Chapter 99: Running away!

The power displayed by Minos and Ruth's techniques was so great for their levels that both Leroy and Jeff were in complete disbelief at this. And even if the power emitted by Ruth was not so different from that of Jeff, Minos' blow was much stronger than Leroy's! And not only that, Leroy had realized that by the time he entered that area within the black ring in the sky, his speed had been reduced. And he was gradually losing his spiritual energy! 'What the fuck is going on?' Leroy thought as he tried to understand the changing events. He was supposed to win this fight in one stroke, and then he could have fun with beautiful Ruth. However, the reality was quite different. Even before his attacks collided, Leroy was sure he couldn't beat Minos! Green Shield! And even before he was attacked, Leroy immediately activated his defensive technique in an attempt to prevent injuries from Minos' attack. 'That wretch! But I doubt that his attack technique alone can destroy my attack and my defense together! Whoever has more spiritual energy will be the winner of this fight!' He thought confidently. And at the same time, bodyguard Jeff looked over at Minos and Leroy and sighed as he thought. 'If we stretch this fight, I can win this girl, as for the young master, I think he can hold it until I finish here...' Jeff then turned his attention to Ruth and started to fight her. Pow! At the same time, when Jeff and Ruth had started to fight each other, Minos and Leroy finally clashed. 'Ehh? Why isn't he using his blow to defend against my attack? 'Leroy thought, seeing Minos not giving a damn about his attack. Boom! The shield that appeared to be made of several roots, which Leroy was using to defend himself when he was struck by the blades of air created by Minos, was immediately destroyed, emitting an explosion sound in the place. Puff! The claws of spiritual energy that appeared in Leroy's hands slowly hit Minos' chest. Still, it barely scratched young Stuart's skin before finally breaking! "Ahhh!" Leroy let out a great cry of pain as he took several steps back, feeling various cuts through his body. The wounds were not enough for him to risk death, but it still hurt a lot and certainly diminished his proficiency in battle. "Miserable, I'm going to kill you!" He shouted in an angry voice. He, the young master of the Chambers family, a high-ranking power in the northern region of the Central Continent, had never been hurt like that before! Leroy was feeling extremely humiliated because of this. He was injured by a person who had not even reached level 40 yet. That would be a blemish on his fight records! At the same time, Minos did not listen to what Leroy was exclaiming. No, there was no point in them talking during a fight. This was just about killing or being killed! Spatial Sword! Again his attack technique was activated when Leroy felt his body getting heavier and saw Minos starting to launch other attacks towards him. 'Shit! Why does this guy have so much spiritual energy?' He lamented in his mind. Leroy did not understand how Minos could continue to launch his techniques as if he was not worried that his spiritual energy would run out! For him, only with the previous attack, Minos should be almost exhausted. However, the reality was ruthless for Leroy, who only had Black-grade techniques... ... While Minos and Leroy exchanged blows, Ruth had already spent half her energies, having several abrasions on her body. It was not easy for her to fight with such a difference, but she was still trying her best to hold on to her opponent. Pow! Jeff took another punch to the face as he staggered to the side. He was as hurt as Ruth, and he, too, had already spent almost half of his own spiritual energy. And with each passing moment, Leroy's bodyguard became more and more scared. 'How can she be so strong, just being at level 46?' He thought to himself. Jeff was starting to be afraid that these two youths that they attacked were of even stronger power than the Chambers family... If that were the case, then if they didn't eliminate these people today, their lives would certainly be taken another day! Boom! "Ahhh!" It didn't take long, and Jeff finally realized that his young master was increasingly weakened, to the point that he probably could no longer receive the following three attacks, which Minos had just unleashed. While Leroy agonized in pain because of the many cuts in his body, Jeff suddenly ran towards the blades that Minos had thrown, countering its. He had no choice. If this continued, even if he could beat Ruth, his young master would still be killed. That way, they could only retreat by the hour and get ready for revenge at another time! Upon seeing this, Ruth immediately ran to Minos, standing in front of him to defend against any attack that was sent in his direction. Swooish! Boom! An explosion occurred as soon as Minos and Jeff's techniques touched, while remnants of the attack spread in all directions, forming strong winds in that place. Minos held on to Ruth's waist while the young girl protected him from being hit by the enemy's technique. Simultaneously, Jeff grabbed Leroy by the waist, running at full speed from this location. If they didn't run away, a tragedy for him could end up happening. "Young master, we can't go on with this..." He said in a low voice as he moved quickly. 'Shit! Shit! Shit!' Leroy cursed in his mind. 'I'll remember that, bastards!' At the same time, as Leroy was taking his own oath, Minos spoke aloud in an icy tone. "Leroy Chambers, huh? Escape while you can. One day I will rip your head off!" "Rascal!" Before Leroy and his bodyguard finally disappeared from Minos' sight, that was the only word heard. Seeing this, Minos blew out a sigh of relief and looked at Ruth. She had many abrasions on her body and looked very pale at the moment. He then touched her face and asked in a concerned manner. "Do you have any serious injuries?" Ruth shook her head in denial and then said in a tired voice. "No, it's just external injuries. I will be fine after two days." "That's nice. Don't worry about those two. One day I will kill that bastard myself." Minos said in a determined voice. For him, the problem with Leroy could already be considered to have crossed the line, where there could still be chances for reconciliation. At the moment, Leroy was an enemy that had to be killed! He couldn't let such a scum live, especially after the things he had said he would do to Ruth. Ruth might not be Minos's wife, but at the moment, their relationship was excellent, and he couldn't bear to offend her. Therefore, he felt an indescribable hatred, perhaps as great as the hatred he had for those responsible for his father's death! "Hmm..." Ruth nodded in agreement. She could handle it herself, but she felt very good about knowing that Minos was on her side. Although it is not good to depend a lot on others, having someone to trust was an excellent thing... ... While Minos and Ruth rested elsewhere in that forest, their two enemies, Leroy and Jeff, had already covered dozens of kilometers. After some time, they finally stopped to recover, in a place full of trees and with a stream. Leroy then snarled as he leaned against a tree. "Shit! We don't even have the name of that bastard!" Upon hearing this, Jeff, who had just taken some spiritual pills out of his spatial ring, said in a confident voice. "Take it easy, young master. I'm sure that boy will participate in the Spiritual Tournament. That way, we can discover his identity when the competition starts." Leroy calmed down a little upon hearing this and started thinking about what he could do. He then said. "I cannot beat that wretch. Even if I had a weapon like his, it would still be a difficult fight. So, I can only use my intelligence to form a strong ally during the Spiritual Tournament, who can help me take care of that guy." Jeff then sat on the ground, and before he started to cultivate, he thought of something terrible, but he said nothing to his young master. 'I just hope that those two are from the North of the Central Continent. Otherwise, we will be dead in a very short time...' He hadn't said anything about his crazy thinking to Leroy because it was doubtful. There was no reason for people from outside this region to come to this place. It would be a waste of their precious time! However, he still couldn't help thinking about the challenging strength that Minos and Ruth showed.
