The Rise Of The Destoyer

Chapter 6

Everyone there in the travel group stared fearfully at the beast being fought by the three elders. They did not expect this journey to be so difficult and even have to face a situation like this. Hong Lao felt guilty about the decision to kill the snake’s child earlier, but everything had already happened. Sometimes decisions made without thinking indeed end up causing regret. However, that is a life lesson, and how later someone can think more maturely and wisely in acting. Every individual will experience such a feeling, without exception. That is indeed fate.

Back to the battle.

Seeing those three elders struggling, Han Nian decided to help. If the snake were not injured, he was not sure he could fight it, but now it was better. His confidence was quite high in killing a beast at the Earth Realm level.

Swoosh! His leap was quite far, with the sword already drawn from its sheath. He used the Lightning Sword Dance that was in the memory of the soul fire. That high-level fighting technique had to rely on movement speed and solid physical strength to match it. And that was possessed by Han Nian, who was basically already very agile. Thanks to physical training without a teacher, he managed to refine his body with strength at the level of the Energy Core Realm. Meaning if he fought an Energy Core Realm cultivator, he could still win, even without releasing his middle-stage Earth Realm power.

Sret! Sret! Sret! Three super-fast slashes were released by Han Nian, but the three elders and several people in the Hong Clan group only saw a single swing, perhaps because the speed of the slashes could not be followed by ordinary eyes. Han Nian added more to his attack. Before descending from that height. He released a certain amount of power from the natural energy produced by his body.

"Lightning Bolt!" When that attack directly hit the snake’s head, it exploded at once. The snake fell headless before the three elders. Han Nian landed perfectly with a little dust rising.

"Greetings, sir. Thank you very much because you have saved us!" Hong Jandi immediately gave a greeting by bowing, and did not forget to cup both hands while smiling. Han Nian looked at the elder who, according to him, was very polite. It was rare to find a figure like that in this cruel world.

"It’s no problem. I was just passing by! And only finishing what you all had already done. If not, how could I defeat that huge snake so easily?" After speaking, the young man left. However, a voice stopped his steps.

"Where are you headed!?" Hong Lao approached. They were both young, maybe the same age, but he felt a little pressured by the greatness of the person in front of him. Hong Lao felt very much a genius in the clan, and that was indeed true. No one his age could defeat him in battle. But again, that was limited to his clan only. That clearly made him confident. But now.

"Hah!" A heavy breath was released by him. "I want to go to the city!" Han Nian answered frankly. "But I don’t know the way there!" Hong Lao furrowed his brow, and so did the others. This young man didn’t know the way to the city, but wanted to go to the city.

"I can take you to the city, but can you come with us to search for treasure?"

"Young Master! Is this alright?" Hong Ba was a little worried. Because it was possible the young man in front of them would have bad intentions later.

Hong Lao raised his hand then said, "He is our benefactor. I have no problem sharing the results with him." Hong Lao got closer and extended his hand. "My name is Lao, my surname is Hong. Glad to meet a great person!" Even though Hong Lao could not see or feel the vibration of inner energy in that young man’s body, he could be certain the young man was far above him. Indeed, he was not wrong. In Han Nian’s body there was indeed no trace of cultivation or inner energy, because his energy center had been destroyed. What existed was the soul fire that created a second dantian with a super large capacity exceeding the first dantian that had been destroyed, and which was now the dwelling place of that fire.

"I’m Nian, I have no surname, an orphan stranded on this island!" the young man answered quite concisely and clearly. "Is it okay if I join? Aren’t you afraid?" Han Nian asked a question while looking at Hong Lao. Of course he had no problem whether invited or not—he could still follow from a distance. With his presence unable to be felt, that made the impossible become possible.

"Of course I have no problem. Being friends with someone like you is an honor for our Hong Clan!" Hong Ba wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Hong Jandi who held his hand. "Just let it be. Maybe this is a pretty good decision. The three of us are also injured!"

"Haih… whatever, hopefully he’s not someone with bad intentions!"

"Judging from his face, he doesn’t look like a bad person!" Hong Jandi replied while walking following Hong Lao.

"Who knows a person’s heart!" said Hong Ba again. Then he waved his hand to the other members to follow.

"Actually, what is Young Master Hong going to look for! I mean, what kind of treasure?" Han Nian asked curiously.

"This is very valuable information. It’s said that on this island there is a hidden treasure. Our clan indeed likes hunting for treasures. Besides that, we also sell several items at the Peacock Pavilion. In the form of weapons or artifacts. We obtained those from looting ancient tombs, mystery realms, and also uninhabited islands. We also often exchange information with other people that can be sold!" The young master spoke quite fluently and was easy to get along with, even though they had just met.

"Good information. But it seems there are still beasts more ferocious than before. How will you handle them?"

"If it weren’t for the previous snake’s skin being very hard, maybe one person from the three elders could have easily defeated it. It’s just that, well, as you saw earlier. That hard skin was to its advantage!"

"That’s true!" They arrived at the place indicated on the map. Hong Gui, who was holding the map, immediately shouted, "We’ve arrived. Find the lever around this area. I’m sure the area we’re standing on could be the entrance."

All the members brought searched based on Hong Gui’s order. Including Hong Ba and Jandi. Only Hong Lao and Han Nian were sitting in the shade under a tree.

"No need for us to join the search! Because this is their task."

"Of course. I’ll go urinate first. You wait here!"

"Don’t go too far. I’m afraid someone might kidnap you later."

Han Nian only smiled hearing such a low-class joke
