Chapter 1029 - The massacre begins
Kell Yue had already been displeased with Aiden the entire journey. At that moment, he released his Martial Master phenomenon without hesitation and shouted, "You have to get through me first!"
"Southern Duel Star Formation!"
Boom!
The heavens were initially dotted with stars.
All of a sudden, six stars shone brightly with a glaring beam and shrouded Aiden.
A series of terrifying auras burst forth around Kell Yue – that was the power of his phenomenon!
"Escape yourself,"
Aiden patted the Golden Lion beneath him and leaped down with a cold gaze. In a flash, he vanished from the spot.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived beside Kell Yue.
Swoosh!
It was too fast!
Most martial artists could not react in time.
"Om!"
Aiden opened his mouth and a prayer boomed!
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Everyone from Southern Duel Sect who stood beside Kell Yue and wanted to draw the line between them and Aiden exploded into blood mists – none of them were spared and they all died!
A single prayer word blasted them to death without any corpses remaining!
Kell Yue was shocked as well.
His Martial Master phenomenon was shaken with a single prayer word!
The six Southern Duel Stars up in the heavens flashed repeatedly and showed signs of dispersion!
"How strong!"
Kell Yue was taken aback.
In reality, if not for the protection of his Martial Master phenomenon, that single prayer word would have blasted him to death given their distance!
He would not have met with a different ending compared to his sect mates.
Before that thought of his was finished, Kell Yue felt his eyes blur.
Aiden's figure did not pause at all.
His knees buckled forward like a sprinting stallion as he charged over with a surging blood energy!
His aura was terrifying!
Bang!
There was a split delay between the both of them.
Immediately after, Kell Yue's body was sent flying and the phenomenon power that surrounded his body dispersed entirely; the six Southern Duel Stars in the skies dimmed completely.
His body hovered in midair before splitting into pieces, dying the voids red with blood!
"Ah!"
A wave of shock and astonishment could be heard from the crowd.
Most of the martial artists in the ancient city had heard of Aiden's reputation but there were few who had seen him fight personally.
Or rather, most of the people who had seen him attack were dead.
Right now, when everyone witnessed how Aiden destroyed a Martial Master phenomenon domineeringly with his bare body, the blow to their mental states was immense!
How could the power of bloodline and one's body reach such a level?
Kell Yue was someone who was once on the Phenomenon Ranking!
Although he was ranked near the end, he was one of the paragons!
Nobody expected him to last less than a single round despite the release of his Martial Master phenomenon.
Aiden was strong 20 years ago.
However, the power of his bloodline and body had not reached this level.
There had not been anybody who had witnessed his actual combat strength 20 years later!
Although Kher Melen's group watched the sight with constricted pupils, they were still composed. Instead, a mocking look flashed through their eyes.
Naturally, Crystal Palace Sect was thoroughly prepared before entering the ancient battlefield this time round.
Nothing that happened so far had gone beyond Crystal Palace Sect's expectations.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Countless flying swords tore through the air.
Countless spirit arts blanketed the skies.
Aiden stared at Kher Melen who was at the highest point of the main hall and killing intent surged in his eyes. His body's blood energy flooded and echoed with the sound of a tsunami in a shuddering manner!
Boom!
Kicking off from his toes, Aiden vanished instantly.
Spiderweb cracks appeared on the stone slab he stood on originally and extended outwards.
A figure darted into the crowd with an unstoppable might like a human weapon, sending many martial artists flying!
Most of the flying swords and spirit arts missed.
When some of the flying swords got close, Aiden reached out and grabbed wildly in the void – he caught most of the incoming flying swords in his palms!
"Break!"
Exerting strength in both arms, he yelled!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The flying swords in his palms were snapped by his bare hands!
Most of those flying swords were top grade flying swords.
The sharpness of a top grade flying sword could not injure Aiden's flesh!
"Kill!"
Aiden opened his mouth and released Thunderclap Kill against the descent of many spirit arts.
A tremendous roar boomed forward, accompanied by the power of thunder.
The entire main hall shook!
Right in front of everyone, countless spirit arts dispersed before they could make contact with Aiden's body, turning into spots of spirit light that dissipated into thin air!
The crowd was in an uproar.
There were countless rumors about the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island, however, none of them experienced the same shock as they did now since nobody saw it personally.
Right now, none of the martial artists in the ancient city realized it.
The true massacre had only just begun.
What they witnessed today was merely the tip of the iceberg for this strongest monster incarnate in history!
Aiden treads in thin air and nobody could match his edge!
If Aiden could destroy a phenomenon on the ranking barehanded, the Martial Master phenomenons of ordinary martial artists could not stand in his way at all!
He was getting closer to Kher Melen.
"Senior Brother Kher, should we release the formation?"
A Crystal Palace Sect martial artist behind Kher Melen whispered.
"There's no need,"
Kher Melen's hands were hidden deeply in his robes and he smirked, remarking coolly, "I'm rather curious to test and see just how strong this monster incarnate is in reality!"
"Senior Brother Kher, there's no need to take that risk personally… right?"
Another Crystal Palace Sect martial artist frowned.
"Take the risk personally?"
Kher Melen harrumphed coldly. "In the past, I wasn't weaker than Jorl Wuya in melee combat. So, where does the risk come from?"
"Furthermore, Crystal Palace Sect is famous for body tempering! Why should I fear a beast?"
"Watch out, Senior Brother Kher!"
Everyone from Crystal Palace Sect tried to warn repeatedly.
Kher Melen's expression turned cold as he charged towards Aiden who was arriving.
"Aiden, take my punch!"
Striding forward, Kher Melen's blood energy surged and his hair flew furiously as he threw a punch towards Aiden's head violently!
Although he threw out a punch, his palm was still hidden in his robes and wasn't revealed, merely showing the shape of a clenched fist.
Narrowing his gaze, Aiden did not retreat or avoid and returned with a punch of his own!
Apart from the top of the Phenomenon Ranking, the absolute king of the rankings, he had never encountered any other martial artist of the same martial art realm who could match him in melee combat.
Kher Melen's eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement when he saw Aiden's decision to take the punch head-on.
Bang!
The two fists collided!
Kher Melen's sleeve was ripped apart instantly, flying away like butterflies.
Elaborate magical patterns shone brightly on Kher Melen's fist!
He was wearing a glove and it was a top grade artifact weapon!
That was his killing move!
Therefore, Aiden had just collided against a top grade spirit weapon head-on rather than flesh!
Their fists had already collided and it was too late to avoid even if he wanted to!
A light injury would cripple Aiden's arm.
A heavy injury would result in his death if Kher Melen took advantage of the situation!
"Haha, Aiden! Prepare to die!"
Kher Melen laughed menacingly.
Before his laughter subsided, his heart sank.
There was no hint of panic in Aiden's eyes – they were calm as water!
"Impossible! I-It can't be!"
Before that thought was finished, Kher Melen shifted his gaze.
Aiden's fist merely collided gently against his before turning limp. Like an anaconda, it wrapped forward along with the momentum.
Wrap, hit, pull!
Shing!
A mist of blood filled the air.
Kher Melen's arm was ripped off by Aiden just like that!
