On the other side, two outstanding women with voluptuous figures stood within the ancient forest.
One of them was older but there were no signs of aging on her face. Instead, she gave off a mature and charming aura from head to toe.
The other was dressed in a long pink dress and wore a veil, looking like she was a young girl.
"Mother dearest, since that man hasn't shown himself yet, I suppose he must have already left and is no longer or perhaps never was at the Azure Myst Sect," The girl in pink said with joy.
The two of them were the previous and current Holy Maidens of the Pure Maidens Sect, the mother of the current one, Sia Dewa, and the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects, Sylvie Dewa.
"That had better be the case. Given the circumstances, he would die for sure if he appeared!"
Sia Dewa's expression was unchanged. "The Demon Crow Clan's Lord is someone who has surpassed the limits of mortality and became a quasi-divine being and is one of the strongest creatures on this world!"
Let alone the patriarch of our sect, even those of the top, most powerful sects would be cautious and not want to provoke any of these monstrous beings."
Sylvie Dewa shook her head. "That's not for sure. I know of someone who definitely fears nothing."
Pausing for a moment, Sylvie Dewa tugged at her mother's sleeves and asked, "Mother Dearest, haven't you sent the message yet? What did that senior say?"
"What can he say?"
Sylvie Dewa pouted her lips. "He is cold and merciless. When he heard my message, he didn't even have any reaction mentally. Don't pin your hopes on him."
…
At Azure Myst Sect, the battle was intensifying.
On the Martial Grandmaster battlefield, Sect Master Lian Liu was already at perfected Martial Grandmaster realm and was a step away from stepping through the limits of the mortal world. With her terrifying combat strength, she fought at the front and held on bitterly.
It was a complete defeat for the Martial Master and Martial Knight battlefields!
Nora Zell was exhausted and frightfully pale. Lying on little bird, it was difficult for her to recover in a short period of time.
The Martial Knight martial artists of the Demon Crow Clan and the other four major sects charged over like a relentless torrent, rushing at the Azure Myst Sect Martial Knight faction repeatedly.
During this period of time, some of the smaller sects and itinerant martial artists of the surrounding areas seized the opportunity to take part in the battlefield, ready to take advantage of the situation as well.
Without Nora Zell, the Azure Myst Sect Martial Knight martial artists were retreating repeatedly, leaving behind a trail of corpses.
Blood flowed like a river and it was extremely tragic!
The situation on the Martial Master battlefield was even more pressing!
The Martial Masters of Azure Myst Sect were dying repeatedly.
True Fire Sect's Sezud Nida controlled four flaming flying swords that streaked through the crowd endlessly, leaving streams of scorching sword force.
"Where's that little b*stard, Aiden? Are you still going to continue hiding?" Now that the outcome was set, Sezud Nida roared in laughter gleefully.
Martial Master John Sharl controlled his flying sword and his long, narrow eyes shone with a cold glint. "The entire Azure Myst Sect will have to die together just for the sake of a Martial Knight martial artist, Aiden!"
His remark caused the Azure Myst Sect faction which was already getting defeated steadily to turn even messier.
"To hell with you!"
The disheveled old man had a fiery temper and cursed.
However, immediately after, his slight distraction caused him to suffer a gash on the wound from Martial Master John Sharl and blood flowed like a stream.
"Fufu, open your eyes properly and take a look, old man!"
Martial Master John Sharl pointed at the Martial Knight battlefield beneath their feet and sneered contemptuously. "Azure Myst Sect's Martial Knight martial artists are almost completely dead!"
Following his gaze, the disheveled old man's heart skipped a beat.
On the ground, Nora Zell's group of Martial Knights retreated step after step and were already at the base of the mountain.
Of the initial two thousand Martial Knight martial artists, there were only a few hundred left battling bitterly right now.
All of the disciples carried heavy injuries and panted heavily. It was clear that they were almost at their limits.
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*
Right then, ten streaks of dark light shot forward from the back of the mountain, sending forth a shuddering impact.
As the ten dark lights streaked through, a terrifying air current surged and smashed the tiles on the ground. The mud was overturned and ten long ravines were formed!
Fast as lightning, a certain gray-robed martial artist surged over with murderous intent. Large, scaled and sharp boney-leathery draconic wings spread out from his back, his large, thick ebony claws reflected the vague afternoon light and exuded a torrential aura!
The ten dark lights of aetheric energy arrived instantly and shot into the crowd viciously.
*Poof!* *Poof!* *Poof!*
Flashes of blood appeared.
The ten dark beams of light were so strong that their momentums were still ferocious even after penetrating the bodies of more than ten martial artists. They seemed to be utterly unstoppable!
The terrifying power of the dark lights even surged through some of the martial artists after passing through them, causing them to explode with their limbs flying everywhere!
All the Azure Myst Sect martial artists witnessed the massive torrent formed by more than 20,000 Martial Knight martial artists stop just because of ten dark lights that were streaking through!
Within the torrent, there were ten lines filled with countless corpses and endless blood!
The martial artists of Demon Crow Clan, the other four major sects, and multiple small sects had swarmed over. Coupled with itinerant martial artists from all over the place, they were way too densely packed.
The ten dark lights were extremely lethal.
There were at least a few hundred Martial Knight martial artists who died on the spot!
With more than several tens of thousands of martial artists on the Demon Crow Clan's faction, the few hundred dead Martial Knight martial artists could not be considered as a great amount of damage.
However, it created a trauma within everyone's hearts.
"It's him! It's Aiden!"
Someone with a keen eye exclaimed upon recognizing the identity of the gray-robed martial artist.
"No wonder the dark lights were so terrifyingly lethal. Hurry, look! The bow in his hand is a perfect spirit weapon!"
"Indeed!"
Many Martial Knight martial artists were jealous and were raring to give it a shot.
They had heard long ago that Aiden was the one who received the inheritance of the Sword Emperor as well as gained incredible benefits and opportunities from the Ancient One's Palace! One couldn't help but think about the storage bag hanging on his side and think that the lousiest weapons inside it had to be at least supreme-grade artifact weapons. In fact, he must even have possessed perfect artifact treasures!
The rumors had to be true!
"Hmm?"
Many Martial Masters turned to look from the Martial Master battlefield.
Only just a few short weeks of time, Aiden had made a name for himself and how could anyone not know or have not heard of the title of the number one powerhouse amongst the younger generation of the world? The best and strongest amongst the world's paragons!
True Fire Sect's Sezud Nida's eyes lit up as he roared in laughter. Their sect was primarily focused on forging and enhancing artifact weapons.
"Good, good! Aiden, you've got guts to appear! I'll have you tell me all your secrets!"
Martial Master John Sharl's long, narrow eyes were locked on Aiden. Looking down from above, he sneered, "Aiden, so what if you managed to join the Azure Myst Sect? You still can't escape death!"
Aiden's gaze was indifferent as he stood in midair and surveyed the surroundings. His gaze seemed to contain an enormous might that could overwhelm and overpower everything!
The taunting words and jibes from those two old bastards have not even managed to elicit a flicker of emotions from him. To him, they were mere ants, scraping at the tiger's paws in desperation.
The Martial Knight martial artists on the side of Demon Crow Clan felt their hearts clench when they met with Aiden's eyes.
That person gave off a frightening aura.
That was an aura that was built from endless bloodshed and countless corpses!
In the ancient battlefield, even many paragons of the immortal, Buddhist, and fiend cultivation sects died in his hands. Since the strongest martial artists here were only at level six of the Martial Knight realm at best, none of them could withstand Aiden's aura!
When he saw the corpses of Azure Myst Sect disciples on the ground, Aiden's killing intent spewed out of his eyes. His golden luster swiftly became fused with an eerily tinted scarlet.
"Die!"
Suddenly several large thick-bladed weapons appeared around him floating and swirling around his figure after his emotional exclamation.
However, all of them disappeared in the blink of an eye, forming ripples in the void, as though fishes were gliding through water.
"Not good!"
"That's one of the legendary skills of the Sword Emperor!"
"Everyone, watch out! Argh!"
Someone screamed tragically.
Sword light flashed and a few five meridian Martial Knight martial artists died on the spot without any chance to fight back at all!
"Condense!"
A level six Martial Knight martial artist crushed multiple protection talismans and released his sect's secret skill. Right after, he took out a supreme-grade defensive shield and used it to block in front of him.
