Chapter 410 - Clash(Part-5)

Zywia looked at Ryuu with her eyes wide, 'So this what mother and father said about standing by Pangu's side you feel invincible, is it the same in Ryuu's case but why do I not see the rumoured silhouette? Do not tell me this is his strength without the use of his Divine Body.'

What Zywia did not know was that Ryuu was indeed using his Divine Body, but he had over the years managed to control it as much as possible, when he was younger he would rely on it too often for his current self's liking as such he had worked hard to not become addictive to it and had managed to do so, but even after all the Divine Body his body as such how he could completely disregard it or turn it off, and it was only because of his mask that his companions were not able to see the torn pupil that he now sported.

Ryuu knew that by quality and quantity he far surpassed his opponent after all his opponent was still a 9th rank Mystic Immortal Cultivator, whereas he was a step above, well he would have been two steps above him if only he could break the barrier that separated him from reaching the 11th rank, but he also knew that as his teacher always said that given a chance even a toddler can kill an Immortal.

Zikris growled before he charged forward only for him to jump up as an army of swords charged at him with intent to skewer him, but he was not safe as he had to with great difficulty dodge the hail of spears, but he was unsuccessful as he received a few gnash on his body making him growl in pain and anger but he was not allowed to rest as Ryuu was already on top of him as more and more wounds appeared on his body.

Jethrar sat beside Ithrura as he viewed the entire fight from a distance as he spoke, "That scrying ball of yours is amazing."

Ithrura narrowed her eyes as she spoke, "He is good, but nothing exceptional so why is his bounty so high?"

Jethrar drank from his goblet as he spoke, "Well he killed some very important people with an important background so I have been told but looks can be deceiving, not to mention I have never heard that he uses a spear."

Ithrura bit her lips as she spoke, "Many cultivators would be jealous of him, those attacks look like Dao based."

Jethrar nodded at that as he spoke, "They do not look like Dao based, they are Dao based, and to have such talent well he will make a fine addition to my collection."

Ithrura nodded at that as she spoke, "Do you think you can win against him?"

Jethrar snorted at that as he spoke looking towards Ithrura, "With my hands tied behind my back."

Ithrura simply stared at him before she spoke with a shake of her head, "You do not use your hands but those corps…..", she looked at the orb with her eyes wide and seeing her stunning look Jethrar looked towards the orb as he widens as well.

The reason for their stunned expression was no one else but Ryuu, who was looking not only directed towards them but waving as well, before he blew a flying kiss rather brazenly as bow appeared in his hand and the last thing they saw was him aiming towards them followed by a bright flash as the orb cracked.

Jethrar blinked owlishly as he spoke, "What happened?"

"He detected us, how did he detect us?", then the orb they were using fell apart, as Ithrura held her head as she screamed in anger, "Damn it, it was a loaned to me by my elder Martial sister what will I tell her now.", while Jethrar simply laughed at her misfortune.

A few minutes ago Elmer tilted his head as he looked at Ryuu confused as he spoke with a frown on his face, "Huh, why did he stop?"

Their confusion deepened even more as they watched Ryuu turn his back towards his enemy as Zywia shouted out in alarm, "What is he doing? Why is turning his back towards his enemy? Did the enemy use illusion or something like that?"

Her words made many of the cultivators to feel a sense of dread as Frost Flames spoke with a snarl, "Enough is enough I am going to help him.", seeing him waving and sending a flying kiss towards the empty sky was more than enough but before she or any other could ask anything Ryuu fired a hail of arrows towards a certain spot in the air overlooking the battlefield, the arrows seemed to have struck a pane of glass which shattered and disappeared soon after.

True-Spear frowned at that as he spoke, "What was that it looked like some form of glass?"

"It is no glass True-Spear.", Shivering Saber spoke with distaste in his voice, "That was someone spying on us."

"Damn them, that means this is a tra…..", whatever he was going to say was stopped as it seemed a storm had descended in the area, "RUN!!!!", a shout came from someone as every cultivator as they hastily moved away from the centre of the storm, a storm of fire, sword, spear, ice and poison.

Ryuu had just finished dealing with the spying tool when Zikris attacked him from behind, he blocked using the body of the spear, before he began his assault, he knew that the current him cannot keep up for a long time as such he would have to make it big and fast, extremely fast.

To Ryuu it felt as if he was fighting a mindless beast, he enjoyed a bit of banter during a fight but fighting against someone who only roared and screamed 'die', well he did not like it, 'Now to block the view.'

Zikris was always proud of his body he had worked hard to make it impenetrable, and he had managed to make it to the point that he had managed to survive a single blow from peak level Celestial, his blood was so acidic that according to him it would melt anything and everything that comes in contact with his blood.

His vision was engulfed in searing heat, but his black flames made it bearable for him, he was covered in ice and again the flames melted them, but then he was electrocuted and it made his muscles spasm, his nerve to be frayed, but he did not stop he was like an unstoppable killing machine.

Ryuu knew that by using all the elemental Dao he would be able to obstruct the view as such even if he was forced to use his Divine body they would not be able to see him, as such he rained barrages upon barrages of weapon strike on Zikris's body, while evading any attempts on Zikris's behalf to even touch, but at the same time he was not making any significant damage, even the smallest of cuts had yet to appear.

'I have to finish it fast, I have to hit him harder, with more POWER!!!', Ryuu yelled inside his head as he pushed himself to the limit, his muscles burned and protested but he did not stop he would have to kill the enemy in front of him and he did not wish to employ his Divine Body to do so.

"MOVE!!!!!", a shout came as large swords appeared from the storm of elements cutting deep gorges on the land.

"What is he thinking?, an irritated yet fearful shout came from Devaraj as he dodged the large sword attacks, attacks that were pure Sword Force, the pressure generated itself seemed to cut the air in half as an unstoppable gargantuan being seemed to cleave the land using sword making every cultivators' heartbeat increase in fear and anticipation.

A loud explosion followed, as a burning body shot out as it bounced on the ground and finally stopping, it then tried to make the futile attempt to but it proved to be difficult without its legs and hand, and then all of a sudden a smaller figure appeared directly on top of it, as the figure landed on top of the still-burning figure a sickening crunch was heard while the fire was snuffed out.

As everyone got a good look at the figures a few of them had the eyes widen slightly as the Deva realm cultivators gawked in disbelief, as they saw the squirming figure of what used to Zikris inside a small crater which had formed after Ryuu landed on top him breaking his back, and then a swift swing of his sword separated Zikris's head from his body killing him.

As Ryuu turned around to leave the fire had been snuffed out roared back once again as it started to consume Ryuu's prey, while he removed his mask a small smile blossomed on his face as he spoke, "Well since there is nothing left for us to do, let us move on to our new base where I would wish to take a nap, after all meditating for so long made my back feel a bit stiff."

Elmer could not stay calm any longer as he spoke, "How? How did manage to kill him, I remember distinctly how he shrugged off any attacks that was dealt on him, I remember him crushing my brethren with his bare hands, and yet here are you not only burned the person who was surrounded by fire but also seemed to cut off his arms."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Well we can do twenty questions later, as there is a chance that others might come here searching for him and I do not think you all would want to pick a fight with more of their soldiers."

They send one last look towards the deceased body that was almost ash by then and another look at the still burning and freezing crater, which had electrical anomaly appearing at random, truly a scene depicted from some form cataclysmic event, not to mention the gouges all around before they all left towards their new home without a word.
