"Look at him. Under our joint attack, he is still as calm as a dove, as bold as a lion, and as strong and outstanding as the eagle. Shikan, let''s use our strongest form and kill him as fast as possible." Buma spoke telepathically to Shikan, the Fourth.


    "I can''t agree more, Second Brother," Shikan responded.


    Knowing that the two were talking secretly, Shadow ve spoke, "Are you done talking? Can we begin now?"


    Before he could even finish his words, the two had already dashed toward him and struck him with their weapons while using the best of their powers. Then, they started engaging in a fierce melee battle between the two vice-captains and Shadow ve.


    The ax-holder Shikan took the frontal strike while Buma would sneak a tricky attack at Shadow ve after every second. Shadow ve barely managed to block their joint attack while relying on his katana and also the ninja movement technique he inherited from Bobby.


    This continued for the next fifteen minutes and they separated, holding their vignce, nning for their next course of attack as Shadow ve managed to block each of their joint formation attacks.


    "What are you two waiting for? He''s breathless. Just finish him." KoKo Cha''s voice echoed from above in the sky.


    Bobby who had been watching all this time also added with a chuckle, "Yeah, it''s not much entertaining anymore. Just get it over with them." He directed his words to Shadow ve.


    This attracted KoKo Cha''s attention who was standing on the back of therge gray python''s back high above in the air, hiding within with a colossus white cloud. "Shut up, ve! It''s not your ce to talk." He scoffed and ignored him, turning his attention back to Shadow ve.


    At that moment, Shikan and Buma finally ignited their Gorgon bloodline into their soul weapons, making them turn rocky and shining white at the same time. Then, with a loud war cry, they swam, propelling toward Shadow ve at an extremely fast speed as they twirled their long tails against the ripple of the air resistance.


    "Fine!" Shadow ve muttered, "Twenty-five percent energy, activate!" Red katana shone even more brightly and buzzed making even the air around them vaporize.


    The two vice-captains felt a looming feeling of death. But they were like arrows that had already been released from the bows.


    Shadow ve shed the red katana horizontally just above his waistline. For a second, everything around them turned serene and the next thing, they were blown far away.


    The Shadow ve saw their bodies and soul weapons break apart into fine particles before they could cry out in pain. Thest strike sucked out all of his energy. So, he puked out blood three times. "Bluerp!" Then he handed on the dusty ground and crouched down in fatigue while sticking the katana on it to support his body.


    p! p! p!...<novelnext></novelnext>


    A rhythmic pping sound chimed in the surroundings and Koko Cha appeared standing on the ground not far away from Shadow ve. "Congrats, on killing two of my best men who were much stronger than yourself. And I guess it is because of this strange sword, right?" He said with a wide smile on his face.


    In a sh, he slithered closer to him and raised his long tail, pointing, his golden spear-tipped tip attached to the end of his tail. "Now you look all wasted…. Answer me correctly or I will slowly and excruciatingly kill you. This weapon; the red sword, is it something your master presented to you? Now, you are going to tell me where exactly he is?" Then looking around with his glinting brown eyes, he further questioned, "Is he somewhere around here?"


    Shadow ve puked out a mouthful of another ckened blood and responded while bursting into a peal of heartyughter, "Hahaha, oh man, this is getting funnier than I depicted. Bahaha… Alright-alright, I''ll tell you the truth in exchange for your telling me, did you happen to bring the red blood-stone my master needed?"


    "Humph! You''re still lusting after my thing even in this situation. Just die!" KoKo Cha said, sneering and trying to stab his pointy-spear tail into Shadow ve''s mouth.


    Suddenly, a gust of wind blew on their faces and a human youth was already there standing. When the needle-like tail''s tip was just a few centimeters from Shadow ve''s lips, Bobby pulled out the red katana and swatted it away with the t side of the de.


    Bang! From that impact, KoKo Cha was forced to move a couple of meters back.


    "Human scum, you dare!" KoKo Cha bellowed at the top of his lungs as ording to a noble-nagina''s point of view what Bobby was doing was sphemy and ridiculous ording to their teaching of Nagainas for countless generations. And this was the first time in his long life that a human acted like this.


    "Hahaha! Town leader KoKo Cha, didn''t you mention earlier about my master? Then, see for yourself this is my master I serve." Shadow ve said as he tried to stand up.


    Bobby took out ten blood capsules from the Purple Spatial Beast''s Eyeball and threw them into Shadow ve''s mouth. Within a second, Shadow ve regained a part of internal Origin Qi.


    "That''s enough! I''ll handle it from here. Just digest the blood pills and recuperate. Oh and stay beside La." Bobby said.


    "As you say, my liege!" Shadow ve responded in a servile tone. Then he slithered away toward La briskly.


    The drama between Bobby and Shadow ve took KoKo Cha by surprise as it was the first time he had seen a veteran martial expert like Juno act in such a subservient manner, nevertheless toward a human. It contradicted all their beliefs since humans were viewed as nothing more than pets on the Tenderloin Ex.


    "Wait!" Pointing his finger, KoKo Cha shouted, "Just what the fuck is that, Chieftain Juno? Taking a mere human as a master, huh, have you gone senile along with your age? Exin yourself."
