Chapter 935 Hyunsuk And Shi

The unconscious Lith and Dennis were about to be cooked by the devils, however, at this moment, the black rock idol began trembling.

The devils froze on their spots as they watched that.

"What…" They were all baffled.

The black rock idol of the cloak figure trembled and soon, from the pendant it was wearing, a bright beam of white light shot out, blinding the devils and blocking their senses.

THUD!

[Ding!]

[A Jinx is around!]

[Ding!]

[A Charm is around!]

A loud crashing sound resonated in the area but the devils could not hear it because of their senses being blocked momentarily.

"Owf…"

"Ouch…"

Two youngsters cried out.

Meanwhile, the logs on which the two youngsters crashed before falling down on the ground broke apart, freeing Lith and Dennis from it.

Lith, who was already awake internally and chatting with the system, felt his consciousness return and opened his eyes.

He was surprised to find out that he didn't have to ask for someone's help, but also had a thought as to how he suddenly got saved.

In any case, since he was free and the devils were around, Lith focused on them first and put away his other thoughts.

It had only been a second since the time Hyunsuk crashed on the log and he woke up.

This one second was enough to change the tides!

Lith's eyes flashed with a murderous glint and using his Space affinity, he used the martial technique [Nine Steps Beat Lightning].

This was a movement technique collecting dust with Lith and was a way advanced form of Short Jump that he used everyday.

It was a quick movement martial art that, once mastered, could let a person move faster than lightning within a short distance.

This was so quick that a person could only see a series of bright flashes in front of their eyes, which is exactly what happened with the devils around.

They simply saw something bright for the second time, then collapsed one after another on the ground.

This was how efficient the movement technique was!

The technique was designed by an expert who wanted to beat lightning. He mastered it to a degree where he could strike at the source of lightning with just nine steps and extinguish it!

That's right, this technique was an autonomous one, meaning it could activate itself with some trigger and make Lith move.

The trigger was fluctuations in the Lightning element in the surroundings.

The fluctuations, once detected by the cultivator's spiritual sense or body, would trigger the technique and have him take nine consecutive steps towards the lightning source!

It was the worst nemesis of Lightning Path experts and at the moment, even though there was no Lightning, Lith felt it was the fastest movement technique with him currently and activated it.

It did not take nine steps to strike the devils. All it took were three steps!

In one step Lith striked two devils at the same time!

The strike was enough to make them unconscious and it happened in less than a breath's time.

In this meantime, Dennis woke up from his unconscious state and looked around.

He saw the same bright flashes as the devils, but then saw his Prince's blurry figure moving around a few spots.

Eventually, he saw his Prince's figure properly and right in front of him, there were four figures tied up.

"Your Highness?" Dennis called out.

Lith turned around and before he could respond, his gaze fell on two guys grunting in pain a few metres away.

Dennis turned his head to see where his Prince was looking and saw two guys.

Surprised, Dennis asked, "Who are you two? Wait, who are they four? Where are we? And why's there a big black… rock statue?"

Hyunsuk, on the ground, got up and patted his clothes. He nodded his head and looking at Lith and Dennis in a worry-free manner, asked, "I would like to know too."

Hyunsuk was relaxed and talked as if he knew the two of them already; as if the previous rock idol incident did not happen at all!

"Son of a bitch, it hurts!" The youngster cried out while rubbing his butt.

"You are?" Lith asked Hyunsuk and then turned to the youngster. "He is…?"

Hyunsuk was as tall as Dennis and had a gentle expression on his face while the youngster seemed a bit taller than Miwa and possessed an annoyed look.

From his clothes, Lith could make out that he was involved in some accident, and sensing the two's cultivation, they were roughly Half Saint Ranks.

Right… There was also a system notification a while ago.

Checking it again, Lith saw that it stated something about a Jinx and a Charm.

Lith was surprised by the notification and wondered internally, 'Who's the Jinx and who's the Charm?'

[The one standing is the Charm and the other is the Jinx.]

'I see.'

Hyunsuk looked at Lith and answered calmly, "I'm Hyunsuk and this man… I do not know."

The youngster knitted his brows. He got up and patted his clothes, then said, "I'm Zhao Shi."

"You crashed into me before we arrived here, right?" Hyunsuk asked Shi.

Shi nodded and said with a frightened gaze, "I am glad I hit you, otherwise I was dead meat today!"

Dennis walked close to Lith then whispered, "Your Highness… What's happening?"

Lith shook his head. "No idea."

He then turned to the two and said, "You lot, just in case you don't know, you're in the devil's territory and this bunch here, they're the devils."

Hyunsuk frowned hearing that while Shi jumped in fright.

"What!? How!?" Shi exclaimed. How could his luck be this terrible to have left one calamity and then fallen into the pits of hell in the next instant!?

"Me and him were kidnapped by these devils and were about to be sacrificed, but you two crashed into us and freed us from their clutches. Then naturally, as I was free, I captured them," Lith said.

Hyunsuk and Shi raised their eyebrows in surprise and looked at Lith with admiration. This guy alone could defeat such foes so easily?

It was really an astonishing thing they've come across!

"Are you an expert by any chance, Senior?" Shi's personality took a flip and he automatically assumed himself as Lith's junior.

Lith looked at him and blinked his eyes, wondering how in the world he looked like a senior?

Hyunsuk bowed and clasped his hands. "I thank Senior for saving my life."

Hyunsuk was a step ahead of Shi. He could feel that the devils were stronger than him and had he encountered them, he would've been sacrificed.

Since Lith could defeat them, then it meant that he was stronger than them, which eventually meant he was a powerhouse!

Hyunsuk thus delayed no further and expressed his gratitude!

"It's alright. Just be careful out there from here on," Lith said and ignored them.

He squatted down to look at the devils, then began examining them.

Dennis followed suit and ignored them too. He squatted down to chat with Lith about the devils.

As long as his Prince was with him, there was no need to rack his brains. He just had to follow his commands and everything would eventually fall into place.

Dennis thus did not engage into a conversation with the two and began talking to Lith instead.

The two were dumbfounded when they heard that.

Where are they supposed to go from here on? How are they supposed to survive? They did not even know a single path home!

"Umm… Senior… If you don't mind… Can I tag along?" Shi was the one who asked this time.

"I want to tag along too," said Hyunsuk with a calm nod.

Lith looked at them and shook his head. "You two are strangers, it's risky to have you two tag along. What if you assassinate me and my friend in the midst of a battle?"

Hyunsuk and Shi were taken aback. Well, if Lith put it that way then… It did make sense. But, they were as harmless as a caterpillar!

They were the ones who would be in trouble most of the time and did not cause trouble!

Shi walked up to Lith and kneeled down to his level. He joined his hands and said with a saddened face, "Senior, please understand, I won't do such a thing. I haven't even killed an ant till this date!"

Hyunsuk walked up to Shi and kneeled beside him, joining his hands as well. "Me too."

Lith was baffled by the two's response. He did not think they would do such a thing out of nowhere.

What Lith had in mind was that the two would split up, then Lith would follow them, then save them from their danger, and eventually, he would coax them into becoming his slaves or servants or something.

After all, who in their right minds would let go of someone as rare as Jinxes and Charms!

With their responses though, things turned out to be a lot different than Lith had thought. He actually gained some respect for the two as they analyzed the situation properly and knew it was out of their control.

Hence, the best course of action was to team up with Lith, which they were trying to do now.

Lith looked at them and said with a neutral look on his face, "Well, I can accept you two, but there's a condition."

"What condition, Senior?" The two asked.

The corner of Lith's lips curved up. "Become my disciples."

"What!?"
