The whole arena was in a mess!
Fredrick was besieged by many masters. Those that Katz brought from Medicine Valley also hounded people from the Dunn family.
In the Lenoir family's area, once Eren and Leylin took action, the masters of the Lenoir family also sprinted up and attacked the Dunn family members.
In a short moment, the arena broke out into a war.
Leylin eyes flashed with a bloody tint with a savage smile at the corner of his lips, "Embroil, ravage and erupt.. Let the Bloodline Emperor celebrate the festival of slaughter.. and on top of your corpse mount his new throne. Kill!!!!!"
None of the warriors who came to watch the Martial Competition expected the event to go down this way.
When the big fight erupted, many furious powers vented out their enmity and ruthlessly attacked their enemies, embroiling many innocents. Because of this, in just few minutes, a number of warriors were sent to their death.
The bystanders could no longer sit still.
Seeing the two families slaughtering each other, very few people decided to stay and continue watching. They all hurriedly retreated from the God Stone Square, afraid that they might become a target in the slaughterhouse. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
The retreat of the bystanders was very swift. Now the only people present in the God Stone Square were those from the five big families.
The Crystal family was merely the observers. In the absence of Elrod Crystal, the Crystal family decided to only be a spectator, not aiding either of the families.
Kyle Crystal stood in silence in the Crystal family's tower. He was closely watching the besieged Fredrick Dunn, and occasionally gazed at the Dunn family members who were attacked by the Lenoir family.
"Young master, what should we do? Keep watching?"
Kyle's eyes flashed coldly as he spoke, "Mmmhmm, we don't need to entangle ourselves in this dog fight. Let them chase among themselves; whatever the outcome, it wouldn't affect us in the least. We will directly curb the one who loses in the end and take away their inheritance. With our influence in the Merchant Union, we will be the prime benefactors."
"You are wise, Young Master. But, should we stay?"
"There's no need." Kyle suddenly smiled, "Let's go back, staying and doing nothing wouldn't be that great after all. We're not joining the fight anyway, so let's go back and arrange things a little. Let's go."
Upon hearing that, all the masters from the Crystal family nodded in unison. Led by him they all retreated from the God Stone Square.
Now, in the arena, only four families remained: Ashdown, Delaney, Dunn and Lenoir. The Lenoir and Dunn families were fighting, while the Ashdown and Delaney families were merely the spectators.
Unknowingly, Kenneth Lenoir (Eren's son) arrived at where the Ashdown family was. He bowed to Ian Ashdownand said, "Uncle Ian, I hope you could please keep an eye on the Delaney family during this fight."
Ian casually replied while sipping his tea, "Don't worry, the Ashdown and Delaney families always had feud between us. If the Delaney family dares to make a move, we won't be sit still either. Rest assured and do whatever your Lenoir family wants. The Delaney's won't be problem for you."
"Good scheming, big brother." Zali was stunned for a while, then he finally nodded, "I was thoughtless, big brother. You are one that strongly considers the future."
"Yes, we only need to protect Mary, the rest we don't need to care about." Wadley raised his head, and squinted towards the fight in mid air, saying, "When she gets here, we can go back. This time the odds are against Fredrick." He sighed, "Who would've known that the Misty Pavilion hid a Sky Realm master, Brother Fredrick, it's not that I don't care about our friendship, just that you're truly in back luck."
..
Soon Rodney brought Mary and knocked her unconscious as the Delaney's decided to leave the chaotic environment.
In the arena, the Delaney and Ashdown families had been sitting still as mountains. However, at this crucial moment, as if they did not see the chaos inside the arena, the two heads of the families walked side by side, and with their subordinates behind them, headed straight out of the God Stone Square.
Those remaining in the God Stone Square were only the onlookers who thought that they were strong enough to bear the aftershocks of the battle, the Dunn family, the Lenoir family and the people from the Medicine Valley.
Leylin was roaming the God Stone Square leisurely, although he wasn't using his Dark Lighting Armor form, his speed was still extremely fast not even a Disaster Realm can capture his moments without focusing. Leylin had his hands behind his back and looked like a teenager taking around an evening stroll.
Wherever there was a body, he would appear there. His presence would cause the body to completely dry up and become devoid of any Profound Qi in mere seconds.
Because of the devastating battle, many nearby warriors felt the brunt of it.
Those warriors of Elementary and Nascent realms were the most affected, for they couldn't block the aftershocks from the battle between the Nirvana Realm warriors. Once they became entangled in their battle, there was no hope for them.
In just a few minutes, Leylin roamed around the God Stone Square and harvested all the Profound Qi from various Elementary Realm and Nascent Realm warriors but his main targets were higher level warriors.
All Human Realm warriors who were somewhat lucky to escape, as they could withstand the aftershocks generated from the battle, not receiving any life threatening wounds were selected by him to be his target.
Leylin swiftly and ruthlessly managed to kill whoever came in his way without distinction only sparing Lenoir's and Medicine Valley because of the chaos and severe repercussions it may cause, but he has no qualms whatsoever into making the battle more bloody and harvesting.
Due to his devour power and devour system that could absorb the Profound Qi from the corpses and refine it without any problem respectively into his meridians, Leylin hoped for more chaos. He was continually encouraging Eren and others to fight against the Dunn family in person so to increase the casualties, enabling him to enter higher Realms faster.

....
Continuous notifications sounded as A. I. Chip showed Leylin progress bar increasing at an incredible speed, his strength, agility and vitality were increasing slowly while Profound Qi rapidly increased in his meridians, his devouring powers and innate Devour System working at full capacity, slightly making him overfilled.
"It's only in the battlefield where the warriors belong, the blood boiling, screams shaking the ground, vile curse and unheard prayers ringing the ears of the corpses. In this chaos of messed minds, pandemonium of torn flesh and terror of departed soul shall the true God Of Slaughter take his rightful place and reintroduce the glory of the Blood Demon waiting to DEVOUR!"
