Eric was totally shocked hearing those words so suddenly, but more than that he was shocked because he was unable to sense anyone else at the mont he heard those words.
It felt like those words were truly coming from nowhere and no one and yet sound that clear and loud for him.
This could an only one thing! This opponent was much stronger than him, and he would most probably be unable to fight against him.
As if to confirm his thoughts, he suddenly felt a strong palm land on the 11th rib of his left side, and he was sent flying towards the wall opposite him.
Trying his best to change direction mid-air by using Dragon Force on the wall itself, he managed to make a rough but safe crash, as he imdiately stood on his knees checking the surroundings.
Since everything had gone so smoothly until now, since he had been able to easily bring down every opponent that had appeared in front of him until now, it had made him quite confident on himself.
He seed to have forgotten that he was only a Realm 1 expert, and that there was a long way in front of him.
He was still far away from becoming an expert that could easily skim through Earth, without fearing anyone or anything.
It was only now, the mont that he heard that voice, and suffered that attack that he finally rember just how weak he truly was.
"Well, that is quite the surprise! You managed to smoothen your crash, and also minimalize your injuries! I have to say, I am truly surprised!
You aren't as bad as I first thought!"
There was no agitation nor emotion in that voice, its owner seed to be calm and collected. As a matter of fact, if one checked carefully they would notice so sort of playfulness.
This clearly demonstrated that whoever was hiding in the shadows was actually playing with Eric, and that he didn't see him as a threat, or as an opponent in the least.
Hearing all that, Eric couldn't help but seriously think on those words. He knew that it was a mistake to actually lose concentration at such a ti, and even less lose morale, but he couldn't help it.
That was because those words had truly struck gold, he felt those words to be extrely true. He had thought that he had beco he had beco strong and an expert.
But that was only until he had t soone much stronger than him. Right now, the strength he possessed at this mont felt like it wasn't more than that of an ant.
Thinking like that, he was now faced with two different choices, he either fought here and waited for his opponent to make a blunder due to his overconfidence.
Or use an Escape Talisman and leave this place!
The second option would clearly save his life, but his mission for coming here, and Cui Xie would have to be abandoned as well. At least until the reinforcents ca.
The first option would an the continuation of his mission, and his plans, but it was going to be a life-risking mission with each passing second.
"You shouldn't ignore in a fight, that is the thing that I hate the most!"
As these words resounded in the hallway, he felt the sole of a shoe connect to his face, and he was once again sent flying towards another wall.
'Booommmm~!'
Painful, it was extrely painful. But he didn't have the ti to stop and think or cry about his pain, as he would have to find a way to fight back or run away from the guy.
With those thoughts in his mind, this ti he didn't use Dragon Force to smoothen his crash, but actually to destroy the wall he was thrown towards.
His most simple task right now was the find the rooms where the three Masters were being held, and while roaming through the hallways was easier and painless, this was it was much simple.
'Ohhh~!? It seems like I thought too highly of you!"
As the sa voice spread through the place once again, Eric could only stand up from his position to have a look around him.
He had ended up in a normal bedroom inside the building, that seed to have been turned into the resting place of quite a few people, that were now fighting outside.
He didn't have much ti to check upon his surroundings and think of sothing though, as right now he was in danger.
What surprised him the most though, was the fact that while the opponent's stealth skills were top notch and seed to be the skills of a great expert, his strength behind the attacks didn't compare.
It was the sa as having a car that had the appearance of a Ferrary, but actually possessing the engine of a Volkswagen.
He didn't have ti to think more about that though, as this ti a fist connected to his guts, and he was sent flying towards the back wall once again.
The sudden pain of the attack managed to completely wake him up, as he repeated the sa action once again, appearing on the room beyond the wall.
It didn't have much difference from the previous room, so Eric didn't care much to have a look around, as he just positioned himself against the wall this ti.
Like this, he would surely reduce his enemy's possible attacking range, and he would be able to defend himself better. Why not, he might even wage a counter attack.
"Quite smart! But unfortunately is useless if you don't see !"
'Booooommmmm~!'
Once again an attack landed on his body, this ti it was on his forearms that he was trying to use and defend himself.
Another kick, another wall broken through, and another part of his body was soaked in pain. He could feel that his arms were numb, and that if he received 3 more attacks on his arms they would be broken.
Most probably!
That was his best shot, because there was a high possibility of not being able to stand for that long too.
But he didn't seem to care about his arms right now, as he just looked around the place. It seed like this place was the bathroom that had been used.
He truly wondered just how far the imprisoned Masters rooms were. Just how many walls would he have to break through to reach them?
Even as he thought like that, he quickly stood up and placed his back to the wall once again, this ti he even started throwing fists and kicks towards the surroundings.
"Hahhaahha~! This is why I like little rats like you, because you will think of everything possible to actually try and find a way to survive!
Unfortunately that isn't enough against !"
The next mont, he could feel a slight breeze past his right fist, as a feeling of losing an opportunity took rise inside his heart, as another punch landed on his sternum.
'Boooooommmmm~!'
Another wall got broken through, as the whole place looked like soone was trying to open a new passageway through the structure.
But this ti Eric didn't have the ti to linger with his thoughts, as he had hit Jackpot, he had finally found the first of his targets.
The Mayor was totally restricted in a cold iron table, with scars, cuts, and all kinds of injuries that he had suffered from the torture he had been through.
"Mayor, mayor, are you okay!?"
Eric jumped towards him instantly, checking upon his injuries while screaming like he had seen light at the end of the tunnel.
"Hahahah~! Don't worry he isn't dead yet, but it wouldn't be long before he becos, if he doesn't accept his cris!"
"Mayor wake up, what is wrong with you, wake up!"
At that mont Eric truly looked like one of Mayors people trying to save him, or at least wake him up in order to help him fight the enemy.
The guy in the shadows was most probably enjoying whatever was going on, as he didn't imdiately attack Eric for a few monts.
It looked like he was waiting for Eric to lose his hope, and then attack to give him a more profound attack.
After moving the Mayors body for a few more tis, slapping him on the face a few more tis, and pinching him for a bit more, Eric seed to have understood that he wouldn't get up.
That seed to truly effect his nerves, and his holding up until now, as he seed to experience a nervous breakdown, while looking around the room and screaming,
"Who the hell are you? Why are you doing this? Do you know who you are ssing with?"
"Hahaahaha~! This is quite unexpected! An ant is trying to show off its background in front of an elephant! Shouldn't I be the one saying those words ant?
Hahahahah~! But since you asked , and have no way of surviving this, let enlighten you before death.
I am Cui Tao, the third in line in the Cui family!
What now!? Are you scared!? Are you going to piss your pants!? Hahahahah~!"
"Cu-Cui family? Im-Impossible!"
"Hahahahah~! Well, it is possible! How do you think, was that a nice rewarding for your life?"
With that, another attack connected with Roy's head, and it was another shoe sole. Clearly the strength behind this attack was much different from anything until now.
It was clearly that Young Master Cui Tao was trying to put an end to all this, and crush Eric's head to the wall. He felt that it would be a befitting death for a rat…
