Western warlords palace.As soon as the wide destruction of western warlords palace entered their sight, a sharp pain throbbed their heart, which made their eyes burn with hatred.
Corpses all around, headless and half intact bodies, organs spun around and with a rich aura that entered their sight, it made them judge that it was an unorthodox work.
Men, women, elderly and children...
Irrespective of their age and gender, an heart breaking sight had entered their eyes, that made their eyes red.
If it was all, they wouldn"t get that much hurted!
But when their ancient array was fully activated, the sky above the western branch had appeared for a minute before cracking out widly to let them warp out in a single leap.
But at that small interval of time, they had anxiously waiting for an hour, awaiting the activation of ancient array only to look at an mad man that was laughing out madly in an aura of breakthrough.
The hearts of central branch skipped a beat, with eyes that long turned red looking at the person that seemed to have killed their comerads for cultivation.
After exiting the warp, the central branch experts had surrounded rule, and with the help of millions they were confident enough to capture Rule for venting their hatred.
" Say why had you annihilated my western branch? "
Surrounded by reinforcements from central warlords palace and flying dragon unit, Rule was questioned by a yellow robed lady, who was glaring cold at him, with reddened eyes as if the western branch was destroyed in hands of him.
" Annihilate? Western branch? Little wench, what nonsense are you trying to spout? "
Raising his brows sharply, with an extreme hostile face, Rule bellowed back in return, glaring cold at the yellow robed lady, that was making a false accusation of slaughter on the innocent him.
When the aura of seventh stage spirit saint was emitted out his body.
Instead of getting intimidated by him they gazes turned more colder and their expressions turned more hostile, as if the person before then was flaunting out his powers after reaping the lives of their dear comrades.
The gazes were telling out as if they want to skin him alive and torture him to the extreme with the most painful death as possible.
With slim long beard hung below and a half exposed upper body from the breakthrough, accompanied by wild temper of his which befits a demonic pract.i.tioner, they had totally mistook Rule for an another.
"A demonic pract.i.tioner in place of holy church cardinal!"
The reinforcements had judged him out as a demon, that came to prey on their western branch, to make a breakthrough which could be clearly spotted by their senses of fresh break through aura around him.
" Say it louder you devil, It is to break through the current realm right? "
The decisive and proud self of her had burst out to tears, thinking of the torture their comerad souls had gone through to help the demon a breakthrough.
" Do you have any idea, whom you little ***** is speaking to?
I have a high standing in church, and don"t go speak an another word of slander... or else, I"ll cut your tongue this second to let go of my anger by then! "
Rule roared out, bursting out a dark red aura out his body which made them confirm their guesses.
Rule was always a proud and arrogant one, a bit selfish at it, but never an evil one!
When they had related him to that, it made him mad, and the composure of him turn for a hostile one.
" Demon church! "
Rey and Daniel were alerted by the term church, and since the accused was labeled a demon pract.i.tioner, they had related him a high figure of demon church.
" Do you belong to the branch of this continent? "
Rey questioned out.
" Yes! "
Folding his hands as a disciplined authority, Rule exclaimed out with a proud face.
" He said that he was a high figure in church so going on by his current cultivation he must be a cardinal of this continent branch!"
Rey exclaimed internally
Looking at the serious expression on Rey Daniel got the general idea and exclaimed.
" By any chance are you a cardinal? "
" Yes! "
When rule gave out his second yes, arrogantly, the eyes of them had turned to extreme cold, with an deep grudge like expression on their faces.
" So you belong to the church and a cardinal on top of it? "
Gritting her teeth tightly, she continued
" By our worldly agreement didn"t we signed a thousand year contract with your demon bunch, just to stay away from us humans? "
She finished out by roaring loud which had reverberated throughout the palace.
" Humans! Thousand year contract! The *uck I belong to holy church d.a.m.n it! "
Before he could answer to clear the misunderstanding, Rey unsheathed her sword before pointing at his face only to roar angrily, stating.
" You have broken the pact and deserves death! "
Kill!
With the van guard like experts from Miltons who were going a.s.sist them in killing, how could the warlord palace turn back in face of a powerful spirit saint.
Thousands of central branch experts lept forwards, with large numbers that made him more madder than earlier.
Boom!
Jumping strait from her mount, Rey swung her sword valiantly directly aiming at the head only to split apart his body as a whole with impeding momentum that could easily slice apart mountains.
Fortunately Rule had blocked it with his black cane, the principle weapon he use.
Few more swings and rule had effortlessly blocked out her slashes, only to hit her hard in between her cheat to push her apart.
" Cough! Cough! Lecherous b.a.s.t.a.r.d! "
The previous blow had burned out a part of her robes, in between her chest, which had half exposed her cleavage.
With burning hatred that wouldn"t clench until the leach before her dies, she lept again.
" Rey, let me help you! "
Since this was an opportunity to hit on her, Daniel lept forwards with the a.s.sisting executives, who had started attacking from all angles.
" Killing would intensify the matters and these fools had already discerned me a devil, only by intimidating them and having an upper hand would I get a say in this matter! "
Rule exclaimed out internally only to roar out loud that pushed the experts from approaching him.
" I! Belong! To! The! Holy! Church! "
With a large pillar of red aura that emitted out his body, rule roared out swinging his cane in wide arcs, only to push the weaklings in the group miles apart to reduce his burden.
" Like we"ll believe the words of a demon! "
Daniel bellowed out, and the fight continued.
######
At Gazil"s base.
" Haha! So you"re that boy from Milton in that remote palace! "
Gazil laughed out loudly, grabbing the neck of Xena who was standing next to him, soullesly without an expression as if she was put under control.
" You came for her right? "
" You can take her away, but before you take this little maiden out my place why don"t you entertain this Gazil by your performance?
If it"s entertaining enough, you little ones can walk out alive! If not become a third eye for me to spy out in house Milton! "
Mark acted as If he was startled by his words, with a self of frown hung on his face which showed how frightened was he after hearing those words.
" As expected! He wouldn"t simply call out to this rural place to return the hostage for free!
He wants me to become his dog to dig out the information of Milton for him! "
Mark sighed internally, when his a.s.sumption had ringed out to be correct.
" Release! "
Gazil muttered lightly and Xena got back to her senses, panicking around only to spot out that she had lost control of her body.
" Bring that human dog for this lord! "
Signaling with his fingers, Gazil ordered his men to bring out a human.
In tattered robes, a severely wounded old man was presented before him, whose robes was half dyed red, presumably blood which made him look worse than a beggar in appearance.
" Wait! Isn"t that the person who was seen next to that Xena girl! "
Mark was startled cause that person had radiated his presence which wasn"t far from an emperor, yet was not a one, presumably at half stage emperor cultivator with a bit more potential to jump a realm.
If such an expert was reduced to that state, Mark couldn"t fathom the state he would result in, if he were to fight openly against them.
" No wonder, she gave me the possibility of ten percentage to get out alive! "
Mark cursed internally only to exclaim.
" What should this young master have to do, for lord to let us walk out alive? "
Mark was neither arrogant nor humble, but still he left few traces of anxiety in his face to let Gazil feel that every thing was going around with his plan, without much error.
" Nothing much, just fight him if you"ll win that"s fine you can walk out alive, but, remember the consequences if you were to loose out to him!
I hate those that goes back on their words or promises! "
Releasing an intimidating aura out his body Gazil exclaimed with an evil grin.
" Fight him? He looks as if he"ll die the next second I punch. Did he want me to kill this old one, but even if I do actually kill him, what would this Gazil get out of it, it"s confusing! "
Mark exclaimed internally only to get more confused with further thoughts, but still could find that it"ll affect him badly.
His questions died out quickly when the weak half kneeling figure in front of him got robust all of a sudden with bulged muscles, when a blood red serum was injected into his neck.
As if he was a Herculean warrior popped out his body. The frail self of him got enlarged with tightened cloths which eventually got torned off at the end.
A h.e.l.l red skin that mostly seemed to be forged with heavy metal and black totems drawn out on his body which made him look a bit ancient.
" Roar!~~~~~ "
As if generations of grudge was built up between them, he made an ear piercing roar and that red herculean figure leaped out clenching both his fists as one, only to smash towards mark with totems that shone gold all of a sudden.
Boom!
The land cracked out, large chunk of ma.s.s was thrown out in the air with Mark who had narrowly escaped that blow by traversing out few meters behind him.
" Aura Emperor! "
Mark got startled only to spot that the cultivation of royal family guard had risen up till peak of initial order aura emperor, a bit away from mid order that would render mark no chance if retaliation by then.
" Hahahaha~~~~ "
" Results of First batch of artificial mutants! how does this feel, do you feel like conceding before me? "
Gazil gave an evil laughter, filled with confidence as if mark was bound to lose, if not get crippled, if the fight starts for real.
