Chapter 556 Good.
“What is it?” Iseine asked.
Ryu’s gaze seed odd at the mont, and his smile definitely felt different. However, though Iseine could also see through hundreds of miles, there was too much in that direction for her to point out exactly what Ryu was looking at.
“Nothing much. Just that it seems that the older generation is starting to pay a little bit of attention.”
Iseine’s gaze shook at these words. “Should we go down?”
“No.” Ryu said. “It isn’t quite ti yet for the old to co to take revenge for the young. That would take much more commotion than just this.”
Iseine was speechless. More? Even she wasn’t this unruly. However, when she saw that Ryu actually planned to put what he said to action, she almost couldn’t stop herself from reaching out to stop him.
Ryu’s hand grasped forward, snatching one of his Great Swordstaffs out of the air. Even now, they were still being nurtured by the stifling cold qi in the surroundings, becoming more and more solid and powerful with each passing mont.
Ryu raised his arm in to the air, holding his blade with one hand and Iseine’s waist in the other.
‘[Third Perspective].’
In the blink of an eye, the entirety of the Heaven’s Dew branch was reflected in Ryu’s mind. Tens of thousands of kiloters in every direction was painted into his psyche with the ease of a single stroke. He locked onto every aura of note with ease.
And the most fear inducing part…? Not a single soul was even aware.
“You will be the first.”
Ryu swung his blade down.
The air whistled and whined, a large scythe of blue, crystalline energy jetting out as though it had a mind of its own.
It tore a path through the skies, leaving nothing but frozen remains in its wake. Windows shattered, the ground turned into a frozen hell, large, sweeping icicles grew off of the buildings, hos and towers… And yet, the Great Swordstaff Qi remained unhurried, undiminished, and unaffected.
At that mont, a sudden surge of qi rose out of a building in the distance. It tore its way out from the roof, turning to face the scythe of blue headed its way with a ferocious montum.
Unfortunately, even after gathering up all the montum they could, it was all useless.
Another ice coffin was ford, falling from the ground with a heavy thud, a look of unwillingness and rage forever etched onto their face.
“… Didn’t you say that those who didn’t co out personally weren’t worthy of fighting you at all?” Iseine really didn’t know what to say about Ryu at this point.
“They were taking too long.” Ryu replied simply, his blade rising high in the skies once again.
“That was the 81st ranked…” Iseine couldn’t even finish her words before Ryu’s blade descended again. “… That’s the 78th… The 74th…”ρaꪁⅆa ꪁꪫꪚⅇꪶ
Iseine shook her head. At this point, she just accepted that her life was finished. Even her father wouldn’t be able to block her out from all this commotion. Plus, the trial for the Throne wasn’t even here. If Iseine had to be honest, she wasn’t entirely sure where it was either, she just had a good guess. After all, you couldn’t just hide away your Throne Trial, that would be yet another hit to your Faith.
What she did know, though, was that it most definitely wasn’t here. Ryu hadn’t even given her ti to explain anything before he went on a rampage. Clearly, he was just using this as an excuse to vent so of his frustrations.
Ryu’s blade descended again.
“If you’re going to do this, why waste ti on Path Extinction Realm experts at all! You might as well target the Dao Pedestal Realm ones!”
“I’m saving myself so ti.” Ryu replied.
“How is this–?!”
Ryu’s blade descended again.
It was like he was paving roads of ice. From above, it looked as though the city was being frozen beneath layer after layer. In fact, Ryu even felt like his Ice Fla might progress to the Monarch Realm very soon.
“Hm…?”
Ryu’s blade suddenly paused, his smile fading. Iseine, who was by his side, suddenly felt a shiver down her spine.
As long as Ryu’s smile remained, as long as he was still having fun, even if he went overboard, Iseine felt that he wouldn’t go too far. However… If that smile faded… And he let the rage of what had happened in this place overwhelm the happiness he felt toward finally being back in the place he was born…
At that mont, an arc of scarlet fla tore through the skies. The flas were so hot that the falling temperatures began to slowly rise once again, the snow that had been falling from the dense clouds above vanishing into puffs of vapor.
The flas were such a harsh color of crimson that they almost seed to be painted out of blood. The pair of wings they originated from sent a wall of heat forward every ti they flapped, leaving even more devastation than Ryu’s ice ever had.
Ryu didn’t even pay much attention to the person the wings were attached to. He couldn’t take his eyes off of the fla themselves. He didn’t even really register the fact that this winged individual was carrying another person with a hand to their shoulder.
He was all too familiar with those flas. He had seen them countless tis.
If the Deep Eruption Sect was among the weakest subordinates the Tatsuya Clan had, then this Clan was among the strongest. Not only were they among the strongest, they were almost among the closest, even allowed to frequent the Tatsuya Palace with almost as much ease as a Tatsuya could.
Maybe to call them subordinates was incorrect as the power they held was no less great than the descendants of other Ancient Beasts.
But… The fact that one of their own here and was even freely cozying up with the other youths of the Martial Gods… Wasn’t the betrayal as clear as day?
‘The Scarlet Sparrow Clan… Good.’ A fiery light lit Ryu’s gaze. ‘I was just getting bored.’
