" What!? Where the hell is he!?" Elder rock shouted.
Levi disappeared without a trace, not even his blood remained.
" Damn it! go! Look for him! He's already half dead, he couldn't have gotten far!" He shouted, his face was twisted.
The 3 elders only nodded before going to search.
...
Demonic god sect.
" What!? The sun sect and cloud sect, along with four of our elders attacked you!? And the sect master is fighting them alone!?"
This was the elder that was always with the sect master, the leading figure after the sect master.
He immediately stood up.
" ALL ELDERS, GET TO THE SECT MASTER'S HALL! NOW!" A voice boomed across the whole demonic god sect, waking the disciples.
" What's going on?" A half sleeping disciple left his room.
" I don't know, but, it is most likely something that we can't do anything about. look!" The disciple pointed to the sky.
6 figures were flying through the night sky at an incredible speed, emitting frightening pressures as the ground trembled.
...
Five year coliseum.
" huff! huff!" Yhe sect master panted heavily.
The cloud sect master was also injured, a finger sized hole in his left chest, slightly above his heart.
He was breathing heavier than usual, his smile gone.
"Why won't you die?" He asked.
He pointed his sword at the sect master before disappearing, then reappeared behind him.
Boom!
As the sword of darkness and the cloud sect master's sword coated with wind qi clashed, a small shockwave emanated.
" heuk!" The sect master vomited a mouthful of blood.
" Why did you get involved in this?" Yhe sect master's hoarse voice rang out.
"Why? Does there need to be a reason to want to kill someone?" A smile surfaced on the cloud sect master's face.
" Hmph! Then die!" A sword appeared in the sect master's free hand as he slashed down towards the cloud sect master's left shoulder.
Silence.
Drip! Drip!
The sound of a liquid dripping disturbed the moment of quiet.
" You..." The sect master's eyes were wide with surprise.
Just as his sword was about to destroy his heart after cutting through his shoulder, the cloud sect master formed a spear of spiraling wind qi stabbed him instead.
Although he cut his shoulder, it was too shallow.
" What a monster you are, still able to talk with that giant hole in your chest. But, i have won thi-" He was interrupted.
" No..." The sect master forcefully said.
" Even in death....i still wi-" He didn't get to finish his sentence, as he fell to the ground, breathing his last.
" What is he- aghh!" The cloud sect master suddenly shouted in pain, as he held his left shoulder.
" He injected his qi into my body when he cut my shoulder, sending it to my heart."
" But that was just the futile struggle of a dying man."
" I'll just seal it unti- what!?! i can't seal it?!" He found that he couldn't seal the deadly qi slowly inching towards his heart, as it disintegrated any qi sent to seal it.
He then remembered what the sect master was saying, ' Even in death, i still win.'
He was feeling something strange, it was the feeling of not being able to get angry at something infuriating.
Even though he wanted to shout at the top of his lungs in anger, he lost the ability to get angry a long time ago.
Puchi!
While he was contemplating his inability to get angry, a scorching hot blade stabbed through his back and out his chest, causing his flesh to burn and his blood to boil.
" Heuk! you...."Hhe coughed a mouthful of blood as he looked back.
" Humph! You're already this weak! And he is already dead! So who, if not you, would i get revenge for my arm from?" The sun sect master, with his remaining arm holding a golden sword asked, a vicious expression on his face.
Puff!
The sun sect master was hit with a large amount of sharp wind qi and exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere.
" i'm not weak enough that you can kill me...huff.." The cloud sect master said while clutching the hole in his chest, a white pattern appeared then the bleeding stopped.
"...It seems that, because of my extensive injuries, my cultivation level has dropped...sigh." He looked up to the sky, his face expressionless.
" Time to leave..." He felt some powerful people coming in his direction, and figured that they were the people of the demonic god sect.
Although he could easily kill people at their level, he wouldn't be able to take on that many people in his current condition.
He looked around for a second before disappearing into the sky.
A while later.
" Sect master!" The six elders appeared.
The first thing they saw was a patch of blood and flesh.
Then they saw a middle aged man with long disheveled white hair lying face down on the ground, in a puddle of his own blood, a gaping hole going straight through his body.
"....Bring his body, we are going back to the sect! At a time like this, we can't leave the sect undefended!" After a short pause, the elder swallowed the sadness of loosing his friend, and ordered.
Insuring the sect's survival was the most important thing at the moment.
...
In an unfamiliar place, Levi opened his eyes, his vision blurry as he looked around.
He was on a stone bed in a room made of grayish black bricks, it's only source of light, a dimly lit candle on the wall.
" Where is this?" Levi mumbled as he got up and put on the black robes that were beside the bed.
" Hmm?" All of his wounds were healed, but he realised that he couldn't use any qi.
He walked out of the doorless room and found himself in a pitch black hallway.
" I see that you're up." Suddenly, a voice was heard.
Startled, Levi looked back.
" You..." He stiffened when he saw the person that appeared in the room, it was the man that appeared every 5 years for the 5 year tournament.
" Come with me." Yhe man walked out the room and started to walk down hall.
" Who are you?" Levi, still in the same place, asked coldly.
From the time he saw this man, he found him strange.
The man stopped.
" The person who saved your life." The man said, with his strange voice.
Without looking back, he continued walking. Levi started to follow the man, but he was still suspicious, so he kept a certain distance.
Although this man saved him, who knew why?
People don't do things without reasons, and this man definitely had a reason for saving him.
...
Demonic god sect.
" You are our elders! Why are you doin- heuk!" The four elders couldn't find Levi, so they decided to pay the sect a visit.
" Starting now, i am the master of the demonic god sect! anybody who disagrees, will end up like this!" Elder rock held up the disciple with a gaping hole in his chest, causing the other disciples to tremble.
" WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" At this moment, a voice filled anger shook the demonic god sect.
After getting the sect master's body, the elder flew back to the sect at full speed, only to see this scene.
Elders from the same sect, threatening and killing disciples.
How could he not be angry?
Puchi!
Just as he was about to attack, a stabbing sound rang out.
The elder turned his head in disbelief.
" You...." Before he could say anything, a large amount of qi was sent into his body, destroying his organs and killing him instantly.
" Don't get the wrong idea. The only reason i killed him and joined you was because, like the sect master, he became soft." Out of the five remaining elders, one spoke.
He had straight short hair, with a small beard hanging from his chin.
The others looked at this scene with cold eyes, silently.
Elder rock looked into the sky, his face cold.
' I'll have to kill him.' He thought as he looked at the elder.
