The Legacy System

It looked like a desperate move, done in a desperate time and it didn't seem much feasible. Not only that but after doing this, it was the same as accepting their guilt in the matter.

But considering the fact that it was a surprise attack, the chances of it working weren't little either. As the old man couldn't help but even reveal an evil grin on his face.

Too bad that Cui Xie didn't seem surprised though, and he wasn't in fact. Before Cui Xie and his people arrived here, Eric had been here for some time now.

He had already warned Cui Xie about this situation, and also told him to be really careful as there was something strange with this guy and this place.

The truth was that his system evaluation was showing that old man as question marks, which should be impossible as he was able to evaluate almost everyone up to the edges of Realm 2.

Since something like this was happening, then this guy was clearly either wearing some kind of artifact to hide his strength or was actually stronger than he thought.

What made the situation weird though, was that he looked like he wasn't in his best condition. Or to be more exact he seemed a bit out of shape.

Such an expert shouldn't have these problems, as their physical and recovery abilities should be much higher than normal people, or to be more exact a few times higher than even Realm 1 experts.

Eric had been observing that old man, and the other people hidden in the surroundings with great attention but had been unable to find any reason or meaning behind that.

For that reason, he had immediately informed Cui Xie to be extremely careful the moment he arrived and now allow this old man to catch him by surprise.

Clearly unable to understand that their surprise party had been discovered way earlier the white-bearded old man continued with his plan, and he was really close to succeeding.

In fact, the strength that he exploded with at the moment that he jumped in the attack had clearly surpassed the limits of Realm 2.

If Eric had to give an estimation of that strength he would have to admit that it was close to the mid-levels of Realm 2.

Even Eric himself would have trouble in coming up with such strength. While it wasn't impossible for him if he used Dragon Force, it would still be quite difficult.

On the other hand, for Cui Xie and the others, it was close to impossible to achieve it. Cui Xie was only in the middle levels of Realm 1, while his subordinates were even weaker.

But he had something that others didn't, the protection of Roy's Legacy System. After making sure that Cui Xie's life was tied to his, and he gained Cui Xie's partial loyalty Eric had changed his status.

From a simple slave, he had given him the Legacy System's subsystem ability, and through that, he was able to assign or retrieve skills, and other things related to the system.

For example, like the Wind talisman that Cui Xie used before the old man's attack landed on him. This was a great idea that he had copied from Young Master Cui Tao.

This talisman was a 2nd level Wind Talisman that he had bought through the system for a price of 1000 SP points.

For a moment he felt extremely pained and unwilling, but unfortunately, he had no other choice as Cui Xie's life was detrimental to his plan. He couldn't allow this guy to die here and now.

'Swwwiiiiiisssshhhhhh…, Swwwooooosssssshhhhhhhh…, sssswwwwiiiissshhhhhhh~!'

Even though with a bleeding heart he bought the talisman and told him to use it. Immediately a powerful tornado-like wind was created from before Cui Xie which threw the old man flying back.

It was the full strong blast of a peak Realm 2 wind attack, which easily trampled upon the old man's attack, destroyed his posture, and sent him behind flying.

Well, the biggest reason such an attack worked in the first place was that the old man was caught by surprise, otherwise, he might have just been pushed back a few meters.

'Booooommmm~!'

Even though there was a booming sound, it was more due to something breaking through the momentum of the old man's stop, than him actually suffering any kind of crash or injury.

'Cough…, Coughh~!'

Surprisingly the moment that he stopped the old man couldn't help but cough, as there were traces of blood coming from his mouth.

Eric was quite surprised by this fact. He would love to give credit to the wind talisman and say that it was due to its strength, but he knew perfectly that it wasn't the case.

The 2nd level Wind Talisman was good but not this good. Which meant that there was something else wrong with that guy besides the blow he received.

Thinking like that, Eric couldn't help but rethink the fact that this man didn't seem so well a few moments ago. In fact, even now he looked quite a bit pale and sick.

No matter how much he tried to probe him through the system there wasn't much information he was getting, even though he was trying his best to get a read.

His clairvoyance eye skill had been in a deadlock since he evolved to a Realm 1 being, and he wanted to upgrade it. Unfortunately, it seemed a bit expensive at 5000 SP.

Well, more than expensive actually, considering that even a Realm 1 fighter now gave him nothing more than 199 points.

If he would have to express that in human lives it cost more than 30 human lives, and that was humans that had evolved at least once.

Before he could make up his mind though, he saw that the old man seemed to have grown even more crazy and intense as it attacked Cui Xie once again.

"Brat! I want your life!"

But just because this old man was crazy enough to attack twice in a row, it didn't mean that Cui Xie had to defend the same time twice in a row.

As the old man had crossed half the distance towards Cui Xie, two generals of Cui Xie's forces appeared from behind him with two RPGs and then pulled the trigger.

The old man might easily dodge the two RPGs if he wished, after all, his speed of reaction was by no means small. Especially since he was a Realm 2 evolver.

But if he did that, then the two RPGs would proceed towards the Weng family's Mansion and cause quite the damage.

Most probably all the members of the Weng family of Longgang City were inside that Mansion right now. If those two reached the Mansion, the damages to the Weng family's descendants line would be unimaginable.

"You hideous brat~! Why do you use these shameless means to fight me? What kind of man are you?"

'Boooommmmmmmm…, Boooooooooommmmmmm…'

As the old man was screaming at Cui Xie for his shamelessness, and cruelty the guy himself was actually laughing out loud, as he said,

"Hahahaha~! This is quite funny, a trash talks about humanity and manliness. Old thing, where was your shame and righteous fighting spirit when you sneak attacked me!?

You dare ask for justice in front of me? I will make sure to pulverize everything in this damned place!"

Even though he sounded tough and cool, Cui Xie couldn't help but feel the chills as he found out that the old man wasn't dead even after receiving two RPGs.

'boooommm…, cracckkkk…'

There were flames and smoke, as the old man was once again sent flying back, and this time even crashed into a tree, but he was still alive.

'Cough…, Cough…, Cough…'

Once again he started coughing fiercely as this time the blood coming out of his mouth was even more visible, as his appearance became fiercer and more ferocious.

He looked just like some kind of injured and mad dog that could only look at his opponent. Wanting to bite him and chew him, inflicting the biggest pain possible.

Especially with the fact that there were now burned patches all over his body. It made the spectators feel quite a bit disgusted by that.

Eric still couldn't understand why he felt that something was wrong with all of this, but he still ordered Cui Xie to not give the old man any option and continue using the heavy artillery.

The mad dog wasn't able to reason anymore, and it could only proceed to attack rabidly, in hopes of taking the enemy down even if it died.

Once again the old man jumped in attack, but even if two general's were in the process of refilling, the other two were already prepared for this and launched another two RPGs.

The difference this time was that there was an extra layer of attack, as Old Ma appeared out of nowhere and made his jump towards the point of contact.

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM…, BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM~!'

The poor dog seemed to be treated just like some practice target for RPGs, and if that wasn't enough a shadow appeared as he was sent flying back, and made a cutting attack with a sword towards his chest.

The old man seemed to use every tiny bit of strength and potential to protect his chest with his arms, but that seemed to be a great mistake as the sword cut through one of his arms and injured the second.

The scene was much less bloody than people expected it to be, as Eric could only be surprised by what he heard from his Dragon Empress…
