30. So easy

Seeing this unruly young master dash at him with bad intentions, Ace decided that he wouldn't spare him either.

Ace already knew that for the sect master of the Howling Beast sect, this fight was just a way for him to vent his anger on him. He, too, had unquestionable confidence that his son would win.

This arrogance comes from the fact that if Ace actually had some abilities, he would've been at least somewhat known in the region. And since they have never heard of him, they underestimated him.

'Like father like son. Such arrogance.'

Seeing this unruly bastard approaching him so slowly with killing intent, Ace was already bored.

'I am a monster who can fight across realms, and yet this guy who is not even a genius and has a lower cultivation than me dares to fight me.'

Ace didn't want to waste time and go back to Sun, so he revised a plan that would benefit his pretty sect leader.

Back to the fight, Xin Wei was already close to Ace. 

Seeing as how Ace wasn't reacting, he thought that Ace was just all talk and was either too scared or too weak to react.

But suddenly,

*BAM* 

He received a fist straight to the face.

Xin Wei's nose was caved in, clearly broken.

Indeed, Ace decided to punch him in the face with his free hand which wasn't holding the sword.

With the Holing Beast Sect's young master all disoriented, Ace dashed at him and continued punching him.

Xin Wei was now all bloodied and about to pass out.

The Beast sect leader was fuming with rage because of this one way fight, but still remained seated, although with struggle.

"Tsk..."

Seeing this at the corner of his eye, Ace frowned.

He wanted this sect master to attack him and thought with how he pampered his son, pummeling him to the ground was enough. 

But it seemed he needed to go further.

He finally swung his sword, for the first time in the fight, and straight at Xin Wei's neck.

He didn't want to kill him yet, but this was enough to make the Howling Beast sect's leader explode in rage and launch at Ace.

"YOU DARE?!!"

Seeing this martial saint approaching him at extremely fast speed with relentless killing intent, Ace confirmed that indeed, a martial saint was something that he really could not contend against yet.

But before anything could happen to Ace, the Beast sect leader froze mid-air.

"Do you dare?"

An ice-cold that seemed that it could freeze everyone present's soul suddenly reverberated through the arena.

'Shit, I messed up!' thought the Beast leader.

Indeed, in a country like the Mystic kingdom on the central continent where status was proven through fights and competitions like these, it was basically an unwritten law that attacking a participant of a competition was a huge sin that would completely ruin his or her's life on this continent. Not only the reputation, but all of his connections would disdain him and not want to associate with him.

As such, him attacking Ace was a huge mistake, even if it was an unofficial competition.

This seemingly bad, yet not that bad act of wanting to save his son is, in this kingdom, way enough justification for the Red Rose sect leader to declare war on the Howling Beast sect.

Plus it wasn't just a normal disciple that he attacked, it was the honored guest of the sect, someone who wasn't meant to participate, yet was taunted by themselves to fight.

All of these facts would reinforce the public opinion toward the Red Rose sect after the assured destruction of the Howling Beast sect.

Why assured? 

Because Sun was now royally pissed. Not only at the Beast sect leader but also at Ace.

She knew that this was all an act, because the speed at which Ace was swinging his sword was probably not even 10% of his speed, and that it was all to benefit her, but the fact that he put himself in a situation where he would get attacked by a martial saint didn't suite with her well.

But the complaining would come after.

Sun, being the woman she is, didn't hide her intentions and directly finished this fight which wasn't fair after all.

"The Howling Beast sect is no more, huh..." Sun said.

"W-WAIT NO-" 

Before the Beast leader could plead, his head had disappeared in a mist of blood.

'S-scary' Ace though while gulping.

All the disciples present, from the Beast sect to the Red Rose sect, all woke up from their daze at the same time after not even being able to react before the Beast sect leader was dead.

The Howling Beast sect disciples started despairing at the scene, and all the female disciples of the Red Rose sect all became pissed.

They dared sneak attack their prince charming?!!

The slaughter then began.

The Beast sect disciples were already despairing with their fighting spirit at rock-bottom, so it didn't take long for the overwhelming amount of females to slaughter them all.

.

.

The sect elders prepared a retaliation with 12 elders at the ancestor realm to decimate the rest of the Howling Beast sect.

It didn't come at a surprise that the fight didn't take long.

The Red Rose sect was already stronger, and with the death of their sect leader, the Beast sect elders and disciples fell like flies.

Back to the sect.

'Ace, come to my chamber.'

In a voice that was like giving an order, Ace heard Sun's voice in his head.

He quickly complied and reached her chambers, and opened the door without hesitation.
