Winning the battle

Once Deathwind got in front of Xiao Lin, he sent his fist out at Xiao Lin who only sidestepped to the left to evade the incoming punch. He then suddenly spun on the ball of his foot to send a heavy kick at Deathwind's stomach. However, Deathwind dodged the kick by abruptly doing an aerial cartwheel over it, landing firmly at the other side.

"Nice! Haha!"

"Finish the newcomer. He knows nothing!"

The bandits who had gathered to watch the battle began to scream out all kind of words in amazement and delight from where they were as they watched the battle.

Deathwind looked at Xiao Lin with a smile in his face.

"I am going to bring you down. Then I will take your money and make you my bitch in this place." He said.

"Haha! In your dreams" Xiao Lin said with a cold and hideous smile appearing in his face.

Then since Deathwind dared to arrogantly say that he was going to make him become his bitch, he made up his mind to make Deathwind experience intense pain and agony.

Then all of a sudden, he dashed towards Deathwind who also dashed towards him to strike him down.

When they got in front of each other, both of them sent out their fists ragingly at the other.

Bang!

Both of their fists connected with the other and resulted in a loud, explosion-like sound to ring out, which was simply due to the amount of forces carried by both fists. Then in the next instant, an actual ripple surfaced from the point at which their fists collided and then swept out into the surroundings, pushing the air in it path away.

Xiao Lin remained where he was with an evil smile in his face since he knew what he had done, while Deathwind who continued to stagger backwards for many feet by the force transmitted to his body and acted unbridledly on him, was only able to regain his stability many moments later.

Then all of a sudden, he screamed out in shock, misery and pain when he realized in the next moment that his fist had been reduced into a bloody mess.

At this point in time, his entire hand had disappeared, leaving only the bone at his wrist to be seen, with blood continuously spurting out of tiny gaps in there like they were a small fountain.

Seeing what had unexpectedly happened which gave them a great shock, then to quickly help him ease or reduce the tremendous pain that would begin to afflict him, many of Deathwind's friends who could see how Deathwind had suddenly become horribly pale-skinned and miserable due to the intense pain now beginning to afflict him, quickly shot out from where they were towards him to help him.

When they got to his side, some of them quickly put some of the healing pills that they produced from their spatial rings into his mouth. Then after typing up that hand which had been reduced into a bloody mess with a thick piece of cloth to stop the bleeding and spurting of blood, they quickly carried him away to a place in the castle where a contracted physician would help him heal.

As they did this, some of them who remained behind looked at Xiao Lin with intense anger in their eyes, and palpable auras of vengeance exuding from their scarred bodies, showing that they had been involved in a lot of battle. Then they angrily harrumphed and went away.

So, just like that, the battle had abruptly come to an end with Xiao Lin becoming the winner. Therefore, that meant he had won the bet, and would be expecting Deathwind's spatial ring since that was what was he used to bet with for their room ownership battle. However a thought suddenly flashed in his head that made his face turn hideous.

'What if he decides not to give me his spatial ring, or chose to give me an empty one?' Xiao Lin asked within himself.

He then broke a sinister smile in his face.

'Then he must be ready to give me his puny life' Xiao Lin said within.

Once he thought this, he turned around to go back to that room which he won to reside in. And as he did so, to leave the battleground, the rest of his colleagues there began to look at him with strange and incomprehensible gazes in their eyes.

"How was he able to do that?" One of the many bandits that still remained behind at where Xiao Lin and Deathwind fought, asked the others around him with a deeply puzzled expression in his face immediately after Xiao Lin left.

"I don't really know too. It's something that I am still trying to figure out" One sharply responded once that question was asked.

Then the person that rolled out that particular question to everyone said in a partially certain tone "Perhaps Bloodfang is also body cultivator. Or what do you guys think?"

"Yea. That's also the only thing that I can think off too, since he was able to produce a force that caused Deathwind's fist to explode into bits upon collision with his fist." Another person said, then everyone nodded their heads in agreement to what he said.

"I guess we would have to really watch out for him then. Ever since I saw him, I have been getting this feeling of doom and disaster. He is like the harbinger of destruction that might cause ruination and desolation to come upon us all. And you guys shouldn't try to refute me or disbelieve my statement. With one of the abilities of my Animal Spirit which is Precognitive Intent Perception, I was able to have this sense of danger about him. That boy is not really who we think he may be. Therefore, we all have to be very careful about him. We have to be extremely cautious in our dealings with him. I have warned you guys. So, it's up to you guys to do as I have advised, if you don't want to bring a bad fate upon yourselves." A bandit called Rainheart said.
