The lavish, golden robed young Draconic Skink's question was phrased rather eloquently and from a first glance it may have shown great care and even affection to the average onlooker, but those with even the slightest bit of attention, and sowhat sharper than average senses could sense the cold, murderous intent radiating from Brother Pei's words.
Each of his words were laced with an obvious and clear threat that, like sharp daggers, were aid at Aiden's throat word after word. It was a clear threat, a warning so to say.
In other words, what he ant was that he was going to give Aiden another chance to change his mind and avoid making a 'fatal mistake'.
The aning behind was obvious: If he, Aiden did not appreciate this chance, Senior Brother Pei was going to kill him! This man had both the rights and the strength to do it.
Madam Dara and the others could also feel the tense atmosphere and were worried and could rely hope that their Young Master would hold back temporarily instead of offending two top factions out of indignance.
Though they believed wholeheartedly in their Young Master's power, they felt that at most he could fight with this terrifying man to a draw at most. Adding the fact that there would be another just as fearso individual, this so called 'Dark Lord' joining that second round of fight. They felt that the Young Master might not be a match for the both of them even if he was at his peak condition, let alone now when he was at his weakest after going through an imnse battle and filled with injuries!
As one of the few select Core Disciples of the Crystal Palace Sect, Pei Syriac wasn't soone that should and could be taken lightly.
Madam Dara and the others looked at their Young Master nervously.
All of a sudden, Aiden smiled and looked at the handso young man.
"[Reptilian] You didn't hear ? Let simplify things and repeat it once more…"
After a slight pause, Aiden opened his mouth and spat out two words that shocked the world!
"[Reptilian] "Get lost!"
…
The mont he said that, the surroundings fell completely silent.
The entire street turned silent with shock and looked at that bloodied, robed figure with agape mouths and shocked expressions as a single word filled their minds – lunatic.
Yet, for a vastly different reason, Madam Dara and the rest felt relieved instead.
This was the true nature of their Young Master. They could feel his surging emotions through their close proximity through their shared connection. He wasn't soone that would submit to injustice!
Still, he still reigned in his growing anger. They could actually sense a matching murderous intent for a brief mont that the Young Master quelled just before it could escape.
Pei Syriac's triggered killing intent naturally could not hide from Aiden's perception. He was keenly aware of the true aning behind his question from the start.
Since that was the case, there was no point in acting friendly with a man like him. There was no way Aiden would be nice to this guy.
The only reason why Aiden was acting so… calm despite knowing, feeling, and even seeing everything in his system's map was that he could also tell that unless he gets serious and risks revealing himself he wold not be able to handle neither of these two fearso figures.
Not unless he sheds his current 'mask' and reveals the honest truth, which unless he had any other choice Aiden was not gonna use until there was absolutely no other choice.
Otherwise, Aiden would have struck first the mont Pei Syriac's killing intent was triggered instead of wasting ti saying so much to the latter!
Pei Syriac was stunned for a mont. Clearly, he hadn't expected such a reaction from this hooded young man, from Aiden.
"Ahahahaha…" He laughed deeply. There was a tallic sound in his voice that was extrely piercing.
A mont later, he put away his smile and his palm that was originally behind his back slumped downwards. It was shrouded with a jade-like radiance that was sparkling and crystalline.
"[Reptilian] To be honest, I admire your imnse potential. However…" His eyes turned cold as he changed the topic. "…Since you can't be used by , I'll have to destroy you!"
"[Reptilian] How dare you! This person is under my protection!
Just as everyone thought that Aiden's death was certain, a voice rang out from his side in an unquestionable tone. Not far away, a beam of light was surging over.
Inside that beam, the shape of a rather handso man began to take shape as it sped closer. It had eyes that resembled a painting – it was Tai-Liu from Azure Myst Sect who for so reason liked to dress up as a man.
When everyone's attention was focused on Tai-Liu, an obscure glint flashed across Pei Syriac's eyes as he gripped his fist suddenly and struck. The punch was aid at Aiden's chest at an extrely fast speed! Bright white light shone on the surface of his fist and it burst forth like a blazing sun that had a blinding radiance!
It radiated with imnse heat and power as it tore across space.
Pei Syriac was wearing a mythical treasure, an artifact glove on his hand that was as thin as a cicada's wings and almost completely transparent. If not for the fact that he had channeled his energy into it, the glove would have been extrely difficult to detect!
He imdiately started with a killing blow, showing absolutely no rcy at all.
"[Reptilian] W-watch out!" Tai-Liu's expression changed as she yelled.
Pei Syriac and Aiden were so close that they could reach one another just by extending their hands.
Tai-Liu could almost imagine the scene of a gory hole being punched out of Aiden's chest!
The punch was completely without warning, like a sneak attack, and it was swift as lightning. No one was able to react to it… well, apart from the target himself.
There was no wonder why Pei Syriac was a core disciple of the Crystal Palace and a top-tier talent, most likely one of their most treasured disciple.
His timing to strike was practically perfect. Tai-Liu's appearance had diverted even Aiden's attention. That brief mont of distraction was all the ti it took for Pei Syriac to strike.
And he would have most likely succeeded if it was anyone else but Aiden. Without his alertness and keen perception, as well as shocking speed he would also have died from that punch!
However, despite his spirit perception, Aiden was still a step slower and could not whip out Rygintarth to defend. Instead, he could only take the attack head-on with his bare fists.
