The God of Cataka

86

Shen Zhu developed both of his hands on the sides of his body with fingers forming claws facing upwards.

The golden-coloured balls of light scattered from his palms like dandelion flowers, which then scattered all over and perched on each person, then turned into a huge bubble that protected everyone, except for the knights, the officials and the alliance chief.

"Whoaaaaaa.." Everyone was flabbergasted by the mixture of pleasure and amazement.

Before long, the people within the bubble floated up like flying lanterns.

The emperors, elders and sect masters were also lifted up in that transparent golden-colored bubble.

The alliance officials and the knights looked around with huffed gazes.

The alliance leader staggered. Finally he knew what it meant to be a great calamity foretold.

And the only ones that won't be hit are the civilians!

I didn't expect it to be like this! inner Alliance Leader.

Shen Zhu turned his palm down. The chains on his two hands rattled and interlaced into one strand like the braids of a woman's hair.

In the next instant, the two strands of the chain were blown out by a brightly lit light, the strands of chains on the right hand were white, the strands of chains on the left hand were black. Then the two changed slowly. The chains on the right hand became a sword that was flaming like an aurora with seven rainbow colors, the chains on the left hand turned into blood-red flaming chain whips.

The alliance higher-ups and the knights gasped in horror.

"It has no knightly glory." whispered Shen Zhu in a roaring voice. "Do you deserve to be called the Knight Alliance?"

The knights are backing away.

Shen Zhu floated towards the chairperson's bench.

The guard knights spontaneously charged towards Shen Zhu. But at the same time they also bounced.

The emperors were flabbergasted within the bubbles floating in the air. So does everyone.

Bao Yu lashed out at the transparent layer enveloping him in a mute cry, trying to stop Shen Zhu. But his voice was muffled by the bubble.

Shen Zhu swung his sword towards the ranks of the alliance higher-ups.

Nah! Bao Yu jerked her fan and burst the bubble then shot towards Shen Zhu.

A SLAAASSSH!

JLB!

Bao Yu drooped on the tip of Shen Zhu's sword with her eyes and mouth rounded.

Shen Zhu was aghast and bowed. Staring at his teacher's face with trembling eyes. Both his eyes dimmed. The tongues of fire that enveloped him instantly extinguished.

Bao Yu stretched out a side of her hand towards Shen Zhu, but only reached for empty air. His body slid down and drooped.

"CHRISTYAAAAAAAAAAAKKK!" Shen Zhu's howl shrieked to the high heavens.

All were stunned without a sound.

It was at that moment that a number of knights took the opportunity to ambush Shen Zhu.

Here goes! Jyang Ryu was aware. Then he took out his spear and blew up the bubble that had confined it. Then it darted towards Xie Ma, smashing the veil that had wrapped the girl up, grabbing her waist and darting away from the arena.

But a little late.

Xie Ma saw his sister wriggling in the midst of the siege of the knights, yelling at her teacher, then suddenly thrown with a stomach pierced by a spear.

"CHRISTYAAAAAAAAAAAAK!" Xie Ma's screams were no less loud. Both of his hands thrashed around scavenging for empty air in the arms of Jyang Ryu.

Everyone screamed silently within each other's bubbles.

Tiao and Jialin thrashed while banging on the transparent round walls that encased them.

In the next instant, a dark mist settled up from all over, from everyone's bodies, then seeped into the wound in Shen Zhu's abdomen.

The wound on Bao Yu's stomach spouted out a darker mist tendril, which automatically instantly moved to the wound on Shen Zhu's abdomen. The man's body floated a few feet off the floor as if hanging from the dark rope.

Everyone is frozen again.

Shen Zhu's body was thrown into the air in a slightly bouncy supine position. His hands and feet were hanging with his head.

Dark colored tendrils surrounded him from many directions as if all the darkness from all over the earth was sucked in by his wound.

"What's this?" muttered everyone while staring at their bodies that were emitting smoke.

Darkness shrouded the sky above the arena building. The place changed like night.

Everyone was trembling and slumping in their respective places. The phenomenon was never imagined even in their nightmares. Makes everyone dizzy.

Who is this guy really? thought everyone.

Jyang Ryu stopped a few hundred meters from the arena building and alighted on the roof of another building. Xie Ma drooped in his arms. The girl's body also emitted dark smoke. So too with his body. He watched the phenomenon with a look of astonishment and horror. Could a divine heirloom awaken such a great power? thought. What is the level of spiritual power? This is so horrible!

That dark fog was now forming a vortex in the sky.

Bao Yu settles slowly to the floor and blinked. His eyelids shook and slowly began to open. And then I realized what was happening. He extended his hand towards Shen Zhu while opening his mouth. But his voice was stuck in his throat and his consciousness was drowning. Makes it feel like it's not in reality.

And before everyone realized what was happening, before everyone could react, a dark shadow darted towards Shen Zhu and fled it out of nowhere. It flew into the high sky and disappeared behind the clouds.

BLAAAASSHH!

The dark fog in the sky was sucked up completely and disappeared with Shen Zhu.

The flames all around the place instantly extinguished. The bubbles slowly decompose and disappear. Everyone landed in their respective places slowly.

The ruins around them look like a fire. The wounded knights suddenly recovered.

Xie Ma had regained consciousness. Jyang Ryu flipped his palms in front of his face in bewilderment and astonishment. He could feel his tired body after the final gamble recovering instantly.

Xie Ma froze beside him, looking up towards the sky with a solemn and haru expression. It suddenly became so calm and firm as if the trauma that had plagued it had never existed.

Jyang Ryu followed his gaze and embraced his shoulder. Then back to the arena.

Bao Hu and Bao Yuwen floated down onto the arena floor, approaching Bao Yu. Their students followed behind him.

The emperors landed with a pushy gaze.

The alliance head and the higher-ups froze with furious expressions as well as shaken.

The knights bowed limp.

The emperors and the sect heads all looked around, exchanging glances with bitter and helpless expressions.

What exactly is going on? They wondered in his heart. But who would dare to question it?

After all the Knight Alliance was in full control of the law. Moreover, they were also the gatekeepers of the border between the human realm and the demon territory. If they were to be disbanded, the demon clan would break through the human realm.

That was what made Bao Yu think nothing of sacrificing himself.

If the alliance higher-ups were to be truly killed today, the border region would be at stake.
