At the time, Joker just come to his senses after gulping those liquids, he raises his body and about to say thank you to Enaila, and it didn't go well.
Just as his mouth opened, god knows who is this person is, falling from the sky like a hero come to rescue, which is impossible since we all know who the hero is.
That person's aura is like a celestial being who entered the mortal world, its aura is concealed to his body and even level fives can't felt it.
This aura is enough to make humans in despair and kneel on the ground if it wasn't concealed, but for Joker.
This aura could be detected miles away, Joker's power is really special and his existence is counted as a living cheat, this guy would make anyone envy, but he, on the other hand, considered his power is a pain in the a*s.
He basically could make his wishes come true with his power alone, in other words, everything is on his palm!
That's great at all, but we should get back to the main topic.
As if there are thousands of Thunder Stone on his back, his pupils shrank and his mouth wide open, one stone is weighed 1250 tons, it's enough to make his body entered the earth as if giants stomping him many times.
His physical body is fine but if he let it happen and doesn't minimize the pressure, his internal organs will be crushed. He immediately gathered the spiritual essences from his stomach, which a moment ago it was a pure spirit's energy, and to make it easy to understand, it was the liquid he just gulped.
It flowed through his body rapidly and refilled his body's spiritual essence, then within seconds, his five senses filled with it.
Without wasting time, he condensed those spiritual essences to the top of his skin like an extra layer of skin to protect him from the person's aura, after that.
He quickly shoves Enaila as that person coming at him, like a missile that was locked their target. Joker can't run away as that person's aura said it all, it set its eyes on him as if have revenge on him from the previous life.
Not only that person's aura is terrifying, but there is also killing intent hiding on it, and it targeted Joker.
Before he shoves her, he said "Sorry." Sorry if he pushes her hard than it needed, sorry if he hurt her in the process, and sorry for getting himself involved.
That person entered Joker's range of vision, his eyebrows are lowered and drawn together to form a 'V' on the lower part of the forehead, just above the nose.
Without a reason, this person wanted to kill him, but for what sake? He never met this person in his entire life, if he did meet him, he didn't make someone mad to the point wanted to kill him.
...
Speaking of making people mad to the point that person wanted to kill him. He pondered a bit and thought of someone, I guess there is. He thought to himself.
Well anyway, Joker is not in the mood to fight after do a double kill, so at least he wanted to rest for a bit but looks like God said.
"You fool! you think I'm kind enough to let you rest?"
Joker formed his black dagger as soon his enemy raises his sword, ashes scattered around, gathering at one spot then turned into a dagger. Joker cloaked his small dagger with spiritual essence to make it more durable, and stronger, as the effect is his dagger looks like black jade, the light from the streetlamp reflected on his dagger.
His opponent is a being that is close to a celestial being, or perhaps it is a one? Both possibilities are troublesome, he cloaked it with some elements just to be safe.
Boom!
Both metals met each other, and this is the first time they met, or rather, this is the first time, a human from the mortal world would be able to parry a celestial being's attack.
This action is worth billions of praises!
Specks of dust fly towards the sky, and the ground forms a huge circular crack, it's deep about three meters.
"Interesting! To think a mortal like you could hold my attack." Voice of a male, and its voice smooth and calm, the type of voice that suitable for a person with a gentle heart and a warm smile, but why this type of person wanted to kill him without a reason?
Joker sends an electric shockwave around his body so this person would make the distance.
"Interesting!" He shouted as he jumped to the air, avoiding the electric current.
Not giving him a chance to rest, the man fixes his balance on the air and leap from the air towards him, Joker's eyes widened saw this.
Judging from his aura, this man is a Cultivator, it is reached the Ninth Stage, Celestial. Cultivators do exist in this world besides magic and esper, though, Cultivators rarely involve the mortal affairs and most of them live in China.
Joker has met few Cultivators because few reasons, due to it he involves in the world of cultivation but he decides not to become one. His power is strong enough and if he wanted to gain more power from cultivation, that power would be useless! His existence is the same as the Seventh Stage Grand Dragon or probably higher.
That's not the only reason, his blood is flowing energy called spiritual essence, while Cultivators need to flow energy called qi and blood, and every time one ascend to another realm, those things upgraded. Those two are completely different things.
Swung his sword to Joker's neck, Joker swiftly dodged it by crouching down, the sword hits nothing and Joker quickly grabs the senior's wrist, the senior can't move his hand as Joker's grip is way stronger than he expected, he has no choice but to lost his balance and fell to Joker due to his wrist pulled by him, he shot upward with his dagger to the senior's chin.
The senior smiled as if having fun, he dodged Joker's dagger by moving his head left and right, avoiding the upcoming attacks, but some attacks successfully hit his skin, but it is not too deep as it only bruised his cheek.
Afterimages were also created as both speeds about to reach the speed of sound and ended when the senior release his wrist from Joker's grip.
Both quickly make some distance, both of their distance is about 45 meters.
"Senior! Why would you attack me? Have I done something to enrage you?"
Everything could not be solved by violence unless that situation is needed.
Joker would be glad if he could stop this meaningless fight as both sides don't gain anything, unless. It wanted something from him without him knowing.
"Little friend, even if I told you what I wanted, you wouldn't give it to me, but if you insisted, then I'll tell you."
It seems this senior wanted something from Joker but what is it? If he has something precious, even a cultivator of the Ninth Stage wanted it, he definitely remembers such an item.
Though, in the last few years, he had a normal life as a middle school kid, and only uses his power when it is needed.
"I wanted something from that girl."
The girl? What that girl has that such a powerful Cultivator searching for her. Joker didn't know anything, and he forgot to ask those two what is their purpose, and when it comes to this, should he back down and let this powerful senior have what it wanted?
No, he can't do that! His pride as a man would heavily be damaged! He already lends her a hand and now he wanted to back down? He must think of another way.
Joker thought that the fight is ceased but the senior disappeared leaving only dust and appeared in front of Joker. Joker a bit startled but quickly parried his attack.
"Senior. What is it this girl had that you wanted her?" He asked cautiously and the senior seems rather surprised.
Not because of his question. It was because he is not a cultivator yet at the same time, his power is the same as those cultivators on Seventh Stage Grand Dragon, or maybe higher but either way, he is holding back.
This somehow decreases the senior's mood by 3000 points, though...
'Is there another power that cultivators haven't realized the existence?' Just thinking the possibility of another power besides cultivation makes him excited, the senior mood improved by 1000 points!
He smiled.
"Little friend, what is your Dao name?" At this point, the senior went back to his original position after determining Joker's power, he also withdraws his sword and gives some room to Joker.
"Dao name? But senior, I'm not a cultivator." He noticed that the senior giving a chance to talk, Joker lay down his weapon but did not lower his guard.
"You know some Daoists, isn't that correct? Then what did they call you?"
'How this senior know? Not that it matters, what should I do?'
His fellow Daoists and seniors call him by his real name, should he tell him his real name instead of dao name and tell him that he doesn't have one? He quickly shook that idea and throw it into the trash.
If he told his dao name, maybe his mood will improve.
But a dao name, if it is possible, he wanted something cool, not something like Stressed by a Mountain of Books.
He grabs his coin out of habit from his pocket and shortly after, he starts to play with it and thinks about his dao name.
If he wanted one, one thing came to mind is that it must be related to his power, and speaking of power, his power is not coming from cultivation but entered the category of espers, it is a power that has something to do with the mind.
Cultivation on the other hand is scientifically impossible to explain, considering this he must avoid cultivation related names and at the same time has one word related to cultivation.
As he thinks, a name appeared on his mind.
"Black Jade of the Rising Sun. You can call me anything you want."
Black Jade is his weapon, a black dagger with a slightly longer blade, which looks like jade and The Rising Sun is another name of his beloved nation of Japan, The Land of the Rising Sun.
"Nice to meet you, Black Jade Of The Rising Sun, my name is Celestial Yan."
Joker's guess is correct, this man is a Ninth Stage Celestial. As soon as Celestial Yan introduced himself, he expects some kind of reaction from Joker but Joker did not make one.
"Nice to meet you, Celestial Yan." He bowed, and his dagger turned into ashes then disappeared into the thin air.
He withdraws his weapon as he knew that a weapon isn't needed at the time. Celestial Yan smiled and said.
"Black Jade of the Rising Sun, may I know your rank?"
Celestial Yan already told his rank and it would be unfair to not tell him his, and again. Joker is not a cultivator so he is not certain what rank he is in the world of cultivation.
If he has to guess, he should be Seventh Stage Grand Dragon. As soon the thought appeared, he lightly nods.
"I'm not sure Senior, but I think my rank is Seventh Stage Grand Dragon."
Celestial Yan laugh heard his answer, Joker dumbfounded, is he say something funny?
"Ehm senior, did I say something wrong?"
"Ahahaha... no, I'm sorry." He paused for a few seconds to calm down, continued. "A Grand Dragon is impossible to parry Celestial attacks, let alone landing one."
Joker stiffened, looks like the senior knew that he, "Grand Dragon Black Jade, you're holding back."
Shiet, spot-on, he must think a way that he is not holding but serious, cause if he can't, Celestial Yan would think that he underestimates him.
"What are you talking about senior? I'm not holding back, it just a lucky hit!"
"Even a lucky hit is impossible, your speed is the same as those who are on at the peak of Eight stage that about to ascend to the next realm, Grand Dragon Black Jade."
The senior's expression changed, from a warm and gentle one to a cold gaze and emotionless, his voice his deep cold when he said.
"Who are you? You are no ordinary being."
