"[Reptilian] The strongest clan and sect you say? All of you weak worms can't even fight against my sword!"
Aiden roared in response, his eyes glimmered with bright golden luster beneath his hood, he was channeling his inner [Spirit Power] energy with increasing fervor. With a flash, he lunged towards the Dark Lord, Yang Zahn at an extremely fast speed.
Even under such circumstances, Aiden still dared to attack first with a torrential aura!
"[Reptilian] How utterly arrogant! You must have a death wish!"
Although Malefic Demons Clan also had a technique aimed to train and harden one's physique, it was significantly weaker compared to top body tempering sects such as Crystal Palace Sect and the rest.
If Pei Syriac was the one that charged over, Yang Zahn would definitely retreat and keep his distance. He wouldn't dare to risk his health!
However, when he saw that it was Aiden, Yang Zahn did not retreat or avoid knowing that he had a higher martial realm. Gripping his bone spear tightly, the spiritual energy, the pure mana essence within his body that was tainted with a malevolent aura shot forth, piercing towards Aiden in midair!
*HISS!*
The bone spear in Yang Zahn's hands coiled in strange circular arcs, resembling that of a toxic snake or perhaps a viper. It made a strange sound when it pierced through the air.
Many martial artists were secretly shocked when they saw his spear technique.
Not counting the incredible power of Yang Zahn's pierce, that spear technique alone was enough to awe! Everyone felt that they were in a difficult situation and could only retreat.
*SWOSH!*
At the same time the third party in this bout, Pei Syriac also moved.
Fast as lightning, his eyes shone with a shimmering luster and killing intent as he leaped forward and pounced on Aiden's back!
Unlike his scheming peer, Pei Syriac's plan was very clear.
If Yang Zahn's spear killed Aiden, the Dark Lord would be in a state where he was recovering from his momentum and would definitely reveal openings.
Pei Syriac would be able to seize that moment of weakness to injure his arch enemy, Yang Zahn severely!
On the other hand, even if Yang Zahn did not manage to kill Aiden, he could make use of that opportunity to kill the latter while stealing away his storage bag.
No matter the outcome, he, Pei Syriac would be the biggest winner! From both outcomes, he would be in a winning situation!
Though his plan seemed flawless at a first glance, life rarely went according to one's plans. At that moment, he did not realize that he missed out on a small, but rather crucial possibility…
On the battlefield.
Afterimages of the spear were everywhere along with a malevolent aura and it was difficult to identify between reality and illusion.
Aiden was in midair when suddenly, his body shifted, and in an instant two large draconic, scaled wings sprouted from his back!
Everyone was shocked when they saw that.
They couldn't understand, or process what had just happened. Not understanding the gray robed man's powers, they all thought that he was somewhere at the peak Martial Knight stage and as such his speed shouldn't be at this impossible stage. They believed that no matter what he did, or how he tried to dodge, it would be futile and they would all be able to easily follow his path.
This sudden turn of events came as a surprise to everyone present.
Even so, he might not be able to escape from Pei Syriac's pursuit entirely.
But now that one of Aiden's secret techniques were revealed and his wings were visible, it meant that he had no way of escaping through a moment of surprise and had to fight both of them head-on!
Although it was only a slight movement, the atmosphere in the battlefield changed miraculously.
Descending from the skies, Aiden gripped his pitch black sword like a fearless martial god and suppressed Yang Zahn completely in terms of aura!
"[Reptilian] Hmm?"
When they saw that, the expressions of the two protector elders have changed.
Without waiting for them to think further, Aiden shouted forward. "DIE!"
Upon his word, as if on command in the next instant, the image of a huge blade descended from the sky above them.
*SPLASH!*
The bloody scarlet light expanded and the sound of a sea tide surged. It was the first strike of the [Void Splitting Manual], Creation!
Recognizing this force, the two Martial Grandmaster elders exclaimed with shocked expressions.
"[Reptilian] Sword Force!"
"[Reptilian] No…"
The golden-robed old man's expression shifted and he murmured as if he had just thought of something. A memory, older than himself emerged in his mind in the next moment, turning his already wrinkled face even paler.
"[Reptilian] That sword technique… it's familiar, it somehow resembles…"
"[Reptilian] The Sword Emperor's technique!"
Instantly, a piece of news that they had heard more than ten days ago flashed through the minds of all the Martial Artists.
The sudden disappearance of the Metal Tree Grove. The rumor of another mysterious man who had obtained the Sword Emperor's inheritance after so many years.
Could it be? Could there be a truth to those stories?
So, it was him!
It was no wonder why Aiden disappeared for a period of time after the bloody battle on the long street and was able to uproot the Corpse Poison Sect with unparalleled dominance upon his equally so sudden return!
Everything made perfect sense all of a sudden. Everyone's doubts vanished as the puzzle's so far missing pieces have finally, bit by bit fit to their place.
Against Creation, Yang Zahn's spear technique seemed extremely crude and weak. It was as if a child was trying to stand against the massive raging tide of the ocean.
All the spear shadows dissipated instantly, revealing the true spear!
*CLANG!*
Rygintarth's pitch black blade collided heavily against the bone spear and countless of arcs of lightning surged within the blood beam, drowning and cleansing the malevolent aura on the bone spear!
Suppression!
It was a complete suppression in terms of aura, technique, bloodline, and power! Complete dominance!
Yang Zahn yelled out in pain as his palms split open with fresh green blood flowing out.
Instantly, the bone spear flew from his hands and was repelled. Turning into a cold streak of light, it pierced deeply into the wall behind him and the end of the spear trembled endlessly.
*CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!*
Against the impact of that terrifying slash, Yang Zahn's protection artifacts were shattered one after another instantly as he collapsed, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
He was severely injured after a slash!
In reality, if not for those protection artifacts he carried secretly, Yang Zahn would have already been killed by Aiden's single slash!
Even then, Yang Zahn was heavily injured and was sent flying after his life saving artifacts were shattered against the slash.
The martial artists in the cave abode were shocked when they saw that!
Out of the several possibilities, that was an outcome that none of them expected!
Nobody imagined that the fearsome Dark Lord, the young heir of Malefic Demons Clan's throne would not be able to withstand a single slash against the gray robed mysterious Aiden!
Although part of it was because Yang Zahn had severely underestimated his opponent, the strength that Aiden displayed once again refreshed everyone's impression of him.
Who could have imagined that he was the one to obtain the Sword Emperor's inheritance.
Furthermore, he had even managed to train to the level of Force in such amount of time. His comprehension was out of this world!
"[Reptilian] Hmm?"
The skinny old man that was initially idle by the side strode a half-step forward with a changed expression, wanting to interfere.
But right after, when he saw the shadow behind Aiden's back, he was relieved and stood back.
The reason was simple.
Pei Syriac was now at Aiden's back!
Given their proximity, no Martial Artist would be able to fight head-on against a Crystal Palace Sect disciple of the same martial realm without being disadvantaged.
Furthermore, Aiden had just released Creation and his power was at its weakest right now. His energy, his stamina should be spent.
The power of Force took an immense toll on Martial Knight realm warriors and Aiden could not use it repeatedly as well.
Therefore, both Elders knew that Aiden would either be severely injured or might even turn out dead given Pei Syriac's precise timing of attack!
Pei Syriac's eyes shimmered like two ominous gemstones as he chanted his clan's secret mantra, further enhancing his body's strength in one explosive, hopefully, lethal strike.
With every single word chanted, his aura would change.
In the end, there was a mysterious luster covering his muscles, flawless like crystal, that raised his aura to a maximum point!
"[Reptilian] Die!"
Pei Syriac's golden robe fluttered without any wind. Arriving behind Aiden, he shouted as he whirled his gigantic fists and smashed down viciously at Aiden's head!
His face was sinister and cold, his strike ruthless!
