Chapter 946 Ma Tianxin

The 4 men in the Saint realm looked towards Alex, who had arrived with the eagle. They immediately frowned when they recognized trouble.

Alex looked at the group and was likewise surprised. “Blue Spring sect?” he spoke out. Pearl and Whisker arrived at the scene, but Alex thought it was too dangerous to keep them out, so he immediately sent them back into their beast space.

He stayed there carefully assessing the situation. Should he help the man on the ground? He felt pity and thought of helping, but then again, this wasn’t his place to interfere. He didn’t even know who these people were.

For all he knew, it could be that the bloodied man was a vile criminal that deserved what he got.

Still, his inner belief told him not to let a man die without ensuring he deserved it. So, Alex slowly trod forward, looking around for any hint he could get.

The wounded eagle immeidately dropped from his arm and flew to its master.

“Fellow Daoists, may I ask what is happening here?” Alex asked the 4 men in front of him.

“It is none of your business, leave!” one of the men said. From what he could tell, the man was quite old and stronger than the man on the ground.

There were almost 5 realms of difference between the two. Which made Alex confused because the man on the ground would have died already if the others wanted that to be the case.

“You are true that this is none of my business, but this little bird asked me to save its master. I would feel terrible if I left here without helping the poor man, should he deserve it.” he said. “May I know what crime he has committed for him to deserve this sort of punishment?”

The man on the ground coughed up blood and made a loud noise as he took in some air to his blood-filled lungs.

He grabbed onto the sword by his side and used it to pull himself up.

Alex looked at the bloody man with a bit of surprise as he hadn’t imagined him to have as much life in him anymore.

The man spit a mouthful of blood on the ground next to him and spoke, “you may try as much as you want, but I will not cancel my marriage proposal. That was something awarded to me as a prime disciple. If Ren Xiuyin wants to break off our engagement, then I will accept her request, but I won’t do it because some jealous bastards threaten me.”

Alex was a little taken aback. ‘This whole thing is because of an engagement?’ he thought.

“You don’t seem to understand, Ma Tianxin,” the man spoke. “You’re on death’s door. You will either cancel your engagement with fairy Xiuyin and speak an oath to never talk about what happened here, or you will die here, along with your pet and this witness.”

The man named Ma Tianxin noticed Alex too and sent a message directly to his mind. “Run away. They won’t dare kill the Sect master’s disciple like me, but you may die,” he said.

Alex smiled. He was more so surprised that the group here didn’t recognize him at all. ‘Maybe my fame isn’t as big as I had thought it to be,’ he thought.

He slowly walked forward. “I might have walked away had it been anything else, but it seems that you guys are very intent on killing me along with this young man, so I’m afraid I will have to side with him here,” he said.

He arrived next to the young man.

“No, go away. You can’t win against them. You will die,” the young man said.

Alex turned his head towards the young man and shook his head. “I’m afraid if I let you be, you will be the one that dies here,” he said. The young man was already starting to emit a bit of death aura around him as he was on death’s door already.

“These bastards,” the strongest man of the 4 suddenly used his technique to create a flame serpent that launched towards Alex.

Alex didn’t even turn as he snapped his finger. In an instant, the flame serpent dissipated into the air with not the slightest amount of fire aura remaining in the air anymore.

“I’m afraid you’ll have to use more than just fire in front of me,” Alex said.

The four men and the wounded young man in front of Alex were all shocked at the sudden turn of events. They didn’t see Alex use any technique, and yet somehow he had dismantled the flame serpents.

“Take care of yourself. I’ll take care here,” Alex said as he pat the young man on the back twice.

With the first pat, he took away all the death aura from the young man, in which instance the life aura that was natural to every living being took over, improving the young man’s healing.

That was something Alex had learned was possible from the memories of the Fourth Undying God who had also learned a Dao of death, and had instead used it to heal the wounds of the war victims.

For the second part, he poured in his Qi and suddenly used the teleportation dao to send the young man over 500 meters behind him.

The young man jumped at the random change in scenery. When he saw that he was quite far away from where he was before, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

“What… just happened?”

Alex stood in front of the 4 men and brought out a sword. Then he asked, “Are you still going to kill me, or are we going to go our separate ways?”

The group of men looked concerned. Not because Alex was strong, but because if they let Ma Tianxin leave, he would certainly tell the Sect master what had happened here, and at that point, they were as good as dead.

“Let’s kill him quickly. We can go after that bastard Ma afterward,” the leader said.

“Yes!” they all agreed. Suddenly, 10 different beasts appeared out of nowhere, 5 of which were in the Saint realm. That was quite a large amount in Alex’s eyes.

He got ready to fight and the humans and beasts started preparing their techniques to fire at Alex.

Alex saw the attacks being prepared and sighed. “Didn’t I just tell you? No fire,” he said. In the next second, the fire ability that was being prepared by one of the men suddenly exploded, sending everyone flying in a different direction.

The man who was preparing the attack lost half his arm as well.

Alex sighed when he saw that, but it wasn’t as big of a deal as it would’ve been for True realm cultivators.

Saint realm cultivators just had to go on a few years of closed cultivation to wait for their arms to grow back.

“Anyone wanna go again?” he asked.

“Brother, he knows some weird dao. We can’t fight against him,” one of the men said.

“But… can we really leave like this?” the leader asked.

“We can get him next time,” another man said.

“Argh! My arm. I need to heal,” the wounded man said. The beasts behind them were also in pain.

The leader showed a complicated emotion before turning around to leave.

Alex watched the leave and teleported right next to the young man that was applying for some medicine on himself.

“Geez! You scared me,” the young man took a deep breath.

‘Geez? A player?’ Alex thought.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Yes,” the young man said. “Thank you for saving my life. I can’t thank you–“

The young man stopped speaking mid-speech. Now that the threat had disappeared, he finally got to look at Alex carefully, and what he saw surprised him.

“It’s you!” he said.

“Yes, yes, it is me,” Alex said. He was used to it.

“I didn’t think I would meet you again, senior, let alone you would save me,” the young man said.

“Again? Have we met before?” Alex asked.

The young man quickly wiped his face of all the blood and looked back. “Do you not recognize me? We met back in the Endless Tunnel,” the young man said.

Alex looked at the face and at the Blue Spring sect robe. “Ohh! It’s you,” he finally remembered the group he got into a fight with back in the endless tunnel.

This young man was the one leading that group.
