Chương 6: Terror of a Qi Trainee!
Old Mao's sword came slashing down at an incredible speed, landing on the immobile Jin Bao's shoulder.
Blood splattered as Jin Bao's shoulder was hacked into two, giving rise to an inhumane shriek that gave everyone goosebumps.
'What the…'
Everyone's faces, except for Old Mao, turned pale as they tried to hold back their vomit.
Seeing their friend's body now lay dead in front of them made them shudder with fear and terror.
Ximen Wei did not expect the situation to turn deadly so fast, he did not bother with Hou Yang and Lao Yaoting as he turned around and ran, his speed exceeding even Old Mao.
"Hey!"
"Kid, come here!"
The soldiers who were alarmed by the commotion and now making their way towards the alley, saw Ximen Wei's figure dash out at an alarming speed.
They yelled but to no avail.
Just when they decided to give chase, another figure dashed away from the alley, radiating energy undulations of a Level 1 Qi Trainee, giving chase to Ximen Wei.
When the soldiers arrived at the alley to see what was going on, they gasped in shock as they saw the mangled corpses of three children who were no older than 13.
The iron smell of blood is evident in the air.
They eventually sighed as they looked at the fresh blood smeared on the walls.
"Looks like the Nobles are getting crueller and crueller… Sights like this are not uncommon throughout the Criminals District."
Song Peizhi was not the only one who was doing something like this, other Nobles were doing the same, even worse.
They want to silence those who saw too much or are simply doing this for pure enjoyment in the name of "justice" and "safety of the common people".
After all, they are purging the city and getting rid of crime!
Ximen Wei was nimbly navigating through the alleys and streets as he tried hard to throw Old Mao off, although he was used to situations like this where guards or law enforcers were chasing him, this was his first time getting chased by someone this powerful.
His speed exceeded the boundaries of what a 10 year old child could do as the threat of death loomed over his head.
His only chance for survival was leaving the Criminal District and mixing with a crowd of people.
Green Lotus City does not lack bustling markets which are filled with people, he just needed time to get to one, but Old Mao will not give him that.
"Filthy rat, you are commendable for your speed, I will wonder how you will fare against this!"
Old Mao's voice rang out behind Ximen Wei.
Just as he was wondering what was the implication behind Old Mao's words, Ximen Wei felt all the hairs on his back stand up as a breeze of wind passed by his cheeks.
While giving chase, Old Mao raised his sword up and magically, a peculiar kind of energy materialized at the tip of his sword.
"Qi Technique – Energy Sword!"
He slashed down and a powerful gust of wind followed, the energy caught up to Ximen Wei as it slashed his back.
He bore with the pain and continued forward, his speed not slowing a bit.
Qi Trainees and especially, Qi Experts, possess strange skills and techniques that defy common sense and logic.
From a three to four meters distance, Old Mao was able to magically land a hit on Ximen Wei, although not powerful enough to threaten his life.
Still, if he is able to keep this up, Ximen Wei will succumb to his death sooner or later.
Old Mao's voice rang out once again, this time, it was ringing inside Ximen Wei's ears.
"Kiddo, running is futile, I will show you why Qi Trainees and Qi Experts are feared by people! Rat, I want to end this quick! You should feel honoured to be able to force me to this extent!"
'Force you? What did I do? I am just running for my dear life! Please, whatever it is, do not do it!'
Unfortunately, Ximen Wei's thoughts were left unanswered as he felt the oxygen levels drop and his movements become stiff.
"Qi Technique – Enfeeble!"
Ximen Wei's legs felt weak and wobbly, he was breathing roughly as sweat trickled down his face. All of his energy left his body, making him unable to continue running.
A desperate expression surfaced upon Ximen Wei's thoughts as he thought:
'Is this it? Is this my end?'
"Qi Technique – Flash!"
Old Mao used another technique as his body turned into a blurry figure that appeared in front of Ximen Wei.
"No matter who it is, they are mere ants in front of Qi Trainees and Qi Experts! Rat, let this be a lesson for you, when you go to the afterlife, remember to not provoke the Song family!"
Ximen Wei's vision became blurry as Old Mao's voice continued to echo inside his ears, his senses dulled as a hazy feeling overwhelmed him, just like a person who drank too much beer.
The Qi Trainee Old Mao raised up his sword as he prepared to deal with the kid and move on with his life when suddenly, Song Peizhi's voice rang out behind him:
"Leave him alive, I've got uses for him."
A malicious, creepy smile surfaced upon Song Peizhi's face, the fatty rubbed his hands together as he started thinking about how he is going to spend the night with all the new toys he brought.
Behind him, children of all ages could be seen standing in a line, their hands and feet roped together, rendering them unable to escape.
When Ximen Wei saw the newcomer, his face became even paler.
His chances of escape are now zero, the two figures beside Song Peizhi were emitting even more powerful energy than Old Mao.
If he tried to pull up a trick in front of these guys, he is definitely going to be caught instantly.
Ximen Wei struggled to get up and obediently handed himself over.
'Hey, look at the positive side, at least I get to keep my life right?'
He entertained such thoughts as he tried to stay optimistic, but deep down he knew his life was going to be hell from now on.
Song Peizhi is one of the cruellest nobles of Green Lotus City, just stories of his "dungeon" can instil fear in the hearts of the common people and make children cry all night long.
The terror of Song Peizhi's dungeon can be seen from Jin Bao's actions, nightmares haunted the poor guy as he used to wake up every night and sob quietly in the corner, and now, Ximen Wei was going to visit that dungeon.
