"Are you sure you want to use that lousy stick to fight us?" their leader sneered.

"It's more than enough."

"How arrogant! Well, it's your life so you better not regret it later."

Without further ado, the four of them execute their martial technique.

Four swords light shot towards Azrael.

Azrael has a nonchalant expression while looking at the attacks as if he doesn't know what danger is.

It was clear that they were not going all out when they were dealing with Lian since their main mission was to capture her and not to kill her which is why they didn't use powerful martial techniques. At most, they only reinforce their swords with their qi earlier when dealing with her. However, at this moment, they didn't pull their punches but instead, they are using their powerful martial technique to quickly kill Azrael.

Azrael casually swung his wooden stick to parry their attacks.

When they saw this, they thought that the wooden stick would break apart and his body would be sliced by their attacks.

But to their disappointment, Azrael was successful in parrying their attacks using the wooden stick.

They were flabbergasted. A wooden stick parried their attacks. What are they? A joke? How is this possible? Countless thoughts ran in their minds.

"Is that all?" a calm yet provoking voice woke them up.

They felt they were slapped by these simple words. They couldn't help but be provoked. They made their move at the same time. They surrounded him. One in front, one in left, one in right, and one in back. They intend to divide his attention since they have seen that frontal engagement is useless. 

Even after being surrounded, Azrael remained calm. 

Azrael shook his head slightly. As if dividing his attention would make any difference.

The four black-clothed men started to make their move. They execute their most powerful attack at the same time.

Lian's face paled, she thought that it would be the end for this young man. She prepared to make her move and help him but before she could even do something, a sight that made her pale even more had happened.

Azrael swung the wooden stick in an arc shape. Before their martial technique touched Azrael, the four black-clothed were shredded to pieces. They died without even knowing how.

Lian's knees gave in while her whole body trembled. On the other hand, the youths behind her fell to the ground with their butt. Some of the youths who are weak-willed puke after smelling the strong stench of the blood in the air.

Azrael looked at them with a nonchalant expression on his face as if he didn't kill people just now. 

Seeing their expression, he couldn't help but shake his head. He then picked up the space rings that were mixed with puddles of blood, flesh and organs. He then used the clean tattered clothes on the ground to clean it.

After cleaning the rings, he walked towards them. 

The youths showed terrified looks on their faces after seeing him walking towards them. 

He only chuckled.

He stopped at Lian's front.

Lian looked at him with a pale face. She tried to get up while her knees were trembling. 

Azrael passes the space rings to her.

"T-this?" she asked with confusion.

"There should be a healing pill there that can heal minor wounds." Azrael simply said.

Lian looked at him deeply then she bowed, "Thank you for saving us and I apologize that I showed a terrified face earlier. More importantly, I apologize for thinking that you are a beggar."

"Oh, so you were able to identify me as the 'beggar'.'"

The youths also stood up one by one and bowed, "Thank you for saving us and we apologize for being terrified of you!" They thanked him in unison.

They were also shocked because this young man and the beggar that they encountered a few days ago were actually the same.

He only smiled and said, "You guys should rest for now and gather your thoughts."

They rested 500 meters away from the earlier incident because they didn't want to see the gore scene.

"It may be late now to ask but what is your name?" Lian asked.

"Azrael," he simply said.

"Azrael." she mumbled, "My name is Lian, Lian Rose." She introduced herself.

"Azrael, once again thank you for saving us, please let me know if there is something I can do for you." Lian thanked him sincerely.

Her wound was already closed up after taking a healing pill.

He touched his chin and said, "Then how about considering my offer when we first met?"

"Offer?" she thought for a moment, searching her memories, then she blushed after remembering the offer that Azrael was talking about.

"I-I'm s-still young for that!" she said while stuttering.

"I'm only joking." Azrael chuckled.

After a moment of silence, Lian opened her mouth, "I can't serve you but I can offer you a house to stay. You can stay in our estate as a guest honor. And I think my father will agree given that you saved us."

"So basically you are asking me to live with you," he said with a teasing tone.

She blushed upon realizing this.

"T-that's not what I meant!" she quickly denied.

The youths that were looking at them were dumbfounded especially, David. Because they had never seen her act like this in front of others. Maybe she would only act like this in front of her parents or her best friend.

After another three minutes, they stood up and walked towards the city.

While they were walking, Lian talked to Azrael.

"If it's not too much to ask, can I ask you something?" 

"Go ahead." Azrael gave his approval.

"You must not be from our city because if you are, a strong guy like you would be popular and I should have heard your name."

"Yes, you are right. I'm not from your city."

"Then where did you come from?"

Azrael contemplates for a moment by answering, "Far from here." 

"Far from here, huh. Then, how did you end up in this place?" she asked another question, she is very curious about him.

Azrael looked at her and smiled, "Let's say I'm traveling to create my harem." he paused, "Do you want to join?" he teased her.

She blushed and averted her eyes, " J-join. I-I'm too young for that!"

"Then when you are at the right age would you join?"

"That's not what I mean," she said meekly. 

Once again the youths behind them were dumbfounded at how their cool and collected young miss acted. They shook their heads and assumed that their young miss must have fallen with Azrael.

Well, any young girl will fall in love with a man that saved her in that situation.

That's basically a girl's fantasy that was often written in a book.
