Chapter 360: Before the Storm

Fei stood on the central sword peak and glanced down at St. Petersburg; the light dots in the city looked like the stars. When these light dots connected with the actual stars in the sky, they created a very beautiful image.

Krasic’s body turned into dust, and the wind helped him to cover the land of Zenit.

The way he ended his life was just as earnest as how he served the people of Zenit. Ever since he was known to the people of Zenit, he had been serving them. Didn’t matter if it was the rebellion incident 26 years ago or how he lived on Martial Saint Mountain quietly for the last 20 years, they all showed how much he loved his country Zenit.

Perhaps everyone knew that the Martial Saint Battle tonight would determine the future of the empire, and every household in St. Petersburg was awake. St. Petersburg was very bright, and even the camp area outside the Capital was lit.

Would these people know that a Martial Saint died for them on the central sword peak?

Fei vaguely heard the cheers coming from the bottom of the mountain, and a smirk that he didn’t even understand appeared on his face. “Are they cheering for Emperor Yassin who just showcased his powerful [Dragon Fist]? Do they even know that a real Martial Saint died at this moment?”

Soon, the king got rid of his negative emotions.

“The three of them were knocked off of the Griffins by the [Dragon Fist], and they are now still in St. Petersburg. They must be still alive as they are Moon-Class Elites, and they are hiding somewhere now…… I will find them! And I will kill each one of them!”

Fei looked down at the four 10-centimeter green spikes in his hands; these were the items that Krasic used to cast [Energy Channel Radical Revival Forbidden Technique]. After Krasic’s body turned into dust, these four spikes remained.

“I will fu*king push these spikes through the hearts of Huntelaar, Costakarta, and Amauri!…… I will penetrate the hearts of the royals of the Jax Empire, Eindhoven Empire, and Spartax Empire! I will make them pay for what they did!”

Fei looked at the sky and shouted.

“When I master my warrior’s cultivation path, no war nor tragedy shall fall on places where Krasic’s ashes have covered!”

……

Fei went back to the entrance of the central sword peak, and he completely calmed down; no sadness nor anger could be seen on his face.

Except for the 40 warriors from Martial Saint Mountain, there were still some master warriors from the affiliated kingdoms.

There were 25 master warriors from the affiliated kingdoms who got the opportunity to watch this Martial Saint Battle. However, two of them weren’t able to make it since they couldn’t get through the chain bridges, two of them died in the battle with the warriors from Spartax, and six of them decided to join either Arshavin or Dominguez’s side. Right now, there were only 15 of them left.

Most of them were warriors who made it into the top 10; there were warriors like [Silver Armored Vicious Sword], beautiful Magic Princess Cindy, and [Wind Fire Dual Warriors].

They were all saddened by the fact that the Martial Saint didn’t return with Fei.

They already guessed the result when they saw Krasic stagger and bleed that much. However, they were still very disappointed by the fact that their guesses came true. Perhaps as members of affiliated kingdoms, they could sense the importance of the Martial Saint in first hand; without Krasic on Martial Saint Mountain, many affiliated kingdoms would have started wars against each other.

“Your Majesty!” After seeing Fei’s return, the 40 warriors from Martial Saint Mountain all single-kneeled down and said, “We will follow the order of the Martial Saint, and we will be under your command!”

Fei was a little surprised, but he soon understood the situation.

This was probably something Krasic arranged before the Martial Saint Battle.

This was the reason why Krasic said that there won’t be a Martial Saint of Zenit after tonight. In fact, Martial Saint Mountain would even be deserted from now on; no trace of Krasic would be left!

Among the 40 warriors, the most powerful person was the average-looking young man. Surprisingly, Fei realized that this man’s strength was at the peak of Seven-Star. This man was very young, and he was a much more talented genius compared to [One Sword] and Magic Princess Cindy. All other 39 warriors were between Four-Star and Six-Star; there were four Six-Star Warriors among them.

These warriors combined was a powerful and terrifying force in Zenit.

Never in Fei’s dreams would he thought that Krasic would pass such a force into his hands. What would Emperor Yassin and other big families think after they knew that Fei was in control of such a force that could threaten the peace of the empire?

Fei didn’t care. As someone who would lick the popsicle stick more than ten times after eating the popsicle, he would never reject such a generous gift. Since this was arranged by Krasic, Fei didn’t think that there was a trick behind this, and he didn’t doubt the loyalty of these people at all. After all, Krasic was the Martial Saint who resided on Martial Saint Mountain for the last 26 years, and he was definitely able to take care of all the little problems.

Because Fei completely trusted Krasic, he completely trusted these 40 warriors from Martial Saint Mountain.

This incident made all the master warriors who weren’t from Chambord a little scared.

In their minds, the king of Chambord was already powerful enough. In the battle today, King Alexander battled with Costakarta, who was a powerful Moon-Class Elite, for more than ten minutes, and he wasn’t even in a disadvantage. In comparison, masters like Magic Princess Cindy, [One Sword], and Shevchenko couldn’t even help in that situation; the residual energy that leaked out of the battle between Fei and Costakarta would injure them severely!

If some people thought that Fei became the champion in the competition because the semi-final between Shevchenko and [One Sword] was too ferocious and made them lost a lot of strength beforehand, it at least made some sense. But after seeing this battle, only idiots would think that way now. After tonight, even the haughty [One Sword] had to admit that the king of Chambord was too far ahead of them. It would be a joke to say that they could rival with the king of Chambord; they couldn’t even see his back on the path of cultivation since he was so far away.

For a moment, only the master warriors from the other affiliated kingdoms knew how inferior and lonely they felt.

Everyone knew that the king of Chambord was way too powerful now. After he got the 40 warriors from Martial Saint Mountain, he was on the same level as Arshavin and Dominguez; he was only a little bit inferior to Emperor Yassin. From now on, the situation at Zenit could change just because an idea popped up in the king of Chambord’s head.

“Let’s go!”

Fei said after he turned around and took a good look at the relics and the stone pillar that got destroyed. He memorized this scene, and he walked down the path without looking back.

……

When the golden sun climbed above the Moro Mountains that was quite far away and spread the sunshine across the land, the new day began.

After the cold winter night passed, everyone in the Capital knew what happened on Martial Saint Mountain last night.

No.1 Swordsman Huntelaar from the Jax Empire sneak-attacked Martial Saint Krasic!

No.1 General Costakarta from the Eindhoven Empire lost his honor and participated in the dirty trap designed to kill Martial Saint Krasic!

A Moon-Class Elite from the Spartax Empire sneaked into Zenit and tried to assassinate Martial Saint Krasic!

The king of Chambord battled with a Moon-Class Elite!

Martial Saint Krasic battle against the four Moon-Class Elites…… Martial Saint Krasic killed Martial Saint Lkunta, and he defeated Huntelaar, Costakarta, and Amauri afterward…… Martial Saint Krasic was severely injured as well and passed away!

Emperor Yassin was infuriated and used [Dragon Fist] in the Royal Palace. He knocked the three Moon-Class Elites who wanted to escape off their Griffins!

All kinds of news spread around the Capital and completely recreated the storyline.

Originally, Fei thought that the Martial Saint Battle involved confidential information and the officials would try to cover it up. To his surprise, the news got around really fast! Although everyone was curious and paid a lot of attention to this battle, Fei was sure that the officials at Zenit helped with the spreading of the information.

“Why would the officials want to disclose such matter to the public? There is a lot of confidential information tied to this……” Fei thought.

The current situation for Zenit was bad. In the southern regions of Zenit, [Zenit’s God of War] Arshavin was still battling with the invaders. After a few successful battles and just as Arshavin was about to push all the invaders out of Zenit’s territory, the Spartax Empire sent out their best general – Marchisio. This man stopped the losing streaks of Spartax and gradually evened out the record.
