Ever since that day, Nightin had already departed towards his final destination, the city past the Moss forest where the King Forces tournament will be held, the city of reverence.
To be more exact, it was already past the scaling of a city. It was a kingdom which was ruled by the only Martial Emperor in the lower realm, as for whether a Martial Emperor truly resides in the lower realm, that"s a question which no one would ever have an answer to.
It was currently twenty days away from the King Forces tournament and some important news have just been spread out. Out of the one thousand plus partic.i.p.ating sects, only sixty four of them would be able to take part.
Besides the King Forces, this could be the main highlight of this whole tournament. As the winner of the Top Forces tournament would be eligible to challenge any of the King Forces.
Nightin walked up to the registration hall and saw a man sitting down at the counter. In front of him was a registration form used to form up the partic.i.p.ation card, which would require the sect master to register personally using his or her personal token.
Nightin took out his toke from his spatial ring and held it by the feather before carefully placing it down on the table for inspection.
To prevent any wandering cultivators or anyone with weird ideas to come up with an method to deceive the check, they actually invited the one and only gold ring Array Master from the upper realm after paying a sky high price, to create and enforce a inspection array.
This resulted in the group of people who wanted to sneak their way in to have no choice, but to abandon the idea of doing so.
The counter took over the Nirvana token which Nightin pa.s.sed to him and placed it into the inspection machine, which contained the array made by that particular Array Master.
"Scanning in progress... Scanning has been completed, ident.i.ty has been successfully verified as true." A well articulated robotic voice sounded out when the token entered the machine,before flas.h.i.+ng out an ident.i.ty card with blue as the background colour.
Ident.i.ty: Sect master of the Nirvana sect, Nightin
Cultivation: Martial Lord early stage, Sword Ancestor
Even though Nightin isn"t a Sword Ancestor yet, two half Ancestor sword laws and two first cla.s.s sword laws definitely places him among the Sword Ancestors.
The robotic voice then sounded off again "Sect master of the Nirvana sect, please head towards the King cla.s.s sect resting area to await your disciples arrival.
Nightin nodded his head as he made his way to the gathering area, even though he doesn"t understand why his sect is already a King force.
[At the gathering area]
p.a.w.n was standing face to face with one of the disciples from the Psychic sect, one of the five King forces.
"You"re one of the representatives as a early grade Martial Lord? Don"t make me laugh!" The psychic sect disciple released his powerful aura of a late stage Martial Lord.
*Realms from the Martial Lord realm onwards are divided into the four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage and completion stage.*
p.a.w.n merely smirked and asked in a playful tone "If you can even touch me without getting defeated, I"ll give you my spatial ring, how about it?"
"You said it yourself!" The psychic sect disciple took out a chakram and threw it towards p.a.w.n, imbuing it with his psychic energy as it sliced through the air horizontally, aiming for p.a.w.n in the abdomen.
Swoosh
"This ain"t enough you fool." p.a.w.n with a calm mind, drew out a blue array in the air and said "Blue ring array: Ice grasp!"
A hand made of ice appeared from within the array and grasped the chakram, with a flick, it actually had its own consciousness and threw it towards the opponent closing in from the right.
"The h.e.l.l is this!" That disciple realised that his chakram was out of control until the attack lands, with a thought of his, he made a energy wall in front of him.
Ka Ka
Spiderwebs spread out on the wall quickly before shattering it into pieces as it continued its journey toward its owner.
Right at this life and death moment, an elder from the psychic sect appeared from above. "Energy palm!"
A palm made of condensed energy struck down and destroyed the chakram as it returned to its owner.
In an attempt to stop this, the chakram was actually slightly broken.
The heart of that disciple was bleeding in pain as anger consumed him, it was a gift from his grandfather who was one of the seven elders of the sect, to help him obtain this royale rank chakram, his grandfather had paid a great price for it. Yet right now, it was actually damaged by the person ahead of him.
"Young man, shouldn"t you consider his background first before making a move?" The elder questioned p.a.w.n in a harsh tone, it was clear that he was on the disciple"s side.
p.a.w.n with his character, wasn"t willing to back down as he argued back in a childish manner "Are you trying to pick on someone like me from the younger generation? I"m just a innocent young boy who accidentally broke the toy of a fellow boy, you won"t lower your status to bully me right?"
When p.a.w.n said this, tears actually started to well up on his face and grievance could be seen, this sight attracted the attention of the other four King forces as they turned their head.
The elder scolded back "Don"t you act all innocent with me! You sly fox, do you think that you can stop me just because of this?" Before anyone could react, he blasted a energy palm towards p.a.w.n.
p.a.w.n wanted to dodge, but he realised that he couldn"t dodge. In a final attempt, he quickly formed two energy arrays in the air "Dual blue ring, energy barrier and energy s.h.i.+eld!"
A transparent retangular barrier and a opaque circular s.h.i.+eld formed in the air, but they were only able to slow down the progress palm slightly before breaking apart, hitting p.a.w.n face on in the chest.
"Argh!"
p.a.w.n groaned out in pain as blood flowed out from his chest, his body flying backwards for hundreds of miles before stopping as he laid on the ground unconscious. Before he fainted however, he remembered the elixir Lin Ming gave him before his departure and swallowed it down, this should prevent him from getting injured too seriously.
All of this unfolded before Nightin"s eyes, he had reached at the exact moment the palm struck p.a.w.n in the chest.
His eyes started to turn blood red as he drew his sword and slashed towards that elder without any warning.
The elder saw all this and merely did another energy palm, to an expert of the middle stage Martial King like him, someone such as Nightin was merely an ant.
He had even released killing intent this attempt, he wouldn"t allow anyone weaker than him to offend him or challenge his authority.
But reality turned out to be a dream of his, his palm actually shattered as the slash continued on. With a quick movement, he dodged the attack as a thought flowed past his mind "Is he a youth with extraordinary combat skills or is he a old fogey who kept his young looks?"
Before he could ask anything, Nightin dashed towards him and attacked again with a stab. Left with no choice, he took out his personal chakram of the Royale tier as well and fought back.
In just a few breaths, the two already exchanged tens of moves in the air, to the spectators watching at the moment, they couldn"t believe their eyes.
A early stage Martial Lord was actually contending against a middle stage Martial King without showing any signs of losing, he was in fact even faster in the battle.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!!
The elder flew back as he barely blocked Nightin"s slash, if he didn"t block that in time, he would already be slashed down from his shoulder all the way.
Even so, it made his internal organs tumbled about as his face turned white, his blood was rampaging about his body as he quickly took out an healing elixir.
"Young lad, can we settle this peacefully." Another elder of the psychic sect appeared at this time, the first elder of the psychic sect who"s acknowledged to be even stronger than their sect master. Someone who"s infinitely close the Martial King completion stage.
Nightin stopped his tracks immediately, the person in front of him isn"t someone he can defeat even if he pulls out all the hidden aces he have up his sleeve.
With a slow exhale, clarity returned to his eyes and his breathing calmed down gradually. "I won"t allow him to get away scot free without paying the price he should."
The first elder smiled and said "I understand your intentions young fellow, but I have an alternative situation. Will you kindly listen about my current idea?"
Before Nightin could reply, he took out a talisman and cut off all their connection to the outside world, besides the Emperor who rules this kingdom, no one would be able to invade through. As for the Emperor himself, he wouldn"t do anything such as eavesdropping on them.
The elder on the outside swore to himself "I"ll make sure I take your life no matter what!"
Turning his body around, he flew off into the horizon and left. After all that, it would be a miracle if he still had the face to stay around.
Swoosh
