Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword

After no more than 10 seconds I recuperated my conscience opening my eyes. I was on the Dragon's back my sword piercing through its skin having completely destroyed its Reverse Sword.

A cold, lifeless aura was surrounding me, around it seems like anything will decay, extinguishing all, Death! A Death Domain!. My sword had became black and was where the Death concentration was at its strongest being the source of it.

After only 1 second all the Death aura banished leaving an exhausted me laying on the corpse of the dragon, which was tinted with black color around the place where the sword pierce. Not having enough spirit power to even maintain my sword activated it quickly disperse.

Without any knowledge of what happen here, only being able to link it to the mysterious voice previous to my black out. Letting the matter for later I approached Mayi unclimbing the Dragon's body with difficulty.

Touching Mayi's face, it is extremely pale and cold. I inspected her, she's barely alive, only with a little pulse and very little blood due to the blood lose of her injured stomach. I can't help to cry and grimace for her, holding her injury to stop the bleeding.

"Graaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" An angry shout was listened all across the forest coming from the Steel Dump direction. Listening the shout I didn't waste any moment, I put the Dragon's corpse inside my bracelet inventory, at the same time taking a pagoda statue from the inventory.

I broke the pagoda and lift Mayi with my arm as a princess carry. After only 3 second a worm hole appeared, from it uncle Bone appeared. Bone looking at my state with a mix of worry and anger asked "What happened t...!?" but I interrupted him pushing him toward the black hole while I held Mayi in my arms.

We leave the forest going through the hole, appearing at our mansion at the Seven Treasure Glassed Tile Pagoda Clan. "Hurry! Close the black hole!" I shouted scared and worried using my last strength, blacking out instantly. Uncle Bone sensing some strong aura from the hole dispersed his hole.

Just at it was about to close, before the hole disappeared a black sword shot from the hole toward uncle Bone. Bone looked scared and quickly activated his ninth ring skill invoking a Black Boned Dragon that protected him from the sword.

The sword clashed with the dragon. Uncle Bone even with the Black Boned Dragon was pushed with great force. Shooting him, destroying wall and continued flying until at 3 kilometer that he could finally stop the sword.

At the previous black hole position at the forest appeared a human-like figure with a black armor that covered all his body with a helmet with a dragon's form, seeming like a Black Knight.

The Black Knight appeared there like teleporting, but the truth was that its speed was so great that it was difficult to even perceive. Looking around and not sensing the previously black hole it started to shout "Graaaaaaaahhhhh!", emitting a powerful aura that was enough to destroy 500 meters area around him.

At the Seven Pagoda Clan grounds it can be seen a 3 km destruction trail. At the trail's end it can be seen Bone surrounded by a Black Boned Dragon with a black sword stuck to the ground in front of him.

The Black Bones Dragon barely holding the attack soon fell apart completely destroyed while Bone face reflected fear, surprise ,spirit exhaustion and a hint of relieve.

After a moment a man with a scholar aura around him came to where Bone was, this man being the Clan and School Head of the Seven Pagoda Ning Fengzhi.

"Are you fine, elder Bone? What happened?" asked Fengzhi worried.

Bone recuperated his calm and said "I am fine, only a little exhausted. It seems that little Bai got into another mess. More important, quickly sent some healing master to my room!" Bone said worried and with hurry "Bai with a little girl are injured there. For what happened it will be better to listen Bai's story".

Fengzhi did a signal with his right hand, two near shadows reacted, they quickly dashed towards the mansion. Then both of them also returned toward the mansion.

I opened my eyes finding me in uncle Bone's room. I could see Maya dressed in her usual maid uniform commanding two white dressed people who are healing me.

"How is Mayi?" I asked looking at Maya.

Maya looked to my eyes with her always expressionless face, she did a little bow and said "I am glad that young master woke up. For Mayi? I supposed is the little girl that was accompanying you. She had very serious injures in all her body, a hole in her stomach, broken arm and rips... She is now stabilized but she continue sleeping. If she arrived a little later maybe she couldn't have lived"

I sigh relived "Something happened after a fell asleep?" I asked.

"Elder Bone def..." Maya started but was interrupted by dad and uncle Bone entering the room.

My dad turned to the healers and asked "How are their conditions?".

The healers bowed to him a answered "They are completely healed, without any future problem. In young master's case he is completely recuperate. For the little miss there she is only sleeping too exhausted to wake up. I calculated that she will woke up in a few minutes".

Dad nodded at them, did a hand signal and the healers and Maya exited the room bowing before leaving. Now at the room we are only dad, uncle Bone, Mayi sleeping on the bed and I.

My dad turned to me and raising one of his eyebrow asked "So... What happened? I'm also interested in who is the little girl over there".

"For the girl she is Tai Mayi, I would formally present her later when she is at least awake. And I doubt that you don't know who she was. Surely your spies know about my teammates". Dad only smiles at my reply.

"For what happened long story short I was hunting for a spirit ring. I encountered a very powerful enemy and both Mayi and I were heavy injured. For the beast..." I explained stopped by a "Wahhhhh".

Mayi woke up and yawned. She looked around a little surprised. Finding me she stood up and walked towards me and asked "Who are the teacher and the old skull?" causing uncle to break their calm face for an instant, a little angry of the name.

"Mayi they are my family" I turned to dad "This is my dad Ning Fengzhi" I signal uncle Bone "This is my uncle Gu Rong, he is an elder of the clan being a titled douluo, titled Bone with a rank of 95".

Mayi made a shocked expression then she bowed to them so quickly that create an afterimage "Sorry! I was very disrespectful I didn't know you were Bai's family. I am Tai Mayi, I am a teammate of Bai at Heaven Duo Imperial Academy, also I-I" she blushed "I am his girlfriend!".

Listening her a couldn't help to also blush a little, uncle Bone was a little surprised and teased me "So little Bai's spring finally arrived, ah youth!".

For my dad he was seriously said "Bai, we need to discuss about it. Being a main member of the clan there are some rules to follow" I nodded to him.

At this time something in my mind clicked and I remembered "Quickly! How much time passed since I passed out?" I asked.

"You stayed unconscious for almost 1 and a half hour, why?" answered uncle Bone.

I used my inventory taking out the White Sword Dragon corpse. The body was exactly the same as before, with a black ring floating over it.

Looking at the ring a sigh in relieve seeing that the ring is still there. I look at the surprised uncle and dad and said "Without any circ.u.mstance what will happen here will be told outside our family. This is a family secret!". Hearing the family secret they became serious and nodded at me.

"Come Mayi. Let's obtain our 4th ring!" I said to Mayi.
