Leader Of The Black Lotus (2)

 

 

 

"Well, oh... you're 'Juvenile Blade's' father? The one that I... got to kill?" Yun Beishang slowly and even somewhat carefully spoke, truly, when asking a father whether or not his daughter really did sent someone to kill him... ah, this wasn't right.

Needless to say, the young woman's father wasn't showing any hostility, rivalry or simply hate; from being 'challenged' for whatever this 'please, kill my father' situation derived from. In fact, the middle-aged youthful man simply smiled genuinely with his slightly large lips and contentedly said in a gentle tone to Yun Beishang: "Do not be too thoughtful, this... is but a tradition."

Yun Beishang immediately responded casually and lackadaisically after flashing a pout with his lower lip exposing itself: "Oh, so it's one of those."

"Eh? 'One of those'...? What does Little Beishang refers to, ah?"

"...Cough, ahem. I meant to say, well you know, 'it's a tradition' kind of excuse and... all that...(?)."

"W-wha-what? I... I don't... I don't understand..." Slightly confused, the middle-aged man tried to be polite and respectful as he simply just couldn't understand to what Little Beishang referred to.

Yun Beishang's response to this situation was to simple cough and look to the side: "...Cough!"

The middle-aged man, letting it go, shook his head before speaking once more: "W-whatever, it's fine. Look, young man. My name, is Fusi, as for my daughter? Her name is Sam..."

Step-step.

Having said until there, Fusi went forward at Yun Beishang before placing the back of his hand right besides his lips as he whispered to Yun Beishang: "...but you can call her Sammy, her eyes sparkle whenever she talks of you! Hehehe, what is good if not to be young, ah?"

Yun Beishang: "..."

"Cough, cough. Okay-alright, you've come prepared, I assume?" Fusi didn't deliberately tried to wing man -?- his daughter as he then resumed a stern and imposing stance, his demeanor changing didn't made any fluctuations on Yun Beishang to go off nor made his heart beat quicker, which impressed Fusi quite a lot.

"Yes, I, uh... have to kill you?"

"Hahaha! Indeed, kill me."

"...Why-no, rather, is it figuratively speaking...? Or more like poeticall-" Yun Beishang wanted to clear things up, what if he accidentally killed the poor middle-aged man and created another parentless child? He already felt discomfort whenever he saw Rosey liking Rasa to the extent they played more and more time together when he wasn't there with them. According to Irllytia's sweet talk when on bed.

Whoosh!!

But, at that exact moment, Fusi disappeared from sight! It wasn't an effect achieved by having godly speed, but because Fusi genuinely turned into unknown, invisible darkness even amidst the strong light that has befell on them both.

Hua~!

Even at this point, Yun Beishang quickly reacted as his feet soundlessly tapped on the floor, his body was then impulsed slightly upwards as it also went backwards with his body remaining in a "\" shape in the middle of the air as his arms went to cover his forehead. The reason? He saw a murky palm suddenly gain a human color out of the layer of darkness as Fusi's palm was sent over aimed at his head in less than half a second.

Pung~...Crrr!

Next at foremost, Yun Beishang felt his head be free of any possible injury or even from being touched at all. Second, Yun Beishang then felt a strong push into his collarbone from the outside, right before feeling his entire body be stopped midair and be threatened to be sent away in a blast while also hearing his bones almost cracking up completely!

"Keuwgh! Kah-!!" His body simply becoming stagnant before his feet finally landed on the floor, Yun Beishang placed both his hands over his neck and collarbone, overlapping against each other from the mild but jabbing pain on his body.

Meanwhile, Fusi himself was exactly were Yun Beishang was previously standing at. His face expressed his genuine shock and incredulous state, as he then softly murmured to which Yun Beishang could perfectly hear: "How could this be? I didn't send you flying away for dozens of meters?"

After contemplating for a little as Yun Beishang had already recuperated himself from the shock, Fusi once again spoke, this time his tone was much more casual but still incredulous: "Hey, boy. You've trained your body lots? Even after confirming yourself being a Specialist?"

Yun Beishang casually responded after taking a few noiseless breaths in with his mouth and flinging his hand around a little: "Oh yeah, I um... have done so for a little, why?"

'Bullshit! How can that be just a little? You're clearly even stronger than the strongest body tempering animal on New Earth!' Deciding not to voice his thoughts out loud, Fusi made a step forwards as he simply added, and for the last time: "I don't doubt KC's words but, you can't take something you're not worthy of, kid. Just promise me one thing, alright? In case you do manage to kill me, that is; bring our people out of the stars as well, please!"

Finished saying that, Fusi's eyes blacked out as Yun Beishang barely realized that Fusi's body was no more with only his head being the last thing visible from his body. The rest of his body had already disappeared and Yun Beishang was simply being distracted!

Slap!

Yun Beishang evaded to the right before moving slightly forwards right after, successfully managing to avoid a slap to the neck and instead tanking it with his left ribs. Yet, that hit alone made Yun Beishang's skin and pores to go numb and to slightly close in retaliation; meanwhile, a strong yet unknown vibration remained on his body for a few moments before disappearing. Each of those vibrations, which were apparent all over his entire body, were excruciatingly painful. If it wasn't Yun Beishang, or a mind-related Specialist, taking the brunt of such attack; they would've already been knocked out from Fusi's next attack which Yun Beishang was already about to block!

Tuk-Tuk!

Swish!

With Yun Beishang's right fist connecting with Fusi's left palm which was seemingly covered by a layer of murky darkness, the first to act out right after was Yun Beishang as he lifted his left palm to penetrate Fusi's stomach right below his right ribs.

Slap!

Only to have his left palm be slapped away by the palm coming from Fusi's right hand, at the same time, Fusi's right-handed fingers slowly traced Yun Beishang's palm which was now covered with the same layer of murky darkness as he retreated furiously from his current position.

Fusi saw Yun Beishang skillfully move away and enter into a great stance as well as protective measurement, they were far away from the only source of light but the boy seemed to move like he was a fish in the water, Fusi had many things to say but; his profession, vow and mannerisms didn't allow him to pointlessly speak out in the middle of the most important battles for him and his people. Furthermore, for the future of his daughter!

"..."

"..."

Both locked eyes at each other's, both remained motionless when Yun Beishang's brows suddenly frowned, his left hand lifted up for his eyes to see without having to change his current field of vision.

"!!!" It was that murky darkness, it was plastered all over his left palm but... in reality, it was hovering right above his skin!

'What the... eh? Is it scared of something...? No! What is 'it' even?!' Yun Beishang thought hard and fast, but he couldn't get any conclusive answer for as this was the first time for him to see such a thing. Which at the same time, after a moment or two, cause another thought to pop inside his mind as he then thought and also seemingly threatened whatever 'it' was with his thoughts alone: 'Whatever this is... you can't disobey me.'

At the ending of having 'sent' his thoughts, Yun Beishang finally saw the layer of a murky darkness tremble strongly for a moment before it seemingly forced itself to create a needle-thick torrent that moved towards Yun Beishang's left hand.

Schlck!

At that instant, the layer of murky darkness penetrated his left hand and before long, it came out from the back of his left hand without seeming to want to stop.

"..." Frowning at the sight, Yun Beishang let it be as he already knew Fusi was approaching while a fake image of his body was still standing still.

Tap.

With but a light tap from his right feet, Yun Beishang jumped half a meter in the air before using his right elbow to pounce down on a seemingly empty space in front of him.

Pa!

Two palms, covered by a layer of murky darkness, swiftly blocked Yun Beishang's confident and ferocious attack. Being forced to use both his arms to handle the weight and inertia coming from Yun Beishang, which Fusi himself became extremely alarmed the moment he heard the boy's air surrounding him move ever so bizarrely like he had never seen before, and also being forced to use his legs to take on the raw, brute force from the boy's attack; Fusi couldn't move a muscle as he almost felt himself the need to spill out a little bit of blood. For starters.

'This... management of body weight, gravity and raw force... I've only seen this in the records of some previous Crestfallen Clan Heads!' While Fusi was tightly holding himself in order to not be blasted away, a self-protective and still frowning Yun Beishang swiftly danced in midair with his left foot grazing against Fusi's chest in a manner that that movement itself almost made a long gash from Fusi's right to the left side of his torso. Yun Beishang's right foot, however, remained hovering below his butt. As it only thrust towards Fusi's throat once Yun Beishang's left foot arrived at above Fusi's left shoulder.

'Ah... fuck this damned bo-'

POM! CRACK!

Before Fusi could even begin thinking his fourth word completely inside his head, he felt his own throat cave deep in as a similar but stronger sound came from his throat all the way up his brain and ears, effectively making him cringe and creating aversion from his own body having brought forth such grisly sounds. His brain even seemingly shuddered with those sounds alone, something that hadn't happened in many decades, which allowed Yun Beishang to land another hit; this time with his own forehead as he headbutted Fusi into a sorry backwards flip!

BANG!

...Thud!

"!!"

"!!"

"!"

All around the 'battlefield', innumerable pairs of eyes widened with their eyes constricting as they saw their spiritual leader fall off so easily and incredulously in a trashy manner.

One of those eyes, a pair of sharp platinum eyes looked on the exact same scene but with worship, adoration and infatuation instead.

"Hoof, khewff~... Kah! Ugh-oh-hoho, agh..." Not being able to speak properly after both; being brutally kicked at the throat and feeling his head almost smashed open by another and even more durable, forehead; Fusi then simply resigned himself to stand up while regaining his senses to a maximum.

Meanwhile, Yun Beishang was still intensely frowning at the murky darkness layer that had now become a kind of unique liquid that went from his left palm to the back of his hand and was now forming a strange globe-shaped form on the side of the back of his hand; while on the side of his left palm, the remaining layer of murky darkness appeared to be acting as a handle, adhering itself onto his palm as if to not allow itself -the strange liquid- to cross over to the side of the back of his hand.

'Piss off... calm down, calm down!!' Finally becoming desperate, for obvious reasons; Yun Beishang ended up exerting a slightly fearing and barking command to the 'thing' that was now making some strange shit in and around his left hand.

Gurgle-gurgle-blop!

It seemed to work, as Yun Beishang then saw the strangely globe-shaped form made from that murky-dark liquid retract itself. However, with a slight widening of his eyes, he found out that it wasn't going out from his hand this time and was instead starting to spread through his body!

"Wow-woh woh woh!" Terrified alright, Yun Beishang then tried to sense inside his body with the aim to understand everything that was happening everywhere where the murky dark liquid went. But, quickly right after, Yun Beishang started to feel a slight cooling sensation instead as well as some kind of 'as it should be' sensation. After a little while, as he saw the murky dark liquid began to 'evaporate' into his blood, bones, muscles and whatnot, Yun Beishang finally relaxed as he felt an incredible great sensation from all over his body. The almost-electrifying, soothing sensation made him feel as if he was naked, on a bed, and with a cute and adorable Natalia in his hands.

"Hoh~... feels... good!"

"!!!!" This time it was everyone's, except Yun Beishang's, turn to become astounded furthermore. With even the sharp platinum eyes becoming equally shocked as the rest, Yun Beishang only retracted his stupid and cringy large smile on his face once he noticed the strange peculiarity of the situation. Opening his eyes to look around him as even Fusi was wide-mouthed all the way down to the floor, Yun Beishang felt like asking if he did something wrong when Fusi's body outlined with the same layer of murky darkness from before.

'Uh-oh.' Feeling now, as Fusi approached once again, the stronger and more brutish incoming force; Yun Beishang quickly made a cross form with his forearms to cover his head while lowering his back before also starting to dash forwards!

Gurgle

Fusi's body was quickly enveloped into a flawlessly cone that pointed straight towards Yun Beishang; it fluctuated for an instant before seemingly becoming as durable as the strongest steel in the world. Meanwhile, Yun Beishang only had both his arms and his eloquence to fend off against this incredibly different move. It was no longer about being sneaky, ambushing nor assassination as it seemed like Fusi let go of his own unique profession to kill off Yun Beishang instead.

In the crow up above in the endless shadows of the building, a pair of sharp platinum eyes gazed vacantly at the scene, not knowing what to think.

Step, step, step-step!

Yun Beishang ferociously moved forwards as if without a care for his life.

Whoosh whoosh swish!

The cone made of murky darkness that encompassed Fusi's body wholly also seemingly created ripples in the air that threatened to deaf one's ears.

Yun Beishang and Fusi were about to collide, one had an innately great potential for tempering one's body while the other had a totally brand-new and never-seen-before perk that would numb anyone's scalp.

'But, this kid has a great talent for body tempering... is that his 'thing'? No, it can't... what makes him a Specialist?!' Fusi ransacked his brain juice out of imminent desperation as he saw the extremely calm but still extremely fierce glint on Yun Beishang's eyes as if in slow motion. Those were a pair of completely black, but broken into a sorrowful grey color; eyes.

Step, ste-TAP! BANG!!!

Yun Beishang first made an incredibly weird moveset with his feet, they looked that like a couple of bamboo drumsticks about to break off as they flung around on the floor, exactly 1.3 meters before reaching Fusi's ability and body as well as less than a moment of time until their collision was formed.

At the same time, Yun Beishang's forearms broke their previous stance of a cross form as his lower waist began to twist unbelievably horrifyingly!

With his arms now moving in extremely precise and sharp movements, Yun Beishang instantly appeared up in the air from still flinging his legs around on the floor to right above and behind Fusi's current position as if stopped in time; while Yun Beishang's legs were weirdly dancing in the air as if creating some kind of curl with the center of his body being affected into a stagnant position in the air.

At the same time, Yun Beishang's arms finally stopped moving messily all around himself as his right hand opened up into a raging, ferocious and cruel claw form while his left hand opened up into a decent, elegant and unstoppable claw form.

There wasn't a single tinge of violet lights in neither his eyes nor his hands, there wasn't a single apparent use of his perks as Yun Beishang simply used everything that Diana has teached him for many months, at this moment, and at this final killing move!

Of course, if Yun Beishang didn't had such a strange type of body that allowed him to grow unbelievably powerful with just eating food, albeit only doing that would improve himself by a small amount; then, such an impossible to perform movements would naturally be impossible for Yun Beishang to execute right now.

But as of right now, as Fusi already knew Yun Beishang was dancing in the air and about to effectuate a strange killing attack on him; with the limitations of having used an ability such as the one that formed a cone-shape all around his body in order to sacrifice stealth to gain a powerful attack and an incredible durable fortress and not being able to move as freely as before, he could only hope for his ability to not let him down at this crucial moment!

If... if he died now, in such a manner. It wouldn't work! No, he can't die! Not yet!

Splash!

At the same time as Fusi's immediate thoughts were crazily twirling in desperation, Yun Beishang's right hand that was feral-like; finally made contact with his cone formed from murky dark liquid. To his shock, anyone's present but, to the delight of Yun Beishang himself; Yun Beishang's right hand easily went through the murky dark cone with a slight sound of water being splashed playfully.

After the initial uncertainty, Yun Beishang's lips instantly formed into a nice, little cheeky grin as he then directed his left hand that was elegant-like, towards another angle of the murky dark cone as he could already smell the blood coming from Fusi's body start to boil in preparation for torment.

'Got you.' Thought a rapidly growing battle-lusted Yun Beishang.

'All or nothing!' Thought a hopeful father and spiritual leader of one of the most ancient organizations on New Earth.
