The fact that the first to attack was the princess and that too a sneak attack shocked many.
It was a simple punch coated with Phoenix flames. The punch was firm with little to no loopholes to exploit, this showed her firm foundation in combat yet this isn't what drew my attention, the bright red flames reminded me of my master's training that bordered on torture.
Almost instinctively, I used one of my self made skills,'black hole'.
An ominous air spread throughout the area and a primal fear gripped the heart of the little Phoenix, without a second thought she immediately burnt her origin blood and escaped the pulling force that had started to increase in strength. Just as she'd escaped the force,the ground, air and anything within a two meters radius of the attack was devoured leaving nothing but some sparce spiritual energy and an awkward Alex hanging in the air.
" l know I overreacted a bit there but don't worry, I'll go easier on the rest of you" ,these words that should have made the heirs calm down only managed to stock their anger ,crashing the growing fear towards this bastard. rekindling the fire in their hearts to fight.
At the speed of sound , a white blurr flashed to me as aloud reverberating roar sounded out .
This punch surpassed the previous one from before, it not only possesses the right amount of force to kill me it also has the will and intent to do so.
I'd just used black hole and had no footing to receive the punch or dodge it effectively so I simply jumped in front of it and prevented the full force of the punch from being released this not only made the white tiger receive internal injuries but also distracted him for a split second allowing me to counter with a quick jab to his chest delivered with my killing intent and my entire body weight.
This moved from being a simple jab to me punching through his chest ,just as my hand passed through his skin and flesh he transformed into a combination between a tiger and man reducing the amount of damage and just as I was taking back my arm,the brat grabbed me by the hand not letting go.
That's when I realized, I'd not only challenged the heirs but also everyone present and what I saw when I looked back made a chill run down my spine counter to heat that hit his face, let alone the phoenixes even the damn blue luwan race and any other race except the dragon race shot their long ranged attacks at us,it they had really lost their reason due to the bloodlust and killing intent me and the little tiger were producing.
The attack reached me with in seconds , with no place to place to hide it seemed as though I was destined for death.
Looking at the white tiger standing on its two legs like a human with a calm face as though it was all with in his control , a crazy grin appeared on my face for a brief moment as I remembered my master creating an art that allowed one complete control of one's physical body but he hadn't practiced it that much after initial mastery yet at this moment he had to accomplish a feat worthy of complete mastery.
Alex took the chance and controlled the size of his body turning himself into a centimeter long human figure that crawled into the hole his hand had just made.
Right as all this was happening, the attacks arrived and destroyed the area around the tiger but it was left unharmed as talisman light shone around it yet that wasn't what was on it's mind at the moment, that lbastard had crawled into the wuound on her chest won't he find out her secret.
Jumping out the other side , Alex's face was bright red, turning around to find an angry tiger that he had now found out was a tigress ,certain thoughts couldn't help but pass through his head but were quickly suppressed when an angry phoenix sucker punched him hollering'pervert'.
Guess as a girl, she'd know the tiger's secret , no wonder it was beautiful to the point of jealousy.
Coming back to reality and looking at the two females with red eyes close to tears, he felt an illusion of an arrow piercing my heart when a hint of disgust flashed through their eyes.
Cooling down our young hero immediately jumped into the crowd that had led to all this and started what would one day be called the day of the black Hydra.
From long range spells to close combat styles of fighting, Alex used them all yet as time went on , more and more people joined the battle all with different goals, it reached a point where using new inspiration from battle, Alex combined his knowledge on martial arts and his masters body control art to form another martial art ,one of his own in line with his dao to devour.
He devoured all the martial arts he'd learned and the knowledge of control of both body energy and soul to create said art.
As all this was happening, a shinny crimson Aura rapped around him,a sign of martial enlightenment as behind him, a man hovered behind him with a circular beam of light behind him. By the time it had formed completely, everyone fell into a daze as comprehension from the current battle started to fuse into them especially those currently fighting. This encouraged a full on assault as this was an opportunity for a psuedo sort of enlightenment.
