The Qi that the three held together was released together then fused together and formed a gigantic tornado. It's just that, the name that is pronounced is not right because the color of the giant tornado is black. The perfect darkness that enveloped the tornado managed to cover the small but deadly ice-ice that was within the tornado.

Heiliao and Huo Bing smiled watching as they successfully completed that combined technique. However Xika frowned seeing the combined results of their elements.

"Squeaky. I remember the color wasn't like that."

Hearing Xika's remark, Huo Bing raised her eyebrows realizing the boy was right. While Heiliao who had expected that from the start was just silent with a sour expression.

WHISHHHH!!!

The tornado resulting from the combined technique of the three drove off without direction and attacked anyone around them, no matter comrade or foe. Elder Fen who saw this frowned. Actually what did the three of them do to be able to produce such a terrifying attack?

"Ck, cheap tricks!"

Meng Fuqin, who was the closest to the tornado other than the three Xika and Elder Fen clicked her tongue and refused to dodge. He gathered the qi in both of his hands then unleashed an unusually large blizzard.

WUSH!

Unfortunately, the blizzard was still not enough to destroy or just knock out the tornado of Xika's combined techniques.

The Immortal Pearl Pavillion Cultivator, who was standing next to Meng Fuqin, was similarly stubborn and believed that the leader of the Northern Light Palace could repel the attacks from the fast boy like Xika and the others. As a result, he was sucked into the tornado and heard an ear-piercing scream accompanied by the sounds of the destruction of human bones.

Even Meng Fuqin furrowed his forehead not expecting the tornado to be so powerful. The other sect leaders were shocked by the tornado's power and stopped their fight.

While on the other hand, the expressions of Xika, Huo Bing, and Heiliao who were the source of the attack displayed unreadable expressions. Xika, either he was surprised by what the tornado could do or he was surprised to have successfully unleashed the technique this time.

Huo Bing, don't worry too much about that tornado problem. As long as it could withstand or even give an attack to its opponents, that was enough. He began to think about how to escape this situation and tried to estimate some possibilities.

Heiliao, only a wry expression appeared to see his black tornado moving towards the sect heads. He had indeed expected this before because this time he could not use the space element. But somehow the black color of the tornado made him feel bad.

"Xika, while they're still distracted by the tornado, give me the fruits. We need someone to look after him." Elder Fen said without moving from his proper position next to Fa Diala.

Xika understood Elder Fen's actions because ever since they fought from there Elder Fen never left beside Fa Diala. Perhaps he was intending to look after his uncle, so Xika did not mind.

He waved his hand and cut off the two Fruits of Life, leaving the last two because they were the most distant. He threw the two fruits towards Elder Fen without noticing the insanely greedy expression on the middle-aged man's face. Perhaps because he already believed in Elder Fen, plus the circumstances around which he could not doubt his comrades in arms.

Finished throwing the two fruits, Xika again spoke to Heiliao and Huo Bing. His hand swung and took out the last two Life Fruits that were on his tree.

"Now, should we run away?" xika asked while looking at the surroundings. The chaotic situation, plus everyone's attention was fixed on his artificial tornado so that made this the right time to escape.

"really. Wolf charred, do you know where we should go to get out of this Dynasty?"

"Can I estimate. The route should not be a problem as long as we keep ourselves and are not recognized. It's just......"

The wolf stared at Fa Diala, who was still lying unconscious.

"No! I will not leave my uncle. I won't!" Xika immediately shouted as if she already knew what Heiliao was going to say. He looked at Heiliao firmly into his eyes. But the wolf widened its eyes when it saw Fa Diala.

"Xika!"

"No! I don't care if he's a burden, I'll carry him!" insisted.

"Not that, your uncle!"

Actually Heiliao wanted to correct his words that all that needed to be noticed was Elder Fen who was beside Fa Diala, but he was already too late.

Xika turned her head and realized the greedy expression on Elder Fen's face.

"Hehehe! Now I don't need this old man anymore!"

"Older Fen! What the-"

"Bye bye!"

Elder Fen formed a wind knife in his hand, then without asking Xika to finish his words he brandished the knife and stabbed it right into the heart of the man Xika had considered his own father.

JLB!

"NO!"

"Suckers! Release!" Xika no matter who pulled her collar, she just tried to release herself as quickly as possible to save her uncle.

"Stop, stupid!" Huo Bing cursed at Xika.

"You stop, damn it! My uncle will die if I don't hurry!"

"Xika, awake!" Huo Bing pulled Xika's collar even harder so it forced her to turn around looking at her face.

"What's? What do you want? Sitting sweet while my uncle is dying there? He's my uncle, asshole! MY UNCLE!"

THE PLAQUE!

"LOOK AROUND YOU, YOU IDIOT!"

Either Huo Bing's slap, or her words forced Xika to turn her head and pay attention to her surroundings. The situation is no longer as chaotic as before, it can even be said to have begun to be controlled. His Tornado had now started to lose his strength and was no longer as feared as before. The worst thing was, some attention began to fall on him.

"We need to get out of here. Nowow. Or there will be no survivors among us all."

"But...but........my..........i.....i......"

"Respect, Xika! Even before Elder Fen stabbed him, your uncle's condition was already bad. You yourself know that the chances of living are small!"

"But.......Heiliao said before......"

"God......Do you believe what he said? Deep inside you know that your uncle doesn't have much time left, right? Right, we might be able to save her by giving her one or two Fruits of Life. But do you think they'll let us do that?" huo Bing asked as he pointed at Meng Fuqin, Han Li, and the others.

"Yes, we might be able to save one life, but that means wasting your own life, as well as my life and Heiliao's. One life for three lives? Is that what you want? Save your uncle for a while, then die with him and sit in a chat in the underworld?" Huo Bing continued.

"...................."

As Xika and Huo Bing argued, Elder Fen laughed like crazy. His chaotic appearance added to the impression that he was indeed a lunatic. While Jing Wei, and his other comrades were looking at him with astonished, confused, disbelieving, and many others.

Of course, if it was the other Elder, Jing Wei still understood because other than Elder Fen the rest had a history that could not be said to be good with Xika. So it makes sense that they would prefer treasure over uncle Xika's life. But Elder Fen? Of all the Protectors, even including Jing Wei himself, Elder Fen was the one closest to Xika.

Elder Fen ignored the various gazes given by his comrades, or his enemies and continued to laugh like crazy while staring at the Fruit of Life that Xika had given him earlier.

Xika looked at Elder Fen's wits while setting one thing in her heart.

"We have to go. Now." Huo Bing said in a softer tone, but remained firm.

Slowly, tears gathered in Xika's eyes. Granules by granules gathered together to become an unstoppable stream. The flow turned increasingly swift to wet his entire face and make him feel like a child.

He closed his eyes then focused the rest of his qinya to bring the three of them out from there. Qinya could reach Heiliao and Huo Bing, but could not take her away. Even just going back to their room at the Academy just can't.

I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's the lack of qinya, or the focus is not good, or the body is exhausted and can not move anymore, or.......he could not even think clearly now.

Xika opened her eyes again. And the scene that greeted him was the coughing up blood that Fa Diala had released. His shoulders shook violently withstanding the anger. Stifled sobs could be heard from between his mouth.

Driven with her anger, Xika ate the two Life Fruits she had in her hands simultaneously, not caring about the outpouring of life energy entering and almost making her body explode. The four dantians instantly broke through to the Qi-9 Forming and were only a step away for him to reach the Royal Realm.

"Suck!"

"We have to get the two remaining pieces, at any rate!" Han Li shouted. He could not let the plan he had been putting together for a long time be destroyed by the boy yesterday afternoon like Xika. But when he was about to dart towards Xika, his body suddenly stopped looking at the gaze that Xika gave.

With life energy overflowing all over her body, Xika stared one by one at everyone who was in that place.

"I will remember well today. Debt or vengeance, I will repay everything. You'd better hope my fate is unlucky and meet my death or I'll come back in one of your sleepers who won't rest well anymore, and take your lives with my own hands!"

Then he turned around and looked at Elder Fen.

"You better hide yourself well or I'll make your death more miserable than a dog."

Lastly, Xika glanced at Tian Yin. I don't know if the bastard was conscious or not, but he didn't say anything. Then he closed his eyes, and a moment later the black qi enveloped his body with Heiliao and Huo Bing, and they disappeared from sight.
