Hao Ren's punch sent the man flying but he stood up on his two feet in a mont and chuckled as he said, "I like your temper, reminds of myself. Had it not been for the baleful energy on my back in the last mont, I might have turned into a splash on the wall."
Hao Ren was not interested in conversing with the person, he simply wanted to fight and test the limits of his physique, he scowled and said, "Do you know that you talk a bit too much."
The young man dashed forward with all the speed he could muster, and so did the man on the other side. The distance closed, and punches began to fly. Hao Ren was adept in defending and attacking using the fundantals of hard and soft. In his realm, strength wasn't everything, and simplicity was enough to kill soone.
As his body moved around in fluid movents one after the other, the void began to ripple. The man fighting him was surprised, he couldn't help but ask, "What is your na?"
Hao Ren didn't reply, he even beca more vigilant against the guy, who pulled out a set of needles and held them between his fingers. The young man could sense a deadly poison coating the needle, and said, "You lose."
The person didn't understand what happened, but Hao Ren dodged his attack and used his Phoenix Flas. The latter struck his palm against the enemy's chest and the Phoenix Flas directly burned wild and consud the man in a blink.
The fight that was looking too intense ca to an anti-climatic ending. One of the people who were watching Hao Ren fight closely had a dark expression on his face, as he yelled, "That fla, that wasn't a spiritual attack."
Hao Ren looked at the man and said, "Flash step."
He appeared five ters away from him and said, "You will know when you try it."
He took half a step forward and from beneath his feet rose the tide of flas, the heat was so high the the blood accumulated on the ground and the wall boiled up and charred quickly. The person only saw the fla tide cover his lower body and torso. He raised his hand to take out a talisman, but then his eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say sothing, however, his eyes dimd down forever.
The tide of flas directly burned his torso leaving only the head. Hao Ren collected the head in his space ring and then he looked at the others as he said, "If you don't co over, I will and then you will die without even a chance to defend yourself. Do you hear ?"
The people looked at each other and Hao Ren said, "If that is the case, co at , together."
The people were shocked, and soone said, "Enough, all this ti walking the edge, and to think this kid is trying to scare , I will face you. Co!"
As he bellowed, the man's body was covered in red baleful aura. He rushed at Hao Ren at a high speed, and the young man charged as well. Just when they were getting close, Hao Ren stopped and shifted his weight to the side. The montum caused his enemy to lose sight of him, but Hao Ren landed two heavy punches to the side of the head and the liver of his enemy.
What followed was a barrage of punches and kicks, so aid to break the guard and other aid to break bones or injure vitals. The fla energy seeping in the body gradually crumbled it from the inside. Hao Ren didn't hold back on using fla poison from channeling his fla wisps inside the body of his enemy, for he knew, a hollow building fell quicker than the normal one.
The man lasted for an exchange of twenty punches after the fla poison infected his heart, and that was it. Hao Ren took a deep breath, chopped the head and collected it, as he looked at a woman and beckoned her to attack him.
The battles continued, and Hao Ren charged with his eyes wide open. It seed as if he was mad, fighting twenty people who were considerably stronger than him, yet he didn't stop. His physique was covered with faint pink marks. He didn't know when he lost his shirt, and his pants were covered with various cuts as well. The young man was panting, it took him a whole day to use various thods to kill the people, but finally he managed to do it. The ninth lane was now empty of occupants.
He collected the heads and walked inside the house after cleansing himself with the spurt of spiritual energy. As he sat inside the house, he found that their were a few shallow cuts still bleeding across his chest. This was not sothing he was used to. He frowned and directed a wisp of spiritual energy towards the cuts.
The wounds healed, but Hao Ren detected that the baleful energy that he had rejected was trying to infect his blood. He pushed this energy out and began to think. Why did this energy change his temperant? What use was it to push it all out when he was still acting like a blood thirsty person?
Thinking about it, he took a chance, he absorbed a wisp of baleful energy and then summoned it all on the tip of his finger. The energy coagulated into a teardrop shape. Hao Ren mumbled, 'Here goes nothing. Eye of Insight.'
His eyes changed and all the information about the baleful energy began to flow into his mind.
*Damn son! You are smart!*
[Wisp of Dragon Aura: Originated from a thousand year old Red Fla dragon. Contains the hatred and anger of the fla dragon and is very corrosive to anyone who absorbs it.]
Hao Ren was shocked to find out that the energy he was absoring a few days ago happened to be a dragon energy. He mumbled, 'How can they have dragon energy here?'
He stepped out of the house and jumped upon the roof. He saw nine people moving into the houses of the ninth lane but they all stirred clear of Hao Ren. The young man still had the drop of the baleful energy floating over his hand, and he looked up at the sky, and said, 'System, how do I upgrade the Eye of Insight?'
*What makes you think it is upgradeable?*
The young man replied, 'Because it is a bit too weak for an omnipotent skill.'
*Got the logic right but not yet good enough. Wait, it will upgrade when the ti is right.*
Hao Ren brushed it off and looking at the sky he analyzed the barrier spread around the city. After a few minutes, he sucked in a deep breath and said, "These guys are good, a Supre Beast Containnt Array and it is working in tandem with another array located in the centre of the city."
He deduced that the people in the city have been getting this bale energy from a dragon. However, what shocked him so much was that the dragon was alive, no wonder the corrosiveness of the energy was so high. Spiritual energy could contain and radiate emotions of the source, and the dragon was very hateful.
Hao Ren stood up on the roof of the house and looking at the drop of blood on his palm, he channeled a wisp of phoenix fla. The wisp of fla and the energy collided, a faint cry of the phoenix echoed in Hao Ren's mind, followed by a low dragon roar. However, soon, the dragon roar vanished replaced by the Birds call.
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Let the dance begin."
He began to absorb the baleful energy and refined it inside his dantian with the help of Phoenix Flas. The process was simple, and it was quick, at the sa ti it was very efficient as well. Hao Ren made up for all the energy deficit that he was suffering all these days.
In the morning, Hao Ren opened his eyes, and flexed his joints and limbs as they all emitted crackling sounds. The young man took a deep breath and took out his sword as he jumped from the roof, before landing on the mainstreet, and he was standing at the tenth lane. This lane had only ten houses, and fights were held in the main street.
The guards at the inner gate all turned to look at Hao Ren. The young man stood bare chested, and looking at the houses he asked, "So, is anyone coming?"
A thick voice replied as a burly man appeared a few ters away, "The Tenth Lane always answers the challenge."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Shall we?"
The man nodded and then as he took a step forward, his aura changed, and his eyes turned slightly red, and he yelled, "Co and Die, pretty boy!"
Hao Ren smiled and dashed forward to attack the man as well. The dance began.
