The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara - Chapter 71

But just as it tried to comprehend what had happened, it saw its own headless body fall just in front of its face, and that was the moment it hit him; he had just been beheaded, but by who?

Dara behind him and found the expert he came with following directly behind his with a massive sword that was now coated in black Obun blood, he then gave a slight smirk before speeding up…

The Obun Elder was just about to land a bite on the supple skinned recently born baby in its hands when it saw Dara bolting over with pure hatred in his eyes;

Howl!

The First Obun Elder who was obviously incensed by the troubles and pain these humans had brought him today dropped the baby on the ground before nodding too its partner the Second Obun Elder as they both wielded what seemed like twin shabbily made black swords that was actually rough all over with serrated edges and bolted toward the advancing Dara;

“Leave these two to me; rescue that baby and then go find your sister!”

Dara blurted at the expert rushing that came with him as he saw the two Obun Elders leap into the air before descending with a vicious hacking towards Dara from different difficult angle…

Dara saw four bad serrated swords headed for hi from four different angles and instantly knew that there was no way he could evade these strikes, as he opted for using a soft style fighting technique with the difference being the fact that he wasn’t bare handed…

Dara side stepped from the angrier First Obun Elder who he was sure had more power in his attack, but that simply placed him in the direct path of the Second Obun Elder’s attack;

Clang!

Dara took the attack head on with a block, but the disparity in length, girth and durability between his dagger and the Obun Elder’s twin swords was very apparent as Dara was blasted backwards, tumbling over twenty meters, whilst the angry First Elder leapt into the air once again and without waiting for Dara to stop or balance himself, it hacked down at him viciously…

Dara in his tumbling motion caught a glimpse of this First Elder’s attacks, and instantly, he stamped both hands into the ground and borrowed the momentum of his tumble to do a backflip that simply pushed him about three meters further than where he was supposed to stop; Luckily for him, those three meters proved vital as the First Elder’s twin sword landed just about a meter from his legs;

But the moment he escaped from the First Elder’s attack, the Second Elder abruptly appeared from behind the First Elder, stomped on his partner’s back and hack towards Dara once again who quickly rolled to the side;

Bang!

The sword lodged itself into the ground, and as if expecting Dara to make such a move, this Second Elder abandoned the twin swords instantly before kicking aggressively at Dara who could only cross his arms in front of his face to prevent it from being smashed by an aggressive kick;

Boom! Howl!

Though, the Second Elder kicked Min Hong, sending him tumbling about another ten meters, it still howled in agony as it felt like it had kicked a 1000 ton rock, except this one felt like pure lead…

Its foot twisted in an odd angle, and Dara himself sustained a heavy injury since the bones in his arm had now cracked slightly;

“One star Qi Creation Stage!?”

“How!?” Dara blurted in shock;

The power behind the Second Elder’s kick was almost as powerful as his strongest blow, and he had a battle prowess equivalent to a 2 Star Qi Creation stage, and if the Second Elder was this strong, then what about the angry First Elder?

Dara thanked his stars for opting to evade the First Elder’s attacks and blocking that of the Second Elder’s because, if he was to follow the power trend, then the First Elder would definitely be stronger than the Second Elder which meant he should be in the 2 Star Qi Creation stage or 3 Stars…

Furthermore, with the First Elder being in such an incensed state, then its vicious attacks would obviously be equivalent to the power level of a 3 or 4 Star Qi Creation stage…

Dara rapidly weighed his options since these two Obun Elders were playing tag on him, and from the way things were looking, it was efficiently working as they had already used him to mop the village ground almost three times now in the timespan of about two minutes;

He was clearly at a disadvantage and Sam’s military battle tactics weren’t doing SHIT!

“Damn! My hand hurts like hell!”

Dara lamented as he felt a level of pain he had never felt before in his life;

‘But how can these guys possess so much power in such a place!?’

Dara almost had a question mark hanging over his head as he was still befuddled by these Obun’s level of power…

“Ha-ha ha… Y-yhu peoshple kilshed muy shon… Hai shll bleedsch theesh villagshe drai!”

[Ha-ha ha… Y-you people killed my son… I shall bleed this village dry!]

The First Elder who impressively still had the cognitive capability of speaking stunned Dara and despite speaking in unclear tongues, Dara could still understand, after all, this was the kind of language he was also speaking about 7 years ago…

“Killed your son!?”

Dara was stunned once again, as he remembered the Obun Leader he had killed the last time that was rambling something about Lord Ru ordering them to come gather their head and stuffs…

“Was that your son!?” “And how in the hell did you know I killed him!?”

Dara fumed towards the First Elder, trying to get more information out of him, if he could…

But the First Elder simply stretched his left hand towards Dara and opened his palm to reveal some ancient rune which seems to have be burnt into his palm, and with all intent and purposes, it was the exact replica of the one the Obun Leader he killed back then had in his palm…

Then to Dara’s dismay, the First Elder bit its finger and slashed the blood across that mark, and instantly, the area around this rune rippled and then Dara could see a clear video of not only his face, but the way his demeanor was when he shot the arrow that killed the Third Obun Elder a while ago appearing on the First Elder’s;

“My face sure looks handsome in that clip, but that was that guy, not your son!

Dara pointed at the Third Elder as he continued to push his luck, then the Second Elder stepped forward and pointed at Dara, made a killing motion with its thumb across its neck, before pointing to himself, then the palm and then the Third Obun Elder;

It then shook its head sideways before pointing at himself and nodding…

Dara frowned in curiosity, he seemed to understand these guys language as he replayed the Second Elder’s actions to decode the message;

“I kill you, your palm not your Third Elder, you Yes!?”

Dara decoded the message but they still sounded wrong in his head and mouth, as he rearranged the message once again;

“I kill you- oh the video!”

“The video is not the Third Elder but you!?”

It sounded a little more plausible this time, but Dara still decided to simplify it more as he wracked his brain;

“If I kill you, the video isn’t the Third’s but yours!?”

“Oh snap, I got it!”

“If I kill you, the thirds image wouldn’t appear in that scene but yours, which meant only the latest death amongst you ranks would appear!”

The he saw them nod their heads as Dara realized that the moment he killed the Obun Leader back then, it must have intentionally stretched its palm for him to see it well, so that his own people would see the face of the person who killed it…

“Fantastic technique, but that only brings me more question and no answers;”

“How are you people who are presumed to have no intelligence even develop a technique?”

Dara asked but the First Elder only got angrier;

“Oh, that hurt your feelings!?”

Dara asked tauntingly as he looked to his side and saw two swords beside a dead random villager; he rolled to the side, grabbed it, looked up only to be greeted by four diagonal sword slashes aimed towards his flanks;

Clang!

The attacks landed simultaneously with as Dara’s arms were pressed inwardly since he was using the sword on his left hand to block the attack from the First Elder, whilst doing the same to the Second Elder with the sword on his right hand…

The two elders then pressed their swords downwards, withal their strength, pressing it onto Dara, whose arms were resisting more force than they can handle, and in that light, the bones in his arms cracked further about another half an inch, meaning the bones in Dara’s arms were only an inch away from breaking completely…

But luckily for him, the First Elder seemed to find a decent opening as in Dara’s exposed chests, and sent a vicious kick into it;

Bang!

Dara tumbled like a barrel that fell on a highway, his figure punched several holes and gullies on the village ground to the extent that when he eventually ground to a halt, the center of his ribcage was already an inch away from splitting apart, he rose his heard up and;

Blergh!

Coughed out three mouthfuls of fresh blood, and now he was winded…

He looked up through his blurry eyes and saw the figure of the two elders dashing over once again and the only reaction he had was to lie flat on his back, as the sword slash from two Obun Elders slashed past the empty air, only inches away from his forehead…

Dara’s vision was greeted by the fall of some strand of hair which he realized were actually his own, because the sword slash which the Obun Elders had decided to use for beheading him ended up taking his hair instead…

Then he sprung to his feet and turned around to look at them with a mischievous grin;

“You two have done enough- Now it’s my turn!” He bellowed at them…
