Celestial Overlord: The path of conquest

Li Ting looked towards Xie Long with shock and admiration after she saw him beheading an enemy expert. Nearby enemy experts got apprehensive as well as they became wary of Xie Long's presence.

"Brat, stay away from this battle. Otherwise, we will make sure to visit your family after this battle", the other enemy expert who was fighting the Hongyun pavilion 's member stopped fighting and shouted.

"Don't listen to him. Help our brothers as much as possible. I, Wang Qiang swear that I will repay you with my life if you can save my brothers", the expert from the Hongyun pavilion spoke.

"Let's see how will it feel for the second time", Xie Long didn't reply to Hongyun pavilion's member rather he looked towards the enemy expert with a covetous expression on his face.

The enemy expert felt uneasy when he saw Xie Long looking at him. "Brat, you are courting death", he roared and swung his sword towards Xie Long.

Xie Long was prepared for a sudden attack. He swung his sword vertically and the enemy expert's attack cut in half. The enemy expert suddenly felt a chill all over his body and leapt to the side. The Hongyun pavilion's expert had launched a ferocious strike towards him, the moment he attacked Xie Long.

Xie Long charged at the enemy expert when he was caught off-guard by the Hongyun pavilion's expert. 'Clang', metallic sound rang out as both of their weapons collided. The enemy expert became numb for a moment when Xie Long's sword collided with his own.

"Bastard, you are a lightning cultivator", the enemy expert uttered out in shock. Xie Long swung his sword once again and the enemy expert could only bring his sword infront of him to defend. There was no surprise as he was cleaved in half along with his sword.

"Thanks very much. Please save others. I will do my best to repay you once this battle is over", Wang Qiang, the Hongyun pavilion's expert spoke.

"No need for any repayment. You can protect little Ting for now", Xie Long spoke.

"Little brother, can you tell me your reason for joining this battle? As long as you leave this battlefield, I promise, I will give you thousand spirit stones", the leader of the enemy experts' spoke. He was fighting Yan Mei but the ferocity of Xie Long didn't go unnoticed by him.

"Little brother, whatever he can give, my Hongyun pavilion can give as well. We can discuss your requirement after this battle is over", Yan Mei spoke.

"I am only taking a gamble. Let's see if it is worth the risk or not", Xie Long spoke. He charged towards another enemy expert who was fighting a Hongyun pavilion member.

It was another forceful collision. This time both of their weapons shatters when they clashed with eachother. Xie Long channeled thunder energy into his fist and sent a fist towards the face of the enemy expert. The enemy expert punched as well but the result was beyond his expectation .

Cracking sound came out as his wrist got broken when his fist collided with Xie Long's. He tried to defend himself but Xie Long's fist blew his head apart. The sight was so gory that even the battle hardened Hongyun pavilion's member felt nauseated. In distance, Li Ting became pale in fright after she saw such a brutish method. She couldn't control her churning stomach and started to three away whatever she had eaten in past few days.

The sight of the headless corpse intimidated many. The enemy experts involuntarily backstepped when they saw the bloodsoaked figure of Xie Long.

'Fighting with bare hand is more enjoyable than fighting with a weapon', Xie Long thought to himself. A thirst for bloodshed appeared in his heart as he.locked on another enemy expert.

"Bastard, why are you targeting me?", the enemy expert shouted in exasperation. When Xie Long came closer, he turned around and fled from the battlefield.

"He looks like a tender young man. How can he be so fierce! What is his cultivation base?", Wang Qiang who was protecting Li Ting in the distance, muttered to himself.

"Senior brother Long is amazing. He can save everyone from these masked enemies", Li Ting spoke. There was a look of admiration and worship in her eyes as she looked towards Xie Long.

"Young miss Ting, you should think twice before associating with him. Although he is as much young as you, he is very dangerous", Wang Qiang spoke with a solemn expression on his face.

"What! Senior brother is as much old as me!", little Ting only remembered the words which she felt important. As for Wang Qiang 's rest of the words, she completely ignored them. Wang Qiang watched with helplessness as she looked at Xie Long with unblinking eyes.

It was a slaughter fest for Xie Long in the battlefield. It had been only few minutes yet he had killed three enemy experts. He had choosen another two enemy experts for battle but they fled even before he could get close.

Xie Long chose an enemy cultivator nearby who appeared very formidable. His opponent, a member of Hongyun pavilion was badly suppressed while they were fighting.

Xie Long picked up another thick sword and rushed towards the enemy expert. This time, the enemy expert didn't flee like the others. A vicious grin appeared on his face as he swung his non fighting hand towards Xie Long.

An attack came flying towards Xie Long with a breath taking speed. Xie Long barely had time to swing his sword when the attack reached him. Xie Long slashed at the attack with his sword but this time it was him, who got flung away. The attack continued on its path and cut a nearby boulder in half. Xie Long felt slightly apprehensive after seeing the impact of the attack. A desire for battle rise in his heart when he looked at the enemy expert. The notion of fighting a strong opponent, stroked his fighting spirit.

"Everyone retreat. The mission is a failure", suddenly leader of the enemy experts shouted. He calmly distanced himself from Yan Mei and looked towards Xie Long.

"We will meet again. Hopefully, we will not be enemies in future", he spoke before leaving. Xie Long calmed down slightly after seeing the departure of enemy leader. He controlled his instinct and didn't attack any masked cultivators.

A somber silence hung in the air even after the masked enemies had left. Everyone's heart was heavy as they looked at the dead bodies scattered across the battlefield.
