The Blood King

"hmmm?! what are you two doing?! we are in the middle of a war, do you think this is a game?!" the angry general shouted angrily. " my apologies general...." the second prince stopped and apologised right away. " hmm?" clank! Levi slashed down. " humph! didn"t you hear what the gener" clank! Levi"s eyes became completely red once again. " yo-" boom! just as the second prince was about to say something, he was sent flying by a sabre strike embedded with blood energy, causing him to break multiple wooden benches. " dammit! dammit! THIS IS MY BODY! YOU ARE MINE! SO LISTEN TO ME!" Levi roared as blood energy rose from his body, his eyes slowly returning to normal. " you...what are you?" the second prince got up from the ground, looking at Levi as a terrifying gloomy killing intent escaped from his body. boom! " didn"t you f.u.c.kers hear me?!? i said stop the f.u.c.king fighting!" the angry general released his full heaven and earth stage cultivation, crus.h.i.+ng both Levi and the second prince beneath it"s pressure. " ge-general....you can"t do that to the prince..." the soldiers looked at this scene blackeyed.

" take these two and confine them!" the general bellowed. " b-but general..." a soldier said. " do you want to join them?! confine them without food for the rest of the day!" the general commanded. " ri-right away, general....." the soldiers all had tears in their eyes. they could all get executed for this! " i-i...i"m so sorry second prince....." the soldier brought the second prince away, while another one brought Levi away, both equally scared. "..." behind the wooden bars, Levi sat cross-legged, meditating once again to calm himself. "...unnnn..." after calming himself, he released the extreme yin and yang in his body once again. after a few hours, the sun was once again on the horizon. the extreme yin and yang were still released in his body, causing brown liquid to pour out. "..." enduring the pain, Levi realised that the rate that the brown liquid was flowing out slowed, before stopping completely. he kept the extreme yin and yang flowing through his body for a few more minutes, but after not seeing any more of the brown liquid being released, he stopped them.

"..." Levi started to absorb qi, but found that after only a few minutes, he was unable to absorb any more. in the cell beside Levi"s, the second prince sat quietly, his eyes closed. " second prince, you should eat something...." a soldier walked up and said. " no need." the second prince replied calmly. " you can give it to him." he said after a short pause. "...ok, then. hey, take this food." the soldier walked to Levi"s cell, before saying. "....hey! are yo-!!" Levi opened his eyes, staring at the man coldly. "...ah.." after Levi closed his eyes again, the man hurriedly left. " i can only absorb this amount of qi even after the brown liquid stopped coming out.....this amount of qi is meaningless..." Levi thought. he sent blood energy through his body, in an attempt to channel it through his primordial meridians. " aggghhhh!" he abruptly began groaning, as he writhed around on the ground. " what"s wrong with him?" hey, don"t get involved, that kid is crazy. it"s like he is some kind of devil..." two soldiers looked at the scene with varying expressions.

" huff! huff!" Levi breathed heavily, his eyes wide open. he felt like something was sc.r.a.ping his flesh from the inside, this intense pain was on the same level, if not more painful than the extreme yin and yang. " haa...haaa...i must be foolish...huff...of course these meridians, which were only recently cleared of impurities would be weak...haa...and here i am trying to send blood energy through them...hahaha, how foolish.." Levi laughed mockingly at himself. after the pain subsided, he got back up into his sitting position, wiping some brown liquid from his face, for the first time, he moved the primordial qi that rested in his primordial meridians. he moved the qi throughout what seemed to be endless channels, then suddenly, all of the qi was gone. after waiting for a while, the qi did not return, so he absorbed more from the atmosphere and began channeling it again. but to his surprise, the same thing happened again. bewildered by this, he continued to absorb qi and channel it through his primordial meridians, and before he knew it, morning had come once again.

creak! the wooden bars opened, creating a high pitched creaking sound. " second prince, you can come out now. again, i am so sorry for what the general did..." the soldier bowed. Levi"s bars were opened and that was it, he walked out silently and left to bathe. "..." the second prince looked at Levi"s departing figure, his eyes narrowing. " alright, today we have to be more careful!" the angry general shouted. " if you had waited for us yesterday, instead of running off on your own, you wouldn"t have been so humiliatingly defeated, you fool." the cold general said coldly. " who was defeated?!" the angry general shouted back. " talking to a fool is such a waste of time." the cold general said coldly. " now now, don"t be like this! we have to go deal with the divine dragon continent, you can bicker afterward! ahh!" the laid back general said with a smile, as he placed a wooden cup onto the table and releasing a satisfied breath. " who"s bickering?!" they both asked at the same time. " stop copying me!" they both said again. " you two are like children." this thought pa.s.sed through the soldiers heads. " anyway, we have to be prepared, so be serious. is what i"d love to say, but in my entire life, when was i ever serious? hahaha. men, go get ready!" the laid back general said with a large smile.

" humph!" they snorted, before ordering their men. the silent general left first, to scout out the enemy camp. after a few minutes, he returned, meeting the other 3 generals right outside of the imperial city"s walls, making gestures with his hands instead of speaking. " hmm, mhhm, a few miles away from the imperial city. alright men! it"s time for a counter attack!" the angry general shouted. half an hour later, the 4 armies arrived on a large cliff, with the four generals looking over the edge. below, a large camp was set up on the beach, with no one to be seen. " hmm? i just remembered, where are the martial clans?" the angry suddenly asked. " who knows?" the cold general said. "..." the silent general made signals with his hands. " this camp is probably a trap? that"s obvious, do i look stupid?" the angry general asked, while the silent general kept silent. " hmm, then let us go a few miles from here, keeping eyes on all of the routes leading to and from here." the cold general said.

they turned around and started riding back the way they came. " stop!" the cold general abruptly shouted, causing the soldiers to stop. " hmm? what are you doing?" the angry general asked. " ahh, i see. how could we have missed this on our way here?" the laid back general said, a slightly cold smile on his face. " hmm?!" the angry general turned and looked around. "....what?! are those portable trap inscriotions? " the angry general looked around silently for a few seconds, before shouting. " yeah." the cold general said. these portable inscriptions resembled hexagonal, metalic badges. they were made in such a way that, if a person walked by them twice, they would activate, releasing poison or exploding. those two were just a few of many things that could happen if these portable inscriptions activated.

clap! clap! "!!" the sound of clapping rang out from the edge of the cliff, causing the 4 generals to turn around. " obviously you didn"t see them, i had them placed on the side of the trees that you wouldn"t be able to see." a youth wearing a dark blue robe, with embroidered scaled at the end of the sleeves said, his long black hair blowing in the wind as he stood at the edge of the cliff. " humph!" the angry general snorted as he turned his horse around, charging at the youth. " aren"t you even going to ask who i am?" the youth asked, as the angry general raised his spear. " you are obviously one of those brats from the divine dragon continent! what is there to ask about?!" the angry general lowered his spear, a dense qi coating it. " hmm?!" clank!! " neihhh!" a powerful arrow shot towards the angry general, who swiftly brought the spear head to block it. the force of the arrow caused the horse to lean to one side, almost falling.

" it is always easier to kill the fool first." the youth said, as he took a spear with a dark blue rod and a frosty looking head, from his back. " the six eagles ascending!" the youth shouted, as his spear pierced out. six after images of the spear curved in towards the angry general, forcing him to block every strike, a few light cuts still appearing on his hands and face. " haaaaa!" knocking away the spare, the angry general shouted as his qi gathered in his spear once again, and he slashed out. sou! as soon as he slashed out, an arrow whistled through the air, but the spear did not stop. crack! the spear and arrow collided once again, the spear smas.h.i.+ng the arrow into dust, while heading towards the youth in blue with terrifying power. crack! after a short resistance, the youth"s defensive qi shattered, as he was sent soaring from the cliff. " cough!" he coughed a mouthful of blood as his body collided with the sandy ground below the cliff. "..ah..." looking down at his arm, the youth released a soft cry, as his arm was broken and mangled.
