1024 Chapter 1024 - Teaching a lesson
Kell Yue shrugged his head to try and shake that thought out of his mind.
He gazed at Aiden once more.
The fangs and shuddering aura he experienced earlier had vanished and that man was merely riding on the back of the Golden Lion silently looking like a weak scholar.
It was as though a single gust of wind could blow him over.
"So, you're relying on your status as a Sword Formation Master as your trump card?"
Kell Yue raised his head slightly and gradually said with a menacing gaze, "Let me tell you, in the ancient battlefield, only martial artists who can cultivate Martial Master phenomenons can protect themselves! The true paragons are those who make it into the Phenomenon Ranking!"
Before his words were finished, Kell Yue's Martial Master was already circulating wildly.
The spirit energy in his body was rich and torrential – it was clear that he was already at perfected Martial Master realm!
"Against the power of a phenomenon, your sword formations and spirit arts are worthless!"
The killing intent in Kell Yue's eyes seemed to materialize as he snarled word by word, "If you don't make way, I'll kill you first!"
Boom!
A deafening boom echoed from the ground before his words were even finished.
Aiden leaped down from the Golden Lion and stomped on the ground heavily, bolting towards Kell Yue like an arrow!
A deep footprint extended outwards with cracks from where he was initially standing!
It was too fast!
Everyone merely felt their visions go blur before Aiden vanished from the spot.
Psst!
Kell Yue's expression changed starkly.
A terrifyingly shuddering aura was surging towards him from the void ahead, almost suffocating him!
Buzz!
The stars on Kell Yue's robes shone brightly with a series of glimmers.
However, the light had no effect on the attacker!
"Southern Duel Star…"
Kell Yue shouted.
His voice broke off.
Aiden had already arrived before him in an instant, grabbing his throat with outstretched fingers and lifting him from the spot!
Kell Yue could not even breathe, let alone speak.
Kell Yue's Martial Master phenomenon was destroyed before it could even be released!
With a cold gaze, Aiden gripped tighter on Kell Yue's throat and swung left and right gently.
A series of weird sounds echoed from Kell Yue's body, creaking and popping.
Kell Yue's expression was horrendous and he felt as though his bones were about to break apart. All his blood energy and spirit energy had dissipated and he no longer possessed any strength.
He could not even maintain his grip on the flying sword he took out from his storage bag as it fell to the ground.
The entire process happened in less than a breath.
Everyone was stunned and dumbstruck.
To everyone, it was as Kell Yue had said – although Aiden's sword formation and spirit arts were strong, they could not go against Martial Master phenomenons!
Nobody expected this outcome in a fight between the two of them.
Nobody expected Kell Yue to suffer such a swift and tragic defeat!
In Aiden's hands, Kell Yue's mighty figure was like a duckling, struggling helplessly in midair with flaying legs.
Even the Golden Lion was shocked.
In its mind, there was no doubt that Kell Yue would be defeated.
However, it had not expected that Kell Yue would be suppressed without even being able to let out a fart!
More than that, the thing that terrified it was Aiden's burst speed!
The two of them were a full ten feet apart!
Even if it released its bloodline and attacked with its full power, it would not be able to match that speed!
The Golden Lion's regard for Aiden's strength had been raised by yet another level.
"You're not wrong, Martial Master phenomenons can be considered as the epitome of spirit arts and are the strongest means available to Martial Masters."
Aiden looked at Kell Yue's suffocating purple face and smiled gently. "However, that's only if you're able to release it."
"Ee.. "
Kell Yue could not speak at all and the best he could do despite his greatest struggle was a weird sound.
"Let go of Senior Brother Kell!"
"Y-young Master Aiden, hurry and let go, or don't blame us for being nasty!"
Everyone from Southern Duel Sect brought out their artifact weapons and shouted.
"Hmm?"
Maintaining his grip on Kell Yue's throat, Aiden turned around and grazed his gaze past everyone from Southern Duel Sect like a sharp dagger before asking coolly, "You guys want to attack me?"
Everyone felt their hearts skip a beat and did not dare to meet his gaze!
Some of them were even so rattled that a single glance from Aiden caused them to retreat half a step and tremble from head to toe.
"Don't!"
Lysabel Kela was alarmed.
She was way too familiar with the look in Aiden's eyes.
This was the same look he had when he looked at the ancient remnant beasts in the fight earlier on!
It was a sign that he was about to commit a massacre!
Lysabel Kela came before everyone from Southern Duel Sect and said darkly, "Keep your weapons! Have all of you forgotten that we would all be dead by now if not for Young Master Aiden's help earlier on?"
latter a lesson.
"There's no need for that,"
"Are you going to point your weapons at our benefactor right after you get out of danger?"
Everyone from Southern Duel Sect exchanged glances embarrassedly and did not dare to reply, putting away their artifact weapons hurriedly.
When Aiden saw that, the killing intent in his eyes lessened considerably.
His killing intent was truly triggered earlier on!
Everyone from Southern Duel Sect had already forgotten that he was the one who saved their lives!
If I can save your lives, I can naturally kill all of you!
Lysabel Kela hurried before Aiden. "Young Master Aiden, they were only reckless out of emotions. Please don't take it to heart."
Aiden remained silent and did not reply.
However, Lysabel Kela could clearly tell that the scary look in Aiden's eyes had faded gradually before vanishing.
"Young Master Aiden, please spare Senior Brother Kell's life,"
Lysabel Kela said, "Although Senior Brother Kell was in the wrong, it was because he lost control of himself due to the death of a close kin. That was the reason why he attacked you."
In truth, that was also the reason why Aiden did not kill Kell Yue immediately.
He had just experienced the pain of losing a kin and could naturally empathize with that feeling.
Otherwise, he would have crushed Kell Yue's throat a long time ago just for the fact that the latter possessed a killing intent towards him.
Kell Yue's face was already purplish with bulging eyes and a tongue that stuck out.
His consciousness was hazy by now.
"Young Master Aiden, thank you for saving the lives of everyone from Southern Duel Sect, but please spare Senior Brother Kell's life. Although he was in the wrong, I don't think it was severe enough to render his death."
Lysabel Kela was about to kneel down as she spoke, "I guarantee you that from this day forth, no matter what happens in the ancient battlefield, Southern Duel Sect will definitely try our best to assist you, Young Master Aiden!"
Naturally, Aiden could sense the sincerity in Lysabel Kela.
Furthermore, he had no intention of killing Kell Yue, to begin with – he merely wanted to teach the latter a lesson.
"There's no need for that,"
Aiden waved his robes and prevented Lysabel Kela from kneeling.
At the same time, he relinquished his grip.
Kell Yue fell to the ground limply and gasped in huge breaths with wheezing sounds, as though he wanted to consume every single bit of air in the universe.
Lysabel Kela was overjoyed.
Everyone from Southern Duel Sect heaved a breath of relief and swarmed forward as well.
Some people took care of Kell Yue while some of them bowed deeply to Aiden. "Thank you, Young Master Aiden."
