Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 143: The art of bluffing (2)

One of them leaped in the air with a sudden cry employing internal energy in his strike. Liao Bao could sense them because the presence of internal energy can be felt all around him.

It even can be felt in the air.

He may not learn many attack techniques but Treading The wind technique can also be used in an unexpected attacking technique.

Liao Bao extended both of his arms to block and sweep in defence and the sound resulted from this clash between two men sounds like thunder, and the nearby bamboo explodes

At the same time Liao Bao release his internal energy at that person and he evade it with quick movements.

'Humph, which sect are you from!' that person asked while his eyes are trying to look and detect any of his blind spots.

'I come from no sect.'

'Liar!'

'HAHAHA...Say what you want!'

'YAHHHH' he looked incensed while his face is full with rage

That person stuck a fist towards him with great killing intent. Liao Bao was not flustered as he hooked his right hand backward and grabbed his wrist and throw him away in a swift motion.

He fell to the ground and everyone could hear that his bones broke

They look at him with more scrutiny. One of the men, distinguished from the rest is ordering all of them to focus on him.

Liao Bao is already exhausted. Using internal energy is taxing. He may use other people internal energy to strengthen himself but he is not yet a master in the technique.

He himself rarely used internal energy and his internal energy is not profound.

As he was thinking of all of this, another man sneaks a stealthy fist at the lady. Liao Bao might be tired but even he could still sense that undisguised killing intent

Liao Bao covered the area with his body and blocked it using his body as a sacrifice and took the full brunt of the attack.

he was thrown on the side near some bamboo trees.

'Young hero Zhang!' she said alarmed, and quickly she run to him.

He coughed some blood. But it is not so much because of the attack. It is more the fact that the internal energy he takes before is beginning to show some effect.

the internal energy in his body is running mad in all of his meridian line, because he did not yet assimilate those internal energies he stole with his own internal energy

And also the fact that he was attack so sneakily. It disrupts his assimilation of energy

'Uhuk, Uhuk. I'm alright my lady. Can you fight?' Liao Bao asked all the while scanning at his environment.

He did not kill anyone but he incapacitated about five people when he entered the battle. He did not want this to turn bloody and he do not want to ill if he could help it.

He looked at the girl.

'A little' she said.

Liao Bao could not defeat all of them. Not in his current condition. Unprepared and unready. Even he knows that

He rarely fights so in experience alone, he could not surpass thembut in one thing he can beat them and it is in bluffing.

Now that is his expertise.

'Wait!' He yelled as his voice echoes loudly in the area, amplified by his internal energy. He stands up appearing like he is standing with great ease, when in fact the pain is unbearable.

'Can I know your name?' He gestured to the man that seems to be leading the attacks while cupping his hand as a sigh of respect

He must be sect leader or at least the leader of these men. Seeing him giving the orders and these men follow his order, there is no doubt in Liao Bao mind that he is their leader.

And it seems they also seem relieved that we stopped fighting for a while. He spoke with a reassuring tone and an imposing appearance.

'I am Bai Daliang, and I'm the disciple of Li Guilin, Sect Leader of Lishan.'

'It is an honour' Liao Bao said as a courtesy.

'No, it is mine'

'May I offer some advice, hero Bai?'

He looked at him, and then he nodded.

'I implore that we fight one on one for the fate of this two people' he said suddenly while gesturing at the lady and her companion.

The lady looked worried but he winks at her, and her worries seem to be dispelled.

'You can send people to attack me, because your numbers are high but I must warn you if I fight all of you alone, I might not win but I can spread your dishonourable conduct to the martial arts world. Dozens of people fighting two persons. This cannot stand. Have you no shame?'

They began to whisper.

Surely, they must think if they kill these two or capture them that will be the end of it but they did not expect another martial artist to be passing around here.

'But fight me in fist to fist attack." Liao Bao suggested

'If I die both of these will become yours to do what you will. If I win, I will not spread what happen here in the mountain but I will take these two with me. And I will spare your life. I swear it on my honour'

Which does not mean much. Hehehe. Liao Bao laughed in his mind

'Are you a grand expert saying such arrogant things!' One of them yelled at him, pointing his finger vehemently.

'One of your people has already fight me and looked at him.' They looked at the collapsed man, like he almost at deaths door.

'I spare of his life because I think it is very unhonorable of me to take the life of people beneath me, and not to mention you might be some junior in martial art world, then people in the martial art world will accuse me of bullying.'

He said this, pretending like he is some great master of martial arts. Bai Daliang looked at him. Then he looked at his people.

They all seemed unsure. What to believe? Is he an expert opponent? Or is he just bluffing?  But even though he might be exposed that doesn't mean that he will lose. He has another plan prepared.
