"Humph! Good, I'll let you see that my Susa is not something that your peacock techniques can compare to."”
Shen did not dodge the approaching Demonic Bear. Instead, he controlled Susanoku to raise his fist to meet the incoming attack. However, the Demonic Bear controlled by Xia Ri Xing was clearly more agile than Shen's Susa. It easily dodged Susa's fist and pounced on Susa's shoulder. However, it was futile and did not cause any damage to Susa or Shen.
Susa took advantage of the time when the Demonic Bear was hanging on its body to pull it off his body with both hands and throw it forward with all his might. It destroyed a few buildings and several stars were also affected.
Seeing this scene, Xia Ri Xing also sensed that something was wrong and thought to himself,"Damn it…The losses and casualties suffered by the Hidden Star Village are too great. If we continue to fight him here, the Hidden Star Village will definitely be destroyed by the two of us. We have to lure him somewhere else.”
"Peacock Mystic Technique. Ling Yun!"
After making up his mind, Xia Ri Xing immediately recalled the Demonic Bear. He then formed another hand seal and condensed Chakra into a pair of huge butterfly-shaped wings. Then, he flew towards a forest far away from the village.
"Humph! Trying to escape? No, wait…Is it because she's afraid that my battle with her will destroy the Hidden Star Village, so she wants to lure me out of the village? But it didn't matter. My goal was only the stars. As for the Hidden Star Village, I won't take it to heart. I'll let them off.”As he spoke, he released Susa and used Moon Steps to chase after Summer Starry.
Xia Ri Xing had the intention of luring Shen away, so she deliberately slowed down her flight speed. Shen did not chase after her too closely. After all, he knew that Xia Ri Xing would not escape. After all, she also wanted to kill Shen.
Ang, who was being held hostage by Shen, looked thoughtfully at Xia Ri Xing's back."Damn it, that person with the gas mask should be Xia Ri Xing, the person that the demon is looking for. The villagers seemed to have mentioned that he was once a ninja of the Hidden Star Village and died ten years ago. Why would someone who had already died reappear and take our star away? I don't know why, but I can actually feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity from him.”Ang, who was being held hostage, looked at Xia Ri Xing's figure, his heart filled with questions.
Soon, Xia Ri Xing arrived at a forest. He stood on top of a large tree and waited for Shen's arrival. It did not take long for Shen to catch up to Xia Ri Xing.
"Why, have you chosen a place?"
"Shuaka! So you already know my purpose. Then why did you follow me?”
"I've said it before, my goal is Xing, so I have no interest in the Hidden Star Village. The reason why I attacked the Hidden Star Village was to force you out. Since you've already come out, there's no need for me to waste time there.”
"What makes you so sure that Xing is in my hands?”
"Hmph, I naturally have my own reasons. Cut the crap, my target is only Star. Hand it over and I will leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
"Damn it, wishful thinking! You have committed such an unforgivable sin. No matter what, I will let you receive the punishment you deserve and avenge the people you killed in our Hidden Star Village!”
"Xia Ri Xing, can't you see who I've been holding hostage? I think you will be very interested! Hehehe ~~"
"Oh no, could it be that he already knows about my relationship with Ang? Is that why he kidnapped Ang? How is this possible, damn it…" In fact, Xia Ri Xing had already discovered that the Hoshi Shinobu that Shen had kidnapped was Ang, the only child between her and Firefly. However, she realized that Shen had no intention of hurting Ang. Moreover, he was afraid that if Shen found out about Ang's relationship with her, he would use Ang as a hostage to force her to hand over Xing. Therefore, she did not dare to make a sound. However, it seemed that what she was most worried about had happened.
"Shameless! Despicable…" At this moment, Xia Ri Xing was no longer as calm as before. He glared at Shen furiously and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Humph! Don't say these useless things anymore. I'm already very impatient. Hurry up and hand over the star, or else... I want his life! Or in your eyes…Your son's life isn't even as important as that harmful star?”
"What is it? you... What did you just say? What was going on? Tell me! Tell me quickly…" Ang, who had been silent the entire time, turned to look at Xia Ri Xing in disbelief after hearing their conversation. He suddenly became agitated and questioned Shen.
"Humph! Shut up, or I'll kill you!" Shen ignored Ang's question and snorted coldly. He then exerted force on Ang with his snake hand, causing Ang to blush and become speechless.
"Stop, let him go." Opposite him, Xia Ri Xing felt as if a knife had been stabbed into his heart as he watched his son suffer. He hurriedly called out to Shen.
"Humph! Your heart aches, right?" Shen coldly laughed. At the same time, he relaxed his snake-like grip. Na Ang immediately began to pant heavily.
Seeing that Ang was fine, Xia Ri Xing heaved a sigh of relief. She reached out and took off the gas mask on her face, revealing her original appearance.
"How did you know? Why do you know so much about me?”
"You don't have to worry about that. How about it? Can you hand over the star now? Anyway, your mission is to stop the people of the Hidden Star Village from using stars to cultivate again. Since that's the case, there's no use for you to keep the star. Why don't you give it to me?”
"I can give you the star, but you have to let go of Ang first!”
"Humph! You have no room to bargain. Hand it over!”As Shen spoke, he pulled the archer with Hoang and exerted his strength once more.
"Damn it, stop!" Xia Ri Xing did not hesitate and quickly took out a fist-sized stone from his pocket. The stone seemed to have been eaten by worms and was filled with small holes of all sizes. The stone also emitted a strange purple chakra that flickered strangely.
"This is the star, for you!" After Xia Ri Xing took out the star, he threw it at Shen, who caught it in his hand.
Shen brought the star to his eyes and examined it closely. However, he could not find anything special about it. He thought to himself, Is this a star? As expected, it contained great power. Those idiots in the Hidden Star Village did not know how to use the stars properly. They only knew how to cultivate around the stars. It was simply a waste of natural resources!”
"I've already given you the star.”Xia Ri Xing saw that Shen had yet to release Ang and hurriedly interrupted him, interrupting Shen's contemplation.
"Oh! I almost forgot to return it to you!" Shen's snake-like hand flung Ang towards Xia Ri Xing, who hurriedly caught him.
"Alright, since I've already obtained the star, it's time for me to leave this damned place!”Shen's mood improved after he obtained the star. He smiled and greeted Xia Ri Xing and his mother before preparing to leave.
Just as Shen was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt a sense of danger assaulting him. Without even thinking, Shen immediately used the Instant Movement Technique and jumped away from his original position. At the instant Shen jumped away, a Demonic Bear condensed from Chakra pounced on the spot where he had been standing.
After dodging Xia Ri Xing's sneak attack with the Blink Spell, he turned around and stared at Xia Ri Xing, saying in a cold voice,"Humph! Looks like you don't intend to let me leave just like that! Then I have no choice but to kill you too!”
"Ang, leave quickly and leave this place.”Xia Ri Xing said to Ang as he stared at Shen with a serious expression.
"But…"
"No buts. I know you have a lot of questions to ask me now. I promise you that I will explain everything to you when I get back.”Xia Ri Xing anxiously said to Ang.
"I... I know, you... Be careful!" Ang also knew that with his strength, he wouldn't be of any help even if he stayed here. He would only be a burden to Xia Ri Xing. He looked at Xia Ri Xing with a complicated expression and immediately jumped back to the village.
Ang was no longer of any use to Shen. Hence, Shen did not stop Ang from leaving. Instead, he looked at Xia Ri Xing with interest.
"Hmph, you have committed such a heinous crime. I will not let you leave just like that. No matter what, I will bring you back today and punish you in front of everyone to avenge the tragic deaths of the people of the Hidden Star Village.”
"Tsk! Stubborn. Since you're courting death, don't blame me!”Shen put the star in his hand into his bosom. The three magatama in his scarlet eyes slowly rotated as he stared at Xia Ri Xing and sneered.
Xia Ri Xing did not waste any words. He controlled the Demonic Bear and roared as it pounced towards Shen!
