Battle to the Death?

As the sword was shown to the world, the thirst of blood permeating from it. The weaker cultivators felt their entire body numb. They could see what happen but their bodies were instinctively afraid of the red-blood sword.

"Just to make this clear, if I won this battle, I will replace Reka in the Ascension and if I passed all the test, my spot in the Central Region shall be given to her," said Lyon to the head of the clan while gritting his teeth.

"Sure, I will allow it," smiled the woman.

"Don't get cocky kid, You will not live past this hour," said the elder.

"Well since you both are eager to battle then," the woman clapped her hand and followed by a gong sound.

The elder moved in a swift manner and approached Lyon in a defining speed. He intended to end the fight with just one critical blow.

The elder's thrust met the red-blood sword but the force was instantly nulled. Scarlet didn't even budge receiving the incoming attack.
