Sherry intercepted the person with spear. That person was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Sherry. But He was able to react, albeit barely. He blocked Sherry's fangs with his spear. Sherry didn't stop there, she threw her paw to one of his hands, specifically his left hand. He used both of his hands to grab his spear so he can block Sherry's fangs, in other words, both of his hands were vulnerable at this time.
As you had expected from a Spirit Beast, Sherry's strength alone was very strong. The moment her paw touched his hands, it broke his bone. The spear user retreated a few steps back and checked his hand, not only his bone was broken, but his hand was charred too. In other words, Sherry also channeled her fire energy in that paw attacks. He looked at Sherry hatefully but carefully. He knew at this moment, 'This beast is strong.'
In the meantime, Alex's Seven Stars Cut made its way toward the sword user. The sword user clenched his sword and swung it. Suddenly, a sword projectile made its way to intercept his Seven Stars Cut.
"Haha, Do you think this puny sword wave can kill me? Take my attack. This is my High Profound Tier Arts, Sword Interception" The sword user laughed.
Alex only shook his head, "Fool."
High Profound Tier Arts was good, but can it stand in the way of Heaven Tier Arts? They were separated by Earth Tier. Even though Alex's Seven Stars Cut hadn't revealed its full potential, but to destroy this High Profound Tier Arts, it was enough.
The moment the Sword Arts clashed, the sword user expected his sword to penetrate Alex's sword wave and continued flying toward Alex. But what happened was otherwise, Alex's Sword Wave cut his sword projectile and made its way toward him. The speed was fast, he tried to dodge the attack. Unfortunately, because of him, underestimating Alex, this clash took his entire left hand. He just barely saved his life.
"Flash Step" Alex didn't stop there, he needs to kill these people quickly, if not, the others might notice. If they were surrounded by five of them, he would be put under a bad situation and will be forced to call Anna.
Back to Sherry, she charged toward the spear user in front of her using her big body. From the spear user's point of view, what she did was reckless. The spear user thrust his spear at Sherry.
"Cursed Slash"
The spear suddenly let out a dark and creepy aura. The spear looked like it was thrusting Sherry. "Haha, this Cursed Slash will curse you and make you won't be able to use the Spiritual Energy. This is the power of our Cult. Taste its power."
But suddenly, the moment Sherry almost got thrust by the spear. Her body shrunk to her usual small and cute form. The spear user was taken aback by this sudden transformation. He didn't know Sherry can do this, after all, the moment she appeared, she was already in her big form. After the big target disappeared, leaving a small target to thrust. His spear completely missed her.
Sherry flew toward him and trying to kick him. Flame appeared in her foot. Sherry kicked it on his left cheek. It was like slapped with a hot iron pan. His cheek was burned by the flame, and Sherry's kick also blew him away. Sherry's fire suddenly spread to all of his face.
"Argh!" He screamed in pain. His face was charred black by the flame in a span of a few seconds. "You...you damn beast."
Sherry looked at his face and got scared by it. "Wuu(Disgusting)"
She raised her paw, and many firebirds appeared above her. Bombarding the spear user with fire, and finally, he was burned to death.
Sherry crossed her arms and nodded satisfied, "Wuu (Mission Accomplished)"
...
Alex appeared in front of the sword user and swung his sword toward him.
"Immovable Step" He used this move to gather the strength enough to kill him, he also applied the sword intent in his sword.
The sword user was blown by Alex, and he crashed to the wall. His sword was broken by the clash just now. Alex appeared again, not letting him had a chance to recover, Alex thrust his sword to the sword user's heart. He spat blood.
"Curse you. I'm only buying time all this time. You... ill... be... killed... by... them"
And as he said that, the other three Alex had seen when he entered this place with his Spirit Eyes came in. Upon seeing their comrades were killed by Alex and Sherry, they were enraged and pulled their weapon. "You Bastard"
Alex only gave them a glance before turning back to the sword user and pulled his sword out. He swung his sword once to throw away the blood on his sword. Sherry regrouped with him. Alex only said, "Sherry, we won't use the same tactic, you kill those two 9-Star Martial Master. As for the 1-Star Grandmaster, leave him to me."
"Wuu (Understood)"
Alex raised his hand, and fifteen swords appeared behind him. He was using the Sword Art that he learned from Song Yu, Omnislash. But a normal Omnislash can only release ten swords, but Alex released fifteen swords. The other five swords were from Desolation.
Sherry also did the same. She raised her paw, and twenty firebirds appeared above her. Alex and Sherry pointed their hand toward the cult members at the same time. Without further ado, all of those attacks immediately plunged toward those three people. Alex's fifteen swords were targeting the 1-Star Grandmaster Stage while Sherry's firebirds split up to two. Each person will get plunged by ten firebirds.
They had seen the charred person, lying lifelessly on the floor. Since Sherry was the only one who used fire, that means it was her deed. They can't let the fire touched them. If not, the consequences would be the same as their comrade. They retreated a bit to get their distance from the firebirds. But they didn't realize they were also targeted by the swords, and the firebirds suddenly changed their direction.
Alex's Desolation was weaker than his Omnislash. That's why Alex made his Desolation in front, as their vanguard. The Grandmaster rank suddenly raised his giant ax and swung it to the ground.
"Grand Earth Slam"
Suddenly a few Earth Walls rose from the ground in succession. It was trying to block the swords and let it be destroyed by the wall. It took three swords, but all of it came from his Desolation, so no big deal. Alex's target wasn't him, after all. This move was only helping him to go to his real target.
Ten swords suddenly changed their direction, leaving only two 'Desolation' swords charging to the 1-Star Martial Grandmaster. The rest were coming to the other two people. When they took their distance from Sherry's firebirds, those two had completely forgotten about Alex's existence. Because of his 7-Star Martial Master cultivation stage that looked meager in front of 1-Star Martial Grandmaster. They completely focused on Sherry's attacks.
"Ice Wall"
"Curse Perfection"
Both of them were using their Arts to block those firebirds. The first one used his ice element to build a gigantic wall to block it. The other one using cult art to enhance the ice wall. The Ice Wall suddenly covered by a dark aura. It felt like it would melt the firebirds if they came to it. But to their surprise, there was no sign about the firebirds. They suddenly saw the firebirds changed its direction. And their target was the Martial Grandmaster. Unfortunately, they didn't only see the firebirds, changing its direction, but they also saw Alex's swords almost reached them.
"Ice..."
"Curse..."
They hadn't finished using their technique before Alex's sword plunged them to death. It was a bit brutal, considering each of them had five swords stabbed them.
Alex had said they were not going to have the same tactic. When they first fought with the first two, Alex and Sherry fought their respective opponent. But because they won't have the same tactic, that means, when Alex said Sherry need to fight with those two 9-Star Martial Master and Alex fought with the Martial Grandmaster. It was the opposite. Their bond was far from that. They can understand what each other's thinking just from a slight use of words. Ultimately, Alex's swords plunged those two 9-Star Martial Masters to death while Sherry made an ambush to the Martial Grandmaster.
But Martial Grandmaster was more than that. After he destroyed Alex's Desolation. He immediately noticed something wrong. He looked back and saw his comrades died, and the firebirds were coming to him. He immediately used the same technique.
"Grand Earth Slam"
Walls appeared in front of the firebirds and managed to destroy a few firebirds. The firebirds suddenly changed its direction and targeted the wall between the Grandmaster and Alex.
"Boom!"
A series of explosion was heard as the firebirds were crashing to the wall like a suicide bomber. It managed to destroy all the walls that separated him from Alex. Alex immediately charged toward the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster wasn't a fool to think such an ambush can surprise him. He turned back and focused on Alex.
Alex suddenly swung his sword down even though he hadn't reached him.
"Pentagram Slash"
Five streams of light were coming toward the Grandmaster. And with that, he finally realized who Alex was. "That is Four Direction Slash from Heavenly Sword Sect. You bastard from Heavenly Sword Sect, I will kill you."
He had fought with Heavenly Sword Sect disciple and utterly lost. He remembered this was the Sword Art that almost killed him back then. He practiced hard to destroy this Sword Art. Finally, he sent an attack and managed to destroy all four slashes.
That's right. It was indeed 'Four Direction Slash' from Heavenly Sword Sect. It was true before Alex met them. This Four Direction Slash wasn't the same as before. It sent one more slash as its name became 'Pentagram Slash', According to Alex's naming ability. The last stream of light took the Grandmaster by surprise.
"What the fifth one?"
The last slash managed to cut his right foot. He used his giant ax to balance his body while looking at Alex hatefully. "You...who are you? That was certainly Heavenly Sword Sect's Four Direction Slash. I have trained very hard just to break that technique. What is the last slash."
Alex didn't say anything. He swung his sword again, and another five slashes were charging at the Grandmaster. If he hadn't lost one of his feet. He might be able to block this attack completely. Unfortunately, He had lost his right foot, and because of his giant ax, it threw his balance off. Finally, Alex's Pentagram Slash managed to cut his left hand.
"Seven Stars Cut"
Without giving him any chance. Alex sent his three layers Seven Stars Cut to kill the Grandmaster. Alex didn't really like gore torture, he was fine by trapping them inside his illusion array and torture them to death. But it was impossible to use it at this moment since he might fight back. Alex then decided to kill him as soon as possible. After all, playing too much and leaving those blood splattered everywhere left a bad taste in his mouth.
But to his surprise, suddenly, the Grandmaster tossed his giant ax upward as he raised his hand.
"Blood Sacrifice, Blood Pill"
Suddenly screams were echoing the room. Alex was taken aback by the sudden screams, it was humans scream, he didn't understand what happened. He immediately activated his Spirit Eyes. There was massive blood and Spiritual Energy coming to the Grandmaster's Hand. Alex traced where it came from, and to his surprise, the energy came from the big lump of energy he saw the first time he entered this place. That big chunk of energy was actually a human. But it wasn't from one human, it was from many. Alex immediately understood what this guy had done. He was enraged.
When the blood pill congealed on his hand, the Grandmaster immediately swallowed the blood pill, and Spiritual Energy sparked from his body, and his appearance turned like a demon. Bloodshot eyes, long nails, and sharp fang. He blocked the Sword Wave with his giant ax.
"Gigant Stomp"
The ax was sparkling with red energy. It seemed coming from the blood pill he had swallowed just now. He destroyed Alex's Seven Stars Cut.
Alex sent another Seven Stars Cut. But this time, the Grandmaster stomped his ax to the ground. "Grand Earth Slam"
This time, the walls that rose from the ground were covered with blood red colored energy. It completely blocked Alex's Seven Stars Cut.
"You forced me to use this move. I will die after using this pill. So, I will bring you to hell with me. You won't be able to gain the upper hand after this. Because I have become far stronger."
His flame suddenly appeared and dancing around his body before it slowly moved to his sword and covering his sword perfectly. Alex swung his sword down.
"Sanguin Sword Art. Elemental Fifteen Slash"
After he swung his sword down. Others might think that was all. But Alex still not finished with it. Alex swung his sword once again.
"Elemental Seven Stars Cut"
Alex's Sanguin Sword Art showed its prestige. It cut the wall one by one, and finally, it exploded at the last wall. All the wall crumbled down with its might.
"What?"
His Seven Stars Cut flew through the air. Now that the obstacles were obliterated by the Sanguin Sword Art, there was only the Grandmaster on its way. He tried to block the Sword Wave with his giant ax but because of his lousy ax and Alex's overbearing Sword Wave along with his Sword Intent. The Seven Stars Cut flew through him and crashed to the wall behind him.
