Chapter 57: Fighting To kill

Having a last glass of his juice, Seth turned and followed the old man out of the bar, as he walked out of the door, he was once again hit by the drizzling snow downpour and couldn't help but sigh in displeasure at the uncomfortable weather.

The old man smiled at Seth and said then slowly began floating in the air and invited Seth to join him as he said,

"shall we?".

Seth swept his gaze at the village he was currently in, it was called Oniru and it was located on the extreme eastern side of Magdad country, a nation bordering Ergand federation.

He had met up with Rogers in Azimiliop town and was fed with information that led him to this place, it was his first time outside of Ergand federation, and he was on a mission to draw blood, he couldn't help staring at the few women on the streets who stopped at stared at both him and the old man, murmuring and pointing at them.

The eastern side of Magdad was known for its all year round snowfall, and this led to the people of this region having very light skin, he couldn't help but feel a noticeable tingle in his balls when he saw the milky white skin of the women, and when he turned to stare at Nina, he couldn't help but lick his lips at the thought of latching onto her succulent breasts.

He was brought out of his public leering by the invitation of the old man who he turned to look at.

Back in the bar, the old man had been behind the bar so Seth hadn't paid much attention to his clothes, but right now Seth had to raise an eyebrow at the man' weird dress considering they were in a snowy region.

He wore just a thin white Daoist robe and a pair of white sandals and currently had his hands behind his hand like some grand master.

"Hmm unfortunately I can't fly," Seth said in reply to his invitation.

This question made the old man furrow his brows and stare at Seth questioningly, flight was one of the distinguishing abilities of Kaiser level cultivators, but the young man who wanted to challenge him claimed that he couldn't fly, didn't that imply that he was not at the Kaiser level.

Earlier, Treuchi had swept his soul sense through Seth, but all the info he had gleamed screamed at Seth being at the cadet stage, but his instincts trained through years of battle told him to be on guard.

"How about I carry you then" the old man proposed,

Hearing the old man, Seth looked up at him questioningly, and in reply, he felt a light wind pick up around him, it was like a small tornado that reached just his waist and moved around him, it picked up a little speed, and slowly Seth found himself rising till he was airborne

Thanks to his fight with mama Slowly, this wasn't Seth's first time in the air, so he was able to easily keep himself calm as he floated up.

"Is this okay with you? "the old man asked with a still friendly smile, and Seth nodded his head in acceptance, showing his confidence in being able to deal with any fast move the old man might pull.

The next instant they began moving higher and forward, Seth had no control over his body as they moved, right now it was like he was in the palm of a giant who could easily squash him with a thought, yet this did not bother him, and it showed in his lax expression.

Seth took his time to observe the white scenery below him, snow, tall trees, some people moving around in the snow, and farms located some distance away from the village.

Before long, the old man increased his speed and they both quickly left Oniru behind, and all they could now see were snowy mountains.

"Who are you," the old man asked,

"Evary Seth".

"So why do you want to kill me," the old man asked as they flew higher,

"Do you want the truth or a lie?" Seth asked,

"hmm, can I have both", the old man asked, and nodding his head, Seth said,

"Well the lie is that I was sent by some organization to come and kill you, but the truth is that I want to kill a Kaiser level cultivator, so I got some organization to find me one, and they picked you".

"Oh, so you're just a man out on a mission to kill me because you feel like it," the old man said as he scratched his also-white beard.

"something like that," Seth said," alright this is enough, let's stop here," Seth said as he looked at the snow-covered mountain below them, he didn't want to have too hard a time finding his way back to civilization after killing the old man.

"Okay," the old man said and Seth could feel the wind rotating around him weaken and then move away from him, yet before it could move more than a cm away from him, it slammed back into him with a thunderous clap, but unfortunately for it controller, there had been a flash of purple just before the wind could smack together what had once been in its grip and the controller now found himself shooting down to the ground after blocking a lightening powered kick.

"What kind of power is that, "the old man thought as calmly landed on the snow, staying in the air would just give his opponent the advantage with the ridiculous speed he had just displayed.

A few seconds after the old man landed, a purple light appeared and descended upon him, with the shape of a leg appearing as its heel moved down to slam on his head, and with a doubtful gaze, the old man opened his palm and a pure white staff appeared in it which he he then immediately swung at the approaching leg, deflecting it to the side.

Seth having his attack deflected slid on the ground and prepared to turn around for another attack when he saw the soles of white sandals approaching his face, he instinctively covered his face with his hands as the kick hit and sent him skidding further away.

At first, the old man had thought of taking this battle slowly, but after seeing the strange lighting which the young man manifested and encased himself in, he had changed his mind, although he put on a smile on his face as Seth harassed his daughter, he had nothing but dark thoughts in his heart for Seth.

With Seth being an unknown variable, he had first decided to isolate this strange man before going all out on him, Nina was his daughter, and it was literally going to be over his dead body before he let this young man see the light of the next day, one of them was going to die here today and he had no intention of being that person.
