Chapter 45: Conflict
With each step he took, runes of raw natural blue mana burst out of his feet, making dozens upon dozens of runic images as he walked. Feng was pleased with this development. He found that ever since he connected with nature and condensed a part of the Laws of Nature into a Grimoire, his runes and raw mana had received a significant change.
Feng, feeling pleased with himself, clapped in delight like a little child that received a toy. Today he was so happy that he didn't even pay attention to the various things that had been bothering him. With a light hum, Feng walked on the floor of the forest with a broad smile, the runes behind him, occasionally killing the Blood-Sucking trees around him.
The anti-social youth even got to know some Shameless Dragon Mercenaries, excluding Nisha. Some of the mercenaries had strange mana, but the rest were average and chose to follow Long Hu's path of shamelessness.
The forest became quiet as the Blood Queen stopped sending flesh-and-blood puppets and blood beasts after them. Seeing this, Feng arrogantly thought,
'Hehe, it must have been because of my runic prowess. I'm so cool.'
Feng thinks, stroking his ego. It was then a voice was heard in the vicinity.
"Wah, beauties! Guards go get them and exterminate the trash around them while you're at it!"
The voice was vulgar and annoying; it irritated Long Hu to the bones, using this irritation to fuel himself, Long Hu issued a command.
"Formation!"
Hearing his command, the Shameless Dragon Mercenaries arranged themselves in a battle formation, while Feng and Eshu stood, side-by-side, ready to attack at any moment.
While this happened, loud footsteps were heard running towards Feng and the others. Several black-robed figures appeared soundlessly around them. On the back of their robes was the insignia of one silvery-white moon.
As the figures approached, another figure could be seen riding on a flying sword, flying speedily behind the robed figures. This figure was dressed in white robes with the insignia of ten black moons on the back of his robes.
In his eyes was unconcealable lust as he looked at Nisha and Iris, the two girls in Long Hu's mercenary group; and they were quite beautiful girls at that. The lust within his eyes couldn't be hidden, no matter how hard he tried. With his sharp eyes, Feng naturally saw the lust in his eyes.
A cold glint flashed within his eyes, and he began to move. It was then he felt a cold hand grabbing onto him; he whirled his head to look. He saw Long Hu with a stern, cold look on his face, Feng was stunned, this was the first time he had ever seen Long Hu like this.
He heard a cold laugh coming out of Long Hu's mouth.
"They are in my mercenary group, and they are women. This means that other than being my people, they are also my women!"
A golden aura gushed out of Long Hu as he dashed towards the attackers and the brat who sent them.
After a while, Feng finally thought. 'It seems Long Hu didn't choose to cultivate mana as I did, but he switched to some kind of another energy type?'
He continued to observe with keen eyes. A golden energy sword appeared in Long Hu's hand as he moved, he took large strides, explosions of golden energy came out of his feet, he looked like Feng when he unleashed runes unto the ground using his feet.
The illusory image of a faint golden Xiang dragon appeared behind Long Hu. His energy sword flashed out and beheaded some of the approaching cultivators. The metallic scent of blood spread out everywhere Long Hu moved.
Very soon, with the assistance of the Shameless Dragon Mercenaries, Long Hu had disposed of all the approaching robed figures. Only the brat remained, seeing his protectors sprawled across the ground, dead. The youth who issued the command had already begun to steer his flying sword around in an attempt to escape.
Suddenly the sound of the wind howling was heard, and he turned his head to look behind him, both Feng and Eshu had large amounts of mist spewing out of their mouths, Feng's mist formed a Nirvanic Mist Pheonix, while Esh's formed a small sparrow that gave off the aura of death.
The two mist beasts left a trail of blaze and death in their wake. The eyes of the youth dilated, and a lot of blood rushed into his head. Suddenly he yelled.
"I am Grant Luna from the Ancient Luna Clan, if you kill me, the experts of my clan will swiftly find out, and you'll all perish!"
Hearing him, Feng and Eshu simultaneously agreed to kill him to prevent unnecessary future problems. The mist figures approached even faster and hit him.
Just as they thought he was dead, a bright white glow came into view, and a silvery moon treasure seemed to protect Grant from death.
"Ancient Luna Clan, what is that? Is it strong? Can it be eaten?"
Long Hu's cold and sarcastic voice rang out, and a silhouette of him appeared in front of the moon-like treasure. With a loud snort, Long Hu slashed towards the moon, piercing through the treasure and killing Grant.
Feng naturally saw this non-chalant strike, it was his trademark blade technique Dimensional Slash, but a different version.
Feng ignored this and began to loot the corpses, he and the rest of the mercenaries had amassed quite a bit of fortune after raiding the corpses. Even the clothes weren't spared by Nisha and Iris.
However, as soon as they took them off, they instantly recognised the insignia on the robes.
"The Luna clan, however, these are only ordinary guards, go check the other guy,"
Iris walked over and similarly stripped the other guy of his robes, seeing the ten black moons on his robes. A bigger frown immediately descended on her face.
"It was like he was saying, a member of the Luna clan, but not an ordinary member," iris furrowed her brows in deep thought before finally continuing in shock. "I see now, he even said it, we shouldn't have killed him, I recognise him now, he's Grant Luna; nothing much, but his brother is the number one genius in the Luna Clan, Tai Luna, and his clan an Ancient Clan!"
Long Hu looked carefree even as she explained all this frantically. While Long Hu looked carefree, Feng had an excited look on his face.
"Hehe, Ancient Luna Clan Eh? This is gonna be fun!"
Saying this, he habitually licked his lips, leaving a stunned number of gazes on him.
