Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1285 With Anyone

1285 With Anyone.

Bruiser's words seemed to have implied something. It was clear that the three had already decided that this was a prize they would be keeping to themselves.

The three had never thought that they would be sharing a woman in their lifetimes, but the worth of Aika was too great. Let alone the fact they would never gain a more powerful woman in their lifetimes, the benefits to having her on their cultivation speed and resources would be enormous.

The problem was that they were keenly aware of the machinations and schemes that occurred within harems. This wasn't something that would be left to just the women. When ambitious people were placed together in a cutthroat environment, things were bound to happen.

Who was to say that Aika would never choose to have other husbands? Who was to say that she wouldn't get bored of them after a single night and never call them again? Who was to say that they would even be able to share a night with her at all, after all it wasn't as though they had the power to force it upon her.

Knowing all of this, these three, although they had formerly been enemies, had decided that the best course of action progressing would be to bind their futures together. No matter what, they would move forward as a united front, taking on the role of Aika's first husbands.

If they could focus less on scheming, and more on benefitting the most from their situation, their lives would be much brighter.

And now, their first test stood before them. They would show the world this sort of united front and make it implicitly clear where they stood on these matters.

"Are you finished talking yet?" Ryu asked. His expression carried an obvious indifference. "I planned on dealing with all three of you from the very beginning. I don't have a inclination for sharing my women.

"With anyone."

Ryu's words seemed to shake the three awake, their gazes flashing with hints of hesitation, shame and rage.

At the same time, Ryu's words drifted to the city walls, causing many to frown. Although this was the sentiment of many men here, there was also the matter of knowing their limits.

On the city walls, there were many prodigies lower than the World Sea Realm and higher that were present, many of whom would have jumped at such a chance. They might never gain such an remarkable woman in their lives, wasn't it a matter, of course, to fight for her and this chance?

Many looked over toward Aika to see her reaction. Knowing this woman's fiery temper, she might even smite Ryu down where he stood. Saying such things in the presence of everyone, wasn't that just like treating her as though she was just any old woman? How could Aika stand for this?

Though some thought it was odd that Aika hadn't shown up at the beginning of the other battle, but had for this one, they were more eager to see what her reaction would be now. And yet, there was no reaction at all, her expression was simply impossible to read. It was neither cold and indifferent, nor calm and relaxed. It was in an odd in between state that left many without the words to describe it.

Ryu seemed to be the only one that didn't glance toward the city walls, as though Aika's response to his words hadn't mattered to him.

With a gesture of his palms, his Great Swordstaffs flew up and landed gently within them. He flicked his wrists and they spun in his palm, his shoulders and hands rotating with an almost hypnotic flexibility.

Then, they suddenly came to a stop.

BANG!

The earth split into three, the residual wind pressure shattering it. Ryu's body began to glow as a pair of white wings extended from his back and white-gold scales began to cover his body. A pair of horns that seemed to want to pierce the skies, standing as black as ink, appeared on his forward as a Phoenix's cry echoed through the skies.I think you should take a look at

The pupils of several individuals constricted into pinholes.

Living Spiritual Foundation!

Qi rushed toward Ryu from all directions, a oppressive weight swallowing up the atmosphere. But what was even more shocking was that it most definitely wasn't Immortal Qi. There was no doubt, that was most definitely Cosmic Qi.

However, before this could shock those present to the point of disbelief, the aura of a Sword God flourished, splitting the clouds above and rumbling the earth beneath.

Ryu's irises reflected with a hidden golden light, shimmering brighter and brighter.

He seemed to have gone all out from the very beginning. His presence was absolutely suffocating. And yet, he wasn't finished.

Motes of starlight descended from the skies above, gently wrapping around Ryu and then suddenly dispersing, filling the battlefield like the lines of a game of Domain.

Everything happened so quickly that the three youths could only stand and watch. They felt a pressure pressing against their bodies.

Ryu raised his foot, his body leaning forward slightly.

The hairs on their necks stood at attention, their bodies being pulled taut as they felt a keen sense of danger.

By the time Ryu's step had landed, his body flickered and vanished, leaving nothing more than an afterimage.

Bruiser punched out on instinct. Although Ryu felt overwhelming, he was still within the realms that he could understand and react to. His battle instincts kicked in and he knew that he couldn't allow Ryu to take the initiative, so he reacted as though he had been ready all along.

And yet, when he punched out, it felt as though his fist had entered a quagmire. Ryu was right before him, not even half a meter away, and yet for some reason, Bruiser already knew that his fist would never be able to reach Ryu's face.

If one looked from the side, it looked as though Bruiser's arm had shrunk to the size of a toddler's, barely able to punch out a single foot, let alone cover half a meter.

Ryu's great swordstaff trembled and blood spurted.

Bruiser's arm was amputated from his shoulder, spinning wildly in the air as his blood surged like a fountain.

The elders shuddered.

Spatial Soul Nature!
