"What's the big idea?"
"What are you trying to do? Rob me of my nucleus?"
David's eyes sharpened and a chilling light flashed through them.
The ground beneath him exploded as he moved, in just one tenth of a second, he was already before Long Chen.
"Boom!"
The wind stirred and long Chen's eyes opened and he felt as though an hurricane had just passed through him while in fact it was David that had stopped right in front of him.
"I would have turned you into a bloody mist right now, but count yourself lucky I'm in a good mood." David stated with enough coldness to freeze the atmosphere itself.
Scared out of his mind, Long Chen staggered backward and fell down on his butt, sweating profusely.
He had never seen such a monster before. His flying blade was unable to even penetrate through that person's skin and was unable to send that person flying like he had expected to.
Zhu Shimei's eyes were wide open as she also couldn't believe what had just happened. She took in a deep breathe and the walked forwards, speaking with courtesy.
"We thank brother David for helping us slay the monster and preventing any further casualty. You can have the demonic core and we wouldn't take any part of it." Her voice was soft and clear and as David heard it, the murderous saves he was emitting dissipated by quite a bit.
Knowing that he wasn't in his territory and wouldn't be able to as he wanted here, David snorted and grabbed Long Chen's treasured blade.
Immediately, he immediately kept it bound to his sleeves, as though he was the owner. Since the other Person had done something like this, David wouldn't just let his opponent go scot-free, taking his opponent treasured flying blade was his punishment.
And judging by Long Chen's pained expression, it was more than worth it. From the quality of the blade, it seem to be very expensive as the blade was a high-tier mortal flying blade.
Long Chen's eyes flashed with anger. He was a proud prodigy of the Sky River academy. But here he was been humiliated by someone with a lower level of cultivation, he just couldn't accept it. But there was nothing he could do as for now.
"You just wait and let me report to my elder brothers, even if you kneel down and beg for your life, you would never be spared either." Long Chen thought.
But in reality, he stood up and lowered his head as David stared at him.
Snorting lightly, David chose to ignore him. Although her had learnt the art of cutting the weed in its infancy, this weed wasn't enough to disturb his view no matter how ferocious it grows, and since he wasn't at the academy, he couldn't act so rampantly as he normally would.
After the whole episode had faded, Zhu shimei walked forwards and spoke. "There seems to be something else here since the dragon panther could have easily escaped with its stunning speed but instead chose to remain here."
David's eyes twitched slightly. Just how perceptive is this girl? He was hoping to lead the two of them away, but who know Zhu Shimei would have also noticed the odd behaviour from the dragon panther.
Long Chen's eyes shone, since he had lost his flying blade to David and although he still had two more as back ups, of he could find the other treasure the dragon panther was guarding, it might be able to compensate for the loss of his treasured blade.
Quickly, he went towards the mountain wall. David and Zhu shimei wasn't any slower either as they probed through the mountainous wall.
"Here!" Zhu Shimei shouted. At one particular edge of the wall, the walls there weren't actually walls but chameleon colour adaptive plants that could camouflage themselves with the mountains walls.
This time, David eyes flashed and he knew Zhu shimei definitely had some sort of treasure or secret that could see through the surface level of things.
"Is this the legendary true sight?" David couldn't help but mutter to himself. Some people here are born with special abilities as long as their parents were mental stage practitioners of certain levels, there was a 0.1 percent chance the offspring would inherit their divine ability.
Keeping her flying blade circulating around her in all directions, like a shield.
The cave was entirely dark, but this want much of a problem. Long Chen seem to have recovered from his previous awkwardness and immediately brought out an illuminating pearl, brightening up the entire cave.
In that moment, a very fast shadow tore through the air and slammed into Long Chen's protective flying blade barrier.
Surprised, Long Chen staggered slightly but others was no other damage apart from that. Instead, there was a sound of whining in front and a little best the size of a puppy could be seen whimpering and but snarling dangerously at the three people in the cave.
"So it wasn't a treasure, but a young dragon panther beast." Long Chen was immediately disappointed and angry.
Sending his flying blade forwards, he struck out at the little beast with the intent to kill, since it was such a kill joy.
"Bang!"
His blade was immediately caught within someone else's grasp. "What are you trying to do?"
David said with a frown on his face.
Long Chen's face turned anxious and furious as he saw David putting his second blade into his sleeves.
"Can't you see the beast is already a month old!? It's impossible to tame a beast such as this no matter how precious it is! It's better to just slay it instead if leaving it here to kill more people! " Long Chen was in the verge of going crazy. This was the second treasured blade David had taken from him! Does he think flying blades were candies to be snatched off someone?
David blinked his eyes as he thought. "That seem to make sense." But one could see he had no thought of dropping the two flying blades with him.
Zhu shimei's eyes widened slightly, she was also about to attack the beast to kill , but Long Chen's attack was very fast and ferocious, attacking frost before he's could set in.
"What if I was the first to attack, would he take my flying blade to?" Zhu Shimei froze slightly as she saw David admiring her outstretched blade.
Immediately, she withdrew it back to her sleeves. She then spoke. "Brother long chen is right, a beast that is more than three months old would be nearly impossible to tame but this beast is already a month old, and is already used to the wild and it's mother, it might act tame but would kill the owner if there was a chance to do so. Its best you don't try to tame the beast since you are the one who killed its mother." The female disciple advised David.
"What a pity. If we had been here a month earlier, then we would have a newly born Dragon panther in our hands."
David frowned deeply. He knew they were right, but killing an innocent little beast that looked no different than a puppy, he just couldn't find it in himself to do.
While he was thinking, the little beast suddenly shit forwards like a catapult with red eyes, it snarled and but at David's hand.
"Clang!"
David smiled at the cute little beast trying to bite through his flesh. "It's decided, I'm taking you with me." He whispered.
The two disciples looked at each other and couldn't help but be amazed at how strong David's skin was. But then, they shook their heads. In their minds, they knew it was a waste of time if David wanted to tame the little beast especially when he was the one who slayed its mother.
"Cringeeeee!"
Sounds as though two metals were grinding against each other echoed as the little dragon panther refused to give up, wanting to rip David's fingers off but it was as though it was biting through metal.
It couldn't even cut the hairs on David's skin not to mention piercing through its skin.
"You're still too weak." David smiled as he carried the little puppy by its waist and lifted it up to his face.
"You can't avenge your mother if you are this weak, you can only kill me when you are stronger, alright?"
Growl!
"Attitude." David laughed and placed the little beast by his neck.
Ignoring the ticklish feeling he was feeling by his neck and ears, he turned towards the rest of the group. "Now that things have been sorted out, let's get out of here and go meet the young lady."
After searching the cave for a while but found nothing instead, the group turned to leave while the injured two other disciples seem to have recuperated from their injuries as they were with the young lady together with the guard that had woken up from their unconsciousness.
"Thankfully, we didn't fail the lady. This is the fruit you wanted yes?" David went forwards and gave the young lady the fruit he had plucked from the small tree.
