"I'll end this right now, servant of that useless man!"
The moment h activated a technique, a large amount of energy gathered in his trident as he grasped it with both of his hands.
The energy that came from the trident had an overwhelming pressure and it created gusts of wind around the area.
Siphyr stared at him as he prepared his attack with no intention to interfere. Then, he suddenly said.
"You're right it is indeed time to end this worthless match." Siphyr mumbled in low voice but it was still clearly heard by the people, including Joseph.
They stared at him waiting for what kind of attack he will use to clash with Joseph's overwhelming energy.
The difference between their cultivation was clear at this point. However, Siphyr still didn't do anything even after saying those words.
He only stood still like a log, not moving an inch and waited for the attack. The gathering of energy soon reached its peak and a wide smile could clearly be seen in Joseph's exhausted face.
'Aquilon Gale Slash!'
He executed a powerful horizontal slash with the trident, channeling kinetic energy from your body into the weapon, and amplifying its cutting force. The trident slash cut through the air as he rushed at him.
Yet, Siphyr still didn't move and met his attack, his trident which was previously only able to pierce through its opponent by the point. Now had a blade shape energy coating it as he slashed down.
Swoosh!
The slashed cut through the air and the sound of air being cut sounded before an even more terrifying sound of a flesh tearing off was made.
Thud!
Siphyr's left arm fell to the ground and blood spurted out from his cleaved arm. However, Joseph didn't stop there and continued with another attack.
He used all his strength and the momentum from the previous attack to strike Siphyr's body.
Once again the sound of flesh tearing and bones cracking could be heard around the area.
Thud!
The dead body now fell on the ground and Siphyr's dead body laid lifeless.
Joseph fell to his butt seeing this, he was exhausted as he exerted all of his strength on that attack. He could feel no breath coming from the body so he was sure that Siphyr was dead.
He felt relieved but the silence made him awry. He didn't feel any hostility or even the killing intent from before. It was too quiet until a laugh resounded.
"Hahahaha!" It came from Diane who laughed, she was clearly more energetic judging from her tone rather than being aggrieved.
Joseph wanted to turn around but he stopped when he heard the sound of something like ash getting carried by the wind.
Siphyr's body...
... was slowly disintegrating.
A chill soon ran down his spine sending shivers throughout his body. He felt fear but mostly.... he felt death approaching.
Feeling a presence behind him he turned around and following his movement was the voice of a man he just killed.
"Myriad Illusions, quite a powerful cloning technique don't you think?" Siphyr questioned Joseph's head through telepathy but he was so shocked that he couldn't even respond.
At this moment, Joseph Leviathan... felt fear. He was toyed with by a man much weaker than him. He thought he had killed him but it was all in his head.
'Such a terrifying ability...' Joseph thought before his head was cleanly cut off his neck. He was beheaded and the cut was smooth enough to pause the blood for a few seconds before it splattered around.
But that wasn't the end yet. Siphyr knew the protective measures the demon kings have on their children.
It was clear to him because his father told him this information when he was young.
That's why, he entered the flow state in a few seconds after Joseph's 'death', and activated his sixth sense that could only be normally used by people at the terminal phase.
"He's escaping... and he's heading towards the direction of their sect." Siphyr expression turned dark and Liliane along with Diane came to his side.
"Please, open a portal outside Envy's sect." He said and immediately a portal appeared in front of him after Liliane tore through space.
Meanwhile, Joseph's soul that was connected to a Life table in the sect was moving towards them at breakneck speed.
His speed was much faster than the speed of sound. He wanted to laugh but the shivers he felt made her hesitate.
"There's only a few miles before the sect. After this, I will be able to have a new body!" He cheered, even if it was a disgrace, he still wanted to live.
Meanwhile, outside the sect of envy, a portal appeared and three people came out of it.
As Siphyr and the others appeared they could hear the commotion inside the sect, as if some alarm had gone off.
"They must have noticed that the alarm has gone off because someone who is a child of the demon king got killed." He said and continued, "However, if he thinks he could escape from me just because no one in this continent can see or touch a soul..."
"Then, I'm afraid he has bad luck running into me." He said, a charming smile formed in his mouth and the other two couldn't help but look at him.
Siphyr spread his sixth sense as much as he could and waited. After a while, he felt a soul entering the sect at lightning speed. He smiled.
"Got you..." Then, he disappeared from his spot as he activated his movement technique. Even the other two didn't expect him to enter the sect without any hesitation.
The moment Siphyr entered the sect, he saw a miniscule soul and rushed to grab it with his hands. The fear in Joseph's soul skyrocketed as he saw Siphyr approaching with his hand reached out.
He tried to escape but ultimately he landed in Siphyr's grasp unable to escape.
Naturally, since an intruder came inside the sect without permission and even grabbed the soul of a young master.
A dozen portals opened surrounding Siphyr and all of them were in the third realm. Even disciples of the sect began to surround him with weapons in their hands.
Finally, as they surrounded Siphyr, a much more terrifying pressure and someone even more powerful than everyone there appeared.
He appeared without notice and he stood in the sky, looking down below as if they were ants.
"Young man, it seems that you have the soul of his highness's child in your hands. Why don't you give it to me and I can let you go unscathed?" He said, his voice was calm and held no hostility.
However, Siphyr replied, "I'm afraid I can't do that, we fought a Life Exchange duel and he lost to me. If he thinks he could escape from using the life tablet then..."
"He's just delaying his death. He's already in my grasp and I can kill him at any moment and you people wouldn't even be able to react." He said, and Siphyr glanced at his hand.
He's provocative words caused everyone to look at him with a frown. To disrespect them in their own sect, killing intent swarmed Siphyr from all directions.
The people at the third also look at him warily and observe his every move. But they couldn't even see any bit of hesitation or fear in Siphyr's eyes and even with all the killing intent from the disciples, he was still calm as a rock.
The grand elder above the sky frowned, if he isn't able to retrieve the soul of the young master from a young man, then he would most likely disgrace the sect.
However, he couldn't do anything as he was afraid the soul would be destroyed accidentally if he attacked.
He couldn't see it but he could feel it using the life tablet of the young master.
"Young man, I will give you one last chance to give me the soul of his young master. If you don't... then, don't even think of escaping here alive." He said hostility finally showed in his eyes.
But Siphyr remained calm and reached out his hands and said, "As I've said before, this man lost to me in a Life Exchange duel, so..." He stopped talking and slowly he tightened his grip.
The soul in his hands was slowly being crushed and was ultimately destroyed in front of their eyes. "... isn't it natural that he should die in my hands?" He said with a smile and suddenly attacks from all directions came at it.
But he still didn't move and activated one of his techniques.
'Nihility.'
All of the attacks from the elders and disciples passed through him, although he still could feel the pain as a setback.
The moment that was done, where Siphyr stood was now crater a few meters deep. However, they weren't able to see Siphyr from the smoke but they all knew that would die from that attack.
But unlike all of them, the grand elder above the sky frowned, he didn't attack but anyone would've have died from that bombardement.
The reason he frowned was because he could still feel the presence of the young man and... two more powerful people.
The moment the smoke cleared out two women could be seen standing by his side and Siphyr stood without any injuries.
This shocked all of them including the elders and they grimaced.
"Siphyr, that old man in the sky is much stronger than me and unless Diane and I fight him to the death, we will ultimately lose." Liliane said telepathically to Siphyr and he nodded his head.
"It's fine, you don't need to fight." He replied.
"Siphyr, Liliane... That old man is preparing an attack!" Suddenly Diane's voice resounded in their minds and a powerful energy originated in the sky.
A giant whirlpool formed and a blue dragon could be seen swimming in it. The large amount of energy coming from the whirlpool put pressure over everyone as the sect elders covered their disciples with protection.
"Are you sure about that?" Siphyr's voice called out and asked. His voice was playful causing the elder to pause.
He smiled and looked towards the elder. There was only one way they could escape here without getting his wives hurt.
Ultimately, he planned to reveal his identity in the continental tournament but it wouldn't change the results even if he revealed it now.
Slowly his 'face' deformed and was erased from existence. Following it, a new one formed which caused the elder to greatly frown and his expression turned dark.
"If you still want to attack... then shouldn't your sect prepare for war?" He questioned, the smile on his face never left instead, it became even more charming and handsome.
