Chapter 7 - Preparations

Kind of weird chapter again btw

"Forget it, brother Bu, just watch for now." Thi En Tran spoke while rolling his shoulder, loosening his joints and warming his muscles.

The six guards watched this closely and suddenly broke out in a fit of laughter. 

"You? Alone? Big mistake, boy." The lead man gripped his spear and pointed it at Thi En Tran, its stained head reflecting no light. "I'll make you regret your decision!"

He flourished his spear and charged at Thi En Tran with a qi-augmented strike. His speed was nothing to laugh at.

Thi En Tran shouted. "Weak!"

Right before the spear penetrated his body, he spun around and deflected it with only his heel. The sound of metal and wood hitting the ground resounded as the spear clattered to the ground.

"I don't even need to use any martial skills to deal with you." Thi En Tran said while staring at the man. He was confident and derisive while the man stood shaking, his blood cold out of fear. I didn't hold back one bit in that attack, is he really that strong? The man thought, panicked.

"W-Whatever, you're a bit strong, so what?! Everyone attack together!" He shouted while fixing his stance.

The other five guards seemed to have a deep trust in the lead man, and did not hesitate to draw their weapons. The sound of steel weapons filled the air. 

Thi En didn't bother to assume a fighting stance and just looked at them jeeringly. Even a monk couldn't guarantee staying calm if they saw the contempt and mockery in his eyes. "Come!"

Taking the initiative to make the first move, a guard flashed behind him, crouched low with his blade hidden behind his body. 

Thi En Tran swiftly pulled his face back to escape from harm's reach, being just fast enough to see his own reflection on the cold metal. With the man's posture completely outstretched, Thi En Tran swept his opponent off his feet and drove his foot through the man's back, flinging him away. Thi En Tran didn't bother holding back, and it wouldn't be surprising if the man's spine had split into two.

"Amazing!" Bu Lan Deng exclaimed from the sidelines. He would definitely enjoy this more if he had some sort of snack.

With the sword wielding man incapacitated and the pig nosed man looking like he was going to wet himself. Thi En Tran set his sights on the other four men, only one of them being a cultivator. Not bothering to wait for them to come forth themselves, Thi En Tran rushed forward menacingly.

"Here I come!" He shouted.

Thi En Tran appeared in front of the last cultivator, a taller and bulkier individual. It didn't matter, though. The size of your physique had a negligible impact on your strength. Thi En Tran plunged his fist through the guard's stomach before he even had a chance to react, piercing right through his armour. He coughed up saliva, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Being knocked unconscious, he keeled over and crumpled to the ground.

Thi En Tran now calmly approached the last three ordinary men, who were staring at him with fear, and promptly slapped them until they collapsed, breaking about half of the bones in each of their bodies.

With the battle over, Thi En Tran brushed the dust off his shoulder, as if to taunt them further, but they were all on the ground anyway.

Bu Lan Deng stood up and came over from the shade of a nearby tree, clapping enthusiastically. "Outstanding work brother Tran. With your ability, there isn't a single person here who could stop you!"
