"What do you want? Are you here to humiliate me again?", he said in angered.
"Chill bro. I just want to asked you about something.", I replied calmly.
"There's nothing to talked about! I'll take my revenge here!", he yelled as he dashed toward me.
"Oh God, here we go again.", I mumble.
David starts to punch me and I was able to dodge it like last, but the strange thing here is that his speed is faster than the previous time we fought. Looks like practicing martial arts has increase his strength. But thats still enough to beat me!
"Whats wrong cousin. Do you still have some broken bones that hasn't recovered yet?", I mocked.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!", David screamed in rage.
Wait, is it just me or did he get faster and stronger every minutes. Things won't be looking good if this fight continues. I need to stop him now.
As he throw a right jab at me, I tried to dodge it..no fucking way. It hit me and it hurts. It actually hurts like hell! What is going on!? I can't get distracted now, I must-.
Before, I could move a muscle, David continuously attacked me and I can barely dodge 40% of it and each time it hit me the pain has increase more and more. What is going on, how can I be this weak? Could it be that this is due to my soul being destroyed and got repaired? If that is the reason then my powers has been reduce more than I thought. If I continue to fight, I might actually died! This is definitely not just because he practice martial arts alone. What happened to him during these past months?
"Hahaha! Suprised? This is the power that is gifted to me by a demon! The only cost is fusing him with me.He said he can grant me powers to defeat you as long as I killed you!", He screamed in a darker voice.
"Cousin....did you actually sold your soul to them? Uncle would be so sad. Its not too late, you could still fight and force him out of your body!", I replied painfully.
"Arghhh! Hahahahaha!", David screamed in a darker voice.
"Its pointless to talk to him now since he is already taken over by the contracted demon in his body.", a familiar voice said.
That voice. Its old man Salamander. He came in just in time. He definitely know a way to turn my cousin back to normal.
"Old man. where are you?", I asked.
"I'm inside you. You dumbass. When I repaired your soul, the amount of powers you gain from Eclipse has been reduce by 99%. That is the reason why you are so weak."
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner!"
"You never asked me"
"Damn you old man! Anyway this is not important now. How do I kill the demon without injuring David?"
"What stage of cultivation are you at right now?"
"Yin Qi-Capturing realm 10th layer. Shouldn't you already know this since we shared a body?"
"I was asleep the whole time until you get fucked up a few minutes ago."
Old man, I swear to god I'll slaughter you later, but now I need to be nice to you so you can teach me how to save my cousin.
"You do realize that I can read your thoughts right?"
Goddamn it, I completely forgot about that.
"Anyway, my handsome other self. Could you please show me how to stop him without harming him?"
"See. That wasn't so hard was it. Since you are at the last layer of Yin Qi-Capturing stage, you could use this chance to breakthrough. Demon contains an amount of Yin Qi inside of them that they got from cultivating. The stronger the demon the more Qi they have in them. Looking at this guy, he's probably at the 1st layer of the Demonic-Core Creation Stage, so the amount of Yin Qi inside him should be enough for you to breakthrough to the 1st stage of Demonic-Core Creation Stage. Let me teach you a new technique. Its call Devil Soul Sealing Fist. This attack technique has two forms in total. Destroy and Seal. First is Destroy, which means you'll destroyed the demon and make it burst into pieces so that the Qi will flow out. Second is Seal, when you see the Qi is release, immediately open your fist and change into an open palm position and imagine sucking the Yin Qi in the air in. Destroy can also be use to kill a demon when they are possessing someone without killing the host, but the host will be in extreme pain for half an hour after the demon is destroy."
"If you are willing to do it then I'll teach it to you."
"There's no other technique left?"
"No"
*clench my fist* "I'll do it".
"Good boy. I'll teach you the technique now. Close your eyes."
Even though my eyes are closed, I could still tell that he's shooting a beam of lights into my heads and within those beams are words and images of the Devil Soul Sealing Fist.
Devil Soul Sealing Fist learnt and memorized. Now time to save my cousin.
When I opened my eyes, David was forming an black-colored energy ball withing his two hands and about to blast at me. In my current stage, there's no way I could dodge this attack. I need to take this head on with Devil Soul Sealing Fist. That will definitely causes some recoil, but it will at least reduce the damage.
As the ball come close to me, I punched it with all my might and the energy ball burst, but it knocked me back. *coughed out blood*. Haha, it hurts, but this is nothing compared to the time my soul was destroyed. Now is my chance. David was preparing another energy ball, but I jumped right infront of him and punch him in the chest with all the strength I had left. I only see a small amount of Qi come out so the demon definitely did some damage, but not enough to destroyed it completely.
I continue to punch him non-stop to the point where my hand was beginning to bleed. It was working since a lot more Yin Qi are coming out, I'm almost done. One more. Just One more.
"WAKE UP COUSIN!", I screamed as I used my remaining strength into this last right hook into his face.
As expected, an immense amount of Yin Qi burst out from David's body. Thats the sign that the demon has been destroyed completely. I immediately open my fist and do the second form.
"Devil Soul Sealing Fist, Second Form: Devil Seal!", I announced as I use my palm to absorbed the Yin Qi.
The amount of the Yin Qi was immense to the point that I feel like my body is about to burst from absorbing it, but if its for saving innocent lives and my love ones then this is nothing! Argh!
All of the Qi was absorbed and we both fell down onto the ground.
David was still in conscious, but he began to screamed in pain. This is probably the side effects that the old man was talking about.
Me, on the other hand was about to collapse due to the injuries I receives, but the positive side is that I was able to breakthrough to Demonic-Core Creation Stage 1st layer.
"You owe me one, cousin....", I mumbled before collapsing.
