Lord Meng pulled out another dagger and in one swing of his arm, he sent it flying through the air toward Haru. The blade span like the blades of a blender as it flew towards Haru's face.
Haru had his back against a wall. He didn't know how strong the attack was going to be and was also holding a child in his arms. If he made one wrong move he would not only run the risk of injuring himself, but he would also be putting the girl in danger.
He looked up at the blade that was hurling toward his face. It seemed to slow as he thought about his options, it was almost moving in slow motion at this point but he knew he might not be able to make his body react in time to be able to avoid the dagger all together. At most he could try to sacrifice his arm to catch it, but what if it was followed up with another attack right after?
He could also try to stop it with Qi but that was also a risky move since he didn't know how strong the attack was going to be. He could try to use all of his strength to block the attack but he didn't have enough time to gather enough Qi to use his full strength.
He was running out of ideas of how to handle the blade flying towards his head until the sun reflected light from the blade of his sword into his eyes. He sword wasn't that far away and if he used it he wouldn't have to sacrifice his arm to block the attack he could let the sword deflect the blade and it wouldn't cause an injury.
'That's it!' Haru thought as he quickly directed a wave of Qi toward his sword and lifted it from the ground. He then used even more Qi to pulled the sword over to him and caught it in his hand. He then angled the blade upwards just in time.
The dagger made contact with the bottom of the sword's blade and then tumbled to one side before sliding the rest of the way up to the tip before flying high up into the air.
Now that the dagger had lost the energy used to propel it toward him it gave him the perfect chance for a counter-attack. He used his Qi again just like he did with his sword but now he had time to gather his Qi to make it move both faster and with more power.
He stopped the blade mid-air and sent it back toward Lord Meng but with Haru's attack, there was no spin on the dagger. It travelled faster and cut through the air perfectly like a dart.
The blade zoomed back toward the sender with a much faster speed, catching him off guard. He knew Haru was strong but he thought that since he was holding a child it would be the weakness that he needed to be able to finish him in one attack.
He didn't expect to be attacked with his own weapon.
As the blade flew back toward him he pulled out another dagger from under his shirt and turned the blade to one side ready to block the attack.
As the blade made contact with the other dagger a loud crash echoed out across the forest and sparks began to fly as the Haru continued to force Qi into the dagger to make sure that it wouldn't stop moving forward.
Lord Meng was forced back as he tried to balance the tip of the dagger on the side of his blade. He dug his feet into the ground to maintain his ground but it didn't work. He was still forced backwards but not as fast since the friction of him tearing up the ground with his feet slowed him.
He travelled back into the forest before turning his body to one side and jumping out of the way. Lord Meng rolled across the floor as the dagger carried on behind him into the forest before hitting a boulder with enough force to turn it to dust.
"Phew… If I knew that would happen I never would have…" He began to feel at ease as dodged the attack but that was cut short as Haru went in for a second attack. Ran as fast as he could in the directed that he had sent Lord Meng before appearing beside him with a slash from his sword.
The sound of steel clashing together rung out as Lord Meng managed to block once again but he couldn't maintain his balance from a direct attack. His legs gave way as his body was thrown back into a tree.
"Haru!?" Lian's voice called out, back from the gate of the sect. Haru turned his head for a moment as soon as he heard his name called out. But as he looked back at toward his opponent he had vanished.
He thought he might have hidden to launch a surprise attack but after using his Qi to search the immediate area he determined that he had run away. He looked down at the girl he still held in his arm who had her eyes closed and was covering her ears and felt awful.
He had told her that she was safe but she just had to witness another fight. He knelt to the ground and put her down. Upon feeling her feet touch the ground she opened her eyes with hesitation before removing her hands from her ears.
"Is the bad man gone now?" She asked with a smile while tilting her head to the left.
"Yep. I scared him away, you don't need to worry." He reassured her once again and then put one hand on her head as he stood back up.
He was going to hold out his hand so that she would walk beside him back out of the forest but he then realised she wasn't wearing any shoes. He knelt back down and held out his arms.
"I called some people to come and rescue everyone. Would you like to meet them?" Haru asked.
The girl nodded her head and then put her arms around his neck. Haru then picked her up again just as he heard Lian shout his name once again.
"Haru!? Where are you?" She shouted as loud as she could. She then turned as twigs snapped from the tree line. She turned after hearing the sounds to see Haru emerging, holding a young girl in his arms.
She then looked down at his hand, seeing him holding a sword down by his side. The bodies of people trailed from the entrance to the gate and she saw the two huge trenches in the ground and figured that there must have been a pretty intense fight.
"Are you okay? What were you doing in the forest?" She asked while looking at one of the trenches that led toward the trees.
"Some crimson spider guy came to kill me but he ran away before I could finish him." Haru let her know as he walked over to where she stood with a group of people. There were also a couple of police officers with here who seemed to be coordinating things.
It threw Haru off when seeing them there in uniform. He looked up at Lian who had a shocked expression. Her eyes were bulging from her skull and her mouth dropped open before promptly shutting as she became enraged.
"You fought against the crimson spiders!? What are you thinking!? Are you trying to start a war?" She asked frantically. She had heard first-hand accounts of their strength and seen what they do to people who went against them. Most people were lucky to escape with no limbs.
The people who weren't as lucky usually turned up in the sewage system months after going missing. And now an unknown teenage boy came out of nowhere and wiped out one of the sects they controlled and then fought against one of their members.
She thought the city was soon going to erupt into flames as they sent in an army to locate Haru and she wanted to protect him.
"Oh god… What have you done? We need to get you out of the City as soon as possible." Were the next words out of her mouth as she didn't want to watch Haru die. She thought the best thing to do would to get him to put distance between them and Haru and it wasn't like she could make them leave the city.
"Get me out of the city? I'm not going anywhere at all… I still need to attend classes, there is no way that I'm going to drop out just because there are a few bad people here." Haru responded without a care for her suggestion.
"Haru trust me. These people are no good. They won't stop at anything to get you. They will even resort to blowing up your classroom if they need to." Lian tried to warn him, But Haru knew better by the fact that Lord Meng retreated.
"They won't do that. They don't know my strength. If they aren't even smart enough to know you have to be cautious against the unknown then they wouldn't be a threat at all. They would have killed themselves a long time ago.
If they are smart then they will probably send someone to watch me and try to find a weakness. If they are even smarter then they will want to come to a peaceful agreement with me. You are worrying too much." Haru responded leaving Lian even more shocked.
She had never seen someone assess a situation like this while staying so calm. But that was Haru's speciality. He might not have been smart with everyday things but the one thing that he was good at was strategies, He had to be good at coming up with plans to be the top mage in japan.
And even now he judged the enemy based on what he would do if he was the enemy. He would first try to come to a peaceful agreement, but if that failed he would force them to come to an agreement. And if the other two options didn't work he would kill them.
