Chapter 94: Fighting at the Peak of the Fog

At the same time, when Minos and young Tristram were almost facing each other, Ruth and that young master's bodyguard were already having an intense battle. Fists of Pain! Instant Steps! Ruth activated her two main techniques when she headed towards young Tristram's bodyguard. She wanted to end this fight quickly, to prevent the other 5th stage cultivators in this place from trying to do anything against Minos. When he felt the speed and strength of the fist coming towards him, the bodyguard immediately frowned, activating his defense technique with everything he had. This young woman was attacking him with such force that he paled a little, just by feeling the power of the technique that she was about to hit him! Iron Body! Boom! ... At the same time, Minos activated all three of his techniques and headed towards the young Tristram. Devouring Art! Indestructible Body! Spatial Sword! Minos' body was immediately strengthened, while a black ring rotated around him, a few meters above the sky. Upon feeling this, Tristram's body was almost entirely frowned upon by Minos' attack technique, making the arrogant young man feel at a dead end. 'Shit! What's happening? Why do I feel so heavy?' He thought as he tried to move. But he could do nothing but move as fast as a turtle. After all, Minos was already at level 37. With his innate ability that increases the energy in his body, he had a spiritual strength equivalent to level 38! Because of this, the Spatial Sword technique was very effective against enemies with so little difference in cultivation, as in the case of young Tristram. He was only at level 39, so he was very vulnerable to all of Minos' techniques! ... When they saw what was happening, all 13 people who were watching the fight from the side in this place began to feel goosebumps of fear. Even the bodyguards were deeply shocked. The power that Minos was exhibiting was too terrifying for anyone on his level. He was almost as strong as a level 44 cultivator! And even if these bodyguards were stronger than Minos, their masters could be killed by that person in just a fraction of a second! That way, if they were careless, even if they managed to escape Minos' partner, they would still receive punishments worse than the death of their families if one of these youths died! As for the eight youngsters at level 39, they were all scared and happy that they hadn't attacked Minos. This may well have saved their lives! 'What a monster! No wonder he was arrogant before. He was giving us a chance not to feel this terror!' The most sensible young man in the group thought to himself. ... At the same time, the mysterious man who was floating over this place frowned firmly and murmured in a low voice. "By the power of these techniques and the spiritual energy of Minos, these are three techniques of Golden-grade!" 'How did he achieve this?' He asked himself in shock. Even the power behind him had only 1 of these treasures, but an ordinary young man like Minos had 3 of its! 'And considering his cultivation speed, it seems that his technique is also of the same degree!' He thought while having a look of disbelief on his face. ... Finally, the young Tristram activated his defense technique with all the spiritual power he had. If he did nothing, it was certain death! Iron Body! Tristram activated the same technique as his bodyguard. At the same time, his skin changed color, from white skin to a silvery metallic appearance. Minos then made a simple gesture with his sword, sending four blades towards Tristram's body. One was pointed at the young man's neck, another at the belly, and the other two at each of the target's arms. He wanted to mow down Tristram's life at once! 'In the next life, don't be too hasty!' Minos thought to himself. It was not worth talking about. The young man in front of him was too terrified to pay attention to in some words... Swooish! Swooish! The noise of the air being cut sounded when Minos' attacks quickly followed towards the young Tristram. Bash! In less than 1 second after Minos' movement, four pieces of meat fell to the place where Tristram was. He hadn't even had time to be in pain when his arms and head were suddenly separated from his body! If anyone paid attention to the eyes of Tristram's severed head, they would see that he had not noticed that this was the end for him. The young man had a terrified look, but since he had not yet received the blow, there was still a glimmer of hope in his mind. But the difference was just too big. Even though he used all of his energy in this defense, he was only about 6% stronger than Minos in spiritual power. What's more, he used a Black-grade defense technique that provided only 70% efficiency! With that, as Minos used a Golden-grade attack, with 200% efficiency, even if he used only half of his spiritual energy, it would still be enough to kill Tristram in a single stroke! But not only that, his grade-2, low-grade sword also amplified Minos' attack power, resulting in this tragic ending for young Tristram. 'Oh my! That arrogant boy didn't even have a chance to realize what had happened!' A young woman thought while she had a hideously pale face. She had thought of attacking Minos before, but after seeing this, she had such a fear in her heart that the only thing she wanted to do at this point was to leave. 'I almost died from a Warrior-grade medicine!' Some of them thought as they slowly moved away from that place. ... In the meantime, young Tristram's bodyguard didn't even have time to worry about his young master's well-being. At this point, he had his chest completely sunk while Ruth smashed his head on the floor! Pow! Ruth gave her last punch when that man's head snapped off like a watermelon, spreading his brains all over the place! Those bodyguards who were in this place once again trembled with fear when they saw this. Each of them was weaker than the man with the crushed head, so they knew that if they were them, then the fight would last even less! 'But what a diabolical duo! Where did these two come from?' One of the guards thought as he slowly walked away from that place beside his young mistress. 'No wonder they could harvest the Warrior-grade medicine!' Some of them thought about it carefully. In fact, these two had the right to do whatever they wanted in this place. There was nothing to stop them from getting what they wanted with their abilities! Seeing that Ruth had finished her fight as well, Minos smiled at her and then looked at the 13 people who had subtly moved away from where they were. He then said politely. "Well, I think these friends are going to leave me with that plant, right?" Upon hearing this, they all had the same thought in their minds. 'As if we have any choice!' After a moment of silence, the sensible young man stepped forward and tried to hide the shock in his voice when he said it. "There is no need for you to say such a thing. Since you managed to harvest the medicine, of course, you are the only one who has the right to own it! We were just watching!" "That's right! We didn't want that person to get medicine, so we were waiting to deal with him! But since you came, we didn't have that chance." Another person said firmly. "The same for me. Now that this has been resolved, I say goodbye!" A young woman said before turning and hurrying out of this place. There was no need to risk irritating that person! Even though it was nice to befriend someone like that, he had just brutally killed someone! That way, they could form contacts at a more peaceful time in the future! "For me too. I hope to see you at the Spiritual Tournament. I am sure you will be the winner." Another young man said before also leaving that area. Seeing this, Minos smiled inwardly while looking at the mass retreat of these competitors from him. 'Hmm, this is better. I don't want to kill so many people for so little...' A few seconds had passed when all 13 people had left this place where the fight had taken place. Minos then looked at Ruth and then went in her direction to go down this place together and continue their journey. However, when they were on their way, an old man suddenly appeared in front of them! This man looked very strange, he looked like an old man, he had white hair and a beard, but his skin was extremely smooth and without any blemishes. It seemed that this person had a minimal amount of toxins in his body, which gave him this good appearance, even at an old age. He was also dressed in a golden robe, and if anyone looked right, he would see that his feet were not touching the floor!
