*Woosh*
"Is it done?" A high pitched voice came behind Elder Kong. It was extremely high pitched to the point of sounding like a shriek.
"Yes, I used the Dragon Root Poison on him. Even cultivators of 5th Nascent stage can't survive that. He is as good as dead." Elder Kong said severe manner. Even though his tone was unpleasantly rough, he had a slight hint of nervousness and fear in his heart. It seemed like he was scared by the person behind the voice.
"Hmm, Dragon Root Poison you say.Hehehe" The voice replied creepily after hearing what Elder Kong mentioned.
Elder Kong slowly turned around towards the source of the voice.
It was precisely the Imp that Zhu Long had detected when he got close to the Fortress. The Imp was short and thin. It's skin was blood red and it's tail was as long as it's body. The Imp also had two horns but one of them seemed to be broken. It also had many scars on its body. It's Wings were large but also many holes within them.
It seemed like the Imp had gone through tortuous and bloody battles in its life as it also had a very evil and bloody aura around it.
When Elder Kong saw the Imp, he shuddered in fear. The Imp was more powerful than him and could kill his easily. He nervously looked at the Imp and said," I did what you told me to. That is the last human I will kill. Now please let them live, they have nothing to do with you. Please!"
As soon as the Imp heard Elder Kong plead, he smiled and responded," Hehehe. You have done good, this individual would be a hassle for our young master in the future. Don't worry, your people are safe. But, I don't think that this will be the last human you'll be killing. Your Master is still in our hands. Hehehe"
The Imps' laughter were eerie and extremely creepy and sent shivers to anyone that heard it.
Elder Kong's smile broke, he looked lost like his soul has left his body. He had never felt so lost in his life. There was too much blood on his hands already, and to think he'll be adding more to his list. It was all because of this Imp and his Young Master.
'I....I only have one hope now. Life is really cruel.' Elder Kong smiled bitterly.
"Hmm? Why are you smiling? Is there anything that you find humorous?" The Imp inquired finding Elder Kong's smile strange and meaningful. It was like something didn't make sense then suddenly a thought popped into him mind but it was too late. Elder Kong had already made his move.
The Imp was in complete shock in what had beholden before him.
"You..You are burning your meridians! But that sudden burst of power is no match for me." The Imp yelled as he jumped towards Elder Kong.
"I really don't care now!" Elder Kong retaliated as he grabbed his saber and leaped towards the imp.
"Death of a Thousand Cuts!"
Both unleashed their strongest attacks. The ground was shaken due to the impact between Elder Kong and The Imp. The roof of the fortress burst open and the wall all exploded.
*swoosh*
An arm flew into the sky.
"See, you are still of no match to me." The Imp roared, but suddenly he coughed blood. It seemed like both were severely damaged but Elder Kong was worse off.
The Imp pointed it's claws towards Elder Kong and flew as fast as he could to kill him.
"You are dead!" He yelled.
But suddenly, everything seemed to be quiet for the Imp. The world seemed to be moving much slower than usual. As the imp was flying towards Elder Kong, a strange and Demonic aura spread all over the Fortress. The Imp suddenly felt like it's life was in threat. He tried to retreat but was too late. As he had been blown to smithereens. All of his body parts were splattered all over the walls of the Fortress. The beautiful ancient stone walls were covered in crimson red. The stain of blood splashed everywhere, the place felt eerie with all the blood almost as if the sky was crying in reddish droplet.
His head flew up towards the sky. During that split second of the Imp having consciousness, all he felt was pain all over his body. His body had been blown up but a single punch. His eyes gazed towards the place that he was situated and stood in front of him was a young man in a black gi. His eyes were bloody red and his aura was the most Demonic and Evil aura that the Imp had ever felt in his life.
'I lost. I had been fooled by that bastard Kong. The Dragon Root Poison only makes a cultivator sleepy for a small time not kill them. I was the foolish one. And now, I died due to my own foolishness. If only I had one more chance, I would have at least informed the young master to not underestimate this man but... now, all I can do is apologize.' The Imp's life flashed in his eyes. His childhood, all of his brutal battles, all the people he had killed, everything felt too unreal.
A sudden burst of regret came into his eyes, everything ended too soon. He didn't even get to finish off Elder Kong.

"That was the end of him, he was too easy anyways, nothing compared to the puppets that Evil Old Yang had used to train me." Zhu Long said in a deep and cold voice. His robe fluttering in the air and his eyes glowing crimson red. His clothes covered in the blood of the Imp but his face had no expression like he wasn't bothered by what happened. Zhu Long looked like a true god of war.
Zhu Long expressionlessly observed his surroundings and leaped towards Elder Kong who was lying on the ground, soaked by his own blood. He had lost one arm and was bleeding out. He gazed soften towards Elder Kong for he was truly pitiful.
