Chapter 5: Choosing the Gambling Stone
In the forest, Barrier roared through the forest, but no one came to help. Two men in black rushed towards Barrier and swung a punch at Barrier's face. Whoosh! Thud! Thud! Thud! The cries gradually faded, replaced by the sound of a punch.
"Tch! Stop it already! You're such a child, you keep on crying."
"Let's go!" Man in black began walking ahead, leaving Man in black carrying Barrier after him, leaving behind his belongings. Both just wanted Barrier.
Baria was unconscious, blood covering his face from punch wounds. The red blood trailed for a distance. Time passed, and it was almost nighttime. Agfa reached his destination.
There was a hut in the middle of the forest. [Finally, it's quite far. This is it? Ordinary people trying to gain power. It's so sad to see it. Daring to insult a martial artist like this, he deserves a lesson.]
Ak Fei ran straight into the cabin and swung his right foot towards the door. Whoosh!! Boom!! The wooden door shattered. With Ak Fei's reveal, everyone inside looked out in confusion.
"What's going on? Is this Sempan? You're so bold, to do something like this?" Ak Fei drew his sword and looked at the many men in black gathered around.
The fourth man in black stood up and revealed his face. He was a twenty-eight-year-old man with short black hair and a sword-like scar on his face. He was Saboru, a rank 3 martial artist.
"The door's not open. What do you want?" Ak Fei saw ten men in black standing, ready to fight. "Oh, shit! I thought they were non-cultivators, but the aura you're standing in the middle of has a serious look. You made a mistake, Ak Fei, you fool! Hurry up and attack! Agafey showed a look of sadness at his impatience leading to this situation. Agafey ran away quickly. Whoosh!!
[Shi, you have to fight outside or you won't be able to handle it. There are too many of them. Fighting in the open will be their advantage.]
The other nine men in black turned to look at Saboru.
"Follow them. If you can't kill them, don't come back." The men in black ran out of the wooden hut at high speed. After a while, Saboru sat down and looked towards the door that couldn't be closed. Black-clothed man 1 and black-clothed man 2 walked in together, carrying...
Baria. Saboru looked at Barrier, whose face was covered in blood. Black-clothed man 1 asked curiously who had broken the door. "Did someone break in here?" "Yes, that idiot." Black-clothed man 1 walked in.Sit next to Saboru.
"This child will definitely be beautiful when she grows up. Plus, her mother sold her. I'm thinking of selling her." "As you wish." The two were about to sit down on a chair with a barrier in the corner of the room.
Outside the wooden hut, Seraph arrived with Zhang Ming, who was about to flee. [This brat didn't tell me from the beginning that it was this far?]
Seraph sat in hiding, looking at the wooden hut with a broken door. [Isn't this my luck? Are you saying there's a fight? That's possible. What should I do? Can I really defeat my opponent? No way! This must be the reason I brought Zhang Ming with me.]
Seraph stood up, preparing to head towards the old wooden hut. Zhang Ming's right hand reached out and touched Seraph's shoulder, stopping him from going any further. "Little brat, you better not go. That's not an ordinary hut." Don't interfere, absolutely not.
Seraph looked at Zhang Ming with a straight face. "Then I'll go alone. You're here for me, Zhang Ming. And please leave that item behind. If you don't want to help, please leave this item behind."
Seraph slapped Zhang Ming's hand away. Zhang Ming looked at the little boy suspiciously. [This brat, he was trying to help prevent danger, but he still wanted to go in. Is his mind out of sorts?]
"That kid over there is very dangerous. The enemy is as formidable as you think."
"Have you forgotten, big brother? I'm a master at planning, and even better than you agree." Zhang Ming surveyed Seraph curiously. "Does this guy like to brag? You mean he's only this young? You mean he's smart?"
Seraph walked away, ignoring Zhang Ming's attempts to stop him. His golden clothes fluttered, his elegant hair shaking slightly, as he carried a book with the word 'luck' written on it. Zhang Ming helplessly followed Seraph.
[Shi, you're quite the annoying kid. If it weren't for this magical item, I wouldn't have followed you here. Thank you.]
Seraph arrived in front of the hut and walked straight ahead. Not out of courage, but a line of luck floated out the door. Saboru looked at the golden-robed boy walking straight ahead. [A child?] Zhang Ming walked in and surveyed the surroundings. He saw Baria lying unconscious with a bloody wound on his face.
Seraph looked at Baria and examined the three men in black. The golden line from Seraph's body turned white and collided with the man in black sitting in the middle. It was Saboru. The two men in black stood up.
Zhang Ming wanted to slap himself in the face. [Shi, this doesn't look good. This Seraph's life is definitely over. Something must be done. No, I must escape. That's why the kid told him not to meddle in other people's affairs?]
Zhang Ming prepared to fight. Seraph looked at Saboru. [The white line means it can change colors, right? The man sitting in the middle seems to be a powerful figure. Or was it fate telling him to save Barrier? And one day, Barrier will come to my aid?]
"Please take care of the two men in black." Zhang Ming looked at the suspicious child, sure he understood the situation. "Are you sure, kid?"
"Yes, please. If possible, run and fight that way." Seraph pointed at Saboru, indicating the direction Zhang Ming should take his opponent. Zhang Ming remained motionless like a statue.
"Do whatever you want. I don't care about you anymore." Zhang Ming used his second spell, {Green Wind Sword}. Zhang Ming drew his sword, adding magical power to the blade. The green magic power covered the blade, making it twice as large. Zhang Ming ran towards the three of them. Boom!! Whoosh!! Zhang Ming ran up to stand in front of the three.
"Now, this is a fight that we'll have to fight every once in a while. Please hold off." The green blade grew as big as Zhang Ming's body and swung it horizontally. Boom! Saboru leaped into the sky. Whoosh!
Black-clothed Man 1 and Black-clothed Man 2 raised their swords to absorb the magical damage. Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! Whoosh! Boom! Boom! They were both sent flying out of the cabin, creating a large hole. Zhang Ming ran towards them. Whoosh! Saboru dodged the wind blade and landed on the ground. Whoosh! Boom! Saboru looked at Seraph and then grabbed a chair and sat back down. Saboru didn't seem to care.
It was embarrassing for him, a level 3 cultivator, to bully a child. Seraph stood there motionless. "This enemy looks quite formidable, we need to be extra careful."
