10 invasion of the demon continent part-3

tournament ring, fire capital

"the next round, the young master of the phoenix family Ren Phoenix and the newcomer who had utterly obliterated the young masters of the cloud and dragneel families, Marcus Corvin!!!" shouted the announcer as the two people came onto the stage,

Ren had deep red hair and eyes and had very fancy robes while Marcus was wearing common robes and had black hair and black eyes,

"brother look those two people are fighting, brother!!!" Lilly shouted towards the half-asleep albus who was jolted awake,

'come on Lilly, why are you even interested in the fight?? you could easily end those two with a single thought, besides, i have better things to do than watch a typical xianxia plot show itself, like sleeping, yeah definitely important than the fight' he thought, he sleepily watched the phoenix young master use the red flames to try and kill the man called Marcus,

the four families had unique traits that they had inherited from their ancestors, the supposed level 3 demon beasts,

the summer family had inherited the power of lightning from the thunderbird,

the dragneel family had inherited the power of wind from the roc,

the cloud family had inherited the power of water from the black turtle,

the phoenix family had inherited the flames of the phoenix,

as the fight continued Marcus had shown his superiority and defeated the young master,

albus watched half-heartedly as the fight ended and the announcer came on to the stage,

"now the final fight, the young master of the summer family and Marcus will now begin-"

"i would like to say something!!!" Marcus interrupted the announcer, he walked forward and pointed his sword towards the area where the young master of the summer family, Riley summer can be seen sitting with the princess of the fire kingdom,

"Riley summer, i challenge you to a fight to the death, if i win, your family will retract the engagement between you and the princess" he shouted to which the young master showed an angry face as the first princess had hidden tears in her eyes,

'yep, typical xianxia story' albus though lazily but he made the mistake of looking at his sister,

"brother is that girl being forced into marrying that ugly guy??" she asked as albus started to sweat,

what no one knew was that, a year ago, Kane had tried to set up a marriage between Lilly and the young master of the moon family, the secluded family of their mother which is said to be on par with the Draco family, but when albus had heard of it he immediately used all his powers and techniques to beat up his father, from that day on, whenever Lilly sees a person being forced into marrying someone they don't like, she would try to imitate her brother and try and break the marriage by force, but albus was always forced to rescue her from some dangerous attack,

before his violent sister could do anything he turned towards the summer family head and said,

"hey old man summers, was that girl forced into a marriage by you??" the said man shook his head and said,

"as far as i know my son had said that the princess had wholeheartedly agreed to the marriage, i agreed to the marriage because the girl has the rare elemental physique, it makes it so that whoever marries her would be able to advance their mastery over their element thanks to her physique" he said to which albus nodded and sent one of his guards to bring the said princess to him,

while this was happening the young master and Marcus were already fighting in an extreme way,

soon the girl was brought to the crown prince,

"girl, tell me clearly, did you willingly agree to the marriage with the young master of the summer family??" he asked, to this, the girl looked towards the family head with fear,

"don't worry, that old goat is incapable of harming you as long as i am here," albus said to which alexander had a depressed face,

to this, the girl shook her head as albus sighed while alexander was angry,

the girl's body shook as she tried to hold back her tears and said,

"he threatened me that if i did not agree to the marriage, he will kill everyone in the kingdom and my family!" she said,

to this Lilly saw red and jumped out of the booth and proceeded to beat up the young master under the stupefied gaze of the crowd and Marcus,

alexander himself was looking quite furious,

"according to the laws set by the founder, it is forbidden to force someone into marrying into the family, and that brat also dared to say that he will wipe out an entire kingdom?, my prince, as the head of the summer family, i hereby declare Riley is no longer a part of the summer family!!" he said to which albus nodded but he was already in deep thought,

he did not understand how a brat of 14 years age got the power to destroy an entire kingdom, albus used his senses to probe the kid and what he found shocked him

"demonic qi??" he mumbled
