Chapter 918 918 - Unwanted Attention

In the Tianhuang North Region, the strength of Stellar Luna Sect and Blazing Phoenix Valley was above Ethereal Peak.

As the paragons of those two sects, G'ang Nan and Mo Xir had survival methods and were difficult to kill in the first place.

Furthermore, Aiden was severely injured by the Scarlet Armored Gigantic Crocodile in the underground cave and was now battling with heavy injuries.

Mo Xir and G'ang Nan escaped frantically and Aiden's Martial Master phenomenon was already unable to hold out, fading gradually while his Martial Master throbbed in pain.

That was a sign that his spirit energy was being pushed to its limits!

Aiden was filled with killing intent and a fierce gaze.

He must not let the two of them escape!

If they got out, the location of the medicinal field would definitely be leaked out.

The thousands of years old Vermillion Fruit would only ripen in another month and that would add too many variables as to who would get their hands on it eventually.

The killing intent in Aiden's heart rose. Devouring a Spirit Regeneration Elixir, he leaped into the air and pursued Mo Xir and G'ang Nan who were scurrying to escape.

Although he was severely injured and his spirit energy was depleted, with the burst of his bloodline and the help of his Ethereal Wings, Aiden's speed was still frighteningly fast!

Mo Xir and G'ang Nan did not leave Aiden's line of sight the entire time.

Using Flame Escape, G'ang Nan was the first to rush out of the underground palace.

He was followed by Mo Xir and Aiden was right behind.

By now, Aiden was already close to catching up to Mo Xir!

Sensing an evil gust of wind behind him, Mo Xir turned back and was scared out of his wits.

The both of them were less than ten feet apart!

With a pale expression, Mo Xir commented with a dark gaze, "Fellow warrior, I've already given up on trying to fight for the medicinal field. There's no need for you to hunt me down ruthlessly, right? How about letting me live?"

"Hunt you down ruthlessly?"

Aiden sneered and asked instead, "Have you considered letting me live earlier on?"

"You…!" Mo Xir was speechless.

Snarling, Aiden continued, "It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

Mo Xir was injured by the Divine Turtle phenomenon after all and his condition was getting worse as he sprinted; a trickle of blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't force me!"

Mo Xir's eyes flashed with lunacy as he shouted while panting, "It won't be good for you either if we really fall out!"

"How dare you threaten me still?!"

Aiden's killing intent was sharp as he remarked frostily, "I'll kill you first!"

In his life, Aiden hated to be threatened.

Mo Xir's words sealed the nail on his coffin!

When he sensed Aiden's killing intent, Mo Xir knew that he was doomed and yelled from the depths of his throat, "There's a ten thousand-year-old medicinal field here and a highly precious several thousand Year old Vermilion Fruit that's about to ripen!"

Mo Xir used almost all of his strength with that shout.

All the martial artists in the vicinity of the Great Forbidden Ruins moved with his voice.

In reality, even without Mo Xir's shout, there were already some martial artists that noticed the activity in the depths of the palace and were rushing over.

Some of their movements were already heard by Aiden.

There were also martial artists appearing in his line of sight.

He could not let things drag on anymore!

With a cold gaze, Aiden slapped his storage bag and withdrew the dark thick ebony blade, Rygintarth. Pausing in his tracks, he slowly gripped the handle as he began to fuel more and more of his Soul Power towards the ferocious weapon soul inside the blade.

At the same time, the blade began to emit a hollow, barely noticeable glow as it sailed across the empty air in the next instant.

*Whoosh!*

Five spirit patterns shone on the moon-white gigantic bow brightly.

A transparent, slice of energy that coated the blade swiveled for the briefest of moments among its wake.

If anyone focused their attention, they would vaguely see that there was an almost invisible slice of energy left behind in the air that shot forward like a projectile!

Such an attack was not something a regular artifact weapon, no matter its grade, should be capable of.

It was only possible if the artifact weapon has transcended what was possible in the mortal realm, and has a conscious soul inside it!

Channeling his Soul Power, Aiden slashed with his bow with a shocking divine power as though he was hugging a full moon.

*Pshew!*

A sharp projectile made out of energy tore through the air at an extremely fast speed, arriving instantly like a flash of lightning.

Mo Xir felt the killing intent behind him as well. Without even turning back, he crushed a protection talisman right away and dodged to the side with all his might.

"Pfft!"

A flash of blood appeared.

Even so, Mo Xir was still a step slower and his right chest was penetrated by the arcane projectile, causing blood to spurt out!

There was no way of withstanding the might of the ebony blade unless he was using a top-tier protection talisman!

That arrow did not pierce Mo Xir's heart.

However, his lung was pierced and the tremendous force ripped his lung apart, almost rupturing his other organs as well!

"Ee… Ee…"

Mo Xir let out a weird sound as though his throat was a windpipe that was leaking air.

"Even if… you… kill me… you won't be… able to survive! Ee… ee!"

Fresh blood was being coughed out of Mo Xir's mouth as his eyes turned bloodshot.

Although he could struggle to stand in midair, he could not survive for much longer.

*Pshew!* *Pshew!* *Pshew!*

There was a loud sound of energy arrows piercing through the air.

A series of dark lights shot into Mo Xir's body.

The chase had already led the two of them away from the forbidden grounds of the palace and they were now outside.

Not far away, a pair of archers patrolling the palace fired more than ten malevolent arrows, almost riddling Mo Xir's entire body with holes.

*Bang!*

Mo Xir's body exploded and he turned into a blood mist that spread out in midair.

The Martial Master paragon of Stellar Luna Sect was buried in the Great Forbidden Ruins!

G'ang Nan had already fled far away using Flame Escape and was almost out of Aiden's line of sight.

There were ways for Aiden to kill G'ang Nan as well.

If he were to release Blood Escape, he would definitely be able to catch up to G'ang Nan.

Otherwise, if Aiden were to circulate his Primal Core and burst forth with his Soul Power energy, he could receive a boost in speed and hunt down G'ang Nan with his true form. In that case, G'ang Nan would almost definitely be dead as well.

But now, there were already more and more martial artists rushing over to where he was.

Those two methods were both inappropriate.

Furthermore, if Aiden were to continue chasing, it would mean leaving Slyff Nae and the other two alone in the underground palace.

Given their severe injuries, they could meet with danger at any moment!

More than ten archers in the palace turned their sights towards Aiden and started drawing their bows in unison, prepared to attack once more.

After a moment of contemplation, Aiden decided to retreat to the forbidden grounds of the palace and turned around, speeding in the direction of the underground palace.

Before he arrived at the entrance, he already caught sight of multiple martial artists swarming towards the underground palace!

The remark that Mo Xir shouted prior to his death had still attracted quite a bit of trouble.

"All of you, get lost!"

Before he arrived, Aiden sprinted over and shouted like a God of War, his black hair swaying while his gaze burned.

Slyff Nae and the other two were severely injured in the underground palace – Aiden would definitely not allow the three of them to be met with danger!

"Hmph, the treasures of the world belong to the strong. Who are you to stop us?"

Someone swept his gaze at Aiden and sneered after seeing that the latter was only at early-stage Martial Master realm.

Without saying anything more, Aiden raised the ebony blade in his hands and slashed in the empty air.

*Pshew!*

*Poof!!*

A dark light streaked by and that person's throat was pierced, dying on the spot without making a sound.

"Hmm?"

"A Divine artifact weapon? No, there seems to be a weapon spirit residing in that blade that's almost finished forming! That's a quasi-divine artifact weapon!"

"Insolent!"

When someone saw the ebony blade in Aiden's hands, greed filled his eyes as he hollered, "Unknown demon, how dare you act so insolently here!"

Aiden scoffed coldly and gripped the weapon's handle tightly before slashing with it again.

*Pshew!*

*Poof!!*

A flash of blood appeared.

Yet another Martial Master fell from midair.

Two consecutive slashes murdered two Martial Masters one after another.

Aiden's torrential ferocity was absolute and stunned almost all the martial artists present instantly!

"Who is this man? How is he so domineering?"

"I don't know, but I think I saw him shoot the paragon of Stellar Luna Sect, Mo Xir, to death earlier on!"

"What!"

Many martial artists were shocked.
