Chapter 301: Tetragram Chariot Art: Starshoot Oblivion~

"Enough! You two! kill them!" shouted Saron.

Malik taunted the swordsman with his hand, "Come at me."

His towering figure was almost as twice as the swordsman but the size was not his ultimate forte. The bearing coming out of his body was igniting the killing intent of the swordsman as the latter immediately leaped forward with a single step. 

His eyes glint as he was under Malik's nose before the curved sword was swung against the latter's neck. "Die quietly."

Malik smirked as he pulled his neck, avoiding the fatal strike by a hair's breadth. He immediately furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance as he noticed one single hair of his beard was actually flying away from his chin. (....Fuck...) thought Malik before he raised his knee.

The swordsman raised his eyebrows before nimbly avoided it and letting out a thrust toward Malik's left chest. The former smirked as there was no way of avoiding such strike in a distance that close. However, Malik easily deflected the point of the thrust with a slap of his hand toward the sides of the curved sword. (He is fast!) thought the swordsman.

"Looks like the other has already started, how about if we start too?" asked the middle-aged man against Yoji.

"I think it would be wise if you refrain from attacking me," said Yoji with crossed arm.

The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows, "What do you mean?". 

"I mean every word, don't you realize what I'm capable of?" asked Yoji whose hair was fluttering. 

"Big words coming from a man with shabby clothes," smirked the middle-aged man.

Yoji laughed, "Your inexperience is showing itself you know."

"We will see who is the inexperience one, right now!" shouted the furious middle-aged man before he kicked the air and launched himself toward Yoji.

"Hmm?!"

He immediately turned sideways before avoiding Yoji completely. He was sweating profusely on his forehead as his heart skipped. He was panting as his pupils shrunken at the sight of his enemy. (Impossible, his cultivation level is...).

"Growing?!" muttered the middle-aged man.

"Heh, so you finally noticed, not bad from a middle-aged man such as yourself," sneered Yoji, though it was obvious that his real age was way older than him.

The middle-aged man gulped his saliva. He didn't get offended by the remarks anymore since he noticed something absurd. (How in the hell is his cultivation growing each second?). He never saw anything like it in his entire lifetime and now he must make a decision that will greatly determine his life. 

If he chose to fight Yoji then he will gain a significant amount of favorability from Saron. If he chose to back out, the reverse outcome will be a reality. He didn't believe that the chances of winning were slim however, winning is one thing and killing is another. If Yoji somehow survived his barrage of attacks, then vengeance will be kept his eyes woke at night.

"That's right, now move away," said Yoji as he approached Saron.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. However, he let the man passed him by without doing anything in the end. It was a hard decision to make but in the end, one's life was more important than a favor.

"What are you doing?! Stop him!" shouted Saron to the middle-aged man. The latter immediately turned around and cupped his hands in apology, "Apologies Saron, but I don't think that your service is enough for this occasion."

"W-what?!" exclaimed Saron. The middle-aged man didn't even call him with the usual 'Mr.' anymore but directly using his name. It was an indirect meaning that he would like to cut all ties with him.

"I'm sorry Saron, but I value my life more than what it is, you are not the only poison master in the Alchemy Union, farewell."

The middle-aged man pulled out a Returning Jade Stone before crushing it. The jade light enveloped his figure before compressing it into a tiny dot and shot toward the sky in a direction where he came from.

Saron stared in disbelief before Yoji's shadow was towering his figure. The latter crossed his arms before the final ruby light finally descended.

"Finally, it's my turn!" said Lyon as he leaped and stood before the red ruby light with crossed arms.

The red ruby light dissipated before revealing a man wearing a black robe. His back was as straight as a flagpole and both of his hands were clenched behind it. He had a handsome feature on his face and did not lack charisma on his bearing.

"What is it Saron, make it quick," said the man before he opened his eyes. His pupils gradually widen at the sight of the young man that stood in front of him.

"Thank God you're here!" said Saron in relief. The last man was the strongest of the three that he summoned. With him here, there was no way he would die under Yoji's hand.

He disregarded what Saron was saying as his priority suddenly change.

"You!" said the man as he glared at the unfazed young man in front of him. The massive killing intent behind the gaze was apparent but the one receiving it felt nothing at all. 

"What? You know me?" asked Lyon. He never ever met the guy before but he was glaring at him as if he slept with his sister.

(An old enemy from my past life perhaps?) thought Lyon before scrapping it. Considering the time, it would be impossible that an old enemy would recognize him without additional proofs.

"Ghghgh!"

Saron's neck was chocked by Yoji with ease. The difference between their cultivation and battle experience was far too wide for the former to do anything. The bulging eyes of the former darted from Yoji toward the man who disregarded his call. Not a single glance was given to him by the man that was facing Lyon.

"Do you know what kind of suffering did I endure to this day?" The deep voice brought the chill to Saron's soul as he could feel it being trapped by an eternal blizzard. He looked at Yoji's eyes whose killing intent was insurmountable. His identity of being a student in Alchemy Union brought the latter no faze. 

Saron could only let out a heavy breath after a heavy breath as both of his hands were holding Yoji's arm. He wanted to push it away but with their difference in power, his arm won't even budge.

Yoji gritted his teeth before he launched a fist toward his gut, slightly bending him inward as a cough of blood was inevitable.

"Guha!"

Yoji let go of the grip on Saron's neck before he grabbed him by the face. He flew as he dragged the figure toward the remaining ships. He swung him around before pushing the face against the deck.

*boom

He kept on pushing his face as it destroyed ships after ships nonstop. He was carrying him around the formation the army was in. Leaving not a single ship intact. Blood was flowing through Yoji's finger but the killing intent didn't subside.

"You want to take over my empire that much?! Then you can die with the palace! This is for what you've done to me!"

Yoji made a three-sixty before throwing Saron's figure against the old palace. The building was ultimately destroyed upon impact. His body was buried under the rubble. 

Covered by the thick debris, Saron's trembling fingers called out a Returning Jade Stone from his spatial ring. (Shit.. Shit... SHIT!! I will fucking kill you next time!) thought Saron before he put everything he had to destroy the stone.

Green jade light was enveloping his figure before he laughed with his broken face. Though he couldn't win right now, as long as he survived today, he would have another chance tomorrow.

"Hehehe, HAHAHAHA! You can't kill me Yoji! The next time we met, you will be on your deathbed before you even realized," shouted Saron as the jade light shot toward the sky.

Yoji smirked, "You think a Returning Jade Stone could stop me from ending you?"

*neigh

The Tetragram Chariot could understand the will of their master before Yoji jumped and stood on the reign. Every gallop was as intimidating as a single thunder and their speed was actually faster than the Returning Jade Stone flight speed.

"W-What?! No-no-no! Impossible!!" Saron shouted.

Who would have thought that a chariot that could catch up with Returning Jade Stone existed?

"This is your end!" shouted Yoji.

"Tetragram Chariot art: Starshoot Oblivion!"

The gem on the chariot lit up before the chariot its self flashed forward with the speed of the star.

"No! NOOO!!" shouted Saron as his body was disintegrated along with the flash of light.

The jade light was broken with a boom that shook the world before the chariot stopped.

Yoji turned around and saw a wide cracked open space that revealed the spatial storm inside.

"Hmph!" Yoji crossed his arms as nature started to heal the open wound that he made from the technique.
