These two men were ready, sword in hand and highly alert, but they didn't see a human coming in but something round thing, they looked at this round thing that thudded to the metal floor with a metallic clang
Suddenly, white smoke released from the round thing, blocking their vision, and smoke gush into their nose, and lungs as they violently coughed.
"Cough, cough, fuck!" one of them cursed, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Fuck! Who the hell did thi-" The second man's question was cut off as he gazed upon a pair of demonic eyes lurking through the fog. In an instant, he was thrust into utter darkness.
Shao Ren killing this one immediately went to the other one, but he saw Ye Kai washing off the blood that splattered on his face by killing another man.
"Yuck, this blood." Ye Kai said in disgust as he wash all the blood from his face.
Ye Kai saw Shao Ren but this smoke made it difficult to see him, as he snapped his finger and a breeze come out from his fingers, clearing away all the smoke.
"How do you feel killing him?" Shao Ren asked.
"Nothing," Ye Kai answered as he looked at the dead body, he blinked his eyes, "Actually, disgusting."
"Well, still wanna kill everyone inside?"
"Let's see, as long as blood don't came flying at me, then everything is okay," Ye Kai said as they two walked inside.
The inside was like a mine shaft, lined with flaming lanterns that reached up to the ceiling. The lanterns were mounted on racks along the walls and gave the room a misty, moonlight glow.
"Here, he is coming," Ye Kai yawned as he said and looked straight.
Hearing Ye Kai, Shao Ren was ready, and he also looked straight, and soon they saw an old man walking towards them.
This old man had white hair at the sides of his head, and a dense and bushy beard that extended across his chest and down to his belt. His body was sinewy with muscle, and pale blue eyes shone in the candlelight.
"Hmmm," The old man's small eyes looked at Ye Kai and Shao Ren, then behind them, he could clearly see two men were killed and an entrance that malted down.
The old man said as he looked at them, "I didn't knew in today times children like you be so powerful, so who give location of this place?"
"This guy," Ye Kai pointed at Shao Ren.
"I don't like to talk much, Kai, I will going all out, so support me," Shao Ren said, as he likes unleashed a volley of cannon fire at the old man.
Stunned surprise flashed across the old man's face as he lifted his hand to defend himself, blocking the sword with only his bare palm. The old man's voice was filled with astonished admiration, "Your strong for your age and realm, where did you come from?"
"I already said, I don't like talking," The corners of Shao Ren's eyes narrowed as his irises turned a deep, swirling abyss of black. In a movement too fast to be noticed by the average eye, his sword shifted in color and shape until it glowed an ominous midnight hue. Without warning or hesitation, the blade sliced through the air toward the old man's hand but the old man backed away, as Shao Ren follow up.
"What it is this?" Ye Kai saw something black aura glowing around Shao Ren.
"Hm," the old man looked at the cut part where Shao Ren's sword touched, as he was dodging his attacks, he was also checking his hand, and saw that slowly his hand was devoured by the black thing.
The old man cut off his own hand so as to not allow this black thing that threatened to devour everything else to take over his whole body. A look of intense determination burned in the old man's eyes. He suddenly increased his speed and punched Shao Ren's stomach.
"It was a mistake," the old man said between gritted teeth, "to take you lightly." Shao Ren flew back, crashing into the walls, and coughing up blood.
The old man take a look at his hand that he just cut off and saw that half of his hand had been devoured.
"Interesting, whatever this is, if we able to extract it and able to make weapons then it would be truly great weapon," the old man muttered and looked back at Shao Ren that was on the ground, not moving, then his gaze came to Ye Kai.
"Boy came at me and show me what you have," Old man got ready as he looked at Ye Kai, excepting something good.
"No," Ye Kai shakes his head.
The old man's face twisted in a frown as he realized death was lingering behind him. He quickly turned and attempted to leave, but a sword cut into his neck and Shao Ren stood there, crimson soaking their body.
The old man clutched his neck, gasping for air as if he were trying to strangle himself. He wheezed, desperation seeping through the wrinkles on his forehead.
"Wow, never knew you could take on Martial Art General," Ye Kai said, and spray water on the Shao Ren.
"Take bath, blood smell is disgusting."
Shao Ren's breathing was heavy, and his eyes were about to close but before that happened he took out a pill from his pocket and eat it, as his body started burning but cold water came from Ye Kai's hand making him cold and relaxed.
"You overdid this time, for a month you won't able to acative Devouring Devil Bloodline not to mention drawback your going face." Black Devil's voice sounded in Shao Ren's mind.
Shao Ren didn't mind much but focused on his recovery.
"Hm," Ye Kai looked at the old man and saw that the old man's flesh was turning red. Ye Kai narrowed his eyes, and then sighed, "Fuck, my money."
