"KILL THEM!" Huang Yi Yi roar, the red pearl on Lo tie head glow with faint light the beast roar in earth-shattering sounds the creature pounce toward the Hei Shen members, the heavenly Jade pavilion members follow the beast they all rejoice with the absolute winning on their grasp, they confident they can win over the Hei Shen Sect.
The Hei Shen member remain calmed all of them leaps forwards with weapon on their hand, the shadow guard jump from the roof they move is so quick in a second a few of Heavenly jade pavilion member lose their life, the blood spilled on the ground, the flesh was tear and rip apart and the metal colliding, the quite night become loud with beast roar and human screams.
Lory watch it from the save bench cover with protective array while Zhao Li Xin sit next to her, he examined her face waiting for her close her eyes out of fear, that's why Zhao Li Xin remain by her side he can't let her scared here all alone, but idly Lory's face remains unperturbed, she watches the bloody scene in calm without a hint of fear, Zhao Li Xin even suspicious Lory was calculated the enemy movement and just like he thought, Lory point at the beast.
"What is in his head?" Lory asked Zhao Li Xin.
"Head?" Zhao Li Xin tilted his head to look better at the beast.
"It's Glowing everytime she wave her hand…" Lory squint her eyes at Huang Yi Yi.
Zhao Li Xin suddenly smiles, he look at her proudly "So you see it….." he stroke her head dotingly "Thank you, now it's gonna be easier" he chuckles.
"Hm?" Lory tilted her head confusedly.
Huang Yi Yi got block by Jin Hao who knew this dainty looking man is very strong, his long sword imbued with ice every time their swords colliding she hear a crack from her own sword, she got anxious. She throws another kick to Jin Hao's chest but he dodged her easily as if he plays with her but what infuriated her more is Zhao Li Xin's relaxed expression, he remains leisure in his bench being chummy with his lover without any concern.
Huang Yi Yi waves her hand again the bracelet on her hands glowing faintly, Lo Tie suddenly become more aggressive the beast didn't care how much wounds it got he jump away from its enemy the creature run toward Zhao Li Xin, the creature run in frenzy with bloodshot eyes, Zhao Li Xin rise from the bench unhurried.
"Go get him Tiger!" she coquettishly smiles, Zhao Li Xin heart stirred he glance at her with playful smiles then he turns around facing the beast who runs towards him. The only thing stands between Lory and the beast it's only Zhao Li Xin but she didn't look worried and she far from being frights.
The flame from his body ignited, the flame from his body run to his hand gradually make the flame on his hand become bigger, the beast baring its teeth to intimidated him, Zhao Li Xin face lit up for expectation, he hopes this beast didn't disappoint him, the beast jaw widely open to eat him whole, Zhao Li Xin leap to the sky then he dives in incredible speed, he hit the beast with his flaming fist, the beast head sink into the ground, meanwhile Zhao Li Xin land smoothly on the ground.
He click his tongue "How disappointing" he looks very upset, he wants to know how stronger he is know, he thought the legendary Lo Tie will give him enough resistance to train but turn out his wrong.
Zhao Li Xin spectacular movement stops the fight, everyone looking at his direction with disbelieved expression, they hear the rumor that Long Ming is a sovereign level but….are they wrong, is he more than sovereign level? That can't be, after reaching Emperor level the probability to breaking through another level gets smaller and longer like decades...so how is he do it, is the information false from the first time?
Wu San Bo nudged Bei Li Yan who by chance fight close to him "How strong our Lord now?" he can't hide his shocked.
Bei Li Yan shakes his head helplessly "I don't know anymore…."
Bei Li Yan comment give shiver to heavenly jade Pavilion members, Zu Gong hand begin tremble not even Long Ming people knew how strong their master is, what kinda monster he is?
Huang Yi Yi trump card has lost, she was shocked beyond belief, Zhao Li Xin walk calmly towards her. His empty gaze fixed on her make her heart beating like crazy, her feet become numb she falls on her bottom while the'demon Lord' walk closer to her, she feel the King Yama himself comes to collect her life, tears fall on her pale face.
"I….I…I'm sorry...I won't do it again…..if you spare me….I…" she stutters.
Zhao Li Xin crouch infront of her, their face is on the same level now, eventhough she was scared like crazy she can't help bewitched by his face, her face somehow become red she doesn't know her heart race because of infatuation or fear but she can't take her eyes of him, Zhao Li Xin not bother with the 'old hag' thinking.
He clenches Huang Yi Yi wrist, the woman suddenly becomes nervous but slightly excited, her mind run wild from his slight touch but before she can imagine further, Zhao Li Xin crushes the bracelet from her hand and turn it into dust.
Only then Huang Yi Yiunderstands what he had done, her face becomes pale the pearl is an amulet to control Lo Tie without it there's no way the beast would listen to her, Huang Yi Yi stammer "What….what….you have done…"
Zhao Li Xin make eerie smiles, his eyes fill with blood lust, she said she wants to make the beast shread his little savior to pieces that is his bottom line, no one can't hurt her not even him and that's her big mistakes, if only she didn't said that he would give her quick and clean death but not anymore…..
He leaves Huang Yi Yi seat on the ground the woman is to weak to move, she looks Zhao Li Xin lift his lover from the bench then he leaps to the sky, the Hei Shen Sect follow their master, one by one disappear without saying anything but ridiculed smiles towards them, it is ridiculous the different power between their Sect is to wide how could they have thought they can win against Hei Shen Sect but before they can comprehend further, the unconscious beast suddenly move.
Lo Tie lift his head from the pit, the pearl on its head has crush, without it the beast cannot be control, Huang Yi Yi trembles profusely, the beast glare at her, the beast recognize her as someone who forcefully subdues him, Huang Yi Yi face become white as sheet her back drenched with cold sweat, Zu Gong didn't care about her he used this opportunity to run and he, not the only one who thinks like that.
All of them scattered one by one jump to wall but strangely they feel electrocuted, they all fall back on the ground only then they see transparent shield around the manor everyone gasped, it's an array....they all confined inside an array with Lo Tie!
______________________________________
Zhao Li Xin only follow by Mong Ki and Mong Yi the other already back to where they come from, she heard the faint screaming from the distance she could guess what happened, is she feel bad about it…..of course she is but then she remembers her father said to her.
'It's fine to be soft if you just a girl but as a leader, you cannot be soft, you can't protect anyone if you soft'
Zhao Li Xin is a leader, his job is protecting his people and everything he cared about, if he weak the one who would be scream would be him and his people, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and that's what he's doing, she believes this must take a toll on him whether he notices or not, you can't take one thing without losing something.
While carry her, bouncing from branch to branch he feel Lory strong gaze, he look down the woman staring at him the she smile gently at him "I'm glad your save" she lean her head on his chest.
Zhao Li Xin didn't know why she worries about his safety but nonetheless his heart becomes warmed and light, it's weird he never felt like this after he killed someone.
Later on they arrive at the same place Ming Yue Yin recuperated, it's a beautiful villa on the hill cover with bamboo tree and flower bush but most of all it got the three-layer hot spring with blue turquoise color, she can't wait to soak herself but Zhao Li Xin told her to rest since it's almost morning, Lory reluctantly agree.
____________________________________
Zhao Li Xin private manor is not on the crowded area, so few people who hear commotion from the manor and they are not dared to interfere so in the morning people got curious what happened in that Manor, they report to an officer about what happened, people don't know who is living inside the lavish Manor except for the rumor he is a rich man from different city so the officer thought if the owner has no relation with Royalty or high-rank official they don't need to be polite.
The officer come with a few soldiers, the first thing they saw is the broken front gate, then they smell a thick scent of pungent smelled fill the air, they immediately cover their nose and mouth they they look each other in horror. They take out their weapon from their waist they feel a very bad feeling about this eerie place.
The walk deeper in the manor, then suddenly they see a half body corpse floating on the lotus pond then they see a human head on the floor with fright expression, the soldiers panic-stricken they see a lot of corpse and limbs all over the place, they want to run away but the high officer scream at them to brace themself even though he also secretly scared with the scene.
They walk carefully avoiding the corpses on the floor, then they walk pass to the moon gate and that's when they all scared to death and run out of the manor frantically, some even kick the man in front of him who block the exit, the high official also run without care the scene is too frightening he might never forget it for the rest of his life.
What they see is the Lo Tie corpses cover in blood and wound surrounded by human corpses, on the creature's mouth there still a woman head with wide eyes open, her long dark hair scattered inside the beast's mouth.
The shocking news reaches the Emperor Liangzu, he knew this is Hei Shen sect doing from all the corpses none of them is Hei Shen sect member that's mean all victim is Heavenly jade pavilion, the emperor realizes he cannot rely on Heavenly jade pavilion anymore, the end of that sect is certain soon Hei Shen claw will claim the Heavenly Jade pavilion.
Not just Emperor even Huang Si Yun the Sect master Heavenly jade pavilion also tremble in his chair, they can feel it the Demon is coming for them.
