Chapter 473 - The Grand betrayal (part-3) (1/2)

'It feels so warm, I feel so protected.', was the thought that passed through a certain red-haired cultivators mind, as he laid inside the cocoon that looked like blood-red lotus but its colour was rapidly fading.

Ryuu felt at peace, he felt content and safe as he lay inside the cocoon, 'I do not wish to live this place.'

As he laid there his head was slowly filled with various sword forms and styles and with passing second he gained a better and better understanding of each style as he felt countless faceless people practising sword, some exceptional, some good whereas others were so horrible that it made want to puke with disgust, and then all of a sudden he felt as if a burden had lifted off of his shoulder making him speak with disbelief, 'I broke through, I have managed to reach the God Tier in Grand Dao of Swords.'

Ryuu could not help but chuckle inwardly, ”My misfortune turned into blessings but how?”

He shook his head as his eyes harden as he growled with anger, ”I do not know how long I have been stuck here, but there are others who I hope are still my friends, I need to save them from that wench and every second count.”

With that he grabbed hold of the cocoon wall with the intent to tear his way out, the cocoon wall had taken a dazzling shade of gold, but as soon as Ryuu touched it, the wall of the cocoon began to collapse, turning into pure dazzling golden KI that entered into Ryuu's body.

If anyone were on the outside they would have seen the Golden colour lotus shed its petals one by one, as Ryuu stepped out of it and soon the entire pile of petals turned into Golden energy which then disappeared into Ryuu.

Ryuu then looked around to see the previous desolate area had become sunny and refreshing as that of a Spring morning, he then looked down to inspect himself only to frown hard.

”I am completely n.a.k.e.d.”, as the thought passed his mind he closed his eyes as he felt his space ring, his bracelets nearby which quickly flew to his hands as he did not waste any time to don a particular set of armour, the same set he had worn in the second floor when he had second handily slaughtered a giant octopus that had made him go berserk, but instead of the helmet, he wore a face mask.

Ryuu did not know what the miraculous thing was but he knew that it not only healed him completely, but it even managed to make him break through the bottleneck and ascend to the 13th level of Mystic Immortal Emperor Level, he did not harbour any doubt that this was not the only change and he might even look even more handsome as such his mask was quickly on his face.

'The last thing I want is some cheap distractions, and even if I can perfectly control my looks but I am too angry to bother with it.', and with that thought in mind, he disappeared from his place.

True-Spear was forced to watch as the love of her life had her clothes torn, never in his life had felt so much anger, hatred and helplessness, his own martial sister, the same sister who grew up by his side betrayed him, she had destroyed his dantian and then proceeded to cut off his arms and legs with his very own spear and now she was forcing him to watch Zywia suffer a fate worse than death, he wanted nothing more than to tear the smug satisfied smile on Frost Flames face but as he lay on the ground dying there was nothing that he could do.

Beads of tears fell off Zywia's eyes before she could react Frost Flames had betrayed them, the very same woman who she viewed as her sister, the same woman had harmed her martial brother to death, the same woman who had sealed off her cultivation, that same woman had now gifted her to the Preta Lok cultivators to satiate their l.u.s.t.

Her clothes had been torn exposing her body for the world to see, a body that only his parents had seen n.a.k.e.d when she was but a child, but now exposed to the entire world to see, even without her KI she tried to fight back but that earned her broken wrists and a blackened eye, now with horror in her eyes she watched as her would-be rapist's genital was about to penetrate her.

'Mom, dad, brother, please someone anyone, please save me.'

Her would-be rapist's torso disappeared from just about his chest in a shower of gore as did those who held her down, a large sheet fell on her covering her as a familiar voice came to her ears, ”I am sorry for being so late.”

She turned to see an armoured person looking down at her, her attention then fell on the eyes of his saviour, familiar mismatch eyes made her eyes widen as she spoke in a hoarse voice, ”Brother Ryuu, you came.”

”Who are you to stick your nose in our business? Cripple yourself and kowtow in front of us and maybe we would not destroy your soul.”

A haughty voice came to Ryuu's ears as he looked at the person with a bored look as he drawled, ”Pathetic mongrel since when have you become strong enough to speak that in front of I, now your place.”

His words were like a declaration as a titanic pressure fell on every cultivator were from or either siding with the Preta realm was on their knees with the head firmly planted on the ground.

Ryuu looked around and his heart clenched to see his fellow cultivators tied down with the means of Arrays, but what made it worse at seeing the number almost half of them were dead as he could see their bodies piled up in a heap, and those that were captured looked badly injured.
