A man U-ri had never met leaked the information that he and his friends had tried their best to keep as a secret, which shocked U-ri and sent shivers down U-ri's spine. Cold sweat was streaming down U-ri forehead. If U-ri looked in the mirror now, U-ri was sure that his complexion would turn pale.
U-ri didn't understand how the man standing in front of him could know such a secret. They haven't met many friends since embarking on this unknown adventure. Except for Baishui, Lixin and Lixin's men, U-ri could not think of anyone who knew that U-ri and others had the intention of entering No Man's Land and had two of the five keys. U-ri knew that this couldn't be Baishui because he left Magior City with his family, so the other people who knew their intention to enter No Man's Land was Lixin and his men.
Since the man was standing very close to U-ri, and U-ri wanted to make sure that the man behind the cloth mask was not Lixin, U-ri quickly reached out and pulled the mask off the man's face. After taking a look at the man's face, he knew now that the man standing in front of him was not Lixin.
U-ri's actions angered the man, and the man hit U-ri on the abdomen with all his strength, causing U-ri to fall to the ground.
Because U-ri only caught a glimpse and couldn't remember the man's face, he looked up at the man again, but the man had already put the cloth mask back on. "You are not Lord Lixin, nor one of his men." U-ri snorted in pain and slowly stood up, holding his abdomen. "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am," the young man said, waving to his men. "Men... tied him up."
Two men in black walked forward toward U-ri, but it was Abrafo who jumped out of the darkness and kicked the two men to the ground. Abrafo landed in front of U-ri.
Abrafo asked, "U-ri... Are you alright?"
U-ri said, "You came at the right time." U-ri slowly retreated towards the black panther standing behind Abrafo.
Abrafo looked at the two people on the ground wildly. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to bully old man, I will break your legs."
One of the men whispered, "My...my...my Lord, the beast... the beast..."
The man annoyingly said to his men, "I'm not afraid, why are you afraid?"
Although the young man tried his best to show his bravery, at the same time, the young man and others slowly backed away because they saw the big black panther staring at them with its big yellow eyes.
Abrafo said, "Stay behind, I don't need your help to deal with these minions."
U-ri quickly jumped on the black panther's back, and the black panther slowly moved away from Abrafo and the six men in black.
The young man suddenly became angry when Abrafo called him a minion. He stepped forward, but his men grabbed his arms. He forcefully pulled his arms out of the two's grasp and said angrily, "Minions? How dare you address me in such a way?"
Abrafo scoffed, "Oh, should I use a different name?" Abrafo knew the person standing in front of him was a man, but he continued to insult the man. "Oh, if you don't like the title minion then... what about eunuch... or... let me think about it for a bit. Um..."
The man gritted his teeth, "You...you..." His hand trembled with anger and he reached for the spear.
Abrafo said, "Or 'my lady'...ah...I think 'my lady' is the most appropriate name to address you by. That's right, my lady..." Abrafo laughed, loudly, his laughter echoed into the night.
The man gasped angrily through his nostrils, then realized that Abrafo was engaging in a verbal spat with him, and sighed and changed his tone. He smiled and said, "I want to see if this minion's fighting ability is as good as his mouth."
Abrafo smiled and said, "My mouth is not only good at words. My mouth is also good at other things, such as..." Abrafo lowered his eyes and looked at the man's crotch.
The young man smiled and said, "Oh, let's begin, shall we?"
The young man grabbed the spear from the man next to him and stabbed Abrafo. Abrafo, quickly pulled the sword out of the scabbard on his back and swung it at the young man.
The young man attack Abrafo legs and head, but the young man's skills were unpredictable, and it was difficult for Abrafo to avoid being stabbed. Abrafo knew that if he would win this fight, he had to employ some tricks and not prolong the fight.
Abrafo teased, "Oh, this lady has great fighting skills, but can I defeat her tonight and take her to bed?" He swung his sword and aimed at the young man's throat.
The young man quickly slapped Abrafo's sword away, do a single somersault over Abrafo, turned around and stabbed Abrafo's back with his spear. Abrafo turned to face the young man and kicked the young man's spear away with his left foot.
The young man rushed forward and unleashed multiple combos on Abrafo. While attacking Abrafo, the young man said coquettishly, "You moved really fast and avoided being stabbed by my spear. I want to know...if your waist movements on the bed were just as fast." He waved his spear and swung his spear to hit Abrafo's right side. Abrafo did a side cartwheel to his right to avoid being hit. As soon as Abrafo landed, the young man sprinted towards Abrafo again.
The young man thrust his sword at Abrafo's throat, and Abrafo grabbed the socket of the young man's spear. Abrafo being Abrafo, he smiled triumphantly at the young man and said, "If you want to know how fast my waist can move in bed, you must try it to find out."
Watching the two people fighting, flying around like the peacocks dance he saw the night before, U-ri become annoyed, so he shouted, "Stop flirting, and end the fight quickly."
The young man stared at Abrafo and said with a flirtatious tone, "Alright, let's take you back and see how fast and strong your waist is."
The young man twisted the metal cover at the end of the shaft, and the wings stretched out from the socket. Abrafo quickly released his hand, spun three times and hit the young man. The young man blocked Abrafo's attacks, but Abrafo's strength was strong enough. With each blow, the young man took two steps back.
After blocking Abrafo's third blow, the young man flew over Abrafo and heading straight at U-ri on the black panther. Just when the young man was an arm's length away from U-ri, the black panther's tail smashed forward at the young man. He raised his left arm to block the black panther's tail attack. The power of the black panther's tail caused him to fall from the air to the ground and continue to slide towards Abrafo.
Abrafo turned quickly and punched the young man in the stomach, causing the young man to fly several yards away and lie at the feet of his men, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"My Lord!" The five people said in unison, and quickly bent down to help the young man up.
Abrafo put the sword back into the scabbard on his back, sneered at the young man, and said in a mocking tone, "I guess your bed will be empty tonight. Tsk...tsk...it's a pity...you are a man. If you were a woman, I would crawl into your bed without hesitation, and without your invitation."
The young man coughed, his lips quivering, his voice shaking with rage, the injuries he has received from Abrafo and the black panther making it difficult to breathe. "You..." He felt dizzy and was unsteady on his feet. Abrafo's continuous verbal attacks angered him further, and the line of his limitation could only take in so much. He had too many swear words that he wanted to yell at Abrafo, but when he opened his mouth to say swear words to Abrafo, his anger became more intense, and he fainted in the arms of his subordinates.
"My Lord," the men shouted, trying to wake the man. "My Lord."
Abrafo looked at the five people and said, "Who is your lord? Why did he kidnap U-ri? You'd better tell me now, otherwise I will kill all of you, including your fainted master."
The men looked at each other. Then, the two men each grabbed a bag from their waists and threw the two bags at Abrafo. Abrafo quickly pulled out his sword and cut the two bags open. White powder fell on Abrafo like rain. Abrafo quickly retreated, and the men grabbed the fainted young man on the horse, and then they fled into the night with the horse.
Abrafo said angrily, "You bastards. This had better not be poison; otherwise even if you run to the end of the world, I will find and kill you before I die from your poison." He coughed, sheathed his sword back to the scabbard on his back, dusted the powder off his face and clothes.
"There's no need to chase them," U-ri said. "Let's go back to meet the others."
Abrafo said, "Why? We could catch him, starve him for a few days and then let him go."
U-ri said, "We have bigger problems than chasing thieves."
Abrafo walked back to the panther and jumped on the panther's back. Abrafo patted the panther gently and said, "Let's go find your master." The panther then rushed back to the burning house that could be seen miles away.
