Chapter 171: Leave Now
"I will ask you one more time." Kaien tightened his grip around the Archmage neck. "Where are they?" Yeon was slowly recovering from the wave impact with her memories. She forced out gasps as everything became extremely clear to her. "Please..." the Archmage pleaded. "...mercy, It wasn't me, it was him." He tried to explain but it was of no use to Kaien. Kaien stared him dead in the eye, his gaze telling the Archmage if he didn't speak now, he might not live to see the next day. The Archmage swallowed hard and stretched out his palm. He muffled some words before some rifts opened up and spewed Seojun and Li-san. Kaien dropped him immediately and rushed to catch them. He laid them on the floor with profound care. Yeon was already standing there, her vision lucid and locked on the Archmage. Yeon approached him with an imminent frown. When the Archmage saw her coming, he sat up, cowering in abject fear. If he was lucky, the princess of the Ashmoon kingdom w
Chapter 170: Moon Empire
From the depth of the Castle, where all seem to be quiet like a graveyard; like still waters, untouched by the unsteady hands of the wind—came pouring a sound that tore through the silence. "KAIEN!!!" Coming to a halt along the way was none other Yeon. She was still within the castle walls. She wasn't beneath the castle grounds with Seojun or perhaps, she never was. "Seojun?" she said with a gasp and broke into a sprint. Fortunately, Kaien heard the cry of anguish. He turned his head towards the direction of the castle with a puzzled expression on his face. "Seojun?" He didn't waste time staying in the arena, with the commotion that was already happening; it was more or less an opportunity to get out of there. The prince noticed this and immediately stopped the announcer from talking any further and got up. Kaien bolted past the large double doors of the castle with damning speed. Yeon on the other hand was trying to trace seojun's voice but she couldn't pinpoint whe
Chapter 169: Damning Speed
Bajin Bu crashed into the walls which in return, cracked momentarily like glass, another impact and it would definitely come crumbling. Kaien remained where he stood. He looked like he was caught in-between a trance-like state. His hand stretched forward with intent. It would seem like his hand being locked in that position was the cause of Bajin Bu's devastating impact with the walls. Everyone's expression got tainted immediately with unspeakable fear. Did the so-called iron king just fall from a single touch from Kaien? Smokes whirled up into the invisible vacuum of the clear blue skies at rapid pace as it revealed a figure standing a few feet away from the gargantuan crack made in the arena. The figure was a man, and the man was Bajin Bu. "Boy!" His cold void swept the arena like a Shockwave but Kaien remained unmoved, only the edges of his clothing danced to the wave that permeated him "Striking when I'm not ready is fowl play!" Bajin Bu thundered, his voice enca
Chapter 168: Intent
Kaien's expression didn't flatter. He didn't even pay attention to Zhao khan's words. He said he'd kill Kaien by himself when they met. Kaien never thought of it, why wasn't he moved by the word—death? "Are you done?" His words caught Zhao Kan off guard after a minute of silence: Did this boy turn a deaf ear to my words? After all, from the first day they met, it was evident that Kaien had the upper hand and could have ended the sky sect in seconds if no one had intervened. When he looked down at Zhao Kan, he noticed the man was lost in awe. Perhaps he was expecting Kaien to jump in fright or rather throw a fit or something. Kaien didn't bother with him and left the pew. Zhao Kan could watch him exit the arena and then, his hand gripped the hilt of his sword before he could process the thought, how disturbing. Just then, Zhao Kan grumbled inwardly at the thought of Kaien's composure. "Can I face him? Maybe I am imagining things. He's not even worried! it's like he doesn
Chapter 167: Sternly
The Royal Selection Festival was introduced years ago by the Emperor of the Hwan Empire. Solely to choose one of its winners and grace them with privileges of the Hwan Empire. This act had progressed over the years with rules that remained untethered. Until today. The blade came again at an aggressive pace. Luckily, Kaien had rolled out of the way just in time to witness the deathly impact of the fan. If he hadn't, the blade would have probably diced one part of his body. Kaien sighed with resignation of observing the blade and focused solely on the person that was benefiting from it—Lady Umni Loo. "Are you getting tired, my love?" She closed the gap desperately and engaged in combat with Kaien. Her hands connected with his blocking elbows, pushing her back which startled her. She almost lost balance which earned Kaien the advantage to sweep her off the ground before throwing his gaze back at the blade. It rose and flung itself at him at a speed that could tear a hole in spa
Chapter 166: Taken Aback
Icicles smeared the face of the arena at a rapid pace. It kept on shooting vigorously at all angles but a blur moved in between like lighting. Kaien skillfully evaded every single icicle. He moved like an untethered ball. He closed the gap between him and the dome after minutes of evading the icicles. The cultivator behind the dome shrunk with abject fear the moment his gaze caught cracks inundating his cover. CRACK! Kaien punched his way through like a train, breaking the entire dome like it was nothing. After all, it's just ice. The cultivator rolled to a stop and dragged himself up then tugged his body backwards as Kaien descended, his ear picking up the racing heartbeat of the Cultivator. "Yield." Kaien told him before he began approaching the Cultivator, his menacing glare prompted the Cultivator to drown in abnormal fear as he immediately yelled. "I yield!" The first battle was over and it earned a lot of talking from everyone. Kaien appeared in everyone's sentence.
