In a quiet and lively forest, where many animals lived in peace, a figure emerged out of nowhere, and behind him were more than fifty armed men chasing the figure with their full might. These men were filled with anger as they chased the figure.

An old man threw a spear to kill the figure, the speed of the spear was as fast as a bullet but the figure dogged it without even looking back. The old man felt a little humiliated but continued to chase him not giving the figure any chance to rest.

The figure turned back and looked at the crowd, "Hmph, can't you guys even give time to rest"

The same old man who previously threw the spears came forward, "You can't blame us, can you??. If it weren't for you, we would have long gained what you obtained"

The figure coldly started at the old man and asked, "I have already said more than ten times I never obtained it. Even if I did obtain do you think I would give it to you??"

The old man replied, "It doesn't matter what you tell us, either way, we are going to know after we kill you but even so as a sign of respect if you give us the [Energy absorption Art], We would let you go after crippling you, Mad king"

The Mad king snorted with laughter as he said, "As expected of the dogs of the Arcane sect, you guys are ruthless as ever"

"I guess you truly are the Mad King, in the entire four continents, there is no one as mad as you to offend us. Even your own master didn't dare to offend us when he was at his prime let alone a titled moon rank expert" the old man said arrogantly.

"Hmph, when my master was alive not even your sect master was willing to offend my master. Let alone a pawn who didn't even hesitate to sacrifice even his family or his master. Know this there is nothing I, the mad king doesn't dare to do"

The old man started laughing, "Oh yeah?? why don't you kill me then Mad king, you said it yourself there is nothing you don't dare do"

"You brought it yourself" Mad King immediately charged towards the old man while the old man revealed a surprising look.

"Mountain Shattering Fist" Mad king shouted while others immediately tried to defend the old man but it was already too late.

The old man was unable to dodge the sudden attack of the mad king due to his arrogance and became severely wounded, maybe it was due to him being too old or the attack being too strong, the old man was now in his last breath, looking at his wounds he murmured, "You bastard, the Arcane sect will never let you off for killing me. Even if you leave the earth itself the Arcane sect won't let you off" and then he died with regret in his eyes. The old man had never imagined someone would even dare attack him let alone kill him. As a grand elder of the Arcane sect, he had always been the center of attention whenever he appeared outside of the sect, he had always felt invincible as long as he had the sect was behind him but today he had been killed.

Others quickly attacked the mad king, even though the mad king himself was powerful he wasn't able to protect himself from so many attacks.

In an instance, many people injured the mad king while the mad king endured and in the final moment he shouted, "[Circle of Counter-attack]"

The mad king suddenly made his move and attacked everyone in a certain range, men who were in the close distance were immediately destroyed while others retreated as fast as they can.

Looking at the eyes of the terrified look of those people, the mad king smirked but started coughing blood. Even though Mad king was able to make them retreat, his body was severely wounded while his heart was nearly pierced by a spear.

The mad king having been heavily injured by his enemies and with no hope left he shouted looking at the sky, "Master, your disgraceful disciple is going to join you soon" and looked at the necklace decorated with a beautiful crystal. The necklace had been gifted to him by his master in his 18th birthday and now he was going to meet his master soon.

The mad king slowly picked up a sword while his enemies watched him carefully waiting to make a move, in front of their eyes the mad king committed suicide. The people who had previously attacked him were completely stunned, never did they ever imagine the mad king would kill himself.

One of them approached the dead Mad king and checked his pulse, "He is dead, I am afraid we can't capture him alive"

He started searching [Energy Absorption art] on his body but ultimately he couldn't find anything.

Unable to find anything they angrily started cutting his bodies into little pieces and scattered them.

Their face became gloomy as they imagine what punishment they would have to face if they ever were to report the grand elder of their result.

Not only did they failed to obtain [Energy Absorption art] but also lost more than fifty inner disciples, ten core disciples, and a grand elder by a mere moon rank expert. This without a doubt was the greatest humiliation the sect ever faced. They might be crippled as a punishment at the very least.

After they left, crows started gathering around the scattered pieces of meat and started eating them. The arcane sect soon announced the death of the Mad King to the world. The whole world instantly became shocked by the sudden death of the mad king, people who previously were threatened by the mad king started to rejoice and some of them even conducted banquet to celebrate his death, some became suspicious as they asked who killed the mad king, some sent their men to investigate about his death, some started to wonder whether it was true while little people mourned for his death but no one would ever imagine the proudful Mad king who had terrified so many people and sects had committed suicide.
