“So…” Yun Ip Chun said, “Where is Deng Dandan. Did she run away or something?”

“She’s-She’s there.” Xiu said, pointing a shaky finger at where Dandan lay face down on the ground.

“Dandan? Baby girl?” Chun said. “Are you dead, Honey? Don’t tell me you let this man beat you?”

Dandan began stirring. “Don’t call me, Baby girl, fool!” she said, getting to her feet.

“Oh good, you’re still alive.” He smirked as he looked at an unimpressed and angry Ghou Gin. “Now you’re in trouble, bud.”

Ghou Gin laughed. “I easily took care of your friend. You don’t seem that much stronger than her…” Ghou Gin’s mouth opened and he got even angrier. “Are you drinking?!”

Chun stopped drinking and looked at Ghou Gin. He wiped his mouth of the alcohol. “Oh sorry. I’m about to destroy you, so I thought I would steady my nerves before I… you know, murder you.”

He slammed both hands on the ground and shouted as loud as he could, “EARTH PIKE CITY!”

The ground began to tremble. Earth Pikes shot out from everywhere, flowing out with Chun at the epicentre.

“Steam Leap!” Ghou Gin was propelled into the air with steam to dodge the massive earth pikes that covered a large area.

He landed outside of the perimeter of the city of earth pikes.

“This is bad.” Ghou Gin said. “Oh well, I know what I need to know. Xiu must be eliminated. Sorry, Little Xiu.”

Ghou Gin raised his arm and opened his palm. “Level 3 should be enough. Steam Expansion Bomb!” Steam began to gather above his hand as a giant sphere. Now, let me deliver this. “Steam Leap!” Steam propelled him into the air, high above the Earth Pikes. Ghou Gin tossed the sphere of steam to the centre of the Earth Pikes.

The sphere exploded. The Earth Pikes were violently swept away, even digging into the ground to carve out a crater. It expanded beyond the pikes to obliterate the nearby trees.

Ghou Gin landed in the middle of the crater.

“That’ll do.” He said to himself. “That’ll do.”
