“Saudari Lin! Do you mind if we stay on the road later? According to the map I brought we'll be in town tomorrow night." Jiu Rui asked and explained the existence of the city they were about to pass through.
Qiao Lin shook his head and replied. “Anywhere the place to stay for me is no problem. I'm used to it, and I've stayed on the road a few times while traveling with my grandfather." Jiu Rui said.
“Ho Chen until when do you want to walk? You'll find a horse for this girl." The white dragon spoke to Ho Chen who was walking beside him.
Ever since Qiao Lin came with him, Ho Chen walked more often, and Qiao Lin whom he told to ride the white Dragon.
Qiao Lin actually wanted to refuse, yet Ho Chen remained pushy. Inevitably Qiao Lin had to ride the white dragon.
Ho Chen just nodded. “I'll buy it later after arriving in town." Answer Ho Chen.
“Em..? Why is this horse, is he tired or hungry?." Qiao Lin asked after hearing the white dragon sound like it was snoring.
“It's okay he just makes a sound.!." Said Ho Chen.
“Owh..!." Qiao Lin simply nodded, yet his mind started to ask. “Can Chen understand animal language as well?." Inner Qiao Lin.
Qiao Lin Dan Ho Chen was no longer calling brothers, or sisters. They agreed to call the name as usual, to make it more pleasant when talking.
They walked for a while, yet Ho Chen sensed that someone was observing them. "12 not 15 not 23 people." Ho Chen counted the people observing them.
“White dragon pairs your energy protector.!." Said Ho Chen.
“No need you tell me." The white dragon replied, he already knew of the whereabouts of those people.
Ho Chen pulled Jiu Rui's horse near the white dragon. “What's wrong?." Jiu Rui was startled after Ho Chen pulled his horse near the white dragon. Even Qiao Lin was shocked as well.
“Whatever happens, you don't come out!." He said, confusing the two.
“Now the white Dragon..!." Ho Chen said and immediately moved to the white dragon.
The white dragon immediately made a faint energy protector, yet the small white sparkle resembled a faint glint of light.
Jiu Rui and Qiao Lin were increasingly confused to see Ho Chen's sudden behavior moving in front of them at a distance of 3 meters. But a moment of confusion they soon answered.
An arrow shot out at high speed and aimed at Ho Chen. However Ho Chen could catch him Tampa trouble.
“Who attacked us...?." Jiu Rui was a little shocked, she did not know if anyone was after them.
Ho Chen stared at the direction the arrow came from. Then throw back the arrow, with a speed of 2 times. Ho Chen used his wind technique to increase the speed of the arrow.
The arrow was heard hitting the iron when it reached the place where the arrow came from. This time not a single arrow came, but several arrows that came shot but not all pointed at Ho Chen, some of them also targeted Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui.
In one hand movement Ho Chen issued a gust of wind that was able to bend the direction of the arrow. All the arrows that were heading towards them turned their cases and stuck into various woods.
“Oho..! It turns out you're a pretty young man, too.." Someone's voice rang out from the bushes, before long they all came out, about 23 people came out with bows in hand and swords at the waist.
“Who Are You? And what do you want to get in the way of our journey?." Ask Ho Chen.
“What we should introduce ourselves to. You better get out of here, keep your luggage and that girl here. Otherwise don't blame us if we're being rude." Said the man.
“It turns out you guys are street robbers." Said Ho Chen. Ho Chen measured the strength of all of them, all of them possessed Earth Level strength. While the man who spoke was at Sky level peak 3.
The man laughed off. “you already know us, so you can leave now. But still let the girl be with the items here.” the man said as he licked his lips looking at Qiao Lin.
Qiao Lin saw the man's attitude become disgusted and angry, he wanted to get down from the white dragon but given Ho Chen's message, he did not want to burden Ho Chen. And obey his words.
“What makes you so sure that I will do what you want?." Ask Ho Chen.
“Of course I'm sure, if you want to survive, then follow my words." The answer.
The man immediately ordered his members to surround Ho Chen. Everyone drew their swords and prepared to attack.
Ho Chen sighed. Ever since he finished his training, the first to greet him in front of the stone door was precisely a battle so inevitably Ho Chen had to kill, whether it was the demon army or the humans allied with the Demon King.
Even Ho Chen felt lately he was often involved in fights that forced him to become an assassin. This time he was faced with the same situation.
Ho Chen thought about how to not kill them and also make them aware. But looking at those who did not want to let himself go, it was not impossible that he would kill some of the people among them.
“This is your decision, so forgive me if I have to kill some of you..!." Said Ho Chen.
They were all laughing at Ho Chen's words, they thought Ho Chen had gone crazy for not finding a way out. Anyone who feels squeezed like Ho Chen at this time, will usually give up or be forced to fight even if they have to give up their lives.
“Your words may also be young, let's see who will die first!." Said the man then gave orders to his members to kill Ho Chen.
All of them except the man who gave the fairy, attacked Ho Chen simultaneously with their swords.
Ho Chen also moved and arrived first in the presence of one of them. Ho Chen immediately caught the person's hand and took out his sword very quickly.
“What happened..?." The person was startled once his sword had moved into Ho Chen's hands.
Ho Chen immediately attacked the person with his fist, once hit the person was immediately thrown dozens of meters backward along with screams of pain.
“Flying Sword Technique - Spirit of the Gods."
The sword he had managed to grab from one of them immediately soared into the air and shot towards them, yet the one he had only his feet on. Ho Chen had no intention of killing them and tried to paralyze them alone, in one move, the sword managed to slash their calves all, so they fell down groaning in pain while each holding his already injured calf.
