Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 179: The battle at the rooftop (2)

Arial grips Zhiwu shoulders and he exerts his internal energy and the crowds could hear the broken bones.

Whoa!

He is not someone he wants to mess with. Liao Bao thought to himself. Zhitai leapt forward seeing his brother in trouble to try to break Arial grip.

This is the place where he can make some contribution, thought Liao Bao. He jumped in front of them as he met Zhitai palm attack and employed the Absorbing technique

Zhiwu was shocked as he felt his energy entered Liao Bao body strengthening his enemy and weakening himself.

He quickly jumped back, his hand trembling as he looks fearful at Liao Bao

'What was that!' Zhitai yelled to Liao Bao. Liao Bao was trying to impress the young lord.

Seeing who he is, and his capability there is no doubt that this is the young lord everyone is talking about.

'Move aside' Arial appeared beside Liao Bao.  His voice is cold and firm. And the energy around him is getting more malevolent by the second. Helia rushed to Liao Bao and pull him away.

'Don't interrupt him' Helia said to him as she brought me away.

'Who else is here?' Arial shouted

'BRING THEM ALL OUT!' he roared and the wooden stall nearby exploded because of the internal energy infuse in his roars affected the area around him.

Wind went into chaos and swirls of winds could be seen forming in the air before dissipating away

'We are the only ones' Zhiwu answer, his broken bones preventing him from breaking free from Arial grip.

He is whimpering in pain.

'Come if you dare' Arial said baiting Zhitai to charge him. Zhitai could not handle the provocation and charged toward Arial with his halberd but Arial dodged with apparent ease.

'Wind God technique' Helia said almost a whisper

'Wind God technique?' Liao Bao asked to Helia

'Yes.' Helia said.

'Wind God technique is one of Arial signature move; he could evade any attack with it.'

Liao Bao looked again. It was incredible. Not only he was dodging the halberd attack but he does it while dragging the big man with apparent ease.

But Liao Bao notice some similarity with his technique. Liao Bao shake his head.

It couldn't be. It should not be possible.

Liao Bao technique was Alexander technique devised from watching his friend technique where he improvised Levitia technique to suit his needs.

Liao Bao look at his Wind God Technique.

His Treading on the Wind Technique does not require profound internal energy, technique that is devised to help Alexander who compared to his other sworn brother does not have very high internal energy at the beginning of their rebellion.

But this Wind God Technique?

It complements certain weakness that he notices in Treading the Wind technique. Almost like Wind God technique is the purer version of Treading on The Wind technique.

The treading on the wind technique has too much softness and elegance, not enough power and fierceness.

If he need to bring someone twice his size with him while also evading, Liao Bao speed would dropped considerably.

But, alone, his speed is unmatched even from this young lord. But neither can he attack him. This is why it was perfect use to run away but not to use when in battle.

It complements battle not help it.

But the Wind God technique is different. Liao Bao himself had to admit it. Seeing it employed in front of him, he could understand a bit of the fundamentals involved in using it.

It can be used to help perfect a stance and attacks. Incredible!

Clang! the sound can be heard as the resulting clash between the halberd and Arial internal energy.

The halberd shakes and it entire shaft tremble. Then Arial grabbed the halberd as he shouted

"Helia, this is how you performed Lion Bite!' he shouted as the halberd of Zhitai was grabbed and changed hands. 

Liao Bao could see some of the profundities of the technique.

He could see where the burst of internal energy begins and how fast it ends giving the pressure to release their weapon from their hand.

Helia smile a little, looking at Arial.

"Arrogant" And she blushed.

Now Arial pointed the halberd at the old man. The old man seeing himself utterly defeated kneeled and beg for mercy.

'Forgive me' he said.

'Remember my name thieves! I'm Arial the Dragon. Harm my people and you will pay' Then he stuck the end of the halberd to the ground and orders the officers

'Arrest this man, take their weapons and find out where he stashes their stolen loot'

The guards quickly approached the old man and cuff him in iron chains. Liao Bao could see it was Asteros chains. Very hard and durable.

Not many people can break it. Arial then with ease throws Zhiwu to the guard

'This too' he shouted

'Yes my lord.' They responded.

Arial then turned his attention to Helia.

'Are you alright? '

'I'm fine.'

'Why wear a man clothing?' Arial ask as he scanned Helia clothes.

'I wanted to surprise you.'

'Well, you surprised me' he said looking at the destroyed roof.

'I don't mean that…Now it is all ruined.'

Arial just looks at Helia and smile then he holds her hair and unfurled her tied hair and her hair flowed gracefully behind her back.

Liao Bao keep the comment he was about to say. The woman is beautiful.

'You do look a little cute in those clothes.' Arial said and she giggled.

'Heard you just got back from the war, fighting swarm of enemies forces. News even reached my ears that people bathed blood in Berth!' He nodded.

'Just got back.' And she laughed. An unrestrained laugh.

'Come on, Kyle escort the lady' then suddenly from the crowd another man emerged and a man make his way among the crowd

He is wearing a shining armour with a raven design on his armour. His face was handsome and his clothing was eye-catching, his movements was graceful and he possess this dignified aura.

'Kyle!' and Helia run to the man called Kyle.josei

'It has been so long.'

'Yeah' he nodded.

'Where is Lisa?'

'At the castle.'

Then Arial turned to Liao Bao finally.

'Thank you for helping my Helia.' Liao Bao shake his head

'It is fine. From what I could see she could perfectly handle those two. I presume much' His face is now relaxed.

'Come with us to the castle. I will reward you.'

This is Liao Bao chance. He then held Arial hand and everyone gasped

'What do you think you are doing?' Kyle said as he drew his sword. All the guard also drew their sword.

'Settle down' Arial said.

'It is fine. Mr Zhang let us go t-'

'No, I need to deliver something to you.' This time, Arial raised his eyebrows. And his eyes narrowed down at Liao Bao

'Deliver what?'

'A letter.' And this amused him.

'You can give that to my attendants.'

'No, this must be only for you.'

'From who?'

'Princess Arianna' Liao Bao said hoping that the young lord would recognizes the name and then the young lord jolted in surprise.

The young lord looked at him slightly alarmed and asks

'Who are you?'
