I open the door holding a dagger in my hand and there stood Dang Hyuk, standing behind five guards.
Climbing my way up I realized that this guards were in no way related to the Dang Clan.
Dang Hyuk must have hired them.
There was one more guard I hadn’t noticed earlier standing at the edge.
He was a Late Peak Martial Expert.
Five Early Peaks and One Late Peak huh?
I look straight at Dang Hyuk who I noticed was quite scared and with a low voice I ask him.
He said nothing as he kept looking at me.
I look around as I step into the room trying to find Rin.
"Where is she!?" I ask him again this time my voice sharper.
He flinches a little at my voice.
"You...what are you?" He asks me.
"Didnt you just awaken your dantian a few weeks ago?" He asks further.
"I asked you a question Dang Hyuk." I say to him as I take a step towards them now my anger more visible.
"Hold her down!" He yells.
After hearing the screams of their colleagues from the lower floors the guards were hesitant.
Due to their hesitancy I decided to give some mercy to them at least.
"Drop your weapons and leave now and I won’t go after you." I say to them.
It looked like they were going to before the Late Peak stepped forward.
"None shall cower." He says with bold voice.
"I don’t know what sorcery she must have used but she is just a little girl, those oth... ugh!.."
I throw the dagger in my hand stabbing him right in the head cutting him off as he spoke.
He dropped to the floor dieing on the spot.
I was a little excited inside as I screamed within me;
"Fuck, what was that? am I still a child?" I question myself as I smack my face with my bloodied hands.
I turn back my gaze to the other guards who were now whimpering.
Their legs and arms trembling in fear.
"Pl... please" They pleaded as they dropped their weapons.
I wanted to kill them all, I really wanted to, my heart was craving more blood.
Is this an effect of The Phantom Technique and The Heavenly Demon Technique merging?
I close my eyes and tell them to leave.
I open my eyes and the room was completely empty and in the middle stood Dang Hyuk.
"What issues could you have possibly had with me that would make you involved a little child?" I ask him as I take a step towards him.
"I wanted to talk" He replies as he puts his hand in his robe.
"And this was the way to do so?" I ask him furiously.
"You refused my kind gesture when I offered." He says to me.
"And for what reason am I obliged to answer you when you call." I ask him as I keep walking towards him.
"Because I am the first son of the Patriarch of the Dang Clan, and no one dares ignore me.
I don’t know why you are so strong but, dont think for once that I’ll be scared of you and back away." He say to me as he pulls out long needles from his robes.
They were one of the signature weapons of the Dang Clan.
Sharp, slim, long needles laced with poison.
He throws them at me.
I dodge them and he dashes at me with a dagger in hand.
For a First Rate he is quite good.
I grab his hand as he tries to slash at me stopping him in his tracks.
"I’ll ask you for the last time, where is Rin."
He doesn’t reply but hits me in the guts with his knee.
I release him and step back a little.
This bastard, I would have killed him already but I need to know where Rin is.
I dash towards him with my left fist going for a punch to his face.
He paries my left hand and I switch into a heavy uppercut to his jaw.
It hits heavily and he falls back a few steps.
He staggers trying to stand up.
"Where is Rin?" I ask him as I walk towards him.
He barely gets up on his feet, his back bent over as he tries to look up.
I swing at him with the back of my left hand hitting his left cheek.
He staggers a little.
I slap him again and this time he drops to his knees.
I grab him by the collar with one hand and keep slapping him with the other as I keep asking him:
A few seconds later, his whole face was swollen.
And this bastard has refused to speak.
"Arrghhh!!!!" I scream out in frustration as I switch from slapping to punching him in the face.
I kept punching and punching.
His nose broken, his blood all over my fist.
"Pl.." He tries to speak as I hit him again.
"Please...stop... I’ll..." He keeps trying to talk but my head was too wrapped up in my emotions I kept punching him not realizing he was trying to talk to me.
I was about to deal one more blow when I hear a loud bold voice barging into the room.
"Stop Right There!" The voice said.
He stood before me as I held his bloodied son by one hand.
His face showed a mixture of rage, sadness, pity and restraint.
"Let him go!" The Patriarch says out.
From his voice I could tell he was trying to hold himself back.
But why should I care about that.
I was pissed, I was frustrated, this bastard dared to touch my people, My People!!
"And why would I do that?" I ask him, my voice deep and low, my eyes glaring sharp into his eyes.
Before I knew what was happening I felt a hit on my abdomen sending me crashing into the wall.
He was fast, too fast for a Late Peak, this is the difference between Martial Artists of Prestigious Families.
I fall to my knees after crashing into the wall.
"I see" I say as I rise to my feet, my hair began flaring and truly turning Red.
The dark aura from David’s Phantom Technique grew thicker.
"Dang Woon! You dared to go against me?" I say to the Patriarch as I began walking towards him.
He stood in front of his son, Dang Hyuk as if protecting him.
I kept walking towards him ready to strike him down at any moment.
