Gods of Destruction

Chapter 9 Shirin

"Get out!"Abbas roared, swinging his arms. A powerful, invisible gust of wind suddenly surged and swept towards the oncoming people.Bang, bang, bangThe incoming individuals were instantly thrown by the gust of wind and crashed to the ground.Seeing this, the young man's eyes grew even more fearful. He pleaded, "Little brother, spare me. I will surely repay your kindness in the future.""Have you ever thought about sparing the life of that old man?"Nasser Reza said coldly. Suddenly, he threw a punch that struck the young man's cheek, instantly breaking several teeth and causing them to spew out mixed with blood."Ugh, ugh, ugh..."The young man's throat twitched continuously, his mouth opening and closing as if trying to say something, but no clear sound came out."Have you ever thought about giving this young lady a chance to live?"Without any mercy, Nasser Reza threw another punch, hitting the young man's eye socket. This time, a mix of purple, red, and white splattered from his eyes, and even his eyeballs were turned to pulp.At the same time, Nasser Reza released his other hand that was gripping the young man's arm. The young man's body tilted backward and fell heavily to the ground, leaving his condition unknown, whether dead or alive."Miss, are you willing to come with me?"Nasser Reza turned and extended a hand towards the young woman, speaking slowly.The young woman looked at the young man in front of her, momentarily at a loss. After a long while, a trace of determination finally appeared in her eyes, and they once again shone with light. She suddenly grasped Nasser Reza's outstretched hand, and at the moment their hands clasped, an indescribable emotion spread through her heart."Yes."The young woman nodded."What is your name?" Nasser Reza asked."Shirin," the young woman replied.The young woman looked at the somewhat lean Nasser Reza in front of her and felt an inexplicable desire to spend her life with him.Clap, clap, clapThree applause sounds suddenly echoed."Hahaha, what a heroic rescue of a damsel in distress."A voice with a hint of coldness rang out, and then a middle-aged man with a muscular build emerged from the crowd. His eyes showed some appreciation, but his voice carried a faint trace of killing intent.Nasser Reza turned to look at the man, his expression slightly darkening. From the man, Nasser Reza sensed a faint sense of danger. Abbas and Hina also picked up on it and moved closer to Nasser Reza."Although I'm quite pleased to see you kill this useless fool, he is under my protection as a hired guard, so you must die," the middle-aged man said."Bold words!"Abbas shouted, forming a surge of energy in his palm. With a sudden swipe, the energy turned into a blade of wind and swept toward the middle-aged man, while Abbas's body also charged forward."So you are a practitioner," the middle-aged man said, his eyes narrowing in surprise. He then threw a punch, and the fierce wind from his punch immediately dispersed and nullified the wind blade."Too bad the power is too weak," he added.At this moment, Abbas had already reached the middle-aged man."A practitioner? What can you do up close?" the middle-aged man mocked."Wind and Cloud Palm!"A glint of determination flashed in Abbas's eyes as he struck out with both palms at lightning speed.The middle-aged man didn't expect Abbas's movements to be so swift. In his moment of carelessness, he could only manage to cross his arms in front of him. Abbas's palms struck his arms, causing the middle-aged man to be pushed back several steps.At the same time, Abbas was also pushed back several steps by the counter-force."Martial arts dual cultivation," the middle-aged man's expression finally changed. He then laughed and said, "But that's all there is to it."A dangerous smile appeared on Abbas's lips as he was about to make another move, but he was suddenly stopped by Nasser Reza."Abbas, leave this person to me."Abbas looked at Nasser Reza, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, saying in a deep voice, "Be careful.""Heh heh, kid, to show off you need matching strength. If you two work together, you might have a chance to defeat me.""To deal with you, one person is enough," Nasser Reza said coldly. He activated the fourth layer of the Bull Charm, and his true energy flowed like a dragon through the Hand Taiyin and Hand Taiyang meridians. The violent power gradually built up in his arms. Suddenly, he threw a punch, carrying a fierce gust of wind, aiming straight at the middle-aged man's face."Sixth-tier warrior," the middle-aged man exclaimed in shock, his eyes finally revealing a trace of fear and disbelief. He was only a fifth-tier warrior himself, but even a fifth-tier warrior was enough to dominate this small town. Yet, this young person in front of him was a freak of a sixth-tier warrior. Where did he come from?"Just a sixth-tier warrior?"Nasser Reza sneered internally. He threw his punch with even greater ferocity, aiming directly at the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man was filled with intense fear. He was well aware of the vast difference in strength between fifth-tier and sixth-tier warriors, and he knew that if he tried to escape, this powerful punch would strike him the moment he turned.With such a formidable punch, being hit in the back would surely result in severe injury or even death.So, despite his fear, he had no choice but to steel himself. He channeled all his true energy and met Nasser Reza's punch with a palm strike.BoomThe moment their fists and palms collided, a deep sound echoed. Immediately, the middle-aged man's arm made a cracking noise, and then it fell limply to his side."Ah!"The middle-aged man let out a painful scream. Nasser Reza's fist seemed to grow larger in his eyes, and he felt a sense of impending death from the punch. Just as he was about to utter a plea of "Don't," Nasser Reza's fist struck his right temple.The middle-aged man's right temple was instantly caved in, blood flowing freely from his head. He didn't even have time to scream before his life was snuffed out. His body was thrown backward and crashed heavily to the ground, with a pool of crimson blood forming around his head."Did you enjoy the show?"Nasser Reza coldly swept his gaze over the onlookers. His eyes showed no emotion. He had no qualms about killing a few more if it meant adding more corpses to the scene, especially for those who enjoyed watching others suffer.Human nature is ugly, and the world is cold.Under the murderous gaze of Nasser Reza, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They quickly dispersed, fleeing like frightened birds and beasts.At this moment, a large group of armored soldiers appeared out of nowhere, surrounding the crowd."Who dares to cause trouble here?" a man in official robes stepped forward and asked.Nasser Reza coldly observed the soldiers and the man in the official robes. Given that Qin Family Village had been massacred by soldiers in silver-white armor, Nasser Reza had no goodwill toward these people.The man in official robes looked at the fallen obese young man and the middle-aged warrior, then glanced at Nasser Reza, Abbas, Hina, and Shirin. He immediately understood what had happened."I am Kamal, the city lord here. These two ruffians have been causing havoc in our town for many years. Their family's power is rampant, and with that guard being a middle-tier warrior, their strength is formidable, making it difficult for ordinary people to confront them. As a result, they have evaded justice and have been a great plague on our city. Today, the three young heroes have acted with gallantry and righteousness, standing up against injustice and putting an end to these wicked individuals, removing a scourge from our city. On behalf of everyone in the city, I express our heartfelt thanks."Kamal bowed and cupped his fists toward Nasser Reza, Abbas, and Hina.The three of them were momentarily taken aback. Having had little experience in such matters, they were unsure of how to respond to Kamal's enthusiastic gratitude. Finally, Abbas replied, "No need to be polite.""Three young heroes, you have bravely dealt with these bullies with great ferocity. I dare to invite you to my residence for a visit, so I can express my hospitality. May I have the honor of your presence?" Kamal said with an even more enthusiastic smile.Abbas, Nasser Reza, and Hina looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Although Kamal appeared friendly and enthusiastic, they couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, though they couldn't pinpoint what exactly."The city lord's kindness is appreciated, but we have other matters to attend to, so we must take our leave," Abbas said.Kamal immediately became anxious. "Oh, but the three young heroes have removed a great scourge from our city. If you don't come, others might say that I, Zhang, am narrow-minded and ungrateful. Besides, if you have any important matters, please share them. Perhaps I can assist in some way. You have done our city a great service, and your affairs are now my concern."Nasser Reza, Abbas, and Hina thought to themselves: Despite their extensive efforts to gather information about the religion, their limited power had yielded no results. It might be better to visit the city lord's residence and let Kamal help them with the search, as this could increase their chances of finding useful information."We are looking for a religion where we can train and improve our strength," Abbas said."May I ask the name of this religion and if you have found any leads?" Kamal inquired.Abbas shook his head. Although he had suggested leaving the cave and searching for a place to train, he knew little about the religion, only that such a power existed in the world.Seeing Abbas shake his head, Kamal said respectfully, "Why don't the three of you come to my residence? I will have people look into it for you. My staff is numerous, and it would be much better than your blind search."Nasser Reza and the others found Kamal's suggestion reasonable and nodded in agreement.Seeing the three of them nod, Kamal's expression brightened with pleasure."And what about this old man?" Nasser Reza asked, looking at the old man lying in a pool of blood with several stab wounds and at Shirin, whose eyes were still glistening with tears. There was a hint of compassion in his gaze."Of course, he will be given a proper burial. I will arrange for a respectful burial and cover all the expenses. Please, come this way," Kamal said.Nasser Reza helped Shirin up, and with Abbas and Shirin, followed Kamal's servants toward the city lord's residence.After the four had left, Kamal's smile instantly froze. He turned to a nearby servant and said in a barely audible, cold voice, "Go and bring Hadi here. Three unknown youngsters dared to cause trouble on my territory and killed my nephew."Kamal paused for a moment, and a hint of greed suddenly appeared in his eyes. "However, the two young women are quite delicate in appearance. I wonder what it would be like to have them in bed?"
