Gacha Sovereign

Song Jia swung her sword, aiming at his neck. Another sword came to her way, blocking it perfectly despite pushing it with her full strength. With this, it was clear that Andre was suspicious.

Alex did not immediately join this fight as he observed everyone's expression, trying to see if there was another one. Luckily, it would seem he was alone, making the situation not complicated.

"Bang!"

Alex turned around and saw Song Jia blow Andre away.

She then disappeared, raising the dust with her speed. A shadow appeared behind Andre, making him turn around and channeling his energy to his sword.

From his Spirit Eyes, Alex knew this person did not really cultivate his element. He looked at the energy inside the sword and understood the battle situation. Although the energy in his sword was powerful, it was not refined, making him lose to Song Jia.

"Grand Slash!"

"Blackwade Clan First Dance, Flower Sword." Her sword shone in pink, releasing a powerful oppressive pressure. The light slowly turned into flower petals, falling from above.

Andre furrowed his eyebrows, noticing how sharp the petals were. Even though he already knew the technique, he did not manage to block two of the petals, piercing his skin. Seeing Andre channeled his Spiritual Energy, he stopped the bleeding on those two holes in his arm.

He never thought a graceful swing would be that deadly, making him amazed.

"Bam!"

After injuring his arm, the last strike from Song Jia's sword blew him to the ground.

"Blackwade Clan Second Dance, Twin Flowers!" Creating two swings in a single move, Song Jia shot out a powerful Sword Wave from pink flower petals. It was like a thousand of those petals joined together to create a single powerful sword wave that would cut the enemy to pieces.

Alex felt he could copy this technique, but had no desire as he already had the Martial Art Inheritances. There would be a Martial Art that suited him better than this art, he thought.

Andre suddenly swung his sword to the side, creating a powerful shockwave that would blow him away. Song Jia's Sword Wave only hit an empty ground as Andre managed to avoid it by blowing himself away.

Song Jia released all of her Spiritual Energy and Domain, wanting to finish it as quickly as possible. She took a glimpse of Alex's expression and decided not to involve him in this. She was already thankful enough for giving her precious information, forgetting about the bathing scene. Besides, Andre was her subordinate, so she would take full responsibility for this.

The pressure locked onto Andre, making him know he could not escape. Gritting his teeth, he stopped and swung his sword toward her. His cover was already blown away, so he did not need to hold back from killing her.

"Die! One Sword Ultima!"

The energy fused with the sword was close to ten percent of his full energy. If it were a normal fight, it would be a foolish thing to do. However, this was a life and death fight. He was planning to end this fight before anyone would and or even tried helping her.

"!!!" Feeling the overbearing pressure coming from the sword, she lowered her center of gravity and clenched her sword, gradually blocking it with her sword.

The moment two swords clashed, it created a powerful shockwave, blowing the dust toward Alex and the others. Before making his move, Putri stepped forward and created a barrier from Spiritual Energy, blocking the dust and shockwave to sweep even his hair. It was just like her instinct was telling her to do that.

Alex made a weird expression, looking at her who was so focused on stopping this shockwave. He wondered if Rose and Evelyn would do something like this… Nah, he would be the one who stepped in, muttering to himself, "They are still kids after all…"

Even though Evelyn was not a kid anymore, Alex still treated her like a kid as he was accustomed to that way. He shook his head, observing the battle again.

Although Song Jia was blown away by that sword attack, she managed to reduce the impact, not letting it injure her.

She turned her body around while swinging her sword gracefully.

"Blackwade Clan Second Dance, Twin Flowers."

The sword wave flew toward Andre, pushing him back a few steps before he somehow destroyed the sword wave. Using his Spiritual Energy, he blew all the flower petals to the side as to prevent them from injuring him.

She did not believe she could kill him with that attack anyway as she used it just to create a chance to close in again. After knowing his reckless style, she could charge in and kill him somehow.

"Blackwade Clan First Dance, Flower Sword."

He released his one hundred meter sword domain like an explosion, bursting all the petals away and blowing Song Jia's main sword. Alex knew this technique as he learned it from the fight with those two intents. With that burst of energy, it would give him a chance to swing his sword at her neck.

Song Jia ducked down and swung her sword while he made a full swing before blocking her sword with his sword.

The two continued to clash, aiming at the neck, hands, feet, and so on. Their battle left marks around the area, creating a messy plain. Luckily, no cultivators came to the area despite being in a grassy plain.

A few minutes later, Alex thought he needed to go, so he decided to step in, finishing the battle.

She was surprised at first but realized how long it took just to kill Andre. With the power of two Martial Emperors, even Andre would not last for long. Although she was reluctant to have Alex's help, she knew it would be better to finish it as quickly as possible.

She released her two hundred sword domain and concentrated it into her sword. The sword started glowing again, emanating an overbearing Spiritual Pressure.

Andre also released his full strength, condensing it into a single strike. Unfortunately, by the time it almost struck her sword, Alex made a move.

"Spirit Step, First Step."

The little soul stepped on the ground, absorbing all the energy he could absorb. This certainly shocked everyone on the scene, feeling the dry Spiritual Energy in the air. In fact, even a bit of energy from the sword was sucked into his body.

All the energy stored inside his body filled all the muscles inside his body from his hands to feet. Alex then channeled his energy into his right foot, gradually stepping the ground.

"Spirit Step, Second Step."

The energy burst out from his foot to Andre, attacking him with a Spiritual Pressure. It gave him a headache and lost control of his attack.

Song Jia, Putri, and the others were shocked by this power, glancing at him for an instant. With the flow of energy alone, they knew Alex could turn the tide of the battle. This was a powerful technique if he could use it in the battle. With how troublesome the process, he would need at least a second or two in order to activate it and no enemy would wait for that long.

It was different in this battle. With Song Jia occupying Andre, he could launch this attack, supporting her in the process.

Song Jia was not foolish enough just to be shocked and missed this opportunity. She slashed downwards, cutting him into two.

Unfortunately, Andre still managed to react. He gritted his teeth and let every energy left to block this powerful attack.

Although he managed to block the attack, the residual force did not let him from blocking her next attack. Of course, the most powerful thing she could do was kicking him right at his chest because of the position.

"Gah!"

The strike broke a few ribs. He spat blood and flew away with the momentum of that kick.

Alex had predicted this and already stood behind him all the time even before attacking with Spirit Step.

A rank 6 Fire Elemental Sword appeared on his hand, gradually moving toward Andre.

Releasing the pressure, Andre turned around and found Alex. He gritted his teeth, moving his body under the pain just to create a powerful swing. This swing was not to strike at Alex. Instead, it was to stop Alex's attack and let Alex blow him away. He would then run away with that momentum.

Unfortunately, the one in front of him was Alex. His Twin Blade Domain was already covering his sword, swinging it toward him.

'This is it.' He thought before feeling something wrong. The moment he took his blow, everything became clear as he felt the heaviness of this sword.

Alex's sword was not meant to kill him. Instead, it was aiming at his hand. And because Alex was planning to cut his hand together with his sword, Andre misunderstood his intention.

Sharpness and a swing with 300 dragon strength and 400 meter domain were enough to cut a rank 5 Sword along with the user's hand before letting him drop to the ground.

"No way!" Only Song Jia, who had the highest attainment in Sword, barely managed to keep up with him. Although she did not want to admit it, she certainly saw Alex create a 400 meter domain for an instant. She and her sister had the same 200 meter domain, but to think, someone was really more monstrous than them. His existence alone would undoubtedly shake the continent. She muttered to herself, "As expected of Elder Sister."

She sighed, thinking it was really impossible to beat her sister. Although their cultivation at the moment, Song Yu was blessed with a 'bigger' brain than her and her luck was insane just by becoming Alex's Senior Sister.

She looked at the single swing that managed to claim a hand and a sword, wondering what he would do next.

Out of desperation, Andre took out another Sword with him, but Alex already cut the other hand before he could even swing it.

He then grabbed his head before covering it with his fire.

"Fire Phoenix Art, Second Stage. Fire Claw."

"Argh!!!"

The fire turned into a claw and roasted Andre's head with powerful heat. It did not stop there, he continued grabbing his hand until it melted Andre's head and burned the skull and brain inside.

He could not grab his head again as he had melted the entire head.

Song Jia walked toward him with a complicated expression. "I am sorry for involving you in this."

"Young Lady, are you alright?" The others started coming toward her, checking her condition. He had yet to trust these people, so he backed up a little bit, preventing anyone from getting close to him.

Putri stayed beside him even though she was in this group.

"Alexander Sirius… Thank you. I didn't mean to involve you, but ultimately involved you…" She sighed, clasping her hand respectfully.

"It's fine. Well, I need to go now since the matter is finished." He nodded before turning to Putri, "Take care."

"Yes." Both women nodded their heads, looking at him turn around.

At this time, Alex miscalculated one thing. Although he had his guard up, it was only for himself, not for the tired Song Jia, who had used almost half of her energy. One of the 10-Star Martial King females sneaked behind her and took out her Sword.

"!!!" Alex disappeared from their point of view, circling around them as he swung his sword. Unfortunately, he was too late.

Her blade already pierced through her body, missing a little bit from her heart. He should know that if this guy was from a Joyful Union Sect, he should have a woman already even inside the Blackwade Clan. And that woman almost claimed Song Jia's life if not because she was suspicious why Alex suddenly disappeared.

Alex's swing immediately cut her head and took out that sword as he saw a black liquid covering that sword. "Poison!"

Song Jia fell down to the ground, spitting up blood. "Gah!"

"Young Lady!"
