The sound of loud thumping interrupted Ryuk. Ryuk waved his hands methodically and the qi that seemed to continuously move in his body around cycled back into his dantian. He stood up with a pleased expression on his face, but the rich aura of death emitting from the enchanced understanding in the law of death made him look evil.
Ryuk was a few feet away from the door, but the aroma of wine had penetrated into his nose making him already feel stuffy. He moved away thinking that this situation would most likely not be good and this sense was further acknowledged by the death aura within him swaying madly and furiously. Not waiting any longer a tight powerful punch slammed the door off its hinges. A man with large holes all over his face came in. The swaying of his body alongside the speed of him would make people believe he was some exotic dancer bred to dazzle the naive bunch. The golden hair of the hole covered man was a tone darker than Xin Feng or Xin Lins the impurities in the blood could clearly be seen. His thick body seemed to explode out of his cheap robes. The man in front of Ryuk was a branch family member named Daniel because of the impurities present in his blood he wasnt allowed the Xin name at all, but his talent in cultivation surpassed all the practitioners present in the Xin family. Perhaps it was for the respect and love of his family or perhaps it was fate, but Daniel even with his rare talent decided to work for the Xin family like a dog. Now that they were planning on using him to kill Ryuk so they could remove their final loose end and if someone ever asked about this boys death they could simply blame Daniel. The reason they still reserved their direct hand in the matter was that Ryuk was still a condensation 1 cultivator and if the empire found a rare talent killed like that they would be furious. The Bull empire having received information of Ryuk planned to enlist Ryuk into the military, but their plans were delayed or forgotten for long periods of time leaving Ryuk stuck in Green Doe village, but that didnt mean they didnt desire Ryuk they just had bigger things or people to deal with.
Daniel looked at Ryuks ugly face and said arrogantly, "After I broke that stupid face of your I thought I could meet some babe and make her my wife. *Hiccup*, but no one will! You must have cursed them or something you little demon. Your father here is here to demand Justice for my sorrows." The seed of hatred had already existed within Daniels head as even though women loved powerful with Daniels ugly face there was limit to what his status as a condensation 3 cultivator could do, furthermore Daniels heart wasnt the least bit good, but the Xin family watered the seed of anger within Daniel by using their prettiest descendant to flirt and compel Daniel and today the inner Demon within Daniel finally let loose. Ryuk looked blankly at Daniel cursing in his head 'You bastard you are going to get both of our heads chopped off. You dumb piece of shit.' Ryuk suddenly noticed the loud vocals filling the valley and his ears. He cursed even more 'so thats how it is eh? Your gonna make me a stuck pig.' The Xin family didnt want other families to use this chance they had become a misfortune. They knew that if the Xin family did anything extra than what the other families did the other families would band together and dispell them furthermore with their pride from kicking away the governor it would be even more extreme and unstoppable.
Ryuk moved a few steps back silently, but each step back Daniel would take a step forward. ' Fuck. Even drunk this guy's martial prowess still exists. He's keeping me right in his range.' Ryuk analyzed, but this observation didnt stop Ryuk he took more steps back and then he took a small knife and a broken sword. He held the broken sword up pointing at Daniel and he the small knife he kept it in his robe hidden.
Daniel smirked viciously the drunk stupor made him seem more beastly. He stepped forward with immense gusto and thrust his calloused fist straight towards Ryuks chest. Ryuk focused his concentration and swiped the broken blade in a unnatural way and the energy within the fist slowly dissipated, but the pure physical strength behind the punch was able to hurl Ryuk back. Ryuk had a warm feeling explode out of the place where he was punched it wasnt a good warm feeling. Even though Ryuk wasnt at an advantage he couldnt help, but smile cruelly. Unlike the fight with the bunny which was like an ant going against an overlord this fight was a battle between two similarly matched foes how could Ryuk not feel like blood boil excitedly. Furthermore Ryuk had always loved to kill and this was the first time he had a chance to kill a human. Perhaps Ryuk was a psychopath, but he was simply born that way.
