Return: The Dragon Legend

Ch. 76. The night before Tournament II

“Tonight..? The moon felt brighter than before” Shou Yan ran while occasionally looking at the moon that continued to shine in his path

Although it was late at night but the atmosphere in Beiping City felt more crowded than during the day, because many city residents still opened their stores but most of them were places to drink

Shou Yan was still looking for a suitable training place for him, even the footsteps had brought him to the gate of Capital City “I guess.

The conclusion was obtained because since at the pier he did not see the city walls except the merchants and inns that fulfilled his vision

A suitable place to train inside the city as well as the tallest one is in the watchtower, Shou Yan looked at the height of the city wall while muttering “How to get to the top.?”

When Shou Yan observed the surrounding situation, he was startled by the two gatekeepers who had suspected him

“Sorry Uncle warrior, I just don't know the way home” Shou Yan raised both his hands while explaining what he actually did

“Go home.?” One of the gate guards looked at Shou Yan from top to bottom and found a sword sheathed on his waist “Who are you..!? Give yourself a good”

“There can't be a child wandering around at night, what's more carrying a sword”

Shou Yan choked on his own saliva when the two spearheads had been pointed right at his neck “Ma-sorry.” Said Shou Yan while running away from the guards

“Hey you-“ When one of the soldiers wanted to chase after her, came someone who caught her attention both of them

“What are you guys doing.? Do the job correctly”

“Ba-baik Tuan Putri” Say the two soldiers simultaneously

“Sorry Princess, it's already night.we just continue walking around after sunrise”.

“But aunt Dong.” Mei Hwa stared at one of her ladies with teary eyes

He had heard a familiar voice and tried to approach the source of the sound but did not find it

“Sorry Princess.We cannot break the order from Her Majesty” With a long explanation, both managed to persuade Mei Hwa to return to the palace

On the other hand, Shou Yan continued to run and stopped on a quiet road on the edge of the city, he then took a breath before returning to find a place to practice “Almost.. it will be very dangerous if caught”

Shou Yan halted his steps, when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, he cautiously walked slowly while holding his sword

When walking a few steps, he was surprised by four men who blocked his path “Who are you.?”

One of the men in black clothes laughed out loud before approaching Shou Yan “Ohh.

Looking at the choking situation, Shou Yan readied the horses as well as tightened his sword hilt, he did not know what was really going on but “I smell his Inner Blood”

“Do not do unnecessary things or. You will never be able to see tomorrow” said one of his colleagues.

“Then, goodbye” Shou Yan ran away but fortunately he has a smaller body in comparison to them so it is not difficult to use wind steps

“Pursue him.!” Said the man who was almost two meters tall, all this time he never made a failure in his mission “I did not pay much to take care of the little boy” Mumbled him before joining the chase

Shou Yan had felt a chill when he came out of the inn and perhaps the incident he had experienced was one of the causes

“What really happened..? Why are they after me.?” Shou Yan tried to find a crowd, so he could ask for help especially to the city soldiers

When Shou Yan focused on managing his breath while running, there was a knife pointed right behind his head but Shou Yan was able to quickly dodge it

Shou Yan racked his brain in order to get out of this situation, and there was only one way that was to fight “Tapak Besi”

Shou Yan stomped his tread to the ground in hopes of provoking the crowd of residents especially the guards

The leader of the group realized his true purpose and did not let all that happen “Catch him.!”

From the umpteenth of the mission he had received, the boy who was holding back the attacks from his three men was the worst “He had a strong soul”

Anyone would feel panic when faced with a life or death situation, especially a child who could only cry when he found an opponent that was much stronger than him

There was already one teacher with his seven students whom he had captured, coincidentally the boy before him had already passed through the area that would be their next target

“Dasal useless. against snot only you can not” The leader of the group joined in attacking Shou Yan simultaneously with his three men

Realizing that the situation was getting more difficult, Shou Yan used the empty-handed user Technique combined with deep power

Shou Yan resisted dozens of attacks while continuing to dodge, even so he still got a punch and a knife slash that hit his growth

“Dia... just reached the earth realm, why is it so hard to catch him” Said one of his fellow men dressed in black

The four men used the mainstay weapons they often used to kill “Don't expect to live you brat”

Shou Yan let out a long sigh before using his technique, he realized that using this technique could cause damage in the surroundings, but there was no other choice

“Skyplitter”

The slash Shou Yan aimed at the man who was approaching him, but he had not expected the other three men to have attacked him from all sides

Shou Yan kicked the man on the left then spun in the air while again attacking the man on the right using his sword sheath

Looking at a crack, the man behind Shou Yan used a paralysis blade where a single scratch on the skin could cause his body to limp within two hours

Familiar with the poisonous smell, Shou Yan fended off the man behind him with a sword, but along with the slash came the sound of cracks

Shou Yan's eyes widened when he saw the crack that had just happened, for a moment he remembered about the previous fight that had already made some wounds on his sword

The three were pushed back a few steps, as it fended off the attack given by Shou Yan “They were not ordinary assassins of his Inner”

During this time, he had faced several warriors from the black faction but among them, they were difficult opponents to defeat

It is not only about strength, but also their speed and experience in dealing with their opponents

When Shou Yan managed to catch his breath, it felt like someone was behind him and when he turned his head, there was a knife right around his neck

“Will... I die here.?” When Shou Yan had resigned himself, a sword appeared that deflected the tip of the blade

“It turns out the Black Sect has no self-esteem.

Shou Yan looked at the back of a familiar girl on his head “Nona.?” Although his face was covered with cloth, he did not forget his Sect attire which was patterned with lotus flowers
