The cave trembled violently in tune with every exchange of attacks that Hao Zhao also did, the cat was so agile in terms of attacking as well as dodging.
Hao Zhao who was his opponent even had to receive quite a number of wounds all over his body, quite serious injuries from every single claw of Cang that contained such profound energy.
Every time he received an attack from Cang, Hao Zhao was difficult but still managed to retaliate with a swing of the sword in his hand.
Cang's small body made Hao Zhao's attacks several times have to miss, even so it still makes Cang receive quite severe injuries from every attack that was successfully launched by him.
The exchange of sword swings with the claw of the four legs of the cat again occurred somehow to how many times, which this time is not as fierce as before because Cang seems to have touched his physical limitations.
“Ngrawww!!!" Cang groaned for a moment after leaping away from Hao Zhao.
Hao Zhao only gave a small smile in response, honestly fighting with Cang was still much more fun than participating in the tournament he won.
“Golden-Eye Cat equivalent to a Soul warrior is indeed not mere nonsense, even your attack power is far more dangerous than the members of the Iron Mask I have fought against," hao Zhao said to Cang as if the cat understood.
“Ngrawww!!!" Cang who had already returned jumped up to pounce on Hao Zhao, not caring at all about what Hao Zhao just said.
Hao Zhao only smiled wider as Cang got closer to him. Unlike the previous one, this time he stored the sword in his hand into the s.p.a.ce ring before catching the cat which fortunately succeeded.
“Hey, my words were a compliment. How could a spiritual beast like you not understand?" Hao Zhao who had secured Cang in the clutches of both hands.
“Meong?" The way Cang looked at him suddenly turned innocent as well as his manner.
What Cang did immediately reminded Hao Zhao of the incident not so long ago, it had already been three times that this kind of behavior had been done if it merged Li Chen as well into it.
“You think I'll be fooled by your innocent behavior, Bad cat?" Hao Zhao who simultaneously touched several points on Cang's body, made the cat lose consciousness like its owner.
“Now, everything is under my control," murmured Hao Zhao.
***
Hao Zhao just sat on one side of the cave while closing his eyes, it was already morning that the wound on Hao Zhao's body had also completely disappeared.
Feeling that his recovery had been enough, Hao Zhao immediately opened his eyes before being greeted by the less wearing scene from Li Chen and his cat that he had tied so as not to be able to do anything dangerous when it came to consciousness later.
“Oh, finally awake? How's the break, boy?" hao Zhao asked as Li Chen dimly opened his eyes.
Li Chen who had just woken up but had already found his hands and feet bound clearly did not accept, trying to rebel even use his inner energy as a Soul Formation warrior to release the bond even though he had to fail because his inner energy seemed to not help at all.
“Tie me with what are you, Goddamn it?" Li Chen who realized what was used to tie him up was not something ordinary.
Hao Zhao only chuckled to see the boy Li Chen rampaging, after which pointing at the root creeping on one side of the cave.
Li Chen who recognized what kind of root it was immediately inflamed. Like a brat who was annoyed at not buying toys, every rude word came out of Li Chen's mouth to berate Hao Zhao.
Platkk!!!
Li Chen who was originally noisier himself with various harsh words from his mouth immediately shut up. Feeling the pain in his mouth that was new to Hao Zhao, he looked at Hao Zhao bitterly and felt unacceptable.
“Hey, Damn. You don't think I'm the same age as I look, do you?" li Chen asked still staring at Hao Zhao ferociously.
“Of course not, after all who would believe there was a brat like you managed to become a Soul Formation swordsman," Hao Zhao said.
“Then stop treating me like a child and untie this, I can consider forgiving you if you want to do that" Li Chen said with a confident smile.
Hao Zhao only glanced at Li Chen looking unconcerned, afterwards laughing amusedly at Li Chen's unfounded confidence.
“Whatever you are, I'm still stronger than you. So who forgives who here?" hao Zhao asked raising his eyebrows.
“Eh? Te— but did you know that Cang has the equivalent strength of a Soul warrior? If I wanted to, I would've asked him to finish—"
Li Chen was silent even when his words were not finished, because he realized how the condition of his not-so-different cat was tied together like him.
“Oh, Soul warrior? How horrible, I became afraid after hearing that," Hao Zhao said with a wry smile.
“Sial, shut up. Let go of my bond, I will appreciate your kindness if you want to do that," said Li Chen who ultimately chose to speak carefully to persuade Hao Zhao.
“Wah, it turns out that you who had the desire to finish me off when I was asleep can appreciate the kindness of people as well," Hao Zhao said as if surprised.
Li Chen who realized Hao Zhao was only mocking him from earlier could only finally hold back his wrath, trying to harbor all those uncomfortable feelings until the time came.
“Nak, stop childish like that and quickly untie my ties. Let's talk this through and clear up our misunderstanding." Li Chen who suddenly changed his carrier.
“Wah, now you're acting like an old man. Which one are you the real one?" Hao Zhao stared in awe as if in disbelief, although it seemed obvious it was just a form of pretence Hao Zhao only.
Li Chen's eyelids twitched a few times, all the furious feeling now seemed to have been unstoppable making Li Chen explode due to Hao Zhao's annoying behavior.
“Bokah, Damn!!! Do you even know who I am? I'm one of the three Free warriors without a famous sect in this continent, if you continue like this then I will search you to the end of the world to finish you off your share from here!!!" li Chen exclaimed with anger.
Hao Zhao was just speechless hearing that, surprised of course but nothing more.
“Haha, he must be afraid to hear how extraordinary my real identity ... ehh ...."
Li Chen, who initially thought Hao Zhao was daunted after hearing his identity, immediately felt that he was simply overconfident.
Hao Zhao was indeed not begging for mercy or the like even after knowing that, but rather reading a book somehow contained it as if Li Chen's identity was nothing to him.
“Three Free Dragons, so you're one of them?" Hao Zhao after managed to confirm if there really was Li Chen's name from the book containing information of Yang Gao's giving.
Three Free Dragons, a nickname given to three warriors without a sect with no kidding power and seemed impossible to achieve without the support of a group or sect in the slightest.
Of the three names listed, the wrong person in front of Hao Zhao clearly made himself more interested.
“Isn't the nickname Free Dragon too much considering that one of them is just a Soul Formation swordsman? Disappointing," Hao Zhao said with a cynical smile.
“Bokah, Damn!!! This is not my true power!!!" exclaimed Li Chen who felt Hao Zhao had gone too far daring to underestimate him to that extent.
