"Unfortunately for you, this item will be mine." After knocking out the auctioneer, Keiichi darted towards the item. The item was protected by a spiritual barrier; however, Keiichi had the means to destroy it. He destroyed the spiritual barrier using mana, then took the item.

"What are you waiting for?! Get that boy!!" One of the VIPs yelled. The Shijiao Sect's cultivators rushed towards Keiichi. They were very angry right now. How dare someone unknown steal an item during an auction?

"Tornado."

*BOOMM!*

A giant tornado was created by Keiichi. The cultivators were all thrown tens of meters away, momentarily incapacitating them. The audience was chaotic with several people running around trying not to get involved in it. The tornado also destroyed a portion of the auction. Keiichi took this opportunity to leave the venue; however, when he was near the exit, a blue barrier covered the area.

'This can't stop me.' He used mana to destroy the barrier and exit the location.

-

"It's done?" Keiichi ran as he watched the auction from a distance. He had also made an air barrier around the auction to keep people from chasing him. Jumping through the buildings, he noticed that the streets appeared to be completely deserted. When he arrived at this place, it was already quite deserted, but he could see some common people walking down the street, but now...

Keiichi looked towards the auction again and saw that no one was chasing him.

"It was easier than I thought-"

*BAM!*

"Ahh!" Keiichi grabbed his arm, his expression pained.

...

"Little thief, return the item or I will kill you."

'Shit! Where the hell did this woman come from?' Keiichi eyed the woman in front of him warily. He didn't know there was such a strong person in the auction. If Keiichi hadn't noticed the blow just before hitting him, this woman could have broken his arm.

Beside the woman, a young girl watched Keiichi with some curiosity. Even though the Shijiao Sect is not as strong in combat power when compared to other major sects, it is still quite a powerful sect. The young girl thought Keiichi was very brave.

"You can try taking it from me if you like." Although the current situation was unforeseen, Keiichi was still confident he could make it out of this place alive.

"Don't be reckless, brat. You can't beat me." The woman struck a combat pose and prepared to take the item by force.

"I see you are a talented young man, how about we talk? The Shijiao Sect will not forgive you; however, we can protect you." The young girl tried a smarter approach. She saw enormous potential in Keiichi and thought he could ally with her.

"I'm sorry but I'm not interested in your invitation." Keiichi released gusts of wind towards the two.

*Slash!* *Slash!*

The gusts of wind cut horizontally towards them. The woman and girl dodged Keiichi's attack. Seeing that communication was not possible between them, the woman decided to use force. The girl just watched from a distance.

'You had taken me by surprise before, I won't let that happen again.' Keiichi prepared for the woman's onslaught.

*Bam!* *Bam!* ...

She started the charge with punches and kicks. Each of her blows was aimed at Keiichi's weaknesses and openings. Keiichi used wind barriers to block as many blows as he could while trying to distance himself from the woman.

'Tornado!'

*BOOMM!*

The tornado was summoned, causing the woman to step back to avoid the attack. Keiichi tries to control his attacks to do minimal damage to the environment. The place where they were fighting was surrounded by buildings, although the vast majority of them were abandoned, Keiichi didn't want to risk hurting the innocent. It was already night, so their fight was not being seen by anyone.

The woman frowned a little when she saw Keiichi's tornado. She wasn't worried about the tornado itself, she was worried about the way it was created. She couldn't see Keiichi gathering spiritual energy to perform his attacks, the tornado didn't seem to have spiritual energy either.

'What is that? This boy is very strange.'

She didn't have time to continue her thoughts, as dozens of arrows of fire came towards her.

"100 blades"

Creating several blades made of spiritual energy, she countered the fire arrows.

*BOOMM!*...

The deserted road was riddled with potholes from the explosions.

'This woman is stronger than I thought.' Keiichi frowned a little.

'Where is she?' Looking around, he couldn't see the woman anywhere.

"You're not bad, boy. Unfortunately, your experience in battle is disappointing." She found his combat mode very simple, despite being strong.

"!!!"

'W-What?!' Keiichi was shocked when the woman appeared in front of him. He could barely see her movements.

The woman focused her spiritual energy on her fingers and touched Keiichi's chest.

"Terminus."

*Bam!*

*Crack!*

"aaargh!!"

Keiichi flew tens of meters due to the blow and crashed into a building.

...

'Shit!!'

Keiichi placed a hand on his chest, his expression pained. Some bones in his body had been broken. His left arm was almost unusable. His chest was hurting a lot too. He used mana to lessen the sensation of pain.

'Aargh, that hurts!'

Compared to the pain of being spanked, the pain now was worse. The mana entered his body, easing the sensation of pain, leaving Keiichi more relieved.

"I don't understand, how do you use skills without spiritual energy? How about you start explaining, I can save your life that way." The girl who was just watching before spoke to Keiichi. She was also curious about that. Keiichi looked at the girl as he remained motionless on the ground.

...

*whisper!*

"Huh? I don't hear you." The girl moved a little closer to Keiichi, trying to hear his whispers.

"Miss, wait!!" The woman ran towards the girl.

"...Hell Flame."

*Shake!*

Greenish flames began to well up on the ground. Such a beautiful yet dangerous green. Just the presence of the flame was enough to cause absolute fear in the woman's heart.

"MS!!"
