A Journey Against the World
Chapter 78

Outside as well as inside the White Flower pavilion, everyone was astonished to see Yulon getting a crushing attack from a beautiful-looking girl who even looked as meek as her face. The surrounding community could only gulp down the coarse salivation seeing the hand-cutting scene unfold so quickly. Not a single one of them dared to break up or even approach the crowd of youths who were fighting before.

Inside the pavilion, the few Cultivators who saw the scene earlier could only be dumbfounded. It was unexpected that a girl at the Sky level 7 was able to cut off a hand in a single strike, let alone that piece was so neat and fast. Even an elder who had previously wanted to break up that small showdown could only be shocked as he was amazed, only the first time he saw such great speed. Even her common eyes that she was often proud of alone could not clearly see Shua Xie's movements.

Shua Xie and the 3 young men in the later went inside the pavilion, the look of Shua Xie's expression unchanged, remaining cold and flat, as if the incident had never happened. Many other Cultivators stared at Shua Xie in horror, some of them even turning their faces away from coming face to face, afraid of offending a girl with a temperament like Shua Xie.

Shua Xie looked left and right, the atmosphere of the pavilion was a little different from before, which was so crowded with sounds, now it seemed gripping. With a heavy heart Shua Xie sighed, powerless looking at those who seemed unwilling to look at him, not Shua Xie wanting to be noticed just that they looked scared of him. Is he that terrible?

The atmosphere was back to how it was, but not as crowded as before. People started to forget about the incident earlier, at least until Shua Xie came out of the pavilion. Seeing that Shua Xie's expression looked like he did not like the atmosphere he had just created, not wanting to offend, they immediately acted as if the incident had never happened.

Shua Xie walked up to the roster table, the place where the hunters would register themselves or hand over the proceeds. On the table list a girl of the same age Shua Xie ternseyum awkward, do not forget to say hello.

"Welcome, how can I help you?"

Because the incident was still fresh in the memory of the girl, she also became awkward greeting Shua Xie. Couldn't it be that this terrible event was forgotten in such a short time?

"I and the three young men beside me, want to register to be hunters. Can you register us?"

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll get you a token."

Shua Xie nodded in understanding, letting the girl go fetch the token without asking any more. Shua Xie glanced back around, he could see the extremely elegant White Flower pavilion was not too rich but looked charismatic.

"Sister Shua, it seems like everyone is being wary of you." Chen Xui had been observing the surroundings, sure enough that everyone looked on guard at the four of them even more so at Shua Xie.

Shua Xie's right eyebrow rose, with a slightly cynical face he retorted, "Let it be, there's little point in us letting out a little ability, lest anyone else dare to look for trouble with us."

"But, isn't it a little outrageous to cut off someone's hand? The guy just talked there's nothing bad to do."

Shua Xie frowned as he looked at Chen Xui sharply, "You're defending him?" Only two words of question came out, those two words were able to make Chen Xui instantly dumbfounded. Feeling wrongly asked, he should not have offended earlier. Somehow he became regretful about bringing up the matter earlier, when his intention was just to ask, nothing more.

"It's not like that, I'm just asking. There was no intention of defending him."

Shua Xie lowered his sharp gaze, seeing Chen Xui let out a look of a completely wrong face, Shua Xie felt pity.

"My instructions say, men seem to have to lose a hand." Shua answered Chen Xui's question without caring about Chen Xui's pretext just now.

Chen Xui was a little relieved, because it turned out that Shua Xie did not bother over the question earlier. But hearing Shua Xie's answer as to what was the reason for cutting off the man's hand earlier, it sounded really creepy. How could Shua Xie cut people's hands off just from instinct? What if he cuts off someone else's hand again because of his instincts again? If at any time he got such an instinct, how many hands would he cut?

'Insting? But how is it possible? Doesn't that sound like an exaggeration?' chen Xui asked in his heart. As well as Xui Lang and Xui Cuisha, they were similarly shocked to hear Shua Xie's reply.

Shua Xie looked back to the front when the girl who had previously left had now come, the girl carried 4 wooden tokens with a yellow rope hanger. The girl smiled towards Shua Xie then thrust 4 tokens at the listing table.

"These are four tokens for four would-be hunters. Do you know what this token is for? If I can't explain it yet." The girl stared one by one at a time before her, the last time her gaze fell on Shua Xie.

Shua Xie nodded softly, "Yes no problem. Please explain."

The girl smiled faintly at Shua Xie's reply, she thought Shua Xie would not want to listen to his explanation like most Cultivators who felt great and all-knowing.

'I was too prejudiced on him, he wasn't worse than I thought.'

The girl happily began to explain, "This token is ...."

"Chairman, please avenge brother Yulon. Not only did the girl say we were trash, she also dared to cut off brother Yulon's hand. Chief please avenge us, we don't accept if he says we're trash!" A red-clothed youth used to prostrate in front of a man in a wooden mask, only that his mask only partially covered his left face. Not only the young man himself, but the other 4 comrades also kowtowed.

The masked man was none other than Su Tumo, a 32-year-old former soldier trained in the Bora kingdom. Su Tumo was expelled from the Blood Flower Special Forces, for doing the fatal thing and Xui Sukong himself punished him with the removal of his post and removed him from the special forces. Su Tumo himself was once one of the vice-captains of the 5 best vice-captains that Xui Sukong chose. So it could be said that Su Tumo's prowess could not be underestimated.

Ever since Su Tumo was expelled from the special forces, he began to form a special group that he called the Bloodthirsty. The name sounds unique and creepy, because it is suitable for people like them. Bloodthirsty groups often eradicate small villages outside the city of Bora.

Of the many villages they robbed, they preferred to take the treasures and the young men to be invited to become members of the Bloodthirsty. Parents over 40 are sadistically murdered, and girls as long as they look fresh and still worth using will abuse them until they are satisfied. For a child they will sell as slaves.

The fame of this Bloodthirsty group had reached the entire mainland, many from the government hunted the Bloodthirsty group by sending reliable Cultivators, but none of those Cultivators could go home until now. Somehow the dark Cultivators were good at it. Whether they succeeded or died.

Su Tumo snorted softly at the explanation of his subordinates, "It would not be wrong for the girl to say you guys are trash, you guys do deserve to be nicknamed trash! Fighting one girl just can't! Especially if it's not trash?!"

"But Chairman, that girl is very strong, even we ti-"

Not yet finished his subordinates speaking, Su Tumo instantly cut his words with a loud bang, "You guys are too weak so make no mistake if your opponents are strong! In fighting there is no rule the strength must be equal! If you are weak, try to be strong! Don't blame your opponents! You're not brainy!"

The words that Su Tumo uttered were the words that Xui Sukong had told him and the other special forces members when Su Tumo was still a special forces member. Suppose that Su Tumo is practicing the way Xui Sukong became a Leader.

Hearing their chief snarl, not a single one dared to speak anymore. Su Tumo readjusted his breathing, after regaining his composure he glanced at his 5 subordinates who were prostrating in fear.

"Is the girl a noble? If she's beautiful I want her to be my woman."

"Rightly Chief! The girl must be a noble descendant since she walked in front of Crown Prince Chen Xui. If not nobility where anyone dares to walk in front of the princes."

Su Tumo slightly smiled, starting to be interested in the girl his subordinate was referring to. "Well! Tell Vice Wang Xue to go clean up! But don't get killed, take the girl in front of me. I want to see how beautiful and charming that girl is? Is she more beautiful than that notoriously meek Princess Xui Sha?"

"Prepare Chairman!" answer them all in unison.
