"It's those bastards from the branch of Lilybroon lynx clan, I and Brother Springdove were shopping for some artifacts when they surrounded and demanded for a spar" Fred with hurt and anger poured out.

"Spar!" Lee muttered under his breath, as the dots in his mind began to cross.

"Regarding Springdove's temperament, he wouldn't want to fight"

"Yes Young master Lee, Brother Springdove rejected but those good for nothing didn't accept" Fred clenched his fist, twisting his face with glints of anger flashing across his eyes.

"I was only able to escape because they had no need of me, their target was Brother Springdove!"

Lee in split seconds could already understand what happened, Springdove rejected and then.....

"How many are they?!" Lee immediately questioned.

"Four!"

"Take me there immediately!"

"Ok, Young master Lee"

**********

"Bam!"

Three fist flew towards Springdove, who immediately blocked sharply with his essence weapon, but the force behind those blows were too much for him handle, as he took several large steps back.

"Weakling!" Spat rudely a brawny lad, with dark long hair. He had an outlandish looking chain hanging on his neck, his could only be regarded as average looking.

"You good for nothing retards, why don't you face me squarely, one on one!" Springdove whose hair had become disheveled, his previously white robe had taken the colour of the ground.

"Aren't you one of those who was selected into the Four Ruling Sect, you should be able to handle the three of us" A wide grin formed on the face of one of the brutes who had been battling Springdove, he had white lines on his dark hair like streaks of lightning, he wasn't thin and wasn't also brawny; he stood on the line.

They were close to the Gathering point and so a lot of people gathered to watch them, this even made it more embarrassing for Springdove and the other way round for the Lilybroon lynx branch callants.

"One down, We go after the remaining two, that's more bonus for us Greenline" said the average looking lad.

"Jawbone, it wouldn't be easy, they wouldn't be as easy this Weakling, that would be for our senior brothers to handle" Greenline, the lad with white lines on his hair uttered.

"Haha, you guys overestimate yourself, if you have not teamed up against me and if Yan Zo had not interfered, do you think you can defeat me to this extent, fools!" Even while in pains, Springdove chuckled mockingly, to him they really overestimated themselves.

"Domain, go deal with him till he can't spit rubbish again!" Jawbone said to the third lad who stood beside them.

The lad referred to as Domain nodded his head, and dashed towards Springdove, who surprisingly didn't bother to evade, he made use of his essence sword to support his body from falling, with his head lowered he expected to be beaten to a plum, he knew the clan wouldn't act unless he was killed, which they wouldn't dare do, but for spars like this, nothing much would come out it.

With his head bowed he expected the worse.

He waited ...

And waited....

Seconds passed and nothing happened, curiosity sprang in his already weak mind, and then he slowly rose his head. Glints of shock and surprise flashed across his eyes, as he saw the straight back of a familiar figure that stood gallantly, who had appeared before him, He stared at the white cub that stood on his shoulder and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Leeeee!" Springdove didn't know where the strength came from, but he excitedly rushed towards Lee.

"Brother Leee this Bass.." Springdove was about complaining. It was then he saw the fist of Domain that struggled to get loose from Lee's hands which clamped it like tongs.

"Brother Springdove, how many of them hit you?" Lee had an expressionless face, but the fury in his heart could boil water.

"That crazy Yan Zo, I never knew he was at the third stage of spiritual refinement, he exhausted me before these three retards took over" Springdove said as he sent his eyes towards a lad who was not to far from their area, he had arrogance plastered all over his face, he folded his arms across his chest, and sent mocking looks towards Lee.

Lee only spared the so called Yan Zo a glance, which hurt badly the arrogant lad, some people in the crowd noticed it, and it began to spark conversations.

"That's all right?" Lee questioned.

"Yes Brother Lee, are you planning to..!"

"Don't bother just watch!" Lee immediately interrupted.

Springdove stared at Lee, it was then it came to his notice that Lee had clamped Domain's fist all through, when did he become so strong, he was still thinking about this when Domain who had lost his face yelled.

"You bastard, set me free!" Domain yelled as he swung his fist towards Lee's head.

Pa!

Like lightning Lee sent a slap towards the latter's face even before his fist could reach him.

Domain felt has though he had been hit by a train, his ears were ringing, and he was sure that the slap had broken some of his teeth but he didn't want to disgrace himself further so immediately began to swallow the blood that had accumulated in his mouth.

Springdove stared shocked at the bloody handprint that had surfaced on Domain's face and he could utter no word, even if Lee was at the third stage of spiritual refinement which he presumed the lad would be.As a swordsman in that stage you should only have a body strength of about

180 Pims, which a mystical blood injector on the second stage would surpass with a body strength of at least 200 to 250 Pims.

"How did Brother Lee become so strong!" Springdove stared at he callant and couldn't help but ponder.

"Who is that!"

"His he a swordsman or a blood injector?!"

"Why is he so strong?!"

"That's the Young master of Wateredge clan, what do you expect"

"Wateredge are very formidable then!"

Conversations began to rise among the crowd, while the faces of Greenline and Jawbone had become stiff even Yan Zo was shocked but tried his best to hide it.

"I said free me!" Domain screamed, with how one slap had hurt him, he knew he was no match for the latter, he didn't want to appear like a coward so he still tried to struggle and act tough.

"Has you wish!"

Lee pulled Domain closer through his arm that he held captive.

Pa!

Pa!

Like a whip Lee landed his palm on Domain's face who was darting towards him with the momentum of the pull.

"*Vomit*"

Domain took several steps back, this time he couldn't hold it any longer, has he began to spit out blood with white substances following along, precisely his teeth.

Everyone had their jaw ajar.

Three slaps, and a second stage spiritual refinement blood injector was defeated by a swordsman!

A miracle had just happened.

"Jawbone let us deal with this bastard together!" Yelled Greenline.
