"This crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He isn't even interested in getting the sky-ranked weapon! He's just here to pick us off!" A badly injured cultivator complained.

"Defend the Miss with your life!"

"Hu Tao! I'm going to rip your heart out of your chest and feed it to dogs for daring to come after our Miss!"

  Hu Tao only laughed in response to that threat or was it a promise? Hu Tao was also interested in that little rumor that had most of the Inner Court disciples running off like lemmings. Not for the spirit weapon itself but to enjoy himself with a few fights that he normally wouldn't get the chance to have. Some of the top rankers that have been hiding like a bunch of scheming weasels sent some of their best men to get these bracelets. Hu Tao wanted a piece of these guys for himself but he's been a bit caught up with fighting anyone that he thought was interesting.

  Like the girl running up ahead. She was at the 4th stage as a Qi Consolidator but had 3 servants all at the 3rd stage? Something smelled fishy and Hu Tao loved that tantalizing smell most of all! If things didn't add up right that meant someone had something to hide and when people have things to hide, they always try and protect it when someone comes sniffing around. That someone is Hu Tao and he expects to find out something very interesting about that pig-tailed brat after catching up to her.

  But first, he has to deal with these three weaklings in front of him on the verge of death. He called them weak because he hasn't even had to use his full strength to overwhelm them. For a bunch of guards, they sure don't have any experience in fighting. What a letdown honestly, he was hoping that they could manage to get a second wind or break out some dangerous technique to try and take him down but nope. His hopes for a good fight from these three was dashed the moment he nearly killed the first one trying to take out the pig-tailed blondie.

"Hey who is that dumb blonde you're working for? Is she some sheltered princess from some hidden clan?"

"We'll never tell you anything!" He spat.

"Hey come on Weakling #1, I'm just curious you know? It's not every day you can catch something like this. If you don't tell me, I might just kill her by accident and never find out." Hu Tao grinned.

"Heh! We're not the only guards of the Miss! Even if we die, the young miss will still be fine!"

"You may be a talented fighter Hu Tao but you're only at the 2nd stage of the Qi Consolidation realm! Know your limits you wild monkey!"

  Oh... Is that so? So, there's an actual fighter waiting for him and he was just wasting his time with these f.u.c.king losers? It was good to know there was a real fight waiting for him but he didn't want to find out this way. He should've killed these guys sooner and saved the surprise for himself. It would've been more exciting that way.

  The three weaklings ran at him together with their swords. Since Hu Tao understood there was a real fight somewhere else, he didn't play around with these weaklings anymore. His chain moved like a flash of light and his iron ball was sent flying towards the three. It was lodged into the ribs of the first servant and his body was sent crashing into the other two, piling them in a heap on the ground. Hu Tao jumped with a mighty leap and stomped down with a single foot on all three with his terrible strength!


  They didn't even have time to scream before dying from his powerful stomp. The killing force was sent all the way from the top weakling down to the bottom weakling in the pile. Hu Tao didn't even dignify their death with respect as he knocked the pile of weaklings down and left them as corpses laying in the dirt. Weaklings don't deserve something like a proper death.

  To catch up with that blondie, Hu Tao would have to run at full speed. He lowered his center of gravity and crouched down low like an animal. He took off like a starving wolf chasing his prey. Prey that he couldn't afford to miss out on. His surroundings have turned into nothing but a blur at his current speed. As long as that pig-tails was still moving at the same speed as she was earlier, Hu Tao would be able to catch up in no time.

  Hu Tao weaved through the forest easily, running on all fours with the agility better than a beast's. He ignored all the spirit beasts near him in favor of his chosen prey. That blonde midget won't escape him. He can already see her figure far ahead still moving slow as all s.h.i.t. Hu Tao looked around for any signs of the hidden guard but couldn't find anything. Those s.h.i.theads better not have lied to him.

  He was in a good enough distance from this far away. As long as she was in his sight, he could reach her with a good leap. Hu Tao surged his qi through his entire lower body and leapt towards the fleeing princess. He stretched out his hand, ready to slam her head into the dirt. She turned around just as he was about to grab her and he saw her eyes widen in fear. Where the h.e.l.l was his fight at? Is that sc.u.mbag taking him lightly?!

  Hu Tao caught the blonde by the throat and slide her across the ground. He stood over her with his hand clutched around her throat. She tried to speak but Hu Tao's grip was tight enough to stop her from saying anything. Whatever she needed to say wasn't important, he had a fight to find. Her face was turning purple and her hand was gripped around his arm trying to remove it. It looks like she was a qi cultivator because her body was weak as s.h.i.t. Hu Tao looked around excitedly, waiting for the appearance of this mysterious secret guard. If he didn't come out any time soon this little fairy's going to be pa.s.sing on to the afterlife! The whites of her eyes were slowly rising into the back of her head. The strength in her arm was weakening.

  What a s.h.i.tty secret guard. Maybe this is his f.u.c.king fetish, watching his Lady being choked to death before coming to the rescue as she's about to f.u.c.king die. Trying to be a savior when he's a sick pervert? What a f.u.c.king riot this guy is. Just to spite the creepy b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Hu Tao released his grip off the midget's neck and posed to strike right through her chest with his hand. She violently hacked and coughed to try and get air into her lungs. Not even aware of her impending death coming from above.

  Hu Tao's hand struck down with merciless intent. He fully intended to kill this girl with this strike. No hesitation could be seen anywhere in his attack. Killing intent fully blasted into the surroundings.

"And here I was trying to keep a low profile..." A voice suddenly appeared above Hu Tao and the chick. His foot was stopping Hu Tao's deadly hand. "But I can't just watch a woman die in front of me in good faith. Especially to a villain like this."

"Took you long enough, freak." Hu Tao grabbed the guard's foot and slung him across the forest clearing.

  He flipped through the air and gently landed back on the ground. Hu Tao stood up and grinned at his opponent. They both vanished from their original places and met halfway in the clearing. Hu Tao clawed towards the guard's throat and watched as he easily dodged his attack. Hu Tao wasn't going to stop just because he missed one attack. He kept on the offensive and unleashed attack after attack.

  His movements were unpredictable and wild like an animal's. Attacking in ways that no normal humans could predict and react to. But this guy was able to handle his attacks well enough! It's been around 30 seconds since their fight began and Hu Tao has yet to even scratch his clothes. Hu Tao's grin widened even further. It looks like he didn't waste his time messing around with Pigtails.

  Hu Tao changed up his fighting style. Instead of relying on his self-taught fighting style, he decided to use his recently gained Flowing Palms of Judgement. He held out both of his palms and led with his left leg forward. His twisted l.u.s.t for fighting was growing even larger than it was earlier. He was excited to get some real experience with this palm art and seeing how this pervert would handle it.

"It looks like you finally decided to become serious. Too bad, you still won't be able to land a single hit on me." He mocked.

  Hu Tao couldn't sense his cultivation realm but knew he wasn't that far ahead of him. If it was, he wouldn't be dodging Hu Tao's attacks right now and would've finished him off earlier. Only a sneaky p.u.s.s.y b.a.s.t.a.r.d would waste time dodging when he could be ending a fight immediately. And Hu Tao plans on making him reveal all of his hidden cards. He still hasn't even warmed up yet!

  Hu Tao thrusted his palm towards the chest of the bodyguard after sliding into his s.p.a.ce. The scared b.a.s.t.a.r.d dodged again but Hu Tao followed up his palm strike with another and then another and continued to lead each palm strike into another attack. The two of them moved from one end of the clearing to the other. One on a constant a.s.sault and the other dodging as much as he could. Hu Tao's attacks were only getting faster and stronger the more strikes he got out.

  Flowing Palms of Judgement is a fist martial art centered around a water-like defense and a non-stop rapid flowing series of strikes. The defense being based on water's ever reactive nature and the attack side of the martial art being based on an unstoppable raging river or the endless powerful crashing of a waterfall. If mastered to its full potential, the user of this martial art can be said to be undefeatable in hand-to-hand combat.

  Hu Tao's already reached the intermediate realm for this sky-ranked fist art in just a few weeks! If that doesn't speak of how monstrous his talent is, then the way he's slowly gaining even further understanding of the martial art as he's in a heated battle should! The mysterious guard was finally being pressured by Hu Tao's palms! He could no longer leisurely avoid his attacks and now had to actively deflect them and move away them!

"Just who in the world are you...? I don't remember someone as talented as you within the sect..." The guard muttered.

"Heh... Now that's a surprise. Someone that actually doesn't know me! Don't worry you sick f.u.c.k, I'll tell you who I am after I bury you six feet under!" Hu Tao landed a powerful blow upon his chest and launched him flying into one of the giant trees within the Immortal Forest.

  Hu Tao watched as the guard crashed into the tree, back first, and then dropped to the ground. Blood dripped down his mouth and he looked as if he had trouble breathing.

"Don't f.u.c.king tell me you're done after one hit." Hu Tao cursed.

"You're much stronger than I expected... I can't remember anyone named Hu Tao... Just what is going on? The only ones stronger than me right now should be the top 10 rankers in the Inner Court, the core disciples, and the elder's disciples." He muttered again.

"Are you f.u.c.king crazy in the head a.s.shole? Of course, I'm stronger than a p.u.s.s.y s.h.i.t like you. Hiding your cultivation rank, running around like a scared b.i.t.c.h, and not even having the b.a.l.l.s to throw a single punch. Not even Shield boy is that much of a p.u.s.s.y."

"I can't face him without using it but it's too early to reveal something like that. I'll have to escape..." He muttered a third time, like Hu Tao couldn't f.u.c.king hear him mumbling!

"OI! YOU INSANE b.a.s.t.a.r.d, DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT RUNNING AWAY!" Hu Tao yelled.

  He looked around for the Pigtails and saw her hiding behind a tree. He disappeared, intent on capturing her and using her to force the guard into fighting him but he was outsped by the guard.

  The guard's body briefly flashed with golden flames as he headed towards her first. Hu Tao wouldn't accept another fight slipping through his fingers. Those flames aren't just any flames. Just by being near the a.s.shole, he feels like his blood was evaporating from the heat. How the h.e.l.l was that midget b.i.t.c.h fine? Whatever, it didn't matter.

  Hu Tao tapped into the anomalous power hidden within his chains. His body, mind, and soul became one with lightning and thunder. Red lightning raced across his body and his pupils turned into arcing lightning bolts. The chains that previously covered his body was now electricity wrapped around him along with the large metal ball. His hair was spiked up and rising straight up in the air.

  The two clashed just in front of the young miss and the force of their combined blow managed to send the young miss flying away. Hu Tao and the guard were sent sliding back nearly an equal distance away from each other after comparing strengths with the guard being moved back an extra step. Hu Tao smirked and prepared to continue their battle. The guard was experiencing a myriad of different emotions. Anger, confusion, disbelief, and shock all in one.

"That's a phoenix's flame isn't it?" Hu Tao suddenly asked.

  The guard's glare turned ice cold. His killing intent was no longer being reigned in anymore and it was washing over Hu Tao like a tsunami's wave. Hu Tao's instincts were telling him to flee immediately. If the hairs all over his body weren't raised before they sure are now after feeling that. But Hu Tao wasn't a mindless beast, his instincts were nothing more than just a tool to help him in battle. Not something that had complete control over his being.

  This guard was about as young as him but that killing intent was about the same as an Earthly Immortal cultivator. That was an exaggeration but Hu Tao's instincts never led him wrong before. That's exactly what he felt like he was up against but he knew that the guard's strength was around a 5th or 6th stage Qi Consolidator with those phoenix flames active.

"Looks like I'll have to kill you now..." He promised.

"Don't hold back or I'm running my mouth to everyone about your legendary flames. I know your types, hiding your strength until you're forced to reveal everything you have and shocking everyone. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Manchu is the exact same." Hu Tao chuckled.

  Phoenix f.u.c.k appeared behind Hu Tao and tried to chop his neck off from his shoulders. Hu Tao casually leaned his head back and stuck out his tongue to taunt him as he dodged the chop. With a surprising backflip from that position, he kicked Phoenix away. He could hear the snap of his wrist as he slid away from him. With an amused grin on his face, Hu Tao turned around to see Phoenix b.a.s.t.a.r.d's arm fixing itself with a few audible cracks.

"You're faster than me? How?! The Phoenix's flame might not be known for its speed but it isn't any less than the other mythical spirit beasts!"

"f.u.c.k if I know r.e.t.a.r.d!" Hu Tao stuck his middle finger up. "That crazy b.i.t.c.h gave me this as a gift for becoming her slave." Hu Tao appeared in front of Phoenix's chest and attempted to elbow a hole straight through his chest.

  Phoenix tried to explode the area around him in a blazing inferno but Hu Tao's lightning cut right through it. The flames couldn't even come close to penetrating the lightning streaks zipping across Hu Tao's body. Phoenix seemed to not even notice the hole in his chest with his hear visibly shown from the outside as he tried to grab onto Hu Tao. Hu Tao could see the hole he just made in his opponent recovering rapidly. His flesh quickly trying to heal and cover his unprotected heart.

'This b.a.s.t.a.r.d's trying to trap me by using his body as bait! He knows he can heal and is trying to use that to kill me! Don't even count on it you f.u.c.king idiot.'

  Hu Tao fully embraced the lightning flowing within his body. His speed was increased to a whole new level as he tore Phoenix apart from all around. Appearing behind him in a flash of lightning and ripping off his arm, vanishing back in front of him and ripping his leg off, making him fall to the ground, and digging inside his intestines with his claws and ripping them out like a savage animal.

  Blood drenched his hands and entire body. Phoenix's healing was recovering much slowly now. Did it work with how much qi he had or did it run on another source of energy...? Well, it doesn't matter. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d did let him have some fun even though he tried to skip out in the middle of it. He'll give the sick a.s.shole a proper death.

  Hu Tao stuck his hand inside the chest of the guard and grasped his slow beating heart in his fingers. He increased the pressure he had on the man's heart and was close to crushing it. In a few moments he would be no more and Hu Tao would be on his way to finding more fights during this little weapon hunt. His grip was suddenly loosened as a foot came flying in his face and launching him through multiple trees. His body hung limp over the edge of a cracked tree. His lightning was gone and turned back into regular chains.

  A new figure stood over the guard's slowly healing body. Along with that figure was a familiar girl, Pigtails.

"Huh... I tried to kill you with that strike. Consider it your luck that you're still alive. If you can consider that even alive..." The new person said about Hu Tao.

"Big Brother... He saved my life. Please save him!" Pigtails hung onto his arm.

"Tch. Only because you asked alright? Don't think about making this guy your boyfriend or anything ok? I'll have to kill him first before giving my sister to any man."

  She blushed heavily.

"Shut up! Hurry up and help him before it's too late!"

"Yeah yeah yeah... I'm at the 9th stage of the Qi Consolidation realm. If I couldn���t even save a brat at the 2nd stage, I would be better off killing myself with a block of tofu."
