Chapter 871 871 - Someone Unexpected

Swerving within the crowd, Aiden did not bother to fight against late-stage and perfected Martial Masters forcibly at all. The moment he missed an attack, he would retreat instantly without lingering.

Even when dozens of Martial Masters attacked at the same time, they could not keep Aiden in a single spot.

A moment later, Aiden was only filled with a couple more superficial wounds that healed within the blink of an eye.

However, more than ten Martial Masters on the side of Blood Crow Palace had already died!

Everyone was getting more fearful.

This man, this boy with his mysterious origin was way too frightening!

He already possessed the capability to kill Martial Masters without even filling up his own core and stepping into the same realm himself.

Furthermore, he was battling dozens of Martial Masters, and yet, instead of being disadvantaged, he was slowly controlling the situation!

This man looked to be in his twenties – how did he possess such terrifying combat talent?

"Kill!"

Seizing an opportunity, Aiden took a few strides forward and arrived before Sezud Nida. Lifting his Coiling Dragon Seal, he smashed it down at the latter's head!

The Coiling Dragon Seal shone with a bright golden light and let out a thunderous bang as it landed.

*Boom!*

The seal landed with a frightening aura!

Suddenly, a vicious glint shone in Sezud Nida's eyes as he said icily. "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

*Swoosh!*

Sezud Nida circulated his Martial Master realm power to its limits ready to unleash his killing move.

Searing flames burned more than a hundred feet tall, letting out a scorching heat. Swiftly, he engulfed Aiden with a blazing momentum!

It was his own secret skill!

The reason why Sezud Nida endured till this point was because he wanted to kill Aiden thoroughly with this one chance, this one final attack!

However, Aiden did not avoid nor dodge as his bloodline raced. He pushed down his blinding Coiling Dragon Seal violently like it was a blazing sun!

"You must have a death wish!"

Sezud Nida roared and the strength behind his attack intensified.

*Boom!*

The Coiling Dragon Seal collided against the power of the killing move and a deafening bang was produced as their powers ran rampant!

The instant of the collision, the momentum of the flames was actually repressed by the Coiling Dragon Seal!

Since he was extremely close to the sea of flames, Aiden could only grit his teeth and endure the incoming blaze. He channeled his bloodline and spirit energy to fight against it repeatedly.

Both sides exerted their strength!

The Coiling Dragon Seal was less than an inch away from Sezud Nida's head but it could not go down further due to the obstruction of the Martial Master phenomenon.

A moment later, a gigantic flame burned over, engulfing Aiden's arm completely.

The fire sizzled, scorching everything in its wake.

In an instant, Aiden's arm was charred and his flesh ripped apart in a terrifying manner!

Sighing internally, Aiden withdrew himself and retreated.

It was no wonder why true Martial Masters were feared and even Martial Grandmasters would not easily engage in combat with them despite the difference in realms.

Even with his supreme artifact treasures as well as his own life essence, Aiden could not manage to break through the defenses of the brutal, hellish attack.

Swiftly, Aiden avoided the attacks of many Martial Masters and escaped.

His arm was still burning with fire and his flesh was already in a bloodied mess!

There was no way to purge this hellish fire, this infernal flame except for extreme means!

"Haha!"

Sezud Nida laughed loudly. "Little bastard, your arm is already crippled for good!"

"Huh? Oh not necessarily…"

Aiden harrumphed coldly and took a deep breath of air. The Soul Power in his Primal Core roared and his bloodline surged, cruising through his limbs towards his injured arm.

*Clack!*

The flames extinguished and smoke billowed.

"Hmm?"

The martial artists watched with widened eyes.

The next moment, something even more frightening happened!

The charred black flesh on Aiden's arm fell off gradually and fresh, tender meat started growing with a shiny luster!

"There's no chance left…"

The hooded mature woman shook her head in the distance.

"Since that burly man didn't come, it's over for Nether Peak Sect."

"Aunt, what other way is there to save hi— them?" Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa frowned deeply.

"I'm at late-stage Martial Master realm and even if I step in, the most I can do is help stabilize the Martial Master battlefield. However, the old beast of Nether Peak Sect up above the clouds can no longer hold on,"

The elderly woman replied regrettably, "It's a pity that as the second person in history to reach such an astounding power level whilst still in the Martial Knight realm, that young man is about to die without the chance to grow further."

Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa's eyes dimmed.

The mature woman sighed seeing her little girl's reaction. "The impression left on the martial world by that catastrophe 10,000 years ago is way too deep. No martial artist or sect is willing to make an enemy as strong as the primordial races just for the sake of Nether Peak Sect!"

…

Beneath Nether Peak Sect, blood flowed in rivers and the corpses were stacked like mountains.

On the Martial Master battlefield, Aiden made use of his strong physique and terrifying movement techniques to sustain in the fights continuously, ensuring that they did not lose.

However, Nether Peak Sect was already completely defeated on the Martial Grandmaster battlefield!

There were more than a hundred Martial Grandmasters but more than half of them had already died. The remaining Martial Grandmasters were wounded and could only struggle to defend while being steadily defeated.

It was only a matter of time before Nether Peak Sect was annihilated!

The situation of the old divine swan above the clouds was even worse!

To begin with, the old divine swan did not have long to live. Unless she progressed in her martial realm and broke her chains of mortality, she would have only held on for a few dozen more years even without this calamity.

Although her true form was of a divine beast, a pure-blooded ferocious bird, she was already old and her combat strength was not even half of when she was at her peak.

Of the five Quasi-Divine powerhouses that were fighting in the battle, one of them was even from the primordial races. By this point of the battle, the old divine swan was already at the end of her road.

Wounded all over, her gaze was dimmed and her feathers shed endlessly; even the flames on her body were starting to extinguish.

Blood Crow Palace's Lord waved his bone staff and shot forth an extremely evil blood arrow.

"Pfft!"

The old divine swan was unable to dodge in time and an additional bloodied hole the size of an arm appeared on her wings.

A sizzling sound was produced from the wound and it ate at her flesh nearby. Oozing with thick blood, the smell was pungent as the old divine swan grunted.

Immediately after, the attacks of the remaining four Void Reversions landed on the old divine swan.

*Poof!* *Poof!*

Two more wounds appeared on her body and blood gushed like a stream.

The old divine swan's body almost exploded and one of her legs was snapped. It was a tragic sight as she swayed, about to fall.

The old divine swan had protected Nether Peak Sect for thousands of years ever since the Founder Master passed away. She had truly given it her all and fought to the very last moment without backing off!

Everyone from Nether Peak Sect was heartbroken when they saw that.

"Senior swan!"

Sect Master Ling Yun exclaimed miserably.

The outcome was decided. The moment the old divine swan falls, all the other Nether Peak Sect martial artists would be akin to fish on a chopping board, helpless to being slaughtered.

"Fufufufu!"

Blood Crow Palace's Lord sneered. "Old beast, I've already told you. Today, I'm going to massacre Nether Peak Sect from top down, leaving no one alive!"

"Leaving no one alive?"

Suddenly, another voice could be heard from above the clouds. It was deep and a little hoarse. Although it wasn't loud, it reverberated through everyone's ears!

Who would dare appear at a moment as such?

All the martial artists looked over instinctively.

From the horizon, a man in black robes strode over in an unhurried manner.

Initially, it was just a blurry figure. However, he arrived in the blink of an eye!

Everyone on the battlefield was surprised.

That person walked extremely slowly as though he was taking a leisure stroll. However, by arriving instantly, he created a strong visual impact!

Now that he was so close, everyone could finally see clearly.

He had long shoulder-length black hair that fell freely like a waterfall. His face was extremely sharp and angled and he possessed a frosty expression, emitting an aura that was equally cold.

For some reason, after the black-robed man appeared, everyone on the black-robed man, including the five Void Reversions above the clouds, felt a sense of trepidation!
