Chapter 449 - Of Rains and Duels (Part-5) (1/2)

”The Preta realm had mounted an all-out assault to enter this level so if the farce of a boring competition is over, can you declare the results Brother Severing Saber, so that we can finish up with the arrays and wrap up everything and get ready to welcome our guests.”

Severing Saber spoke with a grin, a grin that sent shivers down their spine, ”Young Ryuu do you even have to ask, not only did you complete the challenge yet you have managed to complete them in such a manner that you blew apart your competition, who else but you can win.”, his eyes then roamed over others especially those who participated and it lingered for a moment on the would-be saboteur, before he spoke, ”However there is still the matter of honouring the 'bet'.”

The group that lost shuffled on their feet, as the one who tried to sabotaged opened his mouth to speak, ”Now wait for a …mmpphh.”, he was promptly shut up by one of the cultivators from his realm.

The said cultivator glared at him making the saboteur squirm and gain a healthy look of fear as the person spoke in anger, ”Shut up, just shut up, you have already damaged our reputation enough, you have already tried to sabotage a competition where the pride of our realm was at stake and if you speak another word or try to act I.WILL.END.YOU”

The person then looked towards Ryuu as he bowed deeply as he spoke, ”Please forgive us Lord Ryuu, some of my brethren have managed to not only insult you but also brought the honour and pride of our realm to mud because of their action.”

”Daoist Brother, please raise your head a few people do not represent your realm, not to mention you were more honourable than them, it is fine with me if someone wants to have a healthy competition, but I severely dislike cheaters, and there is nothing wrong in losing I have lost to my older sisters thousands of times and have yet to win once but do I give up no, I will not for as long as my heart beats I will keep on challenging them and one day I will win.”

He watched as others swallowed his words before he continued, ”If someone says that you are doing something wrong then please listen to them do not disregard them based on their appearance, I know a senior who is so powerful that even Daofathers bow to him yet the way he dresses and acts you would think he is some poor street-side vendor, it might sound I am trying to lecture you all but please try not to think ill of me but you all should not judge a book by its cover.”

He took a deep breath as he continued, ”The cl.u.s.ter of arrays I gave was something that I knew like the back of my hand as such you should have trusted when I say that some parts of it were wrong, even those who have are not array masters even they would know how dangerous a wrong created array is if you are dissatisfied then fine give an alternative to the array I wanted you to draw I would have not allowed you to even draw them if I had the means to construct everything fast and vast.”

He once again sighed as he spoke, ”In case of alchemy do you need any further clarification.”, he waited for a moment before he spoke, ”Since we have finished with everything can we wrap up, push the hard feelings behind and then work towards a common goal of dealing with our enemy while rescuing your abused brethren.”

He waited for a moment as one by one the competitors bowed their head as they all offered their apology, Ryuu did not say anything anymore except accepting their apologies with a small nod of his head.

”Everyone ready!”, a shout came from Jethrar which was followed by a loud chorus of cheers, since their many failed attempts to enter the next level the group had become extremely agitated and as such Jethrar and Ithrura had pooled their resources to create a special KI cannon strong enough to even destabilize a small-sized planet eventually leading to its destruction.

”Will it work? What if the gate breaks then what?”

Jethrar bit his lips as he spoke, ”It is strong enough to destroy small planets, and even medium-sized one can be taken down with continuous hits from this thing and with enough KI we can easily clear away any obstacles, and as for the Gate breaking it has been theorized that even Dao Father would not be able to break it.”

He was quiet for a moment before he spoke, ”Have you thought of a plan to deal with him, he could be quite a handful.”

Ithrura gained a sadistic grin on her face as she spoke, ”I have heard that he has some high poison tolerance, I would love to see how high it is.”, her face morphed into a scowl as she spoke, ”But what if after stepping into the other realm we have to face a similar situation.”

Jethrar became silent for a moment before he spoke, ”The schematic of the cannon cost me a lot and because of him, I have to share with many others, and we have already drained our captives of their KI if we damage their spirit veins too much we will have to suffer the wrath of our seniors, but enough of that let us begin.”

As such he bellowed at the top of his voice, ”FIRE!!!!!!”

The cannon created by using various precious metals, with layers upon layers of arrays on it, not to mention the KI that we drained from thousand of their captives, many of them who were recaptured, it glowed an ominous blue colour before with an ear-shattering roar it erupted, vaporizing everything in its path.

As it touched the gate, it was stopped for a moment as others held their breath, then a sound like bursting of a balloon only thousands of times stronger was heard, and the array created by Ryuu collapsed.

A roar of approval and cheers were heard as the army began to move, while Jethrar stood with his head held high, as if he had just one a heroic victory, only to be brought back to reality by Ithrura, ”Jethrar is it wise to let those fools to waltz in through those gates just like that, it can dangerous who knows what that conniving fox is planning.”

Jethrar shook his hand as he spoke with a smirk on his face, ”And that is why I am allowing them to move a few fodders will not mean much, normally I would have ordered them to use the slaves but we have drained them to the point that even breathing is difficult let alone their ability to move, not to mention what is the worst could happen.”, no sooner did he say those words that his world turned black.

”Haha, brother Oirzu that was so funny.”

Orizu simply smiled at his companion as he spoke, ”So was I wrong dragging you out of your cave it is good to cultivate but you should enjoy your life a little bit.”

”You are right brother, it was fun beating the Emperor cutting off his limbs and then making the entire kingdom watch as we reduced the Empress to a willing s.l.u.t, and then drowning the entire empire into their blood it was hilarious hearing them cry and beg.”

Orizu simply smiled at him as his hands explored the body of a m.o.a.ning woman sitting on his lap as he spoke, ”At least you are no longer brooding anymore.”

The person laughed only to stop as servant arrives into the room panting, ”My lord a great tragedy has taken place.”

Orizu sighed as he spoke in a bored, ”Can't you see that I am busy so spit it out what is it, and then get lost.”

The person gulped as he spoke, ”A situation occurred with the team in Eden.”

Orizu raised one of his brows as he spoke, ”And what happened with them.”

AS Orizu listened to the report veins popped on his forehead, as the woman on her lap began to please and beg for mercy only to be torn asunder into pieces, as he jumped up from his seat as he bellowed out loud, ”That group of lowly trash how dare they lose half of their army.”
