" leave!" owen said forcefully. " i will not! don"t you even recognize who you are fighting?!" sofia shouted. "..." owen grit his teeth. sofia had been like this since five years ago. before, she would listen to what he said without delay, but now, she refutes him before he can say anything. sometimes she even locks herself and their daughter in her room, refusing to come out. "..." levi finished weaving the threads. rumble! whitout a word, blood energy rose from his body, forming an ancient gate. "...what the h.e.l.l are you doing? i already said that your petty tricks won"t work!" owen ignored sofia, as the azure fire on his body became darker and hotter. "..." a water like qi silently surrounded levi"s his body. he didn"t release all of it, because even if he did beat owen, he still had to deal with the remainder of the 20 men, and there could be more that he didn"t know about.drip! a purple liquid ran down the hilt of levi"s sabre, to the tip, before dripping on the ground. swis.h.!.+ "..." without a word, he shot towards owen. " Destruction fist!" owen shouted. boom! a sabre clashed with a fist, the shockwave causing the nearby people to stagger. crack! the defensive qi on owen"s fist cracked a little. "..." owen looked at levi silently. although he was in the late stages of the mind opening realm, this person who was only in the begining levels was almost as strong as him. even slightly suppressing his destruction fist, which was one of the skills he was most proud of. sc.r.a.pe! levi was pushed back as his feet slid through the gravel. puchi! he was pushed in the direction of one of the remaining men, and stabbed through his chest without hesitation. the blood poured out of the body and levi absorbed it. "...ke..." he tried to rebuild his arm, but failed. his blood gathered at the stump, and formed the shape of his arm, but it collapsed without him knowing why.
"..." levi caught a glimpse of sofia still standing there with the girl, and had an idea! vivivi! "you!!!" owen shouted, as his eyes became bloodshot! a blood red sword light shot towards sofia and the little girl, as owen frantically tried to catch up to it. in that moment, levi charged behind owen. since he didn"t know any agility skills, he used his wings to help him speed up. crack! owen barely made it in time to stop the sword light, at the cost of burning his qi. a line of blood ran down his lips from his bleeding tongue.
clank!
before owen could relax, a sabre coated in a water like qi slashed down, as he blocked it with his left forearm. cri! crack! his defensive slowly began giving out, as levi used his blood energy to push the sabre down. " d.a.m.n you!" spcha! blood sprayed from owen"s arm as the sabre sunk into it. " destruction fist!" owen gathered the azure fire into his right fist, and punched out. puchi! " cough!!" levi vomited blood. bubble! sizzle! he tried to dodge to the side, but the flaming fist still tore a hole through his left side, scorching his flesh and boiling his blood.
"ughh!" although levi groaned from the pain, he didn"t stop. owen was vulnerable because he had to protect the two behind him, and levi would not miss this chance. the blood gate behind him disintegrated, as he used all of his blood energy to coat his body. snap! tiny snapping sounds rang out all over his body, as his muscles tore. his body cried out in pain, but he kept pus.h.i.+ng. grate! crack! the sabre sc.r.a.ped on owen"s bone, before cutting thorough it. slas.h.!.+ after cutting through his arm, the sabre"s momentum made quick work of owen"s defensive qi, slas.h.i.+ng through his chest and his ribs. "cough!" owen coughed a mouthful of blood. "..." he looked at levi with a deathly glare.
" wwait levi!" behind owen, sofia was trembling while holding the little girl, her voice shaking as she spoke. " levi?" owen"s eyes widened in shock. levi? wasn"t that his trash son? " you can"t kill your father!" she said with a pleading gaze. "..." levi didn"t spare her a glance as he gathered his remaining blood energy. " humph!" seeing the sabre coming at him again, using his remaining hand, he punched out. shatter! the sabre broke as it came into contact with owen"s fist, it was surprising that it lasted that long. levi simply released the sabre, he didn"t coat it with the blood energy for a reason. puchi! his pointed fingernails grew out, red lines appeared on the black fingernails as he pumped the blood energy into them. as owen"s defensive qi was shattered by the previous attack, levi was able to stab right through his chest and destroy his heart.
"..." sofia watched this scene silently with a terror stricken face, as she buried the little girl"s face in her chest. " huff...huff..." levi breathed heavily. with a thought, owen"s body shriveled. thump! he dropped the body and looked at his side, a large scorched hole greeted him. silently, the green liquid was directed towards the hole, dissolving the burnt parts. blood poured out, reforming his side. he touched it and found that it was still soft, only the outside looked like skin. it was like leaving something in a mold and it didn"t solidify properly, only the outside. he once again tried to reform his arm, but again, it didn"t work, not even after removing the burnt parts. looking up, he saw sofia sitting in place, her eyes closed with tears flowing out while hugging the little girl tightly. "cough! le...vi..." levi grew a wing and stabbed through sofia and the little girl, causing her to look at him in disbelief. the bodies shriveled with a thought.
"huff...huff..." levi looked around. a few men were still standing, looks of shock on their faces. the 3 remaining children from levi"s generation were as pale as ghosts. "you... how are you so strong!? i thought that that poison destroys the meridians and rots the dantian?!?" suddenly, a few shouts rang out. looking in that direction, one of the boys with short black hair sat on the ground, a twisted expression on his face.
"..." levi looked at the boy silently. " you are levi right!? how did you get that much strength, you trash?! we poisoned you everyday for a month! yet you still lived!! then as soon as you were thought to be trash, you come back strong! it"s not fair! it"s not fair for one person to have everything! status, talent, strength, why don"t i have those?!?!" the boy shouted crazily. " tell me ho-crack!" levi picked up the broken sabre and threw it at the boy, the broken blade broke through his skull, killing him.
