In the Continent of Dawn, in the world of Azure Sky. Numerous powers, such as clans, sects and groups governed all sorts of regions and created a society where humans could live in peace without any fear for beasts and the dangers that nature bestows upon its residents.

The Greed of humans knows no bounds and as a power stretches its regions out. Conflicts were inevitable along with rivalries that spanned numerous thousands of years. One of them was the rivalry between the Paradyne Academy and the Thousand Swords Sect.

Legend says that the First Patriarch of the Thousand Swords Sect and the First Headmaster of the Paradyne Academy were brothers that swore loyalty to each other, but something happened in the middle which made them oppose and hate each other to the extent that they became irreconcilable.

Of course, the descendants of the two powers never meet each other eye to eye and would try to kill each other whenever they meet. That was how deep the enmity that they had and it was something that couldn't be solved with just a simple treaty or meeting.

Somewhere inside the Great Forest of Manzur, a group of azure-robed disciples could be seen surrounding a group of fiery-robed disciples of the Paradyne Academy. The leader of these azure-robed disciples was a young man in his late teens.

The disciples of the Paradyne Academy looked exhausted and bedraggled. They threw all ideas of resisting in hopes of preserving their energies for a chance of escape. Glancing at their Senior Brother Kwydin whose body was riddled with numerous wounds of different sizes. Their expressions hardened and they hid their resentment deep inside their hearts.

"Damn, the women of that dog shit Academy really are beautiful..." A male disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect blatantly stretched his hand out and started groping a female disciple of the Academy that madly struggled under his hold.

"You bastard! Get your hands off her!" A male disciple of the Academy shouted, anger visible on his face and his fists tightly clenched until it bled. Staring at his sister disciple being molested right before his eyes. He felt bitter and useless.

"Your tongue is so vicious, how about we remove that for you..." The male disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect unsheathed his sword and the female disciple's eyes widened in shock as she shouted, "No, don't come near him! You can touch me so please don't go and hurt him!"

The two disciples of the Paradyne Academy stared at each other and the male one said, "Don't say that Christine, a man may be defeated but will never be humiliated! I will protect my woman on my own!" He screamed and bit down on the tip of his tongue. A mouthful of blood essence flew from his mouth and infused his body as a tempest of Spiritual Qi materialized around him.

"Hahaha," The male disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect laughed out loud, his fellow disciples stared at the commotion and when they saw that it was him that was going to handle it. They lost interest and returned to their task.

"How foolish, with Senior Brother One Strike handling them all, there's literally no chance for them to escape, so why struggle?" They shook their heads as they thought in their minds.

"So both of you are lovers? How interesting, how amusing! How amusing it is to see you struggle under my grasp..." The male disciple clad in azure-robes returned his sword back in his scabbard before drawing it once again.

But this time, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

For they saw a sharp and cold glint that swept past the neck of their fellow disciple of the Academy as the latter who sacrificed his blood essence held his throat with widened eyes of despair. The molested disciple cried out in anguish.

"No! Jonathan! Jonathan!" She leaped at his direction and pushed her hands on his neck, intent on keeping his head from falling down his shoulders.

However, her hands instead generated a force which sent the head of Jonathan flying backward and rolling on the ground. His body followed suit and fell to the ground with a deep thud.

"Why..." The molested disciple fell on her knees with her eyes looking lifeless and blank.

"Why do you have to kill him?" She asked, and the azure-robed disciple, One Strike, replied. "Why, you say? Do I even need a reason to dispose of our hostages? You guys are now our possessions, remember your place..." He coldly spat before moving towards her direction.

Her fellow disciples looked tragic and their eyes reddened in utmost anger and rage. However, remembering the single strike that the young man utilized against their fellow disciple, Jonathan. The force that they accumulated, dissipated and they could only sit and watch him drag their sister disciple towards the woods.

Anguish moans and ragged pantings soon emanated out from the woods and everyone from the Paradyne Academy shivered in complete rage and anger. If not for the fact that their dantians were tightly sealed. They would've pounced like crazy beasts towards their enemies, already.

Senior Brother Kwydin's eyes shone in a crimson light and a blood red tear fell from his eye down to his chin. His expression looked indifferent, yet the cold and desolate aura that enveloped his body indicated his rage.historical

The fellow disciples of Senior Brother One Strike snickered, "Damn it, Senior Brother just went on and had some fun on his own! I told you that we can just snatch some of them and vent our own stress!" They scanned their gazes on them, particularly the women whose expression turned terrified.

The male disciples crawled and stood before the females with venomous expressions on their faces.

"Hey, bastard! You're not the one that I am looking at, step aside!" A brash disciple unsheathed his sword and sliced across the face of the male disciple as the latter howled and fell on the ground while holding his left hand to his eye. The shock from the attack, the stress, and the pain, combined made him lose his consciousness.

"Trash!" The attacker spat a mouthful of saliva and rubbed it on the fainted disciple's face before moving towards a female disciple and dragging her towards the woods.

Wooom~!

The earth suddenly trembled and a huge commotion surged throughout the entire forest. The birds that calmly stood atop tree branches scattered, forming a dense web of panicked birds that hurriedly left the area.

"What's going on? Is some kind of a beast king, coming?"

The disciples vigilantly glanced around the area with their hands holding the swords on their waists.

"We're in luck! We're in luck!"

Senior Brother One Strike's voice echoed and his robe still looked bedraggled when he returned. When the disciples of the Paradyne Academy saw his return and noticed his appearance and the bloodstained sword that they held. They felt like their hearts were being crushed.

The female disciple, Christine which kept their morale high while they journeyed together in this vast land, was now dead. Along with her lover whom she swore eternity with. Both of them could never fulfill their wishes anymore.

"You bastard! What did you with Junior Sister, Christine?!" A male disciple howled in anguish, his expression pained and his eyes looked misty and reddened.

"Christine? Ah, that woman? Damn, she really was a good one. She kept denying me at first, but when I placed it in, her moans were phenomenal. But it's such a shame that she started thrashing about when I reached my climax and my hands accidentally killed her." Senior Brother One Strike's expression turned lecherous as he savored the memories that he had with Christine.

Sob~ Sob~

The remaining five or so women of the Paradyne Academy started sobbing, forming a chorus which irritated him.

"If all of you keeps on crying like there's no end, I will personally put an end to your cries..."

Instantly, every one of them calmed down as they buried their heads within each other's shoulders. The slight trembling of their bodies indicated that they were still crying. Nevertheless, they tried their best and muffled their cries.

"Senior Brother One Strike, just what it is that you saw in the woods that you became so excited?" An azure-robed disciple clasped his hands together and said,

Senior Brother One Strike's expression, brightened, "Yeah, that's right! Everyone! I saw a nearby Ape Vampire and not only that, but it also has a cultivation of the Divine Soul Realm so almost all of its parts can be sold at a high price!"

The world of Azure Sky had innumerable mysterious creatures that roamed the lands. Most of them could be hunted and sold for Spirit Stones, and one of them was the Ape Vampire whose species was notorious for possessing a Flame Elemental Core that could be used for bottlenecks.

"However, Senior Brother, you do know that an Ape Vampire is a smart creature and had surely placed numerous traps around its territory..." The same disciple asked with concern. Senior Brother One Strike's lifted his head and revealed a vicious smile.

"The Ape Vampire is a species of an Ape that liked the blood of the humans, the most. Particularly, the blood of women. So, if we want to lure them, we need women that we could use as sacrificial lambs..." His voice wasn't suppressed and everyone could hear it including those disciples of the Paradyne Academy.

Instantly, the female disciples of the Paradyne Academy madly crawled towards the direction of their Senior Brother Kwydin with tears streaming down their eyes.

"No, please, don't sacrifice us! We don't wanna die, we don't wanna die..."

These women of the Paradyne Academy never experienced such hardships and could hardly contain their emotions. Kwrydin swept over his gaze at the five or so women and protected them behind him.

"Bastard, just dare to do that and I swear that I will annihilate you and your entire clan, someday..." Senior Brother Kwydin viciously cursed. Senior Brother One Strike lightly chuckled before unsheathing his sword, "Really? Annihilate me and my entire clan? Are you sure that you can do that in your current state?"

He moved closer and only when he and Kwydin were centimeters before each other did he stopped and stared right into his cold and raging eyes.

"Don't make me laugh." Senior Brother One Strike coldly spat before his lackeys swiftly captured the female disciples under Kwydin's helpless eyes.

Witnessing their wretched expressions of despair and their pleading cries.

Kwydin felt heartbroken and thought about how everything has come into this.

Back then, they were finding their way out of the forest before they fell into a trap placed by these despicable bastards of the Thousand Swords Sect.

Since he was sealed, he could only watch as One Strike brought the hysterical and struggling women towards the direction of the Ape Vampire's territory.

Staring on One Strike's back, Kwydin made an oath, an oath which will ultimately cause the destruction of the Thousand Swords Sect under the Sword Sovereign Kwydin's hands.
