“Surveillance? Wanted by the police?”
The thin man rubbed his nose with his thumb disdainfully and said, “Your Highness, you are already assimilated into the body of an ordinary mortal, therefore, your perception is that of a mortal. But this can’t be helped. Your memories have been sealed in the Divine Temple, but once unsealed, you will recall everything about the Light Clan. Now, please follow us back, Your Highness.”
“Get lost! I’m not going anywhere!” Su Li shouted coldly.
The thin man was taken aback, but he smiled and said, “Your Holy Highness, I apologize for offending you. But once you regain your memory, I believe you will not blame me.”
Just then, he extended his hand and tapped his finger between Su Li’s brows. She suddenly found herself unable to move, just like Xiao Luo.
Curisa chuckled as he lifted Su Li and threw her over his shoulder. He turned to the white-clothed man, Ming, and said, “Your Majesty, do you think it is inappropriate for us to bring Her Highness back like this?”
Ming glanced at him and said, “I don’t know.”
He turned around and prepared to leave.
Curisa smiled and followed. All the while, the two towering men did not even look at Xiao Luo. It was as if he was invisible to them, and they simply ignored him.
“Put her down now!”
A bloodthirsty roar suddenly escaped from Xiao Luo’s throat. He released his acupoints and dashed toward Curisa like a wild beast. He clenched his fists hard as he channeled his destructive energy to them and smashed the back of Curisa’s head.
Seeing his own woman being carried away on someone else’s shoulder, Xiao Luo became furious and attacked with all his might.
SWOOSH!
The force that Xiao Luo’s fist generated whistled like the wind from a roaring gale. As his fist flashed through the air, space would slightly distort, appearing like ripples on the calm surface of the water when a stone was dropped in.
But Curisa’s palm easily parried Xiao Luo’s powerful punch. The moment the fist and palm met, the force of the impact burst like a fierce wind before it quickly dissipated.
The ease with which the thin man blocked the blow stunned Xiao Luo. He had put all of his strength into this punch and he could even have destroyed an armored car. Who was this person, and why was he so powerful?
“I did not expect for such a capable fighter would exist in this filthy place. How amazing; he even broke through my seal all by himself!”
Curisa said to Ming in surprise, then looked at playfully Xiao Luo. “Hey, mortal, what’s your name?”
Xiao Luo’s eyelids twitched as he felt like this strange person was merely toying with him. The humiliation was unbearable, and Xiao Luo could not suppress his anger.
“F*ck you!”
Xiao Luo cursed the thin man and as his fighting spirit soared, he unleashed a kick to Curisa’s waist.
Xiao Luo swept his left leg into Curisa’s body with overwhelming might, sending a powerful stream of internal energy into the man.
Curisa’s raised his right leg to protect his flank, and when the force struck, it dissipated and spread out in all directions. Instantly, Xiao Luo felt that his entire leg go numb. He lost control and felt crippled before he lost consciousness for a moment.
“Your strength is unremarkably weak and you do not have the speed. How do you expect to hurt someone like me?”
Curisa laughed mockingly. His purple eyes suddenly shot out two rays of cold light, and with his right leg, he kicked Xiao Luo’s chest with lightning speed.
POW!
The kick struck Xiao Luo with a dull thud and he felt that his internal organs churning violently. The blow threw his body back like a cannonball.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Xiao Luo crashed through the trunks of three massive trees, recently transplanted to this wetland park, and tumbled across the ground for quite a distance before he came to a stop.
As Xiao Luo got up into a kneeling position, but he had taken a heavy blow and felt its effect as the pain surged in his body.
“Pfft!”
Xiao Luo spurted out thick blood from his mouth, and his face instantly turned pale.
“So, are you okay, mortal?”
Curisa slowly retracted his leg and nonchalantly called out to Xiao Luo, some 50 meters away.
“Xiao Luo!”
Su Li cried, and her eyes opened wide. The experience tonight was beyond her understanding.
Who were these two people with purple eyes?
What exactly were they doing here?
The Light Clan? Where was the Light Clan from?
A deluge of questions flashed in her mind. Yet, she was more concerned about Xiao Luo’s condition. Although she knew he was an outstanding fighter, there was no way such a terrifying kick would not injure him.
Xiao Luo struggled to stand up as he glared fiercely at Curisa. The traces of blood at the corner of Xiao Luo’s mouth gave him an indescribably evil scowl. The Yi Jinjing operated on its own to nurse his internal energy and heal his physical injuries.
“Hmm, he is very resilient. He can still move even after being beaten up.”
Curisa raised his eyebrows in surprise and showed more interest. He turned to Ming and said, “Your Majesty, please help me look after Her Highness. I’ll play with him for a while.”
Ming said nothing. With a light wave of his hand, Su Li, still on Curisa’s shoulder, was drawn by an invisible force, and found herself floating toward him. Before Su Li knew it, she was standing in front of him. Ming nodded stiffly to express his respect and loyalty.
“Your Majesty, it’s great to be your adjutant. You support me no matter what I do, haha, haha…” Curisa said and laughed raucously.
“I’ll give you half an incense’s time!”
Ming said flatly. He paused for a moment and then added, “Also, be careful when you attack!”
Curisa nodded and replied, “Don’t worry. I won’t be serious. I’m just playing with him.”
He stretched his neck from left to right, then took four to five steps forward. His purple eyes looked impassively at Xiao Luo. “Mortal, are you not going to tell me your name?”
“My surname is Ni, and Ba is my given name!” Xiao Luo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he walked toward Curisa.
“Ni Ba?”
Curisa frowned because he’d never heard such a strange name before. Then he realized Ni Ba meant “your father,” and Curisa was offended by the insult. “Do you know the consequences of making fun of me, mortal?” he said.
“What consequences?” Xiao Luo mocked with a smile.
Curisa saw the teasing look in Xiao Luo’s eyes and snorted. “You’ll find out soon enough!” he roared.
He removed his long saber from his waist and leaned it against a tree with its tip on the cement path. The tip of the sheathed saber sunk some five centimeters into the pavement.
“You don’t intend to use your saber?”
Xiao Luo’s eyes were glowering with rage. He did not care who the other party was. If they dared to bully his woman, they would have to deal with his wrath!
When Curisa heard this, he found it hilarious and cackled. “A mere mortal like you asking me if I’m using my saber to fight you? Do you see yourself as a big potato for me to slice up?”
“You will pay for underestimating your enemy!”
