Everyone in the coliseum was surprised looking behind the unconscious Chen Kai who was lying on the floor in a fetal position
A couple of meters next to Chen Kai was a man standing with his arms crossed watching Chen Wen with a cold smile. The man was tall (around 1.85 m(6.0ft)) and handsome with short black spiky hair with some strands of red hair, he had a very muscular body above an average cultivator even his strong arms had veins protruded, His eyes were onyx color, something very uncommon in the Primordial Domain just like his brown skin. He wears a strange black and red vest with a gray tank top under it, black pants with black boots, and a couple of black wristbands. Suddenly *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* the man starts to clap in a very sarcastic way in the middle of the platform making everyone who was seeing him frown, after all, his claps sound in all the coliseum, it won't be a surprise that someone outside it could hear them as well
' From where did he appear? And why I couldn't notice him? ' Thought the old man named Chen Kang or as others call him Elder Kang on the top of the Coliseum with a scowling expression
The man stops his applause and with a cold smile, he sees the top of the coliseum specifically the three men, and says " Well, well, well, it seems that all the people in this place enjoy watching their own family suffer, but what should I expect from cultivators? " Some of the people around the platform began to sweat when they saw his smile, their instincts yelled at them, danger, that man was making most of the people in the coliseum terrified just by his smile
But others maintained calm behavior like Chen Wen who was seeing the man with a serious expression ' From where did he come from? I just blinked and in the next moment he was standing there ' then he asked with prudence trying to not offend a possible powerful man " Who are you? Why are you here? " He said as he started to scan the man's cultivation level just like a few others present there
The man stops seeing the three men and turns to see Chen Wen with a very cold face saying " Shut up " The moment the man said that the most powerful ones near already showed smiles of disdain seeing the man
' Weakling fool, I don't know what cheap trick he used to appear like that but Wen'er is enough to kill that kind of trash easily ' Thought Elder Kang with a cold smile as he crossed his arms, but he never sat again
" Idiot " Said the youngest middle-aged man named Chen Liu, he shook his head with a mocking smile
The man in the middle named Chen Fen just smiled slightly watching his son and the man. A little bit later, Chen Wen noticed that the man didn't have outstanding Cultivation, he was even weaker than Chen Kai, so he started to laugh mockingly at the man " Haha, you are just a weakling! I don't know why did you interrupt the battle, but I will show you some manners! " Chen Wen covers his sword with bright white energy making some in the coliseum say with surprise " Sword Intent! That's amazing as expected of the son of the patriarch of the Chen clan " A man in the crowd yelled with amazement then Chen Wen charged toward the man at full speed thinking with a cruel smile ' Let me test this power on you '
The man smiled with disdain to the surprise of many who were seeing him then *SWOOSH* in less than a second he appeared in front of Chen Wen making him open his eyes wide in astonishment but before he could even react the man swung his right palm towards Chen Wen's face making his arm look blurry by how fast he moved it and *SLAP* he slapped him so loud that it resounded in the entire arena. The slap sent Chen Wen flying away from the platform until he crashed into one of the walls of the coliseum in a matter of seconds, while his sword bounced on the man's head when he released it, despite that the sword didn't do anything to him and it just fell on the ground. All the people in the coliseum were silent and some were even open-mouthed unable to process what just happened. The silence lasted in the arena for a few seconds until some yelled " Wen'er!! "
Elder Kang, Chen Liu, and Chen Fen shouted with furious expressions, and the first one to rush toward Chen Wen was Elder Kang followed closely by Chen Fen while Chen Liu stayed still watching the strange man with a face full of anger
Elder Kang and Chen Fen arrived next to Chen Wen and when they saw that Chen Wen was unconscious with his head, mouth, and nose bleeding they turned to see the man with wrath " You bastard! Hand me over your life! " Yelled Elder Kang, and he and Chen Fen dashed toward the man just like Chen Liu, who jumped from the top of the Coliseum and dashed towards the man just like them, he was surrounded by a light blue aura just like Elder Kang and Chen Fen
" .... " The man just grins slightly seeing their reactions then he puts his eyes on Elder Kang and whispers " The strongest one here is you "
Chen Liu was the first one to get close to the man he only took a couple of seconds to do it " DIE! " He yelled wanting to punch the man's head with his right fist as strong as he could, but suddenly the man whispered with a cold smile " Weaklings "
Then *BOOM* the ground where he was standing exploded after the man moved his left leg a bit, leaving Elder Kang and Chen Fen dumbfounded while Chen Liu was forced to cover his face with his arms " Ah! " Yelled the spectators that were closer to the platform after the man's jump caused a small explosion that raised dust and sent debris towards them " Bastard " Said Chen Liu who was still covering his face with his arms, Chen Kai's body rolled onto the platform, but he never regained his consciousness then *SWOOSH* The man disappeared
' ...?! ' Elder Kang and Chen Fen didn't know where the man went until *PUM* " UGH! " Elder Kang received a kick in the face that broke his nose and sent him backward like a cannonball ' What?! ' Yelled Chen Fen mentally, after all, he was running with his father for a second, and the next second his father disappeared leaving a trail of blood behind
Elder Kang was flying toward the crowd behind him who was still watching the situation " Father!! " Yelled Chen Liu who saw what happened Chen Fen turned around and saw his father flying. The crowd that was behind Elder Kang shook with fear when they saw him fly towards them with great speed feeling that they were about to be crushed by the old man's body, but suddenly the man moved again, moving even faster than Elder Kang who was flying backward and he appeared between two men that were sitting and they watched him with surprise and fear. Elder Kang turns around to raise his guard in midair when he sees that the man is waiting for him and when he arrives next to the man, the man gives him an uppercut and *PAM* *CRACK* " Aaah! " Elder Kang's arms broke by the punch, and he was sent flying upwards by the punch
" ...! " Chen Fen was in shock, but still he was moving towards the man just like Chen Liu who was just as surprised as him. The elders at the top of the coliseum were in shock and the people who didn't have anything to do with the Chen Clan started to leave the coliseum in a panic
The man jumps towards Elder Kang who is now in the sky appearing in front of him in a flash, he spins, and *PAM* kicks Elder Kang back with his right leg " Ugh! " The kick broke some of Elder Kang's bones causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood and sending him flying one more time outside the Chen Clan Compound and the city, to fall into the dense forest finally
Chen Fen and Chen Liu watched the man with surprise, waiting for him to fall as the man was still in the air, the man turned to see to his left with a faint smile as he whispered " Another one? At least that one is a little bit stronger "
The man lands between Chen Fen and Chen Liu with a confident smile. Chen Fen and Chen Liu there were gritting their teeth with frustration, suddenly the other elders finally moved to surround the man as well but no one dared to attack him first, after all, the man emitted a strange huge pressure nothing that they had experienced before, that pressure makes them feel completely powerless the closer they get to the man
' Elder Kang was beaten so easily! He is a monster! ' Thought an Elder, he hasn't moved at all, then he sees Chen Liu and Chen Fen just like the other elders and thinks ' No one here has the power to beat that man, just who the hell is he? And what is he doing here? '
' What are we going to do now? Who in the Chen Clan brought the wrath of such existence ' Thought Chen Fen with frustration and fear watching the man in front of him
The man keeps watching the sky with a faint smile and the oppressive aura that he was emitting suddenly disappeared making Chen Fen and the others relax a bit as the man crosses his arms and speaks with a cocky grin " You can attack me together if you want, besides someone has come to help you "
Chen Fen and the others turned to see in the direction where the man was seeing, and they were surprised ' Hmm? That's...? ' Thought Chen Fen with amazement and relief seeing the sky, and he wasn't the only one the others were smiling seeing the sky
Someone approached flying until he hovered above them, it was an old man. The old man was seeing the handsome man with a slight frowning expression. He has white long hair, a long white beard, and dark blue eyes. He is tall (around 1.90m(6.2ft)) and athletic, but he has a missing arm, the left arm to be specific, the old man wears a white and gold Hanfu with a dragon on the right side of his chest, and he rolls his left sleeve to the shoulder without trying to hide his missing arm
" It's the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sect! The Supreme Elder is here! " Said an Elder with a surprised smile ' He will deal with this bastard ' Thought another Elder with a confident smile when he saw the expressionless face of the man
The Supreme Elder keeps his eyes on the man with a serious face as he lands a few meters in front of him like he is inspecting everything about him from his face to his cultivation. Chen Fen and the others moved back, enough to give them a great space to fight but just when they did that the man smirked coldly making the Supreme Elder open his eyes wide in surprise then the Supreme Elder bowed his head towards the man surprising everyone who was watching him
The man sees him with a frowning expression and the Supreme Elder says with his head bowed and a humble voice " May I trouble senior to tell me what are your intentions here? " all the presents turn to see the man with wonder and fear
The man frowns with doubt seeing the Supreme Elder and says " Have we met before old man? because I doubt it "
The Supreme Elder shakes his head slowly to then say " No, but I'm sure that you are something of someone known as the Golden Tyrant "
' The Golden Tyrant!? ' Thought Chen Fen, Chen Liu, and the Elders seeing the Supreme Elder with amazement after all they had heard about the Golden Tyrant, but all of them thought that he was an invention something made to scare kids
The man makes an expression of uncertainty seeing the old man " Golden Tyrant? " then he makes a cold smile " Heh, the Golden Tyrant, haha, so they called him like that here, well what is more surprising is that you are one of his survivors, I have heard about them but this is my first time seeing one "
The Supreme Elder sees the man with his face sweating a bit, but despite that, he makes a slight smile as he says " Then I was right, I will ask senior humbly to calm down your wrath and don't go on a killing spree in the whole region, I will offer everything I have to please you " Chen Fen, Chen Liu and the Elders become even more nervous hearing the Supreme Elder they start to watch the man with even more fear than before
The man narrows his eyes with annoyance and says " I'm not here to kill anyone old man, those fools attacked me first and that is the price for that "
The Supreme Elder turns to see where the unconscious Chen Wen is ' He is saying the truth the boy is still alive and the other one... I can still feel his spirit essence ' then he asked humbly again " Then what is your purpose here? "
" Hehe " the man chuckles and says " Well... " he points at the unconscious Chen Kai on the platform and says with a smile " I'm here for him "
The Supreme Elder saw where the man was pointing and when he saw Chen Kai he recognized him immediately, after all, he knew every member of his sect and he was one of those who knew about Chen Kai's condition and the reason why Chen Kai never become an inner disciple so he turned to see the man with doubt and say " Chen Kai? why? "
The man shakes his head with a small mocking smile as he says " That's my problem, old man " Then he walks towards the platform passing beside the Supreme Elder who watches him with a calm but nervous expression but the man just ignores him like he is ignoring the others. He walked until he arrived next to Chen Kai " Alright " he grabbed Chen Kai with his left hand and put him above his right shoulder
The man turns around and sees Chen Fen with a cold smirk that makes Chen Fen shiver slightly then he says " I will take this guy with me, you don't have any objections, right? "
Chen Fen turns to see the Supreme Elder then the Supreme Elder nods and Chen Fen says " You can take him but he is a cripple so he isn't worth a second of your time, sir "
The smile on the man's face disappears making Chen Fen a little nervous but the man just says " So? "
Everyone who heard him made expressions of doubt, and then one person approached them walking It was a middle-aged man with shoulder-length silver hair and a short silver beard, he had light blue eyes and an athletic constitution, and he wore a black Hanfu with dark blue stripes. He bows his head and says " Senior, are you planning to train Chen Kai despite he is a cripple? "
Chen Fen turns to see him with surprise and says " Ying Shen since when you are here? "
Ying Shen didn't speak to him he just watched the man making a calm expression as the man watches him with an expressionless face but the rest of them confirmed that Ying Shen's words were accurate
' Really? Then he must have a way to heal Chen Kai's condition and break Dantian ' Thoughts everyone who knows about Chen Kai's condition
" Then senior you can take my daughter instead, she has greater potential and strength, thrashes like him aren't worth being trained by someone as magnificent as you " Said Ying Shen with his head bowed but...
" No " Said the man to Ying Shen with a very cold face. Ying Shen turned to see the man with surprise and when he saw the man's face it made him hesitate but he gained the guts and asked once again with his head bowed " Can I ask you why senior? You see my daughter is the strongest female in her generation besides she isn't even 20, so I'm sure that she will be a better option than him "
The man starts to frown with annoyance and says to him " Tell me something, your daughter's name is Chen Kai? "
Ying Shen shakes his head slightly not daring to raise his head and see the man in the eyes " No, sir, but it isn't better to take someone better than a completely useless cripple? "
The man was getting angrier with each word of disgust that Ying Shen had said but he only is showing his feelings through his eyes and the only one who noticed that was the Supreme Elder, who thought seeing Ying Shen with anger ' What is this fool doing? he wants us to be killed? ' the Supreme Elder thought for a second to shut Ying Shen and save their lives, but something told him to just stay quiet and see how the man will act
The man sees Ying Shen with an expressionless face but he says in a very cold voice " Say one more thing and I will destroy you "
" ... " Ying Shen kept his head bowed and nodded taking a few steps back. Then the man started to hover with Chen Kai on his shoulder, as he was rising in the sky, the elders, Chen Fen, and Chen Liu watched him with surprise ' He is at least a Half-Step Spiritual Lord cultivator, no, he must be even more powerful than that but how he can hide that enormous power? ' Thought Chen Fen as he sees him
The Supreme Elder just keeps looking at him with a calm expression as Ying Shen does, but both are still a little nervous on the inside ' He isn't hiding anything about his plans with Chen Kai after all he has nothing to fear, that means that his strength must be around the same level of that monster ' The Supreme Elder couldn't help to see him as the memory engraved in his heart, the person who he feared the most, he couldn't remember his face completely maybe it was because of how much time had passed but that cold smile and heartless demeanor was enough to compare the two of them, despite that this young man in front of him has black hair and the one who he remembers has a golden hair waving like a raging fire
The man stopped a few meters above the platform and said with a small smile " Oh! I almost forgot it, you see, if this guy here is like me after he completes his training he will surely come back to kill some of you, maybe all of you, who knows "
" ....!!! " The Elders and Chen Fen have their eyes wide with surprise but they didn't dare to say anything to the man, they thought that it was a matter of time until their Clan would perish, after all, Chen Kai would have a monstrous master on his side protecting him until he becomes strong enough to exterminate the whole clan
As those thoughts filled their heads, the man saw their faces with full despair and smiled mockingly that's when he spoke again " You don't have to worry, I'm not going to protect him from anyone who tries to kill him, if he dies it will be his problem for being weak "
" Wha... " All the ones that were seeing the man, opened their eyes in surprise seeing him but the Supreme Elder just frowned a little it seemed that he was expecting something like that
The man starts to laugh seeing the shocked expressions " Hahaha, You still have some time to kill him before he gets stronger, of course, if you manage to find him before that happens " Then he starts to hover again that's when the Supreme Elder says " May I know your name senior? "
The man turns to see the Supreme Elder and says with a small smile " My name is Shallot " Then *BANG* a blue aura surrounds him and *ZOOM* he flies away with incredible speed causing a thunderous roar
The Elders keep watching the sky even when the man disappears from their sight, but Chen Fan runs towards his unconscious son as he says " Chen Liu, go help our father quick! " Chen Liu nods and leaves at high speed with the elders running behind him
Chen Fen kneels next to Chen Wen's bloody body but before he can touch him the Supreme Elder says " He will be okay, his injuries aren't a threat to his life "
Chen Fen turns to see the Supreme Elder and nods, then the Supreme Elder continues " I will take Chen Wen as my disciple from now on "
Chen Fen widened his eyes in surprise, then he stood and bowed his head " Thank you for your kindness Supreme Elder it will be an honor but the problem is... " But before he finished his sentence the Supreme Elder talked once again" Chen Kai, he will come back for all of you, I'm sure of that "
" ... " Chen Fen bows his head with a face full of frustration as he clenches his fists
The Supreme Elder kneels and carries Chen Wen then he turns to see Chen Fen and says " The only hope you have is that you kill him before he gets as strong as his master because if he obtains that kind of power, he will eventually, no one here will be able to stop him, not even me "
Chen Fen makes a cold face and says " I will do everything I can to kill him before that happens "
The Supreme Elder nods and says " With my help, Chen Wen will increase his cultivation by leaps and bounds, he will become a great help to your clan "Then the Supreme Elder turns around and walks away with Chen Fen walking behind him. The Supreme Elder continues " Now let's keep this a secret from any outsiders, we even have to silence those who came to watch the battles "
Chen Fen is surprised and says with doubt " What? why? "
" Supreme Elder, he mentioned the Golden Tyrant I thought it was just a legend, a tale to scare children but it seems that it's true " Chen Fen said with a serious expression but before the Supreme Elder say anything Ying Shen approached them and say " ' The Golden Tyrant the strongest and most ruthless warrior that had lived, he kills everyone who dares to cross his way, being men or woman as he eradicates cities and empires, thanks to his hate for badly behaved children ' " The Supreme Elder and Chen Fen turned to see Ying Shen with frowning expressions then Ying Shen continues " Thats part of the tale that my father told me when I was a kid, as well there are books about it too but at the end of them the Golden Tyrant died when he fought against a supreme cultivator, but that's a lie, no, Supreme Elder? "
The Supreme Elder nods slightly saying " Yes is a lie, a tale for children, but still it has some truth in it as most tales "
Chen Fen frowns and says with a serious expression " But he isn't the Golden Tyrant, right? that means the real one must be still alive " The Supreme Elder just shakes his head " We can't be so sure It has been centuries since he disappeared that Shallot must be his son or his apprentice, still he could be just as strong as him, he was very confident like no one in this world could do anything to him.... he even told us his plans and name without any care, he doesn't seem to have anything to fear "
Chen Fen grits his teeth with frustration and fear then he turns to see Ying Shen who seems to be very calm with the situation so he says to him in anger " Ying Shen! you know that he will come here, how?! "
Ying Shen turns to see him with a calm face and says " I came for what my daughter did yesterday, to offer an apology, it's just a huge confidence that's all, what you are implying doesn't make any sense, I just want the best for my daughter "
" ... " Chen Fen was still frowning as he saw him but didn't say anything else
The Supreme Elder turns around and says " I will tell you something both of you, he maybe isn't the Golden Tyrant, I know him from 400 years ago but I warn you, Ying Shen, don't try to mess with him again "
Ying Shen shakes his head slightly and says respectfully " I won't do that again Supreme Elder "
The Supreme Elder sees him for a couple of seconds and thinks ' He doesn't seem to be lying about it, but still he knew about his arrival to the Chen clan, how? Could it be thanks to the old man Shen? but how he could predict that even I couldn't feel his presence and the reason why am I here was to take Chen Wen as an apprentice' The Supreme Elder closed his eyes and sighed then Chen Fen said " Supreme Elder, you fought the Golden Tyrant? if that's the case can you tell me how it ended? "
The Supreme Elder sees him and says " I guess that the two of you have heard about the great war that happened 400 years ago? "
" Do you mean the war for the artifact of the Gods?! Where countless sects and empires fought for it!? " Chen Fen yelled in doubt
The supreme elder shakes his head and says " The war was a lie, the artifact never existed, the point is that all those who participated in that 'war' were there to hunt down a single young man, the one that later will be known as the Golden Tyrant " The supreme elder begins to walk having a grim expression and says " I will tell you the full story once we leave but hear this you can't divulge this information lightly if you do panic and fear will spread like fire "
Chen Fen was in shock seeing the Supreme Elder's back not able to say a word then the Supreme Elder said " And from now on Chen Kai is dead, no matter who asks, he is dead, understood? we have to hunt him down, maybe that way that monster Shallot will leave, he doesn't seem to be very caring about him "
Chen Fen and Ying Shen said at the same time " Yes, Supreme Elder " and they left the arena
While the Supreme Elder makes a serious expression as he thinks ' No matter what Chen Kai has to die or things could end as they did 400 years ago '
