Chapter 237: Injury and Anger

But, the thing is, his treasured mirror wasn't activating. In actual fact, it wasn't even accepting his Qi as always.

What was happening here?

He didn't have any idea why something like this was happening.

Did his Master refuse his connection to his treasure?

No that couldn't be it, because the treasured mirror wasn't even accepting his Qi, it was like it wasn't a treasure mirror anymore, but just a random object.

How was this possible?

But while he was stunned and thinking about the possibilities like that, he didn't notice his opponents attacking him at the same time once again.

This time that arrogant pri*k was coming first in his direction with his fingers and hand positioned as a blade headed towards his neck, ready to reap his life or cause a severe injury.

His hit was totally critical if it connected, and he noticed about it only a now, that the 'blade' was only at an arm's reach in front of him.

Concentrating fully on the reflexes to dodge that critical hit, he only managed to protect his neck, by moving slightly to the left, but still, he wasn't able to fully dodge that hit.

His right shoulder now had a terrifying bleeding wound, while his shoulder bone was not only broken but also smashed to little pieces.

It would require a lot of nursing and herbs to make it possible to turn to its normal state.

It was truly a malicious hit, but not like he could expect anything less from these guys.

What he didn't notice though, was that together with his shoulder, even his treasured mirror had left his body.

While the Royalist's leader was at least still thanking heavens for the fact that he was still alive, the situation of the other two had just started to heat up.

While the arrogant pri*k was totally focused on injuring and stealing that precious treasure from the Royalist's leader, Li Qi was totally focused on injuring and killing him.

But differently from the arrogant pri*k who was using his hand as a blade to kill, Li Qi had taken out a knife from his arsenal to attack his opponent.

To not show his intent earlier than it should his knife seemed pointed towards the Royalists leader.

But, just as that arrogant pri*k's hand blade connected to the shoulder of the Royalists leader, Li Qi's knife changed the seemingly direction, and turned towards the left shoulder of the arrogant pri*k.

The arrogant prick had been expecting such a move but he seemed to have underestimated Li Qi's speed and power.

It was precisely due to that underestimation that the knife passed through his clothes and made a deep cut on his left shoulder.

But even though the cut seemed deep it hadn't really caught any important part of his shoulder, it only looked like it was badly damaged.

Li Qi was a veteran fighter and he could understand almost immediately about the seriousness of that injury, that was why he spit with a remorseful voice,

Li Qi:" Tche, so you were expecting that!"

That arrogant pri*k seemed to have had his ego just powered up and said with its usual arrogance,

Arrogant pri*k:" Of course I was, who would believe to pets and idiots."

His comments were mocking the Royalists and the Orientalists at the same time, but there wasn't much they could do.

At the moment he had the upper hand on their fight, he had already injured one of his opponents, and taken the treasure, while escaping a critical hit.

He had all the right to be cocky and arrogant at this moment.

In this attention and cockiness took the treasured mirror on his hand suddenly disappeared. It was like it vanished in thin air.

But the cocky smile on his face hadn't vanished yet, this pointed only in one opportunity. This guy had a space ring.

If Li Qi managed to kill this guy then he would be able to not only take two treasures but at the same time a space ring, which was so valuable to any cultivator.

Space rings were much more valuable than some weak low-grade mortal treasures. Space rings in itself were High-grade Mortal treasures.

That was why his attention at the moment was on his left hand, where was located that small ring he so much coveted.

Now he made the decision that even if he had to sacrifice an arm or a leg, he had to take that ring. Furthermore, who knew what could be inside that ring.

Seeing Li Qi's greedy look on his space ring, that arrogant pri*k was having his ego pumped but at the same time, he was also angered.

How could a weak and useless idiot like the one in front of him, place his eyes on his most precious treasure, his space ring.

With this thought in mind, he said scornfully,

Arrogant pri*k:" It's true what they say, place a bone in front of a dog and he will salivate. Too bad this Young Master never liked dogs."

With that said, he took out his treasured sword from his waist, and this time it was fully out, pointed towards Li Qi.

No matter how confident Li Qi was in this fight, he still was a bit hesitant, seeing that sword.

Things were about to get real at this moment, that arrogant pri*k's insults didn't matter at this moment. After all, history was written by the winners.

At this moment though, the only existences to both of them were themselves and their opponent.

They had totally forgotten about their mission, they had totally forgotten about the Royalist's leader beside them.

Everything would be decided in one attack. Li Qi couldn't afford a long-lasting battle, especially when he didn't have the treasure knife of his Master.

As for the arrogant pri*k, he wanted to teach this poor and idiot dog not to covet his treasure. That was why he wanted to incapacitate him in one hit.

While they were preparing for that determining hit, the Royalists leader took this chance to escape down, and go look for his group.

Now that his treasure was in the arrogant pri*ks hands, they didn't seem to care much what happened to him.

As for their underlings, what a joke! They were putting their lives on the line here, who cared what happened to them.

While they were charging everything they had in their weapons and limbs, the Royalists group leader, arrived at the slaughter that had happened down on the ground.

Everywhere he pointed out his vision, he could only see limbs, blood, and gore. Almost not even one of the people down there were in one piece.

Each and every one of them had been fragmented at least in two pieces.

And it wasn't only the members of his group. People of different groups had been thrown over each other as if they were garbage.

Or it would be more precise to say that their parts were thrown over each other, and had mixed in a gore and bloody mosaic of bodies.

All their possessions had been taken from them, and only their tattered clothes were still on their bodies.

He was shocked by this view, this gore sight that he had never thought to encounter.

Who would be so merciless and do such a thing, it was like the God of Slaughter himself had come here and fragmented these people to pieces.

While he was so focused on the gore sight in front of him, he was startled awake by the steps of someone behind him.

Turning his head behind, he could see that mysterious guy just standing there. He couldn't see his face but he could swear that he felt like he was smiling.

How could someone smile in the middle of such a scene?

He must be a mental person. At this moment the Royalist's group leader had a look of dread and extreme hate.

In the fragmented pieces on the ground, he could recognize some of his group members. People he had shared weal or woe and had known for such a long time.

That's why he hated this mysterious guy for doing all that to them, for not giving them a proper death, nor a proper burial.

Noticing the Royalists group leader's look on himself the mysterious guy didn't seem to be scared or frightened that he had been found out.

Quite the opposite actually, he seemed to be somewhat excited. It was at this time that he said,

Mysterious guy:" Oh you seem so angry at me? What do you want to kill me?"

Thinking in his selfish way, in his rightful anger, the Royalists group leader, released a powerful roar while screaming,

Leader:" Roooaaaarrrrrr… You bet I am, I am going to kill you right here motherfu*ker!"

Saying that he immediately changed in his true form, an ash-gray hyena, and jumped in the direction of the mysterious guy, his claws were out and pointed towards his neck.

He was expecting him to raise some resistance or dodge his attack, but that mysterious guy didn't seem to move, and when he raised his arms to protect himself was too late.

His sharp claws had already pierced through his neck and separated his head from his body. He had unexpectedly killed him in one move.

Just as he thought that all this finished and that he could finally leave this place, another mysterious guy appeared in front of him.

He was identical to that earlier guy.

They were as identical as two drops of water.

That same cloak, that same stance, that same cocky attitude, and finally that same voice who started mocking him,

Mysterious guy:" You didn't think you could get rid of me in one hit, did you?"

Seeing that guy appear again and mock him like that, his anger and hate once again clouded his mind, and once again roaring powerfully, he jumped towards him.

This time that mysterious guy managed to take a defensive stance and try to block his attack.

But once again his powerful claws pierced through his hands that were making the block and got stuck in his guts.

Once again in his anger, he fragmented that mysterious guy's body in two pieces by the guts.

But…
