Chapter 219: In Danger While Klaus was speaking with the leader of the guards, the array lit up once again. Grey was about to exit it, but there were only two guards from the Qilin empire there. “Someone’s coming out again.” Before the leader of the guards from the Qilin empire could rush back to the array, the light died down and Grey who was covered in yellowish substance appeared. The guards were initially taken aback seeing him, but when the leader of the guards from the Azure empire saw the panicked expression in the face of the leader from the Qilin empire, he immediately knew Grey was not from their empire. He also noticed that Grey was in the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane. Smiling evilly, he attacked. He was a Water Elementalist that was already in the Ninth stage of the Origin Plane, just one more breakthrough and he would become an Overlord Plane expert. There was no way the two guards who were at the Sixth stage could stop him. When his guards saw him attacking, they attacked the two guards as well. They didn’t care if this might spark the flames of the battle between the two empire’s guards here. But they knew there was no way the Qilin empire would want to risk fighting against them once the boy was dead. Even if they fought, it wouldn’t be to the extent of them killing each other. Anger and despair surfaced in the faces of Alice, Reynolds, and Klaus. They felt even if Grey was powerful, defending against someone at the peak of the Origin Plane was impossible given the difference in strength. But a little hint of hope appeared when they thought of how he managed to escape from the pursuit of Aetonth. According to Alice, it was above the Origin Plane. Grey who was currently cursing his stupidity, and swearing at Aetonth for spraying saliva and snot on him was stunned when he not only sensed a thick killing intent coming towards him, but also a terrifying attack. The power of the attack was not on the level of Aetonth’s attacks, but it was still too powerful for him, especially when he was being sneak attacked like this. Without the Fusion State, he couldn’t really defend against Aetonth’s attacks. Grey immediately went into his defensive mode, even Void who was previously laughing at him because of the yellowish substance in his body expression changed. This was the first time he was seeing the world, yet he was sneak attacked! What sort of welcoming was this? He still hadn’t recovered his space essence, so helping Grey out of this circumstance was impossible, he couldn’t even escape. He could only brace himself while also preparing to defend as well. The fire element was currently Grey’s strongest element, without even trying to figure out where the attack was coming from, he immediately raised a wall of blue flames around himself. After doing that, he also created an earth armor. The strongest earth armor he could create. Boom! The water snake the leader of the guards from the Azure empire sent towards him crashed into the firewall. Contrary to the expectations of everyone, it didn’t break through the defense instantly. “What?!” The leader of the guards from the Azure empire exclaimed in disbelief. Even though he could tell that the attack would eventually break through the defense, he was shocked by the quick reaction from Grey. He also didn’t think that someone in the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane could block his attack, even though it was just barely. Those watching also felt surprised by this. Seeing the blue flames had already ignited their surprise, but never in their wildest dreams did they think the young boy who just left the trial land would be able to react this quickly. ‘He must die.’ The leader of the guards from the Azure empire made up his mind. Those from the Blue Wind empire, as well as the Stellar empire, did nothing to stop Grey from being killed. Since he could block this attack, it meant he might also become a possible threat to them later in the future. The leader from the Qilin empire felt a little excited hoping Grey could hold on for another three or five seconds. He couldn’t allow someone who has such a special flame to die, his flame wasn’t only special, but his strength and reaction speed were exceptional as well. He felt even some of his soldiers might not react as quickly as Grey did. The water snake soon gained the advantage and quickly opened up a hole in the firewall. It crashed into Grey with a frightening force. Bam! Grey’s body shot out from the other side of the flame wall when the water snake hit him. He felt like his organs were falling apart, and his bones were destroyed. Luckily, his body was far stronger than that of a normal Elementalist. But it didn’t change the fact that he was currently in danger. After his body shot out of the firewall, it moved for almost fifty meters before falling down. Crash! He first crashed into the ground, but the force bounced him into the air again, after crashing about four times, his body finally slide into the ground before being stopped by a boulder. He was currently almost one hundred meters away from where he was attacked. As soon as his body stopped moving, it was like time stood still. No one could believe what happened, they didn’t think the leader from the Azure empire would truly be this heartless enough to kill a genius from another empire. The leader wasn’t only heartless, but he was extremely bold as well. “Grey!” Alice, Klaus, and Reynolds screamed in unison while charging straight for the currently motionless Grey. “You animal!” The leader of the guards from the Qilin empire said with angry eyes. He still couldn’t believe what just happened. Everything happened within the space of a few seconds, yet it felt like it happened in one hour.
