"I will say it again. All of you will die in this place." Alex said as he looked at the soldiers with a cold gaze.
Alex raised his hand as a giant phoenix appeared above his hand.
"Cry!" The phoenix let out a sound that alarmed every soldier on the battlefield.
There were suddenly two pairs of giant wings on Alex's back. The wings were like Kyle's but more exquisite. The wings were made up of translucent red feathers. With the phoenix above his head, he was like the incarnation of Phoenix king.
"Fire Phoenix Art, Third Stage. Phoenix Wing."
Alex then flapped his wings before many feathers flew toward the soldiers. They flew like Alex's firebirds but more powerful.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
"Ah!"
"Attack him!"
"Kill him!"
"He had cut both of our crown prince's arms. Hurry up and kill him."
"But, his highness is…"
"Even if we don't do anything, he will kill us! We need to kill him before he can kill us."
"Attack."
Alex made the phoenix fly toward the soldiers and made a huge explosion. Luckily, this huge explosion did not manage to alarm the other battlefield. If not, there would be more coming this way.
Alex used this explosion as a diversion. He immediately made a teleportation array and teleported him to his previous position.
When he appeared, no one managed to notice him yet as he already retracted his Fire Wings. He looked at one of the Martial Lords that was fighting Anna.
He raised his spear. The twin intent started covering the spear with its power, and even his fire suddenly blazed on the spear blade. Alex took a deep breath before throwing it.
"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing!"
The moment he threw the spear, those two Martial Lords immediately noticed it. They felt the sharpness from Alex's Intent and flame. And the spear was flying toward one of them at a fast speed. The targeted person immediately turned around.
"Not good! Hah!" He swung his sword as hard as he could to block or at least to deflect it away from him. Sadly, they never expected Alex to come back to this place. Because of that carelessness, they did not have a chance to use their skill. If not, they could block this spear easily even with Alex's Twin Intent and Fire. After all, Alex was still a 2-Star Martial Lord, whereas they were 7-Star Martial Lord. The gap was too big.
"Hah!" The Martial Lord tried his best to block this spear. And because the spear was spinning, the piercing power was even greater. And the conclusion suddenly arrived where the sword he used suddenly broke.
"Not good!" The Martial Lord could only be shocked as the moment the spear broke his sword, it continued flying toward his heart and pierced it like nothing.
"Sun!" The other Martial Lord was shocked that his friend died in a single attack that they should be able to block. He shouted, "How dare you ambush us!"
At that time, Anna smiled coldly as she swung her scythe toward him. "Dark Cut!"
"What, you!" The Martial Lord just forgot about her in a split second because of Alex's appearance. Anna's attack already arrived on his neck. It was like Anna and Alex could know what each other was thinking without even saying anything.
"Two guys that tried to bully a woman who has a lower cultivation had no right to talk like that," Alex said coldly as he looked at the flying head.
He did not rest or talk to Anna as he came toward Leoz.
"Ha!" Leoz was engaging Oliver with a high swordsmanship. Their sword was clashing a few hundred rounds in just a minute. But Oliver suddenly felt a pain on his chest… No, it is not on his chest alone, all the fire energy in his body was forcefully suppressed from the outside.
When he turned around, he saw Alex using his Fire again to suppress him. He knew the threat of Pure Fire Element, especially to the sect that was full of Fire Element users. He needed to kill Alex in this place. If not, Alex would become the nightmare of Mount Hua Sect. However, he could not picture himself in doing that.
Leoz already swung his giant sword. Oliver blocked it with his sword, but suddenly, he dodged to the side and felt pain on his back.
It turned out Anna approached him from behind and tried to kill him with her scythe. And Alex also did not realize that Anna already showed her wings. This only meant one thing. Anna had used her True Spirit Body.
"This is not fair. How dare you to roach upon this sacred duel!" Oliver said.
"…" Alex, Anna, and Leoz were dumbfounded when they heard that.
"-Said a person that came with three thousand soldiers," Alex said.
"Bahahaha!" Anna was laughing so hard.
"Should I develop this kind of shamelessness too?" Alex asked Anna and Leoz.
"No!" Both of them answered at the same time.
Alex paused a little before he shrugged his shoulder. "Good enough. Leoz, Kill him."
"Understood!" Leoz charged toward him again and swung his big sword.
"Hmph, you only succeeded to wound me because of that sneak attack. Since I already prepared, you won't be able to make another surprise attack! Even his Pure Fire won't be able to restrict me!"
"Yeah, but that sneak attack is all we need to bring you down." Leoz roared.
"What do-!" Before Oliver finished his words, he felt his reaction was a bit sluggish.
Anna only smiled as she said, "Tri Xeta."
That little wound was all they needed to kill Oliver. With Anna's Tri Xeta that immediately lowered Oliver's reaction speed, Leoz shifted his sword a little bit to avoid Oliver's sword before cutting him down.
"Ha!"
"Impossible!" Oliver muttered his last word before falling to the ground and died.
The people were shocked when they saw Oliver, who was the strongest, died just like that. No, in fact, all of the Martial Lords in their rank had already died, except the crown prince. Unfortunately, even the crown prince was already incapacitated by Alex.
So, there were only around less than two thousand soldiers left to defeat these devils. A portion of soldiers had dropped their weapons and fell to their knees. Even though they still had more than a thousand, they already saw their enemies' power, especially Alex, that struck a deep fear in their hearts.
"This is impossible."
"How can we defeat all of them?"
"We are only Martial Grandmasters."
With the people that were suppressed by Alex's fire as well as the people that already gave up on this fight, it managed to influence many soldiers. When Alex saw that, he realized that almost half of them had given up on this. Sadly, Alex never considered sparing their life.
There were two reasons. First was because they tried to kill him. Even though it was the order from the crown prince, the fact that they wanted to kill remained the same. And Alex was not the one who would spare the like of them as it was related to the second reason.
He did not want them to tell the tale about his power. Even if they told him they would not tell anyone about his power. There was no guarantee about that. In fact, if they really begged his life like that, he truly could not believe them.
If their lives were threatened by others once again, they would immediately tell away his secret. So, these three thousand soldiers already fated to die in this place. Even his System did not say anything about this.
After all, they could only be considered innocent people when they did not participate in this, whether directly or indirectly. And they had participated in the banner of the crown prince.
Alex looked at Anna, who nodded her head. Suddenly, a flock of butterflies filled the battlefield. There were around a hundred butterflies, and each of them flew toward a soldier.
"What is this?"
"Butterfly?"
"Wait? Why is their wing similar to that woman?"
"Don't tell me…"
When they realized that, it was already too late as the butterfly exploded and invaded their minds.
"Argh!"
Screams filled the battlefield as people slowly fell down to the ground while clutching their heads like they were in pain. Anna slowly controlled their mind.
And suddenly, the soldiers took out their weapon and pierced their own heart one by one. When the others saw that, they were too shocked. They did not know what just happened.
They were thinking about running for their lives, but Alex also knew they might do something like that. He immediately looked at Leoz, "You cover the right side, and I will cover the left side. We can't let even one of them go."
Leoz nodded and disappeared immediately. Because his energy was already back to the full again, Leoz suddenly made the first move that he used to make a way.
"Thunder Spirit Slash!"
The huge thunder slash immediately alarmed the entire battlefield. The sword wave made a huge and deep line on the ground.
Leoz then appeared behind that line and said, "Those who dare to cross this line will die."
Alex also did the same. He used his Seven Stars Cut to make a long line. However, he was not like Leoz. If Leoz sent a warning, Alex was not.
"Fire Phoenix Art. Phoenix Wing."
He immediately used his Fire Phoenix Art and started shooting at people.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
The army was already surrounded by Anna from the front, Alex and Leoz from the side, as well as Anya's group from behind. The only thing awaited them was death.
"Run! Run for your life!"
"Escape. He won't be able to chase all of us."
"Run in all directions!"
The soldiers seemed to make their last struggle. Alex was frowning as he was trying to shoot them down one by one. Killing a soldier that was only thinking about running was easy. But killing a few hundred if not thousands that tried running at the same time…
He tried to look around to see if he could do something to stall them. Because he did not have time, he could not set up an Array to trap all of them here. He could see that the soldiers were trying to run in his, Leoz's, and Anna's direction since there were many people in the back.
However, at that particular time,
"Boom Boom Boom!" A series of explosions were heard from Anna's direction.
When Alex looked at her direction, he saw Sherry's in her original form, using her firebirds to help Anna. "Wuu!"
"Haha, My Master wants all of you to die. So, no one will be able to see another day!" Coming to his side was Jeanne. It was true that Jeanne would be the one who suited this situation the most. She killed the soldiers at lightning speed.
But Leoz had none. Just when he thought about that, Alex could see a pink-haired woman appear beside Leoz. She was gripping a couple of needles in her hands and shot the soldiers one by one.
It was Nicole. As a spy, she was scouting the area continuously to make sure they had no reinforcement. But when she saw this situation, she decided to change a job from a spy to an Assassin. And since the soldiers did not have any will to fight, she could kill them easily with her needles.
"Fufu, there is no reinforcement that will come to their aid, so we will be fine after we kill all of them," Nicole said.
Finally, the stage had been set. Alex's group kills the soldiers one by one. There were a few soldiers that tried to fight him, but they were down in a single slash. It was not a fight anymore. Instead, it was like an Annihilation.
Until finally, a few minutes later…
