Youth
Yang Tian caught Dahu and placed him gently on the ground. In pain, Dahu moaned and convulsed. He was bleeding and lost a tooth. Eyebrows together, Yang Tian questioned, “What happened, Dahu?”
Dahu shivered and jumped to his feet. He clung to Yang Tian’s clothing with a vice-like grip.
Yang Tian patted Dahu’s head. “What happened?”
“Brother Chubby is in danger. They trapped him inside Dao Palace.”
Had Chubby not thrown Dahu out, Dahu would’ve also been in danger. The two tried to play oriole behind the mantis and sneaked into Dao Palace, only to run into trouble.
“What?!” Yang Tian didn’t think someone could trap Chubby.
“We ran into a creature barely older than you on Mount Pan that’s almost as strong as an Almighty Realm adept!”
“Let’s go!”
“Yang Tian, precious herbs. I’ve lost too much blood…”
“I’m out…” Yang Tian shook his head honestly.
“Ow, ow, Yang Tian, save me. I’ve lost too much blood…”
“Grow up. Look at how sturdy you are…”
Yang Tian flicked a drop of divine liquid into Dahu’s mouth to shut the shameless tiger up. Yet, Dahu complained, “What’s this…? Only one drop?”
Yang Tian eventually shut Dahu up via a not-so-comfortable mean.
Yang Tian found corpses and a long, bloody flight of stairs at the foot of the mountain to Dao Palace. He could feel the majestic aura of the palace from the side.
An intense battle waged on in the deepest section. Chubby’s bone was dyed red in blood. A youth in his early twenties with golden eyes threw heavy blows at Chubby with palm and finger attacks.
A tiger zipped over from the palace, catching everyone’s attention. A black bird with missing feathers erected its posture and shouted, “Master, that’s the human youth!”
“Hurry… I’m over here…” Shangguan Hao called to Yang Tian in a weak voice.
Yang Tian shoved a drop of divine liquid into Shangguan Hao’s mouth despite it running the risk of exploding the latter’s body. Shangguan Hao sat straight up and felt his energy restored instantly.
Voice booming, the hostile youth jeered, “I’m glad there’s more to kill.”
Chubby pleaded, “Me, too… Give me some…”
The youth snickered and threw the heaviest punch he could at Chubby. Yang Tian dashed over and intercepted the youth’s punch with one of his own. Regrettably, Yang Tian was sent reeling back; he luckily got out unscathed owing to his new and improved bones. The youth also stumbled back and revealed surprise for the reason that humans didn’t cultivate their body.
Chubby: “You’re stronger again?”
“Consume the drop so that we can kill this thing.” Yang Tian fed Chubby a drop.
Chubby covered his mouth puffing out vital essence. “What’s this?”
The youth sensed the pure energy and snickered. He directed energy to his arms, making his veins surface right underneath his skin. Yang Tian snickered back, eager to test out his sacred bones. Yang Tian bound toward the youth at full throttle and struck. Their clashes damaged the ground.
Meanwhile, Dahu vengefully charged and spat a small golden blast at the black bird for sneak attacking him. Dahu ripped the bird’s feathers out mercilessly.
The youth had yet to reveal his true skills. Yang Tian’s bones felt the youth’s impacts during their long bout. The youth glanced over to Chubby upon picking up Chubby healing swiftly. Knowing he couldn’t delay any further, the youth gathered energy to summon a golden hand. “Almighty Palm!”
Yang Tian summoned a large seal using hand seals. He howled at the same time he launched his seal through the void. The force sunk his feet into the stone floor. The golden hand descended.
Yang Tian vaulted up and split the golden hand in two with a downward swing using Black Devil.
The youth quivered from the impact his divine soul also felt as sparks flew. What the hell?
Yang Tian launched Sword Aura blasts one after another.
