Dual Sword God

Chapter 25 - A Toast To New Friendship

A week later.

Within the Bright Flame Kingdom, Approaching Winter:

There a was an unusual rumor going around, a ridiculous tale that seemed to have spread to even the most remote of kingdoms. In response to this rumor, the various kinds of countries and emperors decided to quell this news through means of distractions such as advertising popular social activities and other forms of diversions.

Eventually, there remained only a few that held on to their stubborn views as the majority began to forget this strange and odd rumor. Within a crowded tavern, a few individuals sat around a relatively large table, each of them carrying a unique kind of bearing as they discussed amongst themselves.

In a quiet and remote corner, three individuals were sitting, having talks of their own.

"Hiss, it's so cold here... to think that even by revolving my essence energy I'm not able to fully keep it from bothering me," A brawny youth said while shivering.

"Well, we are nearby that rumored, 'Mount Tydol' after all. You just have to suck it up and stop acting like such a p**sy." A pretty looking female said as she jeered at the youth in a manner unbecoming of practitioner decorum.

"Chet! No wonder they say you're 'cold-blooded.' Keep this kind of attitude, and you won't be getting any men in the future!" The youth sharply retorted.

"YOU---!" It seems that the little beauty's nerve was about to slip, but, before she could counterattack, there was a loud commotion.

BANG! A table was broken to pieces as a skinny man was blasted hard on the ground. The man who assaulted the skinny fellow was a large guy with piercings in each ear, carrying a large beard and a bald head. Seated beside him were four other individuals who looked towards the fallen man with mock and ridicule on their faces.

Suddenly, all of the conversations stopped, and the crowd within the tavern became silent as each observed this scene with keen interest. The big man seeing the scenario decided to demonstrate his prestige. He got up and pointed at the skinny man on the floor.

"Mother Fu**er! How dare you continue to spout that kind of bullshit in front of this 'Daddy's' face?" He roared to gather all attention to himself.

"Cough! Cough! I... I'm really telling the truth. I really did see a large demon appear for a brief moment, only to get cut apart by some weapon. It wasn't only me either, there were many other individuals close to the scene after all." After spitting a mouthful of blood, the skinny man tried to make his statement known.

Hearing his words, the surrounding listeners started to lose interest as they mocked him, before continuing their own business.

"Hahaha! It looks like we've got another one over here. Do these people believe this nonsense?" A guy said while a holding his belly.

"It looks like they are here to create a scene, could this be an act to gather attention to their views? I must say that baldly is quite the talent." Another mocked.

The youths seated at the corner table looked on with interest as they started to converse once more.

"Do you believe that strange story?" The brawny youth said to the pretty girl while showing a puzzled look.

"Hmph! I think it's a bunch of bogus crap that was spread by the officials of this small affiliate kingdom. It's no wonder they are doing this, after all, how could they even manage to garner any of our clan's interests?" The beauty spouted harshly as she snorted in disdain towards the kingdom.

Another youth sat silently amongst the two with his eyes closed and in silent meditation, as if the current happenings were not worth his attention. But suddenly, he opened his sharp eyes and looked towards the entrance of the tavern. It was as if his vision could pierce through the walls seeing what was outside.

The guy and girl seeing this youth's reaction instantly became solemn.

"Brother Zang, is something wrong?" The pretty looking girl asked with confusion shown on her face.

"..." The youth continued to look at the door in silence.

The bald ruffian hearing this was instantly angered further, he looked at the man with raw killing intent.

"Good! Good!! Good!!! Son of a b-tch! You made these people group us up together! Because of your bullshit, prepare to die!!" Just as the man was about to unleash the wrath of heaven, another interrupter appeared or rather two interrupters.

Step! Step!

Due to the silence within the tavern, two loud footsteps were heard originating from its entrance as two youths appeared.

They were both wearing tattered clothing and in bad shape, as the slightly older and stronger looking young man was filled with leg scars that were visible through his torn-up pants. He was also wearing a dirty sleeveless shirt, while the younger looking youth that had long red hair was wearing a ripped-up undershirt with torn up pants.

The bald man, seeing these two individuals, was suddenly surprised but quickly recovered, and a vicious expression overtook his face.

"Who the hell do you think you are to interrupt this daddy's business? You bunch of filthy looking beggars' better get out my sight immediately!" He shouted as he raised his hand threateningly towards the two haggard youths.

Looking at the silly man who shouted in rage because of their sudden appearance, both Feng Yu and Hui Ying were surprised.

After a short period of time, they no longer paid any attention towards the man as they continued to walk past the scene towards a table in the same corner as the trio observing them.

The bald man, seeing them ignore him, was so upset his face started to change color. He changed his target of aggression directly towards these infringers.

"You dirty beggars dare to ignore me! Die!" He lunged forward with all his might to break them to pieces with his palms moving like a blur as his essence power skyrocketed, reaching the early stages of 9 Tier Body Training realm.

Feeling the energy rushing towards them, Feng Yu frowned. His face instantly became several degrees colder as he raised his hand towards the approaching bald guy's forehead with his thumb and middle finger curled together.

"GET! -LOST!!" As if the voice came from the asura himself, a dense wave of killing intent rushed towards the bald cultivator which made him falter in his movements coming to a pause before both Feng Yu and Hui Ying.

Pow! Whoosh!!

With a flick of his finger, Feng Yu sent the man soaring through the air as he was knocked back through the entrance colliding, a couple of meters away, with a distant boulder.

"Hissing......" As if well-coordinated, the observers took a deep breath as they witnessed the scene.

Following this, Hui Ying sent glances towards those lackeys seated at the large table. Upon seeing his look, the lackeys quickly scurried about soon leaving the tavern and the messy desk.

Hui Ying mocked "Hmph! A bunch of trash seeking nothing but trouble."

Feng Yu smiled warily as he pointed towards the table beside the strange trio, "Haha! Brother Ying! How about that table in the corner?"
