Leaving Luna and his one year son alone while there were many assassins attempt on them. It was hard decision to leave them, however in the other hand, his brother needed him.
While leaving Luna and his son, Elder Dam had put protection from The Shadow Guard for them.
Speak about his brother
It had been a long ti since the last they spoke with each other. If it wasn't for Elder Dam who had co and asked for help to fight the other three Kingdoms, he wouldn't have known what was happening in the battlefield.
He was totally out from politics and military issue in the inner Palace. He didn't want to know about that as well since he chose to be with Luna.
Now, after the war had ended and Xiao Jun had recovered, all he wanted to do was to going back ho and be with his wife and son.
After six months away from them, he was finally on his way to the Capital City.
Riding his horse alone, he rode passed the G village's gate. From here, he only needed to ride crossed the forest which located between the two cities and in an hour he would be at ho.
Everything went well until he felt it.
The creep feeling on his back was the feeling that told him soone was watching him. He turned alerted.
Like telling what his hunch said was true, a dagger flew passed his face and stuck on the trees beside him. If it wasn't his marvelous reflexes, he must have died by now.
After that an arrow shot through the thin air and stabbed his horse leg.
His brown horse raised his front legs in the air and went untad. Before his horse could go any wild. Xiao Tianyao jumped from the pedal and landed graciously on the ground.
His sword was unsheathed in his hand, ready for another battle.
He had been killing thousands soldier from another three Kingdoms, to kill another person who was bothering his trip wasn't sothing that he would hesitate to do.
Xiao Tianyao was squinted his eyes, looking through the trees, trying to catch any strange movent. However, instead of catching a glimpse of his attacker, he saw him erged from the threes.
Wearing all black, his hair was the color of white snow that very recognizable.
"Modama" Xiao Tianyao hissed under his breath when he saw the man.
"Xiao Tianyao" Modama chuckled eeriely when he watched how polite Xiao Tianyao to greet him first. However, the in next second, he saw a flash of red dagger aim to his neck as he rushed toward him.
Deftly, the old man dodged his attack and jumped high while lifting his knee with the intention to kneed Xiao Tianyao's face.
Yet, before his knee could touch him, Xiao Tianyao had retreated. The mont, Modama's legs touched the ground, Xiao Tianyao had dashed for another attack.
They fought fiercely until Xiao Tianyao succeeded to land a kick on Modama's face and sent the old man flew a few ter away before his body collided with a tree.
"Impressive." Modama mocked him. "If it isn't because Luna has turned her back against , you will be my good asset." He spat a mouthful blood.
His face beca scarier than he used to be as a devilish grin form on his lips.
"Stay away from her." Xiao Tianyao hissed angrily.
"Why I have to stay away from my daughter and my grandson?" Modama tilted his head and gave a look that he assud was innocent. "I want to see my Mugi."
Xiao Tianyao's eyes were hardened by the ntion of his son and his wife. "You never beca her father." He spat disdainfully.
"Why? You can't accept the reality that you have fallen for my own flash and blood?" He taunted him, swept away the remaining blood from his lips. "How it feels to have as your father in law?"
Blood rushed to his head and all he saw was red when he lunged at him.
He was too angry to care about his surroundings, all he wanted now was his head separated from his body right this instant.
Yet, before Xiao Tianyao could stab him on the chest to stop his grotesque smile an arrow distract his concentration.
It stabbed right on his upper arm and automatically stopped his movent. From behind him, a young man showed himself.
He didn't attack Xiao Tianyao, even though his arrow had wounded his upper arm.
The young man approached Xiao Tianyao warily, his eyebrows were knitted together while he assessing him like a prey.
"You are right in ti Gong Xu." He greeted his son happily.
Without batting eyes Xiao Tianyao pulled the arrow out of his flesh as blood gushed out from his opened wound. He tore his sleeve and tied it tightly around his arm to stop the bleeding.
anwhile, Gong Xu had stood beside his father, but his expression remained uncomfortable as if sothing had been bothering his mind.
"What should I do with you?" Modama cocked his head. "Gong Xu, why don't you greet your brother- in- law?" He gave his son a aningful stare.
Gong Xu gritted his teeth, couldn't find the strength to refuse his father spiteful order. He threw his arrow and bow to the ground and half heartedly drew his sword.
"I want him to die in his own pool of blood."
Modama last statent like a trigger for Gong Xu as his hesitated moved beca vigilant and he lunged at his sole enemy in his eyes.
In the other hand, Xiao Tianyao was calmly assessing his movent and avoided Gong Xu's fatal attack just in ti before his sword caused another wound.
Another battle with Gong Xu
Xiao Tianyao had fought him before, so he knew his movent and his trick pretty well. Despite he injured his arm, he still held an upper hand against Gong Xu.
The fierce fighting last more than half an hour and no one from them wanted to back down. They were looked like practice with each other rather than an actual fight.
Modama who was watching on the side didn't seem very pleased with the developnt of their duel. He wanted Xiao Tianyao death!
But, Gong Xu was playing with his prey. Impatiently, he jumped into the battle himself.
The sudden turned of events from Modama involvent was so great. Xiao Tianyao was cornered and received another stab from Modama's swords on his shoulder.
Modama looked at Xiao Tianyao with wicked smile on his lips and glistening eyes as he licked the blood from his bloody sword.
