Opening the gate I see one of the waitresses from the canteen, panting and sobbing.
"What's going on?" I ask her calmly.
"Please help me! Da...Mrs Dang Ki Ran is in trouble."
"What are you talking about?" I ask her.
"She...she went to rescue Rin, her daughter." She replies me in a hurried tone.
"Rescue? rescue her from what?" I ask her, still confused.
"There is no time to explain." She says as she begins pulling me by my hand.
We go all the way to Ran's place.
Entering her room I couldn't believe what I was looking at.
Surrounding her were some of her people from the canteen.
She laid on her bed passed out, her hands and legs twitching.
She has cuts over her body.
Her blood and veins were green.
She was dieing from poison.
In the entire Sichuan, no in the entire Orthodox Murim Faction, ther is only one Clan who uses poison like this, the Dang Clan.
"What happened!" I yell out rushing to my knees by her side.
I check her body.
She's dieing, and fast.
Who could have done this.
I was getting angry.
"Who did this!" I ask this time my voice deeper.
Just then Ran grabs hand.
She turns to me, tears falling down her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want you involved." She barely manages to utter before she passes out again.
I turn to look at the waitress who had brought me here.
"Tell me what happened, immediately." I ask her trying to control my anger.
She hesitates for a while before speaking.
"R...Rin was abducted, b...by the First Son...Dang Hyuk.
A note was left saying 'Bring Dang So'.
Miss Ran didn't want to involve you so she went to try and rescue her herself.
But an hour after she left, she was found in front of the door like this."
I hear this and my blood boils.
But I try to hold it in.
This was not the place.
This was not the time.
I keep quiet.
I turn back to Ran.
I had to try and stabilize her first.
To keep her away from danger.
I begin trying to push out and extract the poison with my Ki.
It was hard since I was still a First Rate Martial Artist but I had to.
I couldn't possibly let this happen.
She says she didn't want to involve me?
Funny, when I'm the one who actually got you guys involved in my shit.
Don't worry Ran, I promise, nothing is gonna happen to you and Rin, I promise.
After a while I had successfully managed to stabilize her.
I was quite exhausted but I had work to be done.
"Where is the location?" I ask the waitress who brought me here.
"Sichuan's Night District Flower House." She replies.
"I see, take care of her, I'll be back." I say as I walk out the door.
I immediately begin my journey to the night district flower house.
It is a kind of hotel where people go to eat, have fun and fuck.
It was one of the biggest in Sichuan.
It was a three story building.
For Dang Hyuk to use that place.
That must mean, even though the Dang family has fallen so low, they must still have that much influence in Sichuan.
As I reach the door of the ground floor I sense a lot of guards in the building.
The building was empty aside from the guards.
There were a total of twenty Early Peak martial artists.
Five on each floor.
Without hesitation I walk into the building.
As I walk in I then realized I had no weapon on me.
I am greeted by two guards, both in their fourties.
"The First Son asked us to bring you up." One of them says.
So that means he is most likely on the top floor.
I try to move towards the steps but am stopped by the hand of one of the guards.
I look up at him and he says with a smug face.
"You need to follow us"
A little smirk creeps up my face.
My killing intent grew and so did the dark aura around me from David's Phantom Technique.
I gently held his forearm.
He looks at my hand and I suddenly applied pressure and...Snap! It broke.
He began screaming.
I pulled him down to my level and snapped his neck, silencing him.
The other guard tries to grab me.
I caught his left hand and flipped him over my body, slamming him to the ground.
As he hit the ground I place my foot between his arm and his ribs as I began pulling his arm from his shoulder joint.
Slowly I feel his tendon and ligaments tear as he screams in pain.
The other three guards rush at me, this time with their swords out.
I keep pulling and before the three could reach me I finally pull out his arm spraying blood everywhere from his axillary artery.
As they get closer to me I dash towards one.
Using the arm I had just removed as a weapon and re-enforcing it with little Ki, I hit him in the jaw knocking him out in one hit.
The other two approach.
I dodge their slashes and counter attack with a swing with the arm, one manages to dodge but the other couldn't.
I hit that one hard and he was sent crashing into tables.
I look at the arm I was holding and it was no longer usable.
I drop it and dash towards the last guard too fast for him to react.
I stop just short of him.
I hit his knee hard causing him to drop to his knees.
I grab his neck with my right hand and my fingers begin sinking in.
He tries to swing his sword at me with his right but I parry his hand away with my left hand.
He tries using his left hand to hit me.
I swiftly let go of his neck, slap his hand away and go back to grabbing his neck.
He looks at me, his eyes teary.
"Pl...please..." He pleads.
I fully grab his trachea and oesophagus as I pull down and pull out.
He drops to the ground, his blood pouring unto the floor.
I look at my hand.
"I haven't fully grasped this technique, I was meant to pull out only his trachea." I say to myself.
I begin walking towards the steps.
The ground floor was covered in blood, five bodies laid on the ground.
I climb up the stairs and am greeted by another set of five guards.
They immediately pull out their swords as they see me, covered in blood.
I dash towards them.
Screams of men were heard from this building from over three hundred meters away.
I kept killing and killing, floor by floor until I got to the door of the first floor.
At this point I was completely soaked in blood.
My hair was no longer white.
My hair was dripping red but the Heavenly Demon Technique wasn't activated.
It was all the blood of those guards.
I open the door and there stood Dang Hyuk, standing behind five guards.
There was one more guard I hadn't noticed earlier standing at the edge.
He was a Late Peak Martial Expert.
I look straight at Dang Hyuk and I ask him.
"Where is Rin?".
