"Alright then, if that's how you want it… I will reduce my inspection time from monthly to weekly then…"

"Hmph! Be careful young man, it would be tragic if His Highness were to learn that you've fallen prey to the many predatory beasts within this jungle!"

The Left Grand Elder threatened with hidden meanings as the two drivers who clearly heard everything blanched in fear…

But whilst the duo were throwing threats at themselves, an explosion suddenly sounded high up in the sky as they both peeked out of their carriages and saw a cloud of red smoke high up in the sky;

"A red flare!?"

Elder Yun looked towards the Left Grand Elder who blurted in fear;

"The Farm is under attack!"

Whoappa!

The sound of a whip aggressively landing on tough flesh resounded within the jungle as the beasts pulling the carriage cried and burst with blitzing speed, trying to run away from the deadly whip that just landed on them;

"Hurry!"

"Faster!"

The duo who were previously threatening themselves had forgotten about their previous grievances as they rushed towards the cave which sadly was still a little bit far from their current position;

'Damn, I have already spent all my saving on buying books to read, I cannot afford to lose my any dime from my next income!'

'Shit! I have already spent all my savings to purchase that special technique, I cannot afford to lose any dime of my next income!'

Elder Yun and Left thought to themselves respectively as the carriage ran as fast as its wheels could carry, but the duo were still feeling like it wasn't fast enough, thus the Left Grand Elder was the first to move;

Boom!

The roof of the carriage on the left exploded scaring both drivers and Elder Yun as they saw the Grand Elder take to his feet and jump on a tree branch;

Tap! Whoosh!

Pak! Whoosh!

Tap! Whoosh!

They watched with stunned gazes as the Grand Elder leapt from one tree branch to the other with blinding speed as he left both carriages behind in no time at all;

"Hmph!"

Boom!

The other carriage also exploded as Elder Yun also took to the trees chasing hotly behind the Grand Elder's heels, as they both rushed towards the cave…

Meanwhile...

Back within the bush just outside the cave…

"Damn! To think they had such a tool at their disposal, we have to hurry and leave here at once!"

One of the tribesmen blurted before rallying the rest of the group as they rushed into the cave…

Whereas…

Within the cage, Min Hong and the burly guy as well as the five free men with swords in hand stood face to face with the trio of Kang, Meng and the last soldier who was already trembling at first glance…

"Can you take on that guy?" The burly guy asked in his thick voice referring to Kang as Dara nodded in response;

"What about you, can you handle him?"

"No sweat, but I will need a weapon…" The burly guy replied as Dara handed him the sword he was wielding;

"What will you use?" The burly guy asked, stunned by Dara's actions;

"He might think he has an advantage because he is wielding a good sword and I am wielding none, but I will have to show him just how mistaken he is…" Dara replied before looking to the five men behind them;

"All of you will take on the third soldier but don't kill him…"

"He will be coming along with us to a place where you all can safely vent on him for as long as you want…"

Dara instructed as the eyes of these men gleamed with a special glow and the third soldier almost lost all the strength in his legs, as Dara bellowed;

"Now!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The soldiers exploded with their respective cultivation base power with Kang billowing an aura equivalence of a 5 Star Qi Sea Stage, whilst Meng was radiating that of s 3 Star Qi Sea stage and finally the last soldier who was pluming with the aura of a 1 Star Qi Sea stage cultivation…

Swish! Swoosh!

Clang! Cling!

Schweein! Sheen!

Both sides dashed towards each other as the sound of sword striking sword echoed from two of the three fronts whilst the sound of sword cutting through the empty air resounded from Dara's side…

The moment Dara dashed towards Kang, Kang who had initially taken the samurai stance stepped on the ground leaving cracks behind as he bellowed;

"Leaf Cutter!"

Schweein!

He slashed his sword in a clean arc towards Dara's stomach looking disembowel him on first contact, but Dara simply fell to his knees and slid beneath the strike;

Sheen!

Dara saw the clear image of his face on the sword as it swept past his face, severing a part of his hair before he then clenched his palm into a fist and acutely threw a simple punch towards the elbow of Kang's hand which was wielding the sword, also looking to incapacitate his opponent at first strike…

Kang saw Dara slide past his offence into his unprotected region, and the moment he saw Dara throw a fist towards his elbow, he blanched in fear before using his free hand to launch a fist strike of his own;

Bam! Bang!

Both their fists slammed into one another as Dara was stopped in his tracks whilst Kang had to retreat about four steps before stabilizing himself with the fifth…

Kang's face then instantly went solemn as he gazed venomously at Dara before commenting;

"I have to hand it to you… That fist strike of yours really carried a level of power that rivals a 3 Star Qi Sea Stage, and considering the fact that you must be barely twelve years old, that in itself is another monstrous feat…"

"If we weren't on opposing sides, I would have loved to have such a talented kid like you as a brother or at least a friend, but it seems the world is about to mourn the loss of another young genius…"

Kang gave a venomous chuckle at the end of his statement before dashing towards Dara who didn't even show any sort of response;

"Branch Breaker!"

This time around, Kang's sword strike wasn't as graceful and floaty as his previous move, instead it came towards Dara looking heavy and forceful as Dara's mind spun at full throttle;

"This attack can't be dodged… It's slower speed means he would be able to easily redirect it even if I manage to evade it…"

Dara thought to himself and instead of advancing, he retreated with a gentle backward float, and just as Kang reached his previous position, Dara's foot abruptly touched the ground before kicking two of the broken chains that were already on the floor, forcing Kang to use his attack to instead defending the onslaught of the incoming heavy chains…
