Chapter 932 932 - Blood Bath (Part 1)
"Humph!"
Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon harrumphed coldly. "Taban Feng, you think that you're qualified to take the Vermilion Fruit and reign supreme over the North Region?"
Wielding two truncheons, Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon had a domineering aura when he stood forth!
Boom!
The golden halberd collided against the twin truncheons and let out a deafening bang with sparks!
It was an even split!
Both sides were pushed back in that head-on collision.
Among the ten Upper Sects, Dragon Tiger Sect was the only one that focused only on body tempering.
The Founder Master that established it was a remarkable figure in Tianhuang Mainland and left behind the Dragon Tiger Sutra.
It's said that at the peak of its martial power, one can subdue dragons and suppress tigers; there was nothing one couldn't do!
The twin truncheons were also known as the Dragon Tiger Truncheons.
The truncheon on his left hand was etched with an intricate pattern that looked like a dragon's scales.
The truncheon on his right hand had black yellow flower patterns that resembled those on a tiger's skin.
The weapons that both of them used were perfect-grade artifact weapons!
Initially, at the sect competition of Great Zhou, the birth of a perfect artifact weapon was enough to stir the capital and tempt countless Martial Masters.
But now, two perfect artifact weapons were displayed the moment two paragons fought!
Buzz!
All of a sudden!
The clear sound of a sword buzzing rang through the void.
A sword light flashed.
It was blazing white and tore the void into two.
The paragon of Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect had attacked and his slash sliced through the void.
There was initially nothing there.
However, the sword beam illuminated a figure in the air who retreated hurriedly with a flustered expression, dodging the killing move by a hair's breadth!
That was the paragon of Shadowless Sect who was trying to get close to the Vermilion Fruit by hiding himself. However, Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect's paragon saw through him and forced him out with a single slash!
The paragon of Dark Ghost Sect tapped his feet off the ground and charged towards the Vermilion Fruit like a phantom but he was blocked away by a streak of fire.
"Y-You!"
Dark Ghost Sect's paragon's expression was grim.
The one who attacked was G'ang Nan of Blazing Phoenix Valley.
A month ago, he escaped from this place and with the help of seniors in his sect, healed his injuries completely and even advanced in his martial power.
He was not only back for the Vermilion Fruit, but also for revenge!
The moment Blood Mist Sect's paragon made a move, a gigantic star appeared before him.
The paragon of Stellar Luna Sect had attacked.
The paragons of Heaven Motion Sect, Seven Kills Sect, Cadmus Wujia, Murong Wolt, and everyone else attacked either in pairs or in three-way fights.
The situation was in complete chaos.
All the other paragons of the North Region seized the opportunity to strike!
A long-faced martial artist relied on the speed of his movement technique and avoided a few fatal attacks in succession, charging towards the Vermilion Fruit.
Before he could reach it, a blood mist appeared before him and devoured him completely, leaving no corpse behind!
Some other geniuses that tried to close in were cleaved down by Taban Feng's halberd as well!
The brutal battle royale between the paragons of the Ten Upper Sects and the four gentry clans was terrifying as Hell and any martial artists that approached were instantly minced!
The many paragons that were present were extremely conservative and did not give it their all yet.
If any paragon were to start using a Martial Master phenomenon and cause a threat to others, it would definitely cause a chain reaction and that battle royale would turn even more bloody and cruel!
Muran Dorn and Maran Des stood at the outermost perimeter and looked at the intense battle of the paragons with pale expressions.
This was a perfect representation of how savage and cruel the martial power world was!
The two of them witnessed the person known as the number one Martial Master of Great Shang charge in only to be beaten down by the Dragon Tiger Truncheons of Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon repeatedly.
That person had only managed to release his Martial Master phenomenon halfway when he was killed by Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon and died on the spot!
Geniuses of the martial power world were absolutely worthless at this moment.
Only those that could survive the baptism of blood could be considered as the true paragons of the North Region!
"This is way too scary!"
Maran Des remarked softly, "The paragons of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans are fighting around the Vermilion Fruit. Anyone that wants to get their hands on the Vermilion Fruit will have to pass by them and will definitely fail."
Muran Dorn nodded. "That's right, their combat strength is truly way too terrifying."
At that moment, a tall and burly figure rushed into the crowd.
The burly man wore rough linen clothes that exposed his thick, muscular arms. His expression was steely and everywhere he passed, everything was overturned as he charged right into the center of the battlefield.
"Another person who wants to die."
Maran Des shook her head and sighed gently.
In this short period of time, hundreds of Martial Masters have already perished on the battlefield.
Any paragon that wanted to approach the Vermilion Fruit would definitely be slaughtered by the paragons of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans mercilessly!
In the blink of an eye, the burly man had already closed in and was fighting against the paragon of Blood Mist Sect.
There were already dozens of Martial Masters that had died in the hands of Blood Mist Sect's paragon by now!
Controlling his blood mist, the paragon devoured everything and there was nothing he couldn't corrode and eat up!
In fact, Muran Dorn and Maran Des saw some Martial Masters release phenomenons that were devoured by his blood mist completely!
"You must have a death wish!"
When he saw that the burly man had no intention of slowing down, Blood Mist Sect's paragon sneered and released his blood mist to engulf the former.
"Scram worm!"
His voice was thunderous and shuddering!
Not only did the burly man not dodge or avoid, his gaze was like lightning and when he spoke, there was a mighty aura that burst forth from his body like a surging tsunami!
Suddenly, the area trembled!
The pupils of Blood Mist Sect's paragon constricted and his expression changed starkly.
With a torrential massive energy, the burly man forced back the incoming blood mist instantly!
The unstoppable blood mist could not get close to him at all!
The burly man did not stop there and extended his massive palm, slapping the blood mist directly.
Poof!
A huge head was lopped into the air with widened eyes.
A single charge by the burly man dispersed the blood mist.
Instantly, Blood Mist Sect's paragon died on the spot in regrets without the chance to even release his Martial Master phenomenon.
"Hmm?"
The initially chaotic battlefield was met with a momentary pause with the death of Blood Mist Sect's paragon.
It was too fast!
Nobody expected the paragon of Blood Mist Sect to die.
Less than that, nobody expected him to die against a single move from this burly man who had appeared out of nowhere.
His head was sent flying with a single slap!
In fact, many of the martial artists present did not even manage to catch the appearance of the burly man clearly yet.
A commotion broke out within the crowd.
A variable had occurred!
"How dare you!"
Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's paragon hollered in rage when he saw that the burly man was already close to reaching the Vermilion Fruit.
Boom!
A massive divine cauldron descended from the heavens with a blinding radiance and a terrifying aura that could suppress all living beings!
The burly man's expression did not change and he did not stop at all. His internal energy burst forth alongside two divine golden lights from his eyes as the veins on his arms were exposed while his muscles knotted together like liquid steel.
He threw a punch against the air!
Bang!
A loud bang sounded in the air.
"Is he crazy? He's trying to fight against a top grade artifact weapon with his bare hands!"
"He truly doesn't know what's good for him to underestimate the paragons of the North Region as such."
Remarks could be heard from the crowd.
"Your arm is mine!"
The eyes of Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's paragon shone cruelly as he controlled his divine cauldron to smash down fiercely against the burly man!
The burly man did not avoid or dodge and the flesh on his fist expanded rapidly, resembling a gigantic seal that emanated a heavy blood stench!
Boom!
The fist and the divine cauldron collided with a huge bang.
After a momentary pause, a series of cracking sounds echoed from the divine cauldron. It was extremely tragic and thin lines could be seen forming on the surface of the cauldron!
