578 The Start of a Killing Spree (2/2)

”Hmm… I think we should refrain from it for now. I don't want to get unwarranted attention that much. The people should already recognize us in a week or so. According to the information, this place will be open for a month. After two weeks, I am sure we can't find a single monster in this place because they have been exterminated by these many people.

”At that time, the people will band together to protect their lives until the cultivation palace is opened and put our monster cores to use.” Alex pondered for a moment before saying, ”We will see it first, but most likely, we can use it as much as we want after a week.”

”Alright. I will just use something that can easily kill those people without making a big scene.” Sherry nodded.

Anya tapped the ground two times as a stream of light flew out of her staff and went inside Alex's, Anna's and Sherry's head.

Alex closed his eyes for a second, feeling the power-up from the light. He felt that his strength managed to reach the 7-Star Martial Emperor level. Although he could see an 8-Star Martial Emperor within their ranks, she should not be a problem because of Anna and Sherry.

”Let's go. We won't talk to any of them and just leave after completing our objective,” said Alex while clenching his weapons.

The trio nodded and flew toward the group.

Intruding the battlefield, Alex found out that there were around fifty monsters in this area. The 8-Star Martial Emperor surely stood out amongst the rest.

”Crimson Blade.”

The 8-Star Martial Emperor was a female with silver hair. Her blade glowed with crimson color as she slashed a bull monster in front of her.

Surprisingly, the sword cleanly cut two gigantic horns from this bull that was charging at her. Slicing the bull horns wasn't enough for her. She took another step to spin her body one time and swung her sword downwards.

”Tyrannical Slash.”

A sword wave flew out of her sword, splitting the bull into two.

It was at this time, Alex and co entered the battle. Their group stood out because of the way they entered and their masks.

Behind his mask, a flash of astonishment filled his face. He never expected that this woman turned out to be the Martial Arts Pavilion group leader, Chloe.

He shook the thought off his mind and flew toward two 3-Star Martial Emperor disciples. The sword and spear already moved toward their neck.

”Heaven Light Slash.”

Unfortunately, the two disciples somehow managed to react and struck at Alex's sword and spear.

”Blood Slash.”

Both of them had the same technique because they were from the same sect, but this was when Alex showed his superiority.

”Ignition Break.”

Alex changed his technique at the last moment, creating a red glow on his weapons. Upon clashing with his enemies' weapons, it caused a small but powerful explosion, knocking the weapons out of their hands.

”Boom!”

Using the chance, Alex used his Heaven Light Slash again and killed these two. He quickly scanned the area and moved into his next target before they could react.

The next opponent was a 5-Star Martial Emperor, but he was more prepared than the previous two.

Alex paid no heed as he thrust his spear toward him.

”Phantom Trust.”

The spear looked like it was extended to a certain extent, causing him to see the spear already arrived at him despite Alex being so far.

He blocked it with his spear but noticed that Alex's spear was a camouflage. The spear's only purpose was to distract him, so Alex could get closer.

Moving the handle of his spear to block an incoming attack from Alex's sword, he used it as an attack.

”Spear Great Swing.”

Alex was a bit surprised finding someone who used the spear handle as a weapon but regained his focus in a split second. He couldn't use his Ignition Break to strike the handle because it would mean the spear would spin, and the spearhead would come from the side.

A smile appeared on the enemy's face, thinking that Alex wouldn't be able to kill him. Yet, Alex surprised him once again. Pointing out his finger toward the enemy, a ray of red light flew out of Alex's finger.

”Flame of Extinction.”

This time, Alex completely used his weapons as bait and killed the enemy.

At the same time, the other also reacted to this. The closest people, one Black Devil Sect member and one Martial Arts Pavilion Member, leaped toward him.
