Chains Of Heaven

As we all entered the carriage I see that Levy moved as far away from me in the carriage as he could, his a.s.s must be black and blue as I had to literally kick him flying at least 30 times for him to not be stupid.

He is still glaring at me though.

I see Ji Ji flying inside the carriage and she moved right in front of Levy. The boy looked at it warily only to frown as Ji Ji began to laugh at his face. He couldn't understand she was doing this, he could probably only hear the chirping of her, but for me she was clearly laughing out loud at Levy.

When everyone was inside we began to move again, we would try and cover as much ground as possible before we stop again. I could not stop paying attention to the outside as the carriage moved since we would be moving close to the Giant Profound Beast Mountain now.

Cai'er was sleeping in my shoulder this time while the rest were all well and good.

Everything was going great.

However, the peace was broken when I sensed something approaching.

It was someone flying in this direction, he was moving fast in this direction and I had to quickly turn to evade him, dashing as fast as possible while avoiding him.

"Hehe, try and escape all you want. There is no way you can run away from me, little brat!" The one who was pursuing us said with a mocking tone as he changed trajectories to follow right behind us. His speed is actually a bit higher than that of the carriage, it was never really built for escape I suppose, so escaping him would require maneuvering and try to outsmart him.

Thanks to me using the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew my eyesight became extremely great. I have yet to cultivate an eye technique to match it, I didn't cultivate it yet as there is far too much for me to learn in the Library of Heaven's Path right now, but my eyesight is still superior to most.

The Hyuga clan.

With furrowed eyebrows, I turned to the others.

"Bibi, lead the carriage away from this place. I will cause a distraction so you all can get away from here." I say seriously but she shakes her head.

"No! If you just go out there you might be killed. Also, what if they capture you?" She asks and I smile reassuringly as I see everyone looking at me intensely.

"Do not worry. I can definetly escape if needed, and I am not just letting you all escape. I fight my best when on the ground, if this person or others were to catch up to us when we are flying I would actually be in a weak position instead." I explain, I notice that Medusa and Bibi Dong seems just about ready to go and help me regardless of what I am saying, but I speak against it. "Remember that there are those here who will need protection if something happens. I trust both of you to do it if necessary." I explain to them as I think for a moment and speak. "Continue on the way to the Poisonous Bog, I will meet you all there for sure."

After speaking my piece I did not wait for them to say any more as I jump out. I left them all there to go and delay the enemy for a while, while on the ground I can definetly fight better and the Hyuga are only really dangerous if they get close enough, I can likely keep them at bay with my abilities.

Glancing forward I glare at the person approaching, without hesitation I take out my spear and enter the same stance White Beard used to fight. Concentrating I focus my power and strike at the opposition that is fast approaching, the Pulse of Nature grew in power with my increase in cultivaion and understanding of the Laws of Wood, Earth, and now Water as well.

The pulse of energy traveling fast and creating a great impact in all on its path. The Hyuga that was flying before released his defensive art that was just like the one I saw Neji use in the tournament.

Seeing him stop I continued, moving my spear more I launched a few stakes at him, he looked at me and avoided them all before dashing in my direction.

"I see that you are not afraid of death, good mentality, boy, shame you didn't think of it when you should have. Did you really expect to get out without a proper punishment after stomping on the honor of my most glorious and honorable Hyuga clan?!" He asked in derision, his face set on an ugly smirk.

I need to waste as much time as possible here, so I decided to play along.

"I see, but could you at least tell me how exactly did I offend your clan?"

"I see that even with all your genius you still are but a stupid child inside. Very well, I will explain it to you then. You defeated the genius of our clan, you who don't have any clan to speak off and came out of nowhere! You are but an ant, an insignificant ant that can be crushed at any moment by my most glorious and honorable Hyuga Clan, and yet you defeated our genius."

Oh, so it is pain in their 'great' a.s.s pride that they were soundly beaten and they could not accept the fact like anyone else could. Choosing to get revenge for such a small matter and acting like I am the dumb one, they really are dumb prideful idiots.

"Very well, but does such a small matter really needs your clan to go to such an extent, arming such a great trap just for this small matter? That was a tournament, after all. Winning and losing is normal in one such event." I asked, making his face flush red. If it is embarrassment or anger for being called out on their stupidity and pettiness remains to be seen.

Oh, who am I kidding, he is probably outraged that I doubted the honor and glory or whatever of his clan.

"You dare question the Hyuga clan!? YOU DARE!? I was going to just cripple you before, but now you will not be so lucky. My clan have methods, we will put a slave mark on you and make you be the dog of the Hyuga, to bark and do whatever else your betters order you to do. Consider this your luck, bastard."

... Petty as FFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK

"I see, so you intend for this then? To turn me into a slave."

"It is what you deserve for humiliating us." He said and it seems he is tired of talking. A shame since I could really use some more time.

But, even so I feel that I didn't have much more to wait as the flying carriages arrived now, more than 30 Hyuga clan members of the Emperor realm and higher surrounding me in all sides.

This just might be an actual tough one.

3° Person P.O.V.

As the encirclement closed all Hyuga members there were thinking they already won. In the highest carriage, the Deputy Clan Head was watching it all with a cup of wine in hand a smile to his face, by his side the daughter and heir of the actual Clan Head was watching what was happening with a troubled face, not knowing how to react to all of this.

They all thought that the fight would be over in an instant, believing Enkidu unable to face the members on the ground, all Deacons or outer elders of the clan.

However, the reality was hardly as kind. Of the thirty members there 10 moved forward first, coming from all sides and angles while trying to reach Enkidu.

He did not move as if to attack them, instead, it was more like a dance than anything as he moved in place, with each movement of him the terrain shook and the Earth rose in accordance. The Hyuga deacons were unable to get to him when the Earth beneath them would constantly get in their way, like waves in a stormy beach the earth moved and those trying to get to him had to spend much energy doing so.

Enkidu did not try and stop the enemy completely, it would waste far too much energy to try and stop them all, so instead, he would slow them down at different speeds, making the human wave become more controlled as the first few enemies began to reach him.

Even when they did so he would not truly stop his rhythm, as if it was all calculated he would parry, dodge, and counter the Hyuga clan deacons that got to him while not stopping to move.

STAB

SLASH

SWEEP

CRUSH

Moving his spear Enkidu cut down and killed member after member of the Hyuga clan.

It was a scene of beauty, knowing he had no other choice Enkidu did not hesitate to act. He began to rise his amp as he released his chains all around inside the area he controlled, piercing or locking the Hyuga Clan members in place as he did so.

Deciding to act despite his much higher cultivation realm he moved to the edge of the carriage. putting a finger in his spatial ring he took out a profound artifact, a bow and arrow. It shone with resplendent light as he aimed down, the eyesight of the Hyuga being far too great for him to miss his chance.

The moment when Enkidu pierced a Hyuga member through the c.h.e.s.t, the instant he stopped for but a moment, that was all it took.

SWOSH

The arrow flew, piercing Enkidu in his right shoulder and penetrating deep in his body.

The force of the arrow being enough to disrupt Enkidu's movements for a while, thus letting the opponents to be able to all reach him.

More than 20 reached Enkidu then, most with some injury or at least scratches in their form as they got to him.

In his desperation, Enkidu created dozens upon dozens of chains from the ground, all of them surrounding him as the first one hit him in the c.h.e.s.t with his palm. Some of the Hyuga clan members were injured by this, three dying on the spot as either their hearts or heads were pierced and the one to hit Enkidu got more than 10 chains piercing all over his body, dying a gruesome and terrible death..

Infuriated they all attacked the chains. They were all surprisingly tough but in the end they pierced them, but by then they saw something unexpected.

Enkidu was long gone.

"FIND HIM!" The Deputy Clan Head yelled in fury. "As Deputy Clan Head of the most glorious and honorable Hyuga clan I want him found and brought back to me! He must pay for each drop of blood he drew from us!"

"OOHHHH!" The members of the clan down there, as well as those in the other carriages, were loud as they moved about, all wanting to search for Enkidu. None of them foolish enough to not know how dangerous things would be if Enkidu escaped and came back later when he was older and stronger.

As this went down the Deacon turned to the young mistress and the rest of the young generation in the carriage, he then spoke.

"You all, go with the rest and search for that person. I am giving you all a communication talisman, if you find him using your Byakugan you are to report directly to me, I will go and take care of him." The Deacon said with Hinata and the others nodding their heads as they were released in the forest to search for Enkidu.

The Deacon could well imagine how nice it would be if it was Hinata who finds Enkidu, this was a dangerous mission so the possibility of her dying was high and even if she was not killed she could easily end up as 'collateral' just as well. If he brings back the Sky Poison Pearl even one thousand Hinatas would mean nothing to the clan.
