"Crown Prince Davis Loret, did you forget that the Emperors of all the Empires are also members of the Guardian Alliance?" Lester Dawnton spoke up after a short pause, "Did the Ruth Emperor or the Ruth Princess agree to this? As long as one became a ruler of an empire, they do unofficially become a member of the Guardian Alliance, after all..."
Davis couldn't smile amusingly.
"Father-in-law isn't bothered, and neither is my wife-to-be. My little sister said that she was never a part of the Guardian Alliance. If you're worried about the other Empires, don't worry. I sent envoys to their places, and we'll soon see what their answer is soon enough, but before that, I'm having you all disband and taking over this place, so don't blame me that I didn't warn you all."
Lester Dawnton's brows furrowed before it became normal, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"Then I request Crown Prince Davis Loret to give this old man some pointers. I am extremely interested to know how much Crown Prince Davis Loret has grown in fourteen years..."
"Useless probing..." Davis lazily uttered, almost about to sigh exasperatedly before his lips moved again, "That's the first warning. You nor anyone in the Guardian Alliance would get any next."
Not only Lester Dawnton but everyone's brows furrowed with immense displeasure. Just because this brat had a mysterious senior behind his back, he was completely looking down on them. Some were highly reluctant and enraged to be treated like this by a youth who didn't even cross thirty years of age, but of course, they understood that he was powerful than them since he was already abnormally powerful at a very young age, not to mention that he possessed those strange talismans capable of instantly killing them.
They didn't want to get on his bad side, lest they end up like Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor, dying without even knowing how they died.
"Those pointers..."
A melodious voice suddenly echoed.
Everyone suddenly turned to look at the source of the voice where a woman in a dark green robe floated beside Davis, her facial features covered by an azure veil. However, she possessed black eyes that looked mesmerizing with an azure charm.
"I think I can help you all three old men learn how to be respectful to my Crown Prince when he's this nice, no?"
Fiora's voice resounded out with arrogance while Davis's brows twitched.
'Okay, I haven't heard about this...'
"Lady, you are strong..."
Lester Dawnton's brows narrowed as he sensed that her undulations were at the Peak-Level Law Seed Stage. The Grand Sea Continent rarely had women that were at this stage and level, but for some reason, he could see them popping out one by one, and they were even stronger than the men.
The two most powerful women known were Princess Isabella Ruth and Empress Clara Loret, both said to have obtained an Immortal Inheritance through their own power. Honestly, they felt disgruntled that they weren't youths. Otherwise, they all felt that they had a valid chance to pass the trial as they had come out on top in the Grand Sea Continent with their own strength after overcoming numerous life and death situations.
"However, you're a little early if you want to teach me or any one of us three a lesson."
He shook his head, smiling wryly while the others behind him had mocking smiles on their faces.
Davis became confused on why Fiora would suddenly speak at this moment.
Was she angered for him? It felt like it but looking at Evelynn and the others; they had this faint smile on their eyes that told him a different story.
'Ah, so that's how it is...'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDavis instantly realized these girls wanted to use this occasion as a tempering experience for Fiora. He quickly hopped on to their plan and smiled as he wasn't aversed to making them grow in strength and cultivation. These kinds of opportunities rarely came by, and this place was the best where he had complete control over the situation, not to mention Isabella was also there with them.
These old men's experience in battling were probably tremendous, but if he fought them, that would count for nothing as it would just be a one-sided slaughter. It would be considered bullying. It was the same with Evelynn, Natalya, and Isabella, as they might just poison, freeze or crush them to death.
On the other hand, if Fiora fought them, she tended to gain more benefits, rapidly increasing her battle senses and instincts.
He had initially come here for quickly making them disband, but...
"Mhm... Perhaps, if any one of you can fairly defeat my Fiora, I'm willing to compensate with spirit stones for wanting you all to disband. Not a bad deal, right?"
Lester Dawnton's eyes flashed, "How much?"
Davis lifted his hand and raised one finger.
"A thousand?"
Adlet Gullscream, who was bald and looked like a monk with a burly body, asked with confusion.
Davis shook his head.
Nilus Redsword, who literally had a red sword strapped behind his back, spoke up, "Ten thousand? Wait, that's not one..."
Davis sighed, "One million... This is the best I can do for the thousands of years the Guardian Alliance protected the Grand Sea Continent from external threats."
The old men completely went silent while the others also turned dumbfounded.
"...!"
"What!?"
Then, an instantaneous uproar exploded amongst the members of the Guardian Alliance, making them furiously send soul transmission to each other to discuss this matter while some of them openly question the authenticity but was drowned by other dumbfounded voices.
"The best...?"
Lester Dawnton's expression twisted, his lips twitching while his narrowed eyes were wide open. The two old men also had similar reactions as they looked dumbfounded.
Million? A million spirit stones!?
Screw moral codes! It's time to publically beat up a woman!
"Please teach me some pointers!"
Lester Dawnton clasped his hands towards Fiora, quickly changing his tune.
Davis's brows twitched, feeling like at least the other party could've been discreet about it. He shook his head, feeling disappointed by these greedy old men, and looked at Fiora.
"Teach them a lesson, Fiora."
"Yes!~"
Fiora flew towards the open space above the headquarters of the Guardian Alliance. She was confident, but she knew her bounds and didn't feel overly optimistic as she did not really battle with her Fifth Stage Cultivation. This stage was a new realm to her where she had not practiced anything yet other than cultivating.
Cultivators just do not cultivate but also practice their moves, skills, and techniques.
While she was relatively new, these old men probably knew the ins and out already.
However, there was one thing for sure, present in her mind. She definitely didn't want to lose and embarrass Davis after saying something like that!
She did not clasp her hands but radiated her undulations that were at the Peak-Level Law Seed Stage as a form of provocation.
Lester Dawnton inwardly laughed as he looked at this azure veiled woman whose name was now known to be Fiora. Although he didn't know where this powerful woman came from, unlike the green-haired woman and the purple-haired woman who seemed to be Davis's wife Evelynn and possibly Isabella but could not confirm, he knew that he could take her down.
After all, what could a Law Seed Stage Cultivator do against a Law Manifestation Stage Expert?
Lester Dawnton smirked with his old and dried lips as flames began to blaze around him in response to her undulations.
"Young lady, don't say that this old man harmed you after losing."
"Old man, don't die from the humiliation after you lose."
Fiora giggled as she replied when suddenly Lester Dawnton waved his hand. The flames gathered around him congealed into one single entity as they vaguely turned into the shape of a dragon.
"Watch out, young lady! Rising Flame Dragon Technique!"
Lester Dawnton shouted on top of his lungs as he pushed his palm towards Fiora. The way he was moved was old-school-like, filling the classical role of an old man, while the dragon-shaped fire technique that had formed was just a few meters wide when it abruptly erupted into a twenty-meter-long dragon as it shot towards Fiora.
It seared the air while it sounded like roaring, making it almost look like a real dragon.
"What a domineering name for a low-level technique..."
However, Fiora mocked as she backpedaled, waved her dainty hands with sharpness while her movements were very charming. In spite of that, her essence energy surged with intensity from her hands, sending wind blades towards the incoming flaming dragon.
*Bzzz!~*
It was like the air was being torn apart by roaring sounds as the attacks generated a heavy buzz. The two attacks met, and the wind blades unceremoniously sliced through the flaming dragon to collapse midway, making Lester Dawnton's mocking eyes go wide.
"What!?"
His eyes turned finally serious as he could not afford to lose this battle.
*Bzzz!~*
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFlames buzzed out his two palms that were stretched. He quickly reacted as it failed. He didn't expect this woman named Fiora to be this powerful, but now that he noticed, he no longer held back. The essence energy that surged out of his palms churned with intense heat as it manifested into the silhouette of a human that was five hundred meters tall, almost covering the entirety of the battlefield.
It seemed to a mirror image of the man himself when he was a youth. It possessed a large flame halberd as it swung at the surviving wind blades that arrived near to slice him, quickly making the tiny wind blades break under the onslaught of the flaming halberd.
"Hehe... Young lady, how can you even match the prowess of my manifestation? I figure you already know what kind of manifestation this is..."
Fiora's brows furrowed for the first time in this battle.
She didn't actually expect this old man to have comprehended a Grand Law Manifestation!
Davis also went wide-eyed. It wasn't that visible at first because of their low vitality, but it seems like the old man was at Level Three Fire Intent when he stepped into the Law Manifestation Stage. On second thought, they both felt that it was apt.
After all, if a person who spent hundreds of years in the Law Seed Stage and didn't at least manifest a Grand Law Manifestation when breaking through to the Law Manifestation Stage, they would be utter trash! In fact, it was already a humiliation that this old man didn't manifest a Superior Law Manifestation after spending hundreds of years wailing in it.
Nevertheless, a faint smile hung on Fiora's rosy lips as her voice boomed out.
"Sky Splitting Wind Blade!~"
*Schwing!~*
Abruptly, she swung her hand, and essence energy surged like a tsunami as she spent thirty-five percent of her energy in an instant, making her feel a bit exhausted! However, a large hundred-meter crisscrossed light green wind blade emerged out of her action, shooting straight towards the Grand Law Manifestation of Lester Dawnton.
"Kill!~"
Lester Dawnton screamed with his hoarse voice while the five hundred meters tall flaming self-image of him swung the flaming halberd! The blade of the flaming halberd instantly reached the Sky Splitting Wind Blade when it clashed!
*Boom!~*
Both attacks stuck in space for a minute moment before the Sky Splitting Wind Blade cut through the flaming halberd with some difficulty. The blade of the flaming halberd exploded while the Sky Splitting Wind Blade didn't stop. It went straight for the Grand Law Manifestation's neck and struck, causing it to implode upon piercing through!
*Boom!~*
The impact and implosion caused a tornado to form as it unleashed a flurry firestorm that lasted for two short seconds before it faded, replaced with the sight of a kneeling Lester Dawnton, whose robes were cut with innumerable blades and charred from the firestorm. He didn't seem to be bothered about his image but was looking at Fiora with disbelief.
How could a random woman who came out of nowhere and had lower cultivation than him suddenly best him!?
He still had the energy to fight, but looking at her motion that told him that she had already moved to attack, he knew that he was helpless to defend against the next barrage of her abnormally powerful wind blades that was already on the verge of forming.
This woman was just too fast with her wind control! However, he failed to consider that he was also equally slow in his old age!
Fiora flicked her sleeves once again when the skies that were filled with her wind blades shot towards her opponent.
*Bzzz!~*
The air was cut through while her wind blades were relentless. Thirty or forty such tiny wind blades came rushing at Lester Dawnton at the same time, not even allowing him to dodge as it almost quickly reached him!
"Wait! I surrender!!!"
*Whiz!~*
