The Rise of the Black Plain

Upon hearing that, all of Minos' soldiers were irritated by the speech of that level 57 Spiritual King, but no one did anything at first.

Not because they didn't want to do something against that individual, but because there was a right time to act, and they wouldn't miss the opportunity to do so when it was most opportune.

So, those hundreds of soldiers from the local army stood watching the enemy side. Meanwhile, they saved their hatred for these invaders for a later time when the fighting would begin.

But meanwhile, Minos was analyzing that adversary group before taking action. 'This group is quite strong, but it has a very obvious power subdivision...'

'It doesn't make sense to send a level 57 cultivator in this group, and at the same time, level 40 people...'

'This group is simply too strange.'

'It's as if they sent people here to die...' He pondered as he opened his eyes in surprise, understanding the situation.

"That's it..."

"They're here to test us." He said in a low voice, but enough to be heard by the people around him.

"Test us?"

Minos then made a displeased expression and then said aloud to those enemies. "What a great king you have, eh? Do you realize that you were sent here to die?"

He then looked in the direction where the weaker people in that group were and said again. "You there!"

"No offense intended, but what use do you guys think you have on a battlefield where Spiritual Kings as strong as that bald guy is fighting?" He said, pointing at the level 57 cultivator.

And indeed, there was no one of such a low level in Minos' group. That meant that the slaughter of almost a third of that group was a certainty!

Hence, Minos couldn't help but notice the purpose of that group.

"Tsk!"

"King Brown is sacrificing you to test me..."

"What a great leader!" He sarcastically said while shaking his head from side to side.

But then one of those Spiritual Kings in the Brown family group soon shouted in fury as he looked in Minos' direction with a murderous look. "Shut your mouth, you traitorous bastard!"Â

"Don't listen to that damned traitor. He's just trying to mess with our minds since his group is weaker than ours!"

"That's right, people! His Majesty knew that the enemy was inferior and sent us here to be the first to slaughter these rebel forces!"

"A scared worm always screams nonsense before it dies!"

Several comments from the side of that group sounded, as the stronger people there belittled the figure of the young level 50 Spiritual King and defended the integrity of King Brown.

Minos was right in front of them, but they could not recognize him. But that wasn't strange. After all, only a portion of them knew what this young man looked like during his youth. Besides that, in a pre-fight moment like this, none had associated this young man with the local sovereign.

And it was wise to think like that. Minos was not supposed to be a Spiritual King but a Spiritual General!

But even if they recognized him, it would make no difference.

"I'll give them a chance..." Minos began to speak calmly, looking in the direction of those people as if he had already won the conflict. "Surrender now and submit to the local sovereign."

"We are very sensible, and you will probably only have your cultivation crippled..."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that even that bald old man won't survive!"

Hearing this, that strongest individual there gritted his teeth in anger, feeling a strong desire to kill.Â

"Damned brat!"Â

"Enough talk... Kill those degenerate traitors!" He finally gave his order, already preparing to run towards Minos and smash this young Spiritual King's head in.

Hearing this, Minos shook his head in disappointment, feeling that he would not get the surrender of these people.Â

'It makes no difference... The local prison is almost full, and we wouldn't have places for them anyway...'

"Fine."

"You have chosen death. We will respect your decision!" Minos shouted as he raised his golden-bladed sword, indicating the start of the fight to his soldiers.

"Since we have no alternatives here, let us massacre the invaders!"

"Don't take it lightly. Use everything you have!" He shouted in the direction of Angela and Ernest while already moving through that place.

Minos understood what the purpose of this group was. But what could he do except eliminate this group?

If he ignored them, then the enemy forces would not be harmed at all and would still have ten extra Spiritual Kings and all those Spiritual Generals. But, at the same time, that group could disrupt his business around this city.

And one way or another, the king would find out about the Black Plain Army's ability to eliminate level 57 cultivators. So, there was no other alternative for him here.

Killing these people would at least generate the benefit that such individuals would not disturb them again!

Because of all this, Minos had decided to go all out against those opponents, even though in total power his side was stronger than his opponents'!

With that, the sounds of battles soon began to spread there, while many forms of attacks formed in the air, rushing from one side of the site to the other.

Boom!

Pow!

"Ahhhh!"

...

Boom!

"Ahhhh!"

"Damn! The enemies are much stronger than us!"

And it didn't take even a minute for the people in the Brown family group to realize that they had greatly underestimated their opponents.

Because they were outnumbered and had several experts on their side, the Spiritual Kings and the other individuals in that group thought they would probably win this battle.

But by the time both sides had clashed, the soldiers of the local army had quickly gained the upper hand, having already dealt damage to many of their enemies!

And not only had those ordinary guards of the local royalty gone bad, but even some of those Spiritual Kings were already fighting desperately.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"How could this guy be so strong? Why can't we do anything against him?" A level 52 individual roared while fighting together with three other individuals from early levels of the 6th stage against Ernest.

Pow!

"Ahhh!"

At the same time, Angela was dealing with six other Spiritual Kings, leaving only that level 57 individual who was now struggling to fight Minos.

That was not a difficult task for her since these people were merely subordinates of the Brown family, while she had a complete set of Silver-grade techniques.

And considering that she was very close to leveling up, this woman had already reached a fighting proficiency compared to the top regional cultivators!

Consequently, those opponents were suffering while fighting her!

"Ahhh!"Â

"This woman is too strong for us!"

"Let's run away!" Then, in desperation, one of those people said this, as he was already feeling exhausted and constantly losing his energy to some mysterious force.

Meanwhile, he had just seen one of his level 53 companions suffer severe damage from an attack by Angela.

Such a thing had happened very quickly, and when he least expected it, his teammate had been pierced through by an ice spear!

That had made a hole in that person's belly, big enough for a grown-up's hand to pass through with ease!

However, that was not the worst of it. The worst was the fact that the ice from the spear had burned the internal organs of that individual, causing him to scream in pain as he struggled on the ground.

And soon those people continued to fight Angela, some of them trying to escape, but all the time suffering from the pressure of this woman.

"Damn, that damn woman is too fast! We won't be able to escape!"

"What will we do?"

...

At the same time, as battles were going on in every part of that place where the enemy groups had met, Minos was now pressuring his opponent.

After a few seconds of battle, that person was already sweating vigorously, while his energy reserves had dropped dramatically.

At the beginning of the fight, he had run towards Minos to deal with the person who had insulted him, but this opponent had also run towards him.

And in the very first exchange of blows, this bald man had realized that he was at a disadvantage and had made a big mistake here!

Because of this, he was facing at this moment the biggest challenge of his life while constantly suffering from Minos' blade and barely able to counterattack.

'Damn it!'

'What have I gotten myself into? How could I have run into such a monster?' He wondered in awe, feeling weaker and weaker as the fight unfolded.

That was indeed a daytime nightmare for him and his companions!
