348 The Best Mother You Could Ever Ask For ?

"Shut up." Purple Sabre Fairy's forehead began to furrow slightly. With another flick of his fingers, two plasma sabers had materialized from thin air. Including the one at his feet, he had hit the cap for the number of plasma sabers he could simultaneously control.

Old Cat observed his desperate struggles and commented, "It's useless, completely useless. I've already repeated so many times that this is diamond. Also, I even hired a tailor from the district to produce an amour using this material, especially for my apostles. Speaking of which, that tailor is quite good at what he does. Based on the blueprint, he created an amour which was impregnable to any conceivable weapon and yet allows the user to move freely, with zero restraints. Are you interested in one?"

Uncle Meng had spent all this time preparing for this power. Hence, he was able to extract the vast reservoir of carbon lying within the Earth. Currently, these carbon atoms had materialized into a dome, encircling everyone within it. This was his ultimate defense.

A storm of clanks and rattles erupted as the sabers clashed against the wall in vain. On the other hand, the dome shielding them began to mutate and transform before ultimately becoming 7 pieces of armor. Donning on these invulnerable armors, the apostles were as good as invincible.

Purple Sabre Fairy felt shivers running down his spine when he saw it.

Old Cat burst out in another wave of laughter, "Just look at it. It looks good while offering absolute protection. Furthermore, it's handmade! Are you sure you do not want one for yourself?"

Sonia who was standing on the sidelines the entire time looked on with her brows locked together, "Do you get this feeling that Old Cat has grown more talkative the moment Purple Sabre Fairy came?"

Li Tian was taken aback by Sonia's sudden question and mumbled, "Really?"

With the stylish yet functional armor adorning their bodies, four of the apostles who had the power of fire started making their moves again. By continually producing the jets of air stream from their feet, they began to levitate into the air slowly before going straight for Purple Sabre Fairy.

Meanwhile, Uncle Meng had to focus all his attention on his power in order to ensure that the carbon remained in the current state and shape throughout their flight.

"They can also fly?" This power which was only revealed now stunned Purple Sabre Fairy. He realized that they had purposely hidden this power previously to protect Old Cat and Uncle Meng.

He continued shooting sabers towards them out of desperation, but the results remained the same. The sabers simply ricocheted off the armor with a loud clank.

With the four apostles speeding towards him, Purple Saber Fairy had no choice but to run.

Even though the apostles were not extremely quick, but their raw number advantage conferred them a much-needed edge. Furthermore, Purple Sabre Fairy still could not solve the enigma behind that troublesome armor. Things were looking very bad for him.

…

Zhao Yao swept his head around and was pleasantly surprised by the crowd he had gathered. There were almost 200 people behind him, including the victims of the scams and even locals themselves. These were the people Zhao Yao had tricked along the way.

Zhao Yao's trick was simple: Grab Black Panther by the neck before stabbing him exactly three times in his belly. Surrounded by the face of astonishment, Zhao Yao would splatter the miracle water on his wound which would heal him in an instant.

"This is weird, why did I even bother to trick the locals?" Zhao Yao's forehead furrowed slightly as even he himself was perplexed by his own actions.

Just when the thought of putting a stop to this absurd behavior crossed his mind, he had already plunged the dagger into Black Panther's body unknowingly.

"Muscle memory?" Zhao Yao slid his own pair of hands a look of despise.

At the same time, the size of the crowd had grown to the extent that it was impeding Zhao Yao's progress to escape. He could only rally the crowd as they ambled towards their next victim Zhao Yao was obliged to save.

Because of this, he did not focus as much attention on Black Panther as compared to before.

"Hey, Uncle Zhao, it's me!" Black Panther started waving his hand frantically in the air at an old man in a house not too far away.

Uncle Zhao had never expected to see such a large crowd gathered here. He ambled towards Black Panther and asked, "Hey? What happened? Are you guys rebelling?"

Psst!

Black Panther slid the gleaming dagger into its sheath as a creepy smile crept up his face. He whispered, "Uncle Zhao, the true miracle water has appeared. The good days have finally arrived upon us. Fortunes are awaiting us."

A pool of blood spluttered out of Uncle Zhao's mouth as his trembling fingers pointed straight at Black Panther. The smile had vanished from his face as he trembled in agony.

However, the grin remained on Black Panther's face as he reassured Uncle Zhao with a pat on his back, "Don't get too excited, Uncle Zhao. Everyone has already been through this. You'll be as fit as a bull in an instant."

Zhao Yao caught up to Black Panther before slamming his fist at the back of his head. He could not help but feel sorry for Uncle Zhao who had collapsed to the floor. Zhao Yao quivered with anger and screamed,"Are you trying to sabotage me?"

Come to think of it, tens of villagers had already fallen to Black Panther's absurd stabbing. Just the thought of it caused Zhao Yao's body to lock up with rage.

Black Panther had turned this fraud organization into the crime scene for a mass murder, turning the both of them into fugitives wanted by the entire country or even the entire world.

Zhao Yao knew he had to put an end to his shenanigans. With a solemn expression, he took the dagger from Black Panther's hands and instructed, "Black Panther, you are no longer allowed to use your power without my permission."

"Huh! Why?" Black Panther began scratching his head violently.

Zhao Yao explained, "Stabbing an ally in their back is a behavior that is greatly frowned upon in our world. If word about your actions spreads, you will have zero chance of surviving out there."

Zhao Yao's stupid reason seemed to have resonated with Black Panther as he nodded his head in agreement.

Suddenly, Zhao Yao felt something grabbing his ankle. He lowered his hand and realized Uncle Zhao was still lying in a pool of blood beneath him. He immediately squatted next to him and began tending to his injuries.

At this moment, that same Psst sound rang in his head.

"Not again!" Zhao Yao was in a state of denial as he slowly lifted his head. Zhao Yao could not help but plunge his face into his hands when he saw what happened. Anger took over him as Zhao Yao roared, "Black Panther! I've already repeated umpteen times not to stab others! Where did you even get your knife from?"

With a frown on his face, he whispered, "I didn't use my power. I stabbed him when he was facing me." He then unbuttoned his trench coat which revealed tens of daggers hanging within it. With a wide grin, he rushed towards Zhao Yao and shouted, "Master, take a look! My mum was afraid that I would run out of knives. Hence, she designed my coat such that I could hang all these daggers inside! Look at this one! My mum specially sewed animals' fur onto it to protect my hands during the harsh winter.

Also, take a look at this one. It is wrapped with the most absorbent material available in this district! My mum knows that I suffer from the problem of sweaty palms. Hence, she gave me this so that I can continue to perform even during the hot summer …"

Zhao Yao had no idea how to respond to those words, "What is your mum trying to do?"

Black Panther answered, "My mum says that a man must know how to wield a sword. If not's, he's worse than a child!"

Those worlds only managed to add oil to Zhao Yao's raging anger. He grabbed all these daggers, swords, katanas and stashed them within his belly. He continued, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to stab anyone. I don't care if they are facing you or not."

Disappointment sagged through Black Panther as he heard those words. Zhao Yao then resumed his mission.

Even though he had gotten rid of all his weapons, he was still worried that he had some tricks hidden up his sleeve. Hence, Zhao Yao continued staring at him while looking out for his next target. He even began to chat with Black Panther.

"Hey, as for your power, may I know how you choose who to stab?"

Black Panther looked skyward before scratching his head and answered, "I have no idea. I have never thought about it."

"Then how did you come to realize that you had acquired this power?"

Black Panther cackled at the question before replying, "I really haven't thought about it. I just did it."

Zhao Yao was left speechless by this man.

After a brief period of silence, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and cautioned, "It's best that you stay away from knives for the rest of your life."

At this moment, a thunderous bellow erupted from the sky which caught everyone's attention.

Even Zhao Yao was startled by the noise. Everyone raised their head and saw streams of white trails in the sky, "Is that a plane?"
