Divinity

Half Step Lord

"Bia Ginze, your punishment hall will one day bow down to my Tang clan, even your clan leader would die by our hands someday"

Tang Ji shouted the ground around him started to turn sticky as if creating a field of mud. This was an attempt to slow down the movements if Bia Ginze advancement.

"The Tang clan should've sent someone else who's more capable. Today none a of you shall escape this place alive"

Bia Ginze shouted as he raises his hand up, flames burst forth as the sky was filled with flaming birds. These birds numbered in the hundreds and were bright red in color.

"Birds nest"

Bia Ginze became a blur in the nest of firebirds, anywhere he passed by, burned flesh could be smelt. The members of the Gue tribe were now in a sorry state with the revealing of Bia Ginze true identity.

Being a warrior at the 10th level of the true master's realm, it was no exaggeration to say that he was one step or would say had one foot in the Lord's realm. This type of battle power would be welcome anywhere within the surrounding area of the three great clans.

So even if Tang Ji and the others were warriors at day 8 or 9th level of the true master's realm, it would make no difference whatever. Do it sounded like one or two difference between levels, one had to condense a large amount of spiritual energy in order to maximize their dantian capacity in order to make a breakthrough into the next level.

The amount of energy needed for a breakthrough to a mixed level was massive one had to continually build up energy inside of their dantian by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth as well as taking numerous resources such as pills, herbs, and the likes.

Bia Ginze flashed behind Tang Ji who took out a long sword that was shining with a brown light, the blade held a sharp presence that made one's heart rate race.

"Die"

Tang Ji chopped behind him in a ruthless fashion, the ground below his feet exploded into pieces, pulling his body down below.

"Burn"

Bang

Flames exploded in front of Bia Ginze as flame and sword met. If one looked down below, they would see that two hands were firmly locked around Tang Ji's legs pulling him underground.

Spikes flew out of the ground all around him, Bia and Gue warriors were killed from all corners as these spikes fly out. This was on an attack by the second person who had accompanied Tang Ji to the Gue tribe.

He was also someone that was within the true master realm but he was a little stronger than Tang Ji and was at the 9th level. His name was Tang Lin and he also practiced in the earthen arts as well.

"Son of a"

Bia Ginze was caught off guard, he didn't know that there were two of them and that one was hiding right below them all this time. He twisted his body as he dodges the spike, he retreated several steps back then he kicks a broad shield that was laying on the ground towards his front.

"Bia Ginze, you have won this ground. But remember, my Tang clan is everywhere"

Tang Ji's voice could be heard from under the ground as it slowly started to fade away. Bia Ginze gazed around him watching the bodies of countless people laying in a pool of blood.

"Gue tribe's men, retreat now or face death"

Bia Ginze's aura started to rise as his body started to float up into the air. This is the great ability to reach a high level of cultivation, once a person stepped into the Lord Realm, then they would have the ability to manipulate the air current around them using their spiritual energy. 

Once they do this, they would be able to fly in the sky like a beast rooming the great heavens. Though Bia Ginze wasn't in the Lord's realm, he had one foot into that realm and had already begun to comprehend the principles of air current manipulation. Thus, for the time being, he was able to float off the ground and move around for a short period of 10 minutes before he had to Land back on the ground again.

"He's flying"

"He's stronger than the tribal leader, retreat"

"Retreat"

The members of the Gue tribe started to make a hasty retreat towards their camps. Intel on the battlefield had already been sent back to both sides a long time ago.

The  Gue tribal leader, Gue Shen was already making his way towards the battlefield but change his mind when he heard about the battle power of Bia Ginze.

Their main clan also had a punishment hall as well but they hadn't requested any assistance from their main clan at all. He didn't want to involve the main clan in the secret affairs they were having with the Tang clan. This would leave a bad taste in their mouths and it would affect the future progress and ruling of the Gue tribe.

"Damn it, who would have thought that the Bia tribe had such an expert hiding within their grounds for so long. Damn it"

Gue Shen bounded a tree as it shattered into several pieces. His anger could be felt from a mile away, his eyes red with hate as he thought about the wasted deaths that took place over the past weekdays.

It was also at this moment that he senses several youths rushing in his direction, the first thing that came to mind was that they were retreating due to the one-sided killing that was now currently going on or would start to happen.

"Wait isn't that the group that Gue man was leading"

Gue Shen started to frown as he recognizes this group of young youths because he was the one that assigned this group, as a matter of fact, he was the one that assigned all groups of the younger generation because he wanted to ensure that there wasn't any mishap or any unforeseen deaths of the young geniuses that is tribe was raising.

"Tribe leader Gue Shen, Gue Dan greets you"

After Gue Man died, he was made captain due to the chain of command that Gue Shen had set up before they departed. His strength was the same as Gue Man's and was at the 5th level of the meridians opening realm but just a tad weaker but not by for.

"Rise, where's Gue Man, what happened"

Gue Shen had a bad feeling coming on, this youth Gue Dan would only be the leader once Gue Man was either busy coming the back while they retreat or dead. He was hoping that it was the former and not the latter.

"We're sorry leader Gue Shen, Gue man as fallen in battle. He was killed by that kid name Bia Xiao, he's not dead. Other than that, he's not trash like the rumors stated but someone who's able to kill Gue man with ease and chase us all down to kill us"

The youth Gue Dan made a brief outline of what happened on the battlefield, he didn't leave out a thing as he even mentioned how Bia Xiao had brutally killed one of their own.

"He also uses water elemental arts that weren't noted, he also carries a spear that his very strange, it's able to fly on its own"

Gue Dan made his final report while on one knee, he was sweating all over because he could sense the rage building up inside if Gue Shen. If he were to make one mistake or hold anything back, then there was a possibility that he could be crushed to death in no time.

"Those bastards tricks us all these years, the body wasn't a trash, he was being taken care of by his tribe all this time. He was their trump card all along to spark this war"

Gue Shen made up is own assumptions to bring reason to the situation they were currently in. If Bia Xiao was truly trash, he should have been killed by that river and wouldn't appear 1 year after with such strength.

"He even hid away for a full year, buying his time. Truly a patient bunch the Bia are"

Gue Shen huffed with a beat red face, he felt as if he was made a fool of and he wanted to kill something or somebody at this moment. Now, even the Bia tribe and their main clan had found out about their dealings with the Tang clan, if words if this reaches the main clan then they would be in big trouble if they couldn't give a satisfying answer.

Maybe they would have to give up on the treasure that they had in mind that was hiding away below the Bia tribe's grounds.

"Retreat, for now, Gue Man's death will not be for nothing'

Gue Shen waved his hand as he turned and left.
