Obliteration

Zhen Long gazed the Red Bandit Gang's leader, as the latter emitted an entirely different aura compared to the enemies he had encountered within his two months of living within this world.

"Sky Profound Realm…" Zhen Long mumbled to himself, as he stared straight at the man before him who's filled with killing intent directed at him.

"You… will die here!" The leader said to Zhen Long, as he floated and flew while gazing down at Zhen Long.

"Annoying…" Zhen Long said softly, as he gazed at the floating enemy above him.

"Someone of your level isn't qualified to look down on me." He said to himself, as an extremely dangerous aura surfaced from his body.

"!!" The leader felt his mind tremble, as he gazed at the increasing aura of Zhen Long. He now fully understood the gravity of the situation.

However, he didn't even hesitate for a second, as he knew that he must stop Zhen Long's rising power. He must stop the young man before him, before the young man can attain a strength above him.

"Die!" The leader swiftly flew towards Zhen Long, as the sound of air being ripped apart echoed across the proximity.

A magnificent-looking sword appeared on the leader's hand, as he gripped it using both of his hands.

"Sky Breaking Slash!" The leader slashed his sword downward, as the sword released an enormous amount of profound energy, and strengthened the sword's blade further.

The mere aura of his sword completely destroyed the room, as his subordinate bounced away like some mosquito.

The sword swiftly struck Zhen Long, as the leader poured every strength he had on this attack.

Unfortunately for him…

*Thud* An extremely faint yet remarkable sound resonated across the perimeter, as the leader felt something.

The enormous amount of profound energy made the place foggy, as the leader waited for the residual energy to disperse.

He tried to retrieve his somehow stuck sword in the air, but he failed to do so. He felt an extremely tyrannical force grab the blade of his sword.

The residual energy finally dispersed, as the leader saw Zhen Long casually grabbing his sword blade.

"!!" Chills crawled out of his spine, as he tried to retrieve his sword that was currently being grabbed by Zhen Long effortlessly.

Now, he understood how Zhen Long blocked his attack. The young man somehow grabbed his blade without losing in terms of strength.

This brief moment of exchange made the leader understand that the young man before him is far more stronger than him.

However, what Zhen Long was thinking about is the complete opposite of his thought.

'This is my full raw strength? So, even if I access more strength from the origin veins… It will only give me this much brute force. However, if I used the elements… it will be a completely different story.' Zhen Long thought to himself, as he unfastened his grap unto the man's sword.

Upon noticing that the young man before him had released his sword, he hurriedly retrieved it, as he gravely stared at the former.

"Thank you…" Zhen Long suddenly conveyed his gratitude towards the man, as the man felt confused.

"For what?" The man involuntarily asked, as he glared at the young man before him.

"..." Seeing that Zhen Long wasn't willing to reply, he prepared himself once again for an attack.

However, Zhen Long said something which completely shattered his confidence.

"I don't need you now…" It was only a whisper, but someone of the man's level would surely hear such whisper.

He felt his instincts telling him to run, no matter how he must do it. He must run, as he poured his profound energy for escaping.

However, before he can prepare to escape, he felt his body getting immobile, as his face distorted into fear and terror.

"Impossible!" The man said with a shocked voice, as he gazed at the extremely hot fire covering the young man's body.

"How can that be, this fire is much much stronger compared to that old man! That's impossible!" The man said in shock, as he saw the fire suddenly condensing into a blade.

"!!" He had his heart almost leapt out of his chest, as the blade hovered above him, ready to slay him any moment.

He then heard Zhen Long's mumble, "I wonder if the person who gave you that necklace will chase me to the ends of this world…"

He felt his heart tremble further, as the image of an old man appeared within his mind. It was the Grand Elder of the Heaven Thwarting Sect!

One of the most strongest influence within the Azure Cloud Continent, as it basically has the position of sovereignty within the continent.

"Descend…" The man then heard Zhen Long's mumble, as the hovering fire blade quickly descended unto him.

The fire quickly tried to devour the leader of the Red Bandit Gang. However, the man was still able to squeeze out some voice.

"I don't know who you are, but you will die because you killed me! The son of Zuo Yi!" The man even before dying still threatened Zhen Long, as his body completely disintegrated into nothingness.

"...The more enemies, the better it is." Zhen Long said to himself, as he gazed upward at the sky.

He slowly stroked his left hand, as blue lightning streaked around on his hand. The lightning produced multiple rumbles across the perimeter.

"No one can escape this place alive…" He said softly, as the blue lightning streaked towards the one and only alive member of the Red Bandit Gang.

"Ah!" The sound of despair echoed across the distance, as the whole Red Bandit Gang was completely obliterated.

"Looks like, if I continued to stay around the True Vermillion Country. I'll be tracked quiet easily by that old man." Zhen Long said to himself, while still gazing at the sky above him.

Time quickly passed, as the news about the obliteration of Red Bandit Gang spread across the whole True Vermillion Country.

The mastermind behind the destruction of the gang are now being traced by the Heaven Thwarting Sect!
