Heart Cultivation 275 Retrea

The man was waiting for his friend to make move and but it turned only a wait.

His friend was convulsing and trying to stand up, the damage done with this slash needed a thorough check to make sure that some of his acmes pair was doing fine or it was hurt with this sudden slash.

Zhi Chang nodded because he was also worried for the sneak attack, in presence of more than one enemy it was highly likely that the other side would resort to such means.

The man was annoyed now to see that his friend was useless, he increased the force behind his dominion, he was above legend level, he don't fear from mere Legend.

Now Zhi Chang could feel the advantage of being at the level higher, he was facing difficulty, his opponent was two levels stronger and if he could not use his techniques accurately to break his strength then the battle would turn one sided wining.

A cultivator who was sent by the crown residence saw these cultivators fighting, he could recognize the mugger but who was this young man daring to battle with the mugger with low cultivation level, does not he fear defeat, even if he does not fear defeat he should be worried because mugger was not alone, he could call his friends any time for his help.

He looked around and was shocked, his friends were standing not far away from him but why they seemed indifferent?

Two other men who were also here to help his friend did not act irrationally and they were looking toward the girl frequently, this silent girl was not simple in their eyes, they could see their friend who was still laying on the ground.

Cultivator was looking at the crowd of the men watching this battle, most of them were the shopkeepers of this market, he casted a glance at every single one of them and then his eyes fell on a particular person, it was Lin'an, she was hiding her face with the hood of her robe.

He ignored because most of the spectators were wearing the same familiar clothing, the cultivators who usually stop to take a look such kind of battle try to remain neutral and hide their ident.i.ty else whoever lose or win might start a grudge against hooters and spectators.

Lin'an looked around to make sure that no one was observing her, she hurriedly turned her head when she spotted the cultivator who was appointed at the inner gates of the crown house, she was clear why he was here that means few other would be around too.

She did not move or show any impulsive movement, the cultivator might get curious.

But it was a big news that someone was trying to stand against mugger, he was notorious for his ways and his gang who committed number of robberies in the central city in the past many years and he was feared by many, he was considered powerful after the crown lady and drunk toad, the archon of the central city.

Sometimes, common people thought that this mugger has the backing of crown lady or the city archon because no one among them seemed to care about his unbridled ways, the only explanation could be the personal backing.

Since it was unusual occurrence, the cultivator went back to tell the lazy toad, city archon, he wanted to know if he was aware what was going on in the city.

The city archon was in his residence and surrounded by beautiful yet fragile lady cultivators, "Let him enter in the residence," an eunuch came and informed about the visitor and city archon considering the ident.i.ty of the visitor ordered to bring him in.

"Greetings city archon," the cultivator glanced at the number of ladies and controlled his desire to slap this toad but he cannot do anything, he was just a servant in the crown residence and nothing else.

Because of this city archon, the central city has already become a mess and now it surly was going toward it's worst, "I see, if anyone is battling in the city then it has nothing to do with me," the toad constricted his brows.

Was this servant of the crown residence was here just to tell him this random thing? Then he waste his time.

"People come blaming me for the present condition of central yet they forget about the ruthless crown lady," Many years ago he was working for the betterment of the city but the crown lady appear whenever she wanted to support the people whom he wanted to punish for breaking the laws and rules, this went on and finally he was unable to do his duty peacefully, later he decided to live peacefully and forget about the responsibility and administration of the central city.

So people can't blame him, right?

The cultivator heard and went back, there was no reason to stop anymore, the city archon has his own limits but he was second strongest cultivator in the Clandestine Manias, he could have earned the support of other elders to get rid from the crown lady but he chose easy way.

The man who was fighting against Zhi Chang could see his second friend laying on the ground and convulsing, he was compelled to look toward the girl, what was going on within her silence, how his friends were unable to ambush?

Jen has many advantages, if she tried to show them all then this man would not think anything else and run away but she don't want to lose a practice cultivator for Zhi Chang, Zhi Chang needed someone to practice with.

If the man happened to know the reason behind this delayed battle ending then he would definitely spurt blood, to think he was considered a punching bag for this girl? His all years and his reputation as a mugger would go to s.h.i.+t.

Sensing that he has no other way and if he retreated without letting this young man lick the dust, he would become a laughingstock for others in future, people would no more fear him and he might not be able to keep his name as invulnerable mugger, he thought to make a last move and at least give some scratches to this young man.

Zhi Chang was not aware but he could feel the increasing rage of his opponent, he thought to use his technique this time, his wild punch has not reached the ultimate peak of his learning and it depended on him whether he would be able to cause a considerable impact with the half learned technique.

Jen was aware about what was going to happen, it was a normal tactics employed by a desperate opponent, and since this mugger was unable to win upper hand and his friends were also unable to help him bully these outsiders, he was left with no choice.

"He is retreating," Lin'an reminded.

"I know, just increase a distance from my standing point," Jen warned her because she was going to use her territory to secure Zhi Chang at the same help him successfully use his technique.

Zhi Chang saw the dominion and nodded, no matter how strong was his Legend level dominion, he needed protection when he was going to charge double dominion against stronger opponent.

The spectators were amused to see how mysteriously those bullies were laying on the ground and no more acting on their will, after all, facing a stronger opponent was something they never experienced before and when they met these outsiders they thought they can easily bully them too just like others.

But who would have thought that one day they would meet real opponents, today this market would celebrate as a big day to see these bullied licking dust, a rare occurrence.

"I am going hire these outsiders for this market to protect from other random muggers," a merchant spoke seeing that both outsiders were able to hold back this mugger and his allies.

"I will give this young man a reward for his courage," the old man who got injured with the brutality of the man spoke.

"Let's show some unity and fight against the cultivators who usually appear here and cause havoc, they have ruined our business," few merchants determined.

The man could hear the merchants and their increasing courage was a threat for him.

He would definitely look for them once he was able to get rid this young man.

Zhi Chang was now at ease, with Jen protecting, he threw his wild punch at the man confining his retreating paths, his efforts would go waste if the man chose to retreat faster than he imagined, Legend and above levels could retreat at any moment and flew away, it would spare them from any further harm but if Zhi Chang let this man retreat that would be unfair, no?

The man spurted blood with the sever impact of this wild punch and he fell on the ground.
