He gritted his teeth and cultivated another vital energy palm, and it attacked the headman again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They had battled three palms together. Mike's face was deadly pale with all the vital energy depleting
from his body. He panted strenuously and spit out blood. Using too much vital energy had taken a toll
on his body and strength.
"Mike, just give up and leave now! We won't let this asshole humiliate us. We'd rather die right now
than live without dignity! Don't worry about us!"
The two girls, one in a red dress, the other in white, both cried.
"You want to kill yourselves? Continue dreaming! I'll kill you, old donkey!"
the headman shouted and degraded Mike even more. He was furious to hear that the two sisters would
commit suicide. Suddenly, he activated all the vital energy in his body and released the power in the
premium stage of the Earth Realm.
A bloody wolf claw materialized and leaped forward, creating a sharp noise. With enormous power, it
charged at Mike's head directly.
"Brother, I'm sorry! I'm not able to safely protect the ladies. I'm so sorry for it!" Mike murmured.
Then he roared and cultivated a palm with all the might left in him. Once again, he smashed on the
headman.
"Mike, watch out!"
the two ladies screamed from the carriage.
They were clearly aware of the difference in power between the two, and that Mike might die with that
blow.
The headman had decided to kill Mike as soon as possible to get the two beautiful ladies. If they would
commit suicide, then all their efforts would be in vain. He must kill Mike with one last blow!
Boom!
A loud blare of things crashing together filled the entire area.
'What happened?
Why don't I feel hurt at all?
Did someone take the strike for me?'
Mike thought to himself when he felt no pain at all. After the blare, he touched his body and surprisingly
found that he was still alive. He slowly opened his eyes in disbelief.
Meanwhile, the headman of the Blood Wolf Team retreated a few steps backward.
Between the headman and Mike stood a handsome young man. Nobody knew when he arrived and
how he took the strike for Mike. The man gazed at the headman with obvious contempt on his face.
"Who- who are you?! How dare you!"
the headman angrily taunted after he came to himself, frantic with the meddling man. He then studied
him carefully.
Suddenly, the headman was not as arrogant as he was just seconds ago. Instead, his eyes were full of
scruple and alertness. After all, the young man just took his blow and even sent him retreating a few
steps back.
He might be able to defeat the young man if he would be prepared. But he also thought that the young
man must be powerful and formidable based on what just happened.
"W-w-who are you?"
Mike also came to his senses. He looked at the strange young man in front of him, completely
confused with his unsolicited presence.
"So- you just saved me?" Mike asked, still surprised by the young man's presence.
"How dare you? Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Blood Wolf Team! Listen to me, young
man. Don't mess with us. I know, young people always dream of being a hero. I advise you, don't put
yourself in trouble for the sake of useless fame!
I'm sure you have heard of our name, the Blood Wolf Team, right? You are too weak to fight against us!
Young man, for the sake of your life and bright future, don't do stupid things. You are also a strong
cultivator.
I admire your courage, and I don't want to let you die at such a young age. You offended me just now,
but I will spare you for this. You are free to go now," the headman said.
He also realized that the young man's cultivation base was pretty strong. He let the young man go not
because he was afraid of him. He didn't want him to join and fight with Mike. If they allied, it would be
difficult for him to win.
Moreover, if the battle would last long, the girls would have enough time to end their lives.
Therefore, the headman wanted to persuade the young man to leave so that he could finish Mike soon.
The young man who had taken the headman's palm attack and saved Mike was, none other than,
Austin.
Austin admired Mike's loyalty very much, so he didn't want to see him die under the ruthless Blood Wolf
Team. At the critical moment, he came to Mike's rescue.
"Ha-ha! I'm sorry, but I can't leave now. I was indebted to the two ladies for a meal. I don't care if you
spare me or not. But I do care about the favor that the two ladies have done for me. I must pay my
debt!"
Austin smiled.
'What? A meal? Is he-
the little beggar?' the two ladies in the carriage thought and cried out. "Ladies, you treated me to a
meal today.
Don't you remember?
I thought we had a good time."
"Little beggar? Are you really the little beggar?"
the girl in red dress inquired.
"Err-"
Austin hesitated. He didn't know how to explain that he was not a beggar. The two beautiful ladies on
the other had settled that he was indeed a beggar.
"Alva, he is really the beggar that we met today! He looks a little familiar to me.
Little beggar, you are more handsome than the last time we met. You look different now. Where did you
get your clothes? Did other people give them to you?
In fact, you look pretty good in those new clothes!" she uttered in amusement.
"Ahem- Ahem-"
Austin didn't know how to answer such praises from a beautiful lady. That was the first time that
someone praised his appearance.
But today, when he met the two ladies at the hotel, he was in a terrible condition. His clothes were
ragged, and he was dirty all over––no wonder they thought of him as a beggar.
He had a good shower and a change of new clothes. Even though he might not be very handsome
now, he was clean and decent compared to before.
There was a striking contrast between his appearance from when they met and now. Therefore, the girl
thought that he was much handsomer than he actually was.
"Little beggar, why are you here? It's dangerous to stay here. Go quickly!"
the white-dressed girl said urgently. She was elder than her sister, so she was more aware of the
danger that they were faced with. She didn't want one more innocent person to die with them.
Her words reminded the girl in red dress, and the latter panicked.
"She's right! Little beggar, just leave now. It's very dangerous!"
the girl in red also reminded him, with genuine concern dripping from her tone.
Austin felt touched with their worries. How kindhearted the two ladies were! Even though they were in a
grave situation, they still cared about other people's lives beyond themselves!
