Dark Lord

29. Retaliation.

The atmosphere in the room used for the annual clan meeting felt a little different, though, the outer family or branch as intimidated by the main family through the view of those who seem to see something dirty and disgusting.

The Zen elder being accompanied by several other elders started walking towards the second floor to sit down with the other elders.

As for the members, they sat around outside the clan's annual sparring arena.

Several youths had already entered the clan arena, before they entered into the sparring circle.

They would sign a sparing agreement by dripping their blood on the covenant book, so that the participants will not blame the clan elders in case of accidents in the arena such as broken bones and even death,because they follow the sparring of their own volition and the blood on the covenant book as evidence.

The sparing circle has 5 arenas, and each arena is 8x8 meters in diameter.

Zidan chose a seat that was a little far from the crowd in the Holy Follow, but from earlier on Saints just kept silent with a slightly taut facial expression.

A young man who had thick eyebrows stood on top of the sparing circle arena, more precisely in the sparing circle that was in the central area.

"Where was that loser who insulted my father?".

Shouted the young man loudly.

All the participants present were silent, because the young man was the son of one of the influential people, elder Wan.

Not to mention his ability can be said to be the best in the 17-year generation.

"Like her, it's time to shine".

After saying a few sentences, Zidan stood up and stepped his feet towards the sparing arena that was in the middle.

It seems that Saints are very worried about Zidan, he wants to draw Zidan's hand so as not to fight against elder Wan's son named Rio because Saints know Rio's prowess is not just nonsense.

It was just that at this moment Saints were being a little annoyed towards Zidan.

"I thought you'd run and not show your nose".

"Dameless".

In response to Rio's insults, Zidan simply spat.

"You dare to".

"Reason! Quick start".

Snapped Zidan to a man standing in the middle of them.

"Alright, the rules are very simple.

You can simply get the enemy out of the arena, admit defeat or faint.

Another rule is that a participant is not allowed to hit the face and ******* opponent because it can be fatal.

Do you guys understand that?".

Zidan and Rio nodded simultaneously in response to the referee's question.

"Well then, I hereby declare the match to be started!".

After declaring the match at the start, the referee jumped out of the arena so as not to be hit by attacks from the participants.

"Owh, is that the boy who dared to insult elder Wan?".

Asked a woman who covered her lips with a fan.

"Yes, it's like he's the guy. Dare to insult the main family, I hope Rio can make that loser paralyzed".

Reply to one of the young men from the main family.

"I think the young man is pretty good-looking hihihi".

Praise one of the other women who was on the side of the fan woman.

While above the arena, Zidan and Rio still did not show any movement at all.

"Come here! I gave you 3 chances to attack me first".

Rio greatly underestimated Zidan, not even reluctant to give Zidan a chance to attack first 3 times.

But Zidan was not someone who was cheating or cowardly like before, now Zidan was walking casually towards Rio.

"Cuihhhw".

Zidan spat right on Rio's face, then returned casually to the position he stood before with an expression as if nothing had happened.

"Suckers! Be given heart but not know yourself!".

Rio started to get serious, his face was now flushed red.

The cold wind along with the blue colored mana began to slash his body, in just an instant Rio was able to make 7 chunks of ice float into the air.

Zidan swiftly mounted a horse to repel Rio's attack.

"If you're afraid, now's the right time for you to apologize and kneel before me!".

"Dissapper!".

Again Zidan responded to Rio's remark nonchalantly, of course that nature made the audience who saw his match become astonished.

"Well if that's what you want, I hope you won't regret it in hell later!".

After finishing his speech, the chunks of ice blocks floating in the air started flying rapidly towards Zidan in the direction followed by Rio who also shot up very quickly.

With an agile movement Zidan avoided the chunks of ice that floated towards him.

In this match, Zidan did not use his magic power at all because if he wore it then the clan members would find out that he had killed thousands of people just by looking at the red mana coming out of his body.

Despite relying solely on the agility of an Asassin, Zidan was still able to avoid the chunks of ice.

But Rio who darted very quickly and shrewdly made it easy to get Zidan's gap and threw a punch right into Zidan's face.

"Priyriyit".

The referee blew the whistle very loudly, making all eyes look towards the match of Zidan and Rio.

"Why did you hit him in the face?".

"Haha, forgive me the referee. I was not intentionally".

Responding to the referee's reprimand, Rio was only made to be indifferent and laughed satisfied because he managed to hit Zidan's face hard to cause a blue wound.

"Not intentionally, right?alright".

After saying that sentence, like his Zidan was no longer willing to hold back like before.

Zidan casually pulled one of his legs back, making his body lean forward and resting on his right leg.

Zidan's two hands held tightly to the katana he had obtained from the academy's arsenal of blue jasmine.

"Do you want to withstand my attack with that ugly sword of yours? Or running like that? Trust me this will be my last attack and I'll make sure it only breaks a few bones. You have nothing to fear, at least you lost to a genius like me".

Hearing his son's words, elder Wan who was sitting on the second floor clapped with several other elders.

"Good good, that's my son. Teach the selfless Zen boy, son!".

Zidan began to close his eyes, his lips moving slowly as if he were living something.

"Fruit of death technique, step seven".

Hearing the technique that Zidan used to ward off Rio's ice block attacks,

The audience who saw the match began to laugh out loud.

"I think he's become strong, but he's still a trash of hadehh".

"You're right, I think he's being brave for being so great! Turns out his brain was in trouble".

The beautiful woman who covered her face with a fan did not want to miss.

"The young man was indeed a fool, as he was we overestimated him haha".

"First brother was right, I think that young man dared to look for trouble with elder Wan because he was so great.

In reality other than being arrogant, that young man was also stupid".

Everyone who saw the scene now only laughed at Zidan, the Zen elder looked extremely worried.

In contrast to Saints who covered both eyes with their hands, because if her brother had already closed his eyes then no one would be able to resist his attacks.

"All right I'm starting, haiyaaa".

Rio shouted loudly along with dozens of chunks of ice blocks that floated very quickly.

Zidan who was previously in the side horse stance, now stood up gallantly as if resignedly receiving an attack belonging to Rio.

"Why is the boy standing there?".

"It seemed like he was as terrified as someone who had met a ghost, which was why he was now just silent".

"Finished already,hihi hi".

The muttered woman fanned with a slight chuckle.

"Crashhhhhh".

"Yahaaaaa!my feet are aaaaa!".

Rio shouted very loudly when he realized that his two legs had now separated from his body.

"W-what? What the hell just happened?".

Everyone who was focused on watching Zidan and Rio's match started to ask about what happened just above that arena.

All the glances of eyes were directed towards Zidan who slowly opened his eyes with an expressionless face and looked at Rio who was screaming in pain above the arena.

Everyone did not believe the events they were seeing now, how could Zidan slash Rio's legs so easily even though the distance between the two was so far away.

"What the fuck is that?".

The group of girls from the main family members who had underestimated Zidan from the start had now started to get fixated with confused facial expressions.

Zidan slowly walked towards Rio who was lying on top of the arena with a terrifying cry.

Looking at Zidan who was approaching towards him, Rio shouted increasingly louder with a pale and frightened face.

"Don't you dare come any closer! A-Dad help me!".

Hearing Rio's moans and whines, a smile began to adorn Zidan's face.

It was as if Rio's yelling was so delicious to hear.

"I-I'm a I'm attacking".

Not having time to say the sentence of surrender, Zidan's black shoes were already right above Rio's face and silenced his mouth.

"Do you think you can insult my family and apologize so easily? You need to remember, anyone who dares to bother me or harass my family once.

I will reply 10 times, not 100 times, not 1000 times! Nah! I will repay you continuously until you make your life unsettled!".

Rio tried to divert Zidan's shoes which were now stuffing his mouth, with both of his hands Rio continuously pulled Zidan's calf to get the foot off his face.

Elder Wan who saw the incident immediately stood up with a face of flushed red and full of anger.

"Be-dare how dare you! I'll kill you asshole!".

In response to elder Wan's threat, Zidan simply took out a middle finger and spat on Rio's body by looking at elder Wan and started to smile.
