To Walk The Mist Chapter 48

"The battle field will soon open . The rules are simple, there are no rules . " the instructor said and the space around them warped .

The next moment, Ed found himself in a desolate dry land . He almost laughed at the scene . The great spill rules were vicious . They all appeared in the same place, there was no where for the afraid to run . Those who had been holding in their anger and blood thirst for their enemies in the great spill, suddenly had them right in front of them .

There were no rules .

It was the start of a blood bath . Enemy factions attacked themselves almost instantly . In a full breath of time, ten people had died . It started to dawn on the newcomers, this was not a fight they will survive . Most started to regret being alone . Those who had formed factions paled and dashed to make an escape . They were the prime targets of this battle .

Ed paused to take in his environment . He noticed that his cultivation was suppressed here, just like outside the great spill, in the demon lands . This was good . He could fight on pure physical strength .

A man charged and attacked him . Excitement pulsed through his veins as he turned to receive the man's strike . He manifested a high grade human sword and blocked the incoming axe . This was the time to practise in real time all the foundation sword skills . He spun in the air and kicked the next man coming his way . It was not a powerful kick, but the man had flown back ten meters .

Ed almost nodded at this outcome . Every time a cultivator levels up, his body gets better and stronger . Many do not pay attention to this, but other concentrate on fine tuning their body strength just as much as their cultivation . Ed could finally see how powerful his physical strength has grown in a real fight .

His swordsmanship had grown too . He flipped his sword ans attacked the man with the axe . The sword connected with the man's axe and the two weapons broke . The man paled . His axe was a low grade earth weapon . How could a high grade human sword break it? Ed understood . He had used too much strength . He did not bother to manifest another sword, he punched out with his bare fist . His fist connected with the man's face and his head mangled into a lump of tattered meat and bones sagging from his neck .

This chilled a lot of people's bones .

"Brother!" a man shouted in shock and attacked Ed . Ed could feel the anger pulsing through the man's veins . His eyes moved quickly, it was as though he could see things with much better detail . Sometimes having your cultivation, makes you forget the skill of your physical bodies . Ed could see his weakness in a second . He swayed out of the way of the coming spear and kicked the man's hip .

The man collapsed to the floor almost immediately . It was as if all the strength in his body disappeared . Ed did not pause for a second . He put more strength into his arm as he sent out a slap . His palm reached the man's cheek and his head spun 180 degrees to the back . The incoming people paused, then made to escape . But it did not matter any more, Ed did not intend to leave anyone alive . Seeing him attack, most decided to run away faster, other angrily decided to face him together . Ed loved that decision . The more the better .

As he fought, his fighting skills were getting better . He could better predict and understand the movements of the human body as he killed one after the other . Those who had been targeting Ed decided to retreat . Some had completely given up on this idea . Others had not at all .

By the time Ed turned to them, he only saw them retreating . He had taken note of every killing intent before entering the battle field, there was no way he was going to let them escape .
