Straw@hat publication ; Chapter - 17 ; Returning to academy ::

After some time both Huo ling and Liu Bao were waiting for the intrusion. Huo ling's face rose up with a smile :

"They have fallen for it" he said to her. They had planted some dark ink bombs at the entrance of the cave both of them nodded and rushed out.

Most of the area was filled with black smoke but it was only temporary as the enemies would soon overcome the surprise. But for the moment their vision was gone.

"What the hell " Chen Chang said . They had just arrived here tracking the two people and just as they were going to enter the cave with a bang all went dark.

" Everyone group together, it is a trap by enemies" the second stage celestial master shouted but before they could assemble again s streak of dark grey approached Chen Chang's neck.

He was horrified but soon there was a defensive shield in front of him. It was the iron shield rank two defence Celestial.

The streak retreated but before Chang could sigh of relief a pained scream entered his ears.

Soon the smoke was cleared:

Huo ling was holding a corpse of the weakest member in the opponent team he was still a middle phase master. So Huo ling caught him off guard in the chaos.

"You ," Chen Chang was going to say something but he noticed that the stage two celestial master was injured badly, before he could say anything the stage two master grabbed him and made an escape.

"Ha, ha your leader is gone now what about you people" huo ling laughed looking at the remaining two people.

" You brat do you dare to mess with our Chen family. The Chen family will hunt you down if you do anything to us" they both said.

But soon they were caught with surprise Huo ling without replying activated his Swift gale celestial and without giving the opponent a chance to use celestial worm cut through one of the Chen family members head.

Liu Bao and the remaining member were both shaken to their cores.

" And why would I care about that " Huo ling replied with an expression less face. He knew that he had became a target for Chen family the moment they met .

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

It was by no way they would let him go after that , so two less Chen family members meant two less threats in the future.

He than engaged in a battle with the remaining one.

Liu Bao had a shiver down her spine " this guy is cutting people like grass without an emotion. When did our Dongfang academy began to admit serial killers "

In her mind she swore never to be on this guys enemy list. The reason being he was too ruthless and very shrewd.

She only told him the details of the enemy and he was up with such an idea they defeated a five man team with a leading of stage two master without a scratch as the opponents were kids.

She was also wondering what kind of tracking celestial he had to give her such accurate positions in the dark ink smoke.

The plan was to get the opponent confused with the ink bombs which she had but thought were useless.

Then Huo ling would attack the young master , the second stage master would use his defence Celestial to defend him, but in the mean time she would attack him with an all out attack from a peak phase rank 1 celestial.

And the plan had worked like wonders.

After killing the last guy Huo ling started to collect their celestial worms, they could be sold for money.

" Tch, the main one's managed to escape, one should not underestimate a stage two master he manged to keep his life in such a situation" huo ling sneered with some curiosity towards the strength of 2nd stage.

Liu Bao snapped out of her thinking and in a tone resembling fear asked " they won't be comming back anytime soon, we should escape too "

Huo ling laughed" I don't eat people, and i still have a mission to complete so it will take some time "

She noded and said okay , like I would believe you after seeing how expression less you were while killing people.

Huo ling asked her to go inside the cave and recover, then he went on the search for the remaining frost dew.

" It seems the Clear Clear worm lives up to its name, I was so calm despite facing an opponent of higher realm and was able to make a good counter plan in short time" he pondered. It was true if not for the clear and boosted condition of his mind he would have panicked there.

In around ten days he collected all the frost dew. He also collected some rooted serene soul flowers as they could be grown in his courtyard.

" We are good to return now " he said to Liu Bao.

She stood up and started to walk in this time period she had observed him and came to a conclusion, she observed that he was a nice guy not a killing maniac just was too shrewd and mature for his age.

But one thing was for sure she was not getting on his bad list , it will be the same as courting death.

" What was your mission to take such a long time ,you seem to be living here from quite a while now " she asked.

" Oh , it was to collect frost dew flowers " he replied remembering all his experience here.

He had used his clear clear worm to observe it again and found many things to get better at.

They both reached the accademy after a day and while chatting they got to know about each other.

Liu Bao was the daughter of a Noble lady in the capital who was a stage 2 refinement master. Their opponents in business were the Chen family refinement business ,and she dominated them.

That is why they were trying to capture her daughter and blackmail her. But Liu managed to escape and then found him.

" I will see you later at the academy" she said her good byes and left. She was very admiring towards him, he had saved her from such a situation and was smart and humble despite being Powerful.

" Finally back here " Huo ling looked at the academie's building and said. He was back with a bang this time.
