Baxia looked around seeing as no one was alerted by elder Jang's sudden disappearance he smirked and sped off. "Let's go!" Cho cheong tapped Harith on the shoulder and ran forward. Hadith saw the other running too and joined, it looked like they were really serious about running to the whirlwind sect. "Wait up!" Harith called out to Cho cheong as he ran after her. Cho cheong slowed down a little for him to catch-up and they spoke as they ran through the streets. "Do you have a map or something?" He asked. "Why?" Cho cheong responded as she flew over a basket. "How else would you know the way to the sect then?!" Harith said. Did he have to assume that everyone just knew the road to a sect that would take a minimum of two days to travel by carriage?? "Oh...." Cho cheong muttered. What Harith said was true. Not all of them had gone to other sects and some hadn't even stepped foot out of the raging flames sect before. They needed a map to be able to locate the whirlwind sect accurate
"Y...young master Baxia" Dang ju muttered as he looked at the boy standing above them looking like an angel in the glistening sunlight. Baxia unsheathed his sword and jumped down from the rock in one swift motion. Cho cheong stepped forward going in front of Harith and she looked Baxia dead in the eyes. Baxia looked at Cho cheong and smiled "Stay out of this" He said with a gentle voice that had an underlying threat hidden in it. Cho cheong had no response but maintained her stand. Sure Harith could defend himself just fine but impluse had brought her to this point. "Move" Harith spoke in a deep voice as he used a hand to push Cho cheong to the side. Baxia frowned a little but immediately put up his smile back. "Still as brave as ever" He said. Although he really didn't enjoy bullying much, there was one thing about Harith which just made him wat to bully him. Harith never once backed down when confronted, even when he got seriously hurt by Baxia he would maintain his footing. Thi
Baxia flung Cho cheong away and covered his face. The side of his head had started bleeding from the hit. Cho cheong rushed towards Harith and picked him up, his body was wet with blood. His face his chest his back everywhere. "Are you alright?" She asked as she picked him up by the arm. Harith shook his head and tried to free himself from her grasp but she was just too firm. "Let me finish this" Harith muttered "No, we're living now" Cho cheong shook her head. Any more of this nonsense and Harith won't be able to fight in the battle royale again, all because of some pointless battle with Baxia. Cho cheong took a look at Baxia, he was staggering a bit but he looked very much better that Harith's current state. She then properly rested Harith on her shoulder and speed off. Soon peace and quiet had returned to the region with only Baxia standing tall. He had a savage expression on his face as he looked into the distance "Useless bastard...." He mu
"Thank you!"Cho cheong waved to the old woman as she left with Harith. She cleaned the sides of her mouth wiping off the last bit of delicious soup on it. It was about four in the afternoon, Cho cheong had already given up complete hope on winning the race and what she just wanted was to get to the whirlwind sect on time. "How close are we?" Harith asked as they began running. Cho cheong took a look at the map. The small village they had stopped at was marked on the map with no particular name. "About halfway there" Cho cheong said. The village wasn't too far from the middle of the path from the raging flames sect to the whirlwind sect. If they continued travelling at this rate then they would probably get to the whirlwind sect when night falls...... And as thought as soon as it was 9pm the gates of the whirlwind sect became visible to Harith and Cho cheong. Painted silver and adorned with several jewels that captured one's eyes, three two g
"B...but elder Jang, even if... I'm sure they'll still like some rest. We can always do this tomorrow- "Elder Carlos we didn't come here to waste time. Please respect my opinion and let's start the battle royale" Elder Jang cut of elder Carlos with a serious face. "Y..ye" Elder Carlos nodded. He knew there was no convincing elder Jang at this point, he had no choice but to accept the challenge. "It's unavoidable" Elder Carlos said to his students. They all looked tired and some were even sitting down to retain energy. Harith noticed this and asked Cho cheong but she too had no idea, only Baxia seemed to have a faint idea of what was going on. "You know what we planned, try as best as possible to avoid elimination" Elder Carlos said to his students and walked back to elder Jang. "We're ready" He said in a not so confident voice. Elder Jang smiled, he then looked at Sao gang and nodded. With a firm stance he brought his arm out from his rob
Three Whirlwind sect students had formed a wall around a student while the remaining five fought alongside Santiago. "What is the meaning of this?" Elder Carlos asked as he looked at Elder Jang with a questioning face. "The meaning of what?" Elder Jang responded. "T...this! All of this! This isn't how the battle royale should be fought!" Elder Carlos was very annoyed. Each person was supposed to pick an opponent and fight and then when it had reached a certain time or the eliminations had become plenty then they would group up. That was what he had thought his students! But elder Jang was breaking the rules and forcing his students to group up immediately. "And how should it be fought?" Elder Jang kept his cool and asked. "I...it should be- "And who say it should be that way?" Elder Jang cut him off before he could answer. "...." Elder Carlos was left speechless by the question. He couldn't answer because the question had no particular answ
Fear gripped the hearts of the two students. Juan was still charging up his attack while their teammate had been eliminated. They were the only two left to protect the mage now. "What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Diego shouted as he threw his staff in the air. The staff made contact with Harith's hammer and Harith was pushed back from the impact. He fell to the floor but landed on his feet and got ready to attack again. The two students had been in a daze for a while but Diego's voice had clicked their consciousness. They had to do everything possible to let Juan prepare his attack. Juan's attack would be able to take out atleast four or five members of the opponent sect, then they would go on the defensive till the battle royale ends. That was part of their strategy. Another student came to help Diego and they became four all together guarding Juan. They didn't care about fighting at all, they couldn't even fight. An air practitioner could never compare to a
"What?!" Elder Carlos gasped. Juan and Harith's energy had completely disappeared, it was very clear they were not anywhere near. But how's it possible?! The two were just here a second ago and a red glow had made them disappear. How??! Elder Jang narrowed his eyes. Yun Shin's forearm was bleeding and his face expressed visible pain, he seemed to be struggling to hold on to something that very clearly posed a great danger to his health. This was the first time Elder Jang was seeing The Great Zoning Out in action, it certainly didn't leave much to the eye. "Where did you take Juan to you bastard!" One for eh students shouted and charged at Yun shin. He had clearly seen Yun shin perform some kind of ritual that had taken Juan and the other kid, he had to do something about it fast! Yun shin stared as the boy ran forward, he was barely keeping focus to maintain the art long enough, he didn't even have enough energy to fight this other student again. Cho
