The Wuxia Phone 73 Cross

Michael was about to speak when suddenly a black blur took the guy away. The guy disappeared from his hand.

He looks around and saw the small-statured man, who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him earlier. Unlike last time, his clothes now consist of dark and baggy long-sleeved clothes, and a bandana sporting the trademark skull crest over his mouth.

Michael's face got serious when he saw how that guy disappeared from his hands. Even though normal cultivators can't see it, but he can.

That small-statured man was so fast, he left afterimages when he came to get his buddy. He basically just straight out grabbed the guy from his hands. Michael has to admit, he has b.a.l.l.s.

The guy smirked and asked "Why were you so late, Fei Tian? I almost got killed by that guy"

The now known Fei Tian replied silently "I had to move in the right opportunity or else that guy would've killed me"

"Bullish*t, you just wanted to see me suffer" He yelled.

"That may be true but, I still saved you," Fei Tian said silently while smirking.

"Screw you a.s.shole" He middle fingered Fei Tian.

Fei Tian dropped him on the ground from his arms before he stared at Michael with seriousness in his eyes.

"Can you let us go just this once? I'm sure you don't have to kill us right now" Fei Tian asked him with a serious expression.

"Hmph, after everything you've done, do you think I will let you go?" Michael snorted.

"Tch, I guess we wouldn't be able to get out of this without putting a fight, huh? Fink Su" Fei Tian said gravely.

"Why did I have to test my theory? If I can only go back in time and smack my past self in the head, " Fink Su regretted.

They both readied themselves. Fei Tian took out an umbrella and Fink Su took on a stance similar to a boxer.

Michael looks at them coldly before disappearing from his position and he appeared in front of them with his Demonic Slayer on his right hand.

"What!?" Fei Tian and Fink Su quickly dodge his attack before they jumped backward.

Fei Tian pushed the b.u.t.ton of his umbrella and activated his umbrella. He hid behind the umbrella when suddenly he appeared behind Michael with a sword in his left hand, about to slash at Michael.

Michael glanced behind him before flicking the sword out of Fei Tian's hand. The sword flew to the ceilings of the hall. Because the auction hall was big, the sword in the ceilings was almost unreachable if they don't fly.

"Tch" Fei Tian tried to move away when Michael punched him in the guts.

"Gah!" He flew across the hall, hitting a few people along the way.

"Fei Tian!" Fink Su yelled worriedly. He tried to dash towards where Fei Tian crashes but Michael stopped him as he appeared in front of him and kicked him in the chest again but this time he was kicked downwards where the ground was.

He crashed into the ground coughing blood every now and then.

Michael raised his sword to kill him.

Fink Su looks at the ceiling and said sadly "It seems like we will die here today" He prepared for the incoming death and closed his eyes but even after a few seconds it did not come.

He opened one of his eyes and saw he was not in the auction hall anymore. He is currently in their current base, lying on the cold hard ground.

He sits up and looks around the base. He saw his boss, reading the same book again. He tried to find Fei Tian and was relieved when he saw him by his side. But he had really severe injuries, he is pretty sure when he wakes up, he is NOT going to be happy.

Their Boss is a young man with black hair and grey eyes. Two of his distinguishing features are his cross-shaped tattoo on his forehead and a pair of orb-shaped earrings. He is wearing a dark purple fur-collared leather and a fur trench coat that is unb.u.t.toned, revealing his muscular body, while the coat is imprinted with the golden St. Peters Cross on the back.

Earlier he used a technique called Transmitter to teleport Fink Su back here in their base.

"Fink Su, Fei Tian, what happened to you two?" The boss asked them in a soft voice benefiting a leader.

Fink Su stood up and brushed the dust on his bode before answering him "There was a man who fought us, he was so strong that all of us stood no chance against him, n.o.bunaga and Uvo was just flung away with a single strike from him, in short, he is a monster"

The boss suddenly looks interested and said "Tell me more about him" He put his elbow on the chair he is sitting on before resting his head on his hand.

The chair he was sitting on is made of pure stone, it had an armrest on both sides of the chair.

As Fink Su told him about the young man the other members were talking about what happened to Uvo and n.o.bunaga.

Uvo and n.o.bunaga rested their bodies on the cold hard cemented stairs even though they already ate the Vitality Pill. The pain is still lingering around the spot where Michael hit them.

Bang!

Uvo smashed his fist on the cemented stair and yelled "d.a.m.n it!! He just one shoted me! And not only that he looked uninterested at me when he punched me!"

n.o.bunaga rubbed his head in headache and said "d.a.m.n it Ugo, stop yelling so much, it hurts my head"

n.o.bunaga wears a cla.s.sic j.a.panese style robe and short pants, while his belly and ankles are tied up inside by a sarashi. He has long hair that he ties into a single topknot and leaves his beard and mustache unshaven.

"Shut up" A quiet voice sounded on their right. It was Fei Tian who just woke up with a headache.

"Don't speak at me like that Fei Tian, at least I am not as injured as you, midget" Ugo said smugly while he is resting on the cemented stair.

Fei Tian stood up before he disappeared and reappeared in front of Ugo's face. He had his sword on his left hand pointing it at Ugo's neck.

"Why don't you say that to my face, huh!?" He looks at Ugo with his dark and furious eyes as he said that.

"Huh!? Then let's take this outside!" Ugo said angrily and stood up before looking down on Fei Tian.

Ugo is a tall man, probably the tallest out of all of them. So it is obvious he is taller than Fei Tian, who is the shortest of em all.

"Just because you're taller than me, doesn't mean I can't kill you," Fei Tian said.

"C'mon!" Ugo readied his stance to fight Fei Tian when suddenly the boss closed his book and all of them instantly sat down with a calm expression.

It is a rule in here when the boss closes his book, they have to shut up or else the boss will punish them.

"I've decided, we shall all hunt down the man named Tatsuya Shoyo and we will take care of him thoroughly" The boss announced in front of all of them.

Their base is an abandoned building in an abandoned village they ma.s.sacred themselves. Inside it is 12 people.

All of them listened to their boss, Cross. The ambition of Cross to hunt down Michael. And right now, they are dispersing in groups to hunt him. Every group has at least 3 people in it, so in total there are 4 groups.

There are still many unknown members of the gang, so stay tuned to know them.

-Just After Fink Su disappeared-

Michael was about to strike Fink Su when he suddenly disappeared. As a result, the sword hit the empty ground.

Michael lifted his sword before unsheathing it and looked around for his enemies. When they didn't show up in his field of vision, he finally caught on.

"They disappeared," Michael said disappointed.

"I was just about to kill him too, maybe it's their mysterious boss who teleported them out of here" He speculated that their boss was behind this.

He shook his head and said "No use crying over a spilled milk I guess" He looks at the sleeping Jing Fei on his back and wondered how did she sleep through all that.

Yes, Jing Fei was behind Michael this whole time.

"I need to get out of here, this place is not safe for Jing Fei" Michael dashed to the entrance of the Auction House.

After arriving at the entrance of the Green Jade Auction, he instantly disappeared from his location. He jumped on top of the roof of a house and continued to jump to various roofs until they both arrived at the City Lord's mansion.

-Next Day-

The entire city was thrown into a state of panic when the City Lord died.

The upper echelons of the City tried to hide the fact that the City Lord is already dead so that the city won't fall into a panic but somehow the news came out to the city.

Michael learned the name of the gang that attacked the Auction yesterday. The name is Phantom Thieves. They have been existing since 30 years ago, even though some of the members look quite young but all of them are in their hundreds.

On top of being thieves, they are also ma.s.s murderers. If everyone counted the people they have killed, it would be around hundreds of thousands of people they had killed all these years.

Earlier this morning, after Jing Fei woke up she vowed she would train until she is strong enough to kill the Phantom Thieves. It seems like the death of her father took a huge toll on her little mind.

Michael tried to comfort her but she said that she was okay and made Michael leave the house. He doesn't know why she chased him out of her house but nonetheless, he left.

Michael wanted to help her but she just shood him away, so Michael just left and thought 'Maybe she will calm down after a few days.'

Michael rented a room in one of the popular inn in the city: Gra.s.s Inn. And stayed there while scrolling down his Phone.

Sigh

"I would've made a huge PP in that auction, if only they didn't come" Michael said sighed in sadness. He would've been a rich man again.

"Unfortunately for me, that was the only auction in this city and I would have to travel to another city to find another auction again"
