Chapter 1132: Chapter 85: The Maid Reappears_3
Facing the sudden change, Tiro knew clearly that it was his time to shine. He shouted loudly and leaped into the air, his hands drawing a circle in mid-air, and a surge of massive energy in the form of Red Battle Aura burst out. The pink poison mist was instantly contained within the circle he created, unable to spread any further. He wrapped the shrinking ball of poison mist with his Battle Aura and gently slapped it toward the ground. Under the influence of the Battle Aura, the condensed poison mist instantly sank into the ground, unable to spread and cause harm anymore.
Fagle barely managed to control the poison mist he had inhaled with the Battle Aura within his body, pointing at Ah Dai he said, "Catch him, don’t let him escape."
Only then did Ah Dai realize that this was all a trap. The person who had been sent by the Mercenary Guild to carry out the task intended to use the poison mist to harm the Lord of Duru City, and Ah Dai had unwittingly become the scapegoat. As he came to this realization, Tiro had already dealt with the poison mist. Even if Fagle hadn’t given the command, Tiro knew what to do. He floated up and threw a punch directly at Ah Dai’s chest.
The Red Battle Aura exerted tremendous pressure on Ah Dai, and the air around him seemed to heat up. Ah Dai placed his right palm in front of his chest to block Tiro’s punch. A disdainful smirk appeared on Tiro’s face as his body strangely trembled in mid-air, and the punch aimed at Ah Dai’s chest shifted to target his shoulder.
Tiro’s change in attack was swift, leaving no room for Ah Dai to react. By the time Ah Dai noticed the change, the fist was already less than three inches away from his shoulder. Helplessly, Ah Dai sank his shoulders and hunched his back, his body entirely relying on his intuitive feeling to swiftly rotate ninety degrees. The scorching Red Battle Aura almost grazed his shoulder, burning a large hole in his already tattered clothes. However, the residual energy from the intense Battle Aura was blocked by the Gigantic Spirit Snake Armor, leaving Ah Dai unharmed.
Tiro was too confident in his attack, and by the time he realized it was too late to retract his move, he was completely exposed, presenting half of his body to Ah Dai. Knowing that all of this was a misunderstanding, Ah Dai naturally wouldn’t harm him. He lightly placed his right palm on Tiro’s shoulder, retracted his Battle Aura instantly and sent Tiro flying away. Tiro felt himself enveloped by a pure Battle Aura and was unable to break free. When the Battle Aura disappeared, he found himself back beside Tifya. Since becoming a skilled fighter, Tiro had never encountered such a powerful opponent; though he knew Ah Dai had held back, he was still furious. Proud as he was, he did not allow himself to fail, especially with his beloved Tifya and the future-influencing Fagle beside him. He shouted angrily and charged forward again, his hands transforming countless palm shadows, pouring Red Battle Aura towards Ah Dai like a covering storm.
At this moment, Fagle’s Guards had also reached Ah Dai, eight high-level warriors wielding their weapons simultaneously targeting Ah Dai’s body. Ah Dai had no chance to explain; the immense pressure made him unleash all his latent ability. Centering his entire body around his left foot, he rapidly spun around, his fingertips flicking each of the eight weapons. Although Fagle’s eight Close Guards were skilled, they seemed fragile against Ah Dai’s nearly ninth realm Life Time True Qi. Each of them felt as if a huge hammer had struck their chests, their bodies flying up with the surge of Battle Aura, and all their weapons knocked out of their hands. Almost instantly, Ah Dai had repelled them all.
Tiro’s second wave of attacks had arrived by then. Being attacked repeatedly even due to a misunderstanding still made Ah Dai secretly furious. He roared loudly, and a greenish-yellow Battle Aura instantly formed a solid Shield centered around his right hand. The sound of fluttering impacts continued, and although Tiro’s attacks appeared grand and powerful, they seemed superficial compared to Ah Dai’s simple and unadorned Life-based Shield Change. All of the attacks could not shake the defense of the Shield, disintegrating into tiny sparks of Battle Aura that scattered in the air. Ah Dai flung his right hand, sending Tiro rebounding away. This time he had used some force, and Tiro felt a mighty force flinging him out, crashing heavily against the wall of the hall with a thunderous sound. This was the moment Ah Dai finally found a gap to explain, and he quickly shouted, "Stop, it’s a misunderstanding." As he spoke, his body transformed into a shadowy blur, swiftly floating beside Fagle. No one was able to intercept his smoky figure. Fagle was still struggling with the poison mist, utterly without the strength to resist. Ah Dai pressed a palm on Fagle’s shoulder, and a surge of powerful Life Time True Qi instantly rushed into his meridians. Relying on his own True Qi, Fagle had kept the poison mist outside his internal organs and was unhurt. Now, a thick and gentle energy merged into his Battle Aura, the very essence of vigorous Life Time True Qi. With Ah Dai’s help, he finally managed to force out the poison mist, vomiting a mouthful of black blood and feeling much more comfortable at once.
The surrounding Guards had encircled them once more, but seeing Fagle under Ah Dai’s hand, they hesitated to move forward, fearing unintended consequences.
Feeling somewhat weak, Fagle raised his hand and said, "Everyone, stop." He looked up at Ah Dai with gratitude and smiled, saying, "Young brother, thank you. What is going on?" Ah Dai’s action of forcing out the poison mist had clearly told him that Ah Dai was not there to harm him. Otherwise, having reached him earlier, Ah Dai could have easily taken his life instead of helping him expel the poison.
