"Truly an ignorant monkey, your martial spirit suits you well ." Said Curtis looking at the patriarch
Provoked by the words of Curtis the Ward Clan patriarch couldn't help replying
"Ignorant? Who's the truly ignorant one, The fighter blinded by his arrogance or the stronger more capable fighter. Seems like a pretty simple answer to me ." Stated the Ward clan patriarch
Suddenly a cold voice rang throughout the battlefield
"Don't you seem to be forgetting someone?" Finally, for the first time, the second hooded figure spoke removing his hood revealing the expressionless face of an old man with long white hair held in a long ponytail.
"To touch my disciple you have to deal with me first !"Exclaimed the old man
Releasing an unstoppable aura. As the old man fully unleashed his aura covering the surroundings that started causing the ground to shake and buildings to start to collapse and earth to crack
Looking at this scene in fear the Ward Clan patriarch couldn't help stutter
"This... this strength! You... You have to be in the Martial Adept realm but what are you doing in such a small region like here! Asked the Ward Clan patriarch in state of complete fear.
Not caring about the Ward Clan patriarch's mumbling The old man called out
"Come out, Devouring Demon Sabre!"
Instantly a wave of demonic energy erupted from the old man forming a humongous phantom of a bloody sabre in the sky that could be seen all over the city acting a titanic shadow and causing screams and shouts of panic to erupt all over the city.
Looking at the stunned Ward Clan Patriarch, the old man turned to him and asked with a malicious smirk.
"Any last words ?"
Stuttering the Ward Clan Patriarch responded, "plea..please spare my life!"
"Not good enough" replied the old man coldly
with a wave of his hand the gigantic sabre in the air seemed to tremble, before suddenly falling towards the Ward Clan Patriarch!
"ARRGH!!!!" in desperation, the ward clan patriarch ignited all the potential exploding in a blinding bronze light in his body.
But it was all futile in front of the unstoppable power of the elder. the gigantic bloody sabre completely crushed the bronze lights without slowing down in the slightest.
"BOOM" a horrific explosion rang out as the sabre formed a gigantic crater on impact
as the smoke cleared up the old man looked at the scene
"Pathetic. And to think he was so arrogant with such little strength!" rsaid the old man as he received the crushed remains of the Ward Clan Patriarch.
"Here Curtis, take this," said the old man as he threw the mangled body of the Ward Clan Patriarch towards Curtis
"Thank you, master! "replied Curtis before plunging his hand into the body of the ward Clan patriarch
as soon as his hand was inside the body of the ward Clan Patriarch began to shrivel up rapidly with all blood leaving his body until he became nothing but an emaciated husk of a human body.
"ahh.."
Curtis let out a sigh of pleasure as he felt a newfound strength flowing through him
"Thank you master, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to break through so easily!"
"Master, I think it is time to leave for Brightsteel city, we wouldn't want to miss the inter-clan competition."
but instead of agreeing with Curtis, a frown appeared on the face of the old man
"Curtis you seem to be forgetting something." said the old man plainly
"What would that be ?" asked Curtis puzzled
"We have just killed the patriarch of the Ward Clan forming a deep enmity with the clan. So it's a must that we clean up the Ward Clan preventing any future troubles!" said the old man in a chastising tone
"But master, they're only ignorant people and pose no threat to us " replied Curtis
Curtis's words caused the old man to frown even more " they may pose no threats to us now, but no one can guarantee the future so we must exterminate them to the roots to prevent future troubles, that is the way of our blood demon palace !"
as he said those words he walked towards the grounds of the Ward clan. Curtis could only follow after him as they walked towards the Ward Clan that was still oblivious to their imminent doom!
