Dragon Empire

Still silence is what was left after the intense duel with Moi, it might be that people were impressed and awestruck by such a captivating duel, now if an ordinary training session can raise people's interests so high, then what would a one in a million years tournament do to the people?, waiting for it became a test of patience.

...

Across the southern villages and far beyond the boundaries of Meka Country was a cave , at a distance, one could feel suffocated and teared apart due to the scary presences surrounding the cave, the black figures could be seen guarding this cave, it gave off an ancient feeling, everything else was eerie not to speak of the location which was in a hidden place, far away from human civilization.

Inside the cave was a dimly lit room, in the middle of it stood an elegant young man in black robes releasing a fearful aura harmful to any ordinary soul. A mask had hidden his face but still he looked just perfect to the eye.

With hands clasped behind his back, "Speak."

"Leader I just received news... a notification jade - "

Suddenly the black figure felt himself suffocating, every last bit of breath leaving his body...

" Leader... I... "

Boom!

The black figure was sent flying without even attacking him...

" You of all people should know better that I despise people who beat about the bush, it wastes my time, speak before I end your life"

Biyu was terrified, their leader was becoming more like the devil himself each passing day, things like love and sympathy were distant and had no place in his heart. He felt that whatever he was going to say next should be as short as possible, otherwise the psycho of a leader will really end his life.

"Leader, Lisha just confirmed that there might be treasures in the Southern villages, saying all this in one breath for his dear life, he noticed the dark clouds drifting apart, the atmosphere became a bit sunny at least that was on his part he clearly doesn't know about others.

"Lisha also confirmed that there are battle geniuses and Martial arts prodigies in Southern villages and an order is all they need".

Hearing this the elegant yet eerie young man turned around to face Biyu, his gestures seemed flawless.

What looked at Biyu was a golden mask, the black figures called it the mask of indifference. Even the mask felt colder to the touch. For a moment he wondered how the man before him looked without his cold mask. He imagined the kind of face that was of the devil himself, he shuddered just from the thought. He felt grateful that it was covered by a mask. The golden masked man looked like the prince of darkness.

The black robed Biyu swallowed hard, "those eyes..." he muttered.

After what seemed like eternity, the golden masked man responded, "Tell them to wait for orders, I don't tolerate mistakes".

With that the black robed Biyu disappeared without a trace.

Inside the golden mask, a wicked smile graced the man's lips, " everything is moving according to plan I guess... ". Then just a twist from his fingers, he disappeared in thin air as if he was never there.

....

In the hall a man sat on the beautiful ancient like throne wearing a nonchalant expression on his face unfazed by what was happening before him. lately Bing had informed all the members about the incoming geniuses from the Southern villages.

Each master present had a force which they controlled, the others were wanderers and heads of powerful families, therefore in their struggle for power, they each had factions where they trained and groomed the geniuses who became powerful cultivators.

"Right! send of all of them to the drunken force, I don't mind... "A middle aged man said casually ignoring all the presences around him.

" Drunken monster Muchen, do you think that this is drunken King alliance, anyone here can crush you... "a young man said in all seriousness without any hint of smile in his eyes.

" Hahaha, Tao Song I admit you have some skills but I don't think that gives you a chance against me, you are just a hooligan who is lucky that's all".

"Good! Can you stop talking...come and fight me if you dare", a youth with an eye patch and a strangely wicked smile on his face interfered, "I mean you can just leave all those geniuses to me don't you think?..."

People swallowed hard, they couldn't underestimate Bo Guang, leader of the moonless moon, everyone was aware of each other's strengths but Bo Guang's strength was questionable, each time he kept on surprising all of them.

Even Chen li had to spare a glance to the young man before him. In his opinion he felt that Bo Guang usually hid his strength...

"This is getting very boring... How about all of you fighting me, I don't mind", another voice boomed but unlike other familiar voices this one was chilly and sounded all feminine. A beautiful young man sat looking at all of them with expectations. His cultivation skills were a mystery, he was completely changing to a woman.

"This is getting somewhere... Even the female looking Yuze Zhi is interested ", Bing was pleased with the overall twist of things, he only hoped that the battle maniac Chen li doesn't interfere. But then his fears haunted him...

" This sure is interesting..." with fighting spirit, "Why don't you just fight me all of you and if you manage to scratch me I will give you a chance..."

Silence reigned again, all eyes on him, Chen was smiling.

Right beside him, Bing had a cold glint flash across his eyes but no one was able to see it before disappeared as soon as it came.

"I will suppress my cultivation...So please fight me . My left and right wing Wen Shi and Chun Fang will help you" Chen begged everyone.

Everyone present became wary some, they knew the extent of Chen's power the leader of the dragon empire but this was everyone's expectation anyway, that was how Chen handled most of everything in the dragon empire.

"Ah! at least leader is kind enough to give us all the chances we need... What are you guys waiting for, let's start fighting or should I go first? I clearly don't mind you know. "Yuze Zhi the female looking youth said with a nonchalant expression, his eyes turning even chilly to the bone.

A man with striking features stood up, at the same time giving off a feeling of loneliness. He was at the top of this world, with slow gestures," What are you waiting for". Chen couldn't understand anything, these people were so eager to fight and yet...

Before everyone else attacked, they felt a force... A force so strong that it pushed them to their knees while others were having a hard time to walk. In the end, all of the them were already down screaming in pain, but wait!, there were two more standing.

Traces of blood from the eyes, nose and ears could be seen on Bo Guang, while he stood his ground, [ it was a good thing I am on second level of the devil's aura, otherwise I could all be screaming in pain].

On the other hand the feminine youth stood all smiling, unaffected by Chen's aura, "Oops I guess that calls for a serious fight", Yuze grinned.

Right in front of him one remained completely unharmed despite the suffocating aura, but as usual he expected nothing less from this lady, her strength were just a mystery. A smirk found its place on his lips, "Okay thank you two, I really appreciate your kindness". Chen laughed hysterically.

Suddenly the space around Yuze and Bo felt like it was crampled, they were being squeezed even their bones had cracking sounds. It's only after so much pressure that it shattered. Without giving them room to breath Chen threw kicks and punches, this time no skill was involved, of the two Bo Guang had the most difficult time, he was soon reaching his limit while Yuze's body gave off an icy glow as he fought the lunatic.

PUU! PENG!

Chen's body froze as it shattered to pieces.

Yuze couldn't believe it! and so was everyone else, well except for Bing, just freezing him was all it took to defeat him. But it seems he had celebrated so early because all what he saw before he blacked out was the face of the man with opposing eye colors smiling at him, a smile that was dangerously threatening and yet enchanting.

Chen scruitinized the feminine youth before him, his intuition told him that there is more to him , an endless mystery, staring at Yuze for some time, " I was forced to use a quarter of my strength, who is this young man?...", Chen li muttered, he has never paid so much attention to anyone except Bing, his right and left wings that stood out. A sigh escaped his lips, "Bing will be in charge of the new geniuses and he will assign them to any of you if he sees any need". Chen resigned.

Bing's eyes had a dangerous light, while looking at Yuze's sleeping form, "Indeed, I will assign them". [He isn't bad at all, he has potential!].

- Back in blood culture village -

An intense duel was taking place, the training arena was shredded to dust due to pressure behind Martial king's dragon palm. And right there you could see a youth performing his beautiful sword dance.

"Mountain rip skill! ", Sony roared, the pressure from the sword wave felt like no matter what you did, it was unstoppable.

Shua!

Taking a few steps back, martial king Xin, faced the raging sword wave head on while unleashing his strongest attack,

The level of complete misery: Secret skill of dragon palm, though it was hundred times powerful, it would do more damage to the opponent when used in defense.

His hands glowed while it took every bit of strength to stop the wave. A few traces of blood trickled from his mouth.

People watched in awe, not believing their eyes, how could Sony's progress be this fast? And he just injured an elder, martial king by that fact. Indeed the dragon bone geniuses are treasures, worthy to be ranked fourth on the dragon bone list. But if this is the power of a fourth rank on the dragon list, the power of the first was disastrous, They could only shudder in fear.
