'Alright… judging by their moves, those killers seem to be a bit slow, so I think I can take care of them.'
Hira immediately told an employee that he was heading out before running off in the direction of the crossway.
…
"Hehe… oye kid let me tell you something, the path you just took leads to the jungle, you have just signed your death warrant Hahaha…" one of the killers taunted the escaping kid.
But the young man did not stop for even a moment. Instead, this time he was somehow gather enough strength to increase his speed.
"Alright, I think there is no fun anymore, let's just kill him and get back to leader." The boss of this tiny group of killers said before making his move.
He played with a knife in his hand before throwing it towards the running teen at a high speed.
"Aaargh…" The kid fell down as the knife punctured his right knee from behind.
His body slid for some distance, but the pain that was coming from his right knee easily rendered the pain of falling at such a fast speed completely unnoticeable.
"Step… step…" The killers slowly walked towards the whelping kid.
"Well little brat, it seems our fun was only this long. You got some last wish hahaha…" one of the killers laughed.
"Sniff… sniff…" The young man did not say anything, instead he just continued crying harder.
Even the young man thought, that he made a mistake, maybe his head was ringing out of desperation.
'So, this is the end' The young man's eyes suddenly felt hollow. When he realized that he is about to die, suddenly all the restlessness disappeared from his head.
He gave up on resisting and decided to just admit his fate.
Understanding that the killers are going to kill him now, he just closed his eyes and braced for his death.
Seeing that the young man has realized his fate, one of the killers snickered and took a step towards the kid.
He bent down and brought his face close to the kids face.
"Don't worry kid, soon your entire town will join you." He whispered in the kids ear.
'Don't give up… just few more minutes, trust me…' the voice appeared in his head again.
"Stab…"
…
'System… oye system, I can't feel his consciousness anymore.'
[…]
'Damn it, damn it…' Hira was running as fast as he could. But it was still too late for him.
Anger suddenly filled his eyes as he continued to run towards the place where he last traced the consciousness.
Soon Hira reached the location. He found how funny it was, the one person he was trying to save died and he appeared seconds after that.
What he saw in front of him was a group of 5 men in black attire laughing while a few meters away from them lied a body in a pool of blood.
"Hahaha… that was so funny, you couldn't even handle a kid." One of the killers laughed at his mate.
"Shut up. I was caught off guard, or there were no chances of him escaping my eye." The other killer retorted.
"A killer who was caught off guard, you are such a jok…"
"Bang…"
"Crash."
The killer who laughing just now, crashed into a large boulder a few meters away. When his body slid down, he was already dead.
"…"
There was a complete silence for a few seconds.
The other killers looked at the body of their fellow killer lying dead in front of the boulder. Then their eyes fell on the place where he was standing just a few seconds ago.
There instead of their fellow killer, it was someone else standing.
The killers' scalp tingled; they knew they had come across trouble. They immediately made distance between themselves and the anonymous attacker, while at the same time surrounding him.
"Who… who are you…" Another killer asked.
Hira looked at the killer. As soon as his eyes fell on the killer, the killer felt as if was standing alone in front of an entire army.
"Wait… sorr…"
"Boom… bang…" Another body crashed into a tree.
Out of the five killers who had set out to have fun torturing the little kid, two were already dead.
"Attack…" The boss of the group ordered his men to attack at the same time.
They were all terrified of the power that this newcomer showed, but the boss soon realized that this person was not showing any cultivation aura. Maybe he was just a strong second level body refiner, just like him. In that case, if they attacked together, they can easily kill him.
But the boss made a huge mistake.
"Smack…"
"Crash"
Hira caught the leader before smashing him down the earth with massive force.
"bo… boss." The other two killers suddenly lost all their shit. They knew this was not an enemy they could handle, but before they could run far, both their bodies went smashing in trees.
"…"
The area that was filled with 5 killers' scary laughter was now filled with eery silence.
But Hira's rage was yet burning hot.
He ran towards the young man who lost his life, while still trusting his words.
"I am sorry…"
He said, there were no excuses for why he was a few seconds late. The fact was that this young man trusted him, and he died while still trusting him.
Hira held the young man's arm to lift him up.
"…"
"System… show status." Hira called loud.
