Chapter 776 The Best Choice To Protect His Secret

"The Qi Clan?" Although he wasn't familiar with the Qi Clan, he frowned upon hearing its name. He seemed to attract a lot of trouble recently. He had been harassed by a group of guys and three Earthly Stage spirit manipulators, and now a Heavenly Stage master was blocking his way. Rocky was getting suspicious whether or not these events were just a coincidence or planned.

"Don't play dumb with me, kid. I know you're a hidden spy sent by the Cao Clan! They must've known that we were going to deal with the Xiao Clan so they sent one of their people to help. Humph. I can tell that you're just as strong as us. But if my brother and I work together, you'll stand no chance." Right on time, a tall, fat man came out from behind a tree.

Rocky threw a quick glance at the man that just appeared and thought he must be the one who had thrown the hidden weapons at him. He could tell that the man was also a Heavenly Stage master, although he was a little weaker than his brother.

"You two are perfect for each other. Like peas and carrots!" Rocky said with sarcasm.

"Come on bloke, just tell us how many people the Cao Clan are going to select from the Xiao Clan to the Beast Master Contest so that we can get this over quickly. Although the Xiao Clan is weak, their beast curing skills ain't that bad. Unfortunately for them, they took the wrong side. So don't blame us Qi Clan for showing no mercy…" the tall, fat man said arrogantly.

"Sorry, I really don't understand what you are talking about. I have nothing to do with whatever your feud is. Besides, I already handed out my resignation to the Xiao Clan. If you're looking for trouble, just directly go to the Xiao Clan. Now if you can excuse me, I'm leaving!" Rocky didn't want any trouble. Although he had exposed his Heavenly Stage strength to them, he did not want to take it seriously to fight with these people. After he finished speaking, he went straight ahead, hoping that the two would let him go.

"You want to leave? In your dreams!" In a blink of an eye, the tall, fat man blocked Rocky's way. Rocky was caught off

, Rocky had already thrown the tall, fat man into a huge stone, breaking it into pieces due to the force of the impact. However, the fat man was much stronger than expected. After struggling for a while on the ground, he got up, looking embarrassed.

"Brother, are you alright?" The short, thin man asked his younger brother, as he rushed towards his side.

"I'm fine. This guy is stronger than we expected. Shall we retreat first?" the tall, fat man said as he saw that the situation was unfavorable.

The thin man looked at Rocky hesitantly. He knew that even with their strength combined along with their spirit-manipulated beasts, they would not be able to defeat Rocky.

"Let's go." The brothers signaled their retreat.

"Oh but you already know my true strength. You want to leave? In your dreams!" Now the tables had turned. The two brothers wanted to leave, but Rocky wouldn't let them go. Rocky couldn't afford everyone knowing of his true strength. Although he was neither a member of the Xiao Clan nor the Cao Clan, he knew that the Qi Clan would not let him get away so easily. The Qi Clan was one of the greatest clans in the Timber Deity Empire, so they would surely keep an eye on him. They might even try to kill him if they decided that Rocky would pose as a threat to their powerful clan. The best choice for Rocky to protect his secret was to kill these two brothers.
