Legend of Swordsman

ollowed by agonizing pain that forced them to spat out mouthfuls of blood as they recoiled from the blasts of force that hammered them.

“What was that?” The purple-haired man looked at Jian Wushuang incredulous once he regained his steadiness.

“Despite his level of the Eternal Realm, the young man possesses unusual strengths, or at least he has remarkable aptitude in using methods of sonic attacks!” The purple-haired man’s brows furrowed with doubt.
With only one loud cry, the young man was able to inflict upon them serious injuries.
This was hardly a strength that the four of them could easily defeat.

The purple-haired man immediately relayed a message using telepathy, “We have encountered a strong enemy with powers possibly at the pinnacle of the Eternal Realm.
He could be the strongest warrior that the Heavenly Ape Clan had been hiding all along.”

Shortly after the message was relayed, the four stood quietly and observed Jian Wushuang, showing no signs of attacking once more.

The middle-aged man who was escaping with his child, stopped in his tracks not far away.

He shouted to Jian Wushuang, “Run for your life, young man! The rest of the powerful warriors of the Bone Devil Clan will be arriving soon!”

“The Bone Devil Clan?” Jian Wushuang heard the warning and felt surprised with the name.
He looked up suddenly, murmuring softly, “It is too late, they are here.”

He had barely finished his sentence when the figure of a large man with a wide girth, clothed in red, landed before Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang was standing at a little less than a thousand miles away from the site of the massacre.
But it had merely taken the man, an elderly person clothed in crimson red, to arrive in the blink of an eye after he had received the message of the purple-haired man.

“This is terrible.
Of all evil monsters, it had to be him to had come!” The middle-aged man screamed with horror, breaking into a run as he tried to carry his child and escape.

“There are still powerful warriors of the Heavenly Ape Clan that still draws breath?” The elder in red asked as he surveyed his surrounding with a hateful glare, the strange runic mark on the left of his forehead visibly standing out to all that had seen him.

“It was him, Elder Scorpion!” The purple-haired man pointed at Jian Wushuang and spoke to the elder.
“It was he who had injured us grievously when we encountered him during our chase for the remnants of the Heavenly Ape Clan.
He had released a sound wave attack with a loud cry that struck us hard.”

“Oh? A sound wave attack?” The eyes of the red-robed elder narrowed slightly with suspicion.
“None of the warriors of the Heavenly Ape Clan were adept in the methods of sound wave attacks.
Who are you?”

“As I have mentioned to your kinsmen earlier, I am but a mere innocent bystander.
It was the four of your kinsmen who have mistaken me as an enemy and tried to attack me.
I have no choice but to defend myself in addition to allowing them a taste of their own medicine.” Jian Wushuang replied indifferently.

“A bystander, you say?” The red-robed elder’s brows rose with apparent doubt.
With an arrogant snort, he spoke, “Us of the Bone Devil Clan have proclaimed our intentions to annihilate the Heavenly Ape Clan ten days ago.
As such, the various warriors and practitioners of the other clans and tribes nearby have all withdrawn from this vicinity.
This begs the question: why are you here if you are not one of the Heavenly Ape Clan, as you so claim?”

“Clearly, you were lying!”

Jian Wushuang was astonished.

He has just arrived at the Samsara Continent from the Void Continent.
It was by a stroke of woeful fortune that he emerged here.

His appearance here was purely coincidental as he had hardly any ties with the Heavenly Ape Clan.

“Hmph! Moreover, only one of the Bone Devil Clan may enact judgment upon one of our own.
Who are you, a mere warrior of the Eternal Realm, to dispense punishment to us?” The red-robed elder growled furiously.

“And for that reason, no matter who you are, you shall pay the price of insolence” The red-robed elder hurled himself at Jian Wushuang as he spoke, his aura rapidly rising with an overwhelming and terrible intensity.
