"Just say you don't want your friend to die an untimely death in my hands. Don't worry I will go easy on him if it comes to it." The Demon soul swordsman said as he took a sip.
"You got it all wrong Master. I don't want to be put in a place where I would need to plead my friend to go easy on you. And I am afraid, if he is really angered by you, I might not be able to bring myself to ask him such a favor even if you are my master and it would be my responsibility."
The Demon soul swordsman finally stopped in his tracks.
"Really? Is your friend that powerful? Why don't you tell me his name? I should have heard of him, what is his cultivation level?"
"His cultivation level would be in Astral Plane Pre-transcendence at most. As for his name, if you pay enough attention you will hear about him before your contract here ends.
