Aiden was extremely clear about that.
He knew that if he allowed Pei Syriac to survive, it would bring about unimaginable trouble for him, and for all members of his growing family.
For other people, this short period of rest would not amount to much difference.
However, for Aiden, this was enough for him to stabilize his wounds and recover some stamina!
"Pei Syriac, let me tell you one last thing."
Aiden had a cold, murderous gaze as he said coolly, "Even Martial Grandmasters won't be able to protect anyone that I want to kill!"
Swiping his palm across his storage bag, a gigantic, shiny golden seal appeared in his palm!
The top-grade artifact weapon, Coiling Dragon Seal!
In just this short period of time, Aiden had already recovered some spirit energy.
His core circulated and spirit energy surged into the Coiling Dragon Seal.
"Go!"
Aiden flung his arm and the six bedazzling spirit patterns on the Coiling Dragon Seal shone as it descended fiercely onto Pei Syriac!
It was frightening, like a blazing sun!
Pei Syriac's expression changed starkly.
He had not expected Aiden to be this decisive and attack him even under the watchful gazes of Martial Grandmasters!
More than that, he thought that Aiden was clearly exhausted earlier on!
And yet, Aiden had already recovered to this extent in this short period of time!
How strong were his regeneration capabilities?
The gigantic seal crushed down, engulfing Pei Syriac and almost sealing every possible escape path for him.
"How dare you!"
The old man from Crystal Palace Sect roared and waved his sleeves.
"Swoosh!"
Instantly, the sleeves stretched dozens of feet along with the wind, blanketing the heavens as it wrapped around the descending blazing sun in midair!
Although the blazing sun was scorching, it could not burn through the sleeves of the old man from Crystal Palace Sect.
No matter what, Aiden was only an early-stage Martial Master at the end of the day – he was definitely not a match for a Martial Grandmaster in a direct clash!
Pei Syriac raised his head and only felt relieved when he caught sight of the blazing sun wrapped in the sleeves.
If not for his sect's senior, he might have truly been killed by that gigantic seal earlier on!
At that moment, Pei Syriac experienced another sense of trepidation.
"Something isn't right!"
Pei Syriac's heart sank.
Given Aiden's determination to kill him, how could his attack be this simple?
Could Aiden truly be naive enough to think that he could kill him with just a top-grade gigantic seal under the watch of so many Martial Grandmasters?
That was impossible!
Aiden must still have tricks up his sleeves!
Instinctively, Pei Syriac turned his gaze towards Aiden.
His pupils could not help but constrict violently right away!
Unknowingly, a milky white gigantic bow had already appeared in Aiden's hands.
The bowstring was already drawn.
Five spirit patterns shone on the gigantic bow. If one were to pay attention, they might even vaguely catch sight of a sixth spirit pattern that although illusory, was extremely blinding!
To Pei Syriac, it seemed like Aiden was hugging a round moon in his embrace at that moment.
That round moon was pierced by an ice-cold bolt of energy.
Dark black in color, the bolt of energy shimmered with a faint golden glow.
Behind that black-gold bolt of energy, Pei Syriac caught sight of a firm wrist and a pair of brilliant eyes.
Those eyes seemed like they were looking at a dead man!
The next moment, Pei Syriac truly sensed the feeling of death!
The Black Gold bolt of energy-like bolt of energy was getting closer and closer to him.
Pei Syriac could clearly see the chilling glow on the short beam's tip. By now, the elegant face behind the bolt of energy had already turned blurry.
The Black Gold bolt of energy arrived in the blink of an eye!
Although Pei Syriac had clearly seen it, he realized that he was rooted to the spot, unable to budge at all!
"S-Save me…!"
His eyes were filled with fright as he howled from the depths of his throat.
It was too fast!
The bolt of energy was fired almost the same time as when the old man from Crystal Palace Sect wrapped his sleeves around the Coiling Dragon Seal.
"Such guts!"
The old man from Crystal Palace Sect bellowed in rage.
He had not expected Aiden to still have such a terrifying move left after releasing a top-grade artifact weapon!
Initially, the Black Gold bolt of energy only shone with a single gold streak.
However, the moment it left the bow, six spirit patterns appeared on its body.
The light was blinding!
Psst!
The paragons in the crowd gasped.
An early-stage Martial Master had actually summoned two top-grade artifact weapons!
Jorl Wuya only had one.
Even the Martial Grandmasters of the North Region was shocked.
A top-grade artifact weapon!
That was a true killing weapon!
The burst killing power from a top-grade-grade bolt of energy fired from a quasi-top-grade gigantic bow was more than enough to kill most of the Martial Masters present instantaneously!
Even a martial artist of Jorl Wuya's level might not be able to escape unscathed.
Furthermore, Pei Syriac was only an early-stage Martial Master.
He was more than a single realm weaker than Jorl Wuya in terms of strength.
Everywhere the Black Gold bolt of energy passed, the surrounding spirit energy would be drawn into the bolt of energy, leaving a streak of forbidden area made of spirit energy that propagated the Black Gold bolt of energy to an even faster speed!
The old man of Crystal Palace Sect wanted to step in and stop things but he was already too late!
Turning into a cold streak of light, the Black Gold bolt of energy arrived instantly.
All of a sudden!
The jade pendant on Pei Syriac's waist seemed to sense something and shone brightly, releasing a mysterious power.
An almost transparent barrier was formed around Pei Syriac.
Boom!
When the Black Gold bolt of energy struck this barrier, a deafening bang reverberated through the entire place!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Instantly, a series of cracks rippled through the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was an expendable defensive artifact weapon and was extremely rare.
This was given to Pei Syriac by his grandfather on the way here and could defend against the full-powered attack of a peak Martial Master!
Even Jorl Wuya wouldn't be able to shatter the barrier formed by the jade pendant in a single blow.
However, that bolt of energy pierced the jade pendant right away!
The Black Gold bolt of energy was repelled.
Pei Syriac let out a breath and his eyes were filled with relief.
He was saved after that bolt of energy was blocked.
That was because, with a Martial Grandmaster of Crystal Palace Sect present, Aiden would definitely not get a second chance to strike again!
Suddenly, a black gold glint streaked past the corner of Pei Syriac's eyes.
It looked familiar.
Poof!
In his moment of distraction, Pei Syriac felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Instinctively, he looked down.
His chest was already punctured with a grisly wound and blood spurting out like a fountain!
Bam!
The sound of a bowstring quivering only reached Pei Syriac's ears by then.
That strike was way too fast!
Before the sound of the bowstring arrived, he was already shot by the Black Gold bolt of energy!
When he heard the trembling sound of the bowstring, Pei Syriac instinctively thought of something.
Earlier on, Aiden did not shoot a Black Gold bolt of energy.
He shot two!
The two Black Gold bolts stuck close to one another, front and back.
Because the plasma bolt was so fast that they transformed into a chilling streak of light, everyone mistook that it was only a single Black Gold bolt of energy.
The first bolt of energy tore through Pei Syriac's barrier.
The second bolt of energy was to take his life!
The combination of the quasi-top-grade gigantic bow and top-grade Black Gold bolt of energy rendered Pei Syriac's supreme-grade defensive artifact weapon to paper.
That single bolt of energy swept away every trace of life within Pei Syriac's body!
Aiden lowered his arm and put away the black solid large blade into his storage bag with a calm expression without any emotions in his eyes.
That was a display of extreme confidence!
If I want to kill you, you will definitely die!
It was dead silent on the battlefield such that a pin drop could be heard.
It wasn't just the Martial Master paragons of the North Region… even the Martial Grandmasters had not expected an early-stage Martial Master to kill a martial artist of Crystal Palace Sect right before their very eyes!
The process seemed simple and instantaneous.
However, the read of the situation, attention to detail, and precision of timing were all perfect!
Any single delay and this monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island wouldn't have gotten the chance.
The end result was the death of Pei Syriac!
It was exactly as the monster incarnate had said, "Even Martial Grandmasters won't be able to protect anyone that I want to kill!"
Taban Feng, Murong Wolt, and everyone else was even more shocked.
It was only at that moment that they realized that there was nothing exaggerated about how Aiden singlehandedly defeated the paragons of the world's top and foremost sects and clans beneath the Ancient One's Palace nor was it due to luck.
