Chapter 5: Choosing the Gambling Stone
In a forest, Barrier roared through the forest, but no one came to help. Two men in black rushed towards Barrier and swung a punch at Barrier's face. Whoosh! Thud! Thud! Thud! The cries gradually faded, replaced by the sound of a punch.
"Tch! Stop it already! You're a child, you're always crying." "Go!"
Man in black 1 began walking ahead, leaving Man in black 2 carrying Barrier after him, leaving behind his belongings.
The two only wanted Barrier. Barrier was unconscious, blood covering his face from punch wounds. The red blood trailed for a distance.
At a certain location, time passed, and it was almost night. Agfe arrived at his destination. There was a hut in the middle of the forest.
[Finally arrived! It's quite far. This is it? These ordinary people want to gain power? It's so sad to see. Daring to insult a martial artist like this, he deserves a lesson.]
Ak Fei ran straight into the cabin and swung his right foot towards the door. Whoosh!!
BOOM!! The wooden door shattered. Ak Fei's presence caused everyone inside to look out in confusion.
"What's going on? Is this Sempan? You're so bold, to do something like this?"
Ak Fei drew his sword and looked at the many men in black gathered around.
The fourth man in black stood up and revealed his face. He was a man with short black hair and a sword-like scar on his face. He was twenty-eight years old.
Name: Saboru, Third-Rank Martial Artist. "The door's not open. What do you want?"
Ak Fei saw ten men in black standing, ready to fight. [Oh, shit! I thought they were non-cultivators, but the aura of the one standing in the middle looked serious. What a mistake! You foolish fool! Hurry up and attack! ]
Akfei's face showed sadness at the impatience that had led to this situation. Akfei ran away quickly. Whoosh!!
[Shi, you have to fight outside or you won't be able to handle it. There are too many. Fighting in the open will be their advantage.]
The other nine men in black turned to look at Saboru.
"Follow them. If you can't kill them, don't come back."
The men in black ran out of the wooden hut at high speed. After a while, Saboru sat down and looked at the door that couldn't be closed.
Black-clad Man 1 and Black-clad Man 2 walked in together, carrying Barrier.
Saboru looked at Barrier, whose face was covered in blood. Black-clad Man 1 asked curiously who had destroyed the door.
"Did someone break in here?"
"Yes, that idiot."
Black-clad Man 1 sat down next to Saboru. "This girl will be beautiful when she grows up. Plus, her mother sold her." I'm thinking of selling this child.
"Do as you please." The two were about to sit on a chair with a barrier placed in the corner of the room.
Outside the wooden hut, Seraph arrived with Zhang Ming, who was about to flee.
[This brat didn't tell me from the beginning that it was this far?]
Seraph sat in hiding, staring at the wooden hut with the door seemingly broken.
[Isn't this just my luck? Are you saying there's a fight? That's a possibility. What should I do? Can I really defeat my opponent? No, that's definitely the reason I brought Zhang Ming with me.]
Seraph stood up and headed towards the old wooden hut. Zhang Ming's right hand reached out and touched Seraph's shoulder, stopping him from going any further.
"Little girl, you better not. That's not an ordinary hut. Don't bother me, absolutely."
Seraph looked at Zhang Ming, his expression calm.
"Then I'll go alone. Zhang Ming, just come here for now. And please leave that item. If you don't want to help, please leave this item behind."
Seraph slapped Zhang Ming's hand away. Zhang Ming looked at the child suspiciously.
[This brat, he was trying to help prevent danger, but he still wants to go in. Is his mind out of sorts?]
"That kid over there is very dangerous. The enemy is as terrifying as you think."
"Have you forgotten, big brother? I'm good at planning, and even better than you think."
Zhang Ming looked at Seraph curiously.
[Is this guy a brat? You're saying he's this young? You're saying he's smart?]
Seraph walked away, ignoring Zhang Ming's attempts to stop him. His golden clothes fluttered, his elegant hair shaking slightly, as he carried the book with him, the word "luck."
Zhang Ming helplessly followed Seraph.
[Tch, he's quite the annoying kid. If it weren't for this magical item, I wouldn't have followed you here. Thank you too.]
Seraph walked up to the hut and walked straight in. Not out of courage, but a line of luck floated out the door.
Saboru stared at the golden-robed child walking straight in.
[A child?]
Zhang Ming walked in and surveyed the surroundings. He saw Baria lying unconscious with a bloody wound on his face.
Seraph looked at Baria and examined the three men in black.
The golden line from Seraph's body turned white and collided with the man in black sitting in the middle.
It was Saboru. The two men in black stood up. Zhang Ming wanted to slap himself in the face.
[This doesn't look good. This Seraph's life is over. Something must be done. No, we must run. That's why the boy told us not to meddle in other people's business too much?]
Zhang Ming prepared to fight. Seraph looked at Saboru.
[The white line means it can change colors, right? The man sitting in the middle must be a powerful figure. Or maybe luck was telling him to save Baria's life. And one day, the barrier will come to my aid?]
"Please take care of the two men in black."
Zhang Ming looked at the suspicious child, unsure if he understood the situation.
"Are you sure, little one?"
"Yes, if possible, run over there and fight."
Seraph pointed at Saboru, indicating the direction Zhang Ming should take his opponent. Zhang Ming remained motionless like a statue.
"Do as you please. I don't care about you anymore."
Zhang Ming used his second skill, [Green Wind Sword], and he drew his sword, imbuing it with magical power. The green magic power enveloped the blade, making it twice as large. Zhang Ming ran towards the three of them. Boom!! Whoosh!! Zhang Ming ran up to stand in front of the three of them.
"Now, this once-in-a-lifetime battle begins. Save me some time!
The green blade grew as big as Zhang Ming's body and swung it horizontally. Boom!
Saboru leaped into the sky. Whoosh!
Black-clothed Man 1 and Black-clothed Man 2 raised their swords to absorb the magical damage. Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom!
Boooooo! Boom! They were blown out of the hut, creating a large hole.
Zhang Ming ran towards them. Whoosh! Saboru dodged the wind blade and landed on the ground. Whoosh! Boom!
Saboru looked at Seraph and then grabbed a chair and sat back down. Saboru didn't seem to care. He was a level 3 cultivator.
It was embarrassing to bully a child. Seraph stood there motionless. [This enemy looks quite formidable, so be extra careful.]
