253 Saint Markuz

"SHWIIIII!" Because of the magnitude of the clash, everything withing 10 kilometers have suffered total annihilation. The land was scraped, revealing wide cracks all around. The wind blew violently that made the spectators run for their lives.

"What a power!" The dark eye in the void said in exclamation, "To think that these sovereigns can release this much power. Even I won't dare to confront that attack head on."

"Indeed, the power of that attack can make us serious. It's not something to be underestimated. Truly, the power of dao systems isn't a joke." The white eye said.

They were very surprised that the two sovereigns could accumulate such a power that could rival them, Heavenly Saints!

"Too bad. Looks like it's their loss even after using such dao systems." The dark eye said with a serious tone.

As the thin smoke gradually disappeared from the spectators' view, they could see two figures lying on the ground with an amputated limb. Their robes were tattered and only the lower part had a cover.

They were defeated. Utterly defeated with that exchange.

"Impossible!" A spectator from afar widened his eyes in shock. He refused to believe that their two sovereigns weren't a match against that young man! As he didn't watch the previous battle, of course, he could say this.

But to those who have watched this, it didn't give them a frightful shock like what the other spectator experienced. After all, they saw how powerful Jin Rou was and in their estimation, he was a Heavenly Saint. Thus, taking the sovereigns down didn't give them much surprise.

Of course, as members of this constellation, they still wish that someone could defeat this guy before he destroy everything else here.

"Cough! Cough! Dammit." Mateflower cursed as he spat two mouthfuls of blood. He was gravely injured. Even breathing, he was having a difficulty.

"This is nuts." On the other hand, Duxiao didn't curse or anything. His eyes were just filled with remorse and hatred. Though they were defeated this bad, the hatred he felt for the other party didn't lessen.

After seeing that Mateflower could finally catch his breath, Duxiao clenched his fists and said, "Will our lives end here?"

"No! I refused to believe that I can't kill that bastard! At least, I have to kill that man before I die or else Zu'er will not rest in peace!" Mateflower roared hysterically.

"You want to fight more?" Jin Rou coldly glared daggers at Mateflower and said, "You have no chance of winning. Even from the start, your chance of winning is zero."

"No! I will fucking kill you!" Mateflower shouted at the top of his lungs. The last string of his sanity snapped and circulated all his aura towards his heart.

He was planning to die with Jin Rou by making himself a bomb!

"Mateflower, are you out of your mind?!" Duxiao was scared shitless by Mateflower's insanity. To think that he was willing to detonate himself just for killing a certain man!

He might kill the guy but everyone in the vicinity would also be killed!

"Futile resistance." Jin Rou snorted and swung his sword behind to gather momentum. What would this mere power do anything to him? He wasn't afraid of the attack but he won't be able to protect those spectators who are watching the battle. Thus, he was planning to end this guy's life now and then.

"Please hold on, Youngmaster Jin." However, just when Jin Rou was about to make a move, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Soon, three figures appeared out of nowhere. The two with knight-like vibes were wearing golden armors with a giant heavy swords in their back. Everyone could tell that they had experienced countless life and death battles just from their aura they were emitting.

They were the two strongest Imperial Sovereigns of Havenleaf Constellation, Trueknight and Blujin!

In their middle was an old man with a long white beard that almost reached his feet. He was walking like a royal being with graceful bearing.

Seeing this figure, everyone had ready prostated to pay respect. Everyone knew who this old man was.

"Saint Markuz, huh." The dark eye said in a grave tone, "To think that the one and only Heavenly Saint of this constellation will come with his real body. The Havenleaf is taking this seriously."

Saint Markuz. This name was all of the people of Havenleaf could recognize. In fact, even the children could recognize this being as he was one of the most popular and revered people of the constellation.

And he had the highest authority in the constellation. He was also the last line of defense against their enemies.

"I am called Markuz, Youngmaster Jin." Saint Markuz calmly said.

"And what are you doing here, Sir Markuz?" Jin Rou asked with proper courtesy and honorifics. He could easily tell that this old man didn't come here for trouble thus he didn't mind addressing the other party properly.

"I won't beat around the bush. Please spare Mateflower and Duxiao here for their mistake. My subordinates have just been carried away since their loved ones have been killed. Tell me whatever you want and I will do everything in my power to get it." Saint Markuz answered truthfully.

Jin Rou looked around the two injured sovereigns and shook his head, "No, they must die. I have already spared your constellation for a few times now even back then in the Leaf Sword Sect. Now, they came provoking me with the intent to kill. I can't let that slide. Even if Ethereal Forestking were to be here, I won't change my mind."

"…" Saint Markuz's face stiffened.

"Besides, I have nothing to ask for as I already have it all. So now, I just want you, Sir Markuz and the two other sovereigns behind you, to step back and let me finish my business." Jin Rou didn't give the other party a leeway as he coldly said, "Of course, I welcome challenges. If you want them to be saved, save them from my attacks, then."
