    With the dressing in hand, Zhao Yao began his haphazard bandaging before shoveling bottles of energy drinks down their throats. He could finally heave a sigh of relief when the bleeding began to subside.


    Wiping off the sweat umted on his forehead, he stood back up and was greeted by a radiant smile stered across ck Panther’s face. Zhao Yao mmed his face into his hands and muttered, “ck Panther, do you understand how serious this is? You almost killed these men here!”


    “Master, it’s perfectly fine.” ck Panther intercept Zhao Yao’s words, “I have been stabbing people all my life and I know the exact location to stab to prevent them from dying.” With that, he brandished his dagger and continued, “Hey Master, we’re destined to meet each other since both of us share a special interest in stabbing others.”


    “D*mn it! Who told you that I liked to stab people?” Zhao Yao retorted as he quivered with indignation.


    ck Panther pointed to his belly and then his chest before exining, “Master, but you ...”


    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and answered, “Actually, I only like to stab you.”


    ck Panther was left speechless by that exasperating response.


    After some time, Zhao Yao ordered Elizabeth to cast an illusion on everyone there. In their eyes, Tiger and gang hadpletely recovered from their injuries and were even jumping up and down. Yet, they would disappear into the crowd when no one was noticing.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued leading his vast entourage out of the district. He also reminded Ares to drag the wounded apostles along using his deflective field.


    After all, they were the reason why Zhao Yao even came to this ce. Loads of experience awaited him the moment he sessfully rescued them out of here.


    Inside the cat bag, Elizabeth mmed one foot against Roly Poly’s chubby cheek while thrusting the other foot against Ares’s spine. With her sapphire-like eyes peering out of the bag and into the crowd, she eximed, “Zhao Yao actually managed to scam so many people this time around?”


    Ares curled his lips in disgust and grumbled, “It is just a bunch of ordinary humans. I’m sure my Fist of the North Star will be able to obliterate all them in an instant.”


    Those insolent words got on Elizabeth’s nerves as she mmed her bushy white tail against his face and muttered, “What do you know other than to kill and fight?” In her eyes, those hordes of people actually meant something greater. She whispered to herself, “They are all money! Zhao Yao really knows how to earn money.”


    Naturally, Zhao Yao brought along those apostles he was obligated to save. As for local apostles such as Tiger, they were obviously left behind there.


    After some time, Tiger’s eyelids finally began to quiver as he struggled to open his eyes. The first thing he noticed was the heaps of bandage strewn across his body. With the intense pain erupting from his belly, he stumbled to his feet before ambling towards Old Cat’s direction, “I must ... I must report everything to Old Cat ...”


    Meanwhile, the battle over at Old Cat’s side was growing more intense by the second.


    The two apostles who wielded the power of fire and ice had been severely debilitated by the merciless purple sma sabers which struck relentlessly against them. In mid-air, Purple Sabre Fairy flicked his finger which sent a sma saber flying straight towards Old Cat as he screamed, “Die!”


    Pshoom! The two apostles could only watch as they witnessed the sma saber tear across the sky and elerated directly at Old Cat.


    A few other apostles came forth and tried their best to intercept the attack with their bursts of fire and ice. Evidently, apostles who worked under Old Cat had all borrowed these simr powers from the same supercats.


    But, their attempts were futile. The fire and ice they wielded were useless against the sma saber which shed across their skins as their blood sttered across the ground. They could only retreat for now.


    Excitement and joy fluttered through Li Tian as he watched the sma saber sliced across the sky. Happiness coursed through him as he watched the inferior apostles copse to the ground, “Vice President, you are truly the best!”


    Simrly, a glimmer of exhration shed across Sonia’s eyes as she witnessed first-hand the power of Ivory. Serving as the Vice-President of the organization, Purple Sabre Fairy was one of the most famous apostles from the south. Because of the conspicuous nature of his power, he had always found it hard to keep a low profile. Many had fallen to his sma sabers, earning him a reputation which far preceded himself.


    From the looks of it, none of the apostles who stood in the sma saber’s’ way was its opponent. Regardless of how they dodged or defended, they simply could not escape its wrath as they copsed to the ground, powerless to retaliate.


    In her head, Sonia was pondering, “It’s not that they are weak. He is simply too strong.” Memories of these apostles torturing and thrashing her remained freshly imprinted in her memory. There was nothing she could do against them then.


    Now, these exact people were trounced by the Purple Saber Fairy.


    Actually, Purple Sabre Fairy had been stalking Li Tian all this time because two members of Ivory had been abducted by Old Cat. His original n was to use Li Tian as a bait to understand the opponent’s power before capturing them in one fell swoop.


    However, the reality was a far cry from his n. Instead of collecting any useful intel, Li Tian was already captured by the enemies. Left with no choice, Purple Sabre Fairy could only reveal his identity.


    Floating in mid-air, another apostle fell to the ground with a flick of his fingers. His hair-raising aura showed Sonia what it meant to wield such a strong power.


    After piercing through the hordes of apostles, the sma saber had finally depleted all its strength as it vanished into thin air.


    Purple Sabre Fairy simply reacted with another flick of his finger which sent another sma saber bursting towards Old Cat.


    Currently, only seven apostles remained by Old Cat’s side.


    The sma saber tore through the air at warp speed which sent a deafening st sweeping in all directions. All these time, Uncle Meng cradled Old Cat in his arms with his eyes shut together. He finally opened his eyes as shes of gray lines zoomed across him.


    Immediately, an infinite amount of grey particles floating in the air began to fuse together, forming a grey dome shielding the Old Cat and the apostles.


    Bam! This time around, the sma saber failed to pierce through the defense. Instead, it simply shed against the impregnable wall before sliding down and vanishing into thin air.


    Purple Sabre Fairy’s eyes squinted into a hard line as he muttered, “This is ...”


    Old Cat let out a menacingugh and exined, “This is the power to control carbon. I assume you know about this element. Diamonds, graphite are allposed of this very element ...”


    He simmered with anger when he realized that Old Cat was simply using this opportunity to unt his intellect. He immediately interrupted and said, “I know.” Naturally, he spoke in a cool manner to maintain his image.


    Old Cat wiped the smile off his face andmented, “That’s good to know. I only bothered to exin for fear that you do not understand the chemical properties of carbon. Many who came to Chuan Xiao had no idea about this unique element. I spent so much time exining to them ...”


    “Just shut your mouth.” With his brows creased together, Purple Sabre Fairy shot out another sma saber which spiralled in the air, drawing a perfect parab in the sky. At the peak of its rotation, it stopped momentarily before it elerated towards the dome at an astounding speed. However, it was futile.


    “Hmph, I guess you still do not understand what I’m trying to say, “By controlling carbon, we can create diamond. No natural material in this world is capable of breaking through diamond. Do you understand?”


    Actually, all the apostles who sacrificed their lives were buying time for Uncle Meng to activate his power.


    Amongst the supercats which Old Cat had scammed, he had hand-picked the strongest power defensively and gave it to Uncle Meng. With Uncle Meng as his personal bodyguard, Old Cat had been preparing himself for this day.
