Rexi had a solemn expression but the evil sect cultivator just grinned and showed him his sharp tooth.
The evil sect cultivator is a man aged twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He is dressed in a crimson robe, which has the character red Villa inscribed on the body.
"Hahaha." He laughed as he parried Rexi's blow. "Sword River association, show me your sword art, which you are all famed for."
"As you wish." Was Rexi's only reply.
His momentum changed, and his aura changed to one of tranquility.
"Calm ocean strike." He said as his sword released a blue-colored qi, which turned into a ten-meter-wide water sphere that crashed speedily toward the red Villa disciple.
The red Villa disciple grinned and said, "Crimson tide!". A red-colored water sphere was also transformed from his red-colored qi to clash with Rexi's water sphere.
Bang!!
The two attacks both collided and made a huge noise.
There was a depression on the surface of where the attacks collided; the ground was uprooted as trees were broken from the shock wave of the attack.
Bang!... Bang!... Bang!..
The two water spheres collided a dozen times.
Rexi water sphere was the first to vanish. The red Villa sect disciple used what was remaining of his water sphere to attack Rexi, who countered with a sword qi, which cut the crimson-colored sphere and continued to attack the evil sect disciple.
The evil sect disciple grinned and sidestepped the attack. Creating apparition in a forward line as he rushes to attack Rexi.
Rexi kept throwing out sword qi, which cut trees into two and cleaved the land as the red Villa sect disciple advanced towards him by dodging all the attacks.
"Calm ocean sword rain." He said as the qi that came out of his sword turned into countless water droplets which, with a fast speed, shot towards the evil sect cultivator.
The evil sect cultivator couldn't dodge this attack, because of the quantity of the attack.
"Petty tricks." The evil sect cultivator sneered and said. "Crimson engulf."
A crimson mist came out of his sword and morphed into a giant-sized mouth that swallowed all the sword rain attack.
But the sword rain attack continued coming up as Rexi formed a new sword rain attack after the old one was exhausted.
The giant-sized mouth was then punctured, and the sword rain attacked the red Villa sect disciple who didn't expect his defensive technique to be defeated quickly.
"Crimson shield!" he shouted in fear as the crimson mist from his sword morphed into a material shield that was colored red.
Klank.. klank.. klank…
Was the sound when the sword rain hit the shield.
"Hmph!. I will teach you not to look down on a red Villa sect cultivator." The red Villa sect disciple said as he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"Advent of crimson!" he opened his hands wide as the liquid qi surrounded his entire body and transformed into a crimson-colored mist.
The mist swallowed the sword's rain attack.
The sword's rain technique couldn't stop the crimson mist.
The crimson mist has a corrosive attributes as it speedily neared Rexi.
Rexi was sweating and his face pale as he had overexerted his qi when he continuously used the sword rain attack.
"Sure enough, it isn't that easy to beat a late-stage qi condensation rank cultivator, but—" With a determined look, he held his sword tightly as he faced the fast-approaching crimson mist.
"It is great that I could reach expert mastery of my ultimate move."
Rexi closed his eyes for a second and reopened them. He looked at the fast-approaching crimson mist that was almost upon him, just a meter from him, and said, "Calm ocean sword art. Ultimate strike turbulent ocean."
The moment the words were spoken. He swung his sword, which picked up a heavy wind, and the blue-colored qi transformed into a typhoon.
With a heavy current, the water pushed out the crimson tide and dispersed it.
Without losing momentum, it aggressively pushed toward the red Villa disciple.
The disciple screamed. "Crimson shield! Crimson shield! Crimson shield!." He created three ten-meter shields to defend himself from Rexi's Killing move, but the three shields were destroyed.
Though it reduced the potency of the attack, the evil sect cultivator has exhausted his defense and does not have the time to use another defensive technique.
Suddenly, two defensive crimson shields appeared in front of the evil sect disciple, which helped him to delay the attack. Allowing him to use another three crimson shield techniques to completely stop the attack.
"Huff. Huff.." the red Villa sect disciple was sweating as he breathed heavily. He has thoroughly exhausted his qi.
"Lord, are you alright?" the person who helped him to delay the attack for him to respond asked.
He is an old man of sixty to sixty-five. He has white and grey hair on his temple.
"Thank you, Jim Gen." The evil sect cultivator said to him after recovering enough strength to stand stably.
"My honor Lord Hinge"
The Red Villa sect disciple then asked. "What about the demon beast."
Dead was the reply he received.
He grinned as he looked towards the distance to Rexi escaping and being chased by six qi accumulating rank cultivator.
The moment that the unexpected crimson shield delayed his ultimate move, he was sure they were in deep shit because the qi condensation rank cultivator and six qi accumulating rank cultivator have finished battling the leopard beast.
He, with his exhausted body, ran to where Zeron and the others were fighting the body refining rank evil sect cultivators; he killed four of them and shouted to Zeron and the others.
"Split off! And escape in different directions."
But before they could register what he meant, a fast arrow penetrated Sila's throat.
Zaike roared as he rushed towards where the arrow came from. Before he could reach there, four middle-aged men attacked him.
He could not resist. He was divided into four places.
The middle-aged men and the one who fired the arrow are all qi accumulating rank cultivators.
The cultivators who were left behind to fight the heavily injured rank two leopard beast, which is suspected to be dead now.
The others were angry as they saw Zaike being killed. They could only retreat in different directions to scatter their pursuers.
Zeron escaped with Sake while carrying the mortal reliance sect disciple, and the others escaped in different directions.
The six qi accumulating rank cultivator pursued Rexi, who was exhausted, while the qi condensation rank cultivator stayed to protect the red Villa sect disciple till he recovered his qi.
The other body refining rank cultivator chased Zeron and the others.
