Chapter 208: I’m a Peace Lover
At this moment someone’s ecstatic voice sounded with a hint of disbelieve, “T-thief! It’s the thief, look he’s standing right there!”
Everyone instantly shifted their focus with bewitching faces. Their expression also turned the same as Shadow Leader.
Just twenty meters away from the Shadow Leader was standing a figure, wearing an inky long coat and his face was covered behind the hood. The most eyes catching thing was the imposing owl embroidery on the coat back!
Only one person would dare to wear this owl symbol in the entire middle-land, and that was the Sky Stealer!
“You dare to come before me? Good, good, stay here forever!” The Shadow Leader’s eyes shimmer with greed when he sensed this was indeed a real person standing there, not some illusion.
Although he didn’t seem to fathom this person’s cultivation, he didn’t sense any danger from him at all. This instantly gave him ample confidence and when he thought about all those rewards on this thief’s head, his heart instantly raced.
A blue light suddenly shone from his hand and a dreadful aura of flowing Qi river reached to limit. He instantly shot toward the hooded figure like an arrow and punch toward Ace’s chest.
Ace was calm while watching blue punch coming, as he expected this outcome. With a faint smile, he used the Misperception Steps!
Shadow Leader suddenly discern a strangeness, he saw the thief was standing right there, but his senses keep telling him he was behind him. But he still believed his vision and ignore this sudden feeling.
‘Swoosh…’
The blue punch created a sharp waft sound but it only ‘injured’ air, nothing else since Ace’s wasn’t there!
This dumbfounded everyone because they saw the shadow leader’s powerful attack only land on empty air. The thief was somehow standing five meters away on Shadow Leader’s left.
No one saw him moving, but somehow like a ghost he emerged there. This shocked everyone.
“Are you done?” A nonchalant voice woke Shadow Leader from his befuddlement.
He quickly turned left with an ugly face, ‘This basted is mocking me? But how did he move there?’
With cold eyes, Shadow Leader again attack Ace, but this time the power was even more potent than before. The last time he wanted to capture him alive, so he didn’t use his full power, but now he didn’t care anymore.
Ace again used the misperception steps and move in a special pattern, as every step contain a deep mystery. This was the third form of Misperception Sky Steps Art, Misperception Steps that can fool someone’s Perception!
Again, that strange feeling aroused in Shadow Leader’s mind that keeps telling him the thief was not before him but to his right. This time he goes with this feeling and abruptly swings his punch to the right.
However, to his spectacle, there was no one since he missed again!
“Want to try again?” Again, that same nonchalant voice buzzed from behind.
Although Ace seemed nonchalant, he was gloating inside.
With low-level mastery, he can easily fool a flowing Qi river cultivator’s perception, but not any higher since he was still in the Heavenly Foundation realm.
This was the main reason he dares to show up in front of Shadow Leader. But his attacking power was lacking, and that’s why he was only dodging.
To his plan to work, he needed the party to dread him and by counter-attacking, he would instantly reveal his low attacking power. That’s why he was acting overbearing.
With an ugly face twisted with humiliation and discomfiture, he pursed his lips, “What do you want?” There was a hint of fear and shock in the shadow leader’s eyes this time.
‘He’s not attacking and even dares to show himself, which means he wants something. But why is he stealing from those brats with this kind of prowess? With his abilities, he can easily join the ranks of those giants.’
Many questions were raised in his heart as he deeply looked at the hooded person. He was an instructor in the institute, and he could tell by the voice of Sky Stealer that he was extremely young.
Ace smile faintly, seeing his plan working, “What do you think I want?”
Shadow Leader’s eyes narrowed as he assumed, “You want our storage rings? Do you have the method to remove the Qi marks?” He couldn’t help but ask since this was an open secret.
All those bystanders were quietly listening to them since they were all weaker than the Shadow Leader, and it also seemed that thief was more mysterious than they thought!
“My answer for both of your questions is…” Ace coolly stated, “Yes!”
Ace didn’t mind admitting this fact since every time the system removed the Qi mark the owner suffer a backlash, and it was impossible to hide it.
Shadow Leader’s eyes flash with greed when Ace admitted it himself. No matter what just this method was enough to cause war in entire middle-level lands but alas it was in the hand of a thief.
“I can’t give them to you, they’re not with me.” The shadow leader shook his head. He was lying. How could he just give away his life’s worth of wealth just like this?
Ace frowned because he knew this guy was lying, and his eyes turn cold, “Heh, fine keep lying. Then let’s play an interesting game.”
Shadow Leader was shocked inside when his lie was seen through so easily by the thief, but there was a possibility that the Thief was just bluffing.
He kept an expressionless face and said, “Do whatever you want, I didn’t have the storage rings.”
“So be it…” Ace’s voice suddenly turned much louder as he spoke this time,
“My dear Princes and Princess, as you just heard I only wanted your storage rings, nothing else. I’m not a person who likes violence, and I’m a peace lover, but I seemed your leader took my kindness as an act of weakness…”
Before Ace could finish, a blue spear made of violent water element Qi whistled through air toward Ace’s heart.
“Hmph…” Ace snorted and instantly used the Lightning Steeps and sidestep the Qi lance, it didn’t even faze him.
Ace coldly looked at the Shadow Leader because he was the sneak attacker.
Shadow leader smacks his lips, he never thought this guy would even dodge his high-grade worrier skill, Water Lance. He thought he could sneak an attack in since this thief was busy yapping, but he again seemed to underestimate him.
Ace didn’t speak to him again and continued what he was saying, “Where I was…oh…as I was saying your leader seemed to be a retard and didn’t care about your lives and only the storage rings.”
Shadow Leader’s face changed, hearing Ace calling him a retard like he wasn’t there. He wanted to attack again when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as if has been looked at by a terrifying existence.
‘Just who is this person?’ With horrified eyes he looked at Ace’s face which was covered beneath the hood, it was like a black hole.
Ace didn’t know his killing intent just scared a flowing Qi river cultivator. He just released the killing intent as a warning for Shadow Leader, so he won’t interrupt him again.
Seeing that it worked, he continued, “So, from now on, every ten seconds I’ll kill someone. As long as he gave me the storage rings, I’ll stop and leave in peace!”
Everyone’s faces turned ugly when they heard this thief dare to threaten them so boldly.
Did he don’t know just who they were?
Did not know their backgrounds? But wait he clearly said princes and princesses, this means he knows who they were.
But so why did he say he’ll kill them? Did he not afraid of their entire Kingdom would seek revenge if he started killing them?
“Bastard, you dare?!” Shadow Leader killing intent intensified.
This wasn’t a sneering matter at all because he can’t stop Ace if he really went after those youths and even if this thief didn’t kill him, he would be killed by those rulers who were coming after seeing their offspring die on his watch!
“Heh…” Ace sneered and in front of everyone’s awful eyes vanished like a ghost!
Everyone’s heart turn cold seeing this and even shadow leaders didn’t seem to sense Ace’s presence anymore.
“Just gave him my storage ring!” A boy said with a pale face.
“Yes, mine as well. Just don’t kill me!” A little girl also shouted with anxiety.
“Shut up!” Shadow Leader roared in anger.
Just as his enraged voice sounded,
“Ahhhhh….” Another girl’s scream rang in the silent vicinity.
Everyone looked in her direction and a chill seemed to run down everyone’s spine because a lifeless body of a boy was laying there!
