"Beauty you can do any... eh? What's going on? Argh----!" Before he could finish his statement, he screamed as the female bit onto his neck harshly while sucking.
Slurp! "What are you? Argghh!" As he tried to resist, he realized that he couldn't move any part of his body. Soon, his skin started to grow pale as a green light shade that looked similar to the man flowed from within his body towards the mouth of the female and quickly swallowed.
Gulp! With the sound of her swallowing the man finally ceased movement, his body was cold as no sign of life could be felt from it.
The woman seated on top of his body frowned as she spoke in a dissatisfied manner, "Che! How distasteful! Eating these lower-class souls really leave a bad taste in my mouth no matter how many times I do it."
She said as she wiped her mouth and got down from the body of the dead man.
"Jie Jie Jie! You looked like you were having fun just now. Why complain now about his bad taste?" A voice said with creepy laughter that came from the darkness, soon the drunkard materialized into the room.
Beside him was the other gorgeous woman that was previously seated on his leg. The two of them wore a dark smile as they looked at the corpse of the man on the bed and mocked the sexy curvaceous woman.
"Hmph! I would have enjoyed it more if he had a decent cultivation base, why did you let me devour a useless guy like him?" She said while pouting.
"Jie! Jie! That's because..." The handsome man spoke as he smiled while taking out a bottle from his sleeves and putting his finger on top of its cover.
Pop! Swoosh! As soon as the cover came off the bottle a shadow swiftly came out and quickly plunged towards the corpse, after a short moment a bit of color came back on the once lifeless looking body.
"Only weaklings make the best vessels..." The man as a strange green light shone in his eyes.
The two female’s eyes also glowed similarly, as the curvaceous woman was about to reply a strange aura could be felt coming from the dark clouds as it spread across the entire Machen Town.
Quickly, a scene that was invisible to the naked eye appeared as an unidentifiable light started to rise from multiple areas scattered across the town numbering into the thousands.
Phew! The corpse behind them trio in the room suddenly started to glow with that strange light which shot to the air amongst the rest.
"Oh? It seems leader is about ready to make his move... Jie Jie Jie! I wonder what kind of wild scenery we will be blessed with this time. After all, it's been far... too... long...." The man as his voice started to grow soft like the wind itself giving off a dark and cloudy vibe.
The trio looked towards the sky in excitement, as if their gazes could pierce the now ominous dark clouds falling on the grand battle arena that floated above the void.

The battles raged on as the chosen candidate continued their struggles for the position of Pseudo Chosen, the victors held their heads up high with excitement as they received their opponent's tokens, and the losers grew silent as they were sent to the platform of the vanquished.
Currently, almost all of the talents from top class influences have already taken part in a battle, and they crushed all oppositions in an extremely dominating fashion.
The mysterious spear youth's group defeat each of their opponents in less than five breaths time for each of their respected matches not even utilizing a fraction of their real power.
As the southern wasteland youth, the mysterious bamboo hat youth, as well as Xiang Shu had already completed their battles.
Feng Yu and Dai Lin looked at the figure of Hui Ying who was currently batting on stage with a bit of excitement.
"Young Master, Brother Hui Ying's bow techniques are sharp and precise. Do you think you could beat him if he had the time to prepare an ambush?" Dai Lin asked.
"Hmm, it depends, if I don't use my battle form I would at most be capable of fighting him on par. However, that is only in the situation of me utilizing one sword," Feng Yu said confidently.
"Young Master has a battle form?" Miren Fei asked as eyes glowed with curiosity, Lang Kuang also looked on in shock.
Dai Lin smiled and replied mysteriously, "Indeed, but even I have only ever seen it once, and that was when I wanted to test my full power against Young Master's true might."
"But how could the Young Master have a battle form isn't that something that could only be used..." As Lang Kuang asked in puzzlement, Dai Lin responded by finishing his statement.
"Used by a Bloodline Practitioner or individual with a Special Body Physique is what you want to say right? Ha Ha! Today I'll tell you both a little secret..." As Dai Lin said this, he sent two voice transmission messages to both Lang Kuang and Miren Fei.
Instantly their eyes widen in shock, as a look of awe came over Lang Kuang's face followed by Miren Fei whose heart started to beat faster as a colorful light shone in her eyes.
Feng Yu looked back at Dai Lin and frowned, however upon seeing their expressions he did not complain. As he was about to move his vision back to the battle, he couldn't help but notice the look on Miren Fei's face, quickly, and his heart couldn't help but grow slightly unstable.
Thump. Thump. In a moment it was as if Feng Yu wandered off into the memory of her fight on stage recalling her alluring charm that brought him into a daze. However, the form of the blond-haired goddess once again floated into his mind creating a strange confusion deep within his soul.
After a moment, he managed pulled his state of mind away from that scene and focused his gaze back on the platform while murmuring to himself.
"Old Master did not teach me how to handle this sort of thing... I should wait until I truly understand it myself," As he said this, a chuckle could be heard somewhere deep within his mind however after a moment, it vanished.
The scene on stage was a spectacular one, as a young girl dressed in red dancing around the square leaving multiple remnant shades with every movement of her feet. As she narrowly dodged arrows that tore upon her clothes revealing bits of her flesh with each bolt.
She had a blood red rose in her hair acting as a sort of clip that held her hair together in a bun as long tail trail all the way behind her head swaying about with each movement of her body.
She brandished a long red whip that looked like a thorn in her slender hands and gracefully attacked the robust and lax looking youth who stood with a bow in his hands at the center of the golden square.
Beads of sweat trickled down her cheeks falling on her slim neck into the cleavage of her battle dress as she waved her whip with all her might creating an elusive scene of multiple thorny rose whips that struck towards the form calmly standing at the center of the stage.
Wap! Wap! Wap! Wap!
However, for every strike struck at the youth he would only slightly tilt his body efficiently avoiding the attack of each thorny whip strike which ended up colliding with the ground, as he lifted his bow and fired normal but precise arrows towards her.
"Why... why can't I hit him?" She said with a look of grievance on her face as she narrowly dodged an arrow that went across her red martial dress ripping a new hole its surface. The female couldn't help but grow angry as she saw the newly exposed flesh being shown to the audience.
The audience observing or rather the males from the crowd couldn't help but feel pity for the pretty female.
"Sigh... who would have thought that the glorious female disciple Luo Sha of the Bloody Rose Union would be toyed with in such a manner?" A youth from a significant influence said as he observed the scene.
The Bloody Rose Union female elder sighed as she saw her disciple's distress, "Little Sha, has finally reached her limit."
"Beautiful woman as you can see I do not like to harm beautiful 'flowers.' However, a rose is a different story? Why not throw in the towel? Know when to yield and withdraw!" Hui Ying said as he smiled while playing with the bow in his arms.
"Never!" Luo Sha yelled as she whirled her whip in the air once m
ore preparing to unleash her attack once again.
"Sigh... I guess I'll have to get a little rough, beauty, don't blame me now!" Hui Ying responded while sighing, he then re-positioned himself in a serious posture and pulled his bow.
"Bloody Rose Style: Thorn Dance!" She roared and waved her hand as the thorn whip in her hands moved like a snake. Quickly, it transformed into multiple shades of thorns that launched themselves towards Hui Ying's form once more.
"HuiMan Bow Arts: First Bolt - Dazzling Arrow!" As Hui Ying said this, a bright blinding arrow shot forth instantly arriving in the front of Luo Sha and exploded creating a 'flash-bang' effect.
"My Eyes!" Luo Sha screamed as she closed her eyes holding them with her hands as they were in a state of burning pain.
Sou! Not wasting any time Hui Ying instantly vanished arriving directly behind her form, using the corner of his palm to hit her on the side of her neck. Quickly, she lost all signs of thought as she fell into an unconscious state falling towards the ground.
The whip technique was cancelled as the whip wrapped itself around her arms on its own accord.
"Sleep now beauty..." Whispered Hui Ying as he held the unconscious Luo Sha and placed her to rest on the ground gently, the rose that was within her hair fell to the ground.
Swish! Hui Ying waved his hand and caught the rose a strange light shone in his eyes as he looked at the red rose.
Flash! A flash of light soon followed from the Ancient Dragon returning Hui Ying to Feng Yu's side and the defeated Luo Sha to the platform of the vanquished.
The top-class talents looked towards Hui Ying in shock as a solemn look came over the eyes of many.
"This guy, who the hell is he?" Xuan Bei said as he looked at Hui Ying's display of strength in fear.
"That girl Luo Sha from the Bloody Rose Union was not inferior to Xuan Bei. Brother Tang, it seems that this man will be one of our greatest opponents," Xin Qing as she looked at Hui Ying with a solemn gaze.
"Un. If my guess is correct, then this character should be if not the same level probably even stronger than Blue Thunder Dai Lin. However, the question that puzzles me the most is the strength of that guy from the Feng Clan," Tang Wu as he looked at Feng Yu with a deep gaze.
Xin Qing looked on silently with a sharp look in her eyes the shadows below her feet danced about with her mood.
The mysterious spear youth, the brawny youth, the southern wasteland youth, the bamboo hat youth along with Xia Rou and Xiang Shu looked at Hui Ying with a deep gaze.
"Junling, what do you think about Yu'er's benefactor?" Feng Yunlong asked while looking at Hui Ying.
"He reminds me of an incident back I heard about from the years of Beast Monarch's rampage..." Feng Junling muttered.
"Something from that long... what could that be?" Feng Yunlong with shock.
Feng Junling looked at Hui Ying's form and soon a figure superimposed with his form.
A powerful-looking man who emitted an energy that seemed as if it could pierce all things, he shouldered a gigantic bow on his back and carried only one arrow.
"The tale of the man that raided the Palace of the Rose Fiend..." As Feng Junling said this, his voice trailed off into the wind, as the voice of the man in the image spoke softly.
His words synced with those spoken by Hui Ying who looked at the red rose he picked up from Luo Sha with a deep look on his face, "I hate roses..."

An Old Tale, Taking the Stage!
Along time ago, a time few remembered. It was during an era of a brutal conflict, between the Beastman Tribe and a Prominent War Saint Faction. However, this tale is not about their war, but the story of two men who fought to settle their scores. It happened on the verge of twilight, at a place filled with the scent of roses. If one looked around, they would see an endless meadow of red roses stretching to vast horizon itself. A brilliant crystal palace stood here; it was a grand construct built with the most beautiful materials and an exquisite design.
However, the palace was silent, as there were no guards, and no maids, only a man who stood alone and aloof, peacefully within his flower garden.
In front of this man was a coffin of gorgeous design, it was made of a pure type of crystal that sparkled with the color of the roses in the surroundings. If one looked carefully, they would see that resting inside, was a woman who was beautiful beyond words, she lay sleeping as if she would continue to sleep until the end of time.
As this man sat down, he gazed at the woman in the coffin with an infatuated look at the depths of his eyes.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Suddenly the sound of hard footsteps could be heard as with each step taken the roses that were below the individual's feet would be crushed to nothing. This man slowly walked towards the seated man, and upon reach a few a meter away he stopped his motion and stood silently in this field of roses.
Swoosh! A gentle breeze blew which lifted some red petals to float between the two individuals as the only the sound that could be heard was of their clothing making flapping noises with the rise its wind, giving a bit of motion in the quiet atmosphere.
"So... you've finally come," The seated figure said as he continued to stare at the coffin.
"Where is she?" The man said in a dark tone, as he stood with one arrow in his left hand and humongous bow in the other, a sharp look was in his eyes.
"She rests peacefully in the garden of roses..." The seated figure replied as he lifted his vision and stared the man that stood behind him.
"Do you know why I have come?" The man asked as he gripped his bow tightly.
"Hahaha! How would it be hard to guess? What man is willing to live on this earth with that man that took his wife?" The seated figure with a look of derision in his eyes.
"Are ready to face your death?" The man with bow said indifferently.
"I am ready, but the question is, are you ready to face the consequences?" The seated figure replied as a dark fiendish aura started to rose from his body.
"I remember telling you that day, that as long as I the Divine Arrow Exault exists; you and I will not live in this piece of earth, in this stretch of space. No matter how many years, how many eras, we will fight and one of us will die..." The man as he lifted his bow and placed his arrow within its string soon his bolt started to glow in a divine light.
Phew! Bang! The terrifying energies of both beings erupted as the once beautiful field of roses became a wasteland, leaving behind only clusters of powers that spread across the endless horizon to no end.
"I am the Rose Fiend! And what I want, no one can take!" The seated figure said with a dark fiendish aura around his form, as he stood before the crystal coffin.
And so, they fought, they battled and raged war, decimating all in their path for years upon years until one day, they both faded. No one knew who won their battle, and no one knew where they went, as they both disappeared into the memories of time...

At the summit of the sky, within the Chosen Battle Arena.
Feng Yu, Hui Ying, Lang Kuang and Miren Fei looked at the battle in the arena with interested as Dai Lin was currently fighting against an opponent.
Bang! The opponent would launch swift and fierce attacks towards Dai Lin who would easily avoid his attacks with a slight tilt of his body. Currently, the look on Dai Lin's face was similar to that of boredom.
"You've wasted my time long enough, time to leave!" Dai Lin said as he stretched out his finger and pushed it against the air, pointing towards the distressed opponent.
"Heavenly Shocking Circuit: Custom Style - Prison of Lightning!" Dai Lin shouted as multiple streaks of lightning shoot from his finger towards the shocked opponent snaking around his entire form creating an electric cage.
"Argh! Let me out!" The chosen candidate as he attacked the prison. However, it was futile as lightning began to bombard his form burning his flesh turning him in charcoal.
"ARGH!" The opponen
t fainted due to the 'shock'.
Flash! The Ancient Dragon soon after sent both forms out of the golden square.
"Blue Thunder Dai Lin is the best!" A fan of the local practitioners of Machen Town shouted.
"Haha! He's certain to get far for sure," Another individual said.
The major influences looked on with a solemn expression as their geniuses began to feel even more pressure.
"This Blue Thunder Dai Lin is too powerful, even I don't know if I'll be able to best him in direct combat," Tang Wu said as he looked at Dai Lin with battle intent.
Xin Qing looked at Dai Lin's figure with a strange light shining her eyes as she remained silent.
"I wonder who is next." A chosen candidate said as he looked around the battle platform.
Suddenly, the light shone once more, and two forms abruptly appeared on the arena. Seeing these two forms the practitioners and chosen candidates where stunned.
"Isn't that the useless Feng Clan troubler?" A local practitioner said.
"Un. Haha! This should be interesting; didn't he only get this far due to his willpower? What can he possibly do against true geniuses?" Another individual from the local practitioner's group said in a mocking tone.
"Haha! It's finally Yu'er's turn!" Feng Yunlong said as looked at his son with pride, while Feng Junling, Feng Xingyu and the elders of the Feng Clan looked on silently.
"This is where I will see your real power," Huan Mang as he looked at Feng Yu silently.
Xiang Tian looked at Feng Yu with a deep expression as he thought of the possibilities of Feng Yu hiding his real strength.
"It’s about time, I was wondering what was taking so long for him to get on stage. Now I can see whether or not you're as strong what Brother Zang expects you to be…" Xia Rou said as she looked at the opponent who Feng Yu will face on stage.
"Dark Sky Pavilion’s, Number 2 Prodigy!" The elders from the Seven Blade Mercenaries and Blood Rose Union exclaimed.
The Golden Dragon Empire and Southern Wasteland, Midnight Temple and Rain Sword Sect elders looked at the scene with interest on their faces.
