Chapter 1005 - Surprise attacks
Although the beast stampede was ferocious, they were inferior in terms of martial arts realm at the end of the day and could not withstand the killing might of Martial Grandmasters.
The force of the beast stampede was already showing signs of weakness!
In that short period of time, General Sun did not stop in his tracks on the spirit vessel and approached the three princes.
When the battle broke out, the skinny old man and the other two Martial Grandmasters had already closed into the three princes to prevent accidents from happening.
The first to notice something unusual was the bald burly man.
Looking at General Sun who was walking over, the bald burly man frowned and barked, "Don't you know the rules? How dare you not kneel down in front of the princes!"
At the same time, the skinny old man frowned and released his spirit consciousness across General Sun.
"Hmm?"
The skinny old man's expression changed.
His spirit consciousness was blocked by a mysterious energy!
It was a familiar feeling, as though…
Not good!
The skinny old man gasped and his heart nearly stopped!
At the same time, a voice sounded coldly, "I'm not kneeling because… I'm here to send you to your graves!"
At that moment, General Sun had already arrived before the three Martial Grandmasters.
Right in front of everyone, General Sun's facial muscles twitched sinisterly and he transformed into another person in the blink of an eye!
It was a refined-looking scholar whose eyes were cold and murderous!
The intruder was not General Sun, but a transformed Aiden!
Almost everyone was focused on what was happening outside.
Nobody thought that Aiden would dare to approach them personally!
"This…"
The white-bloused woman was stunned.
That single lapse was the difference between life and death!
In Aiden's eyes, an opening as such was death in melee combat!
Reaching out, Aiden slapped the white-bloused woman on the head.
There was a loud thud on the ground.
The white-bloused woman's head exploded with brain juices splattering everywhere – even her Essence Spirit was destroyed on the spot!
The skinny old man and bald burly man reacted right away.
The bald burly man was a body-tempered warrior and he was delighted to see Aiden close in.
His bloodline surged.
instantly!
The bald burly man punched at Aiden's head fiercely!
His fist was like a meteor that arrived with an unparalleled force instantly!
However, the skinny old man was more experienced and retreated immediately.
He would gain the advantage as long as he could increase the distance between them!
At the same time, he conjured hand seals to release a Divine art.
Divine power churned.
A thick finger that resembled a heavenly-piercing pillar was conjured rapidly and thrust at Aiden's chest viciously with a frightening might!
"Om!"
Aiden spoke at the same time.
Daring Mantra was released!
Holy energy reverberated through the air endlessly, forming a noble might!
The first to be implicated was the Imperial Army that was nearby the deck.
Cling! Clang!
Many Imperial Army soldiers revealed pained looks as their weapons fell to the ground one after another with loud clangs.
Piak! Piak! Piak!
A series of cracks appeared on the protection talismans of the three princes – they were shaken by that single holy word!
As for the skinny old man, he shuddered and frowned with a hint of pain deep in his eyes.
Although he was a Martial Grandmaster, he was not a body tempered warrior and was not exactly strong enough to withstand the power of the holy sound.
The Divine power finger that was conjured in midair dissipated slightly and its power was reduced.
The bald burly man was the least impacted by the holy sound.
There was almost no pause in his punch!
"Ma!"
Aiden's expression was unchanged as he spoke once more.
The second holy word had arrived!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Most of the Imperial Army soldiers on the deck collapsed stiffly with blood oozing from all orifices. They suffered miserable deaths and their brains were mostly rattled into sludge.
The three princes slumped to the ground with terrible expressions on their faces as well.
The Divine power finger arriving from midair trembled and its strength was greatly diminished.
The skinny old man staggered as well.
However, he was fearless.
He had already increased the distance between them.
Moreover, Aiden had to deal with his Divine art and the bald burly man's melee combat – there was no chance for him to get close to the skinny old man.
All of a sudden!
The skinny old man caught a glimpse of light from the corner of his eyes.
Instinctively, he turned over.
Not far away, Aiden's right eye released a dazzling brilliance that resembled a blazing sun, illuminating the entire world like daylight!
Illumination Eye!
Boom!
A blinding light column surged forth through the void and delved right into the skinny old man's face!
Instantly, the world went still.
A radiance illuminated.
The next moment, the light beam dispersed.
Night returned.
On the spirit vessel, the skinny old man's body convulsed helplessly.
A hollow hole appeared on his face; his features were gone and everywhere around the hole was burned.
His head was penetrated by that white column of light!
His Essence Spirit was annihilated before it even had the chance to escape!
In the blink of an eye, two Martial Grandmasters on the spirit vessel were dead!
Although the skinny old man was dead, Aiden was attacking in succession and did not manage to avoid the Divine power finger conjured by the former after all.
Bang!
Aiden shuddered and his organs shook!
A stream of blood surged upwards and choked at his throat.
Since he wanted to kill Martial Grandmasters as a Martial Master, he had to undertake an immense risk!
Thankfully, Aiden had released the Daring Mantra in succession that reduced the impact of the skinny old man's Divine art.
Otherwise, he would have been severely injured with that attack!
Divine power was the energy of the universe and contained its might as well – it was not something that ordinary people could defend against!
Although Aiden's organs were shaken now, he had a strong physique and frightening regeneration capabilities – this was an injury that he could still withstand.
At the same time.
The bald burly man's eyes shone viciously and his fist had already arrived!
In his opinion, Aiden would be killed by a single punch from him even if the latter was in peak condition, let alone now that he was injured!
After all, he was a Martial Grandmaster realm body tempered warrior!
Aiden's eyes lit up and shone viciously. His blood qi surged with the howls of dragons and roars of tigers, his tendons pulsated and his bones echoed with metallic sounds!
Without retreating or avoiding, Aiden returned a punch as well.
Bang!
The two fists collided.
A jarring and dull sound echoed with the collision of flesh and bones!
The bald burly man's expression changed starkly.
He could sense an unstoppable power surging through the other party's fist toward him; it was like a tsunami that threatened to devour him!
"This is bad, this person's physique is really strong!"
The bald burly man was alarmed.
Although Aiden was not at Martial Grandmaster realm, his body was extremely frightening. The power of his blood and melee combat capabilities had far surpassed ordinary Martial Grandmasters.
If a Martial Grandmaster from Glass Palace that was renowned for body tempering was here, the fight between him and Aiden might be indeterminate.
However, this bald burly man was only an ordinary body-tempered warrior!
In other words, this bald burly man wouldn't even have the advantage against others like Jorl Wuya who died in Aiden's hands in melee combat, let alone Aiden himself!
If Aiden hadn't been struck by the skinny old man's Divine art previously, victory would have been decided by that single punch!
With that single exchange, the bald burly man had already sensed something amiss.
The bald burly man retreated with the momentum from Aiden's punch, intending to increase their distance so that he could release a Divine art to kill the latter.
When Aiden noticed the bald burly man's actions, his gaze flashed and he frowned slightly.
Although he had killed two Martial Grandmasters in succession, the situation was extremely disadvantageous for him.
Furthermore, things would only get more dangerous the longer the situation dragged on!
The surrounding Martial Grandmasters were already starting to notice what was going on here.
He had to kill this bald burly man with a definitive might!
But now that the bald burly man had retreated with the momentum of their clash, Aiden was already a little too slow – it was too late for him to give chase by now.
Suddenly, Aiden was struck by inspiration and opened his mouth.
"Pfft!"
With the help of his powerful organs, tongue, and mouth, Aiden spat the blood in his throat towards the bald burly man's face like an arrow!
The Daring Mantra's impact on the bald burly man was minimal.
However, that blood arrow could not be ignored!
