Monarch of Darkness

In the distance sky, three figures were hidden beneath the blanket of cloud. The facial expression of the man who was standing in the middle suddenly changed. A wild aura came surging and after few moments the two experts together with him also noticed something.

"Why this madman is here?", an expert who was standing to the left exclaimed. Clear shock was written all over his face as he looked at the distant horizon.

"It is over. The Thousand swords kingdom has bad luck to attract this disaster", the expert to the right commented. The expert who stood in the middle didn't comment anything but a deep frown appeared on his easy going face.

"Second queen of Thousand swords kingdom, come and meet this Ye. I promise there will be no harm to your kingdom, if your beauty satisfies me", a thunderous voice sounded in the sky of Thousand swords kingdom.

People were already gathered in the surrounding of the Black family. Although it was the time of night but it couldn't hinder the enthusiasm of people who were gathered together to witness the prowcess of true experts.

"Who is this man? How dare he utter such shameless words about the second queen?", the citizen of the Sword city discussed among themselves.

"Shhh! Are you trying to court death? That is surely a Law sea realm expert. Moreover, from his powerful demeanor one can tell that he is not afraid of the royal family ancestor", one of the people spoke as looked wearily towards the distant sky.

The face of Ether Jackson became stern as he looked towards the distant sky. A silhouette gradually became clear infront of his eyes. The speed of that silhouette was extremely fast. 

Within seconds, it appeared Infront of everyone's eyes. "What is this beast?", people cried out in shock after seeing the true appearance of the silhouette.

It was a large bird which had two enormous blood coloured wings. It's furious eyes coldly observed the crowd of people gathered below it.

"Screech!", it let out a loud roar after feeling the aura of the gathered experts. A chill ran down in the spine of the people who were gathered to witness the battle between the experts.

"Ancient blood devouring king vulture", Ether Jackson muttered after seeing the enormous magical beast. He eyed the person riding it and a stern expression appeared on his old face.

"Blood thunder hall!", Ether Jackson exclaimed as he looked at the attire of the expert riding the Ancient blood devouring king vulture.

'Screech!'

'Screech',

Loud bird cry came from the distant sky. Everyone's gaze turned towards the direction of Ancient blood devouring king vulture. Flapping sounds of wings came and two tiny dots gradually became clear in everyone's eyes.

Two tiny dots were large flying beasts who were half the size of Ancient blood devouring king vulture. "Golden orb Sect", Ether Jackson's gaze turned icy after seeing the people on the two flying beasts.

"I will take care of you later", Ether Jackson spoke to the Lin family Law sea stage expert. His figure flashed and he appeared Infront of Evan.

"Little brat, return with me to the palace. This place is no longer safe for you", Ether Jackson spoke without noticing the gaze of Evan which had already turned icy after hearing the words of the Blood thunder hall.

"Young master Beiming, that brat is the young prince of Thousand swords kingdom. If you can capture him, second queen will automatically appear", an expert of the Golden orb sect shouted.

The person on the top of the Ancient blood devouring king vulture looked towards the direction where Evan and Ether Jackson was standing.

He clenched his hand and purple coloured energy gathered around his hand. Soon it took the shape of a ferocious looking snake. "Go", he yelled and the snake directly rushed towards Evan's direction.

"There is no need to keep around a vile spawn. She will have no attachment to this kingdom after I kill this little brat", the person on the top of the Ancient blood devouring king vulture spoke lightly. His face was calm but the Golden orb sect experts felt a chill in their heart after hearing his words.

A purple coloured snake came rushing towards the direction where Evan and Ether Jackson was standing. Ether Jackson became stunned for a moment. There was a disbelieving look on his face as he saw the purple snake rushing towards their direction.

"How dare you?", Ether Jackson roared. He took out a ancient looking sword and pure essence energy of heaven and earth gathered around him. The energy soon took the shape of a sword. He hurriedly threw it towards the purple coloured snake.

"Bang!", both of the attack collided. The sword made by Ether Jackson broken apart after contact but it didn't manage to stop the purple snake. It directly rushed towards Evan and Ether Jackson.

Suddenly Evan felt a strong hand gripping his wrist. "Little Prince, let's leave this place", the shadow commander spoke. He saw that the situation was deteriorating. So, he chose to lead Evan away.

"Send him to the palace", Ether Jackson sent a mental message to the Shadow commander without moving his lips. Sending a mental message was a special abilty of cultivators who were proficient in using their soul consciousness. Generally peak stage Nascent soul realm experts and experts of Law sea realm coulld do this.

Ether Jackson looked at the approaching purple snake after he sent away Evan and the shadow commander. A overwhelming aura surged from his body as he took a step forward. Essence energy gathered around him and he launched himself towards the purple snake.

"Arclight chop", he roared out as his body moved strangely. Before one could understand what was happening, he was already back to his previous posture.

The purple dragon was cut in half strangely after a moment. The eyes of the person who was riding on the Ancient blood devouring king vulture narrowed after he saw his purple snake attack cut in half.

"What are you guys waiting for? Kill that little brat and the masked person", he yelled at the Golden orb sect experts. The Golden orb sect experts nodded their heads and charged towards the Shadow commander.

"A brat from Blood thunder hall dare act arrogant in my Thousand swords kingdom", a voice suddenly came from the direction of the palace. 

"That old man finally decides to show himself", Ether Jackson muttered after he heard the voice coming from the direction of the palace. The eyes of the expert who was riding the Ancient blood devouring king vulture flickered as he heard the voice coming from the palace.

The experts of the Golden orb sect felt something as they halted their chase of Evan and the shadow commander. They looked wearily towards the direction where the palace was located.

"People of Golden orb sect, you finally show your fangs towards us. Do you think our Thousand swords kingdom fears you? We didn't take any action because there was a slight relationship between your ancestor and our royal family. Now let me show everyone, what happened to those who dare stand against my family", a hoarse voice appeared in the sky of the Sword capital.

"Watch out", the person from Blood thunder sect called out but it was too late. A old man appeared like a ghost behind the Golden orb sect experts. Before anyone could act a ripple appeared and the Golden orb sect experts cut in half.

"Let's withdraw first. This person is dangerous. He is atleast a sixth stage Law sea realm expert", the leading person among the three experts who were hiding behind the distant cloud spoke. The other two experts nodded their heads unanimously. Their figures flashed as they disappeared from their places.

The old man who had just arrived from the palace looked towards the distant cloud where the three experts were hiding before a moment. His eyes narrowed but he didn't give chase. His gaze turned towards the expert of Blood thunder hall who was riding an Ancient blood devouring king vulture.
