CHAPTER 776 THE BEST CHOICE TO PROTECT HIS SECRET

"The Qi Clan?" Although he wasn't familiar with the Qi Clan, he frowned upon hearing its name. He

seemed to attract a lot of trouble recently. He had been harassed by a group of guys and three Earthly

Stage spirit manipulators, and now a Heavenly Stage master was blocking his way. Rocky was getting

suspicious whether or not these events were just a coincidence or planned.

"Don't play dumb with me, kid. I know you're a hidden spy sent by the Cao Clan! They must've known

that we were going to deal with the Xiao Clan so they sent one of their people to help. Humph. I can tell

that you're just as strong as us. But if my brother and I work together, you'll stand no chance." Right on

time, a tall, fat man came out from behind a tree.

Rocky threw a quick glance at the man that just appeared and thought he must be the one who had

thrown the hidden weapons at him. He could tell that the man was also a Heavenly Stage master,

although he was a little weaker than his brother.

"You two are perfect for each other. Like peas and carrots!" Rocky said with sarcasm.

"Come on bloke, just tell us how many people the Cao Clan are going to select from the Xiao Clan to

the Beast Master Contest so that we can get this over quickly. Although the Xiao Clan is weak, their

beast curing skills ain't that bad. Unfortunately for them, they took the wrong side. So don't blame us Qi

Clan for showing no mercy…" the tall, fat man said arrogantly.

"Sorry, I really don't understand what you are talking about. I have nothing to do with whatever your

feud is. Besides, I already handed out my resignation to the Xiao Clan. If you're looking for trouble, just owns this text.

directly go to the Xiao Clan. Now if you can excuse me, I'm leaving!" Rocky didn't want any trouble.

Although he had exposed his Heavenly Stage strength to them, he did not want to take it seriously to

fight with these people. After he finished speaking, he went straight ahead, hoping that the two would

let him go.

"You want to leave? In your dreams!" In a blink of an eye, the tall, fat man blocked Rocky's way. Rocky

was caught off guard by his speed. He didn't expect that the fat man would be this fast for his size.

Rocky stopped and looked at the man in front of him. His eyes turned as cold as ice. It seemed that

these two Heavenly Stage masters from the Qi Clan were as stupid as a pig. Couldn't they tell that he

didn't want to fight because he wanted to protect his identity?

"See, we can't just let you walk away after knowing the Qi Clan's plan. There might be a chance that

you're going to tell that to the Xiao Clan, and that's a risk we don't want to take. We'll just deal with the

Xiao Clan later." With a sinister look in his eyes, the short, thin man gave a nod to his brother as he

finished speaking.

Without a second to spare, the two brothers launched their spiritual martial arts at Rocky.

"Mount Tai Culmination…" The tall, fat man rose high into the air with his rounded belly. And then a

spiritual power encased his whole body, turning him into a human bomb, which then came falling down

unto Rocky. Judging from the size of the bomb and its strength at the Heavenly Stage, suffering a

direct blow from it would surely do irreversible damage.

Upon seeing this, Rocky stepped back calmly to avoid the human bomb attack. But the short, thin man

saw through Rocky's plan and appeared behind Rocky in an instant.

"Furious Wolf!"

As he shouted, he turned into a furious wolf shadow, howling and biting at Rocky's back.

Rocky knew that the short, thin man would attack him from behind while his brother attacked from the

front. It seemed that Rocky had to make a move, now or never.

He would have found it hard to fight both brothers in the past for he only mastered the third level at the

Heavenly Stage. But now with the help of the evil power that had been sealed at the second layer, he

was exponentially stronger than before.

"All right, you asked for it!" Suddenly, a murderous aura appeared around Rocky. His spiritual power

began to steadily increase.

Level three... Level four... Level five...

When he had reached level seven, a strong spiritual power came flying out from his body and formed a

violent tornado, uprooting the grass from the ground.

The two brothers suddenly went pale when they realized that Rocky's strength was at the seventh

grade of the Heavenly Stage. But try as they might, it was too late for them to stop.

Rocky lifted up his arm with the Dragon Spirit Mark and easily snatched the tall, fat man from the sky.

His palm soon turned into a strong vortex which sucked the man, causing him to spin countless of

times midair.

The tall, fat man seemed helpless against Rocky's powers. He had no control of his body nor his

spiritual power. He fought valiantly to try and regain control of his movement but to no avail. After

spinning in midair for what seemed like ages, he was thrown back by Rocky.

The tall, fat man was dashing towards his brother, unable to change his trajectory.

Bang! Bang! "Ah! Ah!" the two men screamed.

The fat man howled in pain after he was attacked by his own brother's spiritual martial arts.

The short, thin man was caught off guard that Rocky used his brother as a shield against his attack.

But after realizing what happened, fear once again enveloped his heart as he remembered that he was

fighting against someone who was at the seventh grade of the Heavenly Stage. Never in a million

years would he have imagined that the Cao Clan would send such a powerful Heavenly Stage master.

Meanwhile, Rocky had already thrown the tall, fat man into a huge stone, breaking it into pieces due to

the force of the impact. However, the fat man was much stronger than expected. After struggling for a

while on the ground, he got up, looking embarrassed.

"Brother, are you alright?" The short, thin man asked his younger brother, as he rushed towards his

side.

"I'm fine. This guy is stronger than we expected. Shall we retreat first?" the tall, fat man said as he saw

that the situation was unfavorable.

The thin man looked at Rocky hesitantly. He knew that even with their strength combined along with

their spirit-manipulated beasts, they would not be able to defeat Rocky.

"Let's go." The brothers signaled their retreat.

"Oh but you already know my true strength. You want to leave? In your dreams!" Now the tables had

turned. The two brothers wanted to leave, but Rocky wouldn't let them go. Rocky couldn't afford

everyone knowing of his true strength. Although he was neither a member of the Xiao Clan nor the Cao

Clan, he knew that the Qi Clan would not let him get away so easily. The Qi Clan was one of the

greatest clans in the Timber Deity Empire, so they would surely keep an eye on him. They might even

try to kill him if they decided that Rocky would pose as a threat to their powerful clan. The best choice

for Rocky to protect his secret was to kill these two brothers.
