The moment the angelic silhouette's attack reached Ryan's body, his focus on controlling the power wavered, releasing all the spirit power inside him.
"BOOM!!", the moment the angel's sword came down, it hit something solid, causing a large shock wave that shook the entire city. But it wasn't Ryan's body. It was something else. Something so strong that the second the sword hit its surface, the weapon was instantly vaporized. The angel near Ryan was immediately repelled off as it bounced off of Ryan's aura.
The aura he released from his body was not that of domination that belonged to his bow, so it was not silver coloured. Instead this one was a chocolate brown colour. Like Renxue's golden aura, this colour immediately filled the atmosphere around Ryan (visual reference (avoid the buildings)- I dont think you can open in app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiB1JVa7zEo ).
Now, the alley was suddenly divided into two halves: One brown and one pure golden. Although it was already dark, the power in the auras caused them to shine bright that it lit up the entire dark alley. Till just a few minutes ago, the only aura that was prevailing was the golden one. It had a majestic feel and covered everything nearby, giving it a royal look. But the new aura that released from Ryan was completely different: It was..... intense.
It did not have any killing intent like the asura's or malice of Rakshasa. The one word that would describe it well would be 'apocalyptic'. That's what it felt like to Renxue. Like she was in an endless void. It was so overbearing. It wasn't a kingly aura though. It was more like, in its presence, no one would dare to be the king. "See, this is what I didn't want to do", Ryan sighed as he looked at Renxue with a hint of apathy in his eyes. He could see the angel behind her slightly trembling. As the center of the power, he understood why. This chicken was so damn strong!
In his eyes, time had started flowing 'Dang, that geezer was not lying when he told me not to underestimate its strength. This power is indeed domineering. But, still I did not manifest the spirit, where did this come from?', Ryan exclaimed mentally as he closed his eyes and tried to acclimate to the power being released from his body. He immediately found the answer as he looked a bit deeper into his spirit power, but Renxue beat him to it.
"Y-Y-Y-You!! Why do you have a domain?! How do you have a domain? and why is it like this? Why is my domain not affecting you?!", Renxue shouted at Ryan with immense shock in her eyes. Of course she would be scared. The boy who figured out her secret was not weak. In fact, he had an unbelievably strong domain that could repel her angel domain at the strength of a spirit elder when it clearly was at the level of a spirit scholar. She was so close to pissing her pants. For all she knew, this guy and his sister could be experts in disguise. Yes , that must have been the case. The absurd amount of food they devoured, which caught her attention, should have been a result of that.
Yes, it was a domain. 'Oooh, so thats what the old guy meant when he said there are other ways for me to use the spirit than just manifesting it. And also, thats why it felt like when my bow awoke, cuz, that came with a domain as well! Alright, this is good stuff, I can live with it', Ryan thought internally. He felt an ability inside the domain, but it felt too risky to try out right now, especially with resistance coming from his opponent's domain, he couldn't afford to use it or slack off.
He felt the effects of the girl's domain leaving his body and also saw that she was intimidated right now. But Ryan was no fool. He knew he couldn't push his luck. Sure, he was OP, with an awesome spirit. But with all the restrictions he had right now and the vast spirit power difference between a spirit scholar and a spirit elder, figuring out that a head-on confrontation had low chances of success was a no-brainer. After all, it wasnt like he was gonna find a bloodline inheritance of a pr*mo*dial az**e d**gon or g*l*en c*ow in one the abandoned buildings in the alley during the fight and level up straight into spirit ancestor ranks (unlike someone from a certain novel *cough*cough*- I like the novel though). So he had to take advantage of her fear and get info. out of her and flee before his cover is blown.
Ryan's body immediately blurred and appeared in front of a stunned Renxue. He then put almost all of his spirit power into increasing the pressure of his domain. Now she was visibly shaking. Without giving her a chance to counter, he grabbed Renxue's neck and held her against a wall. Ryan asked, (imagine the words in batman's voice from batman begins for style points) "hmhmhmhm..... I presume you will not be divulging what happened today to anyone I suppose?". Although it had the tone, it definitely wasn't a question, but a threat. So Renxue fiercely shook her head. Ryan smiled. "Then we will treat it as a senior giving advice to his junior. And what will you tell your stupid bodyguards who still haven't found you?" "That it wasn't that boy and I lost my way while running through the alleys". "Good girl. But just so that you dont forget, I will give you a present", saying this Ryan's other hand applied pressure on her chest, ripping apart the piece of cloth wound tightly inside her dress. Her slightly plump oppai jumped out and slightly jiggled. Ryan's hand then started squeezing both of them (with the clothes on top) alternatively.
Renxue didnt know whether to beg for mercy or scream "Pervert!!!!!!!!!!" as she bore through a minute of that torture. A small tear could be seen at the corner of her left eye. Seeing this, Ryan immediately felt bad. He wasn't a bad guy, he just wanted to teach her a lesson. Also, he wanted to get back at bibi dong for insulting him a couple days ago. He also felt afraid that she would attack him without thinking about the consequences, in which case he would be screwed. Anyway, he immediately removed his hands from her body, said "We will meet again" and bolted away. Renxue, now completely humiliated, broke down and started crying, but, she was also relieved that he didn't injure her.
Above a tall building around a quarter of a mile away, a pair of bloodshot eyes looked at this scene with incredible fury. "You little bastard! If it wasn't for me being preoccupied with preventing young mistress' aura from leaking out of this alley, I would have personally dismembered your body and fed it to crows. I have already memorized your 'real face'. Hmmph! As a peak spirit saint with a 100000 year old skull spirit bone who focuses on illusions, I was able to see through your facade. I swear I will report this to the grand elder personally and extract all your secrets before having you die a dog's death!!!!", he said to himself as he removed the small glass like barrier he placed all around the alley. This was also the reason why the bodyguards couldn't find their 'prince'.
After he carefully removed the barrier, eventhough he looked around, he could not find the evil bastard who violated their princess. Yes, this guy was the elder in charge of Renxue's security (epic fail he is). Extremely frustrated by the events, the elder decided to go to the Pontiff hall to let Qian Daoliu know of this matter. But just as he was about to fly away, he heard a man's gentle voice, "good day for a walk isn't it buddy?", the elder immediately turned his head back. What he saw was a tall, muscular and perfectly tanned man with sharp features, shoulder lengthblack hair and mischievous black eyes, who looked like he was in his early thirties. "Who are you?", the elder asked, with annoyance and disdain in his eyes. "Nobody. I am just here to ask you not to tell anyone about what happened here today.", the young man said calmly. "NOT TELL ANYONE?!!!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW OFFENSIVE WHAT HE DID IS? WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT THAT BASTARD?! AND MOREOVER, WHO ARE YOU?!!!!", the elder started releasing spirit power as he yelled at the young man. The young man still looked calm, as he said, "Well, what he did was necessary for survival, although he did go a bit overboard at the end..... Well, he had a grudge. But he will get better, cuz he is a good kid. And as for who I am , I'd rather show you". The young man released his spirit in front of the enraged elder. The whole rooftop of the building turned silvery white. Immense pressure filled the rooftop, but not even a bit leaked out. "And as for why I care, well, that boy is my son", said XIAO SHAN with a gentle smile on his face and his silver bow in his right hand.
