The Rise Of The Destoyer

Chapter 10

"Hahaha. You’re also not a patient person after all!" The bird spewed fire from its mouth when it saw Han Nian had swung his sword toward it. Wosh! A large fire quickly approached, but the young man split it and let his body continue to approach to reach the position of that bird which was quite high. 'Damn! It chose to go even higher!' Han Nian tried to send an energy attack to reach it, but the bird moved nimbly to dodge. The young man kept slashing the fireballs that came at him. Now he felt the heat from that fire, unlike before when for some reason it didn’t feel hot, but that only worked for a moment and then it was cold again. As if there was a neutralizer in his body.

"Stupid bird, come down quickly. If not, I’ll make you into a roasted bird!"

"Haha, you’re the stupid one. I am a fire controller. It’s impossible to be burned by any fire!"

"Are you sure!?"

"Very sure!"

"Alright. Sky Fire, appear!" The soul fire from his teacher was named by Han Nian as Sky Fire. Buzz! A bright blue color blazed in Han Nian’s palm.

"If you don’t want to come down, I’m sure this fire can burn you!" The bird lowered its wings. It recognized the form of that fire. It was a fire that originated from the nirvana realm, and within that fire were condensed the memories of the gods and various techniques that could turn it into ash. The best fire that was ranked number one, which could be a neutralizer, and could be dominant.

"Where did you get that fire!?" The bird transformed into a very beautiful woman with beautiful red clothes, fresh white skin that was tempting. Anyone would fall in love when looking at her. But it seemed that didn’t apply to Han Nian. The woman stared at Han Nian while narrowing her eyes and making a movement that would make men stand up a little. But again, that didn’t affect him.

"Do you want to die?" said Han Nian a bit cruelly.

"Your words are quite cruel, but you’re underestimating me too much. I’m not afraid of you, I’m just a little confused why this best fire can be in your hands? I will release it soon. We will meet again later!" The woman said and immediately waved her hand. The next second, Han Nian returned to the original place, where he was in the cave that was about to collapse, and in his hand was a sword that had already been pulled from the stone.

For some reason? That thing didn’t cross the young man’s mind at all. But what he had to think about now was getting out of the cave, before being buried alive in there.

Boom! The cave collapsed completely. The tall mountain peak slowly crumbled and slumped into a low small hill. One figure had dashed quickly to avoid the rubble that wanted to trap him. He shot out without being seen by anyone.

"It seems he didn’t make it out, Young Master!" said Hong Jandi. He slightly regretted the young man’s decision to insist on taking the sword. Maybe it was a heirloom, but what use was it if the heirloom led oneself to death. Same with Hong Ba and also Hong Gui, they also regretted that a talented person had to be buried in the rubble.

"I’m sure he will survive!" Only Hong Lao believed such a thing.

"It seems we must leave this place and return to the city!" said Hong Jandi again. He then called to the others to depart.

When everyone turned away, they seemed to be tricked by the young man who was thought to have died buried in the cave. In reality, that person was so relaxed sitting on a stone with his legs dangling and leaning on the tree behind him.

"You survived, Nian. I knew you wouldn’t die that easily!" said Hong Lao while leaping closer. "Come with me to the city!" he said again.

The Hong family’s ship sailed quickly on the open sea. In one of the rooms, Hong Lao gave clothes to Han Nian. The young man did not refuse. He was happy to receive good clothes. Even though in the past he also often wore clothes made of silk. However, that was a past that would never be shared with anyone. Let him keep that knowledge and not expose his understanding too much so he wouldn’t be suspected of coming from a well-off background before.

"Thank you, Brother Lao. I’m very grateful to be given clothes and several items you use. I will replace them later in the city when I can buy them," said Han Nian while smiling. The young man stood in front of a mirror. And his messy hair had been cleaned and looked very neat when tied and made into a ponytail.

"Good that you like those clothes. Those are new clothes that have never been worn before. I always prepare sets when traveling. Don’t think about replacing them, because I give them sincerely. As brothers, I hope you don’t think about that!"

"Alright.. I won’t think about it anymore. How long will it take for this big ship to arrive at the harbor?"

"One day. If we depart when the sun sets like this, then it will be a little slower, because at night the lighting is a little lacking and sometimes the wind will blow harder which causes opposing currents. We can’t fight it, because the ship will be destroyed if that happens!"

"I don’t really understand about ships. You said you’re from Black Stone City. Which province is that city in?" Hong Lao took out a scroll from his storage ring. "This is a map of the Long Empire. You can keep it and study it." He opened it slightly and pointed at a spot. "Here is roughly where we are now and we will head to this place. The harbor itself is part of Black Stone City." Hong Lao kept explaining what Han Nian asked without the slightest suspicion.

"It’s late. I shouldn’t disturb you anymore. Use this room as you like!" Hong Lao stood and lightly patted Han Nian’s shoulder, then he turned toward the door.

Meanwhile, Han Nian sat cross-legged and cultivated, absorbing the natural energy available until morning came to greet.

"Young Master!" A servant knocked on the door of the room occupied by Han Nian. The young man opened his eyes and immediately stood up to go to the door, then pulled the handle.

"Sir has been awaited by Young Master Hong Lao at the dining table!" said the servant. He was momentarily stunned by Han Nian’s handsomeness, so he didn’t move from his place.

"What are you going to do there?" Han Nian asked when he had already passed the motionless servant. Feeling that he was the one being asked, the servant just stayed silent and cursed inwardly. "He’s so handsome, damn! Even though before he was so messy!"

Han Nian walked accompanied by the previous servant. The servant escorted Han Nian to the dining room in that large ship.

"Let’s eat, my brother. This is the level-three wolf meat from yesterday. The chef on this ship has cooked it with delicious curry spices. I’m sure you’ll get addicted once you taste the deliciousness. The tongue indeed can’t lie!" said Hong Lao while smiling, praising the chef who stood beside him…
