《Art of Mortality》Chapter 55: Let Them Come!
Advertisement
Robert unsheathed his sword, spun it into the air, and pointed its tip towards Sunny in flash.
"Ah! If I were Edward, I could've beaten you with my hands tied behind my back. But I'm not him, so I'm gonna take this fight a bit seriously. "
"Who's Edward? Are you telling me there's someone called Edward who's even stronger than you? What's this? Are you trying to scare me with such lies? Do I look like a fool? I could accept you being strong cause you are from the Brown Family. In fact. I know your cousin. He's the top student of our Royal Academy. He talked about you, told me how you were always beneath him. I had never seen you before, but now I can see it with my own eyes, you are still below him."
"You know Dany?", Robert's attitude changed just as his cousin was mentioned. He seemed angry, yet regretful.
"Who in the Royal Academy doesn't know Daniel Brown? In the last two years, he climbed up the ranks in the Royal Academy at an unstoppable pace, and now, he is the top student of the academy. He is the only student in the history of the Royal Academy to reach the Peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm while still being in the age limit of a student. He's only 22, yet he is at the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm. Fascinating, right? By the time he becomes 25 and graduates, he'll have reached the Energy Foundation Realm, and he'll be no weaker than the Royal Academy Principal."
"I see. So he has progressed that far, huh?", Robert said as he shook in anger and frustration.
"Of course he has. Do you think he will be worse than a pathetic loser like you? I've heard all about it, I know how he took your girl. Do you know how much he enjoys telling us about how he fucks her every night? It's so sad she died, now he can't tell us new stories anymore. Ha ha ha", Sunny laughed as he mocked.
"You! Well, forget what I said about being a bit serious, I'm gonna turn you into chewed meat.", Robert said as he charged towards Sunny. He was in a very, very bad mood.

Sunny was also using a sword. Both of them charged as their swords clashed. Just as they clashed, Sunny was blown away several steps while Robert continued his attacks.
Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!
Robert put every bit of his power into his sword as he slashed like a madman. He utilized everything he had learned from Edward, as well as everything he came upon by himself.
Robert quickly slashed once more as blood kept gushing out of Sunny's body. Sunny yelled as he tried to resist and fight back but Robert kept slashing. At a certain point, Sunny got completely mad and made an all-out attack.
"Heart Piercer!", Sunny stabbed his sword toward's Robert's heart as he channeled all his Qi along with the attack. This was an attack with the intent to kill.
Robert didn't dodge. He also attacked without holding anything back. His eyes were grim with a shadow of rage.
"Thousand Slash of Doom!", this was Robert's Ultimate Move, an attack he came up with on his own.
In the blink of an eye, the sword moved an uncountable number of times, as Qi sharpened by the sword also sliced out. It was as if a thousand sword was attacking at the same time.
Sunny's sword was sliced into pieces. His whole body was pierced and slashed. It was full of wounds as he bled profusely. Hinds hands and legs were torn apart. He was turned into a cripple.
"Stop!",At this moment, the Old Man who came with Sunny rushed toward Robert with killing intent. He picked up Sunny from the ground and gave him to one of the southern academy elders.
"Take him to your medicine hall and treat him, or else you shall pay the price!", he shouted.
The elder and a few instructors took Sunny with them as they walked towards the medicine hall. As they went away, the Old Man looked at Robert with flaming eyes.
"How dare you!", he shouted.
"Lad. How dare you injure my disciple so badly? Today, I, Vice-principal Gilbert of the Royal Academy, will cripple you!"
It turns out that the old man who came with Sunny was his master. Not only that, but he was also one of the three vice-principals of the Royal Academy.

"Well, he shouldn't have provoked me with all that mocking, and he definitely shouldn't have mentioned Daniel in front of me.", Robert stood there without backing out.
"Then you die!", vice-principal Gilbert pulled out his sword and slashed at Robert. He really meant to dice him in pieces."
"Stop it!", Old Summer Jumped out to stop the slash, but as he stopped the slash, he was blown away by the force of impact. His sword was bent and twisted, showing how powerful vice-principal Gilbert was.
"You! You, the principal of this pathetic excuse of an academy, with pathetic cultivation of the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation realm, dare to resist against me, who's at the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm? Can you take responsibility for your actions? Or do you want to die?", vice-principal Gilbert was shaking due to anger.
"Even if you are a vice-principal of the Royal Academy, you don't have the right to act like this. They had a battle, and injuries do occur in battle. I know that my student was a bit heavy-handed, but that doesn't give the right to attack him. I'll scold him and punish him later. He is a student of my academy, not yours. You might be at the peak of the Qi accumulation realm, far stronger than me, but I won't back out.", Old Summer said with resolution.
"So, you dare to talk back, do you? Ok then, I'll rip you apart before I cut that brat into pieces.". Vice-principal Gilbert said.
Just as they were about to clash, a wave of Qi hit vice-principal Gilbert as he flew away and crashed into the ground far away. He was lying there like a half-dead man, trying to get up but ended in failure.
Everyone became silent seeing this scene. Old Summer was shocked as he turned to look at the source of the attack. It was from Edward.
All the spectators were speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Old fool, before you touch my friend, make sure you are capable of doing so. If you don't want your head rolling at my feet, leave. Go tend to the wounds of your student. I can see that my partner is in a very bad mood. This has made my mood worse. Now leave, or you will be resting in pieces, below my feet.", Edward said with a raging heavy tone as he slowly walked inside the battle arena.
Robert was shocked and moved. he has never, ever seen Edward this angry. To think Edward got so angry because of him. He was very thankful.
After a while, vice-principal Gilbert finally managed to get up. His body was shaking as he stood up.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the matters of the Royal Academy? Do you dare to challenge the Royal Academy?", he shouted as his voice trembled. He was feeling scared. He could still feel the pain all over his body from Edward's last attack. He looked at Edward as if he saw some kind of a monster.
"I don't know anything about the Royal Academy, but tell them that they are going to lose their top student soon. Tell them that Robert Brown of the Brown Family, along with his friend Edward Alexander, will be coming to kill Daniel Brown, their top student."
"You! You dare to announce such a thing? Do you think you can really fight the Royal Academy all by yourself?", vice-principal Gilbert shouted.
Just as he said that both of his arms suddenly fell off from his shoulder. Blood gushed out from both his shoulders. Edward attacked so swiftly that no one even saw anything except vice-principal Gilbert's arms falling off.
"AAAAH!!! AAAAH!!", he screamed in pain.
Edward turned to some of the elders and said, "Elders, go patch up his wounds. I need him alive to return to the Royal Academy and send my warning to Daniel. He needs to tell Daniel that his countdown has begun. Robert, you come with me. You have to tell me everything you were hiding from me. I have already got a hint on the situation, but I need to hear it from yourself."
The elders carried vice-principal Gilbert away as Edward and Robert started walking out of the arena.
Just as they were about to leave, Edward turned back to say a few more words.
"If you guys are worrying about the Royal Academy seeking revenge, leave everything to me. Let Them Come!"
