''Battle Style, First Move of Slashing!'' With one swing of a sword, three heads were separated from three different bodies belonging to black-robed figures.
A figure with golden robes with a tinge of red on the sides was floating in the air with his sword stained with blood. His beautiful gem-like eyes scanned the battlefield.
Every now and then, a pain appeared in his eyes after witnessing the death of his disciples.
He was Grandmaster Fang, and he was currently standing on top of dozen corpses; every single one of the corpses had similar black robes.
In the distance, he saw an earth-shaking battle happening. It was between a Dragon and a man who looked like he was a God of Lightning; they were fighting against a powerful-looking man, whose each attack shattered mountains and made Heavens shake in nervousness.
He met Abyss when he was still fighting in Professional matches, and he had the honor of fighting him once.
He, of course, lost, miserably even, and he always thought that there would never be someone as strong as Abyss, but now, he is seeing the World Strongest Man getting pushed back with each collision.
Not even in his wildest dreams, he would have thought that he would witness something like this.
''Ugh!'' Grandmaster Fang turned his head towards the bottom of the pile of corpses and saw one of the figures with black robes still breathing, trying to crawl away while leaving a trail of blood behind.
*Thud*
Grandmaster Fang jumped off the pile and landed next to the black-robed figure.
''Ugh!'' The black-robed figure spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his head towards Grandmaster Fang and grudgingly looked at him.
''Who are you, and what do you want?'' Grandmaster Fang asked and touched the black-robed figure's throat with a tip of his blade.
''Heh…'' The black-robed figure surprisingly chuckled and said, ''We are The Ones Who Are Hiding In the Dark and we want the destruction of World Order and enter an era without Martial Arts, hahahahahahah—'' His laughter was cut off after Grandmaster Fang swiftly beheaded him.
''Lunatics…'' He murmured and looked straight towards the battlefield, where a dead pile of his disciples was located; his eyes seemed pained, and he wished he could go there and help them, but alas… It is impossible for one reason.
Since he started fighting the black-robed figures, he had a hunch that someone was keeping an eye on him.
It was like the black-robed figures were meant to die, and their job was to make him exhausted.
If he plans to help his disciples, he will get sneak attacked. If he goes to help Abyss, he will die.
But then… He saw one of his disciples getting surrounded by three black-robed figures. His disciple had disheveled hair with his robes stained with blood, but he was still standing with a serious look on his face as he prepared to die.
'Young Len…' Grandmaster Fang widened his eyes as his disciple, who had the greatest chances of succeeding him as the Grandmaster is about to die.
Even though Len is currently arrogant and full of himself, it can be changed, and that's what Grandmaster Fang planned to do and groom him as his successor.
He can't allow him to die here!
After seeing the black-robed figures about to deal a finishing strike, Grandmaster Fang flicked his sleeve, which sent a beam of golden energy straight towards Len!
Len closed his eyes and waited for his doom to arrive, but then he heard the sound of metal getting broken…
The next time he opened his eyes, he saw a golden barrier surrounding him while the black-robed figures were holding broken swords.
His eyes sparkled as he looked towards Grandmaster Fang with gratitude filling his eyes, but soon, that look turned into horror after he saw someone about to sneak attack the Grandmaster!
''Grandmaster, look out!'' Len screamed as loud as he could.
In the air, Grandmaster Fang already felt like someone was attacking him, but didn't know from which direction, so without further ado, a golden barrier appeared around his body.
*CLANK!*
An fist struck the golden barrier, and surprisingly, it made a sizeable hole on it.
Grandmaster Fang turned around his head to see his attacker and saw a man with bright red robes with a terrifying-looking face. His face was an abomination, which almost looked swollen after an allergic reaction.
His red robes were different from the rest. While Supreme Leader had bloody robes, this one had brighter ones and was completely different from ordinary black robes, who are probably footsoldiers, but this man is someone important.
''And who may you be?'' Grandmaster Fang asked and grabbed the hilt of his sword tighter.
''My name is…'' The man said with a voice that oozed coldness, ''Genocide.''
''Genocide…'' Grandmaster Fang muttered with a twitching eyebrow, ''Let me guess… Your favorite hobbies are…?''
''Genocides,'' Genocide replied with a stoic-looking face, without any change in his tone or expression.
''Hmph.'' Grandmaster Fang scanned him from head to toe and asked solemnly, ''Rankless Demi-God?''
''Correct,'' Genocide replied.
''Sh*t…'' Grandmaster Fang cursed, 'They want war… Doesn't matter which one of us dies— there will be a war.'
Genocide moved his hands behind his back, and two items appeared on his hands as he revealed them for Grandmaster Fang… They were silver-colored axes with a black handle; his choice of weapon surprised Fang, but it also made him much more serious.
He rarely fights people who use axes, and he has to use his vast experience to figure a way to fight and win.
''Papapapa…'' Fang narrowed his eyes after hearing Genocide making weird noises while clanking his two weapons together.
*Clink*
*Clank*
''Papapapa!'' Genocide looked at the blade of his axe as the reflection showed his abomination of a face, ''Pupupupu!'' He swung the axes around him and kept muttering the weird noises.
''Sigh…'' Grandmaster Fang put the sword in front of him and watched as Genocide moved the axes around him in a masterful manner, he might be weird, but Fang knew that he might be the most dangerous foe he had ever faced!
Even more dangerous than Abyss in some sense!
