Nobilis of War

Chapter 24 A Fight

On their way to the Ilmen Sect, Darren concentrated on cultivation in the carriage and did not bother

chatting with the others.

"This guy must be kidding. He's surely pretending that he can improve a lot in such a short period,"

commented the fat servant girl, Susan, sarcastically as she ate sunflower seeds.

She immediately shut her mouth when the girl in purple, Fiona, shot her a glance.

"Isn't it obvious, my dear cousin Fiona? This guy isn't one of the geniuses who can pass the test and

become disciples of the Ilmen Sect. I mean, think about it! Even I, your cousin who is handsome, wise

and powerful, was still rejected by the Ilmen Sect. Let alone that guy?" Fiona's cousin said as he

combed his hair back with vanity.

Fiona, the girl in purple, looked at her conceited cousin skeptically. 'Handsome? Hell no! Like a winter

melon? Yes!' she thought to herself.

"Dear cousin, Kim, why don't you come and sit with us in the carriage? You must be tired and

exhausted. I told you not to come with us but you still insisted on coming along! It's going to be a long

way to the Ilmen Sect," said Fiona who was sitting in the carriage. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Quite right! Cousin Kim, come and sit next to me. I can massage your legs to help you relax," urged

the fat servant girl. Her eyes glittered with enthusiasm but her cheeks were flushed.

"Don't you have no shame, Susan? You've been wanting to take advantage of me this whole time!" said

the conceited man scornfully.

"I offered help because I think you're handsome," the servant girl replied.

Hearing the conversation, Darren almost wanted to throw up and was distracted from cultivation.

On their way to the Ilmen Sect, the man and the fat servant girl kept chatting until Darren could bear no

more. In his annoyance, he opened his eyes and stopped his cultivation.

"Oh, Mister, you are so diligent! You spend so much of your spare time improving your realm. I almost

feel bad about myself just watching you," Fiona Su remarked in admiration when she noticed Darren.

"Well Miss, as the saying goes 'A slow sparrow should make an early start'. Naturally, those with

inferior innate talent need to cultivate harder to achieve the same goal. Unlike you, Miss, you possess

the innate talent of a level nine of the Yellow Degree. Enhancing your realm is just a piece of cake to

you. As it is, it would be impossible for the guy over there to catch up," the fat servant girl remarked

proudly as if she were the one who had a talent of level nine of the Yellow Degree.

"Shut up!" hissed Fiona, noticing that Darren paid no extra attention to the conversation when Susan

mentioned her innate talent.

Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop...

Several horses galloped across the dirt road as clouds of dust trailed off behind them.

"God damn it! Ugh, ugh, ugh..." barked the conceited man who was still outside the carriage. He

seemed to have gotten dust in his lungs.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, a young man on one of the tall horses stopped. He yelled at the conceited man, "How dare

you speak like that? Son of bitch!"

"Damn!" The conceited man cursed realizing that he accidentally offended the tough guys passing by.

In fear, he shrugged and kept silent feeling guilty for what he did.

However, seeing the carriage that his cousin Fiona and the rest were sitting in, Kim felt braver. He

talked to himself, 'Are you kidding me? I can't look like a coward at my cousin's presence.'

"Damn you! Your damn horses' dust almost choked me to death. Go to hell!" the conceited man

shouted back with one hand on his hip. Although the well-dressed, armed and noble crew intimidated

him, he managed to put on an impression that he did not give a shit about their status.

"You are dead meat!" one of the crew members remarked as he leaped into the air from horseback and

flew right towards the conceited man.

Pa, pa, pa, pa!

The conceited man suddenly received dozens of slaps on his face before he could even react. In a few

seconds, his head started to closely resemble a watermelon. Almost frightened to death, his feet froze

and his hands shivered.

"What happened?" asked Fiona as she leaned out her head from the window of the carriage and

caught sight of the scene.

"Discipline your servant! Else, the next time we see him, we will cut his head off! He won't be so lucky

then," the young man from the crew threatened her ruthlessly.

"Sir, it was simply a quarrel, I see no need to start a fight," Fiona's face clouded over. Her cousin, Kim,

though a bit conceited, was rather nice to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen him as a guard

and companion on the way to the Ilmen Sect.

"So, what? Do you want to stand up for your servant?" The young man dared.

"Hey, Karl, how can you be so rude to this beauty?" Soon, the young man's companions came over to

them.

"You are a servant! Everyone in your family is a servant," Fiona's cousin, Kim, murmured vaguely.

"Screw you!" The young man who slapped Kim suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

Bang, bang, bang!

A majority of Kim's teeth fell to the ground.

"Agh! Ahhh! It hurts! Help me, Fiona! Huhuhu, help me!" Kim screamed in agony.

"How dare you slap my Kim? I'll fight you!" Susan, the fat servant girl who stood beside Fiona, dashed

towards the young man. Before she even got to touch him, he kicked her with one solid blow.

"Now, you've gone too far," Fiona leaped out from the carriage and threw the men a cold, icy glare.

The young men were stunned at the sight of her. 'How elegant! She looks like a fairy from the Nine

Heavens, ' they thought. Only the young man who slapped Kim didn't get distracted by her beauty.

"Well, well, well! You're a pretty little thing, aren't you?" One of the young men came over to Fiona.

"Darling, everyone here is the genius who passed the test of the Ilmen Sect. Who do you want?

Choose one! Anyone!"

"Aha, ha, ha! Pick me! I'm strong enough for you!"

"Go away, Shawn! I am the one who has the strongest sex appeal here, ha-ha!"

"Screw you all, bastards!"

Fiona burst with anger. She felt as if she were about to explode. Her charming face turned red

thoroughly.

"You really push it too far! I am also a new disciple of the Ilmen Sect. We might even go to the same

school!" Finally, Fiona revealed her identity hoping that it would help them avoid trouble. She could tell

that the young men bore a high cultivation base. And right now, they were at a remote place.

"Wow! Our little sect-mate! Come and embrace your senior fellow disciple. Ha, ha, ha!" they continued

to mock her.

Fiona felt disappointed. This was not how she expected things to turn out. After revealing her true

identity, the young men pushed her even further.

"Shame on you!" Fiona finally exploded with anger. She raised her palm with fingers gathering and

chopped right towards the young man who slapped Kim.

Darren sat in the carriage and did not even move. He observed the strength of the young men. All of

them looked like they were at the eighth stage of the Primary Realm, more or less. The young man who

slapped Kim, on the other hand, looked like a master of the ninth stage of the Primary Realm.

Interestingly, his face was covered with make-up and he seemed to have little interest in girls.

As Fiona started to fight, Darren could tell that her strength was not very different from those of the

young men.

The young men sneaked around Fiona and tried to touch her body in a dirty way from time to time.

Fortunately, Fiona managed to narrowly avoid them every time.

"Yee dare who bully Heona, ah hight yee! (You dare to bully Fiona, I'll fight you!)" unable to express

himself clearly, Kim dashed into the fight.

Bang!

Like the servant girl, he was thrown away with a single kick.

But he struggled to his feet and returned to the fight.

"Ah hight oh wee yee! ( I'll fight it out with you!)" he could hardly speak clearly.

Bang!

Thrown back by another fist, Kim could barely open his eyes. He was on his hands and knees

struggling towards them.

"Ah hight oh...(I'll fight it out) wee yee...(with you)!" He scrambled towards a young man and held his

leg firmly.

"Damn it! You are dead meat!" shouted the young man who was trapped by Kim.

"Kim, go, just go!" Fiona yelled at her cousin. She was being held by several of the men. She could not

seem to do anything to help.

"Go to hell!" the young man cursed as he gave Kim a heavy punch.

This time, Darren moved right in front of Kim and managed to block the young man's fist with his palm

just in time to save Kim's life.

"You pushed it too far!" Darren said coldly.

Hearing his statement, everyone came to a halt. Darren spoke with so much authority, they sensed a

hint of an intention to kill.

"Hey! Kid! Back off! This is none of your business!" the young man said to Darren. He was being

cautious. Still, he realized that they outnumbered them and were likely to win the fight anyway.

"I didn't want to poke my nose into your business but you pushed it too far! Shame on you for ganging

up to bully a girl and beat a man on the third stage of the Primary Realm," Darren replied indifferently.

"Hahaha! What bullshit! If we can't bully her, what's the point in meeting a girl?" a young man said.

"What else? To fuck!" teased another young man as he laughed to himself.

"Since you are also disciples who are about to enter the Ilmen Sect, I will let you go. Now, get out of my

sight or I'll make you pay for your foolish behavior," Darren warned.

"Fuck off! Moron! What the hell do you think you are doing? Who the hell do you think you are! Let's

show him who the boss is, guys. Let's go!"

Now, the whole group of young men charged at Darren savagely.
