253 Died with Grievance (1/2)

Two swift kills were enough to freeze the entire battlefield on the streets of Upper West District momentarily.

The city guards, nobles, and palace guards were locked in a passive disadvantage against disciples of Bloodfiend Sect, but with Leon's timely arrival, the tides of battle were turned in their favor.

”It's the prince! The prince is here with us!”

A city guard rejoiced.

The spirits of the people were immediately lifted with the prince's presence. What an honor it was to fight alongside royalty.

”He is the prince? Forget the others and kill the prince! The head of Crawford royalties is worth more than the lives of ten thousand others!” A 5-star inner disciple barked with frenzy.

The subsequent attention of all ten outer disciples and four remaining inner disciples of Bloodfiend Sect were shifted to Leon. Their eyes glowed with crimson greed.

The sect will reward them handsomely for the death of every Crawford royalty they contributed towards.

In the entirety of the declining Crawford Kingdom, there were only three remaining Crawford royalties. The Queen was out of the question and the King was always secured in the safety of the Inner Palace, where another Transcendent resided.

They would not be able to find a better opportunity than now to earn some great contribution points!

Explosive strength burst out of their bodies as they kicked away their opponents and all charged at Leon from different directions.

[Burning Blood]!

Burning Blood was a secret skill of burning their blood vitality to gain a momentary burst of strength that exceeds their usual limits, allowing them to fight opponents one to two levels above themselves.

None of the Bloodfiend Sect disciples hesitated to use this secret skill in order to kill the prince! Their skin glowed with a crimson sheen and bloody steam oozed from their open pores.

”Hahaha! The first blood of Crawford royalty will be drawn by me!” A 4-star inner disciple roared in early celebration, completely unfazed by the two dead inner disciples.

Leon was just lucky to catch the two unfortunate 3-star inner disciples off guard. The art of assassination was just like that, allowing someone to kill stronger opponents through sneak attacks.

That was what every Bloodfiend Sect disciple was thinking. Nothing more, nothing less.

The 9th step outer disciples, on the other hand, did not have any hope of delivering the fatal blow and only hoped to gain contribution points by participating in the kill.

Being the center of the blood cultivator's concentrated attack, Leon frowned for a different reason.

Too weak!

Leon secretly complained. These opponents died too quickly for him to gain any insights into the Way of the Spear.

”Your Highness, be careful!”

”Watch out!”

The city guard cried with alarm, seeing the prince had yet to move. He immediately regretted exposing the prince's status to the enemy.

Who knew that his words would attract all the enemy and cause the prince to fall into a dangerous situation?!

Just when countless blood-crimson blades were about to land on Leon, his body vanished from the spot in an instance.

Bam!

The asphalt ground cracked in his place.

”Where did he go?!” A 4-star inner disciple roared with frustration. So close! Just a little faster and the prince's head would have been his!

Everyone looked around furiously.

”Above! He is above!”

A 9th step outer disciple quickly shouted.

In the sky, Leon was gripping the black spear tightly over his head and descending with increasing momentum from a height of 100fts.

”Hahaha! foolish brat, you want to die that badly, huh?! Let me send you on your way then!”

The 5-star inner disciple guffawed.

It was very difficult to maneuver in the air without any accompanying skills or ability. Logically, this should be a rookie move, and the one on the ground should be the one holding the absolute advantage over the person in the air.

If nothing unexpected happens, the stupid brat was going to die very soon! At least, that what the inner disciple thought.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

The hearts of the inner disciples were beating harder, the closer Leon got to the ground for an unknown reason. A sign of impending doom filled their being with hair-raising chills and their expressions soon turned horrid.

Even the surrounding people from the Crawford Kingdom became appalled.

Oh no! The prince is going to sacrifice himself!

Everyone thought Leon was going to trade his life to take down the other.

He did not show any signs of slowing down. He had completely disregarded defense and focused entirely on his attack!

”Are you crazy?! You want to take us down with you?! Dream on!”

The inner disciples and outer disciples all retreated out of the way with abrupt changes in expressions, thinking they had decisively lost in a contest of guts against a brat!

Little did they know, Leon was completely confident in coming out unscathed even if they followed through!

He only needed to concern himself with the inner disciples. The 9th step outer disciples were completely incapable of inflicting any damage on his tempered body!

Bam!

Leon slammed into ground great force and sunk the already cracked asphalt ground into a small crater.
