Chapter 39 - City of Burning Flame(PART 2)

1 hour later!

Julius, who had already found the new restaurant and paid for a private room, calmly enjoyed his magnificent meal.

When Julius finished paying for everything and was about to leave, it was the same time he found 2 familiar and unpleasant faces, being escorted by groups of men, one of the men was without a leg.

"He's the Patriarch! He's the one who did it with big brother Matheus!" - A man shouted as he pointed at Julius.

"Yes, Patriarch, it was that bastard who disregarded the name of the Radimund Clan and tore my leg off!" - Said the man with no leg.

That was the pair of idiots who had provoked Julius in the first restaurant, from which Julius ripped the leg off one of them.

The person they were talking to was an old man who looks 60~70 years old, had a very calm appearance and seemed quite harmless, but Julius knew that this was just a front, it was noticeable to anyone with good senses, that this old man was someone cruel, smelling of blood.

"Are you the one who did this young? I see you're quite talented, Stage 4 Gold Fighter, looks 20 at most, really very talented, can I know which Family or Clan you're from?" - The old man asked, even though he was angry, he wasn't dumb and knew how to read his enemies' cultivation before he did anything.

"The strength I belong to, no matter what a stinking old man or you, his stench gets this far." - Julius said as he waved his hand in front of his nose and made a disgusting expression.

A vein ran from the old man's head, his eyes sparkled with an incredible murderous intent, which caused many in the neighborhood to retreat.

"Since you wish to die so much, I will grant you this wish." - At the end of his words, a long saber appeared in his hands and the next instant he was already in front of Julius.

'A Stage 7 Spiritual Master, your strength does not seem to be very high apparently, or is it because I became stronger than expected?' - Julius wondered inside while he completely disregarded the old man attacking him.

When suddenly Julius disappears, leaving several shadows while moving, he has just used the [Art of Innumerable Shadows], making the Patriarch err.

"If that's all it is, it's disappointing." - Julius said quietly when a sword appeared in his hands.

[Sea Division]

Julius used a Sky Grade Technique, [Sea Division].

Right around his sword, a large amount of Qi gathered soon took a deep blue color and then Julius waved the sword, a powerful, devastating bundle of Qi advanced.

Seeing this, the Patriarch's expression, which was a bit relaxed, darkened, he felt the danger coming from this strike, it was frightening to the point that a Spiritual Master felt enormous danger.

[Magma Shield]

Suddenly boiling lava formed from the Patriarch's Qi and with the swing of his saber upwards, a powerful barrier of Magma formed.

BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!

A thunderous explosion echoed when an intense tremor and some nearby shops ended up being damaged.

Soon the dust descended, showing the shocking scene of Julius without a scratch, as for the patriarch, there was a long cut on his clothing, but there was no wound on his body.

A stunning look was on the Patriarch's face, but soon it was replaced by an outrageous fury.

"HAAAA! HAAA! DIE!" - Roaring furiously, the Patriarch advanced like a beast toward Julius, flames exploded from his body, causing the temperature to rise greatly.

Julius frowned slightly and thought. - 'That's why he's weaker, he's a Cultivator focused on Elemental attacks...'

In the Cultivation of Qi, there are 2 types of Cultivators, the Physical Cultivators, Julius for example, is a Cultivator who focuses on improving his physical with Qi, and there are the Elemental Cultivators, who seek greater capacity to cause damage, from the Elements, the Patriarch for example, who chose Fire and Earth as focused elements, thus creating Magma.

And usually, the Elemental Cultivators are physically weak, but when their attacks hit their opponent, the damage is frightening.

'Unfortunately he's too slow.' - Julius thought he felt contempt for the Patriarch.

When the flaming saber that was dripping reached him, Julius reached out and then used something he rarely used.

[Dragon's Qi]

In an instant, his Qi enveloped his body, forming drawings of beautiful Celestial Dragons.

Julius has now reached the 4th Layer of [Art of the Heavenly Dragon King], Qi of the Heavenly Dragon, which has greatly improved the power of his Qi, being compared to that of a Heavenly Dragon.

And a Celestial Dragon carries Yin properties, to be more specific, cold and refreshing properties.

When the Patriarch's saber was about to hit him, Julius surrounded his right arm with [Dragon's Qi] and the next instant the saber hit him!

A shocking scene arose, the saber that was full of flames and dripping drops of black flames, which as they touched the ground melted it, simply went out, a thin layer of ice even formed on the surface of the saber.

But what was more shocking was that the saber ended up being stopped by the palm of Julius, even if it had penetrated a little into his skin, it was still stopped, the strength and speed behind the Patriarch's strike is something frightening that would make many trembles, but Julius stopped it with his bare palms, suffering a small superficial cut.

The Patriarch looked shocked at such a scene, he is sure that Julius is just a Stage 4 Golden Fighter, how can he have such strength? Damn it! He's a fucking Spiritual Master, 2 Realms above Julius, how is that possible?!

Julius looked coldly at the Patriarch and the next instant his sword swung at high speed towards the Patriarch's throat, who felt immense danger and immediately retreated, but that was his mistake.

The blade suddenly changed trajectory like lightning, its speed multiplied several times and when it was about to hit the Patriarch's throat, suddenly Julius felt that if it ended he would die.

Without hesitating Julius stopped his attack and took dozens of steps back, in the place he was, a sharp sword penetrated the ground, moments after he moved.

If Julius had killed the Patriarch, that sword would have struck him, killing him instantly.

Soon Julius looked in a direction, where a gentle-looking and quite ordinary old man walked calmly in his directions.

"Father!" - Shocked Patriarch shouted at the sight of the old man.

Julius frowned, he did not expect that in this small town, there would be a Spiritual Lord.

'By the energy, I feel from him, he must be at most a Stage 2 Spiritual Lord... can I? That's practically three Realms, not to mention we're already separated by a huge threshold…' - Julius began to make calculations in his mind and soon he decided.

"Young man, are you cruel, would you kill a son in front of his father like that? Deplorable." - Said the old man quietly.

Julius had a cold and indifferent look, this old man was dangerous, he just wanted to provoke some of the powers of the city to be used as training, now an old monster has appeared, Julius found this situation complicated, but he is confident.

"Well, I'm sure you belong to some powerful Clan or Family, since it's impossible for you with such talent, not to belong to any power, how about we finish this matter here, I admit those two were fools to provoke you, but it was just a small matter, there's no reason to end up in deaths." - Said the old man quietly.

Julius was surprised by the old man's words, but feeling the aura in his body, Julius knew that this old man was anything but kind.

'He's afraid of the strength behind me…' - Julius thought in his mind, already understanding the old man's mind.

He then looked at the pair of idiots and said. - "That ends if they die!"

Hearing this, the old man's expression darkened and he said. - "Young man, don't eat more than you can handle, your parents never taught you that?"

"Of course, they taught me, they also taught me that it's always good to have a full stomach." - Julius said as he narrowed his eyes.

The old man began to get angry at Julius's words, he understood the meaning, Julius had confidence in fighting him, it showed that Julius did not take him too seriously.

"Young man, there's no reason to make this little matter escalate so much, let's end it here and"

Before the old man could finish speaking, Julius appeared in front of him and a short sword was already coming down his throat.

His eyes shone coldly as they saw Julius' sudden attack, but he saw it all.

In an instant, a Qi barrier appeared around his body and when the blade struck, it just made a metal sound, but in the end, it didn't hit the old man.

But Julius didn't mind, because he was already waiting for it, there was a second blade in his other hand, which penetrated towards the old man's Dantian.

The old man's eyes shone coldly and his hand appeared in front of his Dantian, a Qi barrier appeared again, preventing Julius' attack. - 'Really a young fool…' - The old man thought.

Suddenly when he finally counter-attacked, the old man felt a sharp pain coming from his chest, which shocked him immensely, he saw at a glance something brilliant come out of Julius' mouth and disappear in the next instant, as he did not see much, he did not know what happened, he only knew when the pain began and intensified the next instant.

AAAHHH!

Soon a painful scream sounded from the old man's lips, who hastily retreated and fell to his knees, while he felt a sharp, penetrating Qi, full of sword intention, tearing his chest, luckily it did not reach his heart.

Julius also fell to his knees, his expression was pale, he has just used [Qi of the Invulnerable Sword], a God-grade Technique, which would be impossible for Julius to use, except for using [the Art of Sacrifice].

Julius in exchange for 1 Stage of his Cultivation, used the [Qi of the Invulnerable Sword], which he will only be able to cultivate in the Transcendent Realm in the future.

The [Art of Sacrifice], is an art lost in his past life, which can sacrifice Realms of Cultivation, in exchange for temporary power.

Julius only used it once in his past life and he sacrificed an entire Cultivation Realm just to kill a frightening enemy and in the end, he was in a coma for 2 years.

Now he lost 1 Stage of Cultivation, both Spiritual and Vital, in exchange he was able to form a small Qi Sword, which carried his Sword Intent from his past life, as well as some of what he trained in that life.

Now, this Qi Sword, was out of control in the old man's chest, tearing him apart from the inside, but unfortunately, he did not sacrifice enough, or the damage would have been several times greater and the damage would have already died, but he would have been in great danger.

The old man roared in pain and struggled while desperately sending his own Qi to suppress this vicious Qi inside his body.

Suddenly 4 figures appeared, old men and women who when they arrived on the scene, frowned.

From their subordinates they understood what happened, all because of two idiots, the Old Patriarch of the Radimund Clan, who has just advanced, can be killed.

"Quick, help treat him!" - Said an old lady as she approached the Old Patriarch.

Julius frowned and suppressing all the pain, he stood up and looked coldly at everyone.

"What do you think you're doing?" - Julius asked coldly, all four old men who had just arrived looked at him immediately.

"Boy, we know you come from some family that can exterminate all of us, but this is a small matter, there is no reason to go on, without saying that you are also hurt. How about this, the Patriarch of the Radimund Clan apologizes, about those two... I don't think they deserve to live for creating such problems." - Said the old woman as calmly as possible.

Julius kept a cold look and then his gaze stopped at the Patriarch, who wanted to go ahead and kill him, but he hesitated because he had received the voice message from someone, vaguely explaining to him who Julius was.

Even if Julius doesn't want to, his face is still famous, even if the Patriarch of the Radimund Clan and others didn't recognize him, at least one of these 4 people recognized him, since they were at the party that took place months ago, to present him for having acquired a Grimoire.

'Due to [Art of Sacrifice], my body is exhausted and I won't be able to do much, even if these old people stop interfering, so killing these 2 old people will be difficult, but killing the 2 idiots, is more than enough.' - Julius thought in his mind, he decided that it was better to end this matter here, he just wanted people to beat and train a little, his confrontation with the Old Patriarch, even if short, taught him some things about his current strength.

"You know, if it were the self of the past, you would all be dead now." - Julius said frighteningly while an immeasurable intention to kill radiated from his body, making everyone in the city tremble with fear, small children shocked their mothers in the face of such frightening pressure.

The Old Patriarch and Patriarch, who were the most affected, trembled with fear to the point of vomiting large pieces of blood.

The four old men who came to the rescue of the Radimund Clan began to regret having appeared, an instinctive fear formed deep in their brains now.

But soon this frightening intention to kill disappeared and everything went back to normal, everyone sighed long and soon Julius turned and left.

He casually summoned Mari, who began the process of healing him, which surprised everyone.

The Patriarch, who was on his knees, looked in terror at Julius's back and then looked furiously at the couple who had caused all this, but when he looked at the two men, he saw that they were lying on the ground with terrifying expressions, they had died of fright since they were the real focus of Julius's colossal Killer Intent.

As for the apology, Julius was not the least bit interested.

Everyone who saw this sighed in relief, feeling that a calamity had been successfully passed on, but after today, the status of the Radimund Clan has greatly diminished in the city, as they have provoked a real monster.
