..

The glowing dagger's trajectory was diverted to the ground while the figure of the masked Xin Ja was thrown a few meters away. He tumbled in the air and landed on his feet. However, one could see that his hand seem to have been scorched by the energy of the dagger.

"Damn it! Who dares!" shouted Tang Hao as he quickly jumps in front of the group in a defensive formation.

Although their main weapons are already gone, they still carry their daggers as backup weapons.

But then they could not see anyone in the area.

"Are you okay?" Fu Linxue was the first one to react and quickly ran towards Xin Ja.

.

But upon seeing his hand, she showed a confused expression on her beautiful face.

"You.. You're not wounded?" she thought.

Xin Ja did not reply and just walks to the ground and picks the dagger. He then handed the two daggers to the group.

"You should investigate these daggers." Xin Ja said as he turn around and left.

He did not want to be entangled with the group as he knew of the danger he would be in if he would continuously be with them. The group is a troublesome bunch, not only were they chased by a monster, they were even chased by assassins, how could he continue living with his weak physique if he stayed with them?historical

And so, Xin Ja ran as fast as he could and as far away from them as he can. He already saved them twice and has not detected any presence in the area as he left, so he knew that they would be safe.

Xin Ja arrives in an alley and heaves a deep sigh.

But then he suddenly stiffens as he felt that someone is watching him.

Without hesitation, he quickly takes out his formation flags and quickly spreads them around him. He quickly created a trapping formation in the alley.

His movement was quick and discrete, only those that has sharp eyes could have seen the accurate distribution of the rune flags.

He then waited on the side while pretending to be catching his breath.

It did not take long before a young woman suddenly appears from the end of the dark alley. She is wearing a black robe and a hood on her head. Her face is obscured by the darkness of the night in the small alleyway.

As she walks towards Xin Ja, a flash of a smile appears on her face under the hood.

"You are a meddlesome fellow, you've foiled my plans twice." She said as she suddenly waves her hand in the air.

Along with her wave, a few figures appear at the other end of the alleyway blocking the two ends of the path.

The figures are that of men wearing black cloth on their faces.

"Don't worry.. We are just going to teach you a lesson... something that you would never forget. Hihi.." she said with a smirk.

"Cripple his dantian, along with his legs.." she commanded.

The rest of the people around her nodded their heads and approaches Xin Ja. There are around four men that are approaching in every corner.

But Xin Ja is not worried as the group did not have any weapons on them. But then suddenly, the four young men unsheathe their weapons. Two of them have daggers, and the other two have swords, the woman, on the other hand, is now holding a dagger and watches on the side.

Suddenly, the four rush towards him.

Although Xin Ja is still weak and his strength might not be a match to these people, he is confident of the power of his rune flags.

And so when the group enters the rune formation, they were immediately caught in his trap. All of them felt like they just entered a quagmire and it's making them move really slow. Xin Ja did not let this chance pass, he quickly move and takes out the lump of Faragrite Metal Rock and used it as a weapon.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The four masked young men were beaten by Xin Ja using the lump of metal in his hand. He truly admires the strength of the metal lump as it did not even dent while hitting those people.

"This material is really amazing." Xin Ja commented as he looks at the lump of Faragrite metal in his hand.

After that, he shifted his gaze to the woman, and to his surprise, she is already gone. He became alert and quickly stood on guard.

Swoosh!!!

Three knives flew towards Xin Ja, but upon entering the rune formation, the knives' speed was quickly reduced making them fly in slow motion.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to pick one of the knives on the ground and quickly threw it in the direction of the woman.

Seeing the knife being thrown towards her travel in slow motion, she sneered.

Plus, she could see that the knife is not coated with Ki and it made her look down on the guy.

But she is also worried about what is happening in that area. The slow-motion effect of her knives made her feel that the person she is fighting is not an easy opponent.

While she is thinking as such, she did not notice that the knife has left the border of the rune formation. And when the knife flew out of the border, it suddenly glowed and flew like a bullet towards her.

Puchi!!!

Arrgghh!!!

She was caught off guard and the knife hit her shoulder as the speed of a bullet.

It was too fast that she was caught off guard.

How could she have expected that such a thing could happen? And before she knew it, she is already flying to the wall.

Her shoulder was bolted to the wall but the knife and made her feel extreme pain. She suddenly realized that the Ki surrounding the knife is not pure Ki but chaotic Ki. And this made her expression turned ugly.

Pure Ki is nourishing for the body, even if used as a weapon, it could boost the power of the weapon and its penetrating strength but it is not that deadly.

In the history of the kingdom of Jimal only a few people could use chaotic Ki, they can be counted using one's hand. And it is told in the books that those people are dangerous and powerful.

As someone who belongs to a rich clan in Ogden town, Yan Xinxi has read such stories.

And now that she is encountering someone who could use chaotic Ki in his weapon, her expression has turned into fear.

She could immediately feel the meridians in her body shaking and on the verge of exploding. She did not expect that the person she thought as an easy target is someone from the legends.

"Argghh.. No, please.. please spare my life." She cried as she wright in pain.

Xin Ja looks at the young woman on the wall. Her hood is now off and a beautiful face is revealed. But right now, she is showing an agonizing expression.

Xin Ja knew of the effect of the chaotic Ki. He has done this to some of the beasts. But those that are above level 3 are immune to the chaotic Ki attack. Their body would immediately purify the chaotic Ki which would make this type of attack ineffective against them.

Even pure Ki attacks are not that effective against level 4.

Xin Ja walks to the woman and suddenly takes out a few silver needles. He quickly sealed her acupoints making her unable to move. He then touches the dagger which embedded her on the wall and the chaotic Ki was absorbed by his finger.

The woman's expression turned from fear to worry. But when she feels that the chaotic Ki is already gone, she calms down.

"If you dare cross me again.. I will make sure to kill you." Xin Ja said in a low voice.

Although he said that, he himself did not know if he truly could do it. The traumatic experience he has gone through is still a bit fresh in his mind even after 5 years have already passed.

But of course, if worse comes to worst, he would still make the same choice as he did at that time.

He left the woman on the wall and quickly gathers the flags on the ground.

After checking everything, he quickly left the alleyway and disappear into the darkness of the night.

..

The next day..

In front of the dining table, Xin Ja is sitting calmly while the maids are serving him some food. This morning, his father told him that he should stop acting like a fool from now on. His father wanted him to be free to do whatever he wanted and stop sneaking out at night.

And so he agrees and the first step is to have a normal breakfast with his father.

The maids are all astonished at their young master as he began to act like a normal young man.

Some could not even concentrate on their jobs as they would make a lot of mistakes while serving the master and their young master.

Xin Ja could not help but looks down as he feel uncomfortable at the many eyes looking at him. If he could, he would hide his head under the table because of embarrassment.
