Chapter 65: Dangerous Opponents


    The carriage carrying the juniors of the Flying Sword Faction zoomed through the dense forest roads.


    Senior Beldon, who was following along on a horse, furrowed his eyebrows as if he had sensed something.


    He then looked back, only to find the carriages which were supposed to be following them not at all visible, instead reced by a dense white fog that seemed to be inching closer and closer, keeping up with the pace of the carriages, much to his surprise.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, a row of silhouettes whistled through the air, and Senior Beldon immediately shouted. "Enemies! Get down!"


    BAM!


    The carriage halted to a stop, and as soon as it did that, the white fog that was following immediately caught up to them, enveloping the area surrounding the carriage in a matter of seconds.


    "Ho, you actually noticed us? I''m surprised. Perhaps this might be an interesting mission after all," One of the figures descended from the skies, dressed in ck, exuding an extraordinary aura.


    "Who are you?" Senior Beldon stood in front of the carriage with his juniors, and asked.


    "Well, I''m not supposed to tell you this, but whatever! Where''s the fun in that, right?" The young manughed sinisterly as he continued, "The name''s Commander Rivaldo Dante, from the country of Barugh!"


    Thud!


    As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the silhouettes descended from the sky at a high speed andnded with a loud noise, surrounding the carriage. There were at least a dozen men surrounding them, causing Senior Beldon to frown.


    "What is this? What is happening?" As this was going on, ude and the rest of the juniors were looking out through the window of the carriage. ude''s gaze was also on the scene in front of them, as a cold light shed within.


    "You''re acting so prestigious and high up, and yet you''re trying to sneak attack a carriage filled with children; despicable and shameless, wouldn''t you agree?" Senior Beldon nced at Rivaldo and spoke coldly, the light shimmering within his eyes was extremely cold.


    ''Kids, I''m afraid you''re going to have to run when I give the instruction!'' At the same time, Senior Beldon controlled his voice and whispered slowly to his juniors inside the carriage.


    "What?" The eyes of the juniors widened in surprise as they heard the words of Senior Beldon. "What do you mean by that, Senior? Are you telling us to abandon you?" Hugh, who had understood what his senior was asking him to do, whispered back in desperation.


    Thud!


    Before Senior Beldon could reply to his juniors, the expressions on the enemy''s faces all drastically changed, as one of the soldiers who was standing behind Rivaldo roared in rage,"You ant! You dare to disrespect the prestigious army of Barugh? Insolent fool!"


    "Stop!" Rivaldo raised his hands, motioning the soldier to close his mouth, and the soldier turned silent. A deep grin appeared on Rivaldo''s face as he spoke."He''s just trying to get us riled up. Isn''t that right, Mr?"


    "Beldon!" Senior Beldon spoke with a cold tone. "Senior Wilfred Beldon of the Flying Sword Faction!"


    "I didn''t expect you to answer my question," Rivaldo''s eyes gleamed with a crimson bloody glow as he spoke, and Senior Beldon shrugged his shoulders in response. "I like to make sure that my enemies have a good idea who put an end to their life!"


    Boom!


    As soon as he finished speaking, Senior Beldon shot forward, as resplendent rays of lightning madly shed about, bursting everywhere!


    "JUNIORS, RUN!" Senior Beldon shouted loudly, and right then, the doors of the carriage opened and the junior disciples rushed out and ran into the fog, disappearing from view.


    "Get rid of them!" Rivaldomanded, and some of the soldiers leapt out and followed the juniors'' trail, disappearing along with them.


    "AAAAHH!" Senior Beldon screamed loudly and he raised his hand high up in the air, as a giant hammer appeared.


    "Take this!" As the sound of hismand rang out, the hammer began shaking violently, exuding a cmitous aura as it swung down, aiming for Rivaldo.


    "It''s quite admirable how you sacrificed yourself for your juniors," Rivaldo calmly said as his silhouette flickered. "But unfortunately for you, my mission is to get rid of all the enemies of the Royal Family.. and that includes the disciples of the Second Elder!"


    Wham!


    In an instant, a powerful sword qi swept over the surroundings, and before Senior Beldon could strike Rivaldo, the sword qi permeated the air, infusing the atmosphere as it lunged towards Beldon.


    BOOM!


    The impact of that sword qi actually shattered the giant hammer in Beldon''s hands as the sword qi swept out containing a crushing might, mming against him and he was flung through the air, causing him to cough out blood.


    "You poor thing, you could''ve been a formidable addition to the Royal Army if you had chosen your sides wisely!" Rivaldo''s eyes turned sharp as he lunged towards the falling Beldon. "But you chose the wrong side!"


    "See, that''s where you''re wrong," Senior Beldon saw the fast approaching Rivaldo, but his eyes were incredibly calm as he spoke. "I didn''t choose the wrong side.."


    "What?" The eyes of Commander Rivaldo flickered, taken aback by his words. But before he could think any further, a bright light illuminated the surroundings, blinding him for a brief moment before vanishingpletely.


    "Stop, Rivaldo.." A voice drifted over to his ears and he opened his eyes, only to see a flying figure in front of him.


    "You''re!"


    *****************


    p! p!


    "Well, wasn''t that something?" As he was thinking that, a pping sound echoed out, followed by a calm voice, which made the two of them cautious and on high alert.


    From the fog emerged a young man, d in ck. His gaze shed with a faint coldness, and with a sinister smile on his face, he spoke. "But I''m afraid ytime''s over. Time to get serious!"


    "Who the hell are you?" The Headmaster of the Golden Avarice Academy red at the man who appeared in front of them, and the Second Elder moved to the side of the Headmaster.


    "It''s not surprising that you don''t know me. Let''s just say I''m someone from outside the country," the man''s voice was emotionless as he spoke. "You can call me Arthur!"


    Whoosh!


    As soon as he spoke, his body began radiating boundless spiritual energy and it manifested in his palm as a longsword.


    "Baron, be careful. He''s extremely dangerous," the Headmaster inclined his head and stared at the Second Elder, who nodded his head.


    Zam!


    With the glowing longsword in his hands, Arthur abruptly shed out with an unsurpassable might, and the longsword vibrated fiercely in his hand before the sword light emerged, slicing forward and heading towards the Headmaster and the Second Elder.


    "Look out!" The Headmaster yelled out as his eyes flickered with terrifying killing intent, and the skies began rumbling all of a sudden before a golden light shot out through the clouds, heading towards the longsword that Arthur was holding.


    "Very good! But I don''t think that''s enough!" Arthur inclined his head and stared at the sky as the sword light was fast approaching the Headmaster.


    Boom!


    The golden light that emerged from the skies collided with the sword light, creating a gigantic explosion and a deafening sound.


    "Headmaster, look out!" The Second Elder yelled out, and the Headmaster widened his eyes.


    The longsword shot through the dust and smoke resulting from the explosion, heading towards the Headmaster at lightning speed.


    "Hah!" The Headmaster snorted and swung his hands as the long spear appeared in his hands, using it to defend against the attack.


    BAM!


    The collision resulted in the Headmaster being pushed back, and he gritted his teeth in response.


    "Oh? You defended against that? Impressive!" Arthur had a calm expression on his face as he spoke. It seemed like he wasn''t surprised at all.


    "Don''t underestimate us you fool!" The Second Elder screamed, already appearing right behind Arthur in the blink of an eye, as he swung his sword.


    "Apologies if I offended you.. but I can assure you that I''m really not underestimating you both, my friend!" Before the Second Elder''s sword connected with his neck, Arthur had already disappeared from the spot, catching the Second Elder off guard.


    ''What? He disappeared right in front of me? Impossible!'' Such an unexpected scene caused the Second Elder to bepletely dumbfounded.


    "Don''t be too surprised, my friend!" Arthur''s voice drifted into his ear and the Second Elder immediately turned around only to find his sword shing downwards, aiming at his skull!


    ng!


    Before the sword could strike the Second Elder, the Headmaster, who had appeared right next to him, swung his spear forward in an attempt to block the attack.


    Boom!


    The resulting explosion was massive, and pushed the three cultivators backwards.


    The Second Elder moved to the Headmaster''s side once again, but this time his countenance had turned unsightly. "Forgive me Headmaster, I was too careless!"


    "Now is not the time, Baron!" The Headmaster shook his head, and he pointed at their enemy, who looked disinterested. "We have to find a way to defeat him. He''s no normal opponent."


    "What do you have in mind?" The Second Elder looked at the Headmaster, who stared back at him with a bitter smile on his face. "I''m afraid I''m going to have to use THAT!"
