840 Chapter 840

"Hahahaha!"

When he heard that, Aiden looked up into the skies and roared in laughter. Looking at everyone in a condescending manner, he hollered.

"You 'demonic' sects are allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to kill in return? Do you really think that makes sense?"

The demonic heirs went silent.

"To begin with, you guys wanted to join forces with the righteous sects. But now, you're just forcefully looking for an excuse!"

Aiden sneered with contempt. "How hypocritical!"

Shadow Raven's eyes flickered; clearly, Aiden was spot on.

If not for the fact that it was the Ancient One's Palace that was before them, given the pride of the fiend sects, they would definitely not join forces with the righteous sects.

However, that was the inheritance of the legendary Ancient One, the mythical guardian of the world! A divine entity!

How could anyone in the world not be tempted?!

The combat strength that Aiden displayed was way too terrifying and they had no other choice but to join forces to take him down!

At that moment, Aiden's cold voice sounded as he said everything word by word.

"Since that's the case, I will give you guys a reason to attack."

*SNAP!*

Exerting force in his palm, Aiden crushed Bair Yohren's throat instantly.

The young, chosen heir of Zenith Sect was dead!

Bair Yohren's death caused the vicinity of the Ancient One's Palace to descend into a grim silence.

The martial artists who were watching afar were shocked as they looked at everything in disbelief.

This burly man, this mysterious contender… He was way too savage!

That man did not even care about the threat of a Guardian Elder.

Even though he had already offended the righteous sects, the successor of Holy Fire Island was still brazen and decisive in his kills, taking down two chosen heirs with utter dominance!

When he said that he was going to give them a reason to attack, it meant that he did not fear the combined attacks of all the paragons from all the top sects! Be it one of the so-called righteous ones, or from the 'evil' side, this Void Blade did not care!

Emperors were the strongest existences in the world and had extraordinary bearings. Every single martial artist that was present right now, including the Guardians, did not have the chance to come across a real, living emperor before.

However, at this moment, the same thought flashed through everyone's minds.

Back when the emperors were at Martial Knight realm, this… should be how they were like.

'It's over! He did it!' The Holy Maiden's heart sank.

With Bair Yohren's death, there was now no way back and Aiden was about to face an enraged Guardian Elder!

Although he was close to the end of his life, he was still a true Martial Grandmaster after all!

'ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v) e lBin ᴏɴʟʏ.',

The many paragons of the top sects looked at Aiden as though they were looking at a dead man. Their gazes were filled with mockery and pity.

There was no longer a need for them to make a move. Zenith Sect's Guardian Elder who had just entered the battlefield was more than enough to kill Aiden!

Aiden's expression was unchanged as he looked at the incoming blood-robed old man. The golden luster energy that was surrounding him did not diminish and his eyes shone fiercely.

"I don't care what you are…" The blood-robed old man glared at Aiden with a heavy killing intent as his aura climbed. "…but for what you have just done, I am going to kill you right now!"

Before he was finished with his statement, a saber appeared in the blood-robed old man's hand.

*SLASH!*

Although it was only a supreme-grade artifact weapon, coupled with the strength of a Martial Grandmaster, a torrential saber beam filled with violent energy arrived before Aiden instantly.

"Howl…"

The sounds of ghosts wailing could be heard.

It was as though a chilling mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had appeared right in front of Aiden!

The next moment, to everyone's shock, Aiden actually took a step forward! Gripping his right fist, he punched fiercely towards the incoming saber!

"He truly doesn't know his limits."

"There's no choice. There's no time for him to retreat anyways. He might as well meet the attack and die a slightly more dignified death."

The paragons sneered.

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva turned her head away, as though she could not bear to continue watching.

*BOOM!*

The fist and saber collided, letting out a resounding bang.

Everyone was rooted on the spot as they looked at what happened in absolute disbelief.

The bloody scene that everyone imagined did not play out.

Aiden's right fist was not cut into two after meeting with the slash!

After a short pause, Aiden let out a dull grunt and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying and landed on the ground far away, standing motionlessly some of his previous bright golden luster around his dissipated gradually.

At the same time, the previous ferocity of the blood-robed old man vanished. As if time itself have just caught up with its escape, the old man's body began to rapidly shiver and was turning into a shriveled corpse in just a matter of seconds.

That was the fate of every Guardian Elder. They merely had one last strike before their fate would be sealed.

Still, he had no regrets since he was able to kill the burly man, the champion from the Holy Fire Island.

Although Aiden managed to defend against the sharpness of the spirit saber, the blood-robed old man believed that there was no way a mere Martial Knight martial artist could withstand the strength of a Martial Grandmaster!

The blood-robed old man barely had any life essence in his body anymore. In a second his life would be sucked away by the cruel fate he was destined to.

All of a sudden!

The gray-robed burly man, Aiden, who was initially sprawled on the ground suddenly moved, coughed, and rose up!

"Mmm?"

'

He was not dead?

The blood-robed old man was agitated and his eyes were filled with indignance. His mouth was open, as though he wanted to say something.

The next moment, with a bang, he vanished entirely, turning into a mist of blood with no corpse left!

"Holy Fire Island's Void Blade is truly frightening! Even the full attack of a Guardian Elder couldn't kill him!"

"I think he's not far from death anyways. I reckon that his organs should be ruptured and he shouldn't have long to live."

"How did he manage to defend against that attack barehanded?"

"I'm not sure."

If Aiden was using any defensive artifact weapon, his palm would have shone with the light of its spirit patterns.

However, when both parties clashed, everyone saw that Aiden was barehanded.

What they didn't know is that his true power far surpassed that of a shriveled old walking corpse.

Still, although he could defend against the sharpness of the artifact weapon, it could not block out the power of a Martial Grandmaster completely.

That sort of power was annihilating for a Martial Knight martial artist.

However, Aiden's physique was way too strong and his regeneration capabilities were shocking!

He had a body that was even more terrifying than pure-blooded ferocious beasts!

Although his organs were shaken and he spat out a mouthful of blood, Aiden's injuries were already mostly recovered within a couple of breaths.

If he could survive against a strike of divine entities and that shadowy thin man back in the orc's tower, a mere Martial Grandmaster… a mere mortal could not possibly deal any lethal strike against him!

The sound of footsteps rustled as multiple figures grouped up around Aiden once more.

This time round, other than the eight paragons of the righteous sects, even the remaining three demonic heirs of the evil sects had closed in. All of them glared at Aiden coldly, whipping out their weapons with killing intents on their faces.

Apart from Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva, all the paragons were prepared to join forces to kill Aiden!

They wanted to take his life while he was at his weakest!

However, all the paragons were wrong about one thing.

Aiden was not as severely injured as they had imagined. That minor injury was almost negligible for him.

Also, the attack of the Guardian Elder coupled with the alliance of the paragons just before had only managed to thoroughly invoke Aiden's anger!

There was no such thing as fairness in the martial world.

The paragons of the major sects had formed an alliance and many of them had their own Guardians of their sects backing them. However, Aiden was alone without any help or Guardian Elder to protect him.

Yet, the more that was the case, the more he wanted to fight!

He believed that what the Sword Emperor had imparted him was not inferior to the secret skills of these top factions!

He believed that even if the paragons joined forces, they wouldn't be able to take him down!

He believed that even without the backing of a major sect, he could break through everything and reach the peak!
