Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 126 Birthday Banquet VI : Fight!

"All of them at the same time? It seems your grandson is quite arrogant elder Zhang Sanfeng, but then again considering the cloth he was cut from I shouldn't be to surprised." Alex's words did have the impact of making everyone think he was arrogant, after all he was going up against five individuals not at a higher level than him, but at a higher realm.

"There's not a single but of iota of arrogance within the body of my Zhang clan's young Master, in fact I would say he's too humble for his own good, not fighting them one on one is so that he doesn't accidentally focus too hard on one individual in leave said person Injured." Alex's uncle answered, quite frankly Zhang Sanfeng could not be bothered to answer common schemers like this, he only had eyes for Alex.

Alex at Fourteen was just under five feet tall, he was slim but quite fit, those ugh shape eyes knew he would grow up to be quite tall, and even though he couldn't be considered as overly handsome, Alex had poise and grace even the most handsome of men would not be able to replicate. Besides he was still growing and there was no telling just how much more good looking he would get, but right now the simplest words to use in describing the way he slowly coded the sleeves of his shirt would be...cool. But good looking or not, there was just some things that didn't add up.

"Did the Zhangs offend the emperor again? Why is he putting the young Master of the Zhang clan against such unfair odds?"

"I don't really know, but looking at the people he has to fight I feel sorry for the young man already! If he had picked just a single opponent then maybe he would have stood a chance."

"Don't count him out yet, I heard his talent is a once in a billion years! The tabloids say he's the best Zhang to have come out of the Zhang family and that he would surpass all of the previous Zhangs that came before him!"

"I feel like that's an exaggeration! Sure he's talented but he's also young and inexperienced! Look at the people he has to fight! They're scions of major sects and clans! Not to mention top class talent and a little bit older and more experienced than him. Just face it, the Zhang kid is toast."

"Maybe, maybe not, the fight's not started yet, neither has it ended, we'll know exactly what we're dealing with once it's over, you all don't have to make unnecessary noise around me you fools!"

"Our apologies your highness, we'll mind our words second Prince Lu Mang."

Alex tried not to pay attention to the people whispering around him, it was really annoying and some small part of him was doubting whether or not he's not bit off more than he can chew, but there was no going back, not at this point. Alex walked to the middle of the hall, and right besides him was a haughty looking Khan, but considering his tail was moving in an agitated manner, it was easy to tell us was also preparing to fight.

"My apologies Childe Spirit Wind, but if you're so sure of yourself then why bring along a demonic beast, isn't that unfair to all of us." One of the challengers, a young man of about twenty wearing the traditional robes of a monk spoke out.

"You shameless, virgin forever celibate! You're one to talk about fairness, you're an entire realm above my master! I'm a part of him as he is a part of me, if you can fight us both then go sit your bloody ass down!" Alex wanted to dig a hole and throw himself into it, no matter the outcome of this fight, Alex had made an enemy.

"My name is Bo Ran! And this is Chong Yu, Lian Fei, Bing Meng'er and Erasmus Colt! I would suggest we fight one on one, but words spoken in the presence of the emperor must be honored, now! Take my (Arhat Fist!)"

Bo Ran the monk shot towards Alex his fist covered with a golden his as he smashed it towards Alex's chest. Alex moved his body to the left, the fist brushing past his chest with barely three centimeters not separation between them. Alex took a step back and ducked down, his entire body seemingly shrinking into itself as a kick went over his head, however in that moment Khan made his move as he shot towards the outstretched let of the man that was introduced as Lian Fei, a lanky looking frail thing dressed all in black.

"Arghhh!"

He screamed out in pain as he took a step back, Khan turned into a very visible gust of wing that went back towards Alex as he moved up, locking his arm under the armpit of the monk and executing a judo style throw. The monk twisted his body landing on his feet as he turned, his golden fist twisting in the air as it flew towards Alex's unprotected face. The gust of wind that was Khan slammed into the monk, throwing him backwards and into a table with fruits, meanwhile Alex ducked down and sent both his elbow backwards, smashing into the chest of Chong Yu and Erasmus Colt sending both men flying backwards as he turned and hooked his hand under the soft thighs of Bing Meng'er, his other hand grabbed her throat, with the young woman completely shocked and caught off guard by how close Alex's arm was to her forbidden area.

But Alex didn't care one bit about that as he brought her smashing down into the earth in a child slam that not only rattle her bones but forced her to spit out blood. Alex too a step back and watched as all of a sudden Lian Fei gave out a gurgled scream as he collapsed to the ground, his hands was clutched around his chest as blood began to spill out from his nose, eyes, ears, mouth, and even the pores of his skin, but more importantly from the very nasty bite wound Khan left behind. Alex rolled his shoulder and said out loud.

"If you don't get him to a doctor, or at least someone who can lift curses, then he's going to die painfully. He's under a bleeding curses and he doesn't have much time left, as for the rest of you, enough games! Higher realm of not, without your energy, when it comes to strength, speed, or martial arts you can't beat me. And for your sakes you better come at me with the intent to kill, because I will do the same."

It didn't take too long for some people to come over and carry the already unconscious Lian Fei away, however at that moment this became more than just a simple demonstration. Alex took just a minute and some seconds to completely change the atmosphere of the banquet, and from the smile etched on the Emperor's face, it was obvious he was enjoying it.

"This was supposed to be a simple demonstration of your prowess and that of your opponent, you and your demonic beast should not have been too heavy handed, you lack discipline, and compassion and are too ruthless. In the name of Buddha I will have to enlighten you on the right path by battling you, please my friends! Do not interrupt, Childe Spirit Wind has made this personal." Bo Ran spoke out loud with a ridiculous amount of righteousness just oozing and dripping from his words and demeanor, it made Alex sick.

A golden Buddha suddenly appeared behind Bo Ran, and clasped in the hands of the Buddha was a somewhat familiar golden bell. The illusory bell came down to cover Bo Ran, serving as a sort of defense against attacks from Alex. The appearance of the golden Buddha and bell however, sent shockwaves through the crowd of people watching.

"The Shaolin temple has a splendid and talented disciple this time, maybe too talented."

"Indeed! He has obviously fused the Shaolin (Golden Bell) and ( Buddha Palm) technique together to create this new and entirely unique martial art. Such intuition and perception is next to none, the birth of a new martial art! And not from scratch, but from the combination of two other powerful arts! It is sure to be extremely powerful!"

"That's very true brother! Do you think the Zhang Childe will be able to come up with something that can defend against this art, because the defense of the golden bell is absolute, not to mention Bo Ran is at a higher realm than he is, he would not be able to break through the bell!"

"To be honest the Zhang Childe has not showed any of his cards yet, he just evaded and fought against all of them to get a feel of ordinary abilities, he should have a strategy to handle Qi or in the case of the Erasmus child, Qi and Mana Battle Energy!, If not.....then I'm afraid he's finished!"

Alex got tired of all the words goings around, he raised his hand to his forehead as the temperature rose up, reaching an all time high. As he brought his hand down from his face, his fire mask had suddenly appeared on his face, Alex looked at Bo Ran and pointed a finger at him.

"Enough with the bullshit speech and lightshow, come have a taste of the flames of a god of fire, I assure you..... it's going to be hot!"
