The assassin organization had already put Joey's name into their hit list. So, bad karma was already linked between them. So, it was also considered breaking a taboo to Joey.
Both of them chanted a mantra in Sanskrit. Then, the lotus tattoos on their forehead completely faded away.
Rose cultivation base kept increasing until it reached lvl 2 of Senior-God realm. While Joey cultivation based had reached lvl 1 of Nascent-Soul realm. And three different energies filled up his whole body.
"Let me take care of them first." He said. Then he summoned his bow.
After that, he chanted mantra in Sanskrit and shouted, "Naga Astra!"
An arrow appeared on his hand. Then he infused his Yogic energy and Dharmic energy into the arrow and shot it at the air.
The arrow turned into a lively lvl 5 nine-headed- snake and looked at the 10 silhouettes in the air with its eighteen eyes fiercely.
After that, he chanted another mantra and shouted, "Tier-5 Vajra Astra!"
In the air, the ten assassins started channeling their essence qi and cast their skills at him.
"Jiu Tou, Tier-5 hurricane strike, activate!" Joey mumbled giving ordered to the nine-headed snake.
Suddenly, two eyes of one of the nine heads of the snake started producing a white glow activating the 'Hurricane Strike!'.
Suddenly ten hurricanes appeared and they all moved quickly toward those ten assassins. Even though the nine-headed snake was still a lvl 5 beast, her offensive ocular power was so strong.
Two of them dodged the hurricanes but the others were still rotating inside the whirlpool of the hurricanes.
Taking the chance, Joey shot the Tier-5 Vajra Astra toward them.
Zap! Zap! Zap!
The arrow turned into a pure white bolt of lightning and passed through the hearts of those eight assassins inside the whirlpool of the hurricanes. Then the snake deactivated her pair of glowing eyes and the hurricanes quickly vanished leaving only the lifeless bodies of the eight assassins on the ground.
The remaining two assassins stared at the corpse of their partners. One of them took out a red talisman paper and burned it to ash.
"Jiu Tong, activate your second ocular power, Snake's Charm!" Joey ordered.
Then the two eyes of the second head started glowing with yellow and activated the 'Snake's Charm'.
At that time, the two assassins happened to look at her eyes. Then, their eyes emitted a yellow color glow and remained dazed. After that, they started falling from the air rapidly.
Joey took out two ordinary arrows and infused them with essence qi and shouted, "Hou Yi's first skill, Piercing Lunar! "
Then, he released the arrows aiming toward the rapidly falling assassins. The two arrows turned into ice-elemental arrows and struck at their hearts. Then, they landed on the ground and remained frozen inside two hunks of ice.
Joey summoned back the Naga Astra and kept it inside his front robe. Then, he looked at Rose with an apologizing face and said, "Oops! I have killed all of them. Next time, I will give you the chance to fight first."
"It's okay. Brother Joey, you are so strong." She said with a smile while admiring her man in her mind.
At that time, ten white balls of souls came out of the dead bodies and started fleeing toward the sky.
Rose pointed her finger and a little Kun Peng flew toward the ten souls. But, before it reached them, inside Joey's heart, the slumbering azure- Dragon root opened one of its eyes. Then, it opened its mouth wide and started sucking toward the directions of the ten souls.
Suddenly the ten souls froze in the air and even the little Kun Peng made up of essence qi started fading away and finally turned into a speck of qi and vanished.
After that, the ten souls were quickly attracted toward Joey's direction and entered inside his chest. The Azure- Dragon root chewed them. It burped and entered into a deep slumber again.
"What! Brother Joey, are you alright? I see the souls just entered inside your body. What is going on?" Rose held his hand and asked with panicked.
"Darling Rose, I am fine. It's just that one of my heart roots is having its lunch. " Joey replied and caressed her face lovingly.
"Oh, that is strange. I have never heard of someone having a heart root that can consume another's soul. " She said and looked at him curiously.
"Alright, I will tell you the whole story. Actually, I am actually a half Dragon and half Human species. So, I have dual heart roots. One of them is the form of an Azure-Dragon root. It likes to feast on souls." Joey explained shortly.
"So, your mother is a mother a pure dragon. And, is it the reason why the dragon tribe has abducted her?" Rose asked.
"Yes. Sister Rose, you have found out that I am not pure human. What do you feel about me now? " Joey asked.
" Sweetheart! What are you thinking? I don't care anything about that at all. You are the only one for me. Ah! I am also slowly turning into a Kun Peng. What matters the most is our feeling." Rose hugged him tight and mumbled in his ear.
Joey hugged her back, sighed, and mumbled back in her ear, "Darling, today I am starting to miss my daughter and my sister suddenly after thinking of my mom."
Rose quickly moved back and exclaimed, "You already have a daughter! "
"Yep, she will turn 7 this month. " Joey replied.
Rose glared at him. Then, she turned her back and said, "Why don't tell me about her early? Don't you trust me enough? Hmm! Alright, tell me about her. " She looked at Joey curiously.
"Her name Tang Xiuying."
Then Joey began telling her the story from how he met her inside a cave in the Evergreen World and up to leaving her under the care of his master.
"She was always energetic and liked to chase after the little white tiger. How was she doing now that the white tiger was also not with her? " Joey looked up in the blue sky and asked himself softly.
