Chapter 446 - Threat

"Haha, this was fun, let's do this some other time." David chuckled and ten turned into three separate mirages, fleeing towards three different directions. 

Long Zhi was stunned, gazing at David's retreating figures. His eyes turned blood shot as he shouted. "Coward! Face me if you dare!"

David only responded with a chuckle as he left. Long Zhi couldn't help but rage explosively. The dragon pillar had finally formed. 

A golden long pillar almost a hundred meters in length immediately formed. On one hand, it looked like a real and huge golden pillar but on the other hand, it looked like a real flood dragon. 

Sending it towards the direction one of David's mirages had gone, the world seem to pause as an explosive wave of energy slammed toward the forest, the cave which was half standing was immediately destroyed into rubbles. A massive shockwaves spread out in all directions, even slamming into Long Zhi himself. 

The dragon shield forming around him was starting to get dim. Yet, it was enough to stop the shockwaves from severely injuring Long Zhi himself. 

Long Zhi could feel that his attack didn't meet the real David, making him spit out blood in anger. He had injured himself because he was too angry.

As he was about to go in pursuit, he suddenly stopped and glanced sideways. Towards that direction, three people could be seen rushing towards him from that direction. 

Long Zhi expression was looking to good since he was angry. However, he paused. This was the direction David had gazed before also stopping his attacks and fleeing. It was as though he had noticed people were coming from that direction and chose to flee instead of fighting it out with him. 

His express couldn't help but darken once more. He had underestimated the kid. Even as David was about to fight with him, he was able. To split his senses towards other places and observe the surroundings, which meant that David hadn't taken Long Zhi serious in the first place having to split his perception with him. 

This made Long Zhi incredibly furious. Taking his anger out on the people who had just come.

The three people were two males and one female. They had noticed the ripples of energy from a mile away and were instantly attracted to it since it signifies a treasure or an opportunity. 

They were the first to have reached here which showed that they were fairly strong. And from their perception, Long Zhi had reached here before them and had destroyed the evidence of what he had taken from this place. And with the angry expression he had right now, they interpreted it as him wanting to get rid of them to remove the witness. 

Their eyes brightened. If they killed Long Zhi, they could collect the treasure from him and share it amongst each other. Either way, it was a good deal. 

Although tech could feel Long Zhi was strong, it wasn't something they couldn't deal with. With smiles on their faces, they attacked. 

David smiled as he felt the clash of energies behind him.Lomg Zhi must be so angry he would definitely spit out blood right? Although he hadn't been able to kill off Long Zhi, David felt as though he had somewhat achieved his aim.

Within his palm, in there laid three storage rings , obviously from the three people he had killed. Even when he was in an intense fight with Long Zhi, he still had the chance and had spared his senses to gather the rings together.

Finally, a small cave appeared within his vision. David head into the cave since he was eager to check what was within the three storage rings.

The cave was the home of a Black-scaled scorpion. It has a very thick black scale and two powerful pincers with a large stinger behind it.

Killing the Black-scaled scorpion only took a slight effort from David. Throwing out the dead body of the scorpion, David was finally able to meditate within the cave. He didn't first check the storage rings as one would have expected, but he sat down to meditate in his mistakes and how he could have handled the situation better.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and then breathed out roughly. His eyes glanced outside only to see Little Flint struggling to swallow the whole pincer of the Black-scaled scorpion to him.

Smiling softly, he shook his head as he finally grabbed the storage rings of the three people he had killed. The space they had were almost twice as big as the storage rings he had been given by the Grand Professor.

Apart from miscellaneous items such as cloths, wines, chairs and tables, there was about 50,000 gold within the first storage ring. But aside from that David could see the various herbs that had been harvested within ring.

David couldn't help but smile. Although he didn't know the value of the herbs in the storage rings, he knew he was definitely going to be rich. And it wasn't only one such full storage ring he had, but 12 of them.

Three he had taken from the dead bodies of Ren Liang, Hong Cai and Yan Hong, while the remaining nine were those he had personally filled up with the help of the the four individuals.

He also scanned through the other storage rings and could anything that could be called real treasure. Seems when they were coming in here, they had dropped their precious stuffs back within their institute so as to not lose it or something.

"What a pity." David couldn't help but shake his head. They were definitely selfish. But he wasn't without any gains. The amount of gold coins he had accumulated from the storage rings was already up to 250,000 gold coins. Even an earth realm expert would have up to that amount with him.

Checking the talisman he had been given, he checked his contributions points had saw that it had increased by 120,000 contribution points. It was the contribution points for killing the three people.

David smile widened. With these contributions, he could definitely ask for another earth ranked technique from the academy.

After sorting out the herbs, coins and the other items to different storage rings, David was about to eat some herbs to curb his thirst when he heard Flint growling in the distance. 

He then turned to face the entrance of the cave. He had sensed someone pawing through there but had ignored the person since it was likely the person was just passing through the place and he decided to keep quiet. 

But Flint wasn't so smart. Immediately he sensed the presence of another person, it had immediately growled threateningly towards that direction, attracting the person's attention. 

David couldn't help but roll his eyes. He could shut Flint up, but it was already too late since the lesson had been attracted over already. He just needed to prepare for battle. David grabbed Flint gently and place it in his neck as he waited for the person to show him or her self. 

The surrounding grass continued to sway and ruffle as the person parted the grass as they walked by. 

By the time there was no more grass, the figure of the person was shone to David. It was a lady. A lady with a veil covering very part of her face but her eyes. But her clothes also exposed her thin abdomen and her milky white slender legs. 

David was surprised as he recognised this woman immediately. Wasn't she the one who had shown them the node for them to break the invincible formation. 

"Oh, if it isn't lady Chyou. Haha, what brings you here." David smiled, his brain rapidly thinking about what this Lady could be doing here. Could she have tracked him or was it a coincidence?

"Oh, it's you. Back then, since we were in a hurry, I didn't quite get your name and your academy, I apologise for that." Her light voice twinkled like bells in the forest. 

"Haha, there is no need for apologies between us lady Chyou, since we are all friends. I'm David by the way and as for the academy I'm from, it isn't anything important." David chuckled as he waved off telling the name of the academy.

Lady Chyou smiled under her veil and her eyes flashed in a weird light. "What a weird name you have there brother David. Ans you call us friends, it seems you often try to kill you friends a lot brother David."

David froze and his eyes flashed. He hadn't thought anyone was watching when he killed the three people back then and attempted to kill Long Zhi, but it turns out this lady had been watching the whole time. 

His smiled suddenly turned weird as though having a meaning behind it. "Since they tried taking something that wasn't theirs, of course they deserved what was coming.. As for you, we are still friends since you didn't try anything, and wouldn't try. I'm i right lady Chyou? "
