Kaboom!

A loud explosion wrecked the entire area as a body abruptly flew out of the explosion leaving a trail of blood in the air before slamming into a nearby tree trunk with abandon, smashing the tree trunk into bits as the tree fell to the side;

Cough! Cough!

Blergh!

The explosion woke Ji Long and the First Obun Elder in time to see the blood spraying Dara fly out of the point of detonation and smack into the tree which fell to the side as they quickly jumped to their feet and rushed over;

"Tribe Leader!"

Meanwhile…

Within the battle between the Royal Guards and Ji Tribe troops, about 200 Obuns laid on the ground without their heads as the Royal Guards finally figured out that it was the only way to stop them from coming at them once again after being attacked…

But on the Royal Guard's side, there were only thirty experts left with about half of them significantly injured and bleeding, whilst some were just taking out the arrows from their limbs…

They have been trying so hard to reach the Ji Tribe archers, but the Obuns simply kept getting in their way like nuisances whilst the archers inflicted damage on them from a safe distance, and there was the Second Obun Elder who had managed to kill about 6 of them already despite all of them being in the Peak Qi Creation Stage…

But just as the archers were about to rain another load of arrows on their enemies, the explosion happened distracting all of them, as three of the Roya Guards grabbed the unconscious King Tian, threw out a smoke screen and fled, leaving the rest to buy them some time…

Fu realized that they were being left behind and looked to Dara who raised his hands at the approaching First Elder and Ji Long before pointing back at Fu and his partners, as the First Elder and Ji Long grabbed their swords and bolted towards Fu with caution as they have seen what that exploding knife had done to their Tribe Leader…

Fu saw this and was also scared as he threw another explosive knife towards the incoming duo and another towards the archers who were abruptly caught off guard before following it up with two smoke bombs;

The First Elder and Ji Long split apart as they dodged the knife only to see it land in front of Dara as Fu smiled;

"Katsu!" [It means detonate or explode…]

Kaboom! Kaboom!

The knife exploded at point blank sending Dara hurtling about thirty meters away with blood all over the ground, as the First Elder and Ji Long gritted their teeth and jumped into the smoke screen;

But by the time they reached Fu's location, they were nowhere to be found, except for two black fanny packs that were left in the ground…

Meanwhile in the other battleground, more than fifty archers who were tribesmen had lost their lives with their limbs, gores and intestines splattered all over the place as well as another 100 Obuns who jumped towards the exploding knives to contain the explosion and prevent the human tribesmen from getting hurt but was too late eitherways…

The Second Obun Elder also reached King Tian's location but he was also nowhere to be found, and the rest of the Royal Guards were also gone…

He looked back and realized that there were only about 100 Obuns left and they were all not in good shape and the rest of the fifty archers were also covered in blood of their tribesmen and injured as well;

But their eyes were somewhat lost as they looked at the remains of their brothers and comrades splattered all over the ground with wide eyes…

The First Obun Elder and Ji Long on the other hand ran towards Dara who was beneath dusts and debris, unmoving and battered as they took away the debris over him to check on his injuries…

His mask was cracked and there was blood leaking out of the wailing mouth, but his amour still held intact without as much as a scratch;

The only injuries they could find on him was his broken arms and legs which were now twisted in odd angles, as well as the brunt marks and the bleedings on the few parts of his body were the amour could not cover like his neck, joints and hands…

Ji Long quickly placed his ears on his chest and heard a fading heartbeat as he screamed for the First Obun Elder who bellowed instructions to the Second Obun Elder to gather the rest of the troops and bring them back to the tribe;

Then he grabbed the two fanny packs Fu's group left behind, picked up Dara's weapons and followed behind Ji Long who had already hoisted Dara onto the mount and was now bolting back towards the tribe…

The Second Obun Elder and the rest of the 150 men left in the troop all rushed after them creating protection as they rushed their Tribe Leader back to the tribe…

Meanwhile…

The moment they left, a figure covered with bushes and branches came out of the bush and walked across the battle ground and when it confirmed that everyone was gone he muttered to himself;

"To think they would choose to resolve the matter this way…"

"Luckily for me I had anticipated this and captured that kid's parent before forcing him to go deliver my message to the Royal Elders…"

The figure spoke as he walked around the area, bending to pick some debris on the ground and even using a stick to poke some other substances as it kept looking at the entire battleground with beaming smiles as he looked over the craters and bloody remains of experts that decorated the entire area…

"Now, everything else is in their hands, if they like, they should seize this chance I have given them to slaughter those three idiots and destroy the teleportation formation like I have advised, and if they like they should mess everything up…"

"As far as everyone is concerned, I am already dead, and now I can move on with my plans without the fear of being found out by anyone…" He spoke to himself;

"But what will you do when you do get found out?"

A voice abruptly floated towards the Bush Covered Figure who was so calm like he had been expecting it as he turned around to face the owner of the voice and responded...
