night.a figure was walking in the darkness, moving towards the center of the cloud sect. " do you know how to get down to the altar?" levi asked. " there are runes embedded in this paG.o.da and the ground around it, so i"m guessing that they are what causes the paG.o.da to go into the mountain at certain times of the day. as for how to get it to do so, i don"t know." the demon saint said. "...". "then i will just have to forget about getting that knife." levi mumbled.
levi"s back bulged as two blood wings sprouted from his back. wfoo! the two wings flapped as levi shot into the sky, flying towards another nearby mountain. "did you give up on destroying this sect?" the demon saint suddenly asked. "the cloud and the sun sects tried to kill me, so i will not let them live." levi replied. "but if you want to destroy the cloud sect why are you leaving?" the demon saint asked once more. " apparently, the cloud sect"s master was injured after fighting the old man. so he stays on a mountain close to the cloud sect, that is where i"m going." levi said.
"although the cloud sect"s master may be injured, he is not someone you can kill." the demon saint said. "if someone doesn"t know an attack is coming, how can they defend against it?" levi smiled lightly. while flying, his hair returned to it"s original red as his eyes became golden. "it feels good to be in my own skin again hahaha..." levi mumbled. as he got closer to the mountain, a large white stone building came into view.
levi flew and landed on the open stone balcony, before walking towards the door. just as he was about to reach out to the door, the sound of something cutting through air was heard. "haah!" a shout was heard as a sharp sword light whistled through the air towards levi. drip drip! levi dodged to the side, but was still too slow. "who are you?" he asked coldly, clutching his left shoulder. a long gash started from the top of his left shoulder and went down his back, stopping halfway.
"who am i? shouldn"t i be the one asking that? seeing as this is the cloud sect master"s hall." a slim man with long flowing grey hair stood, sword in hand. "humph!" levi took his sword from the storage ring, before charging at the man. "!!" boom! " ooof!" before he could reach the man, a powerful fist shot toward him at a terrifying speed. he tried to block with his sword but was too slow, only managing to get the edge in the way. the blade was chipped as he was sent cras.h.i.+ng into the tiled floor, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"can"t beat them. i have to run." he swiftly got up from the ground as blood wings burst out from his back as he shot into the air. boom! before he could go anywhere, a large amount of a dark murky qi sent him cras.h.i.+ng into the floor, destroying the tiles. looking up, he saw a familiar face. "you..." he said in a low voice. "i finaly found you, brat! and now, that fool of a sect master isn"t here to save you!" in the sky, elder rock hovered.
"so you set up the old man?" levi unsteadily stood, clutching his tattered sword. a purple liquid flow from him fingers onto the blood red sword. "i did, so what? are you angry? hah! what am i even saying! it doesn"t matter since you will be dying here! that cloud sect brat was really helpful too!" elder rock shouted. "cloud sect brat?"levi asked. "what a fool, hiding in the cloud sect while trying to destroy it and even asking a disciple that hated you about the sect. i guess a fool of a sect master could only find a stupid disciple!" elder rock sneered.
levi once again shot into the sky, his eyes cold and calm. he slashed up towards elder rock, but before his sword could even get close, the white haired old man appeared at the side, slas.h.i.+ng down toward him. clank! he barely blocked the slash, but the power behind it sent him flying towards the ground once more. turning his head, he saw the muscular man waiting for him. but although he saw him, he still couldn"t block the attack. he was expecting the man to wait for him to fall before he attacked, but he jumped into the air punching him in his side.
before he could fall into the trees, levi grew his wings once more. he flew unsteadily, blood covering various parts of his body. "i"m loosing to much blood. i have to at least save what can still be saved." some of the blood around the gash on his shoulder seeped back in but it was still covered in blood. the blood on his mouth seeped into his skin. "ohh, what an interesting skill. give it to me!" elder rock shouted greedily as he shot towards levi who wasn"t moving.
puff!
a small black flame appeared in front of levi"s forehead, causing the temperature around him to drop slightly. "hmm?" elder rock stopped. "if i can"t kill the cloud sect"s master today, then at the very least, i will kill you!" as levi shouted, he shot towards elder rock, slas.h.i.+ng at him with his sword covered with his venom. clank! "you think trash like you can kill me?! i"m in the heaven and earth st-" he was interrupted as levi grew the fingernails of his left hand, stabbing towards elder rocks eye.
ting!
the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng rang out. elder rock moved his hand to block his eye in time, causing levi to retreat. "you! what kind of fingernails are those!?" elder rock shouted angrily. a bead of red blood was slowly seeping from the palm of his hand. he was angry that levi cloud cut him. "and you two! how long are you going to hold back on the account of him being a junior?! can"t you see how strong he is already? if he get"s away alive, you can bet your necks that he will return for revenge!" elder rock shouted.
sou!
hearing what elder rock said, the two cloud sect elders shot towards levi. "pfff!" levi was. .h.i.t in the stomach by a punch which held unimaginable strength, causing blood to spray from his mouth. while he barely dodged a sword that was going directly for his neck, causing blood to spray from it. "what are you doing?! use the defensive skill!" the demon saint"s voice was heard as he shouted in levi"s head.
levi began weaving tiny threads in that small amount of time. boom! crack! he was punched once again, defending with his arms as a crack rang out. he hit the ground once again, causing all of the wind to be sucked from his lungs. "heuk!" he got up from the ground as he gasped for air. "all of the threads are done, now only the cl-" his thoughts were interrupted as the white haired man slashed towards him. without enough time to weave the threads into a cloth, he randomly spread the threads all around his body.
before the sword light hit his body it slowed a little, but he was still left with a long b.l.o.o.d.y gash down his chest. "they are too much for me, i can"t beat them. demon saint, can you make people think mental energy is qi?" levi suddenly asked. "yes? but why are you asking this when you are about to die?" the demon saint questioned. "just answer the question." levi said while trying to dodge another attack.
"you have to infuse qi into the mental energy, but-" before he could finish, levi began trying to fuse the two. "hmm?" the white haired old man felt something amiss and retreated a bit. boom! a small but powerful explosion pushed levi back. "are you trying to kill me?!" he shouted angrily in his mind. "it was you who didn"t let me finish. as mental energy and qi are two almost opposite forces, fusing them would be difficult for anyone under the void levels." the demon saint said.
"say that sooner!" levi roared. but then he had a thought. charging towards the white haired old man, he gathered half of his qi in his palm. the old man slashed down with his sword coated with a violent wind qi, while levi extended his palm toward him. puchi! "too slow!" the sound of something ripping through flesh was heard as the man cut through levis right shoulder, wind qi ripping his flesh. "ha ha, you too old man." levi ignored the pain from his shoulder and lifted his palm once again, injecting a large amount of mental energy into the qi.
boom!!
a large explosion caused the man to be pushed back a bit, while levi"s right hand was mangled with almost all of the skin ripped off from the force. without wasting a second, levi shot into the sky with another ball of qi in his left hand, going directly for elder rock. seeing the amount of damage the explosion caused, elder rock rushed to dodge. "ha, a coward will remain a coward." with elder rock out of the way, levi pumped all of his remaining qi into his wings.
"what are you doing?! don"t let him get away!" the white haired old man came rus.h.i.+ng out from the dust that was kicked up by the explosion, his hair was disheveled but he was not hurt. "th-that brat! he tricked me! after him!" elder rock bellowed as he gave chase. "i don"t want to hear that from you!" the white haired old man shouted.
