Chapter 158: The Bodyguard
In the moonlit village of Fyren, a blue dome enveloped a certain place in Fyren Village.
Yellow carp swam around the blue dome.
Each warrior from the Fyren School stood outside the boundary,
waiting to repair the damage from the attack from within.
People were running away in a hurry. No one wanted to stay still.
Inside the constructed boundary, Little Red was waving a bone stick, playing some kind of song.
A beam of red light shot across the ground, and the surrounding attacks were directional. Pew pew pew.
Thousands of blue carp flew in to meet the attack. Pew pew pew. The sound of collision was deafening. Boom!
Inside, Seraph stood, offering Xixuan a Kisen staff.
Xixuan took the staff and held it up. "Do you know that demon's weakness?" "
Seraph shook his head. "I don't know. Then I'll excuse myself."
Seraph bowed his head, preparing to excuse himself, to get away from the battlefield.
Sisuan looked at Seraph, who bowed his head, excused himself.
A red laser beam shot towards Sisuan. Pew!
Sisuan didn't look back. A red shield-shaped figure appeared in his right hand, blocking the attack. Boom!
Sisuan analyzed carefully. The red laser's attack destroyed Sisuan's right hand. Boom!
Sisuan was shocked to see the red laser beam penetrate his right hand.
Sisuan looked at his hand. Red blood was flowing nonstop, and his right arm was severed.
Sisuan remained calm, looking towards Seraph, who saw the laser beam strike Sisuan. Pew!
Sisuan summoned a magical shield, the shape of a phoenix. A shield as large as an arm absorbed the laser's attack. Boom!
A blue carp charged, taking the laser's attack. "Tan Si Xuan, peeeww, boom!"
Si Xuan looked at Seraph, who was watching the laser pierce the ground. Boom!
A spark of light created a shadow.
Seraph looked up and turned to look at Si Xuan. [This guy, with his arm severed, was standing there with such an expressionless expression. How terrifying. Didn't he feel any pain? The blood wasn't stopping.]
Seraph turned away from Si Xuan. "Then I'll be going. I'll definitely be rooting for you."
[I'm leaving. If you stay, there's...Hope might not go.]
Seraph took only one step, the Kisen staff extended and grabbed Seraph's shoulder.
A voice spoke from behind Seraph, "Take this and escape. My abilities are too weak to protect this. I'll send someone from the Firenin School to protect you."
Seraph turned around calmly. [What...! You want me to take it again? A martial artist, yet you're entrusting tasks to a commoner like me?]
"I trust your skills, so trust in yourself."
Xixuan sighed, his blood flowing red.
"If the enemy wants this, it's highly likely to be dangerous. It shouldn't be given to them for dead. I'm weak, and I can't take this away either. We'll help you escape."
Seraph thought as he obediently took the Kisen staff. "But where do you want me to take you?"
"To the Firenin School." And take my introductory sign. When you reach the entrance, present the evidence sign and tell the people of the Firrenin School, "This is my word."
Do as you wish. They will decide for themselves. And as for the Firrenin School's escorts, I'll send three elite guards. There are people in the Firrenin School who will protect them. I think that place is the safest place."
Sisuan finished speaking and flew into the sky, heading towards the Firrenin School's men. All three were wearing blue robes, completely covering their faces.
Sisuan didn't speak for long, and the three nodded in response and flew towards Seraph. Heeheeheeheehee.
Seraph stood still, seeing the three anonymous, cloaked individuals.
The one standing in the middle spoke, "Alright, kid. The three of us will escort you to the Firrenin School. Rest assured."
Seraph nodded and began running at full speed, trying to escape the fight.
[Okay, so the mission to bring this guy into the school was a success. This is so strange. How did it turn out so well? Besides the chaos and headaches.
Alright, let's go inside. The rest of us will say goodbye on good terms.
But it's good to have three more guards.
What happened? Let all three of them guard you. At least help me. If that Kisen goes on a rampage.]
Seraph ran quickly, but the three of them trailed behind Seraph, so slowly they didn't seem to be running.
The mission leader ran alongside Seraph.
"What are you waiting for? If you don't hurry, you'll waste time escaping. I suggest you speed up, okay?"
I was curious about Seraph, wondering why he didn't run away.
It's a shame Seraph's speed is so low, so he can only accelerate this far.
It's because he's so ordinary, he hasn't even started training to be a martial artist.
This is the normal speed of a five-year-old.
Seraph glanced at the guards suspiciously.
[If I told him this was his maximum speed, he'd probably reply, "You little brat, you're still joking at this time."
Plus, if they believed me, they'd probably say that with my speed, why did they send a bodyguard for me? They also don't know how to explain my story.]
"Actually, I was only slightly injured, so I could only go this fast. The fight with that woman in red left me with internal injuries."
[Excellent. Showing your strength. At the same time, you're threatening the three of you. I don't know who it is, but it's suspicious. That old man probably didn't tell me.
Kill that brat. It's the most suspicious. If I were in the same situation as that old man, I'd have executed him and taken the staff from him.
A five-year-old child can fight a monster that even the entire sect couldn't handle.
But I can fight alone. That's very suspicious. Threatening first. The rest will have to rely on Kisen. What a miserable life.]
The A1 robed man spoke up. "Is that so? Then the three of us." I'll do as you say.
[Suspicious. Master Xixuan told me to keep an eye on this child and even gave permission to kill him. When something strange happens, a child this small can fight against that being. This isn't normal. There must be something wrong.]
Seraph ran at full speed.
Kisen's staff spoke up. "What do you mean? Why did you give me to that old man, my junior? Explain yourself. Otherwise, you and I, and our trust together, might be over."
Seraph sighed to himself. [You three are already in trouble. Adding this guy on top makes it even more difficult. What should we do? What should we do?]
Seraph didn't respond. [Don't go on a rampage. If I say it now, I'll raise suspicion even more.]
"You three, if possible, please protect me. If you see anything strange on my body, please help me."
[I've said that. If Kise starts trying to kill me,
I've ordered the three of them to protect themselves and protect Kisen.]
"Why? Did something happen to your body?"
"No. From the fight with that demon, there's a possibility that I might have been hit by something. If you see anything unusual, please help me. I probably wouldn't have been able to defend myself at that moment."
"Okay. When that happens, please explain."
The three of them ran around Seraph, watching him closely.
Seraph nodded. "I'll be grateful." [The Lucky Footprint hasn't been showing up much lately. The Kisen defense method seems to be working. Next, the three defense methods.
We still need to figure out how to do this.
I framed myself as having a hidden danger from the fight, whether it was accidentally acquired or not. I'm truly a sharp-tongued individual.]
