CHAPTER 35: THE FIRST FIGHT IN SPACE

The ship continued for a day before leaving the galaxy of the galactic business empire. They entered the boundless space, a space that was full of arcane beasts and also wandering terrorists and pirates.

After some hours of traveling in the boundless space, Mark opened his eyes and stood up,

"They finally can't wait," he said. Not long after he said that a ship appeared beside their ship and slammed into their ship.

"Hmm," he squinted his eyes.

"Where are they" he thought. The ship stopped. Amelia looked down and sighed with a disgusted expression.

"The old fart has not left us since," She said.

"No will you three take care of him" He asked.

"Ok, we will take care of him since you seem to be the weakest," She said. He smiled wryly at her response.

"Be careful he is a tier three so he is far stronger than you three" He told them.

"Don't worry, we will take care of him, it's even time to test out our new skill" She said. They jumped out from the ship and arrived in front of the old man who had his hand behind him.

"Surrender now so that it won't be like I'm bullying you," The man said.

"Old fart I told you that you should leave us alone but you still insisted on chasing after us, you are courting death," They said.

"Who is courting death between us, you are just a a beginning tier 2 expert while I'm a beginning tier 3 expert, can you even touch me if I want" He said.

"It might not be possible because everyone in your family is trash but today I will show you something, just open your eyes and see," Amelia said. Suddenly a meridian shone on their body while

"Whoosh" The sound of a gushing river was heard, and their blood essence was moving through their body. Their respective bloodline image projected out from them and their aura accelerated to mid-stage tier 2.

"The first skill, tyrant fox strength amplification" Their strength increased straight to the beginning stages of tier 3.

"What's that skill" the old man's eyes widened when he saw that.

"Whoosh," Amelia and Charlotte rushed towards the old man.

"Humph," The old man humped and disappeared from where he was. Their attack landed in thin air.

"There," Martins said as he accelerated through the distance and arrived in front of the old man that just appeared and he threw a punch at the unsuspecting man.

"How" The man was surprised. Martins is the king of all elemental foxes so he can see through all spaces.

"Bang" The punch hit the old man, and he was thrown back with blood spilling out from his mouth.

"Elder Chan" Yun Dong called out and wanted to rush out but he was stopped by Mark. Without giving him the ability to stabilize himself, Amelia arrived before him and touched his body. His body froze while lightning roared in the space and struck the ice shard. The ice shard shattered into pieces. A tier-three expert just died like that. Amelia took out the ring.

"Arise" Mark applied his shadow ability. The shadow of the old man rose from the ground and he called out ten of his shadows. They devoured the old man's shadow and evolved. Armor and wings grew out from their body while their body turned more visible. They retracted their blood essence and their bloodline image, they looked tired. They already consumed quite a bit of blood essence.

"Hmm," Mark squinted his eyes.

"Watch out" he shouted. His soul sense picked up an approaching image but the image was very fast. The three circulated their bloodline unconsciously while they jumped back, they didn't know who Mark was talking to so they all followed Mark. Martins saw a spear appear in front of him but he narrowly dodged it. Sweat formed on his body, he was so close to being stabbed by the spear and knew that it would not bode well for him if he got stabbed.

"A mid-stage tier three expert" Mark squinted his eyes as he looked at the handsome youth. His speed was that of a late-stage tier 3 warrior

"Tsk" the guy clicked his tongue as he looked at Mark.

"What a good chance of killing a talent lost," he said.

"If I could kill a talent that is capable of killing an early stage tier 3 expert when still in the early tier 2 stage, then I will be rewarded well," The youth said. Mark felt the mark in his soul act up.

"You must be from the infernal court," He asked.

"Yes it's better if you surrender now," The guy said.

"I can still kill them if I deal with you," the guy said. A spaceship appeared and two ladies came out from it.

"Hmm you don't know my real strength and you are saying that" He answered.

"You are just a measly tier 2 expert, I don't even know why the death order was activated for you," the guy said.

"I can still kill you without much trouble," He said.

"hmm" Mark looked into the space.

"Come out" He said. The guy squinted his eyes and his left eye suddenly changed color.

"The cascade eye art, the most basic art of infernal court," Liz said.

"Kekeke" A laugh was heard.

"Why don't I join in the fun" A voice was heard from afar and a lady appeared. She was also in the mid-stage of tier 3 but her stats were also in the late stage of tier 3.

"What art are they using," He thought.

"they are using the body-conforming art, an art of infernal court that when used for a long time with a lot of resources allows the body of the cultivator to accommodate a special eye when they reach the fifth tierLiz told him.

"The side effect is the increase in their stats," She said.

"Humm" He looked into the distance again.

"Since my seniors are here let me also join in the fun" Another male voice was heard and a man with scars on his body appeared while wielding a huge sword. The three surrounded him while the other tier one and tier two experts surrounded the other two.

"Whoosh" The sound of a gushing river was heard, and he transferred the balanced energy through his body. 234 small lights appeared in his body and his aura rose to the early stage of tier 3 expert. Scales appeared on his body while nails grew out from his fingers. They were white and glittering in the dark space and a white feathery wings grew out from his back. His aura increased to the mid-stage of tier 3.

"Heavenly battle armor" Whited armor grew out from his body. It covered his whole body immediately while two horns grew out from his forehead.

"Tietie" He summoned his battle steed. The armored horse neighed and rushed towards the early stage tier 3 expert among them. He summoned his sword,

"Why don't we end this," he said. A messy battle soon began in the space with Tietie fighting the early stage tier three expert and six cultivators fighting against the other three. The three were holding themselves well against the six and they were even retaliating. They were stronger. The guy disappeared from where he was. Mark swung his sword forward and

"Bang" The sword and spear collided, and and Mark was thrown back. The lady appeared behind him and swung her fan towards him. He could not dodge but the fan hit the armor and could not cut through. Only a little bit of residual force was transferred to his body. He stabilized himself while the long sword in his hand blazed to life with rippling silvery white energy.

The guy rushed towards him again, thread-like sword intent spilled out from his body. The guy sensed something and fell back while the lady behind him also fell back. By the time they stabilized themselves, blood was dripping from their body. They were thread-like cuts made from the sword intent on their body.

"Interesting, you are a real genius, I can see the reason the death order was activated for you but it ends here, The guy said as his aura suddenly changed. An armored lion suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him while an armored white fox appeared behind the lady.

"That's the armored beast cultivation art of the infernal court, they cultivate beast art" Liz explained. The guy's strength suddenly increased to the early stage of rank 4 and the lady's aura also increased to the early stage of tier 4. They both breathed out.

"The beast breathing skill, total devastation" Steam came out from the mouth of the guy and the spear suddenly blazed to life,

"Roar" A Small armored lion emerged from the body of the big lion. Over one hundred rushed towards Mark. The strongest of the seven skills he had was used immediately.

"The beast breathing skill, total devastation" Hundreds of small pythons also emerged from the body of the large python and rushed towards Mark. They soon reached Mark and surrounded him.
