Chapter 336: The unexpected danger (1)

The Western Serpent piercing technique with the sword is formidable indeed, not to mention she did it to an already fatigued person. 

She was also highly accomplished in her martial skills; a single martial stroke from her would usually spell the end for her opponents!

But the scene right now is…. unbelievable. 

The moment that Arial realize his heart had been pierced, his dragon heart instinctively protects it that even with Western Serpent calculated attack it didn't kill Arial. 

Arial roars like a dragon and the sword that is stuck to his chest shatters, the shard propelled itself.

some of them flew to the gawking audience, some of them into his blood vessel, thousands of small needle like iron flow inside Arial blood, giving him pain like never before. 

Arial then jump backward, blood spurting out from his wound but quickly he uses his internal energy to push out the shards.

The tiny shard drips out with the blood melted with the boiling blood of Arial. It was truly boiling, not figuratively but literally. 

His blood is boiling; reaching a heat that makes his body is emitting smokes. Flame might even be produced.

'WESTERN SERPENT!' Arial yelled, anger and an expression of disbelief appear on his pale face. His white hair flow backward like a raging dragon.

'WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!' Northern Badger who is at a considerable distance from Arial and the other two Immortals also is shocked by this sudden development. 

'Little Serpent' Northern Badger said. 

'Why are you so rash?' He shakes his head. On the other hand, Western Serpent is puzzled and at the same time in confusion. 

'I thought I have pierced his heart. How could he still stand?' And she realized that the dragon is smoking…literally smoking. 

His labored breath almost sound like something is growling and his piercing blue eyes are turning red and a baleful aura is surrounding him, a black red darkness envelope the man. 

All of the martial art fraternity look at this phenomenon with pervasive fear…. Knowing that somehow…. this Arial is even capable of more power. 

'XIYUN!' Arial said, his voice shakes the hill

his hand is still in his chest, blood keeps dripping down yet an aura of power envelope him and his voice loud and clear like the thunder from heaven striking the ground, shaking every core, every heart and inviting fear to their deepest subconscious. 

Xiyun who was startled and just emerge from her hiding reply, with worry and concerns in her tone 

'YES, TEACHER!'

Arial look at her, a look of pity and a hint of concerns and he said with conviction, with regret, making sure that everybody hears him as his blue eyes is began to be encroach by the dark aura 

his heart is beginning to beat so furiously, like a beating of a hammer striking an anvil relentlessly

The power that is coming out of him is so oppressive, a power of such magnitude that the ground started shaking, the rocks and pebbles of stones around him begun to levitate, the wind around change course as he is sure what is to come.

He has felt that presence as he is nearing to lose his consciousness. Gaveror he thought. He has descended. And with it the wrath of dragons.

His voice reverberates with such anger…. with such malevolent intention towards the Western Serpent but with his last sanity he yelled 

'RUN!'

Then something like an explosion happened and he close his eyes and everything fades away.

***********************************************************************

THE MARTIAL ART FRATERNITY 

They all heard as the Lord Arial yelled run but they could not possibly understand what he means then suddenly and explosion of energy happens. 

They all see with their eyes what they could only describe as magical. The wounds on Arial heart suddenly stopped, and some could swear they could see that the wound is regenerating itself. 

The black red aura that envelope Arial body gets bigger and everyone feel choked and constrained. 

Xiyun has already run far away even so fast that she has jump down from the Heaven Peak, to reach to the Dark Peak. 

She understands her teacher intention. If he says run…then there is no doubt that means, there is some danger…danger that her teacher knows she will not survive. 

Blood will drop, bodies will fall…. literally everything will perish. This kind of thoughts run into Xiyun minds.

And it is because of this reason she ran. 

The other smart martial artist and most of the cowards also ran from that Peak, all jumping down, feeling that there will be something that happens up there that will defy their senses. 

And they are not about to found out. Better safe than sorry

'This Arial is different' some Elders from the Wuhao sect is still looking at the battle, hiding behind some sturdy rock. He looks at Arial in the center of the peak and there is no fear on his eyes…only bloodlust…and if he dares say it…. madness. 

'Who is he? What is he?'

Western Serpent and the Eastern Devil on the other hand were thrown back and even Northern Badger who are very far away from Arial had to step back a few steps. 

Of course compared to the other two immortals he is lucky. 

Eastern Devil is not a weak person but even when he used his internal energy barrier to endure the pressure of Arial internal energy he still flown to a rock, smashing that rock into a hundred pieces. 

'What has happened to him?' Eastern Devil wondered as he got up from the debris of the rock.

Eastern Devil felt a very different feeling from this awakened Arial then the other one. 

Seeing that crimson eyes glaring at them, with killing intent that could kill a lesser man, he was like a harbinger of death. 

Arial looks at the Immortals and he smile a maddening smile.

Arial then twist his hand and the wind changes course and suddenly all the swords in the Peak, every stone, every sharp object whether it be from an elder from the martial art school or the disciple or even Western Serpent herself, they all rattled, trying to break free from the owner grasp, like something is calling out to them, an internal energy manipulation.

Then Arial make a pulling movement and suddenly the sword fly through the air, swirling above his head, hundreds and hundreds of swords, spears, knives, dagger, sharpened stick, stones and many other. 

The martial art fraternity looks with fear and dread as they began understanding the monster that this young lord is. 

'To achieve this level!' Some said in fear, their hand shaking, their knees are buckling, their teeth chattered nervously. Some sweated profusely.

'What is this?' Northern Badger said his face began showing fear. 

'What is this boy?' josei

'This is Air manipulation' Eastern Devil said fully recognizing the danger right now. 

'This would get bloody' Eastern Devil said. 

He felt sorry for Arial after all, Eastern Devil might be called one of the cruelest of the Four Immortals but he respects strong people considering he is also walking at the same path…but senseless murder… that is not his interest. 

'We must stop him.' He said. He knows if Arial is not stopped the maybe no one will leave here alive. 

'Gladly' Western Serpent said as she launched herself to Arial, her sword flashed like lightning
