Year 31 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Second line of defense

(Qianxun Alaslamia POV)

A tall dog and a gold rank cultivator stand in front of me.

“GRRRRRR“ Black dog

“I will bring you to your knees“ Gold rank cultivator

The humanoid golden bear spoke.

“Stop this, what will you gain from these actions?“ Qianxun

Hurting people is not my job, so I try to reason with him.

“Trash! No words will save you!“ Gold rank cultivator

He seems to think that I'm begging for my life.

“Your death was already decided when the great Mushu Tung, Lord of the Boundless Baihu City, laid his eyes on this settlement“ Gold rank cultivator

“Why are YOU doing this?“ Qianxun

I repeat myself.

“There is no greater prize that being recognized by the lord, but a commoner like you will never understand it!“ Gold rank cultivator

He is right, I don't understand it.

Was I like him in the days when I lived in a mansion?

I would like to believe that I wasn't.

“You dont...“ Qianxun

“Enough talk!“ Gold rank cultivator

The dog takes a position at a distance of my back.

And they attack together, one from the front and another from the back.

“Die, you trash!“ Gold rank cultivator

“GOUWWW“ Black dog

It seems that the plan is to tackle me from both sides.

“...“ Qianxun

I turn my body so my sides are facing both of them and...

[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]

[GOLD RANK GRADE 1 DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]

Using a fist for each, and I punched their heads as they got in range.

Covering me in blood.

“I really don't like to do this“ Qianxun

Healing people gives me a lot of experience and, for that reason, maybe I should be on the first line.

“...“ Qianxun

But fighting equals killing.

I look at the lifeless body on the ground.

This is not why I opened a clinic, this is not the life I want.

“If everything goes well, this might be the last time I join a battle“ Qianxun

I really hope that is the case.

(Xiaoyan Furukawa POV)

This is the perfect opportunity.

“Ugigi!“ Red monkey

I adjust my headband while two large bags hang from my shoulders.

“I am sorry monkey, You will be testing my new prototypes“ Xiaoyan

I have high expectations in this.

“UGIII!!“ Red monkey

“Tailoring - Manipulator of Thousand Ribbons!“ Xiaoyan

From the large bag hanging on my right shoulder, countless Ribbons come out and some of them lift me off the ground.

“Ugi?“ Red monkey

The monkey looks at me from the ground as I reach twelfth meters in height.

“Come and get me!“ Xiaoyan

The Ribbons starts to move, trying to whip him.

“UGIIIIII!!“ Red monkey

But he dodges them.

Enraged, It starts climbing on one of the ribbons that supports me.

“Bad call“ Xiaoyan

The ribbons starts to wrap the threat.

“...!“ Red monkey

And they cover everything, including the mouth.

“UUUGH!“ Xiaoyan

I try to crush him without results.

We are in a stalemate. Even if I trapped him, I don't have enough strength to hurt him.

“...“ Red monkey

It struggles inside, but no even a sound comes out.

“Just perfect“ Xiaoyan

A situation in which the limits are tested.

“Lets see where it is...“ Xiaoyan

I pull a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves from my left shoulder bag and I switch my current equipment for a new one.

“Sorry to keep you waiting“ Xiaoyan

“...“ Red monkey

“Taste the fruits of my years of effort!“ Xiaoyan

*Crush*

This time the ribbons crush him to death.

[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]

“YEAHHH!“ Xiaoyan

Awesome! Phenomenal! splendid!

“YAAHOOOO!“ Xiaoyan

This is the start of something bigger than me!

The beginning of something that will transcend place and time!
