Devastating The Murim with My Little Sister
Chapter 41: Weak.

Chapter 41: Weak.

P.O.V - David.

I ask Doka Min a question and he looks at me and starts laughing.

"Do not misunderstand this." He says.

"I personally do not care what you do to that young man in your hands.

So do not think you can hold him hostage against me.

I was sent here to assist the Ximen Clan with their mission.

I was supposed to meet with the Clan Master but after coming here we found out he was missing.

After meeting the Grand Elder, I was in my lodging when Ximen Jong approached me.

He convinced me to help him out and since I was bored I felt, why not?

And I would say, it is beginning to seem I really made the right decision.

So let me ask you again, who are you really?" He throws a question at the end after speaking while releasing his Aura to intimidate me.

His aura affects the kids and they seem to begin to come to their senses slowly.

"I see, if you want to know something, why don’t we trade?" I ask him still holding unto Ximen Jong.

"Hmmm, what are you proposing?" He asks.

"I will answer all your questions, but I want this children safely out of here." I tell him, my voice clear and audible.

He says nothing for a while.

He stands there, his hand on his chin, looking down as if pondering on something.

"And how do you suppose we work that out?" He asks raising his head to look at me.

"You don’t expect me to just let you take them and leave, do you?" He says.

"If you are bothered that I would not come back then you need not worry, if I don’t you could always get the children again and how could I possibly escape from a Martial Masters such as yourself." I try to convince him.

"Hmmm, you are indeed smart." He says.

"So..." I try to say something but he cuts me off.

"But you see, I don’t like that idea, as you said, how could you possibly escape from me." He snaps his fingers as he says this and I feel killing intents from five different spots in the trees.

"Wait, wasn’t it Ximen Jong who had control of them?" I thought to myself.

At this point the children were well conscious.

I immediately drop Ximen Jong and try to protect the children.

Moving to catch the arrows, I was able to catch three while two lodged in my left thigh and left shoulder.

The Heavenly Demon Technique and the Phantom Technique were still activated so I was loosing ki fast.

I need to find a way to end this fast.

But how?

As I thought to myself while dropping the arrows, a hand suddenly grabs my neck and pulls me off my feet into the air.

It was the Martial Master, Doka Min.

I was choking.

It became hard to breathe.

"Now you are going to answer all my questions." He says looking sternly at me.

He’s stronger than Ximen Hong.

I was only able to beat Ximen Hong because he let his guard down and I used the Heavenly Demon Forms.

Do I really have to use it again?

Though I’m now an Early Peak, using it would still put serious strain on my body.

I was engrossed in my thoughts when I suddenly heard a little girl’s voice shout out loud from below.

"Leave him alone you bad guy!"

I look down and I see Hwa kicking this man over four times her size with her hands still tied behind her.

"What is this little girl doing!?" I thought to myself.

Doka Min looks at her and I could tell he was about to do something.

"He...hey, hey, look at me, let’s talk, a...ask, what you want to hear." I manage to speak out, trying to divert his attention from Hwa.

He ignores me and tries to grab her.

I immediately pulled out a dagger and swiftly stab it into his arm which was holding me.

He immediately releases me and withdraws as I drop to the ground.

My hair fades back to black and the dark fog around me begins to subside.

I cough a little.

"This is pathetic, for how long will I remain this weak?" I think to myself looking at my palm.

I turn to look at the children behind me.

"This children, they are my weakness.

This is why Master said we shouldn’t let unnecessary emotions creep into our hearts.

I should just leave them here." I thought to myself.

Hwa comes up to me looking concerned.

"But would Diana be happy with that decision?" A question pops up in my head.

I could feel the killing intent of all the Martial Artists in the trees, waiting eagerly to send their arrows flying.

If they all fire I wouldn’t be able to protect all the children.

I heave a sigh as I try to get up.

I look up and see the Martial Master trying to stop the spread of the poison with his Ki.

It was a quick spreading poison so it might be difficult for him to stop even as a Martial Master.

"Stay behind me Hwa." I say with a low voice.

I heave a sigh.

Enough is enough.

If I’m going to be soft then I need to use everything at my disposal to ensure I don’t loose what is dear to me.

T.P.P

David pulls out a Ki boosting pill out of his storage ring.

He places it in his mouth and swallows.

He closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath and then exhales.

As he exhales, the Spiritual Beast dashes at him trying to pounce on him.

Slowly, he opens his eyes.

His pupils glowing blood red.

"Sit!" David commands the beast with a cool low voice.

His killing intent blazing like a wild fire.

The beast immediately comes to a halt, whimpering before him.

His hair gradually turns red from its tips.

The colour now brighter than before.

He heaves a sigh.

"You all attacked me and took innocent children hostage, even if I am greatly injured, none of you shall live past this night...

Heavenly Demon Technique, First Form..."
