The Last Primal

Chapter 934 934 - Blood Bath (Part 3)

"He got his hands on it!"

Maran Des exclaimed, "Where is that man from? He's amazing!"

Muran Dorn shook his head. "The Vermilion Fruit had been there since the start of the battle and none of those paragons had the chance to pluck it. However, everyone knew that whoever gets their hands on the Vermilion Fruit would become the target of all."

"You mean to say…"

"That man is not far from his death now that he plucked the Vermilion Fruit."

…

Back on the battlefield.

Simultaneously, all the paragons stopped what they were doing and everyone's gazes landed on the burly man.

"It's him!"

Finally, a martial artist from the crowd recognized the burly man and exclaimed frightfully with a trembling voice.

"H-He's the one from the news! The monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island!"

The burly man was Aiden who had exited the cave.

"Hmm?"

Taban Feng and the others frowned.

Most of the Martial Masters present were at late-stage or perfected Martial Master and had naturally not seen Aiden in the elementary ancient battlefield.

However, a few of the martial artists in the crowd had once witnessed that unforgettable scene beneath the Ancient One's Palace from a distance!

The appearance of the burly man was etched deep in the memories of those few people.

He was a nightmarish existence!

"Holy Fire Island's monster incarnate?"

Although the many paragons present were wary, none of them were fearful. All of them were murderous and wanted nothing more than to rip Aiden apart!

"To think that even the successor of Holy Fire Island would come for the Vermilion Fruit. Interesting," Cadmus Wujia said with a fake smile.

"Humph!"

Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon had an unfriendly expression and hollered, "Since when did the successor of Holy Fire Island join the demonic sects? That sword technique earlier on was clearly the demonic sects' Asura Saber!"

He was not the only one – most of the people present recognized Aiden's saber technique.

Aiden's expression was calm – he had expected to be recognized as the successor of Holy Fire Island.

He placed the Vermilion Fruit in his storage bag as now was not the time for him to consume it.

The Vermilion Fruit had a tremendous amount of energy and he could only digest and absorb it in seclusion martial power.

Consuming the Vermilion Fruit in a battlefield as such was akin to committing suicide.

Now that he had managed to pluck the Vermilion Fruit successfully, as long as he could escape and flee from everyones' pursuit, he would be free!

"I heard that you're the number one monster incarnate throughout history. It's time for me to test and see if you live up to that reputation!"

Taban Feng had a raring battle intent and slammed his golden halberd heavily on the ground.

The earth split and revealed a series of cracks while gravel and sand flew everywhere – Taban Feng's aura was torrential!

To be fair, most of the martial artists present had heard of the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island but there were few that truly feared him.

Furthermore, most of them were at late-stage or perfected Martial Master while Aiden was only at early-stage.

Murong Wolt commented indifferently, "I heard that you once entered the Ancient One's Palace. I'm sure you must have benefited immensely from it."

Those words caused a huge stir in the crowd.

Some martial artists who initially planned on not getting involved were now tempted.

Who wouldn't be tempted to get the Ancient One's Palace's inheritance?

"Hand over the Vermilion Fruit and the inheritance of the Ancient One's Palace and we can leave you with a full corpse!"

Seven Kills Sect's paragon wielded two daggers and his eyes blazed with furious killing intent that was almost corporeal.

"Hahahaha!"

Aiden reared his head in wild laughter and pointed his saber at the group of paragons blocking his path, nodding. "Good, good! How overbearing! You want to kill me even if I hand over the Vermilion Fruit? Let's see how many of you paragons manage to survive me today!"

"Demon!"

Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon wielded his truncheons and hollered with a divine might, "This is not the ancient palace battlefield. It's not a place for you to be brazen!"

"What can you do to me if I want to be brazen?"

Aiden sneered and closed in to the Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon with huge strides. Frostily, he remarked with an icy gaze. "Anyone foolish that stands in my way shall be killed without mercy!"

His black hair danced wildly and his gaze was electric. With an intimidating aura, the figure that was over two meters tall seemed like it was a mighty ancient entity that could murder gods and even immortals who were dashing over!

"Kill him!"

The paragons roared in unison and attacked simultaneously.

Instantly, the void shone with a bright spirit light.

Ten paragons flew into the air, bedazzling like ten blazing suns.

Taban Feng, Cadmus Wujia, and Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon – the three martial artists who were the most apt in melee combat – had closed in.

A halberd, golden three-pronged spear, and the Dragon Tiger Truncheons flew through the air!

Flying swords, daggers, spears, and other artifact weapons turned into streaks of light that arrived instantly with a chilling intent as well.

In the same martial power realm, who could defend against the combined attack of those ten paragons?

The artifact weapons and flying swords came from all directions.

Those who attacked could be considered as peerless paragons of the North Region. Although they had never worked together before, the moment they attacked, Aiden's escape paths were fully sealed!

There was no room for him to dodge and he could only face everything head-on!

The reputation of Holy Fire Island's monster incarnate had grown too much after that battle under the Ancient One's Palace.

Even if some portions were exaggerated and the paragons were indignant, they did not dare to be careless.

Taban Feng and the other two who were well versed in melee combat were slower by a step as they wielded heavy weapons such as the golden halberd, golden three-pronged spear and Dragon Tiger Truncheons.

The countless flying swords, and artifact weapons arrived first as they tore through the air.

Wielding his sword in one hand, Aiden's Soul Power Energy soared, and his body emitted a faint trace of steam. With a gaze deep as the sea, he sliced viciously towards the void in front of him.

That slash struck nothing and did not collide against a single artifact weapon or flying sword. On the surface, it looked like it made no sense.

However, after that slash was made, the void in Aiden's surroundings seemed like they were drawn in by some mysterious power.

Spirit energy swiveled and contorted endlessly, almost turning into a corporeal and massive spirit sea vortex!

Void Splitting Manual, Ripple stance!

Just as the artifact weapons and flying swords were about to strike Aiden, they were drawn in by the vortex's power and their trajectories changed.

Pshew! Pshew! Pshew!

The flying swords brushed by him.

Although it was extremely close, Aiden was not injured at all!

"Die!"

Right after Aiden attacked, Taban Feng, Cadmus Wujia, and Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon attacked together as they bellowed fiercely with lit-up eyes!

Their attacks were extremely precise.

It came while Aiden was still recovering from his momentum and during the lapse of his saber technique!

If one were to analyze carefully, there would be a lapse between the connection of every single sword strike.

That lapse was the greatest flaw of the saber technique.

If this was earlier on, Aiden might not have been able to handle their attacks and might even be flustered.

However, after the Asura, Ward Atrez's teachings, and the martial power of the Dark Blade Manual, Aiden had already made up for the flaws of the Void Splitting Manual as much as possible.

Without any pause, after Vortex was released, the tide in his body churned and produced new strength once more.

Swoosh!

His blade swerved and Aiden retaliated with three consecutive slashes!

Instantly, massive waves seemed to have surged from his blade.

The glimmering light of the blade engulfed the three of them like a massive wave crashing onto the shore!

Void Splitting Manual, Raging Tides stance!

Raging Tides came after Vortex.

Everything moved fluidly as liquid with an unparalleled might without any delays!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

There were three loud bangs!

Aiden was like an ancient God of War and did not budge at all.

However, Taban Feng, Cadmus Wujia, and Dragon Tiger Sect's paragon who had just rushed forward were shocked and retreated a step back respectively.

The crowd was in an uproar!

"He's too strong!"

"There's no wonder he's the number one monster incarnate of history. Holy Fire Island's ultimate techniques are truly impressive."

"Hehe, it's too late to make a conclusion now. While he is strong, these top ten paragons of the North Region are not pushovers either and they all have trump cards up their sleeves. If they're really pushed to their limits, even the strongest monster incarnate in history will have to die!"
