Chapter 201 A Real Man in the World Must Pick up a Sword to Fight (1)
There were some slightly shorter peaks next to the mountain where the Spiritual Cave was. Now, half an hour later, the senior elder of the Dragon Kingdom and the president of the Spiritual Cave were fighting on one of the peaks in the east. At the moment, the senior elder was ashen, blood oozing out of his mouth. His black robes were badly damaged, shreds of cloth dancing with the wind. In his hand, the black fine steel long sword was dripping with blood.
The senior elder was seriously wounded, but he was calm, looking at the old president coldly.
Astonished, the president looked down at his belly in so much disbelief, where there was a three-centimeter-long body-penetrating cut. Now, most parts of his clothes were red with blood. Yes, the senior elder had just borne his palm attack and seriously wounded him.
Looking at Shelton in disbelief, the president said, "Impossible. You're obviously just at the third stage of the King level! Even if the fate of the Dragon Kingdom gives you strength, you can't be my equal or be stronger! That is impossible!"
Indeed, the president's realm was higher than the senior elder's. He had reached the fifth stage of the King level, two stages higher than the senior elder. He was basically a powerhouse at the middle stage of the King level, while the senior elder was just at the peak of the early stage of the King level. Yet, the senior elder could get strength from the fate of the Dragon Kingdom, but he couldn't get anything from anywhere.
The senior elder sneered. He had just borne the palm attack that the president at the fifth stage of the King level launched with all his might. Now he was also seriously wounded, so he knew he could not kill the old jerk today. After all, he was not at his peak stage. If he fought such a strong practitioner with all his strength, the practitioner would probably be able to kill him before he died. He was not afraid of death, but he could not die now. The difficulty on the External Battlefield was not over yet. If he died, he would cause an extremely bad impact.
"Alas..." the senior elder sighed deeply, feeling somewhat helpless. He still couldn't kill the biggest borer of the Dragon Kingdom in front of him.
The president was ashen. After being silent for a while, he fixed his eyes on the senior elder and seriously said, "Shelton, you reached your limit just now, right? Can you kill me? Or you want to die with me today? If you think that's fine, let's die together today. The Dragon Kingdom will be in complete disorder!"
The senior elder fell silent. He stopped talking, but glanced at the ground where the second elder was fighting. Then he had a more complicated look in his eyes, feeling more helpless.
At the moment on another peak, when he saw the senior elder looking in this direction, the second elder Judy took a deep sigh, feeling so helpless. Yes, he did feel helpless. After all, these secluded sects had a long history and a lot of accumulated strength.
He was fighting against six people. One was about to be a King-level powerhouse, and the other five were at the peak stage of the Emperor level. Although he fought with all his might and had seriously wounded the vice president and three Emperor-level practitioners, it was not enough. He was also seriously wounded, and his condition was more terrible than the senior elder's. Now he had seven or eight cuts, blood running out of them.
Then came four teachers, who were at the peak stage of the Emperor level, and a young person in white with a long sword, who was at the last stage of the Emperor level. As soon as they came, they surrounded the second elder as their sect members had done.
This showed that the Spiritual Cave had hidden a lot of its strength, and that it had accumulated so much power over the academy's long history. Dripping with blood, the second elder was silent. Even if he used up his strength, he could at most kill five or six of them and die on the spot.
The young person who had come here had an extremely arrogant look in his eyes. He said to the second elder quite confidently, "You're Judy Lopez, the second elder of the Dragon Kingdom? You're very strong, and so is the senior elder Shelton Hayes. Both of you can seriously wound our presidents, but you don't have much strength left. If you want to fight, you're bound to lose!"
The second elder's frown deepened. He looked at the young person deeply and asked, "It is said that there is a genius in this generation of the Spiritual Cave. Less than 30, the person has reached the peak of the last stage of the Emperor level, and his fighting power is even as strong as one at the peak stage of the Emperor level. I guess the person is you, right?"
The young powerhouse of the Spiritual Cave smiled faintly and said, "You're right. If no one else in their 20s in the Spiritual Cave is at the last stage of the Emperor level, then the person is me. Second Elder, let me introduce myself. I am Holden Moore, the eldest brother of this generation of the Spiritual Cave. Please leave, Second Elder. You're just two people. You can't win. If we two parties launch an all-out war, the civilians across the country will suffer." The young man talked calmly, not taking the second elder, one who had reached the first stage of the King level, seriously at all.
After all, he was indeed the strongest one of this generation of all the secluded sects of the Spiritual Cave. He had been acclaimed as the reviving leader of the secluded sects a long time ago. And he was absolutely sure he could rise to the King level in two or three years. In the future, he would work to reach higher levels.
"Hahaha... hahaha..." the second elder laughed scornfully when he heard that. Then he pointed his sword at Holden and said, "With your strength? Who do you think you are? You're just a child who hasn't reached the King level, so you're not qualified enough to talk to me! Who gave you the courage, eh? Do you really think I can't kill you because you have those rubbish creatures around you?"
After the second elder finished that, the vice president and three teachers of the Spiritual Cave immediately stood before him to protect him. No matter what, the second elder of the Dragon Kingdom was a real King-level practitioner! If he went crazy to hunt Holden, Holden would be killed!
The vice president fixed his eyes on the second elder and said, "Judy Lopez, think hard! If you dare to kill Holden, we won't stop fighting until you die! Now we all still have room to maneuver!"
"Hahaha..." the second elder laughed madly again. Then he said with disdain, "Hah... room to maneuver? Do you believe it yourself? With the Dragon Kingdom getting more and more flourishing, we two parties have long lost the room to maneuver. You can choose to enter the earthly world and join the Dragon Kingdom! Of course, we won't disgrace you people's status. We'll give you super high authority, and we can even make some of you elders. But... you won't take that path, will you?"
The vice president's face was so dark. Indeed, they were already used to being in a high position. They viewed the civilians across the country as tiny ants, but they were now asked to go out and risk their necks for them? Why?
Looking at the second elder with a very dark face, the vice president said, "Judy, your words are too nice to believe. Black and white are both colors of the world! We admit that the people of the Dragon Kingdom were unified when your country was founded. But what about now? A mess! The mundane humans would rather adore the stars whose genders don't even look so clear than visit the tombs of the soldiers who died on the front line. Do such ants deserve our protection?"
The vice president snorted and stared at Judy. "Judy, you people are already King-level powerhouses. Why do you have to do that then? Is it worth it? We're at peace with the world, but why have you always been trying to force us like this?"
"Bullshit!" the second elder cursed in rage. Then he roared angrily, "You're at peace with the world? You steal large amounts of resources every day, but you say you're at peace with the world without feeling ashamed, eh? Can you close the gate of your academy and stop bringing in anything from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"You...! Humph, we hold different convictions, and we can't get along," the vice president snorted, not wishing to talk anymore.
Behind him, Holden, the eldest brother of this generation of the Spiritual Cave, looked at the second elder deeply and said, "Second Elder, you... just said I'm not qualified enough, eh? But I want to ask why I'm not qualified enough? Is there anyone who is stronger than me in the younger generation of the Dragon Kingdom or the world?"
"Hah... stronger than you? No. When facing a real unmatched genius, you won't even have the qualification to compare with him. Humph, you're one with a very limited outlook! Idiot!" the second elder shouted with strong disdain.
True, Holden was nothing compared with Iwan, the Lord of the Heaven Domain!
"You!" Holden instantly went furious. He was about to say something, but the vice president of the Spiritual Cave stopped him and ordered him to step back. Then, he asked two teachers at the peak stage of the Emperor level to walk him back.
Seeing that, the second elder showed stronger ridicule in his eyes. Could one brought up with special care be called a genius? Compared with that child, this one was not worth a penny.
Now he looked in the direction where the senior elder was. Whether to continue fighting or not today, the senior elder had the final say. They could fearlessly fight and then destroy the Spiritual Cave with thermal weapons, or they could choose to leave. In a word, the choice was in the senior elder's hands.
Yes, the Dragon Kingdom could annihilate the Spiritual Cave today, but the price was too high. The two of them would be unable to leave here. This was why the academy was afraid of them. Of course, they were also afraid of some things from these sects. The reason was simple: If they could not annihilate them at a time, then the Dragon Kingdom would be in chaos immediately. If that happened, the Dragon Kingdom, which had to deal with both domestic and external problems, would probably have to face the scene it had gone through 100 years ago.
...
Then the pale-faced senior elder came to the second elder. He glanced at him worriedly and said, "How's your injury? Is it serious?"
