Kenji eyes widened in horror as the claws appeared in front of his eyes less than three centimeter from blasting his head off. It always made him wonder what one will think of at the last seconds of their death. All Kenji felt was horror, but as the claws moved closer they slowly faded away into peace.
The memories of his life flashed before his eyes as he thought of his grumpy clan who wanted to force him into blacksmithing, something he found extremely boring. His opinion and dreams of becoming an expert wasn't welcomed by them, so he left.
But he eventually found one. One who thought his crazy dream was a good one. One who finally thought well of his dream, but even he was gone. He didn't blame him though. How was it his fault, it's just their bad luck and his own weakness. He could have been well also at the Middle Star rank stage but due to his laziness, he never took cultivation seriously.
The claw was only less than three inch as Kenji slowly closed his eyes accepting his death but his eyes immediately snapped open as they dilated to the highest speed in shock.
"CLAAAAAAAAAAAAANG"
A towering figure appeared in front of Kenji at the last second as his katana slashed forward with horrifying speed stopping the claw dead on as both of them were immediately sent flying in the next second.
Lucian felt horrifying amount of force passed into his hands making all his veins appear while his eyes bulged as he felt himself tearing through the air backwards.
His body slammed into Kenji behind him as they both rolled away before coming to a stop by slamming their back on a huge tree.
Blood spilled out from his mouth in the next second as he stared at Kenji who he was sitting on with a bloody smile.
"Have anyone ever told you, you're a good cushion before.?" Lucian said as he slowly stood up and picked up his katana.
"Luc..Lucian?" Kenji asked tears spilling out from his eyes.
"You came..."
"Off course, I came. How can I abandon my own brother to becoming a Night werewolf dumpling." Lucian asked with bloody smile.
"Now, there's one thing I need you to do brother..."
"What..what is that"
"Run and avenge me, by killing all Night Werewolf that exists in Azure Dragon province." Lucian said bursting forward with speed as he collided with the distance wolf in the next second causing a violent circular explosion that rippled through the entire forest.
Kenji looked at the back that slowly faded away as the tears spilled out ten times harder. He knew the possibility of survimg was less than zero. But he made a sacrifice for him to survive.
"I promise you brother, I'll fulfill your last wish..." Kenji said as he immediately stood up from the ground and ran with his fastest speed towards the Divine Battle Sect.
Today he felt the feeling of being weak and helpless. A feeling not many understood but those who really do, understand.
The notorious Young master Kenji today had a new dream and a new resolve, to grow strong, stronger than anything in the Azure Dragon province.

Lucian slowly retreated ten steps backwards, every step of his creating footprints on the ground as he felt horrifying amount of force passing through his body.
The night werewolf retreated only three steps showing the difference in strength although it was still shocked senseless by the result that such a weakling can push him back.
The duo didn't attack in the next second as the Werewolf looked at Lucian strangely, his face morphed in confusion as it wondered why?.
Lucian looked at the monster who was towering almost a metre above him as he saw the confused expression on its face before giving out a broken chuckle which soon turned to a loud laugh.
"You're probably thinking I'm stupid for making such a decision. I think it is. But I'm already tired, I'm tired of running, I'm tired...of losing it all." Lucian said as he placed his sword horizontally beside him his muscles stretched taut within him, while his heart beat violently making blood course through his entire body.
"But you'll be a fool if you think I'm tired of life. No, I don't plan on dying here. I have my goals. So I'm sorry I can't die, at least not yet.."
Lucian said as he shut his eyes closed and instead use the waves he learnt from the Phantom creeper to 'see'.
A mocking smile appeared on the wolf's face as he stared at the weakling in front of him. It, dying to a kid with no sign of cultivation. That was probably the funniest joke it ever heard.
But it too will take this fight seriously and show the fool what absolute strength meant.
It's eyes narrowed into slits,. it's eyes flashing a deep crimson colour while all it's fur stood on their end becoming pointed and sharp. It's three centimeter claw gree to five centimeters as a loud Howl pierced into the sky.
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOWL"
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR"
Two loud roar pierced through the forest one showing it might to the world while the other show it's undying will to fight to the death.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP"
"SHRIIIIIIIIIIIIG"
The air was immediately blown away as a claw violently passed through the air ripping it away while a katana also slashed forward with speed as they both collided together shaking the forest in power.
One fought to break through it's limit while the other fought to survival causing a brutal battle for survival to immediately unfold in the next second.
