King Of Hell's Reincarnation

Sovereign Of Flames

"A pillar? Wait a minute, doesn't this look like hell's mandate erected in the capital, right above the primordial infernal realm? I've only seen it once when I went there to make a report but I definitely can't forget it!" The male asked the leader who closed the scroll, rolled it up and returned it to the pouch.

"Hell's mandate? You surely jest, looks like you don't know it's significance, if hell's mandate ever falls or leaves the primordial infernal realm that means it's the end for the infernal realm. It could be a mockery of it, who knows, just do your job and get the pay, whatever it is or what they need it for isn't our business to meddle in."

Bennett clenched tight onto his sword, a serious expression on his face, he had forgotten all about his previous words and his 30 seconds defence stand, the pressure he felt from Yan Ming in his current state was enough to threaten even him.

He took a huge leap towards Yan Ming, thrusting towards his arm, he still didn't intend to harm this precious student of his, setting aside the fact that it would be a waste of his potential to die here, the Frostmoon family definitely won't let him go easily.

Yan Ming retaliated with a wild and brutal swing aiming towards his upper torso, the two swords clashed, the impact creating a slight gust of wind. Bennett stepped back a few meters, his hands slightly sore while Yan Ming was nearly hurled against the villa's fence, his hands were visibly trembling but he regained control in an instant, it felt like nothing was wrong but such a detail couldn't escape from Bennett's eyes.

'I can't believe it, he's trading blows with me on almost equal grounds, even though I can't use my techniques to avoid damaging the capital this is still insane!!'

Yan Ming gripped onto the sword, darting towards Bennett for another swing, this action brought a smile to Bennett's lips, an even more terrifying aura spread from his body, his hairs turned purple, his eyes had sparks of lightning crackling through them.

"Lightning Tribulation Art!!" He screamed out, his force increasing several times over once again, with a light steps he darted forward to meet Yan Ming midway, the two clashing once again, this time Bennett stood in the same spot while Yan Ming was blown far away, crashing into the fence breaking it apart.

Bennett stood on the same spot surrounded by thunder like a deity, he was born with a natural Heavenly Thunder body that gave him a very high affinity with the thunder element and made learning techniques related to it easier to learn, aside from that it gave him a special elemental force, partial control over yang, one of the founding elements of the universe.

The rubble split apart, revealing Yan Ming who stood without a scratch on him, it felt like the hit didn't affect him the slightest bit.

"You really are interesting, I'll give you that, time to go all out." he said, stretched out his left hand creating another sword, spears appeared in the space surrounding him, their tips pointed towards Bennett, a raging torrent of flames spread towards Bennett, the whole courtyard was blazing with fire, spreading all through it's nooks and crannies.

Bennett's eyes opened wide, he didn't expect the so called elemental possession to be this absurd, creating over thirty treasures at once, even the whole empire might not have up to this amount.

Yan Ming darted forward once again, the flames formed an armor on his body, a light wheel appeared on his feet, enabling him to dive and turn mid-air, following right behind him were the spears forged from flames all targeted towards Bennett, spreading out in a formation to attack him from all sides.

"Lightning Viagra!" Bennett screamed out then swung his sword in a wide arc, generating a mini storm made of thunder, dissipating the flames and the spears locked at him, Yan Ming merely docked to dodge it then continued his assault, creating even more spears, hurling them at Bennett.

Bennett raised his sword to block him, an ominous feeling welling up in his chest as he watched Yan Ming who was approaching with a smile.

"It's been long I've felt this thrill, how long has it been." he muttered, raised his sword then gathered a surge of Qi towards it's edge, fused the two swords together changing the shape into a wide broadsword, swinging it down, propelled by the force of Qi gathered at it's edge.

Bennett took the swing head on and was forced back, his hands shaking violently, his gaze turned solemn, his sword had tiny cracks on it already.

'Isn't there a limit to the amount of Qi he can gather? Isn't there a limit to the duration? Every passing second his energy level keeps increasing and it feels like he's forging that sword into something beyond divine treasures, he fused two sword into one and created this, I need to end this quickly.' Bennett thought, his eyes suddenly pulsed, an invincible force spreading out with him at the center, the moment this force appeared everyone in the imperial palace was alarmed.

"Soul Manifestation, a pretty descent one." Yan Ming said with a slight nod, he didn't seem perturbed by Bennett's new power spike.

"Keep them coming, I hope you give me a good time." he added with a smile, raised his broadsword and placed it on his shoulder, a calm expression on his face.

Bennett raised his sword, an endless surge of thunder swirling round it's edge "you'd better watch out now, I might actually accidentally kill you."

"Don't bother, you should be the one to watch out for yourself, trust me."
