Chapter 243 - Battle!
'This young man is the real deal.' Bluist thought to himself. Now, he was thinking countless methods in order to survive this predicament. After all, his instincts was telling him that this young man who looked harmless wasn't someone they could afford to offend!
In fact, all of the monarchs were thinking the same. With how easily Jin Rou killed a Divine Monarch, they knew that this young man must be a member of a behemoth in the True Realm! They were now busy thinking how to save their own asses and if even given the chance, they would collect this debt later on.
They were no fools. After all, they experienced countless tribulations and deathly fights. Thus, their mindsets were fortified.
But seeing this young man revealing his killing intent, they could not help but feel a creeping fear inside their hearts, from the bottom of it. This young man was serious!
Silence permeated. It was so silent that you could hear the faintest breath of a cultivator. The 2 opposing sides just looked at each other. One side was only a single man standing there, smiling. While the other side was 8 monarchs thinking how to deal with this.
After a long silence, Bluist decided to break the ice and said, "Young man, are you aware that you are in the territory of the Havenleaf Constellation?"
"I am aware." Jin Rou answered.
"Then you dare to mess with us even though you are but an outsider? You have no connections in the feud between us and the Leaf Sword Sect. At most, you are a guest. And just like you said, you are a passerby." Bluist responded.
What Bluist said was true. Jin Rou was, at most, a guest. And problems between the sects, personal feud or whatsoever, should be settled by the involved parties only.
There's a popular saying, "Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong to."
In easier words, mind your own business.
And what Jin Rou did, was something like trespassing one's territory.
"Ancestor Sumire had clearly asked for my help and I know you old folks have heard it, right?" Jin Rou smiled and said, "But you didn't say anything when she said that. Then now that I appeared, you are speaking like you guys have been stepped on?"
"..." Bluist didn't know what to respond to this as his face darkened more.
Seeing that Bluist was speechless, Jin Rou continued and taunted, "And I dare to mess with you? But of course. I have the capability to mess with a bunch of weaklings like you. So I dare. What can you do about it?"
The spectators' soul almost jumped out of their bodies. This man was seeking too much death!
The monarchs glared daggers and revealed vicious expressions. Jin Rou had thoroughly angered them!
To be called weaklings in front of so many people? If they didn't remove this stain, they would never set their heads high again!
"It seems like you're adamant in fighting us to the death." Bluist said. His voice was still cool and composed.
"Indeed, to the death. But you guys will be the one to die. Not me." Jin Rou said.
"Very well. We would like to see what you are capable of!" Bluist eyes turned serious and a blue light flashed in his eyes.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Then, the 8 monarchs became streaks of light and rushed towards Jin Rou with a speed matching light itself!
"Come." Jin Rou smirked and said.
"Bang! Bang! Clang! Boom!" Suddenly, 4 figures appeared in front of Jin Rou with swords in their hands. They swung their swords in a different directions, but with the same aim. Jin Rou's chest! However, though their speed seemed unmatched, it was child's play for Jin Rou. He slightly touched the 4 monarchs in a way no one could follow. After which, the 4 monarchs who have attacked suddenly exploded and became a mist of blood!
"Thump!" Jin Rou stepped lightly and sneered, "Four Grand Monarchs down."
"Wham!" However, the remaining monarchs didn't have the time to think of what happened. Old Fu and Old Greenbelt gave signals to each other with a grave face. Soon, millions of tiny fireballs appeared.
"Hah!" Old Fu lifted his hand and stretched it towards, giving signal to the countless fireballs around them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Jin Rou received a barrage of fireballs as he defended himself against it. The clash made the ground crack more and more until a part of the land was split in half.
"Attack System: Infinity Slash!" Old Greenbelt revealed his sword and used their own created system. This slash was capable of killing tens of thousands of people in a single attack. If it's used by a higher level cultivator, it might be hundred thousands to millions dying!
With the same time attack of the two systems, the power was doubled and tremendously immense.
"Boom!" A deafening and loud explosion was the result of the two systems attack power. The rocks and wind have been thrown into all directions, giving the nearby buildings a severe hit. In fact, even the nearby sects were affected as well!
Truly, a fight between monarchs was destructive!
"Did we get him?" Old Fu said. He was very exhausted as he used every bit of his qi in that system.
"I don't know. But if he is still alive, I bet he's severely injured at least." Old Greenbelt said. He was confident that the two attack systems they used had clearly hit Jin Rou.
However, as the smoke disappeared, a standing figure could be seen.
"Impossible!" Old Greenbelt was terrified this time and at the same time, surprised to his core.
What appeared in front of them was Jin Rou who wasn't even injured or scratched a bit!
Even the two Divine Monarchs were stumped once again. With such magnitude of an attack, he wasn't injured? This was crazy!
"Two attack systems that could sync together, indeed it's powerful." Jin Rou chuckled and said, "Only if your opponent is not me, that is."
