Thus, the three of them moved across the Heaven Sect, heading straight towards the citadel at the very center of the nation. If he was barricaded, Rui had already decided to break through with force.
He didn't have time to deal with any more nonsense.
Ordinarily, he would have appreciated the sect and its structure. He would have appreciated the extensive investment in Martial Art and a level of heaven-bending that far surpassed what he himself possessed.
He would have appreciated how smooth their Martial Artists' skywalking was, achieving the nimbleness of a cat while stepping on air. He would have appreciated it a lot if he wasn't in an irritated mood, although he didn't let it appear on his face.
STEP
They arrived before the enormous citadel.
It was a massive structure, about as large as a small mountain, spanning a city in its area. From what he knew of the structure, it functioned as the central governing body of the Heaven Sect.
There were two Martial Masters in front, guarding the gates. Their heads remained raised while their gazes inclined down on him as he approached the massive gates.
They waited, clearly expecting a request to open the gate, which they were ordered to oblige.
But Rui had no intention of offering them a modicum of respect.
BANG!!!
A thundering and blindingly fast blow blasted the gate open before the two Masters could even react.
"You bastard!" "How dare you?"
They took one step towards him with the intention of apprehending him. That was a mistake.
POW POW!
All it took was two blows to the jaws.
THUD
Rui's unstoppable ascent only halted when a heavy presence bore down on the world as heaven and earth warped under the weight of their presence.
"Enough."
A Martial Sage descended before Rui with a displeased expression.
The man had a greatsword resting in a scabbard on his back, attached to the loose Martial attire woven from golden, white, and silver silk that draped around his body lightly. His long, flowing blue hair was uncommon, giving his presence an eye-drawing luster to it. He simply looked down on Rui with quiet condescension, shifting his gaze to the ten Martial Masters that Rui had effortlessly knocked out and the gate that he has blasted open.
"You have committed numerous crimes," the Sage began with a displeased tone. "With the authority vested in me as the standing Sage guarding the citadel, I hereby exercise my right to inflict immediate punishment and hereby sentence you to..."
His eyes flared with bloodlust. "...Execution."
Chills crawled across the Blood Goddess' skin as she gritted her teeth at the grave severity of the situation while Amare looked worried and exasperated.
And yet, Rui was unfazed. A chilling smile emerged on his face.
"Execute me if you're strong enough."
His tone reflected his absolute confidence.
He took his stance.
"Execute me if you can survive the consequences."
His smile grew mischievous.
The consequences for the Heaven Sect would be devastating. What had happened to the Nest of Terra had already become common knowledge in the political sphere, as well as the message that the Emperor of Harmony sent to all his fellow powerhouse leaders.
Laying a hand on his son would have consequences, even if the outcome didn't go for the worst.
The Martial Sage was clearly aware of this.
He gritted his teeth as he saw Rui openly accept the challenge without even the slightest hesitation. He had expected that the Dawnbringer would grovel and beg for his life, and then they could use that as leverage to squeeze his priceless gifts out of him free of cost without needing to make any commitments on their side.
Unfortunately, the Dawnbringer appeared to feigning confidence from the perspective of the Martial Sage due to the awareness of his political protection.
The Martial Sage's rationality and arrogance collided with each other as he struggled to decide whether he ought to execute Rui then and there. -
