Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

"Saber Arts: Double Kill Slash!"

Liam and the mirages attacked at the same time. Although the mirages had no attacking power, that was not his goal.

The spectators watched as five swords drew closer with great speed and might, cutting through the air as they did.

*Slash!*

The swords arrived and slashed through Mark who appeared to be standing still.

'What?' Liam did not feel anything from that attack and realizes that he cut through Mark's afterimage instead.

'Shit!'

He immediately turned to move away, but a punch suddenly hit him in his temple.

*Bang!*

Liam felt his brain shake as he went unconscious wondering what just happened.

"Woah! Did you see that?!"

"He is so fast!"

"But how did he know the real Liam?"

"I have no idea."

Mark had moved so fast that Liam didn't notice he had moved due to his raw speed and his movement technique.

'That movement technique, I have never seen it before,' Arthur thought to himself.

'Whatever technique Mark used, it is comparable to my Wind Ride technique. Moreover, it might even be higher,' Arthur analyzed in his mind.

'Also, his speed...speed intent at the seventh level?'

"Mark wins!"

Mark Grayson stepped off the stage, 'This whole thing should end fast. I can't keep my sister waiting for long...'

"Next battle, Quan vs Invincible!"

Arthur was roused away from his thoughts as he heard his name.

'Against the person ranked 10th eh?' He skillfully jumped up and landed softly on the stage, just after Quan did.

"Hehe, who would have thought that I would have such luck," Quan grinned.

He thought of how he planned to show Arthur that the top ten are not to be messed with and was glad to be the one to 'stop his winning streak'.

'But still, though, I can not afford to be reckless as he isn't any weakling either, even though he is only at the fourth rank of the Gold Core Realm.'

Meanwhile, Arthur only gave a small confident smile at Quan's words and said nothing in reply.

"I see that you still think that you can beat everyone with one move," Quan furrowed his brows at Arthur's reaction.

At this time the Elder in charge announced the start of the match, "Begin!"

Quan grinned and released his martial spirit which looked like tiny rocks that floated around him.

'An Earth Martial Spirit?...hmm it is just the common kind.'

Arthur got ready for any attack as he activated his essence energy which released an aura outside his body.

'Which such a martial spirit, strength, and defense will be his specialty. But from what I learned of him, his speed is okay...but not good enough.'

Arthur thought things through while his gaze remained focused on his opponent.

A sword appeared in Quan's hand and he shot toward Arthur, but Arthur remained standing and waited for him to get close.

"Are you going to just stand there? You underestimate me!"

Quan raised his sword and arrived a few meters before Arthur, and while everyone thought Arthur would receive a slash of the sword to his chest, Quan did something unexpected.

'I was saving this to beat Liam, but I guess you will be the first victim...'

"Earthen Slide!"

Quan's foot got covered with tiny rocks and he slid around Arthur in an instant and appeared behind him.

'Hmph! Your loss, fool.'

"Earthen Firmament Slash!"

A sword covered in a yellowish-brown aura slashed at Arthur's back.

"He is done for!" Someone exclaimed from the crowd, and many felt it would be like that.

*Slash!* *Boom!*

The sword arrived but rather than flesh, its power slashed at the stage and caused cracks to appear on it.

This stage was made with a special stone that was dense enough to receive the full-powered attack of a peak Gold Core Realm cultivator.

Only an attack that had reached the power level of a Martial Origin Realm cultivator can damage it.

This goes to show how strong the attacking power of this tenth-ranked disciple is.

'What?! Don't tell me?'

Quan reacted fast and used his movement technique to slide to a random location and looked around warily around the stage.

'Where is he?' He was shocked that he couldn't see Arthur.

'Behind me!' Quan slashed his sword behind him as he turned and retreated.

But again his attack hit nothing but air.

"What is going on...is this an illusion?"

"Earthen Slide!"

Quan used his movement technique multiple times and moved around the stage striking his sword in the air multiple times.

"What trickery is this! Face me head-on!"

"Show yourself!"

Quan shouted in frustration, and he didn't even notice the peculiar looks he was getting from the spectators.

Just as Quan was wondering what to do next, he heard a voice call out to him.

"Quan, he is behind you, idiot!"

Quan widened his eyes as he realized that he didn't even sense Arthur.

"Hah!"

He twisted his sword as its edge pierced behind him at the fasted speed that he could muster, and then turn around only to despair once more as his sword only hit the air.

"Too slow," A voice spoke close to his ear.

"Wha-?!"

"North-Star Fists!"

"Bang!"

A punch at Quan's back blasted him away.

*Boom!*

Quan crash-landed before a group of disciples who just arrived close to the stage, and passed out.

The ground where he landed was cracked and caused dust to rise and resulting in the just-arrived disciples being covered in dust.

"How dare you!"

A furious voice spoke from amongst the group and a figure waved his hand and blew the dust away.

Arthur finally took a good look at this group of disciples.

They were dressed in the uniform of the Inner Court Disciples.

The one in front was glaring at him angrily and Arthur knew from his furious shout that he was the one who hinted his position to Quan.

In battle, it is against the rules to offer any assistance to someone engaged in a match with another disciple in the arena.

Because of that Arthur had already determined that the newcomers were foes, and deliberately punched Quan in their direction.

"You-"

"Silence!"

The inner court disciple wanted to speak out but was shut up by one of the spectating elders.

"Hmph!" He harrumphed and led his group to spectate at a secluded corner.

'A mere outer court elder dare interfere. Just you wait until the Young Master comes out of secluded cultivation!'

The young man swore in his heart as he memorized the face of the Elder that asked him to shut up.
