"hahaha..what a question" one of the man laughed , he was bluffy and had a black short hair.
His physique was large and muscular , his muscles seem to almost to tear through the jump suit he wore.
He had a broad shoulder and his eyes were Deep black , they seemed to cast an intimidating gaze on anyone who looks at them and his presence was quite dominating.
"Such a question you ask , which means you have been a frog in a hole who doesn't know how large and vast this world is"
The other man said as he sneered at Robert , the man seem to have a slender body than the other guy but he still had a muscluar physique.
He had a long brown hair which was braided and tied like a ponytail , he had a pair of crimson red eyes which will naturally scare anyone upon sight.
The eyes were full of killing intent and a deadly personality , the two men wore a white mask on their faces hiding their identities too.
Robert could feel the murderous aura exhaling from the two men towards him , it was likely there are here to kill him.
"Well let's just say we are dao martial artists" the brown haired man said with a grin
"Dao Martial artist? What does he implys here" Robert became more confused at the man's words
"I thought dao martial artists were just fiction , now is this f*cking real, is this world going nuts or it's just me" Robert muttered to himself.
"Just give us what we want and we may leave you dead body intact" the black haired man spoke with cruelty in his tone.
"What the hell do you want from me and why trouble me" Robert asked as he wanted to know why they are after him.
"What a stupid question you ask. We are here for the crystal , give it to us and you will have a good death" the brown haired man said with a devilish smile on his face.
Robert was shocked on hearing this , how come they know about the crystal but Pyke wouldn't sell him out would he.
Robert was in a complete lose as he didn't expect things to escalate this bad for him.
"Look l don't have what you want . You got the wrong person" Robert denied although knowing fully well he has the crystal.
"Hehe.. what a liar you are , trying to lie us we went through the hassle of getting this creature here just to draw you out and you want to flee" said the black haired man.
Robert expression although hidden behind the mask, was full of anger and a raging fury began to boil inside of him like a raging inferno.
"So you the ones who brought such a creature here , bringing destruction and death to innocent civilians and also making good men to fight with their lives" Robert voice sounded cold as his demeanor became dangerous.
"What a fool you are , who cares about the lives of those weak things they are to blame for not been strong to protect themselves" the Brown haired man had a hellish grim expression on his face.
Robert was about to say something when his ears began to twitch and he was able hear a familiar voice.
In the building
Yanran was still trapped under the rubble unable to move .
"Yan..Yanran let ..me see if l can help" mengmeng voice sounded weak as she was losing blood because of the lron rod impaled on her arm.
She tried to get up
"Ugh!"
She groaned in pain as she tried to get on her feet to help Yanran stuck under the rubble.
"Mengmeng stop! Don't push yourself , you have lost a lot of blood and you are too weak" Yanran didn't want to mengmeng push herself just for her sake and mengmeng was also injured.
"Bu..but how are we going to get out of here" mengmeng voice was getting weaker
"I-l don't know" Yanran had a helpless look on her face as her eyes moved around the destroyed place and she could feel the building's shaking.
"Is this how am going to end , what about My husband and my children will l ever see them again?"
Tears whlemed up in her eyes as she couldn't bear the blurt of leaving them without even saying goodbye. All she wants is to watch them grow and become essential individuals in life.
"Tha.. that's mum's voice" Robert couldn't believe he was able to hear her , he then had a flashback about what Lin zhong had told him.
He had told Robert that been a cultivator with beginner insights into cultivation who make his senses improve bit by bit it was called.
"Acute perception of the five senses"
The senses are like a profound mystery of the divine spirits, they lead us to be aware of were we are and what we do.
They are a like a guild in the world making every decision you take comprehend the laws of the heaven and earth dao.
But when senses soar to an unimaginable height in essence , you are feel your world more acute.
With your eyes closed and your mind focused you can sense everything around you clearly with your eyes closed.
With your sight you will be able to see far and wide from a thousand miles .
Rustling of leaves, the droplet of water , whispers of the world and sounds of creatures both big and small will you hear greatly and accurately.
You will be able to smell the good and bad of this world , the delicate aroma of bliss and sweetness will fill your nostrils.
"Are you so scared that you froze like a scraed whimp" the brown haired man mocked Robert who was silent
"Just give us the crystal you weak miserable thing and you can have a peaceful death" the black haired man eyes were full of a chilling Terrifying gaze.
"Weak you say? Just because they are weak doesn't mean they can't be helped" Robert spoke with a calm expression but yet had a firece look.
"Hahaha..what a fool you are, looks like you have gone nuts, the weak shall always be subdued by the strong . Only the strong can rule!!"
The brown haired man said with anger in his voice towards Robert.
"You people had brought something that had put innocent peoples lives in danger and so my blade shall take your life and blood . You shall cease to exit in this world"
Robert spoke coldly towards them and he summoned his blade in his hand and unsheathed it.
The sun's ray fell on the metallic blade upon exposure and the blade give off a sparkle.
"What a pathetic waste , trying to go against two top dao martial artists at the ninth stage of the dao martial condense level"
The black haired said disdainfully and both of them brought out short daggers from their sides.
Although Robert was not that informed about the existence of dao martial artists.
Dao Martial artists practice martial spirit cultivation but they are not like a cultivator, this dao martial artists have this power passed down from generations to generations only in their families.
The secret behind the emergence of dao martial artists date back to thousands of years but no one knows how it came about.
Skills and techniques of dao martial arts are only pased down to people who practice dao martial arts in their respective families.
The energy they cultivate to level up or break through to the next level is called spirit energy . Although not everywhere is abundant with spirit energy they are scared places meant for dao martial artists to cultivate and those must be own by their families.
The levels of dao martial arts are different as follows , dao martial apprentice realm, dao martial condense realm, dao martial refining realm, dao martial filment realm ,dao martial warrior realm , dao martial master realm, dao martial grandmaster realm, dao martial king realm and dao martial divine realm.
"You are such in a hurry to die , well we grant that for you and take the crystal ourselves" the brown haired man had a grim smile on his face as he and his companion took an attack stance.
"Only the outcome of this battle will know who lives and who dies"
Said Robert as he pointed his blade towards them.
"Hah quit the talking only action outweigh words" the Black haired man sunned him and the two dao martial artists dashed at Robert with the intent to kill him.
"You will reap what you sow" Robert said as his voice sounded icy cold filled with hatred.
