Chapter 914 914 - Misunderstanding
"Ah?
"Haha!"
The crowd first went silent.
Right after, it burst with laughter; some people clutched their stomachs while others bent over, as though they had heard the greatest joke in the world.
Everyone looked at Aiden like they were looking at an idiot.
Aiden smiled as well.
In mid-air, Norl Fer's expression was menacing as he gripped his fists tightly. The two dark gold long darts around him were shuttling so quickly that they were even buzzing.
Aiden's continued obliviousness towards him was driving him nuts!
"You. Are. Courting. Death!"
The veins on Norl Fer's neck popped out and blood surged through him as he snarled word by word.
Finally.
Raising his head slightly, Aiden looked at Norl Fer and replied indifferently, "You're the one with a death wish."
"Die you little bastard!"
No longer able to tolerate, Norl Fer hollered and the power of his phenomenon burst forth immediately – two long darts turned into streaks of light that arrived instantly!
Expressionless, Aiden was not flustered and swiped his storage bag gently. A gigantic golden seal appeared in his palms with a domineering aura, as though it could suppress all things!
When they saw that gigantic golden seal, G'ang Nan, and Mo Xir's gazes turned incomparably fervent.
Any single bit of hesitance they had disappeared as well.
Everything else aside, that Top Grade artifact weapon made everything worthwhile!
Aiden's power of his Martial Master was circulating wildly inside him.
The Coiling Dragon Seal in his palm expanded swiftly with an immense brightness akin to a blazing sun. Flying away from him, it blocked in front of Aiden.
*Clang!* *Clang!*
The two streaks of dark light could not dodge in time and struck the Coiling Dragon Seal. However, they were repelled instantly!
The Coiling Dragon Seal did not budge at all.
Norl Fer shuddered and a look of fear flashed through his eyes.
That collision nearly shattered his Martial Master phenomenon!
"You want to see a Top Grade artifact weapon?"
Aiden's gaze lit up as he smiled sinisterly. "I'll let you see all you want!"
*Boom!*
Descending from the skies, the Coiling Dragon Seal turned into a gigantic golden mountain with tremendous force.
"Roar!"
The dragon roar reverberated through the world and coiled around the mountain peak, causing it to descend at a faster speed with a fiercer power and more intense aura!
Under the shroud of the Coiling Dragon Seal, many Martial Masters felt their hearts skip a beat and retreated right away.
*Snap!*
Slamming against Norl Fer's Shadow's Twin Darts, the Coiling Dragon Seal shattered the former's Martial Master phenomenon instantly!
"Pfft!"
Norl Fer shuddered and spat out a huge mouthful of blood with a battered expression.
A dark shadow engulfed Norl Fer and he could not escape at all. Utterly scared out of his wits, he crushed a protection talisman hurriedly while yelling, "Fellow Martial Artist, please show mer—"
"Pfft!"
Before he could finish, a sludge of blood appeared beneath the golden mountain peak.
The paragon of Shadow Sect was killed by the Coiling Dragon Seal without a corpse left!
Silence ensued in the underground palace instantly.
The Martial artists of Stellar Moon Sect, Shadow Sect, and Blazing Phoenix Valley looked at everything with widened eyes in disbelief.
Prior to this, no one would have imagined that a single attack from a seemingly frail scholar would kill the paragon of Shadow Sect instantly!
Against the suppression of the Top Grade artifact weapon, the Shadow's Twin Darts that destroyed the Azure Myst Sword Rain, Hexagonal Sword Formations, and protection talismans were akin to a piece of paper, unable to withstand a single blow.
Decisive to kill!
Three words flashed across everyone's mind.
It was too ruthless!
In such circumstances, unless they were paragons of the immortal, Buddhist, and fiend super sects, any other Martial Master wouldn't dare to be reckless.
With the death of Norl Fer, there was now no way of reconciliation for both parties!
Although everyone was shocked, their gazes remained cold.
To them, Slyff Nae and the other two were severely injured and their combat strength could be ignored whereas Aiden was alone – no matter how strong he was, he could not defend against the combined attacks of so many Martial Masters!
Furthermore, Aiden was only an early-stage Martial Master.
The remaining seven martial artists of Shadow Sect left slowly, delving into the darkness without a trace, as though they had disappeared.
Mo Xir and G'ang Nan glared at the gigantic golden seal with fervent gazes.
The fact that an early-stage Martial Master could produce such terrifying killing power proves that the gigantic seal was extraordinary!
If either of them got their hands on it, their combat strength would double at the very least!
With the seal, they could definitely dominate everyone when they enter the intermediate ancient battlefield 20 years later and gain fame!
"Alright!"
G'ang Nan roared into laughter. "Good moves, fellow brave warrior. I'm rather impressed. Hand the Top Grade artifact weapon to me first and I can make the decision to let you join Blazing Phoenix Valley so that you can follow me from now on!"
Aiden smiled with a flash of mockery in his eyes.
G'ang Nan was not frustrated despite seeing and shouted with a smile on his face, "The wise recognize their circumstances. The situation right now is clear, you're in an irreconcilable situation with Shadow Sect. At the same time, the martial artists of Stellar Moon Sect want to kill you for your treasure…"
After a slight pause, G'ang Nan declared haughtily, "Right now, I'm the only one that can save you!"
G'ang Nan was making his intentions clear.
As long as Aiden were to submit to him and hand over the Top Grade artifact weapon, he could ensure Aiden's survival and would even fight against Shadow Sect and Stellar Moon Sect!
There were more than twenty Martial Masters on the side of Stellar Moon Sect and seven left on Shadow Sect.
Although Blazing Phoenix Valley only had more than ten Martial Masters, G'ang Nan was confident that his Martial Master phenomenon was superior to Mo Xir's!
"You don't have to worry. Senior Brother G'ang Nan is a man of his words and will definitely not renege."
"What are you thinking about? You're still hesitating although Senior Brother 'Gang Nan recruited you personally and spared your life?"
A few Blazing Phoenix Valley martial artists behind G'ang Nan were displeased when they saw that Aiden was keeping his silence.
In their opinion, if Aiden was tactful, he should hand over his Top Grade artifact weapon right away and kowtow in reverence!
"I think… you guys are misunderstanding something…"
A brief moment later, Aiden spoke slowly, "Right now, it's not about who can save me. It's about who can save you guys!"
When G'ang Nan heard that, the smile on his face disappeared gradually and his expression darkened.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Mo Xir laughed at the right time and shook his head gently, rubbing his palms together. "Interesting, interesting. 'Gang Nan, he doesn't need you to save him nor does he think highly of Blazing Phoenix Valley."
Everyone from Blazing Phoenix Valley was enraged, to begin with.
Mo Xir's words were akin to adding oil to fire!
"Damn it! He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"Senior Brother Wang, you don't have to do it personally. I'll retrieve his head for you!"
Blazing Phoenix Valley was riled up.
G'ang Nan did not disagree, merely nodding his head.
The Martial Master that requested to attack turned towards Aiden, muttering, "I'll let you die in peace today! For your offence and arrogant words, you have to face the conseuqnces of offending the person who you shouldn't have! Die!
"It's him!"
"He's also a genius of Blazing Phoenix Valley and is definitely ranked top five among their Martial Masters in terms of strength."
The crowd from Stellar Moon Sect broke into hushed discussions.
The young man did not circulate internal energy nor did he summon any spirit weapons, merely walking over barehanded.
Aiden's expression did not change at all as he glanced at the young man and understood.
All of a sudden!
When he was around ten feet away from Aiden, the young man increased his speed!
There was a boom.
Extending his feet, the proud and fearsome young man stomped on the ground and his blood energy burst forth. Like a sharp arrow, he arrived before Aiden instantly and his killing intent was so sharp that it almost materialized!
Aiden did not move at all, as though he could not react in time.
Although the young man was at late-stage Martial Master, he did not underestimate his opponent.
He knew that Aiden was in possession of a Top Grade artifact weapon and was tough to deal with, enough to pose a threat to him. That was the reason why he feigned weakness and only struck when he was close enough!
"Prepare to die!"
With a menacing expression, the Young slung his fists onto Aiden's head!
Sneering coldly, Aiden did not dodge nor avoid and instead, punched in return against the incoming attack.
