Capítulo 40: Promise (1)
Only Liu and Zuhn remained in the courtyard. Shi Huang was still on the ground from the hit Zuhn delivered to him. Zuhn knew that Liu couldn't kill Shi Huang by herself.
Zuhn sent small messages to her using his mind. When he spoke she could hear him. Of course, she couldn't respond, with her strength.
'Liu, I'm talking to you with a special kind of magic. I don't have time to explain. I will keep my promise and let you kill Shi Huang. Though, he's too powerful for you to kill him alone.'
Liu nodded her head and took out her weapons. She used a long sword, but she also had two small daggers. Zuhn, on the other hand, had a magical dagger. He also had small throwing knives and axes.
'I'll go first and try to weaken him.'
Zuhn pulled out his magical dagger and added a little bit of magic to it. This made the magical dagger transform into a long sword. The long sword was a lot stronger than normal iron ones.
Zuhn then used Five Scar Slash, this sent five hard to see slashes towards Shi Huang. With no effort, Shi Huang blocked the five strikes. Zuhn used the skill again, only this time altered the times of the strikes.
The strikes were predictable, meaning each of them struck at a random time and spot. Four of the strikes were blocked, but the fourth one hit Shi Huang in the leg.
Shi Huang kneeled on the group and brought himself back up. Shi Huang Brought out a long sword from thin air. Zuhn has never seen Shi Huang use a sword.
Meaning Shi Huang was hiding his power just like Zuhn. When Shi Huang took out his sword, it brought his battle power higher. Bring him to Martial Sky Late Stages.
This shocked Zuhn and Liu. They were both Martial Ranked, but not this powerful. Shi Huang was already powerful without the sword. Though, now that he had the sword it made the situation worse.
The sect members watching from around saw the face that their sect leader made. They all knew that the situation became a lot more dangerous. A lot of the sect members moved back a couple more blocks.
'Liu, release your full strength.'
Liu nodded, the pact she made with Zuhn let him control her power. Zuhn completely removed the seal holding her power back. Her original power was a lot stronger than Zuhn.
Releasing her full power made her reach Late Stages just like Shi Huang. Shi Huang after being hit with one of the slashes decided to counter-attack Zuhn.
When Zuhn saw this he raised a small barrier in front of him. He concentrated the power to block the front of him. It could survive a strike from Martial Sky Realm.
Shi Huang sent a strange dark blue light towards Zuhn. The Blue light enveloped Zuhn, screams from Zuhn could be heard from the light. Once the blue light disappeared, Zuhn was one the ground.
Around him was burned grass, Zuhn body was covered bright purple light.
"The true power of Ancient Magic" Shi Huang muttered under his breath.
The purple light that was around Zuhn's whole body turned Zuhn emotionless. No emotion at all, when Liu tried to speak to him he didn't reply.
Zuhn's body was in a state of defense. His mind was tuck away, while his body was protected by a strange magic. The magic was Ancient Magic, the most mysterious magic in the world.
Moments after Zuhn reached this stage, Shi Huang sent multiple strong attacks towards Zuhn's body. Each of the attacks bounced off his body, reflecting the attacks into nearby walls.
Loud explosions sent shockwaves around the courtyard. Shaking the buildings the other sect members were sitting on. Liu took cover with her own barrier to block from the shockwaves.
When the smoke cleared, Zuhn and still unhurt from the attacks. Shi Huang, on the other hand, was tried from using all of the magic for those attacks.
Inside Zuhn's body, he was having a small talk with an Ancient god.
"Zuhn… What a weird name… You come from the planet… Earth? Ah… That's quite rare, explains why you can control this power."
Zuhn came to his senses and listened to the voice. Zuhn opened his eyes and tried to look around. Everyone was pitch black, "Where am I?"
"Oh, You awoke. You definitely are worth it."
A huge eye appeared in front of Zuhn.
Zuhn blinked his eyes a couple of times for the light to adjust. When he was able to see again, a giant blue eye was looking down on him.
"What.?"
"Zuhn Sheng, that's your full name correct?"
Zuhn nodded his head to the question.
"Well, It looks like you about die. The man out there that is attacking you is quite the strange one. Anyway, I jumped in before he killed you."
"What are you?"
"What..? Oh! That's right no one knows who I am anymore. I'm Maximus. Maximus won't be useful to you. Let's just say I was a very powerful magician who created the magic you're using."
"Anywho, You're from Earth, like I was. Let me guess, you were killed and transported to this place?"
Zuhn was shocked, it was the same way he got here.
"Actually, you must have been executed to be here. Meaning you did something, correct?"
Zuhn nodded.
"If I may ask what did you do?"
Zuhn answer truthfully, "I killed lots of people."
"How many?"
"I was killed for killing 106, but I really killed over five hundred."
"Five hundred! At such a young age? What as earth become? Last time I was there we just got over the black plague."
Zuhn was shocked, that was quite some time ago and this man or thing in front of him was from that time period.
"Well, That's enough talk about life for now. Time is stopped outside of your body, so we could talk in here forever. Though, I prefer we get to the good part."
"Zuhn, I would like for you to inherit my legacy and or my powers."
Zuhn almost threw up.
"Ah, Well it's not that easy to gain my powers. For one your not close to being strong enough. Also, you need to build up your body to even handle most of my skills. You are going to need to be at least 8th Step Sky Emperor"
_8th Step Sky Emperor? Never heard of it._
"Well, you're going to die without my help. So, for now, your body can deal with my strength for around five minutes a month. You will be able to control my strength more as you grow stronger."
Zuhn nodded his head again.
"Alright, Please put blood into this."
Zuhn didn't really care about what it was for. Zuhn bit his thumb and let the blood drip on the paper. A loud flash appeared in front of Zuhn. Seconds later he woke up back in his body. Looking directly at Shi Huang.
