The sky continued shifting from daylight to pitch darkness as both Masters fought in the sky. The others from the Myriad storm sect below them wore grim expressions as they focused on the middle aged man quite hovered in the battlefield and none of the shockwaves had an effect on him. None of them was unfamiliar with the Ghosthand Emperor who their master couldn't defeat on his own. If he joined hands with Dominion Emperor, he could even lose his life and if that happened there was only one outcome for the Myriad storm sect. Annihilation!
"Time to end this" A deep voice suddenly rang out almost in a whisper but even the weakest among everyone present was a tier 2 sword Master with enhanced hearing capabilities so they could clearly hear what Ghosthand Emperor said.
Ghosthand suddenly vanished and appeared beside Dominion Emperor as he hurled a spear conjured directly with the energy of darkness. Myriad storm Emperor also reacted almost instantly and also hurled his spear at the incoming attack.
A powerful shockwave spread out as the two attacks collided. The shockwave was so powerful that both army had to retreat over 100 meters to keep themselves safe. As the dust cleared, what came into everyone's line of vision was Myriad storm Emperor who had been forced back with his HP decreased by roughly 5%.
Ghosthand emperor didn't stop his attack but instead stepped forward as he casted three tier 4 curses at the Myriad storm Emperor who hurriedly brandished his spear to defend against the attack. But the exchange decreased his HP by another 10%. The Healers below frantically bestowed healing spells on him but the rate at which his HP fell was faster.
In less than five minutes, his HP had already been decreased by half and the situation was still not looking optimistic for him.
Another attack from the Ghosthand emperor repelled him backwards until he reached the ground. His remaining HP this time was only 40%. The attack was a tier 4 curses which rendered the enemy paralyzed for five minuted.
"I guess the end is inevitable" Myriad storm Emperor muttered sadly. He had succeeded the previous Sect master of the Myriad storm sect and under his leadership, the sect had grown to become one of the overlords of Sky cloud city. But all this achievements was going to crumble once he died. As much as he wanted to overcome this ordeal, he couldn't even lift his spear. Should the next attack connect, he might truly lose his life.
Ghosthand emperor who saw that his opponent cannot muster any defense anytime seized the chance to launch a tier 4 taboo curse whose power even rivals some powerful tier 5 spells. This attack was more than enough to completely destroy the defenseless Myriad storm Emperor who had no choice but to silently as the spell gradually tipped closer to him.
"Sect Master!" The other tier 4 Emperors of the Myriad storm sect shouted as they moved forward to block the curse launch by the Ghosthand Emperor.
Although the curse was successfully blocked, the other Emperors from the Dominion sect were triggered into action they attacked the emperors from the Myriad storm sect. Another round of battle thus began.
Ghosthand emperor quietly passed admist the chaos of the battles and approached Myriad storm Emperor who was still under the paralyzed status. The emperors panicked when they saw this and wanted to save their sect Master but their hands were full from battling their rivals from the Dominion sect.
"Die now" Ghosthand emperor said icily as he conjured a spell in his left hand and prepared to attack the Myriad storm Emperor.
But suddenly he turned around and instead hauled his spell towards an attack coming towards him.
The ground trembled as both attacks collided and Ghosthand emperor could be seen retreating several steps back.
"Who?" He asked warily.
The battlefield calmed down as everyone halted their battles to look at the newcomer.
"It's you!" Nether king shouted as he pointed at a figure who donned a cloak hovering above the battlefield. Even though he just stood there quietly, his presence was so commanding that one couldn't help but notice him whose aura felt even superior to Ghosthand emperor who was the strongest on the battlefield.
"tier 3?" Everyone was bewildered not because he's a tier 3 expert but because he had such a strong aura despite being only at tier 3. Moreover his attack just now even repelled Ghosthand emperor.
"Who is he?" They all wondered.
"He's Sage yuan, a guest of the Myriad storm Emperor. He was the one who helped them defend against us previously" Nether king explained.
"So he's that mysterious sword Master who could summon a Valkyrie. How come he's at tier 3 now?" Dominion emperor asked.
"He probably got promoted..."
"You succeeded!" Silver king exclaimed excitedly.
Even Myriad storm Emperor couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief as he watched Xuanyuan hover above the battlefield. He knew well that the young man possessed extraordinary capabilities as he had mastered tier 5 Mana control as a tier 2 sword Master. His presence on the battlefield was no doubt an advantage for them.
"Who are you?" Ghosthand emperor asked cautiously. He dare not offend this person rashly without knowing his background besides he didn't seem to be inferior during their brief exchange.
"Silver king is my good friend" Xuanyuan said plainly. "And I'll advise you to cease your attacks and leave this place" he added.
"You're just a mere tier 3 King, what qualifications do you have to speak to me in this manner?" Ghosthand emperor said offended by Xuanyuan's nonchalant behavior.
"Will you leave or not?" Xuanyuan said with narrowed eyes.
"Make me" Ghosthand emperor said angrily as he conjured a death spear and hurled it at Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan didn't retreat but instead unsheathed his sword as he simply swung his sword at the incoming spear blocking it with seemingly no effort.
A shaman like Ghosthand emperor was skilled in ranged combat and had excellent speed so he could keep himself away from melee opponents and slowly whittle down their HP with his curses. But little did he know that Xuanyuan was the bane of all classes and fighting from a long distance wasn't a difficulty for him.
Apart from having superior combat standards and Mana control, their Mana bodies aren't even in the same league and if one had to guess what chance Ghosthand had to emerge victorious, it was ZERO!
Ghosthand emperor waved his hand and a dark chain appeared on it which radiated a menancing aura that warned others to stay away at all costs. This chain was one that attacks the soul and could even heavily injure a player's immortal spirit it got struck. There'd be no doubt deadly consequences if that happened.
But Xuanyuan wasn't even deterred as he casually deflected the chain with his sword which generated sparks that struck any point on the battlefield. Thankfully everyone had moved back in advance or dying would be the least of their worries if they got struck...
