"Leave my sister alone, she didn't do anything to you". At that moment, the little girl with adorable brown eyes and a fiery temper blurted out as she glared at the horse riding youth. His name was Katsuragi Kai. He was a disciple of the Katsuragi clan that Lucas had heard of recently.
Her younger sisters outburst caused Lily's face to turn solemn. She didn't think her younger sister would be so audacious. Naturally that was mainly because her sister was ignorant and they had been living on the streets for a long time. The horse riding youth was momentarily stunned before laughing out loud like a maniacal madman.
"I never though I would ever see anyone who is bold enough to talk back to me like that, and none other than a lowly street rat".
The disdainful words caused Lily to boil with anger, her sister was a reverse scale that she had, however no matter how angry she was, she maintained her rationality as well as her anger. More like she couldn't do anything even if she let her anger out.
The young man in front of her was most likely a disciple of one of the three clans in Blackburn city. Put aside the fact that he might possess an even more frightening background, just his strength alone was something she might not be able to stand up against. After all she had only managed to break through to the first level of the Dawn tier grade.
"Today, I will show you what happens to street rats who dare to run their mouths anyhow". Horror dawned on Lily's face as the horse riding youth jumped down from his horse with a sinister smirk. It was apparent he was going to make a move on her.
"Today, if I don't kill you, I will definitely cripple your core point so you won't event think about cultivating in the future after I beat you up". Following those words, Kai, the horse riding disciple made his move as he slapped out his palm out to hit lily. He didn't use any martial techniques as he was certain that trash like this woman and her sister were not even worthy of him using his full strength.
The old man sitting on the horse didn't interfere as he sat there with an indifferent expression. To him, he had seen this youth do many similar things and he couldn't be bothered by it anyway. However, what happened made his fave turn grave.
"Die!". Kai was definitely planning on killing these two girls as he intense to kill them both with a single strike. His strength was at the fourth stage of the Dawn tier grade, however a cold snort sounded before his ears and a whooshing sound was heard before a figure appeared before the two people who he intended to get rid of.
The figure swept out his legs in a reverse spin and struck towards the incoming palm strike as he calmly said, "Crash Kick".
Bang!
The kick and palm strike landed on each other and the disdainful sneer on the horse riding disciples face abruptly changed. He retracted his palm and took two steps backwards while his gaze turned cold at the figure who was standing in his way. "You want to kill two defenseless people because they were in your way, and you call yourself a disciple of a clan, tsk.. Tsk.. How embarrassing for you".
Gasp, Gasp, gasp.
At this moment, the crowd gasped aloud as they looked at the unfolding scene. Naturally, they gasped at how someone would actually stand up to block the attack of Katsuragi Kai, a disciple from the Katsuragi clan. Kai was infamous around the city because of his arrogant character even though his strength wasn't too good. This was all due to the fact that his father was an elder in the Katsuragi clan and his backing gave him the opportunity to wantonly do as he pleased. Because of this, most people would avoid him to avoid nurturing enmity with the Katsuragi clan, however a youth that looked to be about the same age had actually stopped him from killing two beggars.
Its not like they were pleased with this arrogant kids character or they liked him in any way, but his backing was just not something they could go against. To them, this youth that stood in his way was heaping trouble on his own head. Not to mention that the old man behind kai on the horse was a strong bodyguard who hadn't made his move yet.
In any case, this young man was certainly doomed. Looking at Lucas's standing silhouette, Kai's eyes that were filled with terrifying coldness eased up as he started again with that maniacal laughter. "I don't know who you are, but because of your actions today, you are dead meat for sure. Since you dare to touch me, I will show you the true meaning of suffering. If you think that i was using my full strength earlier, then you are gravely mistaken".
At that moment, Kai released his core energy without restraint, the energy poured out if his body made his long robe that made him look like a fetish priest flutter. His eyes had hints of condescending coldness and an ugly smirk was visible on his ordinary appearance.
"He is a level six cultivator of the dawn tier grade".
"This young man is doomed, how pitiful of him a stand up for those two behind him".
"The Katsuragi clan is very good at nurturing their disciples, since Kai Katsuragi's father is an elder in the clan, his strength is pretty good even if it can't be considered as being top notch".
"You think its easy to progress in cultivation, if it were so, why do you think the guards at the main gate only have a cultivation base at the 10th level of the dawn tier grade?"
"That's right, they have hit the limit that their natural talent will allow them to. Having this strength at almost 20 can already be considered good at his age".
Upon listening to the discussions around him, Lucas's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the two behind him and indifferently spoke. " Take your sister and leave now, make a life for yourselves". After that he turned to face Katsuragi Kai and said.
"Some people really know how to make noise, let's see if you have the capability to do as you have said".
Seeing the situation, Lily who had eyes of gratitude sneakily took her sister and left. Now the crowd was watching both young men who were standing off in a showdown. " Very good... Since you want to go to hell, let me send you off".
At that moment, he finally made his move, he dashed forward with his billowing robe and clenched his hands into fists as he charged towards Lucas who was standing there unmoved.
"What's with the inhabitants of this world, do they really have no skill at all?"
Faced with the incoming attack, Lucas was inwardly baffled by the fact that the fighting skills of this world looked inferior to what he had learned in his old world. The only difference would be the increase in strength but there was no profoundness in their so called techniques.
In this kind of world, the difference in strength between each level was not earth shattering so therefore to him, skill could overcome the bridge between levels. Seeing Lucas still standing not planning to make a move, Kai smirked as he thought that Lucas was stunned at his increase in strength. "Never would he think that i, Katsuragi kai am actually at the sixth level of the dawn tier grade".
He charged forward as he frantically yelled. "Double Dragon subduing fist".
"Shit, its actually the unranked intermediate martial technique double dragon subduing fist. This kid is really unlucky".
"I heard that kai had broken through to the sixth level of the dawn tier grade a few days ago. This young man is very unfortunate".
....
"Hump, with a complete waste of my time". As the two fists were about to smash against him, Lucas replied coldly as he fell backwards. It looked like he had been so stunned that he tripped accidentally making Kai to smirk. However Lucas who looked like he was falling supported himself with his left hand as he was about to touch the ground. Then he thrust his right leg upward and aimed for the shoulder joint on Kai's arm.
He merely kicked out with the basic skill "Crash kick" from his previous life. The smile on Kai's face froze abruptly and was replaced with horror. Even the old man who was sitting on the horse watching the show had a grave expression.
"Stop!" However he was still too late.
Kacha!
Sounds of breaking bones followed by a loud shrill scream filled the air. The arrogant Katsuragi kai who seemed extremely domineering had been sent flying with a single move and a broken shoulder. The old man sitting on the horse immediately leaped off into the air and caught Kai who had already passed out from the pain.
As he landed on the floor, he saw blood oozing out from the shoulder joint and armpit belonging to kai. He shuddered in fear and immediately looked at the young man who didn't even move half a step from his original position.
At this moment, the entire crowd had gone silent. There was nothing that could be said at a time like this. Only the old mans voice broke through the dense silent atmosphere. "How dare you cripple the shoulder of young master Kai of the Katsuragi clan, do you think the Katsuragi clan would let you off. No more importantly, do you think that you would be able to escape from me now".
The old man had high traces of killing intent located in his gaze. He was about to pounce on Lucas when Lucas replied nonchalantly.
"Well, I guess you would have to choose between your young masters arm or me then".
