章 14: Chapter 14 - The Hunt
Shen Fei doesn't wait even a second to respond to the provocation.
Before Xiangju could think of any plan of action, he was already sent flying with a kick to the pit of his stomach. His lungs had been compressed so forcefully that he lost all his air.
With Xiangju still in the air, Shen Fei landed a powerful punch to his face, sending Xiangju flying at least 100 meters away.
'What immense power… I was really foolish to think I could go against him…' Xiangju began to regret his actions, but he had no time to lament.
Shen Fei reached him like lightning, and, again, before Xiangju hit the ground, Shen Fei grabbed the boy's face firmly and started running, dragging him across the ground.
CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH
The floor shattered as Xiangju's body was destroyed.
Shen Fei dragged Xiangju across the entire city, reaching an open plain similar to the place where Xiangju and Nie Li had fought.
The young man from the Sacred Family took a great leap, still holding Xiangju's head, and hurled the boy against the ground.
BAM
The impact was so devastating that Xiangju was buried at least 50 centimeters into the solid earth.
"Where's all that confidence now, you little shit? Get up again, come on, STAND UP!" Shen Fei spat the words at Xiangju, who was so weak he could barely think, let alone utter anything.
The red-haired young man became even more irritated seeing this. He grabbed Xiangju's neck, pressing him further into the ground, and with his right arm, prepared a punch with all his might.
The fist that was about to strike emitted such power that it overflowed with spiritual energy.
"Bye-bye, little Zhu." Shen Fei said with a disturbing look.
'Damn… I guess it's really over… if only I had trained more—' Xiangju interrupted his own death monologue; he had thought of something, something that, if it worked, could prevent his imminent death.
Shen Fei was still looking at Xiangju, waiting for the boy to beg for his life. He WANTED to see him beg for his life; only then could he make up for all the trouble he had caused.
But of course, after Xiangju's death, the Zhu Family would also lose all their possessions and have to bow down to the Sacred Family's subordinates; it was the least they could do.
Shen Fei laughed to himself with those thoughts; he almost drooled thinking about the atrocities he would commit with the Zhu Family girls when they became his subordinates.
But…
Shen Fei refocused on Xiangju when the boy grabbed the arm that was choking him.
Surprisingly, Xiangju still had a determined look.
Both the part of the wrist that Xiangju was holding and the palm of the hand holding his neck began to burn.
FSHHHH
Shen Fei quickly pulled away from Xiangju and began shaking his hand to stop the burning.
"Damn it, what kind of demonic technique is this, you bastard?" The Sacred Family boy spoke angrily.
Xiangju struggled to stand up from the ground, stumbling, but when he raised his gaze to Shen Fei, the sight frightened the Sacred Family boy.
Xiangju's skin had turned a completely unnatural shade of red, and veins bulged all over his body. Looking at the boy's face, a demonic smile was plastered on it, and blood trickled from the corners of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth. It was truly an infernal sight.
"Demonic art..? No, no… this is just my cultivation technique…"
Shen Fei, while feeling an urge to retreat, grew even angrier.
"STOP LYING! Everyone knows concentration is needed for cultivation!" The Sacred Family boy growled at Xiangju.
"I've always been the impulsive, hot-headed type… So it's no challenge to empty my mind…"
Xiangju replied, still smiling, advancing towards the boy who had only taken a few steps back and grabbing Shen Fei's waist firmly. The red-haired boy felt his skin burn.
'This bastard is on fire!' He thought while detaching Xiangju from his waist, Shen Fei delivered a quick punch straight to Xiangju's face; his hand burned, even the slightest touch scorched him.
Before Shen Fei could pull back his fist, even though his head had been pushed back with overwhelming force, Xiangju grabbed Shen Fei's arm with both hands.
FSHHHH
"Let go of me, you bastard!" Shen Fei kicked Xiangju's stomach, sending him flying a few steps back.
The Sacred Family boy looked at his arms; though it hadn't caused any serious injury, even though Xiangju was still as weak and slow as before, the red marks on his arm showed that at least the heat could cause him some damage, however minimal.
Xiangju was still standing, but his whole body looked like it was about to disintegrate. His skin, which was abnormally red, tore, and more blood began to flow from his face.
Xiangju had to bite his lip with all his might to keep from fainting.
Without thinking, he charged at Shen Fei again.
"You're a fool if you think that'll work again!" Shen Fei said, swinging his left arm ferociously, trying to "sweep" Xiangju away. The boy didn't even try to dodge; he couldn't have, anyway. But at least he raised his arms to avoid being hit directly in the head.
Then he was struck, pushed 15 meters away, dirtying his open wounds with dirt.
Shen Fei's arm had been burned again, but the pain that hit him was diminutive compared to Xiangju's.
"I must admit you're brave, but sometimes bravery is just stupidity." The Sacred Family boy said as he approached, or tried to.
A small discomfort hit his right leg.
'At the same time I sent this bastard flying, he kicked my leg…'
Shen Fei thought, seeing that the right side of his pant leg was torn, scorched by Xiangju's kick.
'This trash fights like a wild animal.'
Shen Fei approached and looked at the boy.
"You even have an impressive technique for someone mediocre; if you kiss the sole of my boot and become my subordinate, I might consider letting you live."
The Sacred Family boy said this in a calm voice, as if it were a great opportunity.
Xiangju struggled to get up from the ground, with even more difficulty. He had an irritated look on his face and spat the accumulated blood in his mouth at Shen Fei's face.
"Shove that shit offer up your ass."
The Sacred Family boy began to tremble with rage.
He leaped into the sky, covering his left arm in deep flames as he partially transformed into his Scarlet Black Tiger form.
"DIE, YOU BASTARD!"
And finally, the attack hit Xiangju.
The power was so great that it completely burned the grass, the shockwave knocked down some surrounding trees, it was complete devastation, the force of a Black Gold Rank demon spirit.
But…
A glow dissipated along with the smoke.
"Thanks for the flames, you bastard!"
Xiangju's voice echoed; he had fully and completely recovered.
Shen Fei couldn't believe his eyes.
Xiangju landed a strong headbutt on his nose; his strength hadn't increased much, but it was enough to make Shen Fei recoil a bit. The boy with the scarf didn't waste time, quickly getting up with just one push and starting to frantically kick Xiangju's thigh, which he had scorched before.
"Take this and this, and this, and this, and this…" The kicks continued, quickly adding up to thirty.
"Get away from me, you worm!" Shen Fei shouted, snapping out of his shock at seeing Xiangju back to life. He landed a punch on Xiangju, which he managed to block, but it sent him flying at least 40 meters back.
"Uh… those hits are still heavy." Xiangju spoke to himself as he swung his arms that had almost cracked just by blocking one hit.
"I'm tired of your tricks, Zhu Xiangju. Now I'm going all out!" Shen Fei shouted from afar, unleashing the aura of his demon spirit.
"Give it your best shot! hahaha" Xiangju laughed, then started running at full speed back to the city center.
Shen Fei prepared to give chase, but the moment he stepped with his right leg, he fell to the ground.
'What??' Shen Fei thought, confused, quickly looking at his leg and seeing that, though it didn't appear so, his leg had some bruises caused by Xiangju's kicks.
"This bastard!!!!" Shen Fei fumed with rage.
'Damn, damn, damn, damn. Where do I go? If I go home maybe my father and mother can deal with him, but that'll only make things worse! Think, Xiangju, think!'
The boy ran at high speed through the city streets, having reached Bronze Rank 5-star, he had greatly surpassed his previous strength, but he was still like a small rodent compared to Shen Fei's tiger.
Meanwhile, Shen Fei leaped between the buildings of Glory City, hunting Xiangju like a true predator.
'Where is that worm..?'
Xiangju suddenly stopped to look at the building next to him; it was someone's entrance gate. There were no guards outside, but inside there were probably many.
"I don't think stopping was the smartest thing you could have done."
Shen Fei's voice reached Xiangju. The boy looked back, but unlike the expression Shen Fei expected, Xiangju had a smile on his face.
"You took your time; I was thinking of coming to get you." Xiangju taunted.
Shen Fei ground his teeth in anger.
He crossed the distance between them in an instant, grabbing Xiangju by the neck.
"You've given me more trouble than I'd like to admit, so I'm going to kill you quickly."
"You… really have the guts to say something like that in front of this place..."
Xiangju's words made Shen Fei curious. The boy looked to the side and...
This building, these gates, couldn't be mistaken by anyone living in Glory City; everyone would know exactly to whom this residence belonged. After all, who wouldn't know where Lord Ye Zong and the Legendary Rank spiritualist Ye Mo lived?
Shen Fei quickly looked back at Xiangju; he knew the boy was planning something, so he needed to end this right away!
But, he couldn't prevent what happened next.
"HELP! SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME!" Xiangju shouted with all his might.
