Chapter 20.1- The life of Braum

My name is Braum, a martial artist that belongs to the Xiacai clan, I am currently serving the weak and crippled lady of the Xiacai family.

This is my twenty-seventh reincarnation after I died as a hero.

In the clan, I am the powerful martial artist you could see, this is because of the knowledge I possessed on my reincarnations.

Mana doesn't exist from this world.

But ki exists, ki came from the vitality of the world and human body. We borrow the ki to make our body stronger.

The ranking system of this worlds was on how much ki you cultivate in your dantian, it begins with:

Beginner realm

Apprentice realm

Master realm

Nascent realm

True profound realm

Spirit realm

Earth realm

Sky realm

Emperor's realm

Why am I serving the clan? 

Well, because of this lady that I was currently protecting, she was the only person I swore to protect.

I was born without a family, my family died after being born, some sect slaughtered our clan to get their revenge.

So I ended up serving this family as a male servant.

If I want to leave this clan, I already did it a long time ago, but I am worried about this lady of mine. Since childhood, she stayed by my side and protected me.

She was the person who brings books and ki cultivation to me, she is the only person who ever cared for me. 

In this clan, they mocked her because she cannot cultivate ki for an unknown reason.

I studied every solution to fix her problem, but only came up with one solution and that is to sacrifice my own cultivation to transfer it to her.

I dare not to do it yet because I was worried that after my strength disappeared, no one can protect her on harm, many clan members wanted her to disappear.

So I decided to keep my strength and look for an alternative solution, I even suggested to leave this place and live in the mountain together.

But she rejected my idea because she doesn't want to leave her father and mother who love her so much.

“ Braum, are you listening”???

“ Oh, sorry Rin what is it?”

“ I told you not to have an idea like that again” Rin

“ But if you keep living here you will die someday, because of those damn old elders!”

“ I am fine Braum, I do not want to cause trouble for you, I also don't want my father and mother to be alone” Rin

“ But your father can't do anything against those old damn elders”

“ FUFU, are you that worried about me?” Rin

“ Of course, I am!”

“ Then protect me with all of your might, I know you are the strongest member of our clan or even in this whole continent Braum” Rin

“ But do not underestimate the whole clan just because you are strong Braum, even if you are the strongest the clan can kill you , if they unite their force” Rin

“ Do not worry about me, even if I die, as long you can escape this damn place. I know your parents will be happy with my decision”

“Braum!” Rin

I stop talking and listen to her, when she was like that, I can't do anything.

“ I know you are worried about me, I am fine, so can’t we just enjoy our time being together?” Rin

“ Well, if you say so”

We talk until midnight.

Rin was a very beautiful woman with black hair, black eyes, alluring lips, and sexy body, if I said that I will not fall in love with her, then I must be a blind to not see a beautiful and kind woman like her in front of me.

In my room, I am focusing on meditation and absorb a different kind of energy, in these worlds they only know to absorb the life energy. 

They did not know that a different kind of energy exists and can be absorbed.

I was absorbing the four basic ki elements of the world and infuse it with my body, I can produce water, winds, fires and earth using my ki, they called it ki attribute in this world because people who possessed ki attribute were rare.

People who could possess ki attribute accidentally absorb ki elements that allowed them to use elements, I did not use my ki attribute to this world because it will lead to trouble to Rin and for myself.

If they found out about me using the four ki attribute, they will hunt me for their own interest.

It's not a problem if I am the only one they will hunt, but what about Rin? They will know about her and kidnapped her to threaten me, I can’t bear to see her in pain.

So I decided to hide it and use my original ki instead, the world was cruel and kind sometimes.

Getting some fresh air outside, I heard some voice in a certain room and listen to their conversation.

I want to confirm they will not do anything to Rin.

“We will use your crippled daughter to make an alliance”???

“ I refuse”???

“ You!! Do not anger me any longer or else I will kill you and your daughter, and rape your wife Plum!”???

Damn that elder! I will kill you, tonight I promise Dammit!

“Even if you kill me, I will not give my daughter to any strangers, you elders are really a dirty scumbag, I do not need someone as old and dirty elders. I better kill all of you right now” Plum

“ You are a fool Plum we are doing it for the clan's sake, but you force us to do the other way” elder

“ If I will give my daughter for the clan's sake, I do not need the clan, I will even destroy it, to live with my wife and daughter in a peace. My family’s happiness is more important than the clan” Plum

Father you are truly worthy of respect, do not worry, I will help you kill those dirty and rotten scumbag for you.

“ You are a fool Plum” elder

The elder charge at Father, Plum dodge it in a breath of air and attack the elder with a thrust aimed at the elder neck.

The elder coldly snortd, Plum was sent flying and was smashed at his seat, the elder jump on him.

My father-in-law was in a bad situation, so I used a wind attribute at my feet and compress the water on the edge of my own hand, I instantly reappeared at the back of the elder who jumped and beheaded him.

The elder's head falls in front of my father-in-law, Plum looks at me with surprise, I walk out to him and heal him.

I spread a water in his body to heal is injuries, when the water disappeared like a smoke, my father-in-law looks at me.

“ You can use ki attribute! And two at that!” Plum

“ Well, yeah”

“ Do not yeah me! You idiot” Plum

“ So what will I do?”

“ Now is not time for that, you have to leave with Rin outside the clan” Plum

“ Okay, father-in-law”

“ You! What did you call me!?” Plum

“Father-in-law, why?”

“ How come I did not know, that you have that kind of relationship with my daughter you stupid! Are you sure that you did not invent things?” Plum

“ That’s rude, father-in-law Rin loved me, why don’t you ask her?”

Well, I do not really know, if Rin loves me. But at least for now I need to ask permission FUFU.

“ If that was the case, then take her away, I will leave her to your hand” Plum

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

“ Do you really trust me like that father”

“ Do you really love my daughter or not?” Plum

“ Of course, I love her!”

“ Then I can trust her to you” Plum

“ Okay, I will leave with her”

“ Go, those elder already know what happen here, I will leave with my wife so that we can meet again” Plum

“ Can’t you do something about your elders and clan member father?”

“ No, I can’t, to them, I was just a puppet and their true head was the elders, if they had known that I killed one of the elders together with you, they will hunt me and my family” Plum

“ So we do not have the time, huh”

“Yeah, let’s meet in the mountain” Plum

“ Okay, then”

My father runs at the door to get my mother to escape, then I run into Rin room to get her, I noticed some elder who was running at Rin.

“ Braum comes with us, so we can kill Plum to his betrayal to our clan” elder

“ I don't know what happen, can’t you explain it to me?”

While they are explaining, I cut their throat and look at me with disbelief, I coldly look at them and run into Rin side.

I took Rin into my shoulder and run, Rin was surprised at my action and struggled, I glance at her and said.

“ Rin, the clan has gone mad and want to give you to a certain clan for marriage”

“ Then let them be, if I can stay with my parents and your safety I will gladly accept it” Rin

“ I can’t accept that”

“ Why” Rin

“ Because I love you, that's why I can’t let you marry anyone besides me”

I felt Rin, warm tears into my clothes.

“ Idiot, aren’t you the selfish one?” Rin

“ I am selfish, I will even fight the whole world and protect you”

“ But what about my parents?” Rin

“Worry not, I already have your father approval”

“ Are they safe?” Rin

“ They are, the whole clan started to hunt us down, so we decided to meet on the mountain”

“ Is that so?” Rin

“ Yeah, that is so”

“ Will we be fine? They are chasing us with their full strength, right?” Rin

“ Do you not trust my strength”

“ I trust you, but I am just worried” Rin

“ Don't be, as long you are fine, I will be fine”

“ FUFU, confident are you not?” Rin

“ Of course”

We run on the mountain at full speed, Rin embraced me tightly, I accidentally hold her butt and got a super slap on my cheek.

My cheek was swollen just like a monkey butt, well, the sensation is very good anyway so it's worth the price FUFU.

I noticed some presence following us.

The weakest were at least spirit realm and the strongest was a sky realm at fourth level, I am at the peak of sky level and will need at least a little step to advance into Emperor realm.

I can easily kill them, but I will have a hard time with this many enemies, my ki will surely be exhausted after killing all of them.

I don't know what will happen, while I was deep in thought, some of the sky realm experts were already in front of me.

Using my ki, I accelerated and appeared behind them, I behead them one by one. After that, I decided to leave this place.

But they already caught onto us and was in front of us, I tried to run in the back, I realize that they also have forces in there, one of the elders shouts at me.

“ Braum!! Today you will die for taking that weak woman” the elder

Rin looks at me with a worried face, I said to her.

“ I will be fine, wait here for me”

“ No! Do not fight them, I will just come with them”

“ Do not be stupid, even I fight them head on, I will never give you to them”

“I will leave you for a while”

Rin was about to cry, but I decided to ignore her for now, the enemy forces are more than I expected.

I do not care, if they are one level above me, but their numbers were enough to kill a person like me. They can just exhaust my ki and wait for that chance to kill me.

I decided to clash with them head on to end this immediately, I created a weapon using an earth ki and slash it to my enemy, the nearby spirit realm expert slashed into two.

Using my earth sword I swing my sword sideward and release a wind blade, many of them have their upper body cut into two, I coated my earth sword with fire ki to make the edge sharper and penetrate their body ki.

They are surprised at my elements attribute and started to shout.

“ Oh my god, a four attributes user!” man

“We have to kill this guy or else our clan will be no more” elder

Many experts were now using a bow that I did not recognize and some sword that has cursed effect in it, I ignore and charge at them, when my sword got into contact with their curse sword.

My earth sword crumbled, I was startled at the situation and leap back in higher speed, but an arrow was shot at my back and it started to drain my ki.

So that is the use of those bows, damn it, I will be forced to use my hand to kill those curse users.

I compress my water ki on the edge of my own hand and charge at them, one by one they are beheaded or got slashed in their neck, a miserable cry rang out in the battle field.

After an hour of battling with this expert, I finally kill all of them, but I cannot keep my body any longer.

Five arrows and three swords were stabbed at me, it started to drain my ki, when my ki was completely exhausted, it started to drain my life force in an incredible rate.

Rin was running at me crying, I am happy that you are crying for me, but I do not want to really see you cry.

Sorry Rin, it seems I will go first with you, damn it, i did not taste a woman, yet I will die without even sleeping in the bed with one!

“ No no no, do not die” Rin

“ Don’t cry, here take these bottle it will tell you, how can you meet me again”

Well, at the very least I can leave her my soul, to help her become stronger. So that she will not die in this cruel world.

“ I will pass down my ki and technique to you, you are a bright girl without a ki you can manage to do my tree-step shadow...... I think that is your... Ability”

I wipe her tears and touch her forehead, I can’t really hear what she was saying because my energy was completely dried up, almost all of my nerves doesn’t work properly.

After passing down my ki and technique, Rin writhe in pain I watch her and keep my will to stay a little bit longer, until her pain disappeared.

When her face became a little bit better, I close my eyes, when I open it. I saw a woman with a big horn on her forehead holding me.

A man was watching us on the side, the woman handed me to the man with big horns on both sides of his head.

A man with a black skin, who look like a butler approach us and said.

“ My lord, is that child will be the future king? The next demon lord?” butler

HAHAHAHA you're joking, right? Did I do something bad to be reincarnated as a demon lord heir?
