Lord Of Martial Arts

The group of people moved very slowly. In the distance, they could see the divine palace. Despite it being only a few hundred kilometers away from them, it would take two more hours to reach it at the speed they were moving.

Clatter, clatter, clatter...

All around them, fluctuations started to appear in the space, shocking everyone into silence.

"Shh!" The Rule Soul Avatar turned around and gestured for the others to keep silent.

"Come out, weaklings. Come out and let me kill you. I know you don't want to suffer!"

Henrik teased. His voice echoed around them, penetrating through the layers of space. Darren and the others cringed.

Everyone held their breath and stayed completely still. Even a sneeze could alert Henrik to their whereabouts.

"Come out!"

Boom! Boom!

The space around them rippled as Henrik sent blind attacks against it.

"Ah!"

Aria covered her mouth to cut the scream short. The fluctuations around her were so powerful that she spat out blood and a sharp pain ping-ponged around her body.

A Resurrection Force was quietly applied to everyone's body. They felt better when they were being healed.

Since staying put would pose a risk, the Rule Soul Avatar decided to move forward.

As they walked, the fluctuations in the space b

Rule Soul Avatar. They were so scared that they were on the verge of collapse.

"Come with me,"

the Rule Soul Avatar ordered before he took off flying again.

The group of people followed him and soon arrived at the end of the divine palace.

There was a stone staircase made up of thirty-six thousand stairs in total.

Whoosh!

As they stood at the bottom looking up the steps, the space shook and broke around the divine palace.

With a flash of a red, the figure of a blood skeleton landed thirty feet away from them.

"Run! Keep running!"

Henrik glared at the group of people with his piercing eyes as they scattered.

"Henrik, what are you doing? You can't hurt us in the divine palace."

Darren asked, keeping his expression collected. But in fact, he was having trouble breathing because of the pressure Henrik was releasing.

"I'm not afraid of you. Today, you die."

"Really? Do you have the guts to attack us? Killing is prohibited in the divine palace. Attacking us will ensure your death as well. Kill us. We are only humble people. If you are not afraid of death, just do it," Darren said.

"You're a fool. Do you think I'm scared of your lies? You will regret this. Go to hell!"

Laughing, Henrik raised his bloody claw and attacked Darren.
