"Yes, okay, how do you want me to satiate your anger?" Playing along, Blade asked.
His muscles were twitching, a killing feeling coursing through his mind, but he restrained himself. He wasn't a murderer now was he? He still knew peace.
Approaching the couple, the young master had a smile on his face. Gazing at Athena, he said while speaking to Blade, "Your partner here seems quite beautiful..."
Immediately, Blade understood where this was going. Now, no one could say he killed someone wrongfully.
"Which means that you should also be alluring!"
Huh
For a moment, Blade's body froze on the spot. At that moment, the young master placed his hand in a certain place, squeezing it, he said. "Surely, you'll satisfy me right?"
The young master was a handsome fellow so-!
Splatter!!!
"Some people court death but, I must give it to you, not only did you court death but also managed to find a way to transcend that concept. Commendable..."
In the eyes of those present, the young master squeezed a soft object before, without them even perceiving, the young master's head disappeared from his neck.
Blood sprayed into the air. Next to Blade, Athena sighed.
"Ah! I see, so he chose death. It's a pity, our vacation ends here...!"
Normally she'd have been annoyed that Blade had killed once again, but at this moment, after seeing Peng Clan's young master's actions, she only desired to slaughter anything with the name Peng!
Peng had become a forbidden name for Athena as right after, a chain of reactions took place, starting from... "X-Xia!"
The auctioneer stuttered as she saw the headless corpse falling to the ground.
Displaying an emotion of disbelief, she stared at the corpse of what was once a man who she had a relationship with which was more than an acquaintance.
"Young master!" The two guards were shocked.
Their expressions darkened as they reacted to the threat quickly.
Their Great Grand Master's aura escaped their bodies as they rushed toward Blade who stared at his bloodied hand.
"Come now, don't blame me for your master's stupidity."
Saying this, he lightly waved his hand as two purple bolts of purple lightning shot straight through the foreheads of the incoming guards.
Martial Lords could infuse their bodies and weapons with Law power while Martial Kings could manifest this Law power into reality.
There was a massive difference in ability yet, even as Martial Lords, it was too simple to deal with the pair of Martial Art Great Grand Masters.
Urgh!
Their bodies limply fell to the ground as the destructive Law power didn't stop even after killing the guards and instead penetrated the throat of the previous auctioneer.
She groaned pitifully while falling to her knees, grabbing he throat in shock, staring at Blade with disbelief, shock, rage, and unwillingness.
"Can't risk you wanting to get revenge for your lover." Hearing how she had called out to young master Peng, Blade quickly decided that she too would fall today.
Astral had warned him about these types who, even though were subpar in talent, still caused endless troubles later on.
"Let's go." Blade uttered.
He took the box containing the Fire Attribute treasure from the unmoving red-haired beauty.
On the other hand, this woman had finally reacted and rushed toward Blade's figure... She didn't attack, no, she blocked them from leaving, her hands apart, blocking the path to exiting the room.
With tears streaming down her face, she said...
"P-Please... I-If I remain here... I'll be... I'll be facing the full... the full anger of the Peng Clan! P-Please... Let me follow you... I'll be your slave... I'll do anything...!"
Oh!
"For you to say this in our face, do you fear the Peng Clan more than us?" Athena seemed annoyed but, Blade placed his hand on Athena's shoulder.
Giving her the box, he then approached the red-haired beauty and gently held her chin.
"You aren't half bad." Blade mumbled. Taking off the mask covering his face, he instantly dazed the red-haired for the second time.
Her mouth formed an O in shock. Using that space, Blade sealed her lips with his!
Ah! Mmmm...!
She moaned in both shock and pleasure. Her eyes were teary, adding another degree of beauty.
'At least he's good-looking.'
Now with her hands in Blade's hand, even if he wanted to do immoral things, she could refuse, especially if she wanted to live, she instead needed to satisfy him.
Eh?
But, her mind slowly turned blurry.
She couldn't understand as the only thing she had felt was Blade's tongue wrapping around her own, giving her immense pleasure.
Before she even realized it, her consciousness descended into darkness.
Standing there, Blade's body blocked the red-haired one from falling. Jerking his hand out of her chest, Blade gazed at the beating heart.
The taste of her blood was still present in his mouth. Seeing this, Athena couldn't help asking.
"Why? What was the point in kissing her?!" She couldn't lie.
She was annoyed and jealous. How did this day contain soo much rageful things?
She only wanted to rest from the bloodbath that had taken place, her desire to rest had led to not only Blade being groped by someone who wasn't herself but also him willingly kissing a beauty.
"Such a pitiful woman, she surely didn't deserve to die. Seeing as she was still a virgin, it meant she was still pure so I decided to give her a blissful death."
'You can tell...?' Athena thought. Sometimes, she couldn't understand Blade at all. 'But, it seems he has a heart, yet, why do I still feel so angry.'
'Honestly, I just wanted to experience how a human would taste.' Blade's thoughts churned as the duo exited the room and walk down the stairs.
Though his hands were stained in blood and alarmed all whom he passed, neither he nor Athena cared enough to bother with them.
So what if they were to convey the news to the City Lord, Xia Peng's father? A mere Martial Lord, even one hundred would be too simple for Blade to handle.
And like this, following the trail made by Blade's dripping hands, the bodies of the Peng clan's young master and others were found.
Some couldn't even believe it when it was brought up that the Peng clan's young master's corpse was dismembered.
Instantly after the news broke out, the city was locked down. For the first time in many years, guards were patrolling throughout the city.
Some guards were stationed at the city gates and any possible escape route inside the city as many soldiers of this city searched for two masked figures.
It was a search that didn't last long. Masked figures were glaring enough, but masked figures who didn't bother being stealthy were even more attention-seeking.
A masked figure with bloodied hands, and a masked figure with a box. These two had become famous throughout the city.
Shortly after, their locations were quickly exposed. The city was a small one so the people knew each other very well.
When the owners of a certain Inn saw two masked figures returning, he didn't bother giving them another glance but, it all changed when the news reached his ear.
Fear overtook him as he quickly spread the news. The owner along with those who had heard of the news and were situated in that Inn had left.
Only those unlucky enough to be in the middle of cultivation and unable to leave remained. As for the two who caused all of this, one sat on top of a bed in a meditative posture.
This figure was a beautiful female. At this moment, her skin seemed to be on fire, releasing a substance similar to steam.
The young man with purple hair stood at the end of the room, leaning on the window and overwatching the city with a lazy expression.
"Lucky lucky Athena..." Sighing in disappointment, he muttered.
"Well, I got a treasure that I still haven't used while the second opportunity was equally shared. I guess it's only fair that she gets an opportunity too."
Closing his eyes, he mumbled. "But, I don't care about fairness. I want it all. I need it all. How else am I to become invincible..."
As he uttered these words, the whole building began shaking violently. Shooting open his eyes, he saw the origin of what caused this.
Outside was an army of cultivators. The total number was around one thousand of them and they were led by a man in his late thirties.
He had on black martial art clothing and a sword on his waist. His aura was imposing as it landed on the building, shaking it violently.
Glancing at Athena who was busy with cultivation, Blade's figure blurred. Jumping out the window, he turned into a flashed and reappeared in front of the man.
"Are you the one who murdered my Xia?!" Seeing a figure in black clothing appear before him, the city lord asked. His voice contained endless waves of anger.
