The Black Market Chapter 183 - Slashed in Half

Cale glanced at the scene and recalled what had happened to his home planet, Earth. The scene of pure carnage when the Avran race invaded their planet resurfaced in his mind like a torrent of water.

He then equipped his Void Wolf Immortal set equipment and charged towards Blood One who was currently engaged in a fight with Old Zhang and the Grand Commander Ling Tian. 

"Old Zhang, Grand Commander, he is my opponent. Help the others out." Cale said in a cold voice as he glared at Blood One. He trusted the emperor's strength and if ever he could not defeat the third prince, then he could just lend him a hand. 

The old guild leader and the grand commander nodded their heads at Cale in response before they turned helped the other experts fight with Blood Two and Blood Three. Cale's servants also joined the fight, making the battle even more intense.

Blood Two and Blood Three might be peak stage Immortal-Class level experts, but even with their strengths, they could still not take on so many top experts at once.

Cale brandished his Void Wolf Immortal Sword and swung it towards Blood One who was now looking at Cale warily. It could not be helped, the person in front of him had defeated the notorious Beast King who had caused major unrest throughout the whole of the Celestial Sword Empire for many decades. Even Blood One himself was not sure if he could defeat the Beast King.

Blood One raised his arms and parried Cale's attack with his sword. 

"Claaangg!" A violent clanging sound resounded when their swords clashed causing small snake-like sparks to be produced.

Blood One was pushed back several meters away while Cale remained unmoved in his spot. The difference in their strengths was clear to see...

"Duke Cale, you're indeed as strong as the rumors say, but I haven't used my full strength yet!" Blood One snarled angrily. He felt humiliated that he was pushed back in their frontal battle. Besides, he was telling the truth when he said that he hasn't used his full strength yet. 

Blood One attacked Cale with a wild swing of his sword.

Cale calmly raised his Void Wolf Immortal Shield to block the attack. 

Dull clanging sounds echoed out as all of Blood One's slashes were blocked by Cale's Void Wolf Immortal Shield.

With a nonchalant look on his face, Cale cast a mocking look at Blood One. The latter was indeed strong. In fact, he was just a tad weaker than the Beast King, but Cale's strength did not remain stagnant after that fight with the Beast King. Although his cultivation level remained the same, his understanding of the Devil Arcanum Sword Movement became deeper. Furthermore, he had also fully assimilated his Advanced Sword Intent, Heart of Sword.

Blood One was full of rage after seeing Cale's mocking glance, but he was inwardly surprised at the strength that Cale has shown. 

He decided to no longer hold back his strength. With that in mind, Blood One icily stared at Cale while slashing his sword at him. His movements became more erratic and harder to predict. Furthermore, his speed also increased by a little more than twice! 

Cale calmly watched the events unfold in front of him. The increase of Blood One's strength surprised him a bit. "Since that's the case. I shall not hold back anymore. First Sword Movement, Roaring Dragon Slash!"

A huge dragon phantom materialized in midair. It looked corporeal and imposing, even its dragon might felt very realistic.

Its appearance brought a series of exclamations among everyone on the battlefield. 

The Celestial Sword Empire's soldiers became ecstatic when they saw the dragon phantom. They knew that it was Cale who had summoned the dragon phantom. They saw its might during the battle against the beast tide. It had even devoured countless ferocious savage beast in one fell swoop! 

The dragon phantom released an earth-shaking roar that reverberated within the entirety of Blue Cloud City. 

"Rooaaarrr!"

Cale directed the dragon phantom towards Blood One who was now feeling an intense amount of dread in his heart.

Blood One might be strong, but he didn't have the Beast King's savage beast body. Blood One howled angrily and slashed his sword with all his strength in a bid to destroy the dragon phantom.

"Baaanngg!"

Blood One was hurtled away after the loud explosion. His body had wounds with varying sizes and his left shoulder was a bloody mess. Furthermore, his left arm was no longer attached to his body.

His sorry figure landed on the ground with a loud bang, creating a small crater on the ground.

The battlefield turned deathly silent as they watched Cale as he slowly descended towards the small crater were Blood One was thrown. 

Cale swept his glance on Blood One who was struggling to crawl out of the crater.

"You have great potential, but you served the wrong master." Cale muttered silently as he raised his Void Wolf Immortal Sword.

"Noo! Duke Cale, I beg you. Please don't kill me!" Blood One used his remaining strength to plead for mercy. He didn't want to die just like that.

Cale remained unmoved and he then stabbed Blood One's body with his sword. His Void Wolf Immortal Sword was thick and huge, causing Blood One to be slashed into two. His upper body struggled for a brief moment before he breathed his last.

Everyone saw the scene as they stood rooted in their spots. A peak stage Immortal-Class level expert died just like that? Did Duke Cale reach another breakthrough, causing his strength to increase by several times? Everyone was puzzled and surprised as they looked at Cale with their ever-changing expressions.

The third prince felt a cold breeze blowing on his neck after seeing the death of his strongest servant. 

"Impossible! You're not someone from Shura! Who are you?!" Amro fearfully glanced at Cale. His calm visage can no longer be seen. Heck! Even he could not defeat Blood One so easily!

Amro thought that Cale was someone from the Immortal realm after seeing his overpowering might. In fact, it was not just him. Everyone believed that Cale must be a young junior disciple from the Immortal Realm.

Cale shook his head amidst everyone's curious glances.

"Third Prince Amro, surrender now." Cale said while staring straight at Amro.

The latter's fearful look turned malicious as he stared back at Cale. "You! You destroyed all of my plans! If not for you, I would have long since become the Celestial Sword Empire's emperor!!" 

Cale's eyes became cold, but he still glanced at the emperor to seek his opinion. He was after all the emperor of the empire.

Emperor Aventus saw that Cale was looking at him. He understood his glance and he could not help but sigh weakly in his heart. He then turned to look at Amro, his eyes becoming distant and firm. "Third Prince, you've disappointed the Celestial Sword Empire. Only death awaits you now..."

Cale nodded his head approvingly after seeing the decisive actions of the emperor. "Allow me to kill him, your majesty." Cale said calmly. He knew that the emperor would feel hesitant, so he volunteered to do the dirty work. Besides, he was not willing to see the emperor kill his own son. It would be much better if he was the one who would do it.
