The Mighty Spear

"The Thousand Demons Sword Technique!"

A man dressed entirely in green, claiming to be the Bloody Demon Prince, shouted loudly as he mentioned the name of the sword technique he used to attack Julius. Julius himself was already prepared for the opponent's attack. Meanwhile, the spectators of the battle anxiously awaited to see which side would emerge victorious.

Suddenly, the Bloody Demon Prince multiplied into many. If counted, there might have been around a thousand of them. They immediately surrounded Julius, ready to overwhelm the young man. Initially, Julius utilized his family's renowned technique, the Thunder God Universe Splitting Sword, but it wasn't very effective against the sheer number and speed of the opponent's demonic shadows. Eventually, the young man decided to employ the Spear of the Universe Deity.

Blarrrr!

A tremendously powerful lightning strike directly assaulted all the demon shadows summoned by the opponent. How shocked the man in green attire was when his powerful attack failed in just one strike, not even by the opponent's attack. At that moment, Julius merely lifted the spear of the Universe Deity, causing the spear to emit waves of lightning power.

The man in green attire was truly infuriated and fearful this time by the power possessed by Julius. He never expected the young man to wield such a divine artifact. The spear emitted black lightning bolts that, upon hitting a person, seemed to tear apart their soul, causing them to experience a terrifying sensation.

The man in green attire realized that his opponent was truly formidable this time. He didn't want to take the risk of continuing to fight the young man. He seized the opportunity to leave the place. So, when the time was right, he immediately departed.

Blaammmm!

Not far from where he stood, the man in green attire's attempt to flee was halted. A pair of youths who had been Julius's opponents blocked his path and delivered blows. Although they couldn't injure him, it was enough to let Julius know that his opponent intended to escape. Then, with one swift motion, Julius struck the head of the man in green attire with the Spear of the Universe Deity in his hand.

The body of the man in green attire shattered into pieces from the blow of the spear wielded by Julius. The leader of the Fire Bear Demon group instantly perished. Julius then stored away his spear of the Universe Deity.

"Thank you for your help, friend. My siblings and I from the Carrillo Family are indebted to you for saving us," said the young man who claimed to be from the Carrillo Family, while bowing.

Julius returned the bow with a smile and replied, "Don't be too modest, Carrillo brothers. It's our duty to help each other when facing those demons," Julius replied.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Carrillo Alvaro, and this is my sister Carrillo Elvira. May we know your name?" asked the young man who turned out to be Carrillo Alvaro.

"I am Tiberius Julius," Julius replied briefly.

"Ah, so you're the young master of the Tiberius family. It's truly impressive how you managed to defeat such a formidable enemy. I'm really impressed."

Suddenly, Marcos Navarro and Jovin Cortes joined the conversation with Julius and the two siblings from the Carrillo Family. Marcos Navarro immediately praised Julius and enthusiastically discussed Julius's battle. Carrillo Elvira seemed displeased with someone interrupting others' conversations. Meanwhile, their elder brother, Carrillo Alvaro, just shook his head with a wry smile.

"May we host the three of you, these remarkable youths? There are also important matters that the two of us would like to discuss with you," Marcos Navarro offered.

"Sorry, sir, I'm in a hurry to travel. Your kind intention, I'll keep it in mind. If there's an opportunity, I'll definitely fulfill a friend's invitation," Julius politely declined Marcos Navarro's invitation.

Meanwhile, Carrillo Alvaro and his sister exchanged glances upon hearing Marcos Navarro's invitation. It seemed that both of them were reluctant to accept the invitation from the man dressed in gray. They didn't quite like the first impression shown by the man in his forties and would rather avoid being with him.

"We also apologize, sir. There are urgent matters we need to attend to, so we can't stay in the city for long. Please understand and don't take offense at our inability to accept your invitation," Carrillo Alvaro refused Marcos Navarro's invitation.

Marcos Navarro and Jovin Cortes appeared disappointed to hear the response from the young men. However, they realized they couldn't force them to join. Marcos Navarro took a deep breath and accepted the rejection from the youths.

"Well, in that case, perhaps you do have urgent matters that cannot be postponed even for a moment. It's a pity because I've gathered some great practitioners and some senior figures among them for this meeting. Hopefully, we can meet again some other time," Marcos Navarro said.

 Julius then bid farewell to Marcos Navarro. Unlike Carrillo Alvaro and his sister's response, Julius seemed intrigued upon hearing that Marcos Navarro was gathering great practitioners, especially senior practitioners in the world of cultivation. It was undoubtedly attractive to those thirsty for martial knowledge.

"Is it true what you said, sir? Is the Mega Slasher, the senior practitioner who owns the sword of a million winds, also present? Rumor has it that the old man is traveling to this city. We've come all the way from the southern land to meet him on the orders of our family leader," Carrillo Alvaro said, showing interest in the meeting organized by Marcos Navarro.

"I'm not quite familiar with the renowned figure you mentioned. But yes, we did receive an invitation to the meeting. You can check for yourselves later at the event," Marcos Navarro replied, realizing that Carrillo Alvaro was starting to become interested in his invitation.

"Well then, sir...," Carrillo Alvaro started his sentence but paused as he didn't know the name of the person he was talking to.

"I'm Marcos Navarro, and this is my friend, Jovin Cortes," Marcos Navarro introduced himself.

"Ah, yes. I apologize beforehand, Sir Navarro, if our previous attitude was not pleasing to you. We'll join you in attending the meeting, sort of to find out the whereabouts of the person we're looking for. In other words, we're here both to fulfill our family duties and to investigate," Carrillo Alvaro said. "And what about you, Julius?" Carrillo Alvaro asked Julius next.
