Chapter 15 - Strong Mortal

Yan D. Yu was barely away from the auction house when someone said something to him.

“If it isn’t our old servant brother.” A young man who seemed to be in his twenties said as he walked up to Yan D. Yu. Wearing a pure white robe, hazel eyes, and long hair that was in a ponytail.

Next to him was a younger male, who was close to twenty. Wearing a golden robe, with his black hair cut off at the neck. Out of all Le Long’s children, he was the only one who didn’t inherit his hazel eyes. His instead were sky blue.

Yan D. Yu knew who these two were. Le Fang, who was the eldest child, being twenty three and Le Ming being eighteen.

Never expecting that these two would find him so fast, Yan D. Yu didn’t know how to react. It seems that his father told them that he was alive. In his head, he wondered what their reaction was.

Le Long had another two kids, one was a male and the other a female. When Yan D. Yu was forced on that island, those two were still young and they didn’t have anything to do with it. They were twins, both being age nine when he ‘disappeared’.

From Yan Yu’s memories, he clearly knows who put him on that island. It wasn’t like they tried to keep their faces hidden. Maybe because they thought that he would die, never to be seen again? Maybe they were too arrogant?

Now that he is still alive, Yan D. Yu can cause those people some problems. He wouldn’t do it yet, but soon.

It didn’t take many people to force Yan Yu on the island. His two brothers was there when it happened, and some old man rowed the boat. Yan D. Yu knew that those three wouldn’t act without their mother's permission. She, was the real mastermind behind it.

Le Fang’s hand clamped down on Yan D. Yu’s shoulder and gave him a nice squeeze. “Can’t say hi to your brothers you haven’t seen in three years? Isn’t that a little bit too disrespectful?”

Yan D. Yu brushed his hand off. “Don’t touch me.” He told Le Fang.

“Brother, I think our servant brother has grown some huge balls since we’ve last seen him. Isn’t it curetous to pay respects to the elder brothers upon returning? Say, why don’t we give him a little ‘discipline’ like we use to?” Le Ming ask.

Le Fang nodded and smiled. “Indeed, I think he does need more ‘discipline’. He doesn’t give us face upon returning, not even trying to see us the day he came here. We had to find out from father, who just continued questioning us. I say, I wonder what bullshit our servant brother spouted?”

Le Fang quickly threw a punch towards Yan D. Yu. He may not have talent being a martial artist, but his strength was still higher than Yan D. Yu’s. He was a mid ranked Disciple.

When he touched Yan D. Yu, he already found out that he was still a mortal. At first he thought that he would have some sort of cultivation level, but he was wrong. Le Fang didn’t know how he survived on that island and managed to come back here, but since Yan D. Yu was still weak. He would make sure he would never return!

As his fist hit Yan D. Yu’s face, the strangest thing happened. It continued to go through him! A part of his face was missing, but there was purple flames burning around the hole.

Le Fang quickly pulled his fist back, and took two steps back. He looked at his fist, ‘Was I always this strong?’ He did not think that his fist could go through Yan D. Yu’s face, but no matter, he was sure to be dead now.

Yan D. Yu was suppose to be dead, but that did not happen. The part of his face that was missing, soon reappeared again like he was never hurt.

Le Fang wasn’t the only one sweating bullets, his younger brother Le Ming also started sweating hard. How was this person in front of them still human? He should be laying on the ground dead, there is no way a person missing part of their face could still be alive.

Yan D. Yu was also slightly surprised. When he fought that guy in the other town, his flame body wasn’t working which is why he was harmed. However when his brother hit him, his flame body worked fine. Was there a certain reason why?

When Le Fang hit Yan D. Yu, Yan D. Yu could have easily dodged, but he wanted to test his flame body again. If it didn’t work, then he knew that something was wrong with his body, or that people in this world can harm him. Now, he knew that neither of them were the correct answer.

Yan D. Yu needed more information. His brother couldn’t harm him, but that man could. There had to be a reason why. This was vital information for Yan D. Yu.

He decided to put that in the back of his head, as he now focused on the current problem at hand.

Yan D. Yu appeared next to Le Fang, grabbed his arm and broke it. He made sure to coat his hands in Armament Haki before, just to break the bones in his forearm as well.

Having one's arms broke and their bones crushed, was not a feeling anyone could enjoy. Le Fang screamed out in pain, but Yan D. Yu backhanded him sending him flying.

Le Ming gritted his teeth as he pulled out a white sword from his spatial ring. “Know your place!” He yelled out as he swung his sword at Yan D. Yu.

A ding sound could be heard as Yan D. Yu grabbed the blade with his hand. Le Ming was sure that Yan D. Yu’s hand would be split open, but seeing that wicked smile on his face he knew he was wrong. As he tried to pull his sword back, Yan D. Yu’s grip on it was too much for him. Yan D. Yu then gave him a nice kick in his chest. The force behind it was enough to break a few of his ribs.

“Not even two meters away from the auction and you caused a disturbance. I already told ‘father’ that I won’t get revenge, but i’ll definitely make sure you never have the chance to use your arms again.”

Both Le Ming and Le Fang being cultivators, they could survive Yan D. Yu’s attack. They did underestimate him, but even if that was the cause. The damage he gave to them was already serious enough to leave them in the bed for a few weeks. Now he was saying that he wanted them never to use their arms again, they wanted to resist! Or run, but they couldn’t. The pain they felt was too much for their bodies to handle.

Neither one of them passed out from his attacks, so they understood what he said. Is this what they get from the crime they committed all those years ago? Maybe heavens were paying them back?

“Stop! You cannot fight here, don’t you know who rules this town?” A voice asked Yan D. Yu.

When he was being attacked, there were plenty of spectators. They must have known who was provoking him and attacking him, yet they did nothing. Now when he retaliates, they want to stop him?

Like hell!

Yan D. Yu faced that man who told him to stop and gave him the middle finger. “Fuck your rules! Your rules don’t mean crap shit to me, I do what I want, when I want. If you don’t like it, then just try to stop me!”

The man's face turned red from anger. This young generation doesn’t even dare to respect their elders! He wondered he raised Yan D. Yu, because they didn’t do a good job.

He stomped his foot, cursed out loud and walked away. All the others who were watching this matter went on about their business.

Yan D. Yu walked over to Le Ming who was on all fours. Yan D. Yu already decided to make sure that they would think twice about touching someone else again, thus he would cut off an arm. Unsheathing his Wado Ichimonji his blade quickly moved, Le Ming screamed in pain as his left arm from the shoulder was cut off.

Yan D. Yu made sure to coat his blade with Haki so it would easily cut through the bone. Blood sprayed out from his body, and Le Ming’s body started convulsing.

As he strolled over to Le Fang, something shot out at him from afar. Yan D. Yu side stepped, with his Observation Haki that ball of light seemed to move slow.

“You dare cause trouble in our town?” A man asked as he made a dramatic entrance by falling down from the sky.

Yan D. Yu looked at him, he seemed strong. At least he was stronger than that guy he fought in the last town. “Who are you, and why should I care about causing trouble?”

“I see no one taught you to respect your elders, fine let I, Ming Chow teach you!” Pulling out a black long sword, he pushed off the ground.

“Like i’ll let you!” Yan D. Yu rushed at him.

A Metallic ding was heard as both their swords crossed. The dust on the ground was blow away from the impact.

…….

“Sister, why do you think father rushed out of the house so fast?” A young boy asked his sister who was sitting next to him.

“Humph! I don’t care, we get a chance to come home and he leaves!” She puffed out her cheeks.

They were both seated around a table waiting for their father's return. The door was open, and they noticed a few of their family guards running by. “Hurry up, some said that the young masters were hurt!”

The young boy and girl both looked at each other and nodded their head. Someone harmed their older brothers, that person had to pay! No wonder their father rushed out of the house so fast upon their return.

The young girl had her hair in a bun while her brother had his hair in a ponytail. At their age, this was the only way to tell them apart.

Rushing out of the house, they could feel a disturbance resonating in the air. From such a distance, they could still feel it. This could only mean that masters were fighting against each other!

There was a crowd that formed a huge circle, it was so packed that they couldn’t get through.

The young boy tapped his sister on the shoulder and pointed towards a house. She nodded and they ran towards the house, climbing on top of the roof.

They were both cultivators part of a major sect, the sect gave them a month's worth of leave to go home. It took them a week just to come back home, and someone interrupted such a great moment!

They had two older brothers, but when it came to cultivating, they had no talent. Although these two might be twelve, they were still at the peak of the Entry realm. Just a little more and they would be able to break through to the Disciple realm.

With their vision, they could see four people fighting. The movements of these four people were fast, that they could only see a little bit of the fight.

Searching around, they looked for their father.

……

If Bing Zu didn’t come get her, telling her that Yan D. Yu cut off the arm of one of the sons of those five noble clans, she wouldn’t have came outside the auction house.

When she arrived, he was already going at it with the leader from the Ming clan. To her, their clans strength wasn’t much as Ming Chow was only at the Sage realm. For a clan leader to have that much strength, she felt sorry for them.

As the fight continued, another clan leader showed up and jumped into the bout. She didn’t want to get involved in their affairs, but she also couldn’t lose Yan D. Yu who had items she hasn’t seen before. He would be a very important figure for their auction house. Bing Zu stopped her telling her that she should not jump into their matters. He also threw in her grandfather's name to stop her from reacting.

She thought that Yan D. Yu would die even facing off against Ming Chow, but he didn’t. She found it strange, his swordsmanship was top grade making him gain a point of approval from her. However, what really made her interested in him was that he was able to use purple flames.

From the meeting she had earlier, she already knew that he wasn’t a cultivator, yet he could summon flames? What type of person was he? He continued making himself more mysterious in her head.

“Miss Chun, a mortal being able to hold his own against four Sages? If we told anyone this, it would be highly unlikely they would believe us. I wouldn’t even believe it, for such a person to be able to do this… I fear there is only one explanation…”

“...”

“I fear, one of those seven treasures already fell into his hands! If a single treasure can cause a mortal to have this type of strength, just imagine what it could do to an Emperor?” Bing Zu couldn’t hold back his excitement.

Miss Chun had a feeling that he found one of those seven treasures as well, because how else could this be explained? If he found one of those seven treasures, if no one found the other ones, he was bound to find them as well!

If Yan D. Yu was going to find the other treasures, she has to join him! Even if he wanted to keep the other five to himself, as long as she was able to get one. Just one, it could change everything!

If she thought about it realistically, her grandfather would never allow her to join up with him. Just from the way he cut off a noble clansman’s son arm off, showed her how much he cared for the law. He was bound to attract the attention of the Alliance, and her grandfather would not allow her to join up with someone who would be on the bad side of the Alliance.

Her grandfather use to work for the Alliance, but that was ages ago. He wanted to be on a neutral ground in the cultivation world. Which is also why he never let her join a sect. He knew more than she did about the cultivation world, so naturally his wisdom of what goes on in a sect is higher than her own.

Working for the Alliance might have changed his view on a lot of things. She however had another plan, becoming an Emperor and taking over the auction house weren’t her primary concerns. She wanted to make her dream come true. Even if her grandfather didn’t approve, she would find a way to do it.

In this small city, a dim light of hope appeared.

“Miss Chun, look! It seems like this fight is over.” Bing Zu told her as she woke up from her daze.
