43 Chapter 42: The Dragon Vs The Devil Part 2

The elderly man wearing the dragon head piece fumed. He was the exalted sect leader of the Gilded Dragon sect for over fifty years. Before that, he was heralded as a genius of the sect by the previous sect leader who was now the Grand Patriarch. He fought his way up the ladder before finally attaining the sect leader position.

He, Xin Zhao, was not a man to be trifled with like this! Along the three hundred year long history of the sect, none has dared to balantly attack the sect like this! It was a mockery! As a fourth Sea Transformation realm cultivator, he shall stand his ground!

True, he was terrified by the attack launched just now, but seeing as the perpetrator stood still, it was probably a one time use treasure! This was especially convincing considering that the realm of the perpetrator was merely that of a foundation realm cultivator. Xin Zhao was convinced!

"THE STRONG?! I MAY NOT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF TREASURE YOU USED TO LAUNCH THAT ATTACK, BUT IT'S GONE NOW! A MERE FOUNDATION REALM CULTIVATOR DARES TO BOAST THANKS TO A ONE TIME TREASURE! HOW DARE YOU!" Xin Zhao fumed.

He then withrew a large mace from his storage ring. The large mace had a red handle, and it had some sort of fur sash near the base of the mace itself. It contained an aura of ferociousness that could easily scare off Foundation to early Golden Core stage beasts. It was his beloved Dragon's Zeal Mace! It was a Sea Transformation realm treasure that would increase his power three fold!

"Since you're courting death, do not blame me!!" Xin Zhao bellowed before striking out with his mace.

"GOLDEN DRAGON BONE CRUSHING SPINE SHATTERING STRIKE!!" Xin Zhao shouted as he sliced.

Despite what he said before, he did not dare underestimate Ulquiorra. Who knew what else the bastard had in store. Thanks to this, Xin Zhao decided to use one of his greatest and most powerful techniques. He could already imagine Ulquiorra's body getting mashed into paste. As the mace was about to hit Ulquiorra, Xin Zhao saw that Ulquiorra lifted his small childish hand towards the mace.

Reality had betrayed Xin Zhao.

The mace strike he was so confident of was stopped easily by Ulquiorra as he held it with one small hand. Ulquiorra didn't speak, but Xin Zhao could see the indifference in Ulquiorra's eyes. It bothered him so much that he immediately tried to send a punch towards Ulquiorra only to be stopped by Ulquiorra's other hand.

"Is this it?" Ulquiorra's ice cold voice rang out.

Ulquiorra put more strength into his grip. This cause the mace to crack and shatter. Xin Zhao's hand faced the same tragic faith. The sect leader screamed before pulling back his hand. Ulquiorra didn't bother keeping him in place. He let Xin Zhao go. He had other plans than just quickly finishing all of this in one go.

"You!?" Xin Zhao roared as he clutched his hand before eating a pill. His injury recovering fast enough to be seen by the naked eye.

Ulquiorra stared back at Xin Zhao silently causing Xin Zhao to grit his teeth.

"ALL ELDERS COME! WE SHALL SLAY THIS VILE INTRUDER TOGETHER! DO NOT LET THIS INSULT GO UNPUNISHED!" Xin Zhao roared.

The elders around them were already dumbfounded by the exchange that just happened. They couldn't believe their eyes as they saw their powerful sect leader be easily beaten. When they were called, they shuddered at the sight of the irregular intruder. Still, they were elders of the sect, and they had duties that they were bounded to. All the elders even the ones injured or flung came back and stood beside Xin Zhao. Xin Zhao smiled maliciously seeing this.

"ALL ELDERS, ATTACK!" Xin Zhao shouted.

When his voice faded away, all the elders shot towards Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra didn't flinch, and merely waited for them to come. Suddenly, an elder appeared behind him.

"EXALTED DRAGON'S PUNCH!" The elder screamed.

Ulquiorra didn't bat an eye, and merely kicked to the back. The kick was too fast for the elder, and he was flung away like a ragdoll.

One elder then attacked his right sight and another attacked his left. Both wielded swords, and sliced towards Ulquiorra.

Red energy enveloped Ulquiorra's hands. He sent out two bala's to the stomach of the two elders causing them to be blasted away whilst coughing bland. The remaining eight elders saw this, and decided to combine their strengths to do one giant attack. They didn't want to end up like the sect leader or the other elders. Pride? So what? They needed to live to see another day.

"""HEAVENLY DRAGON'S GOLDEN DESCENT!""" The elders screamed as they combined their qi into one attack.

It produced a bright yellow beam that headed straight towards Ulquiorra. As a response to this, he merely lifted his finger once more. Xin Zhao's pupils constricted seeing this.

"No....It can't be!" Xin Zhao said in disbelief as he saw a green beam shot out of Ulquiorra's finger.

The move of the elders was easily cancelled, and the cero engulfed them. The elders screamed, but it was slowly fading out before disappearing. When the cero disappeared, nothing remained of the elders. Xin Zhao grit his teeth, and he punched towards Ulquiorra once more when suddenly a voice rang out from inside the sect.

"That's enough, Little Zhao." An extremely aged and husky voice sounded out.

Xin Zhao looked towards the source, and a smile appeared on his face as if he was seeing his saviour. Ulquiorra looked and saw two eldery men much older than Xin Zhao and the rest. One had an extremely long white beard reaching the floor and very thick white eyebrows while the other was bald, and had a perpetual frown on his face that matched well with his dark sunken eyes.

"GRAND ELDER AND GRAND PATRIARCH!" Xin Zhao yelled out in excitement.

The two didn't bother with Xin Zhao. They looked directly at Ulquiorra. It hasn't even been five minutes, and the sect was already down nine elders. They had to step out unless they want all to fall to ruin. The sunked eyed old man spoke out.

"You will face the consequences of your actions."
