Inside of a massive crater were the 5 immortals cultivators from the palace. "Did you have to destroy the whole village Dan su?" The annoyed squad leader said.
The large man with the spiked mallet just shruged.
"The little girl burned my robes with her mysterious skill she had it coming for being insolent. Do you really even care Chen Rong?"
"You killed her father right in front of her. Of course she attacked you, oaf. Yet, besides that there had been too many inexplicable events that continually happened as we get closer to this city. One or two coincidences are one thing yet weeks worth are obvious signs. Yes! I do care that you made a scene during a supposed secret mission. What if he flees now that this disturbance has happened your actions wasted weeks of time! Let's move." The swordsman in similar red robs who seemed to be the leader stated with irritation. Then, they all began to float in the air when the suddenly stopped leader stopped.
"Somethings coming...wait no, it's already here."
WHOOSH!
"Very perceptive. I can definitely see why your the leader." Damien spoke from behind the group startling them.
They hadn't noticed any move past them let alone approach and this shocked the group. They all felt a cold chill in the air as the mysterious kid looked at the crater in the ground. The kid sucked his teeth.
"Tsk, too late to bring them back. Their souls have left this plane."
Damien turned around with an emotionless face. The cultivators were shocked at his eyes and otherworldly skin. The big man ignored the obvious signs that something was off. Even becoming an immortal didn't stopped a person from lacking intelligence. He began walking forward loosening his arm by swinging his spiked mallet. Stopping a few steps from Damien.
"Hey just come with us kid the crown price wants a word."
"And if I refuse?" Damien said flatly.
The big man chuckled, "well then this just became much more fun."
"Oh! Fun you say." Damien's slight smile hd no warmth.
"Yes! Kids like to have fun so how about soccer?"
Damien disappeared and kicked the man gut. The man flew past his comrades crashing through multiple trees before stopping. You could hear a loud groan from the man.
"Dammit I tried to pull that blow, oh well? I wonder if he's still having fun?"
All of the cultivators went on alert and used their techniques. Damien jumped foward dodging a massive sword slashed, flamed beam of concentrated light, he punched through a palm and let the last attack from the leader hit him directly.
KABOOOOM!
The blow sent Damien's body directly into the ground, followed by smoke and debris from their attack. The other three cultivators hadn't wasted this time and fired their attacks again followed by a massive explosions that decimated the landscape turned every thing to rubble for miles around. The loss of life was massive in the surround area.
The 4 cultivators were blown away but were unharmed as they observed the the massive craters and blast aftermath. The leader of the cultivators with the intricate designs on his robes hope they didn't annihilate the body or they would be severely punished. The prince never said he need the body to be whole. He just needed his blood. Just as he was about to examine the body a voice spoke.
"Well that sword attack was very unexpected and tickled a bit. I must admit my lack of hand to hand combat experience still shows. So, was that all? I wonder at what point will you've all realized that you f***ed up in coming here?"
"Boss.." One of the men said.
"Shut up! You don't think I see what happened? "
They all pulled out their mid level immortal weapons, sword made of light, dual whips of lighening, and a bow. Faster than the eye could see and surrounded Damien and attacked. The lightsaber type crescent sword swung by one of the cultivators at Damiens back. Sensing the delicate change in the particles in the air behind him and stepped to the side. The wide eye cultivators was completely vulnerable as Damien smirked at him and slapped with a powerful backhand sending the man flying with blood out of his mouth out cold.
The two whips followed the 1st attack and they moved on their own seemingly. The two whips broke into thousands of whips of lightning in each whip. The immortal cultivator attacked Damien from every angle. Which Damien prompt dodged each one. The whips blurred and Damien had done the same. Massive explosions rang out. The masked bowman cultivator fired countless arrows at the same time. This massive powerful bolts fill the holes of the whip leaving Damien nowhere to dodge so he didnt and took the attack head on. Right before the bolts hit a massive explosion surrounded Damien. This time the debris was forcibly cleared by Damien yet when he reappeared he was in his bloodline state. Damien blurred and reappeared inform of the whip holder, Damien grabbed his head and blurred to the bowman doing the same. Damien turned to the leader who was about to attack and shook his head effectively freezing him in his spot with fear. He then smashed the two cultivators heads into the ground creating a crater with two bodies embedded into the ground upside down with their legs in the air unmoving.
All of this was in under a minute. The leader of the group was frozen in fear. Although far from the strongest, the 5 of them should have been too much for anything in this back water city. He had to get out of here but he had to get past this monster. The prince needs to know about this. The leader was started out of his desperate thought.
"And then their was one. So what do you want to do? Your the leader right? So, why are you here specifically. Remember your answer is the only thing that will make you not end up like them." Damien gestured towards the two behind him stuck in the ground.
"I'll let you all leave expect the big man. He isn't going anywhere. He will pay for killing my subjects."
"These lands are ruled by the royal family. Who are you to-"
Damien blurred punching the man in the stomach making him vomit. "Wrong answer. One more chance, what does the prince want."
The immortal cultivator squad leader coughed until he could breathe again holding up his hand.
"The *cough* prince sent us. He wanted to claim your bloodline for himself. He wanted to claim it to take over the palace from his father. He is the 4th in line to rule and wants to be so powerful that his siblings would submit. I see now that the prince has finally over reached his power."
Damien had his hand on his chin and thought over what the squad leader had said. Damien still had to check on his master. This prince sounds like nothing but trouble. Damien shot a golden light into the squad leaders skull that went away as fast as it came. The squad leader eyes were squeezed tight until he realized he still drew breath.
"Looks like you were telling the truth. You may take you comrade away."
Damien pointed his hands in the direction the large cultivator was kicked. The large cultivator was just beginning to recover when a massive ball of purple fire filled his terrified eyesight.
"AHHHH!!!!"
The smell of burning hair and cooked meat filled the air. The squad leader was behind terrified and fell on his face, bowing to Damien smashing his hea do to the ground.
"Spare me heavenly immortal please and you will NEVER see any of us again. EVER!"
What's with these people bashing their head into the ground? That looks painful, Sheesh!
"I gave you my word. If your still here when I come back this way. Their will be no mercy. Tell your prince that he'll need to come get me himself. Or if he doesn't, tell him I'll come to him. That he'll only need to be patient."
When the sect master lifted his head their was no one in sight. He let out an relived breathe a puddle of sweat under his body. He threw out a a green gem out of a pouch that turned in a massive bird with horns. The squad leader tossed out ropes that wrapped around all of the unconcious cultivators. He immediate jumped on his beast and took off.
Damien was flying back to the battle and stayed in his bloodlinestate. Not much time had passed since he left the sect master. He didnt know what the other sect leader were capable of and he was out manned. Damien had already flew an half hour away but that time would be cut in half with his powerful wings. Damien dashed back hoping the sect master was able to hold his own.
