Invitation to War (2)

The headquarters was a tower over 100 meters high with three floors. Sado, the leader of the Frosthorn clan, was usually based on the first floor.

Within a few seconds, Yasuo broke the front door, looked at several giants varying in size and armor in a meeting, and smirked.

The moment the giants heard the commotion and saw the door breaking, with a human casually walking inside, many of them were about to attack. But their leader suddenly stopped them with a serious expression on his face.

Yasuo didn't throw the invitation and flee as Balqis and Vethas tasked him. Instead, he strolled forward in steady footsteps. The next thing he did while all eyes were on him was take an empty chair and drag it next to Sado.

Hum!

A frightening amount of qi surged through Sado's shoulders into his palm as he calmly looked at the human slave next to him," Go ahead and read the invitation so I can kill you."

He could tell his identity based on the token he had on his armor, so Sado didn't need to guess who the human was and be worried if it was a strong waste from the other world.

'This temper,' Yasuo was a bit astonished looking at the giant as strong as Vethas, both on the peak of the golden core cultivation realm.'Still, that doesn't change anything.'

" The message is simple: kill yourself and save yourself from being humiliated in battle, or go to the frozen lake and meet your end there."

Spitting in his face, Yasuo casually stood up from his chair. However, instead of leaving the way he came, a surge of qi coursed through his body, and in an instant, he vanished—reappearing kilometers away from the giant's town, hovering tens of meters above the ground.

Shadow Steps!

Sky Steps!

One technique greatly enhanced his speed, while the other allowed him to escape through the air. By combining them, he assured that he would get out unscathed—more or less at the very least.

"You wish!" A roar sounded from inside the first tower's tower.

In the next second, a giant appeared right above Yasuo, his arms raised in a crushing stance before bringing them down with all his might.

'Using all your strength even to kill a mosquito, truly a great mind. Alas...' Right after Yasuo finished his thoughts, he turned around to face the giant, both his hands cross-blocked with a faint dark glow coming out of them.

"You think a qi condensation realm can stop my full attack? You truly think too highly of yourself." Sado sneered.

Just as both of his arms were about to strike Yasuo's body, a woman suddenly appeared beside him. With swift precision, she placed an orb between the two men and the giant.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed through the air as thick smoke engulfed the entire area, shrouding everything from view.

"Did we lose him?" Running through the forest tens of kilometers afar from the explosion, Yasuo looked back, wanting to confirm if their plan worked.

"Don't worry. I used a treasure called moon orb; it blocks any attacks below the nascent soul realm and has various other uses, one of them being smoke." Balqis explained, pointing at the tiny orb the size of a baby's fist placed in the gap between her chest.

Yasuo gazed at the moon orb with shining eyes,' This is it.'

"You actually thought you could run away? What can mere ants hope to do in this situation." Sado had a devilish smile on his face as he leisurely stood tall several meters in front of the two human slaves.

His carefree demeanor makes it appear like he never even bothered to care about the futile attempts they made but was instead enjoying hunting his prey, slowly wearing them down to death till he killed them.

Balqis looked terrified as she looked at the four-meter giant in front of her, her body trembling and sweat-drenched her back,' We are doomed,' She looked at Yasuo, wishing she had more time to spend with him.

However, what was displayed in front of her eyes next made her mind freeze for a split second; her eyes widened, and her mouth opened and closed several times, yet no words came out.

"How..."

By now, Balqis had a clear understanding of Yasuo's strength. And because she was at Yasuo's side for some time, Balqis had a much deeper understanding of his capabilities more than anyone.

However, precisely because of this 'deep understanding', she was even more shocked.

Yasuo's sudden appearance looked like a simple phenomenon, but it had astonishing implications!

"Hold him as much as possible, love," Yasuo did not mention how he appeared but looked at Balqis with his unfathomable and abyssal gaze with his hands behind his back.." As for how I did it, it's your lips."

'The kissing?' Right after, the scenery in front of Balqis seemed to turn into a foggy state as thousands of dark qi orbs as small as grain rushed into her brain.

Without having even the time to react, all she saw the next moment was her body involuntarily speeding into Sado, her qi fiercely circulating into her dantian as she prepared to detonate and take the giant with her.

Swoosh!

Before contact, Balqis threw the moon orb towards Yasuo, a tear escaping her eyes as dark energy completely enveloped them before her whole body, starting from her cultivation base, blew up right in front of Sado.

How did he manage to control Balqis for a while there? It was all due to the constant fusion of dark qi inside her meridians.

Each time they kissed or even touched, he would make sure to infuse the smallest amount of qi into her body in one way or another.

Given her guard being dropped around him, the woman didn't seem to notice anything since he perfectly spread the dark qi into different points in her body, making sure she couldn't sense it as easily.

"With this, I got two obstacles out of the way," Yasuo's figure turned into a shadow before he vanished out of his spot.
