The whole arena was in a mess!
Fredrick was besieged by many masters. Those that Katz brought from Medicine Valley also hounded people from the Dunn family.
In the Lenoir family's area, once Eren and Leylin took action, the masters of the Lenoir family also sprinted up and attacked the Dunn family members.
In a short moment, the arena broke out into a war.
Leylin eyes flashed with a bloody tint with a savage smile at the corner of his lips, "Embroil, ravage and erupt.. Let the Bloodline Emperor celebrate the festival of slaughter.. and on top of your corpse mount his new throne. Kill!!!!!"
None of the warriors who came to watch the Martial Competition expected the event to go down this way.
When the big fight erupted, many furious powers vented out their enmity and ruthlessly attacked their enemies, embroiling many innocents. Because of this, in just few minutes, a number of warriors were sent to their death.
The bystanders could no longer sit still.
Seeing the two families slaughtering each other, very few people decided to stay and continue watching. They all hurriedly retreated from the God Stone Square, afraid that they might become a target in the slaughterhouse.
The retreat of the bystanders was very swift. Now the only people present in the God Stone Square were those from the five big families.
The Crystal family was merely the observers. In the absence of Elrod Crystal, the Crystal family decided to only be a spectator, not aiding either of the families.
Kyle Crystal stood in silence in the Crystal family's tower. He was closely watching the besieged Fredrick Dunn, and occasionally gazed at the Dunn family members who were attacked by the Lenoir family.
"Young master, what should we do? Keep watching?"
Kyle's eyes flashed coldly as he spoke, "Mmmhmm, we don't need to entangle ourselves in this dog fight. Let them chase among themselves; whatever the outcome, it wouldn't affect us in the least. We will directly curb the one who loses in the end and take away their inheritance. With our influence in the Merchant Union, we will be the prime benefactors."
"You are wise, Young Master. But, should we stay?"
"There's no need." Kyle suddenly smiled, "Let's go back, staying and doing nothing wouldn't be that great after all. We're not joining the fight anyway, so let's go back and arrange things a little. Let's go."
Upon hearing that, all the masters from the Crystal family nodded in unison. Led by him they all retreated from the God Stone Square.
Now, in the arena, only four families remained: Ashdown, Delaney, Dunn and Lenoir. The Lenoir and Dunn families were fighting, while the Ashdown and Delaney families were merely the spectators.
Unknowingly, Kenneth Lenoir (Eren's son) arrived at where the Ashdown family was. He bowed to Ian Ashdownand said, "Uncle Ian, I hope you could please keep an eye on the Delaney family during this fight."
Ian casually replied while sipping his tea, "Don't worry, the Ashdown and Delaney families always had feud between us. If the Delaney family dares to make a move, we won't be sit still either. Rest assured and do whatever your Lenoir family wants. The Delaney's won't be problem for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Ian. "
"It's nothing, whether it be business or personal affairs, both of our families have always been allies; of course we would take some pressure for you." Ian nonchalantly said. He gazed at where the Lenoir family was assembled, and asked in confusion, "Where's Berkan? Why haven't I seen him?"
Kenneth was surprised and also looked around, realizing that there truly was no sign of Leylin. He shook his head and gave a wry smile, "That kid was just there, now who knows where he's gone."
"Watch him! The brat is very good, his talent is impeccable, his demeanor and sense of situation are both befitting of a future master. He's gonna be the future hope of your Lenoir family, and most definitely take it to greater heights. You can't afford to lose him." Ian said seriously.
"Haha, Uncle Paul is keeping an eye on him, no need to worry, Uncle Ian."
"Hmm, alright then." Ian smiled, and while glancing at Neelam next to him, his smile looked a little strange, "Berkan is deceptively talented in fighting, he and Neelam should have a friendly spar and learn from each other. Tell him to visit our family again, he didn't came since he ransacked my family library."
Kenneth's expression bloomed, and he nodded: "I'll be going then, Uncle Ian."
When Kenneth was gone, Neelams face flashed in confusion, and she said, "Grandpa, why should I spar with him, I have so many people to help me out and although he's very strong, probably more than me, he's still nowhere near the level of top masters in our family. I don't think I have anything to learn from him, he didn't use any technique. His fighting style revolves around sheer strength which is no use to me."
"Haha, He's not as simple as he may seem." Ian seemed like he was in a good mood, refusing to elaborate and he told the Ashdown family members, "We will stay here for now and watch the Delaney family for the Lenoir's. If the Delaney family dares to get involved, we don't need to act kindly to them either. Hehe, after today, the situation in the Merchant Union is really going to turn upside down. We can't let the them take any benefits."
At the Delaney family's side, the head of the family, Wadley Delaney, frowned silently.
The masters of the Delaney family were all standing behind him. Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, these people were all on guard, as if silently waiting for his decision.
At the Dunn family's place, all their members were surrounded by the people from Medicine Valley and the Lenoir family. Their situation was turning from bad to worse.
Suddenly, Cage Dunn broke through and quickly rushed to Wadley Delaney's side; kneeling down on one knee he spoke in panic, "Uncle, please let the Delaney family step in! My father is besieged by many masters, he might not last long. We are also being chased by people from Medicine Valley and the Lenoir family, it's getting harder and harder to hold up. Uncle, for old time's sake, please help our family, the entire Dunn family will always remember your favor."
Wadley Delaney furrowed his brows and lightly sighed. He said in frustration, "Cage, it's not that I don't want to help, but the Ashdown family hasn't made a move yet. Once our family gives aid, the Ashdown family will immediately spring up. The reason why I haven't done anything yet is because I'm watching the them for you guys."
"But if this continues, the Dunn family might not be able to withstand it any longer!" Cage said in fear.
"If the Delaney family cuts in now, it would force the Ashdown family to get involved too; it would be useless." Wadley shook his head.
He hesitated for a moment and then shouted: "Rodey! Bring some people and bring Mary back here. Mary is your future wife, she can't die!"
"Yes!" Rodey Delaney called out and fiercely sprinted out, accompanied by some of the warriors from the Delaney family.
"Cage, Mary is your daughter, and the daughter-in-law of the Delaney family. I will protect her for you. As for the rest, sigh, I really can't help. I can only promise you that I will make sure the Ashdown family won't step in to go against the Dunn family, this is all I can do." Wadley Delaney said in frustration.
Cage was in a daze. He deeply gazed at Wadley and after quite a while finally turned away in grief, silently returning to the Dunn family's battle.
"Big brother…" Zali Delaney whispered hesitantly. He said, "If we don't help, the Dunn family will definitely lose heavily this time. Fredrick Dunn might develop a hatred for us."
Wadley's expression was calm as he sat there and lightly took a sip of tea. He lowered his head and said, "Younger brother, at this time, we cannot be reckless. Ian Ashdown won't easily let us join the fight. Besides, the Misty Pavilion has a Sky Realm master. She is going against the Dunn family, if our family steps in, we won't get anything good out of this. Also, this is an opportunity, look at the battlefield all of the successor are about to die. Mary will be the hope of the third generation of the Dunn family. If she becomes our family's daughter-in-law, our family can openly take the Dunn family's properties when they get in a dangerous situation. And if one day she becomes the head of the Dunn family, with her status as the daughter in law of the Delaney family, hehe…"
"Good scheming, big brother." Zali was stunned for a while, then he finally nodded, "I was thoughtless, big brother. You are one that strongly considers the future."
"Yes, we only need to protect Mary, the rest we don't need to care about." Wadley raised his head, and squinted towards the fight in mid air, saying, "When she gets here, we can go back. This time the odds are against Fredrick." He sighed, "Who would've known that the Misty Pavilion hid a Sky Realm master, Brother Fredrick, it's not that I don't care about our friendship, just that you're truly in back luck."
..
Soon Rodney brought Mary and knocked her unconscious as the Delaney's decided to leave the chaotic environment.
In the arena, the Delaney and Ashdown families had been sitting still as mountains. However, at this crucial moment, as if they did not see the chaos inside the arena, the two heads of the families walked side by side, and with their subordinates behind them, headed straight out of the God Stone Square.
Those remaining in the God Stone Square were only the onlookers who thought that they were strong enough to bear the aftershocks of the battle, the Dunn family, the Lenoir family and the people from the Medicine Valley.
Leylin was roaming the God Stone Square leisurely, although he wasn't using his Dark Lighting Armor form, his speed was still extremely fast not even a Disaster Realm can capture his moments without focusing. Leylin had his hands behind his back and looked like a teenager taking around an evening stroll.
Wherever there was a body, he would appear there. His presence would cause the body to completely dry up and become devoid of any Profound Qi in mere seconds.
Because of the devastating battle, many nearby warriors felt the brunt of it.
Those warriors of Elementary and Nascent realms were the most affected, for they couldn't block the aftershocks from the battle between the Nirvana Realm warriors. Once they became entangled in their battle, there was no hope for them.
In just a few minutes, Leylin roamed around the God Stone Square and harvested all the Profound Qi from various Elementary Realm and Nascent Realm warriors but his main targets were higher level warriors.
All Human Realm warriors who were somewhat lucky to escape, as they could withstand the aftershocks generated from the battle, not receiving any life threatening wounds were selected by him to be his target.
Leylin swiftly and ruthlessly managed to kill whoever came in his way without distinction only sparing Lenoir's and Medicine Valley because of the chaos and severe repercussions it may cause, but he has no qualms whatsoever into making the battle more bloody and harvesting.
Due to his devour power and devour system that could absorb the Profound Qi from the corpses and refine it without any problem respectively into his meridians, Leylin hoped for more chaos. He was continually encouraging Eren and others to fight against the Dunn family in person so to increase the casualties, enabling him to enter higher Realms faster.
[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.1. Agility +0.2. Vitality +0.1 Profound Qi + 0.8!"]
[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.2. Agility +0.3. Vitality +0.2 Profound Qi + 0.6!"]
[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.1. Agility +0.2. Vitality +0.1 Profound Qi + 0.5!"]
[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.4. Agility +0.3. Vitality +0.2 Profound Qi + 1.5!"]
[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.5. Agility +0.4. Vitality +0.3 Profound Qi + 2.7!"]
....
Continuous notifications sounded as A. I. Chip showed Leylin progress bar increasing at an incredible speed, his strength, agility and vitality were increasing slowly while Profound Qi rapidly increased in his meridians, his devouring powers and innate Devour System working at full capacity, slightly making him overfilled.
"It's only in the battlefield where the warriors belong, the blood boiling, screams shaking the ground, vile curse and unheard prayers ringing the ears of the corpses. In this chaos of messed minds, pandemonium of torn flesh and terror of departed soul shall the true God Of Slaughter take his rightful place and reintroduce the glory of the Blood Demon waiting to DEVOUR!"
