"Hmm?"

Both Jun Hao and Shin Tao frowned in confusion.

Although that voice sounded rather familiar, the two of them were not certain.

Rather, that person should have been dead.

Could he have ventured into the depths of the ancient battlefield and yet returned alive?

"[Reptilian] Who's going there?! Identify yourself!"

The white-robed martial artist's slightly bulged eyes shifted and his expression turned grim with killing intent.

Right after, his eyes flashed with confusion as well.

That voice did not come from the cave abode. From the sound of it, it seemed like it came from far, far away. Possibly from outside the city limits!

That was the confusing portion.

If he was miles away, how could he have heard their conversation in the cave abode?

Was his hearing that powerful?

Could omnipresent hearing truly exist in the world?

All of a sudden!

The sound of clothes fluttering sounded, approaching from afar at an extremely fast speed – it was as though it arrived at the cave abode's entrance in the blink of an eye, tearing through the fabric of space itself!

"What a swift movement technique!"

The white-robed martial artist's heart skipped a beat as he turned to glare at the tunnel.

It was the same for Jun Hao and Shin Tao – both of them wanted to know if it was that man who had arrived!

Before long, a green figure appeared in the tunnel, striding over with steady footsteps. Although he looked calm, there was an indescribable aura around him!

The intruder had elegant features, looking like a scholar – it was Aiden who had rushed over from Ugburg City.

Jun Hao's eyes narrowed with cold killing intent as he declared hatefully.

"[Reptilian] It's truly you!"

"[Reptilian] Huh? You're not dead?"

Shin Tao's mouth was slightly agape as he uttered in disbelief.

Aiden's expression was calm as he swept his gaze past the two of them without pausing.

Right after, he looked at the mighty corpse that was ramming against the stone chamber and his eyes flashed. Raising his brow, he seemed to have recalled something.

He paused for a brief moment before fixing his gaze on the white-robed martial artist.

After entering the cave abode, Aiden did not say anything and merely surveyed his surroundings.

However, for some unknown reason, that simple act of his caused the white-robed martial artist to feel an unprecedented sense of pressure!

Aiden's eyes were bright and deep. His gaze was nonchalant and it seemed like he could control everything with a single look!

Even without saying anything, he was exuding a dominance that surpassed everything!

It was an aura that could not be faked.

This was something that was created through the corpses and blood of countless paragons and was revealed subconsciously!

The white-robed martial artist was expressionless but he felt uneasy. Suddenly, he retreated a couple of steps back and shouted softly. "Come back!"

The corpse came to a sudden halt and paused for a moment before taking huge strides towards the white-robed martial artist. It stood beside the latter and glared at Aiden murderously.

By now, the wounds inflicted by the killing formation had already formed scabs and were no longer bleeding.

"[Reptilian] Senior Brother, this man is who I have talked about, the one they call 'Aiden'!"

Jun Hao commented hurriedly. "[Reptilian] He's the one who injured your battle corpse! The killing formation outside the stone chamber was also set up by him!"

The white-robed martial artist did not say anything and merely glared at Aiden with a grim expression.

Indifferently, Aiden said.

"[Reptilian] One of the five fiendish powers of this forlorn world. Necromancers I presume… What are you called here… oh yes, the 'Corpse Refinement Cult'."

After his long stay with the Azure Myst Sect, he gained a good understanding of the various factions on this world thanks to Tai Liu and the others. As such, he recognized the white-robed martial artist's background instantly.

Corpse Refinement Cult martial artists were extremely recognizable as they would always bring along a battle corpse that they refined using their sect's secret skills to fight for them.

Looking at the white-robed martial artist, Aiden asked with a fake smile. "Since you were bragging about how strong you were earlier on, why didn't you go take on the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island beneath the Ancient One's Palace?"

The white-robed martial artist's expression turned terrible.

Naturally, he wanted to fight for the Ancient One's inheritance when the Ancient One's Palace appeared as well.

His battle corpse was invincible against weapons and could not be damaged by water or fire. In terms of strength, it was no weaker than level eight Martial Knight realm martial artists.

However, Corpse Refinement Cult martial artists had a fatal weakness.

Compared to their mighty battle corpses, they were not strong. If they lost the protection of their battle corpse, they would most definitely die against level eight Martial Knight realm warrior!

Paragons from all over the place were gathered beneath the Ancient One's Palace.

Needless to think, it would definitely be an unprecedented battle royale.

There was no way his battle corpse would be able to protect him entirely in that sort of battle royale and it would be hard for him to survive!

After hesitating for a long time, the white-robed martial artist decided to give up on the Ancient One's Palace.

Later on, it was proven that his decision was the right one as well.

It was said that almost half the paragons who fought in that bloodied battle beneath the Ancient One's Palace were dead and most of them were crippled! It was extremely tragic!

The white-robed martial artist harrumphed coldly. "[Reptilian] It was a battle royale beneath the Ancient One's Palace. If it was a one-on-one battle, the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island might not be my match!"

"[Reptilian] Oh?"

Aiden raised his brow.

"[Reptilian] Who are you? What sect are you from?"

The white-robed martial artist asked instead.

Jun Hao explained hurriedly. "[Reptilian] Don't worry, Senior Brother Li, this man has no big power or sect behind him. He is merely a vagrant and he has no backing! He was merely at the level four of the Martial Knight realm half a year ago."

Compared to factions such as super sects and the five heretical doctrines, Ethereal Peak could truly only be considered as a small sect.

The white-robed martial artist frowned slightly when he heard Jun Hao's words.

If this guy was at the level four of the Martial Knight realm half a year ago, even if he had heavenly-defying talent and made use of the legendary Breakthrough Elixir he supposedly found in the Ancient Burial Grounds, he would only be at level seven Martial Knight realm at best.

In the worst-case scenario, even if he was at level eight Martial Knight realm, so what?

This was someone from a small sect without any backing.

The foundations of small sects were not strong and they had limited secret skills – how strong could this guy be?

Could he have judged wrongly?

Gradually, the white-robed martial artist's expression turned cold as he waved his hand. "[Reptilian] Go, check out the skills of this fellow Daoist!"

The corpse acknowledged by roaring with a torrential aura before charging over in huge strides.

Compared to the tall and mighty corpse, Aiden could be considered as a thin weakling. It seemed as though he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single push of the corpse's finger!

However, Aiden's expression was unchanged and he merely smiled against the incoming corpse.

*Clang!*

Unknowingly, an ebony-colored long and thick blade had already appeared in his hands.

The saber trembled with a torrential wild energy!

"[Reptilian] Test my skills, you say?"

With a razor-sharp gaze, Aiden said coolly. "[Reptilian] Heh… Test it with your life you old b*stard!"

*Boom!*action

Before his words were finished, Aiden had already made a huge strike!

The moment his strike landed, a series of dense cracks appeared on the ground beneath him.

In a split second, the entire place shook and the cave abode quaked violently. Dust filled the place continuously and it seemed like the cave could topple at any moment!

Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.

Aiden channeled his internal spirit power energy and instantly, the raging tide of essence in his core surged and created terrifying waves!

One after another, spirit meridians shone brightly beneath his green robes as spirit energy surged rampantly.

"[Reptilian] This! This is level eight of the Martial Knight realm!"

Jun Hao and Shin Tao were astonished as they exclaimed.

*Swoosh!*

Aiden slashed out and a blood beam expanded, landing on the head of the corpse like a blazing blood sun!

The corpse could not dodge in time and could only tilt its head slightly.

"Pfft!"

Rygintarth sliced down along the corpse's shoulder and cut downwards heavily!

Its blade let out a jarring sound as it sliced through the muscles and bones, as though it was cutting a metallic object.

Gooey, filthy blood gushed out.

That slash almost cut the corpse into two halves!

Rygintarth only slowed down in its tracks after cutting into the corpse's chest.

After it was blocked by Rygintarth, the corpse could barely advance.

Although Aiden seemed frail and skinny, a casual slash from him was enough to send forth a shuddering power that even the corpse that was invulnerable against weapons, water, and fire could not withstand!

The white-robed martial artist's expression turned paler as his figure swayed for a moment.
