"[Reptilian] Die!"

Pei Syriac's golden robe fluttered without any wind. Arriving behind Aiden, he shouted as he whirled his gigantic fists and smashed down viciously at Aiden's head!

His face was sinister and cold, his strike ruthless!

The gloves that he was wearing were a pair of high grade artifact weapons.

Fierce, blinding lights shone with a bedazzling glow and illuminated the entire cave abode. Pei Syriac's palm was like a blazing sun that shone brilliantly, charging at Aiden with a furious killing intent.

With a dark gaze, Aiden glared at Yang Zahn who was sent flying, seemingly indifferent towards Pei Syriac who was behind him.

*BANG!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

All of a sudden!

The terrifying sound of tsunamis gushed from within Aiden's body. Accompanied with the sound of rumbling thunder, it sent shivers down one's spine.

The young small reptilian body hiding under the raggedy, gray robes suddenly swelled up, filling up the fabric in an instant, making it stretch across the newfound domain of primordial flesh.

The small, weakling of the Draconic Skink hiding underneath suddenly grew almost double its size, and whilst mostly retaining its unique features, it resembles something else, something new..

Golden scales emerged from under the fabric, protecting its owner who suddenly gave birth to countless strains of muscle mass all across its body. It's face rapidly changed, its elongated shape gained a healthier looking rotund shape, end a cute little nose emerged at its center, peaking just underneath those two large, golden gemstones that their owner called eyes.

Lush, pitch black, matte gloss strands of hair appeared at the same time, giving an even greater shock to those Martial Artists watching the epic showdown.

At the same time, his visual change was accompanied with the sound of rumbling thunder, it sent shivers down one's spine.

*PANG!* *PANG!* *PANG!*

Without even turning back, Aiden channeled his pure ancient draconic bloodline and his tendons shifted. He slashed in reverse against Pei Syriac's fist with a surging ebony beam.

*CLANG!*

The sword and fist collided into a deafening roar, causing sparks to fly.

Indeed, Aiden could not release his newly gained sword force continuously.

However, what these pure wretched Draconic Skinks did not know about was that unlike them, his foundation was not of this world, and could even withstand much greater powers than some mortal's might. His Primal origin body was strengthened to such an astounding degree that some meager Crystal Palace Sect disciple, be it core or not- could not hope to contend against.

Grunting dully, Pei Syriac's expression changed starkly as he retreated repeatedly.

His feet dug into the ground with every step, creating a deep footprint.

The usual confidence and arrogance in Pei Syriac's eyes was gradually replaced by terror.

He truly hadn't imagined that this mysterious man, this Aiden would have the energy remaining to force him to retreat even after inflicting a severe injury on Yang Zahn!

Although he was not injured and his palm was merely trembling slightly with a vague pain, that was enough to have him shocked.

This meant that he was definitely not Aiden's match if they were to exchange blows when the latter was in his peak condition!

He wouldn't have a much better outcome compared to Yang Zahn's current condition!

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Pei Syriac's mind.

historical

But at that moment, Aiden made use of the momentum created by clashing against Pei Syriac to rebound himself, speeding faster and vanished from where he was.

His figure howled forward like a sprinting, raging and bloodthirsty wolf.

He was so fast that the void was buzzing wherever he passed!

In the blink of an eye, Aiden arrived in front of Yang Zahn!

The tides had turned entirely.

Even the two elders did not manage to react, let alone the young Martial Knights and Martial Masters that were watching.

After he was sent flying by Aiden, Yang Zahn wanted to retreat with the opening created by Pei Syriac's attack. He wanted to consume a few elixirs to regain his lost health and stamina before joining hands with Pei Syriac to kill Aiden.

However, that thought had just flashed across his mind when he heard the sound of Aiden and Pei Syriac clashing.

The next moment, before he could process what had just happened, his vision blurred and Aiden had already closed in on him!

It was too fast! Everything happened way too fast!

"[Reptilian] N-no! H-how?! How could this be?" Yang Zahn was horrified out of his wits.

Even if he was in his peak condition, he was not Aiden's match given this distance, let alone the fact that he was now injured!

"[Reptilian] Y-you.."

He merely said a single word when Aiden's massive palm covered his vision.

Without his bone spear by his side, it would have been too late even if he had other secrets or artifacts hiding inside his storage ring.

Yang Zahn could only prop up his arms instinctively to try and block against Aiden while seizing the opportunity to escape.

*SNAP!* *CRACK!*

Aiden however, did not show any mercy as he crushed Yang Zahn's arms immediately upon contact. The latter's bones protruded from his flesh with blood and flesh in a terrifying sight!

"[Reptilian] AAAAAARGH!" Yang Zahn cried out tragically.

The next moment, Yang Zahn's voice stopped abruptly. Aiden descended upon Yang Zahn and gripped his throat, lifting the latter up to defend in front of him!

*WOOSH!* *WOOSH!* *WOOSH!*

At the same time, a few bone spears not too dissimilar to the one before shot over.

A few bone spears that were shooting over stopped in their tracks immediately upon seeing that Yang Zahn was in Aiden's hands.

Not far away, the skinny old man had already attacked and wanted to kill Aiden with his bone spear to rescue Yang Zahn. However, he was still a tad too late.

At that moment, Yang Zahn was in Aiden's hands and the skinny old man did not dare to be reckless, wary of the consequences. If anything were to happen to their clan's chosen heir, the consequences would be dire!

The situation was now in a deadlock.

Since the start of the battle, everyone had subconsciously held their breaths in concentration and had already forgotten to breathe. It was only now that they heaved out long breaths.

The way everyone looked at the gray robed stranger, Aiden had changed drastically.

Yang Zahn was not an ordinary martial artist, he wasn't just an average clan member of the Malefic Demons Clan, but their chosen heir, the next Dark Lord!

A dignified young heir was gripped by Aiden by the throat just like that, eyes bulging and tongue sticking out slightly with a purplish expression without being able to say anything.

Yang Zahn's arms dangled lifelessly by the side with his bones crushed, clearly already crippled.

With his arms crippled, Yang Zahn would most likely not amount to much in the future even if he managed to survive.

"[Reptilian] Young man! I advise you to let him go and we can put aside the feud between you and Malefic Demons Clan temporarily! I can also spare your life!" The skinny old man said slowly with a grim expression.

"[Reptilian] Oh?" Raising his brow, Aiden laughed.

The skinny old man continued.

"[Reptilian] You don't have to worry. As a Martial Grandmaster, my word's are firm! I will definitely stick to my words."

"[Reptilian] And if I don't let him go? What will you promise then?"

Aiden's tone was indifferent as he asked with a fake smile.

The skinny old man's tone was frosty.

"[Reptilian] If you don't let him go, you WILL definitely die today! Mark my words!"

"[Reptilian] Heh.. Is that so?"

Retracting his smile, Aiden replied coldly.

"The thing I hate the most is when others, mostly pathetic worms like you dare to threaten me!"

*SNAP!* *CRACK!*

There was a crisp sound before the cave abode fall to a deathly silence once again.

Aiden crushed Yang Zahn's throat and flung the corpse on the ground casually, as though he had just done something extremely insignificant.

Instantly, the cave abode went so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Many martial artists looked at the corpse that laid on the ground like a dead dog in absolute disbelief, unable to say anything.

It was too ruthless!

The dark lord, the young chosen heir of the terrifying force, the Malefic Demons Clan was slaughtered just like that!

Even though the top factions, the most powerful sects and clans have had been irreconcilable since ancient times even Pei Syriac would not dare to show no mercy in the presence of a Martial Grandmaster Elder!

The Elder was bound to make a move if the young heir dies! His life would be forfeit either way.

Everyone looked at Aiden as though they were looking at a dead man.

These elders were all powerful figures that have long since reached the last flickers of their long lives. These journey's were their last tasks, to keep beside their Young Master and ensure their safety as they matured.

Nobody would dare to be disrespectful to them!
