Chapter 201 A Real Man in the World Must Pick up a Sword to Fight (1)
There were some slightly shorter peaks next to the mountain where the Spiritual Cave was. Now, half an hour later, the senior elder of the Dragon Kingdom and the president of the Spiritual Cave were fighting on one of the peaks in the east. At the moment, the senior elder was ashen, blood oozing out of his mouth. His black robes were badly damaged, shreds of cloth dancing with the wind. In his hand, the black fine steel long sword was dripping with blood.
The senior elder was seriously wounded, but he was calm, looking at the old president coldly.
Astonished, the president looked down at his belly in so much disbelief, where there was a three- centimeter-long body-penetrating cut. Now, most parts of his clothes were red with blood. Yes, the senior elder had just borne his palm attack and seriously wounded him.
Looking at Shelton in disbelief, the president said, "Impossible. You're obviously just at the third stage of the King level! Even if the fate of the Dragon Kingdom gives you strength, you can't be my equal or be stronger! That is impossible!"
Indeed, the president's realm was higher than the senior elder's. He had reached the fifth stage of the King level, two stages higher than the senior elder. He was basically a powerhouse at the middle stage of the King level, while the senior elder was just at the peak of the early stage of the King level. Yet, the senior elder could get strength from the fate of the Dragon Kingdom, but he couldn't get anything from anywhere.
The senior elder sneered. He had just borne the palm attack that the president at the fifth stage of the King level launched with all his might. Now he was also seriously wounded, so he knew he could not kill the old jerk today. After all, he was not at his peak stage. If he fought such a strong practitioner with all his strength, the practitioner would probably be able to kill him before he died.
He was not afraid of death, but he could not die now. The difficulty on the External Battlefield was not over yet. If he died, he would cause an extremely bad impact.
"Alas..." the senior elder sighed deeply, feeling somewhat helpless. He still couldn't kill the biggest borer of the Dragon Kingdom in front of him.
The president was ashen. After being silent for a while, he fixed his eyes on the senior elder and seriously said, "Shelton, you reached your limit just now, right? Can you kill me? Or you want to die with me today? If you think that's fine, let's die together today. The Dragon Kingdom will be in complete disorder!"
The senior elder fell silent. He stopped talking, but glanced at the ground where the second elder was fighting. Then he had a more complicated look in his eyes, feeling more helpless.
At the moment on another peak, when he saw the senior elder looking in this direction, the second elder Judy took a deep sigh, feeling so helpless. Yes, he did feel helpless. After all, these secluded sects had a long history and a lot of accumulated strength.
He was fighting against six people. One was about to be a King-level powerhouse, and the other five were at the peak stage of the Emperor level. Although he fought with all his might and had seriously wounded the vice president and three Emperor-level practitioners, it was not enough. He was also seriously wounded, and his condition was more terrible than the senior elder's. Now he had seven or eight cuts, blood running out of them.
Then came four teachers, who were at the peak stage of the Emperor level, and a young person in white with a long sword, who was at the last stage of the Emperor level. As soon as they came, they surrounded the second elder as their sect members had done.
This showed that the Spiritual Cave had hidden a lot of its strength, and that it had accumulated so much power over the academy's long history. Dripping with blood, the second elder was silent. Even
if he used up his strength, he could at most kill five or six of them and die on the spot.
The young person who had come here had an extremely arrogant look in his eyes. He said to the second elder quite confidently, "You're Judy Lopez, the second elder of the Dragon Kingdom? You're very strong, and so is the senior elder Shelton Hayes. Both of you can seriously wound our presidents, but you don't have much strength left. If you want to fight, you're bound to lose!"
The second elder's frown deepened. He looked at the young person deeply and asked, "It is said that there is a genius in this generation of the Spiritual Cave. Less than 30, the person has reached the peak of the last stage of the Emperor level, and his fighting power is even as strong as one at the peak stage of the Emperor level. I guess the person is you, right?"
The young powerhouse of the Spiritual Cave smiled faintly and said, "You're right. If no one else in their 20s in the Spiritual Cave is at the last stage of the Emperor level, then the person is me. Second Elder, let me introduce myself. I am Holden Moore, the eldest brother of this generation of the Spiritual Cave. Please leave, Second Elder. You're just two people. You can't win. If we two parties launch an all-out war, the civilians across the country will suffer." The young man talked calmly, not taking the second elder, one who had reached the first stage of the King level, seriously at all.
After all, he was indeed the strongest one of this generation of all the secluded sects of the Spiritual Cave. He had been acclaimed as the reviving leader of the secluded sects a long time ago. And he was absolutely sure he could rise to the King level in two or three years. In the future, he would work to reach higher levels.
"Hahaha... hahaha..." the second elder laughed scornfully when he heard that. Then he pointed his sword at Holden and said, "With your strength? Who do you think you are? You're just a child who hasn't reached the King level, so you're not qualified enough to talk to me! Who gave you the
courage, eh? Do you really think I can't kill you because you have those rubbish creatures around you?"
After the second elder finished that, the vice president and three teachers of the Spiritual Cave immediately stood before him to protect him. No matter what, the second elder of the Dragon Kingdom was a real King-level practitioner! If he went crazy to hunt Holden, Holden would be killed!
The vice president fixed his eyes on the second elder and said, "Judy Lopez, think hard! If you dare to kill Holden, we won't stop fighting until you die! Now we all still have room to maneuver!"
"Hahaha..." the second elder laughed madly again. Then he said with disdain, "Hah... room to maneuver? Do you believe it yourself? With the Dragon Kingdom getting more and more flourishing, we two parties have long lost the room to maneuver. You can choose to enter the earthly world and join the Dragon Kingdom! Of course, we won't disgrace you people's status. We'll give you super high authority, and we can even make some of you elders. But... you won't take that path, will you?"
The vice president's face was so dark. Indeed, they were already used to being in a high position. They viewed the civilians across the country as tiny ants, but they were now asked to go out and risk their necks for them? Why?
Looking at the second elder with a very dark face, the vice president said, "Judy, your words are too nice to believe. Black and white are both colors of the world! We admit that the people of the Dragon Kingdom were unified when your country was founded. But what about now? A mess! The mundane humans would rather adore the stars whose genders don't even look so clear than visit the tombs of the soldiers who died on the front line. Do such ants deserve our protection?"
The vice president snorted and stared at Judy. "Judy, you people are already King-level powerhouses. Why do you have to do that then? Is it worth it? We're at peace with the world, but why have you always been trying to force us like this?"
"Bullshit!" the second elder cursed in rage. Then he roared angrily, "You're at peace with the world? You steal large amounts of resources every day, but you say you're at peace with the world without feeling ashamed, eh? Can you close the gate of your academy and stop bringing in anything from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"You...! Humph, we hold different convictions, and we can't get along," the vice president snorted, not wishing to talk anymore.
Behind him, Holden, the eldest brother of this generation of the Spiritual Cave, looked at the second elder deeply and said, "Second Elder, you... just said I'm not qualified enough, eh? But I want to ask why I'm not qualified enough? Is there anyone who is stronger than me in the younger generation of the Dragon Kingdom or the world?"
"Hah... stronger than you? No. When facing a real unmatched genius, you won't even have the qualification to compare with him. Humph, you're one with a very limited outlook! Idiot!" the second elder shouted with strong disdain.
True, Holden was nothing compared with Iwan, the Lord of the Heaven Domain!
"You!" Holden instantly went furious. He was about to say something, but the vice president of the Spiritual Cave stopped him and ordered him to step back. Then, he asked two teachers at the peak stage of the Emperor level to walk him back.
Seeing that, the second elder showed stronger ridicule in his eyes. Could one brought up with special care be called a genius? Compared with that child, this one was not worth a penny.
Now he looked in the direction where the senior elder was. Whether to continue fighting or not today, the senior elder had the final say. They could fearlessly fight and then destroy the Spiritual Cave with thermal weapons, or they could choose to leave. In a word, the choice was in the senior elder's hands.
Yes, the Dragon Kingdom could annihilate the Spiritual Cave today, but the price was too high. The two of them would be unable to leave here. This was why the academy was afraid of them. Of course, they were also afraid of some things from these sects. The reason was simple: If they could not annihilate them at a time, then the Dragon Kingdom would be in chaos immediately. If that happened, the Dragon Kingdom, which had to deal with both domestic and external problems, would probably have to face the scene it had gone through 100 years ago.
...
Then the pale-faced senior elder came to the second elder. He glanced at him worriedly and said, "How's your injury? Is it serious?"
The second elder shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. It's serious, but I can kill a few people even if I die."
The senior elder took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
After being silent for a long while, the second elder nodded weakly. They both knew that they could not destroy these sects today. The accumulated strength of the Dragon Kingdom was too little, and the nation also had to deal with foreign enemies. That was why they always could not focus their strength on one thing.
"Okay." The senior elder nodded and left with the second elder. Now it was unnecessary to continue the fight. The two presidents, also the best fighters of the Spiritual Cave, had been seriously wounded. Thus, they could not go down the mountain and walk around in the near future. If they dared to go out alone, the senior elder would find a chance to kill them.
The two elders left, but the whole Spiritual Cave fell silent. Did they win? That was not true. The two elders of the Dragon Kingdom had left, but they themselves were suffering heavy losses. The old
president had been stabbed by the senior elder with a saber, seriously wounded; the vice president and those teachers were also seriously wounded with saber cuts.
Now the hundreds of people in the academy watched the two elders leave with extremely grave expressions. The two elders in blood were walking down the mountain slowly. Actually, some of the students here were shocked for the first time, and they began to doubt for the first time if what they upheld was right.
What they read all along was negative news about the Dragon Kingdom. They didn't think those people were worth their protection. But today, the two most powerful seniors in the Dragon Kingdom, who were in their 70s and at the King level, came over to fight them fearlessly for those people!
"Why did this happen? Is it worth it?" At the moment, a small number of students in the Spiritual Cave had some mixed feelings as they watched the two seriously wounded elders leave.

At the same moment, in one of the depths of a mountain in the west of the Dragon Kingdom, in the arena 1,000 meters in diameter of the Sky Sect, Carl and the third elder were also dripping with blood. The saber in Carl's hand was now only a half, blood running down its blade. He was ashen, but the hostility on him was quite strong. And he and the third elder both had a strong iron will.
Standing facing them were the Lord and Deputy Lord of the Sky Sect-a King-level powerhouse and a half-the-King-level powerhouse. Clearly, they were more seriously wounded.
The Lord of the Sky Sect was now very weak. He shouted at the third elder, "Lewis King, are you f*cking crazy? We're at peace with each other, but you guys suddenly intruded on our territory, eh? Without explaining anything, you came straight to fight to kill! Are you elders of the Dragon Kingdom all out of your minds?"
The Lord of the Sky Sect was really angry. He didn't know anything at all. He had no idea about what had happened outside their territory. When the third elder arrived, he was in seclusion to cultivate himself. Then, the secret chamber where he stayed was cut open by the third elder with his sword, and he suffered greatly. When he came out, the third elder and Carl came over to kill him. Unprepared, he was seriously wounded in an instant. That was why his condition was more serious than the third elder's.
After all, the Lord of the Sky Sect and the third elder were at the same level-the first stage of the King level. Therefore, although the Lord was now seriously wounded, the third and Carl could not kill him on the turf of the Sky Sect.
"Alas... sure enough, we still can't do it..." The third elder heaved a deep sigh. In fact, the top four elders of the Dragon Kingdom had long wished to deal with the two "vampires" who had been sucking the blood of the Dragon Kingdom over the years, but they had been weak. They could only contain or slightly suppress them, but could not annihilate them.
"Carl, the senior and second elders have withdrawn. Let's also leave, okay?" the third elder sighed and said to Carl.
Carl was deathly pale, blood running out of the corner of his mouth. He was also very seriously wounded. The third elder dueled with the Lord of the Sky Sect, and he fought against the Deputy Lord and a few elders. It was useless because they had to face so many strong fighters.
Carl heaved a sigh and said, "Okay, let's go, brother."
The third elder and Carl put away their sabers and walked outside. When they left, they didn't even notify the people of the Sky Sect.
Seeing the backs of the third elder and Carl, the Lord of the Sky Sect was baffled and sullen. The two crazy old men broke into their sect without reason, fought them, and simply left, eh?
"Hey, Lewis King, Carl Addison, do you think the Sky Sect is a place where you can come and go at will?" The Lord of the Sky Sect, a powerhouse at the first stage of the King level, was really angry at the moment.
But the third elder and Carl kept moving on without caring about him after he said that.
"Uh..." The Lord of the Sky Sect was dazed in the autumn wind.
To chase after them? He didn't really dare. After all, their Sky Sect was different from the Spiritual Cave-they were slightly weaker. To some extent, they had no courage to immediately turn hostile to the Dragon Kingdom. Instead, they had to know the attitude of the Spiritual Cave first.
Then, a Protector of the Sky Sect ran over to the Lord and said, "My lord, something happened. An hour ago, Rendon Scott took his troops to the Roxanne family house, and the Yount family has been slaughtered. The general directors of the three departments of the Dragon Kingdom also showed up and took away dozens of Gods of War and Super Gods of the other six families. Apart from the slaughtered Yount family, the Roxanne family is suffering the most. Almost 90% of their men have been taken away."
The Lord frowned deeply and asked, "To where?"
The Protector answered, "The External Battlefield. The notorious Z8 Alliance that targeted the Dragon Kingdom a century ago was rebuilt. Now the Dragon Kingdom was sending men to those places. The people of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom are not enough, so they attacked the top nine noble families."
"The External Battlefield? ..." Mason Gonzalez, the Lord of the Sky Sect, knitted his brows more tightly. Then he looked at the backs of the third elder and Carl deeply and fell silent.
After being silent for a long time, he mumbled, "This dynasty is somewhat different from the previous ones. These people feel different, but is it worth it? Is it really worth it? ... So many of their men have died in the External Regions these years. Is it worth it? ..."
When Mason finished speaking, the brilliant fighters of the Sky Sect all fell silent. Those of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom who currently advocated fighting were their deadly enemies, never their friends. If they had a chance, they sincerely wanted the Dragon Kingdom to get a group of leaders who were beneficial to all parties including them. And those elders of the Dragon Kingdom would make all out to kill them if there was a chance. This was not personal enmity, but a fight for the prosperity of the nation. Over the dynasties, the struggle between the orthodox government and the sects was always hard to defuse. The two parties would hold suspicions against each other.
This day, some of the Sky Sect, especially some of the younger generation, felt the same thing as some of the Spiritual Cave had felt. Was what they had always upheld wrong?
"War hasn't been spread to the country, but the elderlies and soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom go to the External Regions to die one after another. What do they fight for? They never explain it. They just overcome difficulties, move on, and wind up being buried in foreign lands."
...
After Rendon surrounded the Roxanne family house rashly with 8,000 elite soldiers, many things began to happen. The long-retired directors of the three departments of the Dragon Kingdom, all in their 70s, put on their military uniforms again, heading for the External Regions.
The top four elders of the Dragon Kingdom had been to the two most powerful sects with their sabers. They knew they could not destroy them, but they had seriously wounded them. Then the two sects wouldn't dare to make any moves in the days to come. Indeed, before they went, the four elders already knew the results of their visits, but they came all the same.
The reason was simple: The hot blood of the younger general could not cool down. As for showing restraint, they elderlies alone were enough to do it. But they must give the younger generation hope.
