Traitor - 257

Since both Dave and Pangu were at the 5th level of the core formation realm, the ice lands, which was made of ice at the core formation realm, was the perfect place to fight.

Before long, both of them landed next to a giant spire of ice. The ice lands were mostly uninhabited, so it was silent.

Dave paid attention to Pangu's axe. 

"Where did you get that?" Dave asked.

"No need for talk. This will be the last time we fight. I will completely win." Pangu said without moving his gaze.

Dave stopped talking as he and Pangu's gazes clashed one more time. Then, Pangu launched forward.

His first step created a dent in the layer of ice, but the ice was extremely thick and strong. 

As he reached Dave, he was met with his fist covered in Fire Qi and fiendcelestial Qi. Pangu flew into the air and moved around Dave. 

Sky Qi covered his body, causing him to be much faster than expected.

Dave only managed to turn around and see an axe covered in Fiend Qi in front of his body.

He managed to put his arm covered by fire Qi in the way of the axe, and the two collided.

With little resistance, the axe cut Dave's hand off. Then, the axe buried itself in Dave's chest. Both Pangu and Dave stood shocked for a second.

Dave fell onto the ice below him and stared at his injuries. The cut off arm, along with the axe in his chest, would likely prove to be fatal.

"I didn't expect you to be so weak." Pangu said as he looked upon the bleeding out Dave.

After the initial shock, Pangu did not feel much for Dave. He hated Dave. Dave was the cause of all his suffering before the cultivation reset.

In a way, Dave hated Pangu. It was mainly the closeness of all fiendcelestials that stopped him from killing Pangu. He also had to watch out for his reputation.

After twenty seconds, Dave's giant body was laid out on the ice. He was dead. It was sudden and pathetic.

Despite his hatred of Dave, Pangu was feeling a little worried. The fiendcelestials loved Dave. Pangu was essentially the only one who had any hatred for him.

He was a strong and charismatic leader, but Pangu had killed him. Pangu was not scared of the villagers attacking him, but he was worried about how they would react.

Besides Dave, there was no other suitable leader. The other fiendcelestial with god rank talent was reclusive, and Pangu had no interest in leading.

He considered not going back to the village, but he decided to let them know about the events that took place in the ice lands.

With his Sky Qi, the journey back to the village was quick. As he arrived, he stood in the middle of the village square. Luckily, it had been made huge, so his body did not take up that much space.

"All fiendcelestial report to the village square." He said, his voice traveling through the entire village.

Within a few moments, people were making their way to the village square. Making such an announcement was not a small matter.

It was only permitted if a serious or threatening event had taken place, something that the entire village needed to be quickly notified about.

After 3 minutes, not a single fiendcelestial within the village was outside of the village square.

Pangu and the other fiendcelstial with god rank meridians towered over everyone else. There were very few foundation establishment realm fiendcelestials, and the rest were Qi gathering fiendcelestials.

"Why have you called us here, Pangu?" The other fiendcelestial with god rank meridians asked.

Pangu looked at his fellow fiendcelestials one last time before speaking.

"Dave is dead." He spoke.

In an instant, all movement ceased. Everyone stood still, dumbfounded by Pangu's words.

Even the other fiendcelestial with god rank meridians was silent with widened eyes.

"How did he die!?" One of the fiendcelestials shouted in a panicked voice.

"Are we in danger?!" Another voice asked.

"Calm down, there is no danger." Pangu said, silencing the village square.

"I killed Dave." He said.

Another silence descended upon the fiendcelestial village.

Not long after Pangu spoke, faces of rage appeared on the fiendcelestials faces.

"How dare you?! How could you?! Why would you kill the leader of us all, a fellow fiendcelestial! He had been nothing but a brother and leader to us all!" One of the fiendcelestials at the foundation establishment shouted.

Even his voice was soon drowned out by the other fiendcelestials angry words.

"Quiet." The other fiendcelestial with god rank meridians, Leonardo, spoke. His voice instantly quieted everyone.

He looked at Pangu with a calm face, though anger was behind his eyes.

"Is there a good reason as to why you killed Dave?" He asked.

He knew that Pangu had been suppressed by Dave, but he felt that it was an event in the past and should be looked over for the good of the fiendcelestials.

"It was an accident. You may have noticed we had sparred, and we did that again, this time in the icelands." Pangu began to explain with a calm face. "We fought, and in one move, I accidentally killed him."

Suspicion was present on the faces of every Fiendcelestial. Dave had been the strongest and talented. It was unlikely that Pangu could kill Dave in one move and on accident.

"Yeah right!" One of the fiendcelestials shouted. "You probably sneak attacked him, or cheated."

Hearing his words, the fiendcelestials felt enlightened.

"That must be it! You filthy traitor!" Another fiendcelestial said.

Soon, voices once again filled the village square.

"Quiet." Leonardo spoke again.

SIlence descended.

"You know that you cannot stay here." He said.

Pangu nodded. It was expected.

"But you will not take away my name and status as Pangu and a fiendcelestial." Pangu added.

In the case of a traitor, there were rules set in place. Although only 2 traitors had existed before, the rules on it were strict and serious.

Removing someone's name and status as a fiendcelestial was one of the worst punishments besides death.

"If you truly swear that Daves death was an accident, you can leave unblemished." Leonardo spoke.

"Then follow me to the ice lands." Pangu said, turning away and flying to the sky, Leonardo close behind.
