The Martial Master - 66 Intruders.

“What is that?!”

A limitless orange haze struck his very sight. Killing Intent aimed right at him and the wall that has stood for thousands of years!

“R-report!!”

Panic and confusion galloped in the man’s mind as he staggered to the side of the wall and pushed his hand against a small array. A gentle light lit, and as a small shine entered the sky and flew towards somewhere far away, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet…

“Holy…”

His eyes widened till they seemed to pop out, where that original hazed orange in the horizon had transformed! Its size rivalled mountains, and the shape it took was that of a Cannon.

It was aimed right at him, or more specifically, the entrance of the wall!

“S-set up the defensive… Procedures…”

The man’s face was covered in sweat as he attempted to send out a command, but the killing intent coming from that cannon made it excruciating.

*GRRRRRRRRRRR*

A growl shook the sky and the earth as a dim blinding light began to take form inside of the cannon. Its rumble, though closer than whatever that thunderous strike was, resounded just as loudly in his ears.

Despair writhed, and he could only mutter out a sentence…

“May the Heavens bless my family…”

*SPEWWWW*

An all-engulfing beam of orange pierced the air, and in a matter of an instant, it had already arrived! A barrier attempted to form but it was already blitzed out of existence beneath the beam’s slicing aura!

An illusionary silhouette of a sword slashing the sky seemed to take form, striking the wall!

*SLASH*

The man disintegrated without being able to even utter a cry of helplessness. With this, the massive gate that stood and separated two worlds got parted by an undying, orange slash…

Arcs of thunder wept across the earth as this happened, where a whole hundred-mile portion of the wall collapsed! Deafening booms of pummelling rock and strange minerals fell from the sky, seemingly announcing the death of the heavens!

“CHARGE!!”

A cry brimming with battle-intent roared from the horizon as a limitless number of black-clothed swordsmen charged! In no time did they reach the pitiful rubble of that once magnificent wall, where excitement bubbled in their hearts.

The commander, flying above them, smiled as killing intent clouded his eyes. But, just as he was about to issue the command to begin the slaughter, a second terrifying rumble reverberated outwards!

*CA—TCHAAAAAA!*

The sound seemed to be above any other noise as it became the only thing that growled in everyone’s minds. Their very souls seemed to shiver, causing an abrupt pause in their intense, unrivalled momentum.

The commander’s eyes lit with solemn light, where he didn’t even put the rumble in his eyes and roared once more!

“Keep going! No matter the obstacle, slice it!!”

The reignition of their battle-intent erupted, and they all shook that feeling out of their system and charged through the broke rubble! Some flew through the air whilst others remained on the ground, but they all had the same burning desire.

The desire to kill!

…

…

…

*CA—TCHAAAAAA!*

“What’s happening?! This is the second time!”

*WHOOOSH*

Inside of a room the size of the basketball court numerous third circle mages scampered around with pale faces. A faint rumble shook the room they ran in, seeming to contain an aura of sharpness that made their skin tingle.

“We’re being invaded.!!”

With a roar from an inconspicuous corner, a man drenched in sweat yelled out. The three circles on his forehead were trembling, where a strand of information got propelled out and displayed a blurry image.

What it displayed caused every person who was clambering around to pause. A silence arose, and what caused it was a deathly image of a roaring, orange cannon…

And with it, an uncountable number of black-robed soldiers…

“…”

No words could describe the feeling in the hearts of everyone. They could only stare at the image, gathering despair on the crazed surprise attack that is happening at the worst possible time…

Little confidence came from them as they thought about the two beings who were currently disturbing the natural balance of the world. Right in their grounds. Just those two are enough to induce fear, but now a sudden army has knocked on their door?

They may only be of the 3rd circle, but they are the core of the intelligence agency! The only person above them is Yang Wei, but even he has disappeared.

How could they not begin to panic with nobody holding them together?

*BANG*

However, as they were dwindling into despair, an abrupt boom shook the ground while the door at the end of the room opened. A heavy atmosphere immediately shrouded each person, where a single stern woman stepped in!

“What’s with this gloom riddled room? Have you forgotten that we’re able to fight back?”

A feminine voice entered each of their ears, where a petite girl revealed herself. She wore white robes and exuded a paramount atmosphere, though her forehead was shrouded in a fog…

“Stop running about and communicate my message across all towns and villages!”

They all paused, where some nodded.

“I, Elder of the Heavenly Peak, order every capable mage to gather toward the Sects Peaks. The High Elder will soon command us a counterattack to this sudden knock on our Divine Door!”

Without letting them question her, she disappeared in a gush of wind. Nevertheless, a strange calmness seemed to now embrace the room.

“R-right!”

Everyone returned to their places and soon closed their eyes. The circle on their forehead started to glimmer as that message got conveyed to the entire sect…

…

…

…

In a place near Su Min, and at the time just before the first bolt of lightning, a gentle breeze whooshed by.

“…”

Two men, standing in the air, stared at a darkened cloud not too far away. A gigantic golden figure also shone in their eyes, contending with that darkened cloud!

*CA—TCHAAAAAA!*

“So it really is a tribulation cloud… I wonder how many it can send out.”

A calm glint shone in one of robed man’s of their eyes; as if he were watching a simple show. However, the one next to this man seemed to be a lot more solemn…

“High Elder?”

The calm man asked with surprise, but the solemn man sighed, and with a slow and ethereal voice, he spoke.

“If possible, I don’t want to offend that ancient man over there…”

“What?!”

The one next to him jumped in surprise, but the solemn gaze of the High Elder only brightened.

“A great mystery shrouds him, something I daren’t collide with. That being said, his ancient bloodline is something beyond, and if he were to burn it, then I would surely pay dear consequences…”

His gaze seemed to lock onto that indifferent giant that was currently covered in a hazed dust cloud. A tiny glint of gold started to shine within it, and this gold made his mind tingle.

“To be able to summon energy from the 2nd realm with such little strength…”

Nevertheless, at this same moment, the High Elder’s expression turned as he changed direction and stared far into the distance!

“Those… Heathens!”
