"The Nura Clan Founder, So you are the one who has led the destruction of Silver Dragon Mercenary Group."

With a sharp glint in his eyes, Xiao Juetian glares at the newcomer.

A huge commotion stirred in the crowds.

"So that's the Founder of Nura Clan so young." A beautiful girl looked at Hannya while blurting out her thoughts.

"Could he possibly Rihan's brother they resembles each other."

"I think so too, they're both so cool." A young maiden blushed.

"Well, well. You did a good job in doing your homework" Nurarihyon replied with a smile.

With a sneer Xiao Juetian replied: "I see. You might be feeling full of yourself after crushing that group of mercenary, but I shall let you know. In that group of weaklings, there hasn't been a single that has reached the sky profound realm. In other words, you bully the weak while fears the strong."

"Isn't that a fitting phrase which perfectly defines you?" Hannya refuted.

"Hmmph, Ignorant fool!"Juetian scoffed. Circulating their clan's Heavenly Eagle art, he gained a large boost in speed then he flies towards Nurarihyon in a flash.

However.

Hannya's figure disappeared, causing Juetian's thrust to pierce through empty air. With the help of the skills and experience he got from Byakuya he was able to use Senka (Flash Blossom).

"Wha-...?!"

Immediately afterwards, Hannya is standing behind him. In a mere moment, he felt a pressure from behind.

As if the time stopped, Juetian held his sword still, and even stops breathing, circulating his profound arts but it was dispelled by something rendering him unable to resist. Cold sweat slid in his back.

He couldn't move.

Indeed, Hannya is only standing back to back with Juetian. With his arms crossed, and a casual expression.

"Why aren't you moving? Could it be you.... feared the strong?"

Juetian's face distorts with the burning humiliation. This guy just slapped him in tha face using his own words. He felt like he was being toyed around.

He Immediately, he turns round with an extremely fast vertical attack.

But there is no longer anyone there.

"Imposs-...?!"

The rustle of Robes fluttered, he reflexively jerked his head.

He saw that Hannya is now standing in his original position, looking as if nothing had happened.

The onlookers and even Chu Yueli, could not catch what had happened. If there was no trickery or machination involved, then that would mean this man is someone of quite some skill…... no, one could even call him a deviance.

Xiao Juetian tried to calm down his shaken heart.

"It seems that I had underestimated you a bit." Xiao Juetian now realized that this man is no pushover. Aside from lack of aura he is completely a powerhouse.

"I shall show you. The strength of Xiao Sect." Xiao Juetian circulated his profound skill and used one of their Xiao Sect skill: "Heavenly Eagle Limitless strike!"

The white flash of light cleaves the air, slowly forming into a silhoutte of an eagle flying straight towards Hannya's neck.

The eagle went past Hannya's body without any resistance. Xiao Juetian smiled with a face of a victor but suddenly froze....

He saw Hannya looking at him while floating in the sky.

Profound Floating Technique... So this guy is actually a Sky Profound Realm expert.

Such a young powerhouse, such talent.. He needs to kill him now or he'll be an enormous threat to Xiao Sect.

"Come here, otherwise our fight would destroy the place."

Xiao Juetian obliged, like a shooting star he flew towards Nurarihyon.. with Extreme Wind Slash he attacked.

Hannya responded: "Scatter, Senbonzakura" his sword blade disintegrated into multiple particles of Sakura Petals. He swung the sword handle and met the sharp wind blades.

Bang…

When the Extreme Wind Slash collided with Senonzakura, the tremendous energy ripples swept across the entire place, it even covered the heavens above, blocking the moon from sight. The violent energy waves swept across the sky, and the powerful shockwaves caused everyone's hearts to tremble, as if a dark shadow had been cast above their souls.

"They are so strong, amazingly strong! So this is how Sky Profound Realm Experts fight!"

"Who would have thought that a fight like this would happen in our Floating Cloud City"

No one could resist the shock that struck their minds. This was an ultimate fight between Sky Profound Realm Experts; none could remain calm any longer.

Rihan retracted his eyes from the fight and noticed that Xiao Kuangyun together with Xiao Yulong were running away secretly.

He casually waved two tree branch from his sleeves.

"Whoosh!"

Bending the tree branch Rihan threw it with minimal force yet it looked as if it was alive, and flew from his hands. Flying at incredible speeds towards escaping Xiao Yulong and Xiao Kuangyun the tree branches were enveloped by a faint dark smoke. A strong yet acute amount of "fear" was emitted from the tree branch, making it look like a spear of baleful reaper.

In a flash the branch had already reached Xiao Yulong and Xiao Kuangyun.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

A blood curling sound echoed in the entire Xiao Clan Headquarters.

Before Xiao Kuangyun's body fell to the ground Rihan appeared in front of him, the pressure that followed seemed to envelop him like a storm. Under this pressure, Xiao Kuangyun began to suffocate while his pupils lost focus. He was powerless in front of Rihan and could not bear the frontal brunt of his pressure.

Rihan just disregarded Xiao Yulong who was combulsing on the ground with white foam formed in his mouth, unfocused eyes, and his soul seems to have been devoured, with only a few minutes left, it was clear that he would not live.

Rihan put his hand out and grabbed Xiao Kuangyun's neck before flying upwards, like an eagle catching it's prey. He returned to the platform and continued observing the fight.

A few people noticed the event that happened. They were stunned, could it be that he was just playing around earlier?

"Unbelievable, to think that he easily subdued Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Yulong easily.. so he was only holding back earlier?"

"Damn, just where did this monsters came from?!"

"If this guy was holding back then could it be.."

A unbelievable thought entered in their minds but they just shook it off.. that can't be true.

But reality slapped them hard..

Hannya who was observing the happenings below while fighting Juetian smiled: "It seems like it's time to close the curtains."

"I've had enough. I would like you to leave the stage."

Xiao Juetian was stunned. His face turned red from anger: "You dare to look down on me?!"

But he was ignored..

"You're a terrible actor." Hannya continued: "You just debuted but you're way too arrogant."

He retracted Senbonzakura and dropped it in the air, as if there was a water in the sky the space rippled. The entire sky was devoured by darkness. two rows of a thousand giant blades rise up from the ground.

"Bankai"

The two rows of thousand blades disintegrated into Sakura petals scattered in the air.

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms)"

The scattered petals united into complete glowing swords numbering in the thousands, which form four rows. These rows float just above each other, and circle around Hannya and Xiao Juetian in a continuously moving, column-like array.

It looks extremely beautiful yet every part of his being is sending him alarm signals.

Xiao Juetian eyes turned into slits..
