Chereads / 12 Hand Asura / Chapter 32 - Stopping With An Arrow

Chapter 32 - Stopping With An Arrow

Listening to Asura Zio realized that he couldn't do much, even though he felt bad of these people, he had nothing to give to them, the food he was carrying was for him and he won't give it to them because he needs it, he doesn't have money to buy stuff as well so he also has to find some work to get some money and buy stuff.

He continued down the path and finally entered the residential part of the city where all commoners live and do business, he looked around and saw many people walking around the road, the shops were selling different kinds of foods, from fruits to pulses, meat to vegetables, everything was being sold here.

People crowded in front of these shops trying to buy stuff for their house while the shopkeepers were busy running around their shop picking up stuff for their customers.

He also saw some guards standing in a formation walking around the area, they seem to be patrolling the area, he also saw pairs of guards around the corner keeping an eye out on citizens so that they don't commit any crime.

Zio was fascinated by this, he has never seen so many people in one place, thousands were walking around minding their own business without even looking at the person who just passed next to them, everyone was so busy with themselves that they didn't bother about their surroundings.

Zio joined the crowd and started to move deeper into the city, as he went deeper into the city he saw more guards patrolling the area, he also noticed a lot of people who were wearing expensive and nice clothes.

It was clear that the richer a person is the better house they can buy and the closer they are to the royal palace.

"Hmm, I expected more advancement in the civilization"

Asura said looking at the massive city, it has been more than three million years since Asura has seen any living being and civilization so seeing the current situation, he could tell that things have advanced but not too much, it was as if the people have adapted to how things were and stuck to it.

Mind that Asura is a demon who has experienced many things, whether the matter is related to time and space itself, he has seen things that wouldn't make sense to even very powerful beings at all, so he can easily tell how much a city or world has advanced just by a glance.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zio asked. From what he sees the city is very advance, it has many things that Zio has never seen before, from different types of flower to fruits, weird devices that are moving, to his this is all too advance but for Asura, it is not, even though he could be the oldest being in this world.

"You will understand when you grow stronger"

He said and stopped talking while letting Zio look around, he would only speak when Zio is confused or something that attracts his attention.

As Zio was looking around he noticed something, he saw a weird man scoping around the area and staring at people, he found this person not trustworthy at all, it was as if he is surrounded by a very annoying aura that stood out from other common people that were around him.

'Why does he feel different?'

Zio asked Asura through his thoughts.

'It's because of the cultivation technique that you are practicing, you will be able to sense people who cultivate as well and depending on their cultivation you will have different reactions to them, like this fellow, he cultivates some kind of unorthodox method which sticks out like a sore thumb to you who is cultivating the best method that was ever created'

Asura said proudly.

'I see"

Asura said and continued to watch this man, soon this man started to move, Zio noticed that he was following a group of rich kids who were walking around the area, the group was filled with three boys and four girls, they all seem to be around 15 to 16 years old just like Zio.

Zio decided to follow this because he remembered something that Asura thought him when he was on top of Mount Asura, after following him for a bit, Zio realized that the man is using some kind of ability to hide from others but to Zio, it was very clear, he could easily see the man.

'Haha, I didn't expect the lizard to have this skill as well'

Asura said while Zio used one of the Dragon's abilities, the ability to see through illusions.

'Of course, I the great dragon of the tempest bloodline is the most superior being'

The dragon boasted about himself and his ability that Zio used to see the man who is hiding from others.

'Shut up lizard'

Asura said and shut him up, the dragon could just cry in innocence as his crime was only bragging about himself, he didn't want to get abused by the demon.

As Zio expected the man was very fishy, as he got closer to the group of young teenagers, he suddenly grabbed a bag that was handing on the waist of a girl in the group and tried to run.

As soon as this happened the girl screamed.

"Thief"

She shouted which alerted everyone in the area, even the guards who were patrolling the area turned around and saw a white bag suddenly disappear in thin air, there were shocked by this, they looked around to find the culprit but they couldn't.

Suddenly they all heard a sound of something traveling very fast, the group of teenager felt the wind around them being split as they saw a blue ray just shoot past them, they followed it through their eyes and saw it stab into a thick metal rod that was supporting a roof.

It looked like the arrow caught something, suddenly a man suddenly became visible as he crashed on the ground, a piece of his robe was caught by the arrow, the arrow caught him before he could escape, the guards who saw this quickly rushed towards the man and captured him when they saw that he was holding the while bag that was just stolen.

Everyone around the area was stunned by everything that just happened, the group of teenagers turned around to the direction from where the arrow came and saw a young teenager standing there with a beautiful blue Religan in his hand, it was clear that he shot the arrow and caught the thief.
