My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 42 – Cross Venom
“What have you done?” Tan Qiang was puzzled to see the amount of – ash liquid pooling on the ground, but there was no trace of a great fight in the surrounding area.
“Well not much, I just clean the useless pest of disease, you also know Soul Eater is a useless creature is not it?” Tanhill shrugged his shoulders as if Wen Qi's death didn't mean much to him.
“You killed Wen Qi?!!” Tan Qiang exclaimed loudly in disbelief with his own thoughts “Dare once you kill my comrade, you must not know our identity is not, we are rich nobles.”.
“Nobles ... nobility .. heh you guys are Desolate's servants, stop your charade in front of me, it's all useless” Tanhill cut off Tan Qiang's speech.
“You ... how did you know?” a trace of horror appeared in his mind, as stupid as Tan Qiang's stupid – he knew would not be able to defeat the man before him who had likely killed off killing Wen Qi so easily, he said, and now that the man knew their true identity, Tan Qiang had to immediately report this information to Lim.
Tan Qiang immediately injected his life energy into the Storage Ring, picked up the Sound Stone and then held it, but as Tan Qiang was about to contact Lim, he was struck by the sound of a man in front of him.
“Precise thinking, but unfortunately you're dealing with the wrong person, Leaf Incision” back Tanhill moving his index finger directly pointed it at Tan Qiang's hand holding the Sound Stone.
After that, immediately dozens of leaves from the tree behind Tanhill separated from the tree, the foliage immediately turned into a knife – small knife which then shot quickly and sharply towards Tan Qiang.
-srashh
In the next second Tan Qiang's wrist was already detached, neatly cut off leaving his arm.
Tanhill's attack was too fast, even Tan Qiang failed to react, Tan Qiang only came to his senses when he saw blood spurting out of his hands.
“Argggghhhhhh” Tan Qiang immediately closed the blood flow on his arm. However, Tan Qiang's already weak body after fighting Coda, was further weakened by the attack from the man he didn't know about.
“You still don't realize, who are you dealing with now?” Tanhill returned.
“Who are you really?” Tan Qiang still did not know Tanhill's identity.
“Well since you're more stupid than Soul Eater there, there won't be anything interesting that I can learn from you, Leaf Incision” Tanhill is back using his skill, too, the difference now was that Tanhill pointed it straight at Tan Qiang's head.
As well as Tan Qiang's hand, his head was also cut off neatly, then Tan Qiang died instantly with a face filled with shock.
“Taking a High Elf to fight in the forest, you must be kidding” Tanhill sneered, then moving towards Claude.
“Today I killed two Desolate servants for your sake, well even though I don't need to take responsibility for their lives, still I killed my own allies, anyway, I hope that in the future you will be able to repay him more than I expected” Tanhill stroked Claude's head, then carried him and began to walk to find Ashura.
On his way Tanhill found Coda's corpse lying dry and leaving only bone wrapped in skin on his corpse, “Gruesome ability, he said, and I appreciate your persistence and courage” Tanhill clearly knows the characteristics of – characteristics of the Knight Will skill that Coda released.
Meanwhile, unlike the fight between Tan Qiang and Coda who risked each other's lives, the fight between Ashura and Vargas went hand in hand, as both sides waited and watched, Ashura doesn't take it all out because he wants to break away from Vargas and immediately go after Claude.
While Vargas held back because he was looking for a gap in Ashura's defense, because Vargas knows his opponent this time is not easy to beat, he said, if Vargas took the wrong momentum or timing it could have turned around and not in his favor.
“Haha I'm sure that the boy has now been killed, I remind you once again, the two people who ran after the boy, have almost the same power as me”
“Killing two small children for them is like a child's game, now you just give up and leave this place, there is no hope even if you go after them” Vargas wants to shake Ashura's mind.
“I know the ability of my own disciple, he is more than capable of making a miracle” even though Ashura defended Claude, but in his heart he is not right – rightly believe the word – he said himself.
“Oh so that child is your student, it's a pity that I didn't kill that child, if only I had killed him I would have been very satisfied hahah” Vargas would still not have dispelled his anger if he remembered the little boy who dared to insult him.
“Before you speak nonsense, you should pay attention to your own defense” Ashura saw a crack that immediately followed with a Dagger attack, even though the resulting wound was shallow, the resulting wound was shallow, but two consecutive attacks managed to injure the waist of Vargas.
“Hahahah, please just attack me as much as you, for me all your bad attacks are useless at all hahah”
As Vargas said, Ashura's usual attack had no effect on her, as each attack of Ashura entered and slashed Vargas' skin, instantly closing the wound and healing itself.
‘Sial why at a time like this I have no poison that can paralyze him’ Ashura grumbled in her mind ‘And how can I save the boy if I can't paralyze or escape this guy’.
If Ashura had one type of Poison inhibitor regeneration, then Vargas had fallen, without the need to linger – long fight with him.
But unfortunately Ashura forgot the last batch of Poison he had used when hunting in Red Flower City, and because he was preoccupied with the movements of the Goblins made Ashura forget not to fill his supplies in Behemoth City.
Only a – person like Vargas who is confident in his own strength would dare not carry or wear Poison, because as long as Vargas can scratch or inflict injuries on his opponent, he would not be able to use Poison, then the terrifying Blood Rage could he activate.
That's how the fight between the two of them doesn't look like a real fight, instead it looks more like I attack and you defend, then I attack and you dodge.
“You're not being serious – really isn't it, where is your strength,? where's your Poison,?” again – again Vargas is trying to provoke Ashura.
“I don't need Poison to beat you”
“Hahaha, you don't need it, or you don't have it, hahah I don't think you have it, for an Assassin to have no Poison how can you humiliate your own job hahah”
“Hei Ashura, how long will you let him continue to talk nonsense like that, are you not tired of hearing it” arrived – arrived a lazy man's voice from behind Ashura.
Hearing someone come, making the two stop the fight and move away from each other, they are too vigilant about who helps who or who cheats who.
Then Tanhill came out still holding Claude on his back.
“Master, what are you doing here? Keep it Claude, what has happened?” Ashura immediately recognized who had come, but a trace of confusion was clearly visible on her face.
“I just happened to come to this forest to give something to this child, but when on the way I saw it was dying, but take it easy I have treated it, now this child is safe,”
“Then what about those who are together and chasing this child?”
“You mean?” Tanhill pura – pura don't understand.
“You see nothing, the former battle or what” Ashura is moving closer, while Vargas chooses to shut up and listen before later he decides what to do.
“Oh yes I saw a dead body of Mr. Coda and a corpse of a Golden Monkey along with a great battle mark, but it all doesn't really matter, now what you're doing, right now, aren't you ashamed of your own title why you still spin – turn against a mountain bandit, why don't you finish it quickly” Tanhill asks Ashura back.
“I was too worried about the child so I could not freely use all my abilities and skills” Ashura pointed towards Claude.
“Poison?”
“I forgot to buy it” Ashura smiled awkwardly.
“You ..” Tanhill until can not say – words heard Ashura's confession.
“Already, now this child is safe with me, and I want you to try wearing this” Tanhill then take out a pair of Dagger that is still neatly sheathed from the Storage Ring.
“Dagger? But ..” Ashura receives the Dagger Ashura threw.
“You try it first, it's a toy I bought for this child, you try first whether the Dagger is worth it or not”
“The name of the Dagger is Cross Venom, you try to flow your life energy then the Dagger will respond, tips from me, tips from me, you as a user must also be careful – lest you get hit by the Dagger attack,” Tanhill gives a brief explanation about Cross Venom.
Hearing Tanhill's explanation, Ashura immediately pulled out the Dagger and began to drain his life energy, at that moment the blade on the Dagger gave off a dense green aura.
‘Poison?’ Ashura was surprised to feel a faint energy coming out from the Dagger.
Similarly to Ashura, Vargas who had noticed earlier was also surprised when he saw the poison aura coming out of the Dagger blade, ‘Sial, I had to immediately run away, he said, my hunch is not good’ at that time Vargas turned around to prepare to run away.
But his movements were known to Ashura, and with a flash Ashura had already blocked Vargas.
“Yo, where are you going? Our fight is not finished”
