The eastern sky slowly revealed a hint of dawn light. The quiet capital gradually began its daily bustle. Though great events had shaken the city these past two days, citizens still hurried for their livelihoods.
After a simple breakfast, Ye Chui’s group, hidden in the rundown courtyard, set out in the morning light towards the Ancestral God Temple. They prepared to face the impending battle.
People already sparsely filled the streets. Many city guards searched for Ye Chui’s group. Soon, the moustached guard captain led men to surround them. Panting, he shouted loudly. “Halt! Finally found you. In the name of Tidal Empire city guard chief, I arrest you!”
Ye Chui calmly glanced at the moustache. Walked before him, patting his shoulder—the moustache naturally would not let anyone approach easily. But when trying to dodge Ye Chui’s palm, it already landed. He could not evade. Ye Chui faintly said, “Xelas is in that dilapidated house over there. He should be your superior. Please ensure his safety. You should know his son wants to kill him.”
“I will certainly protect Lord Xelas. No need for you to say!” The moustache immediately said. Waved hand sending subordinates to fetch Xelas. He continued coldly to Ye Chui, “You are now under arrest. I advise surrender…”
“Sorry, we have matters.” Ye Chui said thus. Tidal city guards immediately tensed, preparing battle. Then next moment whoosh whoosh sounds. Space around Ye Chui’s group emerged weapons of unique designs. All radiating powerful cold killing intent. [Arsenal of the King]!
Ye Chui glanced at instinctive panic on moustache’s face. Then calmly led group past moustache and city guards.
Perhaps those terrifying weapons too chilling. Momentarily no one dared move. They just watched Ye Chui’s group pass. Heading towards Ancestral God Temple.
Until far away, moustache as if snapping awake. Body somewhat sweat-soaked. Mouth panting. Initially panting from rushing. But now from sensing Ye Chui’s group’s powerful oppressive aura. These people carried strong intent to cause trouble…
“Their direction is Ancestral God Temple… Seems their companions indeed inside!” Moustache inwardly speculated. He not idle. Teacher Faze returned to capital last night. Immediately appeared outside Ancestral God Temple. Faze cold personality. Did not tell others what doing. But moustache already guessed much.
His eyes suddenly grew expectant. “Looks like Star Empire number one magic guild president and Tidal Empire’s strongest will battle?”
…
When Ye Chui’s group appeared in forbidden forest outside Ancestral God Temple, they saw forest densely filled with ferocious terrifying puppets. Puppet masters mixed among them.
Puppets named puppets naturally lacked much autonomous consciousness—rumoured in gods era, could create puppets with consciousness nearly indistinguishable from real people. But for current puppet masters, far from that realm.
Puppets even if autonomously battle, needed puppet masters secretly control.
Faze commanded puppet army gathered Tidal Empire’s strongest puppet masters. Puppet master strength judged by controllable puppets number. In Faze’s army, each puppet master controlled over thirteen puppets. Most up to hundred!
Now puppet army fully surrounded Ancestral God Temple. They saw Ye Chui’s group. Coldly prepared launch terrifying assault.
Ye Chui mouth slightly smiled. Turned to Bart behind. “Hanzo, clear path.”
“President Ye Chui, though I accepted your power, I did not agree to change name too.” Bart skillfully nocked arrow. Aimed at puppet army ahead.
Just as he finished speaking, whoosh shot arrow out.
Facing puppet army, use one arrow clear path?
Of course not ordinary arrow.
As arrow shot, Bart’s bare left arm fresh tattooed Mad Dragon suddenly activated. Turned into ferocious Mad Dragon emerging. Bart himself also Divine Dragon rising. Two dragons entwined. Roaring together.
Simultaneously, strange loud shout rang—”Six what the hell too pit I cry la!”
(PS: You ga wa ga die ki I ku ra wu…)
Accompanying arrow, twin dragons roaring charged forward.
Fused Mad Dragon, Divine Dragon power. Bart’s attack could say initial most complete [Mad Dragon] phantom beast. Because strength could not compare Xelas, Xeral brothers. So Bart’s attack perhaps not reach father uncle realm. But combined twin dragons power attack still extreme powerful.
Twin dragons entwined. Crushing all way. Unstoppably charged into puppet army!
Those ferocious puppets each had extremely hard shells and bodies. Forged from Tidal Empire specialty Mias steel stone. But facing twin dragons, their bodies like paper in wind. Continuously shattering. Puppet masters hidden among layers puppets involuntarily cried out in alarm. Fleeing all directions.
Twin dragons charged killing. Left ground puppet wreckage. Carved path through dense puppet army.
Ye Chui’s group followed that path towards Ancestral God Temple.
Before Fiorre’s small courtyard in Ancestral God Temple, Puppet God clan leader Faze stood face gloomy outside turtle pattern barrier.
Inside barrier Debbie etc also noticed twin dragons assault. Stood inside watching.
Roaring twin dragons after unstoppable breakthrough layers puppets. Head-on charged Faze.
Faze coldly snorted. Thick heavy right arm raised. Aimed at oncoming twin dragons. Punched out.
Boom!
Invisible aura oppressed series terrifying explosion sounds. Buildings, trees around Faze scattered collapsed. Faze’s steps dragged back half step. But his powerful strength still blocked twin dragons. Causing twin dragons dissipate!
“Those two brats Xelas and Xeral…” Faze seemed sense origin from this power.
Xelas and Xeral brothers already over seventy. But in Faze’s mouth still brats. Because he counted as their teacher. Personally experienced their house leader dispute splitting [Mad Dragon] phantom beast. Now twin dragons undoubtedly combined split phantom beast power attack.
Previously twin dragons cleared path dispersing puppet army to sides. Immediately wanted re-block before Faze. But Faze waved heavy right arm. Signalling let Ye Chui’s group approach.
He wanted personally meet this recently rising young magic mentor famed across entire Castro continent.
Twin dragons clearing path was boy’s greeting gift.
Then he also give opponent greeting gift.
When Ye Chui’s group appeared in his sight, he shouted. Heavy right arm punched ground. Fist not hammer terrifying crater in ground. Instead caused ground mysterious vibration. With that vibration, surrounding building ruins turned flying sand. Trees turned wood chips. Faze’s terrifying fist force oscillated all directions. Turned this Ancestral God Temple area into flat battlefield!
Only extreme precise power control could achieve this.
This punch responded just twin dragons. Also created battle battlefield!
“Whoa!” Watching Faze’s performance, Ye Chui almost wanted clap praise. Nice work!
He knew Faze’s intent. Thus turned gave Green eye signal. Then stepped forward towards Faze.
“You must be Tidal Empire’s number one powerhouse, Mr Faze.” Ye Chui bowed noble courtesy.
“Arbitrary Magic Guild president. Did not expect so young. After fifty, I never fought youths. But for you today I willing exception. You Star Empire come our Tidal Empire wreak havoc. Emperor Empress died unnatural deaths. I absolutely not forgive you!” Faze coldly loudly said. Aura on body rapidly rising. “Today, I kill you!”
“You indeed very strong. Perhaps stronger than any enemy I met. My blood boiling too.” Ye Chui face full battle intent said. Assumed battle stance. “Good. Today let me experience Tidal Empire number one powerhouse methods!”
Two powerhouses meet. Extreme powerful decisive battle about begin.
This scene full sacred meaning.
Inside barrier Neil hurriedly wiped mouth grilled meat grease (…). Eyes emitted expectation and excitement light. Muttered. “Since twenty years ago Teacher Faze reputed empire number one. He never truly fought full power. Unknown if Mr Ye Chui can make Teacher Faze go all out… Though now I stand opposite Teacher Faze. I truly hope see Teacher Faze full power battle scene ah! Ah, my heart truly full conflict…”
Debbie, Guni watching conflicted Miss Neil. Both speechless…
And this moment Faze and Ye Chui auras already peaked.
Puppet army surrounded. Those puppet masters also fanatically watched though aged but still upright old man. They held blind worship for Faze.
Simultaneously held unusual awe for Ye Chui. Able force teacher go all out. This youth enough proud. Even just standing before teacher. Just this enough make one proud!
Tense standoff. As if any moment could erupt heaven-earth destroying power clash.
Faze slowly raised right arm. Arm accumulating own power. This feeling! Countless years no such all-out battle passion. Hope this youth not disappoint him.
He truly too strong. Strong to lonely.
As empire number one. Reputed Tidal power pinnacle. He fundamentally no chance leave island nation challenge other Castro continent powerhouses. This his regret. Now finally chance.
He dead stared Ye Chui.
His eyes this moment only Ye Chui.
Come, my opponent!
His heart roaring.
Battle about begin!
Battle to begin!
Battle already…
“Clang!”
A vibranium brick suddenly came. Smacked Faze’s forehead.
Because too focused Ye Chui. Faze completely unguarded.
He face stunned. Eyes rolled. Body thud fell to ground.
This scene truly too sudden. Momentarily those puppet army and inside barrier Neil. Actually no reaction. Completely dazed.
Ye Chui, Green, Leisha, Celty, Guni and Bart, Evans brothers smoothly stepped over Faze’s body. Entered Guibao’s barrier—joking. Such tense moment Ye Chui where mood play decisive battle with you. First rescue companions most urgent. Later play with you…
