His heart filled with fear, Kartis Man trembled as he turned his head, casting a pleading look at Kartis Kai.
"Sorry, you lost."
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, a figure stepped forward slowly, lightly tossing an void realm stone in his hand, his expression calm.
Kartis Kai stared at Kartis Man''s blood covered face in shock, clearly still reeling from the recent events.
"Mission aplished," ze Regret said with a smile, turning his gaze to his father ze Ash.
"How is this possible..."
Kartis Kai staggered, and then an overwhelming killing intent erupted from his body. His face twisted with rage, "Boy, you''re ruthless! How dare you injure Kartis Man like this!"
His angry voice echoed as he waved his sleeve, and an imposing Thunder Steed charged out. The Thunder Steed, about ten feet in size, had dark lightning flickering across its body.
A Demon Thunder Steed?!
Many of the ze family members'' expressions changed. Kartis Kai was attacking ze Regret!
The ferocious Demon Thunder Steed, stepping on dark thunderclouds, charged violently toward ze Regret. Wherever it passed, ck streaks appeared in the air, marks left by the demonic lightning.
The terrifying energy of the lightning surged, making ze Regret''s skin prickle with pain. Cursing under his breath, he quickly tried to mobilize his inner spiritual energy to use the me Step technique. But to his horror, he discovered that his spiritual energy was somehow obstructed, and its flow had slowed down significantly!
This Demon Thunder Steed, just by its sheer presence, had him firmly suppressed. It was clear that its strength was far beyond the Imperial level!
"Damn, it''s at the Lord level!"
ze Regret gritted his teeth. No wonder the Kartis family was such a powerful family. Even an ordinary elder had the strength of a Spirit Lord, enough to be the head of a family in Veloria City!
As thoughts raced through his mind, the Demon Thunder Steed had already reached him. Its hooves, charged with dark lightning, were poised to stomp through his chest!
"Kartis Kai, how dare you attack a member of my ze family! Do you think we are easy targets?"
A cold shout rang out, followed by mes sweeping in like a red cloud. They struck the Demon Thunder Steed, sending it flying dozens of feet away.
The energy released from the collision made ze Regret''s nose and mouth bleed, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open, with fissures rapidly spreading.
Using the force of the shockwave, ze Regret quickly retreated, stepping back dozens of times before stabilizing himself. His gaze was extremely serious; a Lord level spirit beast was indeed formidable. Just the aftershock of the collision was enough to instantly kill the top spirit novice.
If either side had used a spirit technique just now, he would have been reduced to bones!
After colliding with the imposing Fire Spirit Lion, the Demon Thunder Steed, surrounded by ck lightning, quickly separated. It was only a fourth rank lord, while the Fire Spirit Lion was a seventh rank lord. Continuing the fight would only lead to its own death!
"The Kartis family is truly bing more and more degenerate. I wonder if Kartis Bob also engages in such bullying tactics in the central empire," ze Ash said coldly, ncing at ze Regret to ensure he was unharmed.
Seeing the murderous intent flickering in ze Regret''s eyes, Kartis Kai clenched his fist tightly. After a moment, he slowly released it, knowing that today he could not seek justice for Kartis Man.
If it weren''t for the family head''s orders not to act rashly, he would have already brought people to tten this ce!
With resentment in his heart, Kartis Kai walked toward Kartis Man. He ced a healing pill in Kartis Man''s mouth and was about to lead him away from the square.
"Wait a moment!"
At that moment, ze Regret suddenly shouted.
Under the gaze of astonished onlookers, ze Regret quickly walked toward Kartis Man, his speed causing fear to sh in Kartis Man''s eyes once again.
He was already terrified of ze Regret!
"Don''t worry, I won''t hit you today."
Seemingly to reassure Kartis Man, ze Regret reached inside Kartis Man''s clothes. After a bit of searching, he pulled out a fiery red book.
A spirit technique, "Sun me Wall"!
"Father, this doesn''t count as breaking the rules, right?"
ze Regret scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed as he nced at ze Ash. Then, with a flick of his void realms stone, a fiery red light orb flew out andnded in his left hand.
Each person who enters the Treasure Pavilion can only choose one item, so ze Regret ''borrowed'' Kartis Man to take out an extra spirit technique.
"You little rascal." ze Ash shook his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, then waved his hand, clearly in a good mood. "Alright, just this once. No one is allowed to imitate this in the future!"
Hearing this, the nsmen in the square all chuckled.
Kartis Man, who was being carried by Kartis Kai, nearly cked out and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
He finally realized just how much of a rascal ze Regret truly was!
In the courtyard, ze Regretzily leaned against the tree trunk, a void realms stone dancing rhythmically between his fingers.
"I thought everyone in the Kartis family was filthy rich, but it turns out they''re poorer than me."
With disdain, ze Regret put away Kartis Man''s void realms stone and took out two books radiating a fiery red glow. They were the Sunfire Finger and the Sun me Wall.
"Master Magi, do spiritual arts have levels?" ze Regret asked.
Appearing on the tree branch, Master Magi held a broad leaf and, with a ghostly presence, began to exin slowly.
Unlike spiritual skills, spiritual arts do not have strict power ssifications. They grow stronger with the spiritual master''s progress. Moreover, the more potent the master''s spiritual energy, the greater the power of the spiritual arts.
With ze Regret''s current strength, if he were to use the Sunfire Finger, it could prate the body of an eighth rank high level novice ss spiritual beast. On the other hand, the Sun me Wall could withstand a full force attack from a ninth rank high level novice ss spiritual beast.
