Heavenly Dao Child

Ryuu stood while stretching his legs and he grumbling, True-Spear looked at him as he shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt, 'Ryuu severely lacks patience, how did he become such a good cultivator, I do not know such an impatient person would have enough patience to meditate for months or years on end.'

"Brother Ryuu there is no need to be impatient like that."

Ryuu ran his hand through his hair as he spoke, "There is a reason for that brother, we do not know what they are planning, what they want, they are too quiet and if Chasing winds are in contact with them then those people whom I have freed till now might be caught again, but worse of all I have no way of knowing it and it is driving me insane."

True-Spear sighed as he spoke, "I understand what you are saying but we have to be patient otherwise we might end up making some severe mistakes."

Ryuu slouched forward as he spoke with a tired sigh, "I understand but I cannot help it."

A small smile graced True-Spear's face as he spoke, "The way you are acting makes me wonder how you managed to cultivate till now, and we spend months no years while meditating, if you are so impatient I cannot imagine you seating Hours after hours in deep mediation."

Ryuu could simply manage a weak chuckle at True-Spear's words, 'How will I tell him that unlike him, I had gone to sleep and voila I was a near-peak level Mystic Immortal Emperor one day though I slept for decades but still.'

"Well still…."

Ryuu stopped for a moment as his eyes widen as he hurriedly spoke to True-Spear, "Something has happened back at our base, Frost used a special Talisman that would inform me of some form of emergency we have to move fast."

True-Spear jumped up from his seating position as he tried to follow Ryuu who was moving further and further away from him at an incredible speed making him frown hard, 'Damn that Ryuu, he is fast so fast I might not be able to follow him at this rate even if I go a full speed, I just hope he will make it back in time, I wish I were a bit faster.'

Using his superior movement skill 'Prancing Dragon', he moved as fast as possible, he knew that True-Spear would eventually arrive but he does not have time for him, as he moved gargantuan creature suddenly appeared in front of him as he snarled in anger, "I do not have time for this."

The creature did not stand a chance as it was simply cut to pieces by Ryuu in a blink of an eye who then pressed forward, 'Frost is please hold on, please hold on, I will be there within the next minute, I should not have left.'

A quarter of an hour ago, Frost Flames was sitting by Frozen Ocean's side meditating in peace, whereas others were busy with their work when all of a sudden a panicked cultivator dashed into their room as he shouted out, "The Preta Realm, the Preta Realm army is attacking us."

A stunned silence before shouts of chaos and fear erupted amongst them but before they could react a barrier suddenly formed trapping them inside.

Fear gripped Frozen Ocean's heart as she gave Frost Flames an intense stare as she spoke, "Where is Ryuu?"

It jolts her from her stunned state as she quickly used her talisman to call Ryuu but before that, she let out a sigh of relief seeing the Jade slip showed her that Ryuu was safe.

"Sister what should we do?"

Zywia's fearful voice came to Frost Flame's ear whom she quickly embraced to as she spoke in a soothing tone, "There is nothing to worry we would be alright, those two idiots are alright, I do not know how they arrived here but those two will be also here soon so we will have to hold on in the meantime, so stay close to us and support us while trying not to die."

Zywia simply nodded as Frost Flame's eyes harden as she spoke, "Do not be afraid, do not falter, we did not arrive this far to be defeated by those sc.u.m we will hold and we would survive."

No sooner did she speak a loud boom was heard as the cavern they were in to collapse, as they dug themselves out from tons of soils, they were greeted by the sight of the large army of at least three thousand surrounding them, looking down at them from the sky as if they were an ant.

A clap was heard as they looked up to see Chasing Winds clapping with a mocking smile on her face, "My my what a rousing speech for a pair of losers, now be good children and lay down your weapons."

"Shut up bitch, I should have killed you back there."

Chasing Winds smiled as she spoke, "Ah Frozen Ocean how have you been, those horrible days courtesy of you and Ryan how could I forgot but do not worry I am not cruel there are few men that need…."

"Are done with your gloating Winds I am busy after we have secured them we have to return back."

Chasing Winds gave a nervous laugh as she spoke with a short bow, "Of course I am done my Lady they are yours to command."

The person let out a huff as she looked down at the cultivators that were beneath them as she spoke in a tired voice, "I am Unduz, second in command to Lady Ithrura's army and with that authority, I order you lots to surrender."

"We refuse."

A voice came from one of the Manushya realm cultivators as Unduz spoke with a yawn, "What are you waiting to capture them."

Upon hearing her words the Preta realm cultivators descended upon them with a roar that shook the Heavens itself, while Unduz stayed back looking down with a bored look on her face, she then turned towards Chasing Winds as she spoke with a curious tone in her voice, "What are you doing here?"

Chasing Winds looked confused as she spoke, "Wha? What do you mean by that?"

Unduz for the first time showed anger as she spoke, "I am asking what you are doing here, did I not tell everyone to attack, then why are you here? Are you an idiot that cannot follow simple orders?"

Chasing Winds was dumbfounded before she spoke in anger while shaking his outstretched finger towards Unduz, "Now see here, I..."

That was all she could say before Unduz suddenly appeared in front of her holding her by her throat as she spoke with a snarl, "Listen you good for nothing waste of space either you go down and fight or you die."

A look of fear passed through her face as she stuttered out, "B-but Ithrura…"

That was all she managed to say before she slapped hard as Unduz glowered at her before she spoke with barely concealed anger, "That is Lady Ithrura for you peon, you are neither stronger than her nor did she allow you to so never call her casually and as far as I remember I was asked to escort you here safely until you show us the location, now be a dear and show me why should my lady allow someone from the puny Manushya realm to join ours."

She then shoved Chasing Winds back who simply stumbled back before joining the fray below, as Unduz snorted with disgust and disdain towards her, 'A filthy snitch going over her station trying to usurp the authority of her introducer, a mere retainer albeit ambitious but foolish, even if you survive today no one is gone to garner you any favour we do not like backstabbers after all, but where is 'Rain Sword'?'

Unduz became invisible as they battle raged on a battle that the Ryuu's group was losing being outnumbered three to one, it was incredibly difficult for them to survive the onslaught let alone win, but still, they persisted their pride and will to live to make them lash out against their would-be captors hard.

Frost Flames had doused the entire area near her with flames, flames which when under her command was either burning her enemies or miraculously freezing them to their death, Frozen Ocean as her name suggested could control ice and water, with ice she was slowing her enemies, slow enough to at least allow her to draw their blood once and once drawn they were at her mercy as water constitutes a major part of most living organisms body, whereas Zywia was their support the sound of her Zither removed the fatigue, bolstered them with courage while doing the opposite for her enemies but it was not enough, their side was slowly being overwhelmed most were being taken as prisoners though a few were dead.

'We will not make it, Ryuu had placed so many defensive arrays but the collapse of the mountain destroyed them and now we are about to lose.'

"Zywia watch out!"

A shout drew her attention as she watched Chasing Winds inching closer to her with a bloodthirsty smirk on her face she was too close for her to d anything a warm splash of blood hit her face as she watched with eyes full of fear Frost Flames slowly collapsed on the floor being cut down by Chasing Winds who simply smirked upon seeing that.

"Now, here lies the idio…"

"Frost!!!", a voice so louder than the roll of thunder reverberated in the entire area which was soon followed by an inhuman amount of killing intent, it was like drowning in rivers of blood, the barrier shattered like glass as Ryuu dropped near a fallen Frost Flames, upon seeing the Ryuu's draconic eyes filled with anger Chasing winds shivered with fright, 'I am going to die.'

Her prediction turned to be incredibly accurate as in the very next moment Ryuu swung his sword, cleaving not only her in half, but as it contained copious amount of Daos and Soul energy it not only cut her body in half it damaged her soul greatly before setting the body parts aflame.

Ryuu glared at the still smoking carcass in front of him, as the rain poured down, he then dashed towards the still badly injured and bleeding form of Frost Flames as cradled her in his arms as tears flowed from his eyes, 'No no how could this happen, no not again.'

Ryuu gently picked up Frost Flames as he quickly fed her pills to heal her before he looked towards Zywia as he spoke in a soft voice, "Zywia please look after her, I have given enough medicine to stabilize her after I deal with this mongrels I will heal her."

Zywia nodded at her, the soft but soothing voice of Ryuu send chills down her spine that made her feel fearful about Ryuu for some reasons, even Frozen Ocean felt uneasy being near Ryuu the killing intent with a small pinch of madness mad her wary of him.

"Rain Sword, what a pathetic figure you cut never did I understood why you have such a high bounty, Lord Jethrar and Lady Ithrura's presence are more terrifying than you, who did you service to get such a high bounty for a meagre snot-nose brat who cries for a mere wench."

His words made his comrades hurl out jeers and insult Ryuu who did not respond to their taunts and insult but simply looked at them with bored expression before he spoke with a drawl, "Are you done? I always thought that you people were simply cruel and sadistic but now you people are even illiterate the seniors of your realm must be so ashamed of you."

The group taunting him were stunned to silence they could not find any semblance to what he was saying, while on Ryuu's side the cultivators did not look the gift horse in the mouth as they quickly made their way and stood by Ryuu's side dragging the injured with them.

A mocking smile blossomed on Ryuu's face as he spoke, "You all love to remind of my bounty but you all forget something equally important."

The person gave an arrogant smirk as he spoke, "Oh and what is it oh so literate brat."

The mocking smile change to cruel one as Ryuu continued, "Never approach him without at least a mid-level Celestial by your side.", his words made others especially his side to have their eyes widen as Ryuu continued while his killing intent and KI reached new heights, "And now, Prostate before me!", and with that the world changed.
