The Last Primal

Chapter 1010 1010 - Protection

?

A gray robed man wielded an ebony-colored blade and strolled slowly along the long street, leaving corpses in his wake.

Everywhere he passed, rivers of blood would be formed!

It was a complete massacre.

Immortals were killed!

Against Aiden, the Martial Grandmasters with their Essence Spirits and spirit energies restricted were like fishes on a chopping block!

The skies were turning brighter.

At the borders of small little town, Mighty Lord Yun Du focused wholeheartedly on dispelling the formation with sweat pouring down his forehead.

The Ancient Spirit and Essence Lock Formations were extremely complicated and even with his capabilities, it was difficult to dispel them in a short period of time.

Thankfully, the trap formation that caused the fog was not too difficult.

When he heard the tragic shrieks behind him, Mighty Lord Yun Du was even more panicked.

However, he did not turn back to look.

He could not afford to get distracted!

Their only shot at survival was if he could dispel the trap formation as quickly as possible!

Time slowly passed.

A long time later, the fog dispersed.

Yun Du heaved a sigh of relief and fell on his buttocks to the ground. His back was already drenched in sweat.

A sliver of sunlight shone from the horizons and filled the small town, making it seem tranquil and peaceful.

Suddenly, Mighty Lord Yun Du sensed something amiss.

It was way too quiet!

Unknowingly, the cries, shrieks and pleads for mercy behind him had vanished.

Pitter, patter.

Footsteps sounded.

It was as though the person approaching was stepping on stone slabs covered in a sticky liquid.

The footsteps came to a stop behind him.

He felt a chill run down his spine!

Mighty Lord Yun Du did not dare to turn back.

A ebony-colored blade slowly made its way beneath his throat with a thick blood stench – the edge of the blade was extremely chilling!

"You're the last one."

A voice sounded faintly and indifferently without any emotions in his ears.

"Pfft!"

A flash of blood appeared.

The mighty Lord's head rolled off with fresh blood splattering.

His head rolled a couple of times on the ground before facing small little town.

His eyes were widened.

Gray robes; a bloodied path.

Two distinctly different colors triggered his final senses.

His consciousness gradually faded into oblivion.

Doors on both sides of the streets opened gradually with gaps. Many mortals looked out bravely but were shocked.

The stone slabs were strewn with corpses.

At the end of the road, a gray robed man stood in the blood with a sinister blade beside him, resembling a arch devil from Hell!

The man had a calm expression, gazing at the slowly rising sun in the East with a slightly lost expression.

Sunlight spilled onto the man's face and radiated with life, giving him a saintly and tranquil look as though he was covered in a layer of gold foil.

For some unknown reason, everyone suddenly calmed down from their initial panic.

Engulfed in a Buddha light, the man seemed like he was a Bodhisattva from Hell who had arrived to purify the masses.

Although the man had two completely different auras around him, there was no conflict at all.

Turning around, the man waved his sleeves and wrapped up the corpses on both sides of the road before returning to his mansion and vanishing within it.

"Granny, who is that gray robed young master?"

In the dilapidated house, a naive child asked with curiosity.

"That young man, he is…"

The old lady murmured with a dazed expression, as though she was immersed in her memories.

Everyone else in small little town had conflicted emotions when they heard that name as well.I think you should take a look at

…

In the mansion.

Aiden took away the storage bags of the hundred Martial Grandmasters and cast their corpses casually at a corner.

He headed to the backyard and chopped a few trees to build a wooden coffin before returning to the peach blossom tree.

Gazing at the old man who seemed like he was asleep beneath the tree, Aiden's eyes were filled with emotions and reluctance.

A long time later, he took a deep breath and headed forward, carrying the old man gently. After placing the latter inside the wooden coffin, he buried the coffin beneath the tree and covered it with mud.

Aiden gazed at the newly built tomb in silence, feeling a stuffy emotion in his chest that was uncomfortable.

All of a sudden!

The peach blossom tree beside him swayed and sprouts grew from the initially barren trunk. In the blink of an eye, they bloomed into flowers one after another!

A hint of green life was actually born in the courtyard in the start of winter.

Petals descended gently and covered the tomb.

The peach blossom tree swayed gently, letting out an emotion as though it was comforting Aiden.

"It's turned sentient,"

Aiden fondled the tree's trunk and smiled. "I'm fine."

Upon hearing that, the peach blossom tree was delighted and its branches curved slightly and brushed Aiden gently on the cheek.

It was no coincidence that the peach blossom tree turned sentient.

All lives in the universe were spiritual.

Even a rock without any life could turn sentient, let alone a peach blossom tree!

Legend has it that in the past, a Mighty Figure with powerful Divine powers trained constantly on a rock. Many years later, a life was born from that rock.

Apart from Aiden who gained the true knowledge of the martial world, the peach blossom tree benefited as well and became sentient.

Later on, Aiden formed his core beneath this tree and comprehended two Martial Master phenomenons. As such, the peach blossom tree's sentience was fully gained and it began its martial art path as well.

"It's good that you're now sentient,"

Aiden said, "With you in this town from now on, the citizens can be protected."

All the branches on the tree shook, as though it was nodding its head in agreement.

When the blood of those Martial Grandmasters seeped underground, they would become the energy source of the peach blossom tree's life force!

Above the ground, the peach blossom tree was beautiful and emitted an alluring fragrance.

However, Aiden could clearly sense that there were extremely thick roots underground that were extending everywhere!

The roots were strong and frightening, extending furiously to devour all the lifeforce essence underground and absorbing the fresh blood that seeped beneath!

No one in small little town could vie against it.

Although the peach blossom tree was not huge and looked unassuming, its roots were extremely thick underground and had covered the entire small little town!

If its roots could even extend to the Iron Mountain Range…

After pondering for a moment, Aiden said, "There's still an Ancient Essence Lock Formation in small little town made up of 49 flags. I'm going to leave it here."

The martial path of the sentient peach blossom tree was a type of demonic technique.

Although the presence of the Ancient Spirit and Essence Lock Formations reduced the strength of martial artists significantly, the impact towards demons was not great.

With that, it would become much easier for the peach blossom tree to protect the small little town.

The massacre of Iron Mountain Range had come to an end.

A thick blood stench filled the skies of the mountain valley. From afar, the long valley was dyed red with blood and looked extremely shocking!

The three dynasties had been completely defeated this time round!

Without the help of the Martial Grandmasters, the allied army could not defend against the swarm of the beast stampede!

It was already fortunate if a fraction of the army with several million troops could escape alive.

With that, the external troubles of the Great South Dynasty were most likely resolved.

The prince of Great West questioned Aiden why he wanted to attack.

Aiden replied that he wanted to kill people and have everyone buried together with his kin who died.

However, in reality, his true aim was to protect everyone from the small little town and resolve the external troubles of the Great South Dynasty.

"It's time for me to go,"

After standing in silence for a long time, Aiden murmured.

The peach blossom tree swayed and let out a hint of reluctance.

"I don't know when I'll ever come back after leaving this time round. Live well."

Aiden made up his mind and headed outside without lingering.

Not long after, Aiden suddenly paused in his tracks and looked down at a small valley at the bottom that resembled paradise on Earth.
