Gate of Immortality

There was a lone figure who stood over a stone pillar. He glanced at the fight between Blood Moon Hall and Traceless Ghost Pavilion. " Bronze Bull's Demon Bull Fist technique is impressive. He might reach the Eighth stage by next year. Hehe, but only if he walks out alive from here." That man cackled. " Our primary target is still Wei Cang. We have to abduct him and get that information from him." The man muttered.

Suddenly, he saw Night Demon using his Evil Demon Cry. " Hah, That pathetic bastard. He used his signature move so early!" The man sneered. " Anyway, I should go now." The man was preparing to go, but suddenly, his expression changed. He pulled out his sword as he made a reverse slash. A golden light tore through the darkness as it shot at him. But his reverse sword slash deflected it. " Haha, To think you can find me." The man chuckled. His eyes shone with a sinister light.

" Why don't you come and play with me, then?" A young voice laughed. " Haha, Such promising young men are quite rare in this field. Unfortunately, You picked the wrong target." The man laughed. " HAHAHA, How can you kill me when you can't even catch me?" The voice drifted away as another golden light shot at the man. " It's been a while since someone provoked me, Violet Specter. Very good. Let's see how far you can run." Violet Specter laughed as his body became a violet streak of light.

The young man was none other than Yang Shi. He used his sword condensed from metal qi to lure away Violet Specter.

" Bamboo Leaf Storm." The Violet Specter waved his hands as green lights darted out from it.  Yang Shi turned back as Crimson Dusk daggers appeared in his hands. " CLANG CLANG CLANG* With loud noises, he deflected more than a dozen of projectiles. " What the hell are those?" Yang Shi was a bit surprised at the projectile's speed. After he deflected them, he saw those were just like bamboo leaves, albeit made of metal.

Those were thin and sharp flying daggers. They were used in bulk, as their speed is faster than average daggers. The attacks were very hard to dodge, and people can get injured heavily. If yang Shi's Crimson Dusk wasn't faster, he would have gotten injured. Nonetheless, That moment of distraction was enough for Violet Specter to close the distance between them.

*BOOM* A punch flew at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was startled as he activated his Gold Devil Seal. Golden light squirmed through his skin as he used his hands to block it. Yang Shi blew back a few feet due to impact. " Let's see how you will dodge this." A weapon appeared in Violet Specter's hands. It was a chakra, with three wing-like blades. His hands flashed as he slashed at Yang Shi. Yang Shi used his Starlight Burst to dodge immediately.

Surprisingly, Violet Specter's speed wasn't slower. His hands moved like a shadow as their speed became faster. Yang Shi was amazed as he finally found a person who can match his speed. " Chains of Despair!" Violet Specter shouted. His blades of chakra suddenly shot out. They were bound to the main chakra by a thick black chain. Yang Shi became astonished as it was impossible to dodge.

" Gold Devil Armor." Yang Shi shouted. After forming the embryonic Gold Devil Body, Yang Shi could use metal qi to create a layer of protection around his body. It was the same as wearing metal armor. This was the first ability Gold Devil Seal grants the user. 

He tried to deflect them, he got hit by one of them. "CLANK* His body produced a metallic sound as the blade got deflected. But he could feel a small cut on his skin. Soon, it became slightly blue.

" Ah, Poison." Yang Shi chuckled. He could suppress it with his mixture of fire qi and metal qi. " This is nothing more than an appetizer." Violet Specter laughed. The chains suddenly retracted as Violet Specter attacked again. " Spirit Catching Palm" The air around his arm rippled as it was enveloped by some strange energy. Yang Shi also sneered as he tightly held his daggers.

" Phantom Cut!" His daggers collided with his arms. Strangely, there was no blood. Yang Shi's dagger became faster and faster, Violet Specter only sneered. He clenched his fist as he punched Yang Shi. Yang Shi felt an impact on his chest, but he also clenched his left fist and stabbed the stomach of Violet Specter. But it only went an inch as Yang Shi got pushed back. A trickle of blood fell. " You dare to injure me? Hands of Hundred Tricks." Violet Specter roared.

Yang Shi's hair stood on its end as Violet Specter suddenly disappeared from his position. He was vigilant with his Celestial view. Suddenly, Yang Shi jumped as three needles struck the ground. " Huh?" He was about to move again, but suddenly, a short dagger pierced his thigh. " Goddamn, How fast he is?" yang Shi cursed. Even with his Celestial View, he could only see a violet blur. He could feel his reaction was turning slow. " Damn, is it because of poison?" Yang Shi cursed. But in the thought of poison, he smiled mysteriously. After all, he poured poison over those two daggers, when they were being forged.

" 3,2,1- Now!" Yang Shi shouted as he thrust his dagger to his left side. " Arckk!" Violet Specter was changing his positions, but suddenly, he felt his thighs went limp. Because of that, he had to slow down and got hit by Yang Shi. " Haha, Do you think only you can use poison?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Damn it!" Violet Specter was stunned but he saw Yang Shi's figure became hazy. " Phantom Cut!" Yang Shi shouted. The daggers in their hands became illusory as they slashed in multiple arcs.

Yang Shi aimed at his waist and finally, made a deep cut. " Haha, My poison would slowly paralyze you. Just a bit and you would be good as dead." Yang Shi laughed coldly. " Hmph, Don't think you are any better." Violet Specter sneered. But in his mind, he was already calculating. " No, I must escape from here. As for Night Demon, I think he can handle them. Once I shake off this brat, I will return." Violet Specter mumbled. Suddenly, he waved his hands as countless needles, short daggers shot out. 

" Damn, just how many hidden weapons he has?" Yang Shi was vexed, and he could only dodge them. Surprisingly, all of them were Spirit-grade weapons, so Yang Shi didn't want to be screwed by them. Although he had Gold Devil Armor for protection, it couldn't simply handle a hundred of these things. " I will forge a light Spirit grade armor after I return. But first, I will fucking kill this bastard." Yang Shi grumbled in his heart. He was already at a slight disadvantage due to the movement technique of Violet Specter.

" Heh, It seems your luck is good today. I am letting you live for a few more days." Violet Specter laughed as he turned around and escaped. Yang Shi never thought that he would suddenly escape.

" Old coot, you think you can escape after we fought for so long? Leave behind your life!"
