Apotheosis

Although the cultivation bases of the guards Marco brought with him were not that high, most of them were former Oneness Guards, and in some sense, they were also the Xu Clan's family guards.

They were a little relieved when they saw that Marco didn't have other wounds besides his pierced chest.

If Milo really had wanted to kill Marco, he would not have gone straight for the chest. The wound was serious to be sure, but if properly treated Marco would be just fine.

The guards began approaching Marco when suddenly and vigorously blood spurted out of his chest.

His blood transformed into blood swords and slashed at the guards!

The guards hadn't seen this coming. Many of them managed to get out of the way, but two of them were struck by the blood swords.

Marco was understandably startled on seeing the blood shooting out of his chest like a fountain. It was true he was as good a warrior as Milo, but he had never faced a life-and-death situation before and had no idea how to handle it.

The guards were unable to get close to Marco. But if they didn't, he would surely bleed out and die.

"My friend, Young Master Marco is the son of the master of Vastness Mountain. If he dies here, I'm afraid you will have a hard time explaining this to our master," the leader of the guards said sternly.

Milo didn't respond and stood stone-faced. Instead, Kate jumped in, "Your master has two hundred and thirty sons, and Marco isn't one of the good ones. Trust me, we can afford the consequences of him dying."

"What?" The guard's expression turned grim. "Then we will feel no remorse for what happens next!"

He wasn't sure if Flow Sword Sect really could take the consequences of Marco's death, but he knew for sure he and the other guards could not. It seemed to him the only way to prevent any trouble for himself was to stop Milo.

These guards were all former three-star and four-star Oneness Guards, every one of them possessing remarkable strength.

Milo probably could not take on more than ten people at once. Kate, who stood beside Milo, scoffed and drew a small sword.

As she did so, they heard someone shouting from a corner.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you behave like this in our sect?"

"We may not be a large an

ly high. With Milo joining, the status of Flow Sword Sect had gradually risen. After all, a warrior capable of Instant Enlightenment was invaluable throughout the palace.

When Milo had decided to join Flow Sword Sect, Unique Array Sword Sect and Killing Sword Sect were unhappy with his decision. They even tried to ask Flow Sword Sect to give Milo to them. But, of course, Flow Sword Sect did not agree. More importantly, the choice was Milo's in the end.

Now that Zen had joined them as well and their sect ranked first twice in the Seven Mountains Meeting, there was no doubt that Flow Sword Sect would be increasingly more prosperous.

Since the commotion had been settled, Zen cupped his hands to the others and was about to return to his house.

Milo jogged over to him and asked in a light tone, "Do you have a moment, Zen?"

Zen looked curiously at him, wondering why this proud and haughty man had suddenly become so courteous.

He contained his curiosity and asked, "What's the matter, Milo?"

It was very difficult for Milo to ask for someone else for a favor, but he pushed through his natural instincts and managed a smile as he asked, "Can we go in and talk about it?"

Zen blinked and gestured. "Please."

Milo was overjoyed. "Thank you very much, Zen," he added.

He then brought Kate into Zen's house.

Konnor, Mekhi and the others were puzzled at what they saw. They wondered why Milo, who was always aloof and arrogant, was so well-mannered and polite all of a sudden.
