“Not bad, you can block the dagger from my sleeves!” the man who had attacked said. A devilish smile suddenly appeared on his arrogant face. “Since you can block so well, let’s see whether I can shoot my daggers faster or you can block them faster!”
Although the man’s face still held a smile, he rapidly waved his sleeves around.
Whish!
Many short daggers, glinting in the bright light, shot toward the audience without any specific target. It caught everyone unawares.
The young practitioners yelled in shock and pain as blood splattered everywhere.
“My hand! My hand had been sliced off!”
“Ouch! It hurts! My shoulder has been stabbed!”
“Oh my God! Someone died! Someone’s head got chopped off!”
Miserable yells of fear and pain rang out in the garden.
Extreme fear spread across the crowd, and everyone immediately activated their Essence Martial Power to form a huge shield.
“You! How dare you hurt people?”
Hong Qinghe had not expected the man to be so vicious. In just the blink of an eye, the man had attacked, injured, and killed people!
“Hmph.” After Hong Qinghe spoke, the man stopped as if he was no longer interested. “You can only block a single dagger. Indeed, trash will always be trash.”
“Damn it!”
Hong Qinghe furiously leaped out and stood in front of the crowd. He glared at the five of them and said, “Don’t think about leaving today after hurting our people. I’ll never spare you!”
When the daggers stopped flying, the crowd finally caught their breaths. They looked at the five men with fright. “They’re so scary. They can injure so many people just with a flick of their hands. How high is their cultivation?”
“Luckily, we have Young Master Qinghe. He’s indeed the strongest individual amongst Fengyang prefecture’s youths. He’s so responsible.”
“I hope that… He can defeat the five men.”
At that moment, Master Huo’s expression turned unpleasant. His heart was rife with shock.
“Mystic Martial realm! Five Mystic Martial realm experts! Plus, they look so young! How is that possible? I thought that the entire Tian Zhao Dynasty had fewer than a hundred Mystic Martial realm experts.”
Gong Sunheng stared at the five newcomers and calmly said, “That’s in the past… You should know that the recent years have been very different. No matter where it is, geniuses have emerged like the blossoms of spring. Naturally, many of these geniuses are freakishly talented. Moreover, it’s nothing to reach the Mystic Martial realm at the age of twenty. I heard that in the Alchemy King’s mansion, there’s a twenty-five-year-old who’s already in the Heavenly Martial Realm.
“What?” Master Huo gasped. “Heavenly Martial Realm!”
The realms in cultivation were the Spirit Martial realm, the Essence Martial realm, the Mystic Martial realm, and the Heavenly Martial Realm.
The strongest cultivator in the entire Tian Zhao Dynasty was Emperor Ying Huang, who was in the Heavenly Martial Realm!
At the same time, he was the only Heavenly Martial Realm expert in the empire.
Naturally, other realms above the Heavenly Martial Realm also existed. However, they were too distant from Master Huo, who was only in the Mystic Martial realm. It was impossible for him to experience the worlds beyond that, and hence, he knew nothing about them.
As the two of them spoke, the five unwelcome guests suddenly burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! You won’t spare us? You’re Hong Qinghe, right? Come and fight with us. If you win, I’ll spare everyone here. Otherwise…”
The man coldly smiled, and his tone became vicious. “Otherwise, I’ll kill everyone here!” To these men, everyone here was just a fish on the chopping board waiting to be dismembered by them.
The venue fell silent.
After a short while, exclaims of disbelief rang out one after the other.
“What?”
“How scary! They want to kill us all?”
“No! In my opinion, they are just being presumptuous! How can the five of them kill all of us? They can only dream!”
