The Last Primal

Aiden's expression changed slightly.

The might of the Coiling Dragon Seal had exceeded his expectations!

The power that was released was enough to threaten an early-stage Martial Master!

More importantly, a Martial Knight warrior's core still at most resembled the form of a spirit sea and had yet to completely fill up.

Only Martial Masters could release the true might of artifact treasures!

Aiden was looking forward to how amazing the Coiling Dragon Seal would be at that time.

There was a squeaking sound.

The stone doors opened and Lady Pyre came forth.

Their eyes met.

Aiden smiled and nodded, reassuring her.

Instantly, Lady Pyre blushed and pursed a smile in return.

Aiden beckoned gently and the Coiling Dragon Seal shrank into a small, intricate seal before turning into a streak of light that returned to his storage bag.

Walking slowly to the exit of the tunnel, he pushed down with his ankle and his Rygintarth returned to his palm.

Throughout the entire process, the white-robed cultivator, Jun Hao, and Shin Tao did not dare to move at all and kept quiet out of fear!

Every single action and gaze of Aiden caused the three of them to feel immense pressure. Their hearts raced fiercely as if they could die at any moment.

This was an almost invincible aura!

Their gazes flickered and their minds were bothered by the same thought.

How should they escape!

The Coiling Dragon Seal did not merely suppress a battle corpse, but also the final bit of determination in the three of them to want to retaliate.

The white-robed cultivator was the first to speak. A rare smile was squeezed out of his dreadfully glum face as he cupped his fists. "[Reptilian] Fellow Master, you are truly strong. I'm very impressed."

"[Reptilian] I'm nothing compared to you. You're someone who can even suppress the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island." Aiden looked at the white-robed cultivator with a fake smile.

Bearing an awkward expression, the white-robed cultivator forced a chuckle. "[Reptilian] You're joking, fellow Master. You're the one who's able to suppress the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island with your skills. I'm far inferior."

Aiden did not reply and waved his sword. Instantly, Rygintarth shot forth with a murderous void-like ebony beam once more!

Rygintarth was a perfect spirit weapon that was infused with Aiden's blood after all. Although it was tainted by the battle corpse's filthy blood, its sharpness could not be hidden.

Sensing Aiden's killing intent, the white-robed cultivator's heart skipped a beat as he remarked hurriedly. "[Reptilian] You! Y-You can't kill me!"

"Oh?"

Aiden uttered without raising his head.

Composing himself, the white-robed cultivator said in a deep voice. "[Reptilian] You should know the status of Corpse Refinement Cult in the world! If you kill me, you'll be hunted down by the entire sect! There would be no chance for you!"

"[Reptilian] Hmm... That's interesting… Say, even if I kill you… who would know?"

Aiden smiled gently.

The white-robed cultivator was speechless.

On the other hand, Jun Hao and Shin Tao felt a chilling intent!

In other words, what Aiden meant was that he was going to kill them all!

After killing the three of them, news of this would never ever be spread!

There was something else that Aiden kept to himself.

'Who cares about your Corpse Refinement Cult, huh? I've even killed quite a few paragons from all the top factions! You're just one of them! Even if they would find out, what could they possibly do once I leave this gods' forsaken realm?!' Aiden sneered inwardly.

*Clang!*

The blade shuddered and a startling blood beam flashed.

When Aiden attacked once more, the gigantic blade seemed extremely agile in his hands; his slash forward caused ripples in the void.

The white-robed cultivator's expression changed starkly.

While that slash did not seem fast, there was an inescapable feeling to it.

For Corpse Refinement Cult cultivators, losing their battle corpses was as good as losing half of their combat strength.

He could not deal with the terrifying saber technique of the Saber Emperor's Void Splitting Manual. A single moment of distraction and he felt his throat go cold followed by a ripping pain!

A red scar appeared on his throat, turning bigger and more defined!

The next moment.

A bloodied, scarlet mist spewed out.

"Ee.. "

A strange sound came from the depths of the white-robed cultivator's throat as he let out an indignant expression. Collapsing stiffly forward, the light in his eyes dimmed without any life.

His throat was slit with a single slash!

After killing the Corpse Refinement Cult cultivator, Aiden turned around and walked towards Jun Hao and Shin Tao without hesitation.

"[Reptilian] It was the idea of Jun Hao and the others! I-I had no choice as well! That's why I chose the wrong path!"

When he saw that the situation was amiss, Shin Tao knelt on the ground with a thud. His hand was placed seemingly casually on his storage bag as he bawled without a single shred of dignity as a cultivator.

Wiping his snot, Shin Tao said with a quivering voice. "[Reptilian] Young Master, p-please give me a chance…"

However, Aiden did not have any bit of pity at all towards a fence sitter like Shin Tao.

Today, this man could kneel down and cry before him in order to survive.

Tomorrow, this man could stab him in the back instead!

Arriving before Shin Tao, Aiden looked down and replied indifferently. "[Reptilian] At times, once you choose the wrong path, there's no way back."

Shin Tao's final hope was dashed after hearing Aiden's reply.

His hand was still on his storage bag.

But now, a dagger with a cold glint had suddenly appeared in his palms.

Shin Tao's sobs came to a stop as his expression darkened. With a venomous gaze, he said coldly. "[Reptilian] Since you won't allow me to live, I'll kill you first!"

Grabbing his dagger, Shin Tao stabbed towards Aiden's chest!

This was a complete ambush!

However, his thoughts could not escape from Aiden's spirit perception.

The moment Shin Tao stood up, Aiden's palm descended from above and landed heavily on the former's head.

*Splat!*

As though it was hot butter, Shin Tao's head was splattered and he died on the spot without a single word.

The moment Shin Tao attacked, Jun Hao made up his mind and channeled his spirit energy with all his might as well. In a flash, his rank seven Martial Knight power lit up as he charged towards Lady Pyre who was at the entrance of the stone chamber.

Right now, she was his only shot at living!

As long as he could hold her hostage, he could talk terms with Aiden!

As Jun Hao charged, he realized that Lady Pyre was motionless and merely looked at him quietly.

There was a trace of mockery and pity in her eyes., which he just couldn't understand…

All of a sudden!

From the side of his eyes, Jun Hao caught sight of a dark beam of light shooting towards him at lightning speed!

It crackled and was shuddering.

The moment Shin Tao attacked, Aiden flung out his trusted aide, the ebony blade, Rygintarth.

Jun Hao did not have time to react and merely caught sight of the scarlet flash.

Right after, an immense pain came from beneath his ribs as he was sent flying by a powerful impact!

*Clang!*

Aiden's Rygintarth cut through Jun Hao and pinned the latter tightly against the stone walls!

The impact was immensely strong and the blade was still shaking after embedding itself in the stone walls!

Jun Hao's eyes and mouth widened as fresh blood gushed out uncontrollably.

The saber had not only penetrated his body but also destroyed his organs and cut off his chance at life!

"[Reptilian] You… "

Raising his arm with much struggle, Jun Hao pointed at Aiden, as if he wanted to say something.

After a momentary pause, his head tilted to the side and he died with opened eyes. As they lost their luster, they were filled with unwillingness!

In less than 10 minutes, all three of them were dead!

…

"[Reptilian] Young Master, you've saved me once more."

Lady Pyre beamed brightly and quipped. "[Reptilian] I won't be able to clear my debt to you in this lifetime."

Aiden smiled as well. "[Reptilian] There's no need to speak of such things between us."

"[Reptilian] Hmm… Level eight Martial Knight... Seems like you've gotten quite a bit stronger whilst I was away."

"[Reptilian] Indeed, I was lucky, Young Master."

It had to be said that Aiden had truly benefited way too much in this ancient battlefield expedition.

Not mentioning the inheritances and treasures, his power realm gained through this short while, was already enough to make up for dozens of years of hard-fought training in the world!

Suddenly, Lady Pyre's expression changed as she asked, "Xiaoning and the others…"

Aiden's group had a bit more than half a dozen people when he left. Now that he was the only one who returned, Lady Pyre had a bad feeling about things.
