Elder Jin grits his teeth looking at Tercres cocky smile, then *SIGHS* he sighs and makes a calm expression as he puts his hands behind his back to say " We have made a mistake this time, it seems that you could risk our whole purpose here, so we have to retreat for now "
Elder Guanyu and Elder Rong looked surprised by Elder Jin's words but still, they didn't say anything, they had seen how Tercres stopped Elder Jin's attack and how Tercres managed to hurt him with just one punch ' Elder Jin isn't the kind of person who acts rashly, that means that he isn't sure he can win against that brat, just as the Supreme Elder said we can underestimate these monsters, we committed an error when we attack him first without knowing anything about him ' Elder Rong thought making a serious face looking at Tercres
Chen Kai grits his teeth and clenches his fists then he yells " Don't you think you can get away!! " Then *BANG* he jumped against Elder Jin once more
' Idiot ' Thought Tercres seeing Chen Kai rush against the Elder while Elder Jin turned to see him with a cold expression and said " You don't have nothing to say in this situation brat, you should be grateful for our kindness, but if you want to die so be it "
Chen Kai arrived near Elder Jin and *SWOOSH* he attacked him with his right fist as fast and hard as he could but Elder Jin just moved his head slightly evading Chen Kai's attack, he raised his hand, and just when he was about to attack Chen Kai, Tercres moved and hit Chen kai with his shoulder sending him flying a few meters away, Elder Jin was surprised then Tercres smiled at him and say " I told you, old man, just you and me, you can't leave just yet " Elder Jin frowned with a serious expression and he vanished in a cloud of smoke, Tercres smiled and he as well disappeared
Chen Kai rolled on the ground and when he stopped he shook his head and stoop up as fast as he could " Dammit, what the hell happened? " he turns to see the place where he was before and no one was there then *SWOOSH* " ...?! " Chen Kai bends his head backward evading a sword slash aimed at his head but then *PAM* " Ugh! " He received a kick on the left side of his head that made him fall to the ground
Chen Kai looked at his attackers and noticed Elder Rong and Elder Guanyu, who now had a black sword in his left hand, Elder Guanyu raised his sword and said " Maybe we won't be able to kill the other one, but with you it's different! " Then white smoke covered Elder Guanyu's sword surprising Chen Kai a lot ' Sword intent! ' and *SWOOSH* Elder Guanyu swung from up to down his sword from the distance
Seeing that Chen Kai created two ki spheres in both of his hands and *BOOM* he made them explode in the ground causing a big explosion that forced him to stand and even sent him to fly to the side and then *BOOM* a huge cut appeared in the ground where he was laying before, not only that the cut continued through the forest until it can't be seen, even the barrier suffered a cut that later disappeared when it prepared itself
Chen Kai falls to the ground and looks at the cut that Elder Guanyu made with a nervous expression ' That sword intent it's very dangerous if he hits me with that, I'm done ' He turns to see the two Elders with a serious expression, he noticed that Elder Guanyu raised his sword again but when he was about to strike again *BOOM* a great explosion occurred between him and the Elders
The three of them looked surprised at the explosion then they noticed that the one who caused that was none other than Elder Jin, he was in bad shape, he bleeding from his nose and mouth. Elder Jin looked at the sky with a serious expression and then he vanished from his position in a cloud of smoke, and a second later *BOOM* another explosion occurred in the same position that Elder Jin was in before but this time the one who caused that was Tercres he was grinning slightly as his fist was stuck in the ground " You are fast for an old man, I'm not gonna lie " he said and vanishes from his position
The Elders were amazed at which condition was Elder Jin in, he was struggling against Tercres who looked fine not even tired. Chen Kai took advantage of the elders' confusion and with all his strength *ZOOM* He shot his Spirit Cannon at them, The attack was bigger than any attack that Chen Kai had used before. The Elders saw the attack coming and both of them moved out of the way and then *BOOOM* The Spirit Cannon exploded devastating a huge area of the forest " Uhg! " " Argh! " despite that the elders evaded the attack directly they still received the impact from the huge explosion and both of them were sent flying in different directions
" Ha.. ha.. " Chen Kai pants slightly for the great amount of energy he used in that last attack, still he grits his teeth and moves towards Elder Guanyun's direction ' He is the most dangerous one, I have to kill him now that he is injured ' then Chen Kai frowns and stops seeing the sky with a surprised expression
" ROAR!! " Suddenly through the forest a long translucent blue dragon roared, the dragon was taking down trees as it was heading towards Chen Kai opening its big mouth full of sharp teeth ready to devour him
" Shit! " Said Chen Kai and he jumped back making a very long jump, then " ROAR! " The Dragon changed its direction towards Chen Kai who raised his guard quickly to protect his face but when the Dragon touched him *BOOM* The dragon caused a big explosion that engulfed Chen Kai completely
" Take that you bastard! " Yelled the man who sent the dragon, it was Elder Xuegang who was in the middle of the forest he had his face covered in blood and looked very angered. He searches for Elder Rong and Elder Guanyu who barely get up from Chen Kai's attack " Elder Rong! Elder Guanyu! Are you alright?! " he yelled
" Little bastard " " Yes, but something is wrong " The Elders responded
" I know, the little bastard has become very strong, I couldn't even kill him with my best attack! " Said Elder Xuegang looking in Chen Kai's direction. When the smoke from Elder Xuegang's attack disappeared Chen Kai appeared, his arms were bleeding and were burned like some parts of his clothes and legs, Chen Kai put down his arms as he makes a pained expression
' Agh! I forgot that he was still alive ' Chen Kai thought looking at Elder Xuegang who was looking at him with a serious expression. Chen Kai moves his arms slightly but just by doing it he feels pain ' That last attack was too much I have to take another Senzu Bean ' But then " Ugh! " Chen Kai vomits a mouthful of blood and falls to his knees and a second later *BANG* Tercres falls from the sky a few meters in front of him
" Agh! " Tercres grits his teeth making a pained expression as he grabs his neck with his right hand and supports his body on the ground with the other
" What is happening to them? " Said Elder Rong with a confused expression, he and the other elders were confused, then from the left side of the forest Elder Jin came out with his hands behind his back and his face still bleeding but something weird was happening to him his eyes were green and his skin had turned purple, He approached the three elders who looked at him like he was a ghost then Elder Jin says " They are dying, that's all "
" What?! " The three elders yelled at the same time then they turned to see Tercres and Chen Kai suffering in pain. Elder Jin cleans the blood off his face with his sleeve and says " Thousand Poisons Assimilation "
" A technique that let me control and become poison, not even someone as strong as that brat can survive that " Said Elder Jin with a cold expression
' That's Elder Jin's Thousand Poisons Assimilation, it's the first time I've seen him use it, that means that that brat was stronger than him, and thankfully, he will die for it ' Thought Elder Rong but suddenly
" Haha, nice poison you have there old man it made my eyes cry " Tercres stood from the ground smiling at the 4 Elders who couldn't do anything else but see him in shock and fear
" Impossible... " Whispered Elder Jin ' He shouldn't be able to survive, what is happening? '
Tercres grins slightly at their reactions then he turns to look at Chen Kai right behind him and notices that he is unconscious so he makes a face of surprise ' The poison wasn't that strong, why is he unconscious? ' Then he turns to see the Elders who were still seeing him with nervous expressions ' His progress is worse than I thought if he continues this path he will die, this will be the last time I will help him '
Tercres makes a calm expression and says to the Elders " Maybe we should stop this, right now, I don't have anything against you even if you attacked me, besides your main objective it's unconscious right now, so what do you say? "
The Elders looked at Tercres with amazement but before Elder Guanyu, Elder Rong, and Elder Xuegang could say anything Elder Jin said " I agree "
The three Elders looked at Elder Jin who kept a calm expression yet he was smiling slightly. Tercres smiled at that and said " Good, you can leave and try another day to kill this guy behind me, I will not interfere next time, so don't start a battle against me "
" Then we will leave " Said Elder Jin with a slight bow, then he turned around to walk away but then Tercres said " One more thing, could you leave the artifact behind? "
" What? " Elder Rong, Elder Guanyu, and Elder Xuegang yelled looking at Tercres and then Elder Jin said " Very well, give him the artifact " he looked at Elder Rong who saw him in surprise " But Elder Jin the artifact... " Elder Rong tried to refute but Elder Jin just saw him with a cold expression so he just bowed slightly and walked towards Tercres
Elder Rong was nervous as he walked toward Tercres who was looking at him with an expressionless face. Tercres who was looking at Elder Rong who took out the round metal plate from his space ring, wanted to know how they managed to know he was of the same kin as Chen Kai no one as Fannel said should be able to detect him if he disappears his ki, that's why he was so curious about that artifact
When Elder Rong arrived in front of Tercres and extended the round metal plate towards Tercres who grabbed the artifact with his left hand, then Elder Rong turned around and left, walking towards the other elders " Let's go " Said Elder Jin, and he and the other dissipated in the forest then after a couple of minutes the energy dome that covered them disappeared at which Tercres just smiled, he sees the round metal plate in his hand inspecting every inch on it. the plate had strange carved words around the edges and in the center was some kind of mirror, the mirror shone with different colors when the light of the sun touched it. Tercres made a face of doubt looking at the words and couldn't understand anything it said " What is this? some kind of enchantment? " Tercres shook the artifact a few times and touched the letters carved in it but he couldn't make it work ' How did they use it? '
Tercres tried to make it work a few times more and when he grabbed it with both hands the artifact shone slightly ' It's draining my ki? Does it need energy to work? ' the artifact then shone more intensely making Tercres close his eyes slightly from the intensity then something happened that surprised Tercres " What the hell? " The artifact disintegrated very quickly not leaving Tercres any time to react. The wind brushed away the dust that was once the artifact and left Tercres with a confused expression ' Just what was that artifact? Why do they have something like that? ' Tercres shakes his head slightly ' Forget it, it's not my problem I have reached a bottleneck I have to find a way to break through it, I can't waste my time with investigations from someone else problems '
' The only thing I will do is explain to him everything that happened, then he will make his choice ' Tercres thought as he walked towards Chen Kai
