Ethan rides on his staff and begins to return to the den just a couple of minutes he arrives there.
''Thank you for keeping her safe''
The leader of the crystal lions nodded his head and started to guard with Pyr they knew Ethan was about to fully cure the little girl's body.
Rustle!
Ethan's black flames started to burn and condense the seven-palm grass turning into a greenish liquid floating slowly.
Hum!
A large amount of vital essence qi came out of the seven-palm grass making the cubs excited but sadly no matter how hard they tried they couldn't absorb a single ounce of it.
''It looks as if the entire den of crystal lions became his elixir furnace''
Pyr looked around feeling nostalgic but his senses only became sharper not letting his guard down.
Ethan controlled his flames and like a small vacuum the vital essence qi on the surroundings gathered back to the liquefied seven-palm grass at this critical moment he threw a small petal directly mixing it with the seven-palm grass.
Whoosh!
A green liquid poured into the small bottle in his hand Ethan inspected it seeing no defects he gently went to the unconscious girl on the ground.
''This should help you out''
Pouring it in her mouth the color on her body returned slowly and Ethan was quite surprised to see she even advanced.
''Did the medicine I make her advance or she is just talented''
Ethan looks at the green liquid in the bottle before storing it in his storage ring.
''Damn it!''
Jericho slams his fist on the tree shattering it to pieces.
''I shouldn't have let those two take Abigail's body''
After kidnapping Abigail they poisoned her to death until his younger brother Dion wanted to take his lust to her causing all this trouble.
''I have sense that my poison already died out in her body we must find her now''
He hurriedly dispatches all his followers searching the entire forest but only finds that only three of his followers come back alive.
He roared furiously and went to search with his remaining men.
''Don't move yet your strength hasn't returned completely''
Ethan slowly helps the little girl to sit up.
''Are you one of my father's men''
the little girl asked.
Ethan shook his head and then moved his hand to check the girl's health.
''I am only a traveller who happens to pass by''
''I don't think a traveller could easily remove the poison inside my body even if I couldn't do anything to remove it''
Ethan only shakes his head and looks at the crystal lions while saying,
''You should thank them as well since these crystal lions look after you''
The girl shifted her gaze and was a bit shocked knowing this beast helped her.
''Thank you so much for looking after me''
Ruff
Small cute cubs came to her brushing off their small heads looking extremely cute.
The girl couldn't help but touch them and begin to pet them.
''May I ask your name?''
Ethan asked while also hugging one of the cute cubs.
''Oh my name is Abigail Fa I'm the daughter of Fa Killian Lord of Bright City''
Ethan looks at her while slowly feeding the cubs in front of him.
''So you the missing princess everyone was talking about so what happened how did they capture you''
''I was training inside the City Lord's training ground suddenly someone knocked me on the ground and when I woke up I was already dying from poison''
Ethan went silent for a moment before answering.
''I see then please stay here I'll take care of them''
Ethan stood up and put the cub down he let Pyr stay behind to guard her up then he vanished.
''Now shall I hunt them down''
He travels the forest faster than before teleporting to the tree's shadows to the other.
He kept travelling until he saw three men with identical tattoos on their wrists.
''Hmmnn.. looking back from my fight before those two monkeys did have the same tattoo as them''
Ethan remains inside the tree's shadow listening to their conversation.
''Do you think that Abigail might have the ability to kill Fido and Dion''
''That's impossible since we use a level 7 poison to kill her and don't forget the fact that Dion and Fido are both stronger than her''
''Arg!''
The both of them looked behind and saw their comrade fall on the ground but didn't see the one who killed him this made them vigilant.
''Show yourself, you, coward!''
They frantically look around until Ethan whispers to them.
''You better watch your necks, fellas''
Slash!
Blood sprang from their necks but they still tried their best to attack.
''They can still move even after I wound their necks'' he thought.
He saw his enemies being covered with red flame making their injuries disappear.
''Blood flame technique they are from the bloody gate guild''
The blood flame technique is a technique that burns the blood of the user to use as fuel giving them extreme strength and power.
''Burning their blood to heal their injuries is not bad''
The cultivators dash towards Ethan with great speed using their flames against him.
Bang
Shock filled their face when Ethan held both of their fists looking like he was not affected by their flames.
''To weak''
Dark flames appear in his palms spreading to his enemy's arms.
''What the heck is this!''
Shock filled them as Ethan's flames started to burn them alive.
''That feeling I had before that same feeling of lust to devour I finally realized what it was''
He turns into a shadow disappearing again then he appears beside his enemies his pitch-black flame ignites in his fist.
''This is the second flame, devouring flame the ability to burn and devoured other flames''
His flame turns into a dagger finally finishing his enemy.
''Three down more to go''
He turns into a shadow again and continues his hunt until he ends up killing every single Blood Gate member he sees.
''Eh?''
Feeling a sudden chill Ethan vanished from his position and ended up in the sky.
''I see so you guys are the only remaining ones''
Ethan smiled looking at the four men on the ground.
''This guy's skill is good'' Ethan thought as he looked at the tree he standing a moment ago turned into a pile of liquid.
He floated by standing on his staff until he saw a large ball of fire coming towards him.
''Hmmnn the other guy is right below me his also preparing to attack''
Ethan only stayed still and let the giant fire hit him.
Hum...
The red fire suddenly turned into black fire and became even larger.
''Now mister let's see how you deal with this''
Holding the giant fireball Ethan throws it to the position on the one below him.
From below Ethan saw that the man on the ground released an even bigger fireball than him.
''Man he's stupid...oh it seems like his friends are getting impatient''
The three cultivators on the ground dash towards Ethan revealing their weapons.
Like an agile bird, Ethan dodges their attacks and uses his black flame dagger to slash them down.
''Ah!''
They cried as Ethan's black flame burned and devoured the red flame in their bodies.
Falling on the ground their bodies made small craters Ethan on the other hand released some wind arrows to finally kill them.
''They still alive even after getting toasted and thrown on the ground''
Bang!
Ethan's attention shifted as his gaze returned to the one below him. Looking at the huge crater on the ground he found no trace of his enemy.
''He escaped''
Ethan closed his eyes to sense the breath of every living creature in the vicinity. From the crawling insects to the large beast Ethan felt them all.
Not finding his prey Ethan turned into a shadow and began to teleport from one place to another after that he would try to sense the breath of the creatures in that vicinity.
''Found him''
500 meters away from him, someone desperately tries to escape.
''Ha...ha...what on earth happened there?''
Jericho ran as fast as he could half of his body had been burned by the attack.
He saw that when his giant flame collided with Ethan's flame it suddenly merged directly smashing towards him.
''Mister where are you going''
Ethan appears right in front of him giving him a mischievous smile.
''You!...''
Jericho's body turns red and suddenly grows bigger.
He looks at Ethan and suddenly punches him.
''What the!?''
Ethan raised his staff to guard but he was sent flying by Jericho's strength.
Before he could even react Jericho was already in front of him driving his fist towards him again.
Bam!
A small crater was created by his strength he looked at the ground and realized that Ethan had disappeared.
''I'm behind you''
Jericho looked behind him and saw nothing when he turned his head again a fist appeared before him sending him flying towards a tree.
Ethan slowly appears from the shadows gathering a lot of wind in his staff.
Strong wind gathered up and bound Jericho on the ground Ethan looked at him and increased his bind even more.
''Now let me ask you who ordered you guys to kill her''
