The Legend of Min Hong

'Oh, so that's how it should be… Can't believe my lack of control over my Dao energy back then caused the technique to lose a lot of power…'

Min Hong thought to himself as he felt the Metal Dao aura in his body depleting at an obscene rate, but with a thought, Min Hong began focused his Metal Dao energy into a specific point instead of letting it blaze out uncontrollably and the repercussion of that action saw the blade in his hand begin to shrink until it reached the size of the 'Soul Slayer Blade', Min Hong's perfect size…

Min Hong's ideal size of a perfect sword is that it must be the length of his entire arm at the longest and the length from his elbow to his fingertips at the shortest, but the 'Soul Slayer Blade' stood just in the middle of both sides, making it neither too long nor too short, as Min Hong looked up to the incoming Left Grand Elder and smirked;

"Dragon Slayer Sword; First Stance – Chaotic Soul Slash!"

He almost whispered as he swung the blade with unprecedented aggression;

Schwinn! Clang!

The duo collided and separated with Min Hong retreating about 5 meters mid-air and the Left Grand Elder thrown back about half the distance…

'Tch, this kid… It would be a little difficult to actually finish him off in time…'

'I don't want those useless shadows to escape, but as we have clashed twice already, this kid would obviously want to see where our fight ends…'

'Thus, I must finish up here as soon as possible…'

The Left Grand Elder thought to himself before looking in a certain direction and bellowing;

"What are you guys lying around over there for?"

"Finish them off!"

He commanded as the Tribe Leader, Lady and the Right Grand Elder all exploded with obscene level of cultivation with the initial duo erupting with a 5 Star Saint Stage cultivation base, whilst a 7 Star Saint Stage cultivation seeped out of the Right Grand Elder;

'Damn… I misjudged these three's cultivation base power…'

Min Hong thought to himself as he quickly organized his team;

"Mao My, Elder Fu, Gu Ming; take on the Right Grand Elder…"

"Gong Yi, Xiao Gui, Tong Tian; Take on the Tribe Leader…"

"Ki Ting, Princess, Yu Ming; take on the Tribe Lady…"

"Should you be focused on other's battle at this point?"

Min Hong was still busy churning out battle tactics when the Left Grand Elder's voice floated over from point blank range, with his massive demonic claws only inches from his chest…

"Soul Rendering Claws!"

The Left Grand Elder smashed his attack straight into Min Hong's guts as he was sent flying into the ground where he tumbled over and over again before coming to a stop…

"How did that taste?" The Left Grand Elder teased from mid-air;

"So, this is what a Nirvana Stage attack feels like?" Min Hong responded;

"It stings quite a bit… But thanks to that, you have set yourself up for a blood churning fight!"

Min Hong smirked as his amour suddenly glowed up and began to rearrange itself; 'Alright, now that it has gauged the strength of my opponent, let's see if it works…'

Min Hong rubbed his finger over the amour before stomping one foot into the ground sending a 3 meter spider web of cracks tearing across the ground as he vanished from sight, reappearing right in front of the Left grand Elder who wasn't at all surprised by his impossible speed;

"See Through!"

The Left Grand Elder blurted as purple flames blazed out of his eyes;

Instantly he could see all of Min Hong's energy movements, which enabled him to realize all of Min Hong's probable attack styles;

'Eh… He's planning on using the sword attack as a feint and then launch a quick kick towards my torso which would be defenseless by then…'

'Hmph, nice little trick, but it won't work against me…'

The Left Grand Elder thought to himself as he grinned wickedly; Min Hong arrived and just as expected slashed his sword towards the Left Grand Elder's head…

The Left Grand Elder simply wrapped his entire arm in demonic Qi as he blocked the attack and just as he had anticipated, the force from the attack was almost nonexistence; as Min Hong flipped mid-air before sending a vicious kick towards his groin;

"Hmph… Too easy!"

The Left Grand Elder snorted as he made his hand into a claw  once again, but instead of blocking Min Hong's kick, he actually attacked his leg;

Clank!

The attack made contact and contrary to the Left Grand Elder's expectation, there was no sound of broken bones, and neither was there any scream of agony, blood or anything that could indicate that his attack actually had an effect…

Min Hong grinned the moment this happened because he felt no pain whatsoever from the clash, but unwilling to end up with no damage on both sides, Min Hong's left eye suddenly spurted blood as the blazing eye of the Left Grand Elder managed to catch sight of something rippling like a mirage

[Check the body of a car which has been in the sun for a long time…]

But it was too late to dodge, thus, he simply placed his arm in the path of whatever it was that was coming for him;

Arghh!

He yelled in agony as the rest on the other battlefields began to perceive the scent of roasting flesh, before they all looked to the origin of the smell and saw an agony stricken Left Grand Elder who was holding his hand which was now bare, scorched and still somewhat burning…

The strange thing was that, there was no flame in sight;

'Tch… What sort of flames is this?'

'It's actually invisible…'

The Left grand Elder frowned slightly as his hand continued to roast, then with a simple wave of his sleeves, water surged out of the empty air;

"Unh!?" Min Hong was instantaneously stunned;

[Did you guys see that!?] Min Hong asked as his heart rippled with shock;

[Clearly… It looks like a formation of some sort…] Daniel responded;

[Yeah… It looked more like an teleportation formation…] Little Fei added;
