The journey to the northern waste land was uneventful and quiet but was a very long one.
A week after David had boarded the Sky Cruisers, the Sky Cruiser was forced to land at a foreign region in order to recharge its power source.
David alighted from the Sky Cruiser as did several other students who were in the sky Cruiser with him.
They had been traveling for about a week, which was why David decided to make use of the one day break to stretch his body a little and rid himself of the jetlag he was feeling.
Placing his backpack behind him, they had landed near a little city with a decent PowerStation.
The other passengers in the vehicle were also exhausted. And they also used the opportunity to move round the small city.
Not trailing very far from the Power station, David stopped by a restaurant and ordered a little something to eat as he was really starving.
"What's would you like to have?" a pretty decent looking waitress came towards David's table and asked.
"What decent meal is available here?" David asked back in response since he was unfamiliar with the norms here.
"We have the Snow-flying fish here, the Pink-boiled Blue stag meat and the Dried snow pointer."
David mulled for a bit then just shrugged his shoulders, Since he hadn't tested the foods yet, he didn't know how they tasted, he decided to just pick one randomly.
"Just give me the first one you mention."
"You mean the Snow-flying Fish?" The female waiter asked.
"Yea, that."
"Okay. What about drinks? Should I bring one for you whole you wait for the food?"
"Uhm, what do you guys have available?" David asked.
"We have the night honey, Almond fudge, Chimera's tears, Infused Flame Eland, Grave Dunk-" The waitress quickly listed the drinks one by one.
.
"You know what, Never mind, Just get me water."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDavid quickly interrupted her before she could finish her words.
He was beginning to get a little irritated. What the hell was with those names anyways?
"Okay, coming right up." David nodded his response and stretched tiredly.
Turning on his interface, he brought out a large book from the library and started reading on it.
It was the third volume of the books his master had given to him previously. During his last visit, his master had given him five books with the same sizes.
Which was what David had been reading through out his week long journey. It Was better than doing nothing at all.
"Here is your water." David raised his head up with a tilted eyebrows. It took her more than 10 minutes to get him just a bottle of water. Then how long would it take to her get him his food.
David sighed and but didn't complain. The restaurant was crowded with people which was why he knew she wasn't intentionally putting him on hold. With that, David continued his reading.
After an unknown number of time, there was a sudden loud bang sound that rang out fro the entrance of the restaurant.
The door was forcibly flunked open, smashing against an unlucky fellow and a large and incredibly muscular bald man with a scar running from the top of his head to his cheek.
Murderous vibe radiated off of him with unceasing intensity and the arrogant and sinister expression he had on was more than enough to scar the whole customers in the restaurant to silence.
David raised his head slowly but then resumed reading the book slowly and also understanding it not just storing it in his brain like he had always done.
The bald man stood at the entrance of the restaurant and gazed intimidatingly at the students and other customers.
He had with him a group of fourteen men armed with weapons of various types. Sword, knife, axe machetes, etc.
They stared intimidatingly at everyone in the restaurant as though the whole world owed them a massive amount of debt.
The people were terrified and they immediately inched backwards in fear.
"I-it's the Blood wing gang!" Someone whispered in fear.
"Dammit! Why I'm I so unlucky today? I shouldn't have come out at all!" another bemoaned.
"They don't visit a place without killing people, I pity the unlucky fellow who will die today."
The Blood Wing gang call themselves the rulers of this small city and the amount of power they wielded was even more terrifying than the Mayor's and even as they terrorised the city, the Security Organisations situated in this area couldn't do much about them.
The former mayor had tried eliminating the gang with his influence and authority, calling for favours from other places but he failed miserably and had even died a mysterious death.
Although one couldn't prove it was the Blood Gang's doing, it was no brainer as to who was the true perpetrator to the murder.
Which was why the recent Mayor didn't dare to butt heads with the Blood Wing gang as he didn't want to end up as hems predecessor had done.
"Yang shu! Come out here!" Klein's voice rumbled like a rolling thunder storm. Kleon is one of the sub-leaders of the Blood Wing's gang. He was also the one that had kicked down the door earlier. His nickname, Blood Axe.
The restaurant remained silent as not a single person dared to talk.
"Hehe. I knew this would happen, so I brought a little insurance."
Blood Axe chuckled darkly the he snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, two of his men came in through the broken door of the restaurant, dragging an unconscious lady who was covered in blood along with them.
"Du Linger!" A young man with an handsome features suddenly stepped forwards with a furious expression in his face.
"Blood Axe! What do you mean by this?" his eyes blazed with fury as he glared daggers at Klein.
"Hehehe. Yang Shu, you finally decided to show yourself." Blood Axe chuckled while he waved his blood coloured axe around
"You didn't expect this day to come to come right?" Blood Axe expression tuned cold instantly.
"Daring to oppose the Blood Wing Gang? You clearly are courting death." Thence went ahead to lick his lips.
"She tasted very quite satisfying." This words seem to be a tipping point for Yang Shu.
Yang Shu's expression flickered and he erupted in anger. "I will kill you!"
A fast ray of light whose true nature was blurry flashed from Yang Shu's hands, heading speedily towards Klein's direction. The killing intent from the rat was enough to chill one to the bones.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a blood axe blocked the thin ray of light, finally revealing its true self.
It was a long sword. What was even more unexpected was the fact that Yang Shu instantly blinked from his previous position and appeared before Klein.
"You are certainly worthy of the nickname instant sword." Klein praised but then he wore a smile of mockery appeared on his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But that's barely enough to save you from me. Bloody Scale!" A row of thinly lined red scales grew out from his skin, covering his entire body.
"Seven Bloody Fist!" His scales arms instantly turned into a blur as he sent them hurling towards Yang Shu's face.
Seeing this, Yang Shu's expression changed drastically and immediately withdrew backwards while at the same time, calling forth his own hidden gene.
His legs shockingly snapped backwards with disturbing ease as though one was just flipping through a book.
As he did this, his speed instantly exploded and he was able to dodge the first fist techniques heading towards him.
Yang Shu gritted his teeth as he saw the unconscious Du Linger moving her fingers and moaning in pain.
His eyes instantly turned red and he glared at the sun leader of the Blood Wing gang. He knew there was little hope for him and Du Linger to survive but he was going to try to his last breath.
Thinking up to here, he roared out loud and the long sword disappeared from his hands like an illusion. It was then his voice could be heard. "Inch Slash."
Suddenly, a loud screeching sound echoed in the environment.
The sword had appeared before Blood Axe like a flash. It was very fast, so fast that even the students who were watching the spectacle with amused eyes changed their expressions to a more serious one. It was because they also couldn't see how the sword had moved.
Blood Axe staggered backwards three steps and he stared at his body in surprise.
A white elongated from his waist, Stretching longer to his face. There was a thin line of blood showing the mark and his clothes which was torn.
But apart from that, the sword attack didn't do much harm on his skin.
"Impossible!" Yang Shu was shocked. The spectators were also shocked speechless.
Before Yang Shu knew what was happening, the blood Wing sub leader used the opportunity and flashed in front of him and punched him hard in the stomach.
"Ugh!"
Yang shu dropped to the floor in pain as he grunted. He had been so stunned he wasn't able to react since Klein had taken him by surprise.
Tearing off the shirt hanging on his skin, Blood Axe gazed at the thin line of blood on his red scale and chuckled.
"There is barely anyone in this small city that can penetrate my defence. That was why I was specifically sent to capture you."
Suddenly, his expression turned dark and his eyes were chilling as he walked towards Yang Shu step by step until he was there faces where only a few Inches apart and he whispered.
"Where is the Black Winged-Tiger's Gene nucleus?"
"Release her first and I will tell you.." Yang Shu managed to grunt out those words in pain.
