Heart Cultivation

Jen without giving it a second thought followed them behind, who were they to stole her two days blood and sweat work in front of her own eyes.

Thousands of bugs and birds also followed with their own limited strength.

The man did not give any attention when he sensed that girl was also following, only the old man was itching sour in his eyes, it was possible they would have to engage in a serious battle before deciding who would take this treasure in the end.

"Are you heading toward Penumbra Valley?" the man asked the old man while chasing behind, he wanted to know where they were going now, from the way the old man was bent to change paths and movement, one could tell there was some destiny in his mind.

"Ah, does I need to tell? Don"t mind me but you seem to have low IQ," the old man chuckled, it was clear he was in habit to anger others and perhaps mocking was his hobby.

The man though flamed with fury but he understood what this old man was implying, if they stayed around upper region and started fighting then perhaps both would lose this treasure in case the core expert showed up.

The Swan Lake and the adjacent area belong to the Core and they cannot begin fighting there.

Jen heard their conversation and understood why they were leaving fast, she was not feeling any pressure to follow their pace or movement, they were moving through paddocks and bigger plants now.

Not long after, they left the upper region and the man marked this place for his first attack, if they kept this pursuit, it would prove never ending.

The man aimed his weapon toward the old man and he kept in mind that the attack speed and strength should not lost in front of his opponent"s strength, the equal or up the better, the old was at the same level but his experience years also count as his levels.

Why they were looking for the same treasure because both belong Clone Menders profession and the treasure was first level, if they were asked to destroy a whole city they would have destroyed much less to fight with each other.

Jen was third among two and it never happened before.

But to face the failure was bigger lose, if yes then why not counted as third?

The weapon came with swis.h.i.+ng sound, "Oh, wow so you are impatient?" the old man turned as soon as he sensed the coming weapon, he halted his brisk walk and stopped to let this man taste the dirt.

The old man let his dominion rage around and create a territory of its own, the stronger the better, the flames appeared as furious dragons, no doubt the old man has reasons to remain worry free, he possess power to face his enemy, he swayed inside his dominion as if showing a some specially learned skill to the audience, his haughty mood was at its peak.

The weapon that was aimed at him was a first level crafted sword, with the strong hold on its direction and strength.

The aura it hold within and on surface completely differ because the man was its wielder and its slash carried a range of its own.

"Alas! Only if you have learned any better technique for your sword, you would have gotten my praise," the old man mocked, this was true, the man was unable to purchase or find any technique that could complement the level of his weapon, it was no joke to find such high level technique with ease and comfort.

"I am not fortunate enough as this senior," the man admitted. He was not in mood to chat else the old man would find another chance.

The sword halted at the territory of the opponent and began breaking the dominion, the ragging dominion and the sword were equally resisting because the force behind both were sharp and lethal.

They were not easy going, they knew how important was these moments, if anyone of them lacked force and slacked, the other one would get upper hand and it would be dangerous for further development.

"Did you see, she is also following them, do you know how dangerous it could be for her?" the expert was worried seriously, as soon as Jen decided to chase both stealers, he complained Yongjie.

Initially Yongjie was also alarmed but he saw her safe distance, he knew she was not reckless to jump in the fire, she was looking for a chance.

"She is woman, and if a woman don"t have strength to face stronger enemy, she would start to feign weakness and then she would stab and run away with the treasure," he honestly spoke what was running in his mind, this was his expression about woman.

If Jen was able to hear what was in his mind, she would have beaten him to death without caring her own life, how disrespectful thoughts he bore against woman.

"You have seen her for three days, and you know her demeanor and n.o.ble ways, do you still think she is such a girl?" the other core expert shook his head.

This friend of his was sticky about certain happening.

…

Since three were no more moving further away, the bugs and the birds were able to reach the girl who was standing at some distance and spectating the battle.

"Miss, we are here to help you," the glow worm came to represent all his companions and told her.

Jen also sensed the flock of these bugs and birds, and when she heard the glow worm she was pleasantly surprised, how bigger courage was needed to make this decision? They were small and they were here to help her from much stronger enemies.

She was moved, "You deserve my praise little fellow, but don"t cross the distance else your wings would burn away," she politely reminded.

The battle between both stealer got intense, currently old man was spurting blood because the man has used double trick, he let his sword astray his attention and the second weapon unknowingly damaged his acmes pair without leaving any trace, he still could not understand what weapon was used for this trick?

"I admit you have some tricks up your sleeve but I wonder why you did not you kill instead?" he asked because if a weapon can harm his acmes pair unknowingly, then the wielder could kill his opponent easily.

"Every weapon and skill has its limit," the man chuckled this time.

"If you are done, may I disturb you?" the man heard the girl.

He was bewildered to see that she was still here, in his thoughts, the girl has already left, but she was still here and what was with this att.i.tude?

If she was here for the treasure and wanted to get it back then should she be taking chance when he was busy attacking old man, he was truly busy because he was handling two weapons and Jen was aware about it but she did not resort to such method.

"You stole something I am given responsibility to protect, should not I be here?" she answered without considering his baffled look.

"So you wanted to fight and get it?" he finally asked when he came out of his stupor.

"That"s right," Jen nodded.

The man silently spread his dominion to give a surprise attack at her, Jen has already calculated his move, she immediately created a strong barrier and swept all the bugs and birds who were surrounding her as her soldiers.

She knew as soon as this dominion reached them, their wings would burnt and perhaps all of their bodies too, she swept them away as far as she could and met the enemy head on.

"You must be courageous to follow but it is not sane to face a stronger opponent with arrogance," the man reminded her that she was not strong enough to fight with him.

"It is not arrogance, it is my integrity and honor to save what I should save no matter what," she answered calm and serene.

"I am impressed but I can"t mercy," he increased the flow of his force smiling.

"I don"t need mercy," Jen broke her barrier and a sharp blinding light emerged from her vestige and swamped everything even the dominion of her opponent.

In the moments of daze, the man saw her central acmes pair and stepped back, the solar star emitted a golden force for her attack, the man then turned blind and could not see anything, he thought someone stole his storage and the most precious weapon from him, he felt he was helpless because his enemy was strongest, he fell on his knees and threw away the treasure he stole just now, why because someone whispered in his ears that it all happened because he stole what he should not have stolen.
