Rage

"Okay, you wanted me to stop dodging, well here I come!" Blade's voice resounded in the area but Chu Peng had already been sent flying thousands of meters.

Boom!

A kick to Chu Peng's back brought his recoiling figure to a stop as he was thereafter sent shooting back to where he came from. Again, one would see Blade's afterimages as he appeared behind Chu Peng and sent a powerful kick.

"Humph! You're quite pitifully weak. How does it feel... being soo weak that you don't even realize that the being you stand in the presence of and yourself belongs in two different worlds?!"

...

...

Under the dark skies, Chu Peng slowly stood up to his feet. His face showcased astonishment no less than those who were currently watching the fight.

Seeing Blade's figure with hands clasped behind his back and slowly descending from the skies, Chu Peng felt a hint of apprehension in his heart.

"For it was at this moment, he realized, he fucked up!" Astral muttered under his breath. After seeing how calm Blade was, even making an oath to the cosmos, Astral realized that he was overthinking everything.

'For a moment, I forgot who the sons of destinies were. Dolion and Blade...' He thought. Along with him, three more people stood in this dark space watching what was taking place.

In their eyes, Blade's figure rushed toward Chu Peng who got up to his feet, showcasing the superior healing of an actual demonic lifeform. Suddenly, Chu Peng's aura spiked as a surprised expression appeared on Blade's face.

Coming to a halt, Blade stared down Chu Peng for a breath of time. "Oh, what is this now?" He said with an amused smile. On Chu Peng's back was a pair of translucent wings.

As a Nine Heavens Martial Sovereign, Blade had acquired all world laws, seeing the pair of wings, Blade knew this was solely made out of the wind law.

"Humph! You're strong, I'll give you that. I thought of slowly breaking you but who'd have thought that I was the one to be embarrassed? Let me tell you though, from here on out, I will be the dominator!" Chu Peng coldly said.

Xiu!

As he said this, his wings trembled. At that moment, Blade's expression froze. Athena and Andra lost sight of Chu Peng's figure and even for Blade, Chu Peng became a blur as he appeared behind Blade in a position that was already sending a punch.

Bam!

The punch landed. But Blade was fast enough to turn around and block it with his palm as he grabbed hold of Chu Peng's wrist with a very tight grip and then pulled Chu Peng closer toward him, showcasing true superior brute strength.

Bang!

With his left fist, Blade jabbed at Chu Peng's face, specifically his chin. Blade's knuckles grazed Chu Peng's chin as right after, the momentum behind that left fist sent waves of shock toward Chu Peng's brain, shaking it violently.

Loosening his grip on Chu Peng's wrist, Blade smirked as Chu Peng staggered back incoherent to his surroundings. Standing with his hands at his side, Blade watched Chu Peng's desperate effort to regain control of his body. With a slap to his face, Blade helped his opponent as Chu Peng's brain slowly stopped shaking.

"Yow, you're awake." Blade placed two palms on Chu Peng's face. As intelligence returned to Chu Peng, seeing the current situation, Chu Peng's face reddened.

Yes, right now, Chu Peng was pissed. If before he could still control himself, now he truly wanted to rip Blade's body to shreds and drink his blood all to satiate the burning rage inside his mind.

Several miles away, Andra glanced at Athena, "Did he just help that Chu Peng?"

As Athena coldly replied, "Chu Peng and Blade aren't in the same league of strength. They aren't even in the same realm, so of course Blade will humiliate Chu Peng at every chance he gets. I've never seen Blade soo angry so that Chu Peng is in for a tough time."

"Not in the same realm!" Andra widened her misty eyes in astonishment. "Chu Peng is a Pinnacle Martial Emperor... To not be in the same realm! This means that Blade has already accomplished his goal of becoming a Martial Sovereign..." Saying this, Andra seemed a little dazed.

She almost felt like laughing at herself and her wishful thinking. In a mere couple of months, Blade had left as a Martial King and came back as a Martial Sovereign. Yet, here she was trying to catch up to him...

What was this if not wishful thinking?

"You!" Staring at the languid purple pupils owned by only one, Chu Peng felt his anger rise. It was one thing to be defeated, but it was a whole other thing to be defeated and humiliated by someone who doesn't even try... For Chu Peng, both options were unreasonable.

He couldn't be defeated, especially by Blade! And most importantly, he couldn't be continuously humiliated like this, especially as his mother watched on!

"Do you think you can play with me like this?!" Chu Peng shouted in rage. His aura rose even more as the silvery light surrounding him slowly became a crimson color. Coating his skin was a red hue and blood began trickling down his cheeks from his eyes.

"Oh?" Blade jumped back, creating a distance between himself and Chu Peng. At the same time, Blade squinted his eyes as for the first time during this battle, a serious expression took over. As time passed, Chu Peng's figure underwent a gradual change from that of a normal human!

...

...

"What's this!" Inside the void between the layers of space in this world, the Sect Leader stared at Chu Peng's transforming figure. His skin turned red and his sclera became black as if possessed by a demon of sorts as his aura shot up to the skies.

"Demon Possession!" Astral replied. "With a special demonic technique, by taking the lives of others and using a special object to gather these people's souls, they could then refine these souls and keep them inside their bodies. When using this technique, these souls will be used as the gas or source to strengthen themselves...

Of course, there is a downside just like any other demonic technique, hence they wouldn't overuse it and only in dire straights. I assume Chu Peng places great importance on his pride... Anyway, this is a dire situation for him since Blade isn't someone to let him live." Astral said. He didn't seem worried though, and due to this, the others still retained some calmness.

As for why he was still calm, they thought Blade had some trump card. Thinking this, they awaited expectantly...!

...

...

Standing upright with a sadistic grin, Chu Peng's bloodlust had reached its limit along with his strength as suddenly, a silvery black long rod slowly exited his heart region.

It seemed shocking but Blade wasn't surprised. Once forming the Origin Core and the Heavens, one could store spiritual weapons inside their own Origin Core. Even Blade's sword was inside his Nine Heavens Origin core.

"Oh, are you going back on your words? You did say that you won't use your treasures but look at you now...! Such under-handed tactics, do you not care about your face?"

Blade smirked coldly with one hand on his waist and the other stretched out, his finger pointing toward Chu Peng as he gestured for the latter to approach him.

Humph!

"Once I kill you there wouldn't be anyone to say that I Chu Peng used under-handed tactics. These people will only know I Chu Peng as the one who single-handedly defeated the whole younger generation of the Limitless Sky Sect."

Snickering coldly, Chu Peng's spiritual weapon released the aura of an origin-grade weapon similar to Blade's sword, as it fully exited his chest.

Bang!

With a bang, the staff landed on the ground causing a small crater. Right after, Chu Peng's body blurred as he rushed toward Blade. Throughout, he twirled the staff mid-air, showcasing his superior control and exquisite affinity as with the help of the wind, he seemed like a staff god!

Fwoosh! Boom! Bang! Ka-Boom! Boom!

Parting through the winds, the staff rushed toward Blade's figure. Smiling, Blade's hands glided through the air and contacted the rod as he easily and gently parried the rod. Once, twice, thrice, again, and again.

"Look, let me teach you!" Blade shouted. Chu Peng didn't have time to react. In an instant, before one could blink, Blade's right fist seemed to faze past the defense created by Chu Peng's staff and landed on his stomach.

Boom! Cough!

The attack instantly extinguished the wind in Chu Peng's lungs as he spat out a mouthful of blood and recoiled away instantly. As the grip on his rod loosened, at that moment, the rod disappeared from his palm.

Fwoosh! Ka-Boom!

Chu Peng's body landed on the surface of the earth before skidding across the earth for several tens of meters. As he finally stopped, one can see the rod he previously owned somehow in Blade's hands as he twirled it around skillfully before resting it on his shoulder. Turning his attention back to Chu Peng who struggled to get to his feet, Blade uttered.

"Hmm, I wonder... How did it go again? Oh!"

Silence descended for a moment. Chu Peng had just gotten up to his feet. All hidden entities held their breaths as right after, Blade's voice landed.

{Dance of the Eight Gods: Wind God}

Thrum!
