Tomas was one of the strongest hunters in the town for a reason, this kind of move would not work against him. He drew his sword and clashed against the incoming battle-ax.
Dang!
While he managed to block the battle-ax and saved his life, the force behind the battle-ax was not a joke. It sent the man flung backward and crashed into Biaska Inn. The four people next to Mayor Tomas were caught off guard. Instead of attacking Tang Shaoyang, they retreated into Biaska Inn, checking Mayor Tomas' condition.
Mayor Tomas stood up from the debris and looked at Tang Shaoyang with fury. His right hand was shaking from receiving the strike. He was still in a state of shock that the man was so strong, 'But I have the number, we can take him down, five against one!'
However, the Mayor overlooked the female knight. Ashley made her way toward Tang Shaoyang as her frost aura froze the guard that tried to fight her. She then stood next to Tang Shaoyang and let out a sigh, "Look at what you have done, you created chaos. The Malone Family will detect this quickly. You are blowing our cover!" The girl was grumbling.
"Then what? Should I let him sell you to the brothel?" Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the girl, "And if you are afraid of getting known by the Malone Family, we just need to make sure that they don't know that we are here. For example, we can silence all people and raze the town."
Without a doubt, the method would work. But that was just sarcasm from Tang Shaoyang, he did not plan to slaughter the innocent. He was still far from being a mass murderer.
"Hah, whatever. Let's end the chaos quickly!" Ashley held her sword up, "Frost Sword Technique: Third Frost Sword, Freezing Blade!" The frost aura burst out from the sword as she slashed the sword toward the direction of Mayor Tomas and his bodyguards.
Whoosh!
The frost aura shot up toward Tomas Conn as his bodyguards, freezing everyone who was on the path. When the frost blade was five meters away from Tomas Conn, an old man's voice rang, "Hah... I don't want to get involved with this thing, but if I don't interfere, my inn will be destroyed." An old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of the Biaska Inn. The old man waved his hand and a shield made of mana covered the whole inn.
The frost blade froze the mana shield and ice covered the whole building. The sudden phenomenon caused the chaos to a halt. Everyone was looking at the building and then they looked toward the one who caused the building to freeze.
Tang Shaoyang thought about it and found that the old man's reasoning was reasonable. It was these hunters' fault for not daring to stand up and accepting of being bullied by their superiors.
"So you don't really want to fight? What about loosening your stiff bone?" Tang Shaoyang winked his eyes at the old man, but he was being ignored by the old man.
The old man then pointed his index finger at Tang Shaoyang, "But this man is true, we should stand for you guys if we want to spend our time peacefully in the town. Be easy, we will discuss the town's management and we will be appointing and overseeing the new Mayor. As for Tomas Conn's wealth, we will share that with the hunters in the town. Please register your name to my employees, we will date the people and share the wealth equally."
The old man's decision led out to cheers from the surviving hunters and the city guards. No one was going to oppose the Epic who would protect their town from the danger. No one was stupid enough to do that.
"What about Tomas? He deserved the death penalty!" The old man waved his hand toward the unconscious Tomas. A mana blade formed from his hand and accelerated toward Tomas's neck. He was going to kill Tomas, but Tang Shaoyang appeared in front of the unconscious Tomas and blocked the mana blade with his battle-ax. The mana blade dispersed as he blocked the blade.
"What is the meaning of this?" The old man immediately questioned Tang Shaoyang.
"I am sorry, Old Man. But these guys are my prey," Tang Shaoyang turned around and called, "Little glutton, come over!"
Whoosh!
A black cat appeared next to his feet and meowed at him. Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, "You can have them!" He wanted to level up the Dark Predator, "Do you want to kill them as well?" He asked Selena. Selena was barely level 200ish, she could gain a lot of levels by killing one of them.
"Nope, I am fine with this. I am just going to level up with my heal and if it's a beast, you can let me kill them later!" Selena shook her head. The thought of killing people to level up was taboo. At least she grew up in that kind of environment that caused the refusal.
"Alright, if you don't want to fight then let's talk old man!" Tang Shaoyang was not going to force her to do something she did not want to. He then turned around to the old man and squinted his eyes.
The old man looked at the black cat. The black cat walked to defenseless Tomas and pawed the forehead. Blood started coming after the cat's paw hit the forehead. The profuse bleeding, leading to the Mayor of the town's death. The black cat then walked toward the other unconscious man and did the same.
The Adolescent Dark Predator repeated the same action and killed the five defenseless people. After it killed the fifth man, it flopped to the side and fell asleep. The old man could hear the light snore from the black cat. He was aware that the Dark Predator was undergoing an evolution.
Only then the old man looked toward Tang Shaoyang, "Alright then, please follow me, young man." The old man turned around and entered the inn. Tang Shaoyang picked up the black cat and called Aki to follow him.
