You'll pay For this Huo Baoli

At the Martial Arts Dueling Rings in White Crane City -

Hey, Brother Hou Fao, you said that these Bai Clan members were strong!"

"They are Senior Brother Tian"

"What?"

"These boys and girls are just their branch members of the Bai Clan."

Really Hmmm...

Hey you stupid little cats, come out of your den's now so I can fight you!"

"Little boy you should keep your mouth shut before you get in trouble."

"Who said that, come out and face me!"

(Why? So you can throw a little tantrum for not getting your way )

"Okay, whoever said that need to come up here before I start getting angry!"

"Or what, you'll get angry!"

At this point, Bai Tiemo stepped out of the crowd after dogging and jumping from the fighting ring after trying not to get hit by the wild man's attack. He presented himself up for the Hou Clan Members on the Martial Arts Platform. The Hou Clan and Huo Sect members were a little thrown off as Bai Tiemo came out of the crowd.

"Hey Kid, you think your hot stuff!? Huh!"

"You think you can take me on again, I mean look at you. The last attack I released didn't even hit you properly and only grazed you a little."

"You look so ragged and dazed and you can barely stand and your holding your left arm up probably sprained or even broken and you want to go for another round."

"Come face me again when you can take a hit without falling down."

"Yea against you, I think I'll be enough!"

"You think so do you?

"Well, let's see if you're strong enough to fight me again, little Kid!"

'Who are you calling a kid."

"Don't call me a kid Old MAN!!!!!"

At almost the same moment that Tian Tomi called Bai Tiemo a kid again, a white afterimage flashed past Tian Tomi with the speed of a gazelle.

The sound of leaves dancing in the wind was the only thing you could hear as if it was a wild animal dashing straight through the forest.

Bang!

The young man in a Sky Red-Robe was a little startled from his opponent's speed especially at how quick the boy from the Bai Clan got to him so quickly, it threw off the Huo Sect's Cheif Disciple Tian Tomi.

It was almost so fast that if Tian Tomi was even a little slower to react to his opponent's attack, he was afraid that he would have been caught off guard at Bai Tiemo's speed.

As a reaction to Bai Tiemo's attack, Tian Tomi attacked out in a small fit of rage,

"Red Palm of the Descending Sky!"

"Screw you old man!"

"White Palm of a Tiger during the Night !"

Bang!

Tian Tomi blasted Bai Tiemo back, with a single palm strike attack.

"Come on Kid, I don't like to bully people I only came here to fight a strong opponent!"

Huo Fen was watching this little show nearby, he was a little thrown off at how Tian Tomi was almost hit from an undefended attack from a little junior.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Tian you almost got taken out by a 1st Stage Nascent Soul Seeking Stage Cultivator Hahaha, oh wow that was almost priceless! Hahaha"

"Shut it Huo Fen!"

"Fine, Fine Senior Brother, watch out for that kid's technique it looks like a Jade level technique so if you get hit, It will pack quite a ..."

Instantly Bia Tiemo saw Tian Tomi give Huo Fen a deadly stare towards him. This gave a second break for Bai Tiemo to breathe a little. So after a second, he began his next attack.

"The four Palms of a hungry Tiger in the Night!"

"Shit!" - Tian Tomi

A pale expression appeared on Tian Tomi's face as he was focusing on Huo Fen and not Bai Tiemo.

"You little shit, you think that was cool to make that move... I'll kill you without even batting an eye at your death so you better be ready to face death in the eye if your gonna attack a cultivator off guard you cheap punk only cowards attack a defenseless cultivator."

" Red Sky Titan - 10,000 Jin Fist Strike! "

BOOM!

( This kid has a temper, he'd be too easy to manipulate in a fight... Hmmm? )

At this point, Bai Jian was already watching the fight.

He was in quite a nice mood despite their being a situation on his hands involving the Huo Sect and the Hou Clan in his Clans territory.

After 3 more fights happened, this kid from the Huo Sect was destroying the Bai Clan left and right with their young members.

Tian Tomi was getting reckless and inpatient on the ring he was on, as he watched his friends from his Sect and his clansmen from the Hou Clan smashing and defeating their opponents from the Bai Clan he was getting a little angry that he couldn't defeat his opponent, Bai Tiemo was using his advantage against him, and even though he was strong and fast.

Bai Tiemo was a little faster than him, even though Bai Tiemo had a High Tier Jade Movement Technique and even though he mastered it last year. He still had a low amount of experience using it in real combat against a real opponent and not a battle puppet that was locked to a duel platform in a courtyard.

But sadly it was only giving him a small advantage against his opponent Tian Tomi. Tian Tomi had a Mid-Tier Jade Movent Technique but when it came to his Escape and Movement Technique's he didn't work on them as hard as his Attack and defensive Technique's.

An now the arm injury he got from earlier was starting to hurt him more and more as the duel went on, but let us be honest here at this point, it was more like a real battle for Bai Tiemo as the man in front of him was an existence that was beyond his reach.

He took a deep breath and proceeded to form a couple of quick hand signs.

Tian Tomi then released hi Qi and closed his right hand into a fist.

"The Roar of a Leader"

"Everone block your ears!"

Then Tian Tomi proceeds to scream at his loudest by amplifying his voice but inserting his Qi into his throat then into his vocal cord to protect himself from the sound that was to come from it.

Roar!

A 25-foot tall Firery Ape rose above Tian Tomi and opened his mouth as it roared and started to release a roar.

At this point, because of Bai Tiemo's quick thinking, everyone for the most part that was closer to the Fighting Rings covered there ears in time and the people at the back couldn't hear as well got caught by the roar of Tian Tomi's Sound Technique.

A shockwave of air was sent out in an almost coned shape blast out forward from Tian Tomi, causing everyone and everything in front of him to start crumbling and be pushed back from his position.

A minute or so after his attack he started to look around he found a group that was basically unfazed and almost perfectly fine except a couple of guards standing in the front of this group.

This group of people was exactly Bai Jian's group.

"Well well well, if it isn't nice of you to finally join us" - Tian Tomi

Tian Tomi activated his cultivation technique and released his Qi and started rotating his Qi fully to put his Qi into action so that he could go full strength from the get-go while in top form.

A silhouette of a Crimson snake began to take form from behind him.

( Wow, that's a Sky Devouring Snake! )

Bai Tiemo circulated his Qi at full power for one more bout with this wild guy in front of him.

A silhouette of a White Tiger began to take form from behind him.

Both men's eye begins to glow, for what seemed to anticipation for that scuffle between these two young men.

"You know what kid! I'll admit your not a huge letdown, at least your not a coward you have spirit kid. So you know what I won't kill you and you made me a little happy. You brought me a little excitement today before I get into a real fight, It was a nice fight!

"The thrust of a Blazing Tail!"

{Auhh, shit this isn't going well!}

"The strike of a White Tiger's palm!"

----------------------------------------------

Author's Note -

{{ The Ape from earlier was just from a Sound Technique. Tian Tomi is technically a Bastard of the Hou Clan but is not because his grandfather is the Clan Leader of the Tian Clan in the Sky Huo Kingdom and is a Duke that serves the king of that country.

That is one Tier higher than the Huo Kingdom. His father is from the Huo Sect and his mother is a Bastard girl of the Hou Clan as his mother came from a relationship out of marriage even his mother's father could have married his grandmother he didn't as she was from a low noble family from a duchy that serves the Huo Kingdom.

Tian Tomi's Tian Clan has the Bloodline of an Immortal Sacred Sky Fire Serpent, but since it's been more than 50 generations since their family possed a 100 percent pure Bloodline it's been diluted and now can only for the most point form connection to lesser snakes that belong to its Bloodline and form Snakes of less power as there Soul Spirits. }}

Example :

--------------------------------------

> Immortal

Sacred Sky Fire Serpent

--------------------------------------

> Empyrean

Sky Fire Empyrean Basilisk

--------------------------------------

> Emperor

Soaring Fire Viper

--------------------------------------

> Exalted

Iron Flying Fire Python

--------------------------------------

> Monarch

Sky Devouring Snake

--------------------------------------

> Profound

Grand Fire Snake

--------------------------------------

> Xiantian

Great Flame Snake

----------------------------------------------

Bai Tiemo started getting agitated and was now starting to lose his cool. After seeing several more rounds of fighting and not getting anywhere against Tian Tomi he kneeled on one leg on the ground and started to operate his breathing Technique to replenish his Qi.

"At this point, Tian Tomi senses had told him a predator had come within the domain of Spirit Sense. He could feel it in every one of his bones and the hair on the back of his neck was now standing up.

He started to grin with a delight, from what his instincts were telling him.

It was someone from within that group of Bai Clansmen from earlier, and they were a really strong opponent.

And very soon he would get another shot at putting his life on the line for his mortal pursuits: Immortality.

The only goal worth fighting for as his father put it.

[ "If you are going to do something, you should do it right. You might as well put your all into it or you should try it at all or when you get to the end of life you won't have any regrets. You are my Son and that is what I want from you, Son if you are going to something, then do it to the end and if you do it, don't half-ass it and do it right!" ]

Tian Tomi started to look around trying to find someone from the group he saw earlier. In all earnest, he was just hoping to find someone out of the ordinary and see if there was someone among the bystanders, that could make his blood boil in excitement for a fight.

When he started to look toward the people in the far back of the groups looking towards the fighting rings.

He found Bai Jian's group again, but this time he saw Bai Jian, and he could tell from the quite dashing and nice outfit he was wearing that he was a person with a great background or at the least was a heavy hitter within the Bai Clan.

After seeing all the people in his group surrounded by guards, servants, assistants, and from the looks of it an old man too that could be an Elder of the Bai Clan from his deduction skills. The man had a silver medallion hanging from his black silk waistband that wrote (Bai).

{ Yes those two should be important, they should be able to help me find a strong opponent here inside this Clan!}

" So young man, are you in a position of power to call one of your Clans Great Elders over or even maybe one of the Grand Elders for a sparring match." - Tian Tomi

As soon as Tian Tomi stopped speaking. Bai Jian began to laugh at his questioning.

'Huo Fen who was at the Fighting Ring next to Tian Tomi looked over towards the laughing, a White Crane City guard attack him when he was looking and he knocked the guard back without looking and then stated looking towards Tian Tomi as he was a little curious as to what was going on.

(Who's that Kid?)

"Hahaha oh wow, Hahaha!"

"What's so funny young man?"

"I think it's funny for someone to try and ask me for something when I just meet them, then not even try and introduce themselves to me, that is what I think is funny. To think that someone would try to ask me to do something for them without having some common sense or having a little common decency and respect when in some else's territory."

"Why you little punk I'll beat you, how dare you speak to Elder Brother Tomi like that!" - Huo Fen

"Silence you, idiot!"

Huo Fen was silent after that, he began to look at Bai Jian with killing intent in his eyes but, Bai Jian caught it with his own eyes, his mouth curved into a small evil grin.

"Yes, Elders Hou and Huo Hou."

Huo Fen Stepped back and down from the Fighting Ring Stage then he bowed and gave a fist salute to the Elders.

----------------------------------------------

4 hours before - - - -

At the entrance to White Crane City, was a young man in a light teal scholar robe with a sheathed Black Jian Sword on his back and a fancy fan in his hands was waiting at the gate to the city with four guards in matching attire but they had there Jian Swords on their waists and had black arm and leg guards made with black leather and black iron.

After waiting for more than 2 hours a small group in similar outfits and had a matching circle insignia on the back of there robes arrived at the front gate.

This group of people are the Ji Clan.

The Ji Clan are the third strongest standing power on Jade Island Clan's that inhabited Jade Island with Huo, Lan, Zi, and Bai Clans.

" Little brother I've been waiting for you for more than 2 hours."

"Sorry, Bro I took a nap under grandfather's tree again by accident at his villa in the city and fell asleep without keeping track of time at least my guards came to get me after waiting for a while."

"Come on, there's going to be a good show to watch, father's Spies told me the Huo Clan came to White Crane City to cause trouble for the Bai Clan today."

"What really!?"

"Yes, now let's go see."

----------------------------------------------

Fighting Area, White Crane City.

50,000 people were gathered in the Martial Arts Arena in White Crane City. Roughly 100 to 600 fights and duels were going on simultaneously in the Arena, each surrounded by their own group's enemies fighting each other. The locals made up the majority of the crowd inside the Arena stands but some of the people consisted of foreigners and clansmen of the Bái Clan and smaller families of Jade Island.

There were little platforms and stages off to the side near the Main Stage in the center of the Arena where group battles and higher level fights going on where people were shoving their hands into the air with stacks of star notes and gold and silver coins in an attempt to place bets on contestants and people trying to make a quick buck.

There were groups of kids once a while trying to see the action watching the fights bobbing there heads around trying to get a peek occasionally you'd see them getting on top of each other's shoulders to watch the stage. And right now there was a fight going on at the biggest stage between the Huo Clan and the Bai Clan.

At this moment, an old man with hair and a long and dignified beard in an all-white robe with a beautifully carved tiger pin on his left chest was watching the fighting going on the main stage. His grandson was fighting a Spirit Rinho Beast at the Peak Ascendant Stage on the stage with a blade.

He has already cut the beats horn in half with cuts and scaps all over its body bleeding. At this point, he took his eyes off the beast after kicking it back across the stage to look towards his grandfather.

He saw a man in a white hoodied robe walk up to him and kneel over and whisper something to him then, his grandfather made a face and then looked towards him and twirl his finger in the air in a circular motion then got up from his seat and began to leave.

This threw him off as his grandfather came to see him fight today in the Arena, then he heard the Rhino stomp the ground and let loose a nice roar then charge towards in him. He then got into a defense stance then pul his blade up to be perpendicular to the ground.

-The Slash within a Dance-

"The Leaves moves with the wind 4th Move- Savage Swipe!"

A pale and light green colored green Qi left his blade as it started charging towards the charging Rhino.

The Rhino released his predicament and released its Qi to surround its body as it started to be surrounded in a Red Qi.

The Rhino and the Attack from the young man meet and the clash between them caused a small wind storm raising dirt and dust everywhere. A lot of the people in the crowd went quiet and then when the boom was heard and the dust cloud that formed was pushed away as a beast feel and was sliding towards the man. when the man finished his stances he wiped the Katana blade with the inside of his arm.

He looked at the beast walked up to it, bent down on a knee then activated a Technique causing Qi to form around his hand.

He shoved his hand into the side of the Rhino and ripped out a Beast core.

It glowed with the beautiful color of a Red Ruby, it was the size of a marble and in the shape of a perfect sphere.

As he was started to walk away some guards and some young men walked up onto the stage.

"Yo Bro that was awesome you got to teach me that Technique!"

"Stop it, Ji Shi!"

The Guards bowed to the man.

"Guards clean it up!

"Yes, Young Master."

"Ji let's go!"

"Yo Feng, Why did your Grandfather Kong leave before you killed the Beast."

"I don't know that's what we're gonna find out!"

As they left the stage and entered the tunnel to the fighters quarters.

The guards that went to go pick up the beast and turn it over to a guild or to the Bai Clans Training School.

The beast split in half as they went to pick it up.

"Wow, it looks like the Young Master has touched upon Sword essence!"

"I dought it he's too young, it's probably just luck!

"Ahh anyway let us just clean this up!"

----------------------------------------------

Outside the main area of the Martial Arts Arena, in the main courtyard to the entrance to the Arena where people line up to enter the seating section of the Arena. The man in white hooded robe started to talk.

"Grand Elder Kong, we've received reports from the hall of Pushishment, that Elder Ti received a letter from a disciple of the Bai Clan. Our Spies with the Hou Clan are planning to prepare for an attack on our clan as we speak!"

"What!!!"

"Sorry Grand Elder Kong, We didn't get this info right away as most people are still in closed-door practice since that incandescent years ago. And now we hear that one of Bai Hu's Daughters has brought info to Elder's Peak on White Tiger Mountain. Apparently right now the Hou Clan and some of the Huo Sect Elders are colluding together today for the attack. There hear as we speak, there at the Fighting Rings, Bai Tiemo is fighting someone who we think is a member of the Huo Sect."

"Let's go we don't have much time!"

"Yes, Grand Elder Kong!"

"Guards Assemble were going to battle!"

Yes, Sir!!!!!

----------------------------------------------

Back at the Bai Clan's Fighting Rings -

"Come on now, where's the fury and that fiery pride you Hou Clan members have I've heard so much about!"

At this instance, a Bai Clan member from one of the Branchs was fighting on the stage against a Hou Clan member. They were not even feeling each other out, there were using there best moves right from the beginning.

"Take this, you Monkey Bastard,

"Lightning Thrust Strike"

"Shrew you, you little Cat Bastard"

"King Kong Killer First"

The two Fist Techniques clashed with lightning and fire hitting each other causing a small explosion and then one of the head Bai guards who work at the Arena waved his hands and pushed the explosion into the air a couple of hundred feet above the Stage to stop it from causing injuries to the spectators.

"You two keep the fighting in the Arena this is your first and last warning."

When this fight just started to reach the apex, the Ji brothers had finally got into the city and reached the Martial Arts Fighting Ring Stages area, as they got closer they could hear the bickering between the two men.

"It looks like the fighting has already started, thank gosh brother I didn't sleep in any longer. Or I could have already missed a big part or even miss all of this little event missing all of the bloody fights between both the Hou and Bai Clans."

"Yes, I guess you're right little brother."

Hahaha

"Young master, look over there that's Elder Hou from Fire Strength Sect !"

"Older Brother who's Elder Weida?"

"That man over there, across from us on the other side of the stage in the Bright White and red robe with a long white beard is Elder Weida Hou."

"Wow, how strong is that man over there Brother Long"

"Big brother I think Elder Hou is at the Perfect Ascendant Stage if I'm not wrong"

"No, he's not even close at all."

"Wow, he's almost as strong as you Big brother!"

"No, but he's close!"

"What!"

"Young Master you've reached a higher stage again!"

"Wow, big bro you did it again how strong are you now?"

"Hahaha, okay okay calm down guys.

" Brother what are the cultivation Realm levels again"

"Okay okay, I'll tell you again but try to remember and you guys too so if Ji Feilong asks again you can tell him!"

After that the group of people with replied -

"Yes, Young Master"

"Well brother, what Stage are you at righ....

" SCREW YOU HUO BAOLI" - Bai Lang

Ji Shan's little brother got cut off mode sentence causing the atmosphere to change drastically

" Red Flood Dragon's Palm "

A huge fireball in the shape of a Red Flood Dragon's palm with claws flew out of the young Huo Sect member's palm as he launched a palm attack from 70ft in the air towards Bai Lang.

" This is getting more serious than causing trouble in the Bai Clans area. The Huo Clan is trying to instigate them into a scuffle or maybe even a small battle."

" Young Master watch out!"

Immediately one of the Ji Clan's guards shouted and started running towards Ji Fielong

BOOM!!

... ... ...

30 mins had gone by

(Hmm...)

(Ahh..)

(Why does my head hurt so much!)

....

A muffled sound started to come into the Ji Clan's Young master Ears. His Ears kept ringing, He was slowly letting his eyes open an' everything was blurry and was super bright.

"You@4%^&ng Mas#$$@^%tr"

"Ahh.."

"Youn$^#&* Master*&%#"

"What !!! What are you saying!?"

"YOUNG MAS@#$%T^&&ER@#!!!!"

"WHAT!!!!"

"YOUNG MASTER SHAN GET UP!!!!!"

Ji Shan at this point had gotten up, his vision and hearing were still affected but when he got up the Ji Clan Guards with him were holding him up by the shoulders and trying to get him up to adjust to his rushed awoken state.

"Gaurd Gu, where's my younger brother Yu at right now?"

"Don't worry Young Master Shan he's laying down come with me."

Ji Shan had gotten used to his condition after being helped up after a couple of minutes and had found his bearing's.

He had finally got himself steady and was now jogging over his younger brother Yu.

'Brother Wake Up!"

"Guards what's wrong with him why won't he wake up?"

"Don't worry our medic says he's just knocked out, he'll wake up on his own. But the Explosion caused him to get a swollen arm he might have a sprain from being tossed a hundred meters from the Fighting Ring."

"Brother Wake Up!"

Ji Brothers had just gotten a wake-up call if anything at how serious this fight was between the Bai Clan Hou Clan on the Fighting Ring Stage.

After a couple of seconds, Ji Shan started to notice that all of the sounds and his surroundings were coming back to him and it was all back at once.

There were kids crying, women screaming, and the sounds of flames burning in the area with small sounds of swords clashing against each other in the surrounding area.

That huge explosion that went off earlier, caused a lot of damage earlier.

The Explosion hit Bai Lang and a couple of thousand people back.

And the ones that were the closest to the stage were thrown back a couple 100 feet.

For the most part but the people that were the closest to the stage were burnt to a crisp, and some of the youngest kids were thrown almost 400 meters away from the ring.

A couple of them were even impaled against the walls of homes and small villas nearby there were people that were freaking out trying to get people to help the children and the people that were stuck or smashed into the walls of the buildings nearby.

"Brother wake up, wake up,"

"Young Master Ji Shan calm down he is probably just unconscious"

" You'll pay For this Huo Baoli !!!!" - Ji Shan
