Bloody Emperor - Chapter 15 Blue And Black At Nigh

“I will not lose him to her!” Xun Lan made a determined expression and clenched both hands in fists.

“Who is he?” Xun He came in the door and asked his daughter who she didn’t want to lose because he already imagined who ‘her’ was.

“Ah, Dad! Since when were you spying on me behind the door?” Xun Lan looked like a child caught in the act.

“I went to the bathroom but heard your footsteps and whispers it was hard to resist coming to take a look at what could take my daughter’s sleep.” Xun He looked at his daughter with a curious and playful look.

“Hump…” Xun Lan turned and crossed his arms and scowled. This was to be considered a bad attitude, but Xun He found everything about his beautiful daughter to be perfect, as she was very much like her mother.

“Maybe it’s something about a young man with white hair?” Xun He, as the leader of the second-largest family in the city, would not be uninformed. But in fact, it was Xun Feng who told everything very quickly, and his informants did not add any new information about the stranger named Nero.

“He is a good person. Believe me. I feel in my heart that he is special.” Xun Lan defended Nero so quickly that Xun He already knew it was too late to try to chase them away.

“I didn’t say that I have anything against it. But what about going to the Black Sword Sect?” Xun He could already predict what his daughter would say he just wanted to confirm.

“You know … Feng doesn’t want to leave you, and he even likes this boring small town.” Xun Lan spoke with cute puppy eyes and hands together as if she were praying.

“He would gladly follow you. To protect you, he would abandon his wishes. You have a good brother, and you should be more grateful to him.” Xun He was just giving his point of view, but he knew it was useless to try to convince his daughter, which as stubborn as her mother.

“I think the best thing for him would be to go with me to the Black Sword Sect, but he has to want it too. Maybe Elder Xiong can take the three of us.” Xun Lan had a hopeful look as everything was as easy as in her plans.

“So you think you are already Elder Xiong’s choice, and he would easily agree to take you with your brother and boyfriend?” Xun He spoke calmly but showed a smile when he saw Xun Lan blush when he said ‘boyfriend.’ Xun He was a father who loved to tease his daughter to see her making different expressions.

“Nero is the strongest of all! How could he not be so amazing being the man I chose?” Xun Lan had not yet seen Nero fight, and Xun He knew this from his sources, but even so, she was sure he was incredible. She was wrong about many things about him, but about him being too strong was not a mistake.
for visiting.

“Yes, Yes. Of course, my daughter wouldn’t choose anyone. But what about him? Will he accept to be yours so easily?” Xun He liked to talk to his daughter even though it was about boys. He knew how difficult it was for adults to have a good relationship with young people.

“He just needs a little push to realize that I will treat him better than anyone.” Xun Lan showed a mischievous smile.

“…” Xun He didn’t know what to say.

“I can’t sleep now with so many thoughts. Can I go out to get some air?” Xun Lan just wanted to run to tire her body and relax without any ulterior motives.

“Okay, but don’t go too far and take someone as a bodyguard.” Xun He was already accustomed to his daughter leaving the house whenever he wanted, and he was always sure that she was well accompanied when she left at night.

“Thanks, Dad! Love you.” Xun Lan kissed his father on the cheek and ran like a happy little deer.

Xun Lan thought that going for an evening walk could sleep better. But that night she would see things that would hinder her from sleeping for decades.

“Oy! Who owns this big mansion?” Just before entering the Dai Family mansion, Wei Ping saw a white-haired man wearing an all-black outfit walking towards him with a curious look.

“Who are you, boy?” Wei Ping asked in a polite tone as he had never heard of anyone like this stranger in the city, so it must be someone newcomer, and he didn’t want to risk offending anyone he doesn’t know.

“Ah! Sorry about my manners. My nam-” Wei Ping was opening the iron gate. One of the henchmen was on the street and the other on the sidewalk holding Marie by the foot. Nero walked slowly towards them while asking about the mansion, but when less than a meter from the man on the street, he jumped on him with all the speed he could and twisted the neck of the poor man who did not understand how he died.

*Crack*

Wei Ping and the other henchman heard the man’s neck-breaking so fast that they still felt like the stranger was in the same spot a meter away from the man who was now dead.

*Bang*

Then the stranger took his hands off the head of the man who fell lifeless on the floor. And just as easily a Qi Refinement sixth layer cultivator died. One of the strongest people in the city and an essential part of the strength of the Dai family. But it was all thanks to Nero catching them off guard as they did not expect a young man to attack them out of nowhere.

“It won’t be that easy now. Take off your overcoat because I don’t want you to destroy it.” Sarah advised Nero, who then slowly took off his overcoat while facing Wei Ping and the other man who still couldn’t digest the scene.

“Who are you?! What the hell do you want?!” Wei Ping was very worried about the situation as he had never lost a henchman that way so quickly and for no apparent reason.

Wei Ping, who once had a hundred questions for that stranger, now had a thousand. What did he want? Where he came from? Who was he? How did he kill the man so fast? Why did he seem to have a speed that even I couldn’t keep up with? And all this looking very young?

The whole scene was still not more than five seconds after Nero appeared from the shadows asking questions. Then he slowly threw the black overcoat on the sidewalk and looked like a gangster in clandestine fights with a black dress shirt and a red vest over it.

“I want your life. But first, some desperation is acceptable.” Nero gave Wei Ping a sharp look that made him shiver in the back.

Nero was fighting a lot against the urge to open his mouth and show his fangs to threaten Wei Ping as if it were an instinct when he encountered a strong enemy.

“Before you killed my friend, we had no grudge between us. Why do that? Do you even know who I work for?” Wei Ping thought Nero had lesser strength or similar to him and only managed to kill the man by catching him off guard. But he couldn’t risk it, so he wanted to try the same thing as the stranger by asking questions and then catching him off guard.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Nero dodged the punch with a blue mist that Wei Ping tried to throw at him, but when he lowered Wei Ping quickly turned his body and punched again this time vertically trying to hit Nero down, but he dodged to the side even faster.

“It’s the same blue mist. This man must have taught this martial technique to the boy you fought in the forest.” Sarah spoke the same words that Nero thought when he saw the blue mist and remembered the boy at the top of the tree.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Nero kept avoiding the punches, so Wei Ping started to kick, also using the blue mist on his feet. That was a martial technique that transformed Qi into a blue mist that looked malleable but was quite hard and heavy that did severe damage when in contact with the target.

“Someone already tried to hit me with this blue mist, and it didn’t end well for him…” After dodging so many times looking like he was kidding, Nero talked about the boy in the forest to provoke Wei Ping.

“What did you do to him?!” Nero was pleased with Wei Ping’s worried reaction. He wanted to make this man who was mistreating his beloved little fox suffer long before killing him.

“Ah, oh… I had a lot of fun with him.” Nero spoke evasively and with a strange intonation when he said ‘fun.’

“Arrgg! If you did anything to him, I would kill you painfully!” Wei Ping was very upset by Nero’s words because the only people he passed the Blue Mist martial technique to were his son and grandson, but only his grandson was alive, and he feared that Nero would have found him and done him some harm.

“Someone has already died painfully, and someone today is also going to die painfully, but it won’t be me.” Nero dodged easily without even using all his speed because Wei Ping had already lost control and was fighting brutally and unclearly because of his anger.

But even with the speed advantage, Nero felt an instinctive fear of Blue Mist’s heavy blows, believing that he would not be able to resist even if he took a single direct hit. He wanted to tire Wei Ping until he was out of Qi to continue holding Blue Mist so he would trade blows with him. But Nero was not very optimistic about the other henchman staying out of the fight for long or even reinforcements arriving as they were in front of the mansion that seemed to be the base of these men.

The henchman after digesting the death of his companion was very angry with the stranger who appeared out of nowhere and attacked them, but everything was so fast that he soon started to fight with Wei Ping, his superior and the strongest cultivator of the Dai Family even stronger that the leader of the family. Wai Ping was second only to Dai Dong’s wife, who traveled away from Abun more than two years ago.

The poor man looked at the flashes of blue and black down the street, not knowing what to think. At first, he believed that Wei Ping would win quickly because the stranger only managed to kill his companion by luck by catching him with his guard down, so his strength had to be less than them.

But soon, the henchman’s eyes widened in disbelief because the more Wei Ping and the stranger fought, the more they looked equal in strength. The poor man had high cultivation compared to the people of Abun, but he was clearly quite stupid as he did not know the difference between strength and speed, not realizing that Nero was only dodging and not exchanging direct blows with Wei Ping.

But after ten minutes of this black and blue dance, Wei Ping started to ignore Nero’s taunts about his grandson. So focusing more on analyzing the fight, he realized that he hadn’t hit Nero once, and he didn’t hit him either. It didn’t take long for him to think that Nero had a movement martial technique but was no stronger than him.

Wei Ping first thought of asking the henchman to help him, but he would not be able to follow the speed they were now, and the stranger could just run away. Then he thought about sending the man to call for reinforcements as they were close to home. Several men would soon arrive and surround the stranger preventing him from running away.

“What are you waiting for there, you idiot? Go and ask for help while I hold this stranger here.” Wei Ping could not speak his plan out loud, so he tried in every way to give signals to the henchman who did not take long to understand because Wei Ping was not very subtle.

“It took him a while to understand that it was to call for backup. Will those who come also be stupid like that?” Nero, who had already noticed the signs since the beginning, cannot help provoking Wei Ping about the capabilities of his henchmen.

“Do you know that soon you will be surrounded, but you are still not running away? I know you are not stronger than me, and you are just lucky to have this movement technique.” Wei Ping was worried for a second after hearing that Nero already knew his plans but soon remembered that he only had speed.

“I came to her. So I won’t leave here without my little fox and your head no matter what.” Nero spoke decisively and prepared to use his trump card before reinforcements arrived.
