Few Months Later Taking on the Divine Sword Family Part 2

A cultivator trying to defend Young Master An was cut down in an instant.

"Ever since the North Guardian Lord's Mansion rose up in revolt, his daughter has become the object of my desire..." Young Master An backed away slowly. Happy that Liang Yu did not continue his assault. It would have been better to attack considering the pain he was in. "..I sorry for my wicked plans! Just let me go!"

"The Tainlong Empire is just lake any other, only waiting to sweep and gain an advantage. Nothing more than scum in my eyes." Liang Yu continued the refinement but indulged in talking to bide for some time to recover from the pain. "If they would stand out of the matters altogether and not cause trouble with an already precarious situation, well all would be well. But you, as its prince caused such problems. Shame."

Liang Yu shook his head in disgust. The memories already obtained from the soul of Pan Yang caused his mood to darken. Not to mention the fact about the Heavenly Sword Group that should have attacked them already.

Chalking it up to possible changes in time and that maybe they were attacking the ones who fled the fight.

"A.. marriage between us could help the situation better!" Young Master An yelled towards the carriage. "I did it all for you Yuning!" His pleading was quite a sight to see. The guards that remained even had looks of disgust on their faces. "With my father's support, the North Lord's Mansion can end all of this quickly!"

"And princess Hongye?"

"Pan Yang had designs on her!" The coward threw the blame on the dead really quickly. No loyalty amongst scoundrels. "He even wanted her to perform the rite of marriage in front of all the guards here!"

Inside the carriage, Hongye felt sick to her stomach. Yuning giving her a small look of pity. But the fact the other hid her strength like this made her less sympathetic. After all, she brought the two to the Zhou empire with her.

Feeling the pain subside enough, Liang Yu moved like a flaming Angel of Death. Lightning generated around his feet as he zipped around. Fist exploding out in power as he killed wildly.

*Fwish!* Liang Yu was surrounded by flames as he went after the forces of the two fools. Instead of banding togethor and fighting him, they ran away! Abandoning the masters they were sword to serve.

Spurts of flame kept appearing behind Liang Yu as he attacked. The noise close to that of an old tuck backfiring constantly. The added thrust just what the attacks wilder. Also disrupted small counterattacks.

"I will not die like a dog!" A cultivator at the 9th level turned with a shout. He was a dragon cultivator, by the looks of the scaly features adorning the body. His arms bulged with power as he attacked in desperation.

"Should have never taken the job!" Liang Yu block the attack as best he could currently. But his instincts were to just keep attacking instead. Only when moving did he feel something was right. Pushed back a few feet, with a quick recovery he jumped back at his opponent. Cheeks bulged before spewing out white fire. 'I feel like a blasted pokemon!'

"Raah!" The dragon cultivator couldn't dodge in time, so he attacked the torrent of white fire. The plan was to charge under and attack from a vantage point. "Aaahhh!" His bloodcurdling scream only spurned some of the others to run faster. "My Arms!"

The fire was so intense, the flesh already was gone. With the bones dried out. As the fire continued to push onto the man, the screams were cut off completely. Those caught a little by the fire stopped moving altogether.

Gripped with terror. Pleading for mercy and surrendering.

This prompted those in the carriage to exit.

"Stop!" Hongye shouted. Liang Yu turned to her giving a cold glare. But as a princess, there was not a man alone that scared her to much to speak. But he came pretty close to fitting that qualification. "They have surrendered and can not harm us anymore!"

"Stupid girl!" Liang Yu outstretched his hands dousing them all in flames. Not even waiting till their final breaths were drawn, he tossed them into the Flame Vortex Core. "Did you forget what they were gonna do to you that quickly?"

"No!"

"And you Xia Yuning, your thought on the matter to those who were going to kill you?" Liang Yu could finally feel the pain subsiding in his body more. The Dantians finally stopped the weird process they were going through and were back to normalish. "And the enemy that was able to leave, would just regroup to attack you later would they not? Their word meant nothing since they even attacked the princess they were sworn to protect. Abandon the lords they were sworn to serve, in case you haven't noticed."

The freshly added bodies were refined faster than he thought.

*Doom! Doom! Doom!* A pulse of power left the 3 Dantians. The Flame Vortex Core coming alive in new ways as a nimbus of qi encircled it. Other than that, nothing else happened.

"But you are no better than a butcher!" Hongye shouted in anger. "We could have tied them up or disable them somehow!"

*Smack!* A blow across the face erupted in the area. Xia Yuning had hit the princess hard enough to knock the buns in her hair loose.

"Princess, wake up." Xia Yuning said with an edge in her voice. "The Zhou empire is at war and by the looks of it, the Xiwu empire is not doing that much better. The prince of the Tianlong Empire and the young master of the Lingjiu Palace plotted to kidnap key members of the Zhou Empire and the Xiwu Empire to nurture a war."

"What!?"

"That is what the people will be told anyway. Especially if you keep this up." Xia Yuning gave her an unyielding look. Having picked up a force heading towards them right now, she thought it best to get rid of the princess. "I suggest you head off now if you know what's good for you!"

"She is so considerate." Liang Yu walked pass the princess generating two flame lances. Compressing the flame with each step, he needed to make quick work if things went poorly. "The Xiwu Empire may have fallen by the time you make it back. A lot of unusual phenomenon going on across every country."

"Princess!" One of her guards grabbed her and dragged her to the carriage. Having seen a large dust cloud come their way, it was bad news. "We must flee at once! Listen to Xia Yuning!" Ignoring all decorum, he shoved her into the carriage.

"Ride!" The other guard snapped the reigns. "Thank you for all your help!"

Princess Hongye looked out reluctantly at her friend Xia Yuning and the young man Liang Yu. Something about the way they acted bothered her a great deal. Especially Yuning hitting her.

"We will meet again!" She shouted angrily. Had touching against the mark on her face.

*Shaa! Shaa!* Several cross-bolt fired towards Liang Yu. With an accurate hand strike, Xia Yuning deflected them.

*Fwoosh!* Liang Yu tossed the compressed Flame Lances at the same time. The further they flew out, the larger they became. The horseriders were missed. Then the riders were thrown off the horses altogether by an explosion.

"Tch! so many!" Xia Yuning gritted her teeth in annoyance. 'Need help before the main force gets here!'

*Boom!* The compressed fire exploded. Scaring the horses more than hurting them. In the dust cloud, a few of the advance team started falling.

*Whoosh!* A blue pink piece of metal went through the area at high speed. Cutting the heads off over half of the enemy easily.

"Haaa.. that took a lot out of me." Xia Yuning exhaled deeply. Several parts of her body scaled over like a dragon. Her weapon came whizzing back towards her and was caught by the tail that sprouted behind her. "Need more practice."

More of the advanced team came from behind. They actually did not pursue the princess for some reason. Liang Yu would check into that later.

Part of him hoped they chased the princess. After all the more that died, the better.

"When I say get down, get down." Liang Yu said lowly. Xia Yuning nodded in understanding taking a few steps closer to him. 'This will be pretty exhausting, but hopefully will make quick work of all these forces.'

*Hum!* The Metal Seed let out a pulse and was currently building up power still. The vibrations it produced were starting to spread out far under his Astral Sense guidance. It was really difficult to keep it traveling low to the ground.

Even more difficult to keep it from disturbing the surface. Hopefully, the enemy did not spot the occurrence. As the Flame Lances were stabbed into the ground, it was best to make a better distraction.

Liang Yu created several Lightning Lances and threw them haphazardly in every direction. Some going close to the approaching enemy, some missing altogether.

Xia Yuning as well as the enemy thought it an act of desperation.

'How is he not tired yet from all of this?' Xia Yuning observed his control breathing and the movements currently made. Everything pointed to he should be out of qi.

*Bzzt!* Small sparks of Lightning started to generate in the air. The lances made of Lightning all over the valley started to thin a little. Not dissipating, but separating into the air and expanding out.

"To think you are this bold to take all of us on." Mingye was not liking this. They looked neither cornered nor nervous. The best thing would be to send the "problem' to deal with the situation first. And a disgusting individual was right next to her to take the problem head-on. "Ling Yu, time to earn some of your respect back."

"What do you mean aunt?"

"Go and take him out. They both look exhausted. Bringing their heads back will make sure the Envoy forgives your slight earlier." She was not worried about her own anymore. After all, the decision t get away from the shitty Family had been made. 'The faster I can get away from them, the better I can take care of myself.'

"I understand!" Ling Yu drew his sword and moved in with the advance group. 'I will take their heads and make sure the master knows it was me!' Looking at Xia Yuning and finally getting a feel of her power made him astonished. "Yuning, you made it to the 9th Heavenly Layer! If you agree to serve me, we will be unstoppable!"

"I would rather kill myself you little sicko!" Xia Yuning shouted back with venom. The very idea making her sick. She barely noticed a dark blue tail extend from Liang Yu's back wrapping around her. "Huh?!" The strange dragon qi that entered her was more than pleasant, but also made her worried. 'He's a Flame Martial Artist, how is he doing this technique?!'

"Now!" Liang Yu shouted. The tail wrapping around was to coat her in his qi a little for the attack. As well as push her down if she was to slow. It was not needed. "Star Dragon Shout!" The power was that of his entire Star and Dragon Dantian.

*Bzzzzt!* A large Lightning Field engulfed the area. Keeping those that charged in and those behind completely trapped. Mingye and a few of the others were to far away.

'Not good!' Ling Yu kicked off his horse fast enough to break through the field before it strengthens to much. "Ahhh!" His back received intense electrical burns however. "No...!" He cried out in horror at the sight before him.

Wave after wave of sound passed through the Lightning Field. Close to that of thunder as the vibrations started to change at a frequency none could really hear. The first wave knocked the horseriders off.

The second caused the enemy to stop advancing altogether. Intense pressure hitting directly to the heart and lungs.

But the next waves were the most devastating.

*Huuum!* The third wave blasted the clothes off and the hair along with their bodies lifting into the air. The closest to Liang Yu and Xia Yuning dropped to the ground for only a second.

*Huuuuummmm!* The fourth removed but really peeled the skin off with a few losing their ability to see. Due to the eyeballs exploding in the socket. The final one consisted of the Lightning Field Closing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye it shrunk passing a current that destroyed the electrical impulses in the body causing them to jerk about violently for those that still lived. Once the energy entered Liang Yu, the last pulse generated shattering bones and flesh of those nearby.

"Kiyah!" Xia Yuning shouted as she felt the pain. But it was around were Liang Yu's tail held her. The grip was a little to tight. The landmass around them was blasted away creating a large impact sight. When the humming stopped, the female teen opened her eyes nervously. "Is, is it over?"

"I do believe it is." Liang Yu took a deep breath feeling qi rushing into his body at a fast pace. The Flame Vortex Core was in synch with his breathing as his reserves recovered. 'What is this strange black qi around the area? Why does it feel like I am in a morge?'

His eyes glowed a bright purple as he felt at peace somehow. The qi was that of death and it more than rush to him, it was hungering to be absorbed by him even. The blue-white qi lines appeared on Liang Yu's body for just a brief moment.

*Schup!* The Black qi turned into regular qi and was absorbed then refined.

"Maybe I imagined it?" Not having the time to look into that matter right now, Liang Yu charged towards Ling Yu. "Sup?"

*Ting!* Fist met sword as Ling Yu defended himself quickly. As he exchanged blows with Ling Yu, his Astral Sense went out in every direction checking for any signs of a Dimensional Collapse from the large amount of qi used in the area.

Not a single break or tear was visible. The fight was a good way to find out more about the swordsmanship of the Divine Sword Family live.

'Strange?' Considering the attack he unleashed, he expected something to have happened. Not that he was complaining. A strand of his Astral Sense went towards Mingye on its own. A small gold line entwined in it. 'Hmm?'

Mingye stared in horror as several hundred of the Divine Sword Family were killed by a Young man that the Envoy doubted. She couldn't understand why a blue-white flame passed over the bodies and remains, however.

'They are burning away.. no they are vanishing!' Her sharp eyes caught the lack of ashes in some places. With Liang Yu's mind currently occupied while he played with his opponent relly, he didn't hide his actions as well as usual. 'Something has to be up. But how can I make my escape?'

*Ting!* Ling Yu was knocked away the moment the last of the remains was taken in. He was out of breath with his clothes looking a mess. Retreating to Mingye and the remaining forces, he wanted to get as far away from the monster that was Liang Yu as possible.

Eye above the sky-

.

Far above the sky watching the fight impassively, was the deity this Dimension fell under. A calculating eye observing the champion down below that did not belong here.

The deity was only their partially. Its energies mostly spent on other places. None available to slow the collapse of this Dimension.
