There were few martial artists who could bear to attack her.
Unfortunately, her opponent was Dughur Jian.
In his eyes, Norel Anette was nothing more than an ordinary martial artist.
There was no great deal about killing her.
The blessed woman of an ancient aristocratic family fell from midair, already dead by the time her body reached the ground.
Boom!
At the end of the day, Dughur Jian still used up quite a bit of his focus to divert part of his phenomenon's power to protect Aiden while killing Norel Anette.
The masked man seized the opportunity to strike.
Boom!
An arm flawless as jade tore through the air with a fist that resembled a steel hammer, bursting forth with an extremely alarming might instantly.
Dughur Jian's expression did not change. Unable to raise his sword in time, he could only punch in retaliation!
Bang!
The two fists collided.
Snap!
The sound of bones cracking could be heard.
Dughur Jian's wrist was snapped by the masked man, twisting to an unbelievable degree!
Crystal Palace Sect was the best-versed in body tempering in the martial art world.
Crystal Palace Sect disciples, even if they were not Jorl Wuya, had extremely strong physiques and frightening melee combat strength that ordinary martial artists could not imagine.
However, what everyone truly felt terrified about was Dughur Jian.
Even with his snapped wrist, Dughur Jian was still emotionless as ever, as though that was not his hand and he did not feel any pain at all.
He was way too calm.
Dughur Jian was so calm that nobody could sense any trace of panic coming from him.
Despite his snapped wrist, Dughur Jian did not stop at all and instead, raised his sword in reverse without giving the masked man a chance to follow up at all.
The masked man retreated slightly slower and instantly, a bloody gash appeared on his chest!
Poof!
Once again, the masked man's expression changed as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He could clearly sense an endlessly sharp sword energy surging into his body, trying to cut up his flesh, bones, tendons, and organs.
Hurriedly, he channeled his blood energy to suppress it.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he managed to contain the wound and purge out the sword energy.
Although it seemed like he gained the advantage in that exchange of blows, in reality, they were on even ground.
The only difference for Dughur Jian with his snapped left wrist was that he wouldn't be able to hold onto his sword sheath with his left hand.
However, Dughur Jian's sword technique was completely unaffected and turned even more intimidating instead!
A paragon was bound to die with every single attack of his!
Both sides continued in the stalemate.
All of a sudden!
The sound of clothes fluttering through the air could be heard from the distant horizon.
A series of incomparably strong auras surged forward, tearing through the air.
The auras were wildly berserk, seemingly filled with rage, as they sped over. Before they even arrived, an unnerving dominance had already engulfed everyone present!
"This aura…"
"Martial Grandmasters!"
"Even Martial Grandmasters are alarmed and there's so many of them!"
Instantly, the crowd went wild.
Everyone knew that they would definitely fade into the background the moment Martial Grandmasters interfered.
It was unknown who the Vermilion Fruit would end up with eventually – that would still depend on the capabilities of the Martial Grandmasters.
However, there was only one thing everyone was certain of… somebody was about to die!
That person had slain way too many paragons of the North Region and had offended almost all the factions of the North Region – he was definitely doomed to die today!
The might of the gathered Martial Grandmasters was horrifying and all of the martial artists fightings stopped, not daring to act recklessly.
The old man from Crystal Palace Sect was the first to arrive and his expression was terribly dark!
Although he had already rushed over with all his might after noticing that something was amiss, it was still too late.
Jorl Wuya's Destiny Talisman was already shattered on his way here!
Who was the person who could kill Jorl Wuya?
There was definitely no Martial Master in the North Region who could be a match for Jorl Wuya.
Even if a Martial Grandmaster managed to avoid them and infiltrate the Great Forbidden Ruins, wasn't there a chance for Jorl Wuya to escape if he could not defeat his foe?
That was impossible!
In the blink of an eye, the various Martial Grandmasters have already arrived.
Their eyes were filled with endless shock as they looked at the corpses sprawled on the ground!
They had expected this Vermilion Fruit fight to be a cruel test for the paragons of the North Region.
However, none of them expected it to be this tragic!
Jorl Wuya's body laid limply on the ground with its tendons and bones snapped – it was already a meat sludge.
His eyes widened, as if even till the moment of his death, he could not believe that he would be buried in these ruins!
Lockster Kang's body was torn into pieces and his original appearance could not even be seen any longer.
Norel Anette's corpse had a gash on her chest that was evidently created by an expert in the way of the sword.
There were way too many paragons that could no longer speak at this point either as they laid on the ground as ice-cold corpses.
The old man from Crystal Palace Sect's gaze turned extremely sharp as he surveyed his surroundings, scanning everyone present. When he came across Aiden, he paused slightly.
Aiden was extremely calm and there was no trace of fear in his eyes even as he faced this many Martial Grandmasters!
When he sensed the stare from the old man of Crystal Palace Sect, Aiden smirked and glared back in return with the same intensity.
"What happened here!"
The Perfected Lord of Taban clan could not help but holler loudly, asking.
Taban Feng pointed at Aiden and shouted, "It's all because of him! He's the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island from the ancient battlefield!"
"That's right! He was the one who killed most of the fallen Fellow Daoists of the Martial Master realm!"
"Hmm?"
The expressions of the Martial Grandmasters changed slightly.
The monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island!
To think that the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island would actually arrive in the North Region after leaving the ancient battlefield!
It was no wonder!
It was no wonder why the paragons of the North Region met with such a great calamity!
This monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island was truly scary. Even just at early-stage Martial Master realm, he was able to kill the number one Perfected Being of the North Region, Jorl Wuya!
Who else could be a match for him?
The many Martial Grandmasters stared at Aiden with somewhat weird gazes. Apart from hatred, there seemed to be something else.
It was more like… greed!
Their gazes resembled the way the Martial Masters looked at the Vermilion Fruit.
Many of the Martial Grandmasters instinctively looked towards Aiden's right hand.
There was a rumor in the martial art world that the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island's right hand contained a supreme treasure – the ancient draconic scales!
That was the scales of a divine being!
Even Void Reversions and Dharma Characteristics would be tempted to get their hands on a treasure as such, let alone Martial Grandmasters!
The gaze of the old man from Crystal Palace Sect flashed.
In his eyes, there was far more than the ancient draconic scales to Aiden.
This man possessed way too many secrets in his body.
There was everything concerning Holy Fire Island.
The legacy of the sword Emperor.
The secrets within the Ancient One's Palace.
Also… was this monster incarnate a mortal or a dragon?
How could immortals and demons coexist?
The only way to find out about those unknowns was by capturing this monster incarnate!
"Monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island. Great, great!"
The old man from Crystal Palace Sect had a cold tone. Withdrawing an antiquated mirror from his storage bag, he said, "Let's see what the true form of this monster incarnate is!"
When he heard that, Aiden's heart sank.
Before he could react, the old man from Crystal Palace Sect flung the mirror in his hands in the air.
Instantly, a resplendent radiance burst forth in a bedazzling manner.
The endless radiance converged into a light column that descended on Aiden.
There was an extremely mysterious power in the light column that did not contain much killing power.
However, Aiden shuddered and his bones and tendons rang at the same time as his body shrank uncontrollably.
His face and features started changing!
Under countless gazes, an elegant face was revealed.
The burly man with rough features earlier on had vanished entirely!
"Who is this? Is he the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island?"
"So, the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island is such a young man. He looks rather refined, like a scholar."
"To think that such a frail and refined scholar would be so domineering. I truly couldn't tell at all."
Aiden's heart sank as he heard the discussions.
He knew that he could not hide everything anymore!
