Chapter 234: Escape

234 Escape

Alex started cultivating. Unknown to him, people from many forces were on their way to him. Even if he wanted to hurry, he can't. The golden lightning made him can't do so. The only way to escape was to advance first as quickly as possible then finally escaped.
Leoz and the others were killing the monsters without leaving an opportunity for the monsters passed through them and made their way to Alex. They thought the monster might not have any leader, the way Anna had speculated.
They were attracted to Alex's Lightning Tribulation. That was their instinct as a Monster Beast. With that, Anna did not have anything to bother her for a while and continued killing the monsters. Her killing rate also increased. Of course, it did not mind that she let her guard down.
Alex had this feeling once again. His cultivation started raising from 10-Star Martial Master Peak to 1-Star Grandmaster. But, he also had a feeling that he understood something. This was the feeling where he suddenly understood his Spear Intent.
After a while, his Sword Intent suddenly started gathering outside his body. They scattered while dancing all around his body. The most surprising thing was where the Sword Intent suddenly looked like it got compressed. It slowly came inside his body.
When the Sword Intent fully absorbed in Alex's body. It suddenly came out again. But this time, it came with Harmony. It made a sphere like Sword Intent. When the sphere of Sword Intent came out. It started expanding, from a small ball, becoming one meter radius, and it expanded continuously until it reached five meters sphere in radius.
If others looked at it, they would be able to recognize it. Because the sphere of Sword Intent that surrounded Alex was a Sword Domain. That meant, Alex finally broke through a Sword Grandmaster. If others knew that he, despite being a new Grandmaster, had become a Sword Grandmaster. It might shake the entire mainland.
But, blessing also came in disguise. Even though the expansion of Sword Domain had over, there was still another thing he had. With the opening of Sword Grandmaster Realm. Unknowingly, Alex also somehow understood another thing. It was like a door opened to him.
Behind the Sword Domain, there was suddenly an appearance of Spear Intent. When the gate had opened, the rest will follow. Alex's Spear Intent also went through the same process. First, they scattered and danced around him before they got absorbed by Alex.
The moment they came out of his body, they made a sphere of Spear Intent, from a small sphere to a big sphere. Expanding again and again. Unfortunately, unlike his Sword Intent. Alex only managed to expand the Spear Domain to three meters in radius. Even so, it was already an unprecedented achievement.
A new Martial Grandmaster but also a Sword Grandmaster and a Spear Grandmaster. It was big news as well as a disaster for Alex. Looking at the condition, the Golden Lightning seemed to enhance only his Sword. But using that indescribable knowledge, Alex managed to open his way to Spear Grandmaster.
Using the spur of the moment, Alex tried to fuse his Sword Intent and Spear Intent together. Like a meeting between two parties, the Sword Intent and the Spear Intent greeted each other. They were dancing together between those three meters to five meters radius layer.
Alex continued to do that, but like his relationship, it was not that easy. It was not like falling in love at first sight. The overbearing Sword Intent and the sharp Spear Intent. As the Sword Intent slowly shrunk, it looked like it wanted to merge.
Unfortunately, when the two Domains collided. They suddenly broke into pieces like glass. Both domains became undone, and it did not stop there as Alex suddenly spat blood. With that, he finally came back from his breakthrough.
Alex checked his injuries. Luckily, it did not do much damage. He can just recover with a bit of rest. He opened his eyes to see Leoz kill the last monster standing. Anna and Sherry seemed to have finished their portions too. Alex was grateful to them. When they noticed Alex had woken up. They immediately approached him.
"Thank you, gu-"Before Alex can thank them, the system immediately interrupted.
[Host, hurry up, run away from here. There is someone strong approaching y-]
The same as Alex, before Alex can finish reading the notification, he felt the overbearing pressure ten meters in front of him. Leoz and Anna also immediately picked up their weapon again. Looking at the one who dared to come to them at this moment, hostility.
The one who came was another old man with long green hair and an aged face. His eyes were full of strictness. He wore a green lace long white robe with some grassy pattern. Alex immediately activated his Spirit Eyes and was surprised by what he saw.
He saw tremendous energy inside the old man's body. It was stronger than the one in Charya's. But there was something that piqued him. He saw the stream of blood red energy, spreading the entire Spiritual Energy.
'Did he come to take revenge?' Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
"Are you the one who made that phenomenon?" The old man said with his stern but aged voice.
"No." Alex said, trying to test the water.
"Young Man, I warn you, don't lie to me. If you lie to me again, I will punish you." He said while releasing his Spiritual Energy.
Sherry perceived Alex's intention. She acted like she was scared and got behind Alex. She looked like she was scared and hid behind Alex since she didn't dare even to show herself to the old man. In reality, after she got behind him, she immediately entered Alex's body.
'If you already know, then why did you even ask!' Alex cursed in his mind. "Yes."
"Then you have two choices, submit to the Zhou Kingdom and be loyal to us. We will nurture you."
Alex narrowed his eyes. The Zhou Kingdom again, he thought. Alex asked first, "Are you a Martial King?"
"Hmph, it seems that your eyes are also good. That's right! Now submit to us."
"I don't remember that the Zhou Kingdom has a Martial King" Alex tried to get some information. This old man was looking down at him. He thought that Alex wouldn't be able to escape from his clutch.
"Hmph, you don't know anything about us. We will dominate the continent, that's why we submit to us now. And you will also get the glory."
Alex frowned, the tone of this old man was too big to swallow. Alex asked, "Then what is the second option?"
"Death" The old man only let out a single word.
Alex looked for an opportunity to escape. He suddenly looked down like he was weighing something.
"Don't think. There are only two choices for you as you can't escape from me." Then the old man suddenly looked at Leoz and Anna. "If you try something funny, I will kill both of them."
Alex looked at Anna and Leoz and secretly gave them a signal. Anna and Leoz also understood his intention. Alex still wanted to escape. Anna, who knew him the most, immediately recognized his plan. He tried to use his Space Door to escape from here. So, she will be a distraction. But first, they will play along.
"No, Young Master. You can't." Anna said dramatically.
"That's right, Young Master. You can't. Remember, you are our Sirius Family Young Master. You can't submit." Leoz said dramatically.
The old man released his Spiritual Energy to shut them up. He looked at Alex, "Choose now. Submit or die. If you die, look at this young girl. I will make her serve the soldiers as s*x worker."
"Fine. I will choose!" Alex shouted. He was gritting his teeth. How dare he…
"Good, you make the right choice."
"Young Master!" Both Leoz and Anna shouted. They played along excellently.
"I have made my decision, say no more. It is as he said. It is the right choice." Alex said. The old man started grinning, thinking that he had won. Alex suddenly said. "Yeah, it is really the right choice. And my choice is… Anna!"
As soon as he said that, Anna immediately used her techniques.
"Dark Curtain" She made a massive black sphere, trying to surround the old man. The old man can only see darkness from the inside. But, that split second confusion, let Alex escape. Alex had been planning to escape after killing the monster. If not because of the effect of golden lightning that prevented him from doing so, he would escape immediately after he killed the monster.
The moment the Dark Curtain was raised. Alex immediately made a Space Door. He made a Space Door toward the direction of the Blazing Pond's cave. The distance itself was not that much, so with his current expertise, he should be able to make it.
A circle gate appeared in front of him. Inside the gate, there was only a blue colored layer. It was kind of like a water surface as the blue layer was volatile. Alex immediately entered the gate and entered that blue colored realm.
The old man was trapped by the Dark Curtain. Because of the sudden change, he was shocked. But, he immediately expanded his Spiritual Energy and tried to attack anywhere. His attacks were flying in many directions until an attack grazed the Dark Curtain.
The darkness slowly crumbled as he soon can see the outside world once again. When he looked at Alex's direction. He can only see a circle gate that soon closed. He immediately realized that they fooled him.
Alex took advantage of his confusion. But, the biggest miscalculation he had made was underestimating him. He can clearly recognize that gate, and it was a Space Element ability. Only a Space Element can have such a strange technique.
But, if he escaped from there, he can't bring his friends. If he made his friends as hostages, Alex would come sooner or later. Especially with that otherworld beauty 'Anna', Alex won't be able to abandon her. Upon realizing that, he immediately looked at Anna and Leoz to take them as hostages.
It became his miscalculation too. As soon as Alex entered the gate, he recalled Anna and Leoz back to the cards. When he looked at them, he saw they disappeared like an illusion. He couldn't sense them anymore.
He thought that those two 'friends' were an illusion. He wanted to spat blood. To think a newborn Martial Grandmaster could fool and escape from him, a Martial King.
…
When Alex entered the gate, He finally came inside a blue realm. According to Spatial Plate or Space Door. This realm was called Void World, or others might say a space within space. In this realm, Alex can only see blue colored layers that look like water. Now he had some understanding about space, he can somehow see what the blue layer was.
He had experienced it quite a bit when he practiced the Spatial Door and Space Plate back in the sect. When he practiced it, he could only use Spatial Door while his mastery in Space Plate was not deep enough to use it.
Thinking about it, Alex was a bit grateful that he managed to learn the Spatial Door first. He can escape with this technique. Back in the sect, he tried a few times about this blue layer. When he made another gate in this layer, it will lead him to another place near him.
Sometimes he suddenly appeared in the bedroom, sometimes he appeared in front of Anna and made her startled, and sometimes he appeared anywhere else. Luckily, if he tried to make a gate in an object. It will fail. If not, Alex might suddenly appear and fuse with an object, or he might appear inside the wall that was full of materials.
He ran quite a bit. He finally saw the Blazing Pond. He tried to see the room for Blazing Pond. Then he opened the gate and entered it. He finally arrived in the cave. With the natural looking wall in the cave entrance, there should be no problem with him being found out here.
Sherry came out of the cave as Alex took out two cards.
"Summon"
Anna and Leoz appeared in front of him in relief. Leoz hadn't seen Alex for quite a while, so he did not know Alex's ability that much. But Anna had observed him from day one. She knew Alex's Spatial Door and recognized his plan. Leoz only played along with her.
After getting to the system, he can somehow understand the intention of other spirits, whether they were serious or not. Anna was not serious when telling him, 'he can't'. So, Leoz immediately played along. He thought that the Young Master must have a plan.
Luckily, their plan succeeded. They managed to escape and left that old man behind. They made sure to remember the 'Zhou Kingdom' about this.
