Lord Of Martial Arts

After he massacred a dozen guards, thousands of low-level fiends began to appear behind the terrifying first fiend ancestor.

Although they were of low-level status, the fiends were far from weak. Every individual fiend was more powerful than any of the guards.

"Slaughter," ordered the first fiend ancestor menacingly.

The low-level fiends pounced at the given order. They rushed into battle, bloodlust smeared on their faces.

"Ancestor, shall we collect souls as well?" asked a low-level fiend in a unique language.

The first fiend ancestor glared coldly in reply. The low-level fiend who dared speak twisted from extreme pain and let out an anguished cry before turning into a puddle.

There was no patience for stupid questions for the first fiend ancestor. The other low-level fiends who witnessed this trembled with fear and immediately understood what to do. Human souls were naturally very useful to their ancestor so it was obvious that they needed to be collected.

They simultaneously flew into the air, causing a wave of darkness as they blotted out the sky and the sun. Several panicked screams and cries burst from the city as they were engulfed in the darkness.

"I come with a report!"

A guard burst through the doors of a great hall, staggering to the ground as he trembled from what he needed to inform them about.

"Terrible news! The Deer City has been overrun with fiends. Hundreds of thousands of casualties have been reported."

"What?"

gasped the four greatest holy warriors. The shock in their voices gave away a sense of panic.

Just moments before, they had gone to patrol the city in the east. It was out of their calculations for the Deer City down south to be attacked.

That was hundreds of thousands of civilians, most of which were some of the greatest minds and warriors of the human race!

Gulping down their mourning, the four greatest holy warriors summoned seventeen Governors and hurried to the Deer City. There was no time for remorse. They had to face the fiends quickly to protect the other cities.

Their arrival was met with desecration. The Deer City was in chaos. The buildings had collapsed, and the air was putrid from rot and blood. The smell of death was all over.

The streets were painted with blood as severed arms and legs were strewn around the city. It was a bloodbath.

The Governor of the Deer City fell to his knees as he cried in anguish.

His wife and children were all residing in the city.

"I'll kill them! I'll kill them all!" he cried.

His eyes were scarlet with pain and rage as he started throwing random attacks into the air.

"Where are the fiends?" asked Francis with a downcast look.

"Sir, they seem to have retreated."

Several strong cultivators who had witnessed the massacre from the sidelines reported that after the fiends had killed everyone in the city, they retreated like a massive tide.

"No! This cannot be!" The faces of the four greatest holy warriors turned pale. The fiends' retreat could only have meant one thing.

"They must've gone off to another city to

ough. Darren hadn't even completed a tenth of the array.

'I have to go out and have a look, ' he thought nervously.

Darren couldn't wait to get out of the secret chamber. He swiftly flew off to see what was going on in the city.

Upon his arrival, Darren's heart dropped. He couldn't believe his eyes. The situation was worse than he had imagined.

The whole sky was covered with dark clouds and the city was utterly destroyed. Piercing screams and cries could be heard from all around him. The miasma of death hung in the air.

Ten kilometers away from the city, there was what looked like a huge wave of black creatures.

A few seconds later, several hundred humans could be seen flying into the air. At the forefront were the four greatest holy warriors.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"Those bastards have slaughtered two cities, and we must kill them all! We must avenge all who have fallen by their filthy hands!"

In the past few days, the four greatest holy warriors and the Governors had vigilantly guarded the cities. The fiends, perhaps anticipating them earlier, seemed to have deliberately avoided them and only attacked locations where they could not gather quickly.

The fiends quickly destroyed another city and slaughtered all its residents—along with the city's Governor—and hastily retreated.

At this discovery, the four greatest warriors decided to lead the warriors and lay ambush on one of the cities. They were lucky to run into the fiends just as they were en route to their next victim—the Holy City.

"Kill!"

Darren did not hesitate and went in for a kill in the blink of an eye.

Fiends exploded into blood and guts as he passed them.

Darren gave the fiends no time to think as he attacked them one by one while showers of blood spurted in his wake. In mere minutes, he had already killed thousands of fiends.

"Look who it is! I see you've finally made an appearance,"

cackled a blood-red figure in the distance. At the sight of Darren, he made a wicked smile as he stood under the gloom of the gray sky.
