The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao stood panting. The rest of the people were just looking at him in a daze. Alisha had a smirk on her face when she noticed Dwaj's reaction to the slash. The sword attack carried the hint of sword intent. However, she did not know why the boy was hiding his cards. He could have easily cut off the head of this five-colored boa without taking the risk. 

Suddenly, as if waiting for her to think like this, a group of people came out of the treeline from the side. They all did have a kind expression on their faces. She was about to act up when an old voice sounded, "Let the juniors deal with this matter. I will not make a move if you do not make a move." 

She and the other golden core cultivators stopped moving as they all heard the voice directly echoing in their minds. This was a sign that the person behind this voice was a nascent soul realm person. 

...

Kia said, "Someone." and turned his face to look at a group of five people. They all wore different robes and masks but one thing that was common between them was the snake engraved on the masks and robes. 

Thale clicked his tongue and said, "Slither Mercenary Guild." 

Jake nodded and came to stand on the side with him and Kai. Thale said, "Daina, move back and be careful of sneak attacks." 

Daina nodded and took out her whip ready to attack. Yang Dao did not say anything just stood beside the little girl. 

The person leading the other group said, "Leave this snake and that natural treasure." 

Thale said, "Why should I?" as soon as his words dropped a gust of wind blew. 

The other side did not reply but someone from their side attacked directly. Do not look at Thale's amiable personality, he was a terrifying sadist deep down, and a pair of short swords flashed in his hands. 

Clang...

He blocked the incoming attack and pushed back the person. He said with a sigh, "Well, as expected from a bunch of robbers, do not even introduce yourself before attacking? Guess I have to teach you all manners." 

He did not say much and the battle erupted just like that. The leader of the enemy group said, "Third, finish it quickly. Leave them a breath to take a healing pill. Second, take fifth, and fourth to deal with the others." 

Their names were simple, First, second, third, fourth, and fifth. It seemed as if these people had no will of their own and they followed the commands with ease. Third was engaged with Thale. Fourth met with Jake and Fifth was forced back by Kai. 

Second wanted to attack Yang Dao however, his path was cut off by a grumpy Daina. She said, "Are you looking down on me?" 

Without giving the attacker any chance, her whip began to wave and lash out at the person. The four people were fighting quite seriously. Jake and his opponent Fourth had vanished inside the treeline as they were both long-distance combatants. Kai was entangled with his opponents as they exchanged fists. 

The leader of the enemy group clicked his tongue but did not act. Yang Dao also stood at the side silently. His calm and smooth aura attracted the attention of the enemy leader he asked, "Why did you not act? Are you scared, little boy?" 

Yang Dao did not react and sat down on the ground with his sword in his lap and began to meditate. His aloof ignorance made the enemy leader irked. He said, "Humph If they take more time and effort, kill them. They are not in their sects at the moment. I would like to see what they can do to us." 

His words attacked his subordinates faster and the intensity also increased. They all had a cultivation base of the later stage of Spirit Formation Realm.

After ten minutes, the first one to lose was none other than Daina. She had just recently stepped into the first realm of the spiritual gathering. When the opponent was about to use his spear skills to overwhelm her, the little girl retreated and came to stand behind Dao. 

She said, "Dao, wake up. You can take him on. My cultivation is lagging." she wiped off some sweat from her forehead. 

This operation made the face of the enemy leader darker. At the same time, Alisha had an urge to chuckle. But she held it in. Dwaj said, "Sister, what to do. Will they be able to hold on?" 

Alisha said, "Senior, I hope you do not go back on your word once things get serious. I can tell you, it will not be a duel. Please ask your people to leave." 

However, she did not get any reply. Her words were heard by the enemy leader as well. This pissed him off even more. This guy was the young genius of the snake mercenary and had killed a few people higher than his realm. He was given four subordinates as a reward, and he had come out for the first time with these people. 

He heard sounds of battles with the snake and then he decided to steal stuff. However, these people were resisting them. Even if they had a higher spiritual cultivation base, they were not able to deal with these things faster, his impatient personality was irritated and these words from Alisha only denoted him even more. 

He said, "I would like to see what you will do. Come, show me if you have the guts." 

Alisha glanced at him but did not react. The person thought she was holding back because of the presence of his guardian. He became even more pompous and said, "Humph, Barking dogs do not bite. Bitch, you should better stay quiet or I will have my people break these little toys." 

Alisha might not have been affected by these words, but Dwaj could not take it in and jump from the tree. The girl noticed this and said, "DWAJ, COME BACK." 

Dwaj hesitated and was about to take action when a strong force pushed him back. An old man appeared behind the enemy youth leader. He said, "Junior, stand back. I will not meddle if any younger one took action, but do not cross my bottom line." 

Dwaj wanted to react when a scream attracted everyone's attention. They all turned to the side and found, Second, kneeling on the ground as Yang Dao stood beside him in a martial art stance. 

The boy sighed and stood up. He said, "Brute strength is a weapon that can you used by you and on you. Idiot." 

Earlier when Daina told him to wake up he reacted and met Second in the battle, he did not take out his sword of the sheath and only used it to make unarm the opponent, and then he used the principles of hard and soft skilfully before kicking the knee of the opponent. He kicked it so strongly that the knee broke making the enemy scream. 

The people were surprised and did not even notice what happened just now, because the time was too short. Yang Dao looked at the old man and said, "Senior, can I challenge this person for a duel?" 

The old man nodded without hesitation. Yang Dao said, "I cannot promise if I can control my strength. Since he is the leader of this group that means defeating him shall make you leave here in peace." 

The old man again nodded. The enemy leader said with scorn, "Kid, are you a bit too ahead in your head? Who do you think you are?" 

Yang Dao gazed at him indifferently and said, "I will tell you my name after I beat you to the pulp for using bad language to talk to my senior sister." 

His words infuriated the already agitated enemy leader and the person vanished from his spot. First had cultivation nearing the peak of the spirit formation realm. He used his movement technique with a low grunt. 

"Slither Steps." 

His movements were akin to a snake ready to sink his fangs in the flesh of his prey. Yang Dao did not underestimate his opponent and watched the enemy vanishing from the spot, he closed his eyes and sensed the movement of first through the air and the earth. His brain worked quickly and the boy placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and he said, "Spirit Wind Slash." 

The next movement he vanished from his position, and on his right-hand side first appeared holding a sword ready to strike down. However, he was frozen in that position, the reason was not that Yang Dao was not there. The reason was a thin line of blood appeared on his throat. 

The attack was not only this shallow cut on his body but the treeline behind them had been cleared by a clear incision made on the tree barks. Yang Dao said, "I do not have a great enmity with you. But next time, you might meet someone who will not spare you.. Leave."
