"Who is this mad dog barking loudly. A dog does not block the way. Second elder, make him scram for me."
The people in the area were all shocked by the words of Sam as their expression changed. Philip's face became unsightly. As a mighty martial soul realm cultivator of the clearsky sect, he had a high status and enjoyed the respect and adoration of others. But, today a junior at the essence core realm insulted him in front of all this people calling him a mad dog. This made him feel humiliated as his anger towered the sky.
"Little brat, you dared to insult me. Today, I shall kill you".
he angrily said he directly struck him with a palm attack. Sam remained standing at the back of the thunderhawk without minding about the incoming palm attack that could easily kill him.
Boom...
A loud sound was heard as his palm attack was blocked. Second elder was standing in front of Sam protectively after blocking the palm attack as he sneered:
"A martial soul realm cultivator attacking a junior at a essence core realm. Humph..... How embarrassing. If you want to fight someone then, today I will fight with you."
The second elder took out a sword from his spatial ring as his released his aura. His cultivation base at the 9th level of martial soul realm was revealed as he locked Philips with his aura. He soared in the air as he stood at a corner of the sky away from the spectators.
"9th level of martial soul realm". Philips looked at the second elder as he felt the space around his tightening as he felt difficult to even move his body as he was the space around him was locked by the aura of second elder. He released his cultivation base which was also at the 9th level of martial soul realm as he dispersed the pressure locking him down.
"After turtling inside your shell, you still have some courage left within you, huh. Today, I shall kill you then, slay that little brat to calm my anger".
Philips also took out a long treasure spear from his spatial ring as he space around him solidified due to the pressure of the martial soul realm cultivator. He soared in the sky while radiating intense battle intent as he stood in another corner off the sky facing the second elder.
The aura of martial soul realm cultivators covered the whole area as all the weaker cultivators even felt difficult to breathe due to the suffocating pressure. Some cultivators directly fell to their knees while some were sent flying with blood trickling down their lips.
"A fight between two peak martial soul realm experts. This is going to be exciting".
Some of the strong cultivators among the spectators showed excited expression as they rubbed their palms eager to watch the fight.
In the air, Philip was releasing his aura poured his earthly energy into his treasure spear as he releasing a world destroying attack directly with his spear at the second elder. The world changed its color as the tip of the spear was heading directly for the second elder.
"Kill".
Second elder roared thunderously as he devoured all the energy around him. He raised his the sword in his hand as he slashed forward meeting the spear head on.
BOOM
A loud collision was heard was the two treasure collided with each other as destructive energy spread everywhere pushing the crowd who was already distance away further.
Philip and second elder were both pushed backward as they looked at each other.
"Unexpectedly, you still have some strength in you. Looks like I have to take you seriously after all".
Philips said as the space buzzed behind him as a large green serpent arrived behind him. The large serpent had green scales covering it's whole body and two small horns growing on its head. Its eyes had green pupils that looks liked green gem.
With the appearance of the green serpent, Philips battle prowess increased his aura turned even more oppressive. The green serpent was his martial soul that he was born after he stepped into the martial soul realm.
Second elder also turned serious as a large white sword floated behind him. The sword radiated sharpness as the space around it were cut creating small spatial vortex around it. Second elder was already strong before but after releasing his martial soul, he looked like a sword that had been unseathed ready to cut the heaven and earth down.
"Martial soul, they are already releasing their martial soul. They will be fighting for real now".
One of the strong spectator said after seeing the two fighters releasing their martial souls. Another weak cultivators who was standing behind him asked:
"Senior, you mean to say that world destroying blow that they unleashed was a warm up and only now they are starting their fight seriously? "
"Junior, you have not watched a battle between experts before,right?"
That senior asked. The weak cultivators cupped his fist at the senior cultivator as he sincerely said, "This is this junior's first time watching the fight between cultivators at the martial soul realm. So, please enlighten me".
That senior cultivator nodded as said, "When a cultivator breakthrough to the martial soul realm, a unique martial soul is born from the core formed inside their Dantian. The martial soul can be of any form, size or shape and take on the form of anything such as weapons, beasts, plants, etc which usually depends on the behaviour, personality and heart of the cultivator. The martial soul directly increases the battle prowess of the cultivator thus, it plays a significant role in a fight between martial soul realm cultivators. "
"Does that mean the martial soul also have difference in power? " Junior asked.
That senior smiled and answers, "There is difference between the martial soul of cultivators too. Some martial soul are born weak and some are born strong. Take the martial soul of the two people fighting as example, that sword shaped martial soul looks stronger than that serpent martial soul. So, the elder of the clearsky sect will be in slightly disadvantageous position in their fight".
The junior nodded as he watched the fight in the air with a serious expression.
At this time Philips was standing on the head of the serpent with a spear in his hand looking like a majestic hero going into the battlefield meanwhile second elder was calmly standing in the air radiating sharpness that sever space and time.
Second elder raised his hand as the sword behind him followed the movement of his hand as it was raised up. With the downward movement of his hand, the large sword behind him hacked down as the whole sky was cut cleanly. Philips hastily channelled his energy as his serpent martial soul fused with his body as his whole body was covered with green scaled with a tall growing begin his back.
He raised his spear and roared to block this strike as he was flung downward from the sky after clashing head-on with the sword.
BOOM
A large pit was created in the ground as the area at least hundred miles around it completely exploded as a wave of earth covered hundreds of miles around the pit.
The spectators watching the battles were instantly buried by this terrifying wave of earth as some of the weaker ones were injuired heavily while some of them fainted directly.
A bloodied and tattered Philips crawled out from the pit as some of the scales covering his body were already destroyed. He was standing by relying on the spear while panting heavily. He threw a mouthful of blood as he looked up with an unsightly expression.
The second elder who was floating in the air saw his bloodied appearance but he showed no mercy. His treasured sword fused with his martial soul as the large sword became even sharper as it started to radiate destructive energy even affecting the space around it.
"A weak person like you who could not even block a single attack dares to insult my heavenly martal sect, you deserve death. Die". Second elder said while looking down on the bloodied Philip as he attacked with his martial soul.
"Heavenly annilation".
The heaven and earth lost it colour as the large sword descended from releasing sharpness and heavy destructive energy. It fell down from the sky and landed directly as the ground where Philip was standing.
The earth was split into as the sword landed. The destructive energy swept the areas for thousands of miles as the whole area was turned into nothing leaving a large empty area.
Philips retaliated to the ultimate attack of second elder by his own ultimate attack. He turned into a gigantic green serpent as he attacked the sword with its body knowing that he could not dodge it.
His body was severed cleanly into two as his body made contact with the sword leaving behind a large corpse of a serpent severed into two equal halves on the ground.
Just like that, a might cultivator at the peak of the soul martial realm was eliminated.
Second elder recalled his martial soul as his treasure sword floated back from the destroyed ground as he calmly stored it back. He slowly returned back to stand behind Sam in the back of the thunderhawk like he had done something trivial.
The cultivators who were watching from the distance were shocked by his battle prowess. He easily killed a cultivator of his same level within three moves.
"What kind monster is that elder of the heavenly martial sect. He killed that elder of clearly sect without any effort".
A spectator watching the fight said in astonishment. Another cultivator added:
"If not for the heavenly martial sect living in seclusion inside their ancestral ground without caring about the worldly matters, he would have already become famous as one of the top master of the continent."
"With his battle prowess, he does qualify to be ranked as top master in the northern region".
Even Sam was surprised by the battle prowess of second elder. When he thought back to the matters in the past, he felt cold sweat trickling down his back. If the second elder had attacked him during their conflict in a fit of anger, he would have already become a corpse.
