"Your master? What about him? Isn't he just an Alchemy Saint? The Lord Sect Master of our Crimson Sun Sect is a genuine top expert at the 9th-rank Saint realm! Lord Sect Master can just squash that whatever Alchemy Saint with just one finger! Hahaha!" Shao Fenhua laughed with contempt, but he was not just randomly boasting either.

The sect master of the Crimson Sun Sect was indeed an expert at the 9th-rank Saint realm and it was common sense for everyone in Nuar that if an alchemist and a cultivator would fight, the alchemist was highly like to lose. Why? Because everyone believed that alchemists were only proficient in soul attacks and they could hardly resist a strong cultivator of similar level. Furthermore, most alchemists use cultivation pills to hasten their cultivation speed, and although doing this could indeed increase the speed of their cultivation, it would also make their foundations less stable compared to a cultivator who reached their level through sheer talent, will, and hardwork.

Theia seethed with profound rage when she heard how Shao Fenhua disparaged her master. The coldness in her eyes became even more chilling, making Shao Fenhua and the other four 7th-rank Emperor realm shiver unconsciously.

"I have to admit that your courage is commendable for having the guts to belittle my master. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If my master was only willing, he could have even conquered this whole world and rule above everyone else! So how dare a trifling 8th-rank Divine realm ant mock such an esteemed person?!" Theia walked slowly towards them, each step carried a profound aura that made the air around her flow turbulently. The sword in her hand was still dripping with blood, making her look like an angel of death.

Shao Fenhua and the others were stunned at her words, but before they could laugh at her, they suddenly felt her aura skyrocketing at an unimaginable speed.

5th-rank Spirit realm

6th-rank King realm

...

The initial stage of the 9th-rank Saint realm!

Shao Fenhua finally became horrified after sensing her true strength.

So that was why she was able to reap everyone's lives as easily as swatting flies. Shao Fenhua and the others thought to themselves as they took several steps backward. They didn't want to face the wrathful strike of such an expert at all!

"Run! We will only die here if we stubbornly remain!"

"Shit! There was an error in the intel! Run!"

Two experts at the 7th-rank Emperor realm instantly sprinted away after sensing Theia's cultivation level. Heck! They will only at the latter's mercy if they chose to stay.

Theia sneered and produced two sword lights aiming for the two fleeing experts.

Pu.

Pu.

The two experts halted in their tracks and felt their visions becoming blurry, but before they could even realize what had happened, they already slumped on the ground with their eyes wide open. Even in their deaths, they still wore a perplexed look, not even knowing how they had died!

Shao Fenhua and the remaining two experts watched the scene in horror. They had seen a ray of light streaking towards the two experts, and in the blink of an eye, a bloody hole can be seen on their chests. Everything happened in merely a few seconds, but two top experts already died without even having the chance to fight back! Such an absurd scene made those had seen it shiver in dread.

Shao Fenhua finally realized that the blonde beauty in front of him was actually an expert that was on the same level as their sect master, but it was already too late for him to amend for his mistakes. He had already insulted Theia's master which was equivalent to touching the dragon's reverse scale!

"Lord, we're blind and failed to recognize your esteemed self! We beg for your mercy!"

"Don't kill us, esteemed lord! I still have a family waiting at home!"

The two remaining 7th-rank Emperor realm experts behind Shao Fenhua dropped to their knees and begged for mercy. They slammed their heads on the ground, putting on a show for Theia that they had regretted their actions. Their foreheads bled profusely but the two didn't stop from kowtowing.

"You spineless cowards! No matter how you beg for mercy, she will still kill you! I'd rather die fighting than beg for mercy! The men from the Crimson Sun Sect never yield!" Although Shao Fenhua was already enveloped by fear, he stood tall and proud with no intentions of backing down!

He would have looked cool if not for his shivering knees...

Theia praised him internally for his bravery, but he will still die for insulting her master. She then glanced disdainfully at the two experts who were groveling on the ground like dogs.

"I hate cowards the most." Theia muttered as she brandished her sword at an incomprehensible speed.

Pu.

Pu.

Shao Fenhua didn't even see Theia's movements, but then, he felt a dreadful warmness in his feet. He unconsciously took a glance on the ground and saw the decapitated and bloody heads of the two experts who were begging for forgiveness just a few moments ago.

A pool of blood dyed the ground red, making Shao Fenhua's heart pound even more erratically. He saw a vague outline of his reflection on the bloody pool which almost made his knees buckle in trepidation.

He raised his head with great difficulty and turned his horrified glance at Theia's peerless visage. It was so hard to believe that such an ethereal and otherworldly beauty didn't even frown after killing a number of experts. Her face remained impassive as if she was merely killing a bunch of ants.

Shao Fenhua dryly laughed and muttered in his heart. "Lord Sect Master, why did you have to provoke such an individual? The person that this woman refers to as her master... just what kind of person is he?"

Theia glanced at him coldly and was about to take his life when she heard Jiu Shen's telepathic message.

"I can sense the aura of that old brat Duanmu and another person at the peak stage of the 8th-rank Divine realm. That man should be the emperor of the Silver Wing Empire. Allow them to end things here and tell everyone to come back."

Although Theia very much wanted to take Shao Fenhua's life personally, she didn't dare disobey Jiu Shen's orders. "I obey your command, master."

She then took one last look at Shao Fenhua before she turned around and called Lu Sulan and the others back.
