Chapter 358 A Super Realm


    "Commander, that''s him. He brought five hundred men and beguiled us to the slop. He set us up,"


    blustered a Deputy Commander beside Commander Zuo. He was the one who had been given a bum


    steer into believing there were thousands of opponents and had summoned backup, but only to find out


    everything was a diversionary maneuver.


    So when he saw Rocky again, he could barely suppress his eagerness to tear Rocky into segments.


    "So he is the one who delivered the supplies to the Rough Slope?" Commander Zuo narrowed his eyes


    and regarded Rocky from head to toe. There was something peculiar about this individual. It was hard


    to exin from his appearance how powerful this individual was. But no doubt he had an aggressive


    aspect and demeanor of a leader.


    "You, there. Identify yourself!" Commander Zuo pointed at Rocky, his voice thick with condescension.


    "I''m just a nobody," Rocky smiled disparagingly.


    "Gratifying to realize that you are apprehensive of that. I will grant you an opportunity. You and your


    men throw in the towel now; I will let you live. Otherwise, this ce will be your graveyard," dered


    Commander Zuo, so arrogant as if he had an assured victory and the lives of Rocky and his men were


    in his hand.


    "I was going to suggest the same to you. Since I''m here now, I''ll see to it that you perish here." Rocky


    pointed at Commander Zuo with his Frozen Wind Dagger. Hismanding presence and authoritative


    voice could shake the hearts of the staunchest men at the spot.


    Commander Zuo''s face altered. He didn''t expect such a response from Rocky. Rocky''s ranting making


    his hackles rise, he waved his hand and gave amand, "Kill them all!"


    All the two thousand soldiers and several spirit maniptors from the Timber Deity Empire swarmed in.


    "Don''t challenge them head-on. Just hold them off. Leave the rest to me." Rocky turned to the spirit


    maniptors and soldiers behind him and gave hismand.


    "Progress!" .Rocky narrowed his eyes and moved forward with his men to engage in a fight.


    Both sides of spirit maniptors and spirit-manipted beasts were the first to get into contact with


    each other, and instantly the soldiers joined the contending. They fought in a chaos of blood and mud.


    Solemnly dering, bellowing, scraping of metals, forlorn cry filled the battleground.


    Rocky wove a trail through the brawling crowd, his eyes sharp and luminous like the point of a sword.

    Stride by stride, he was closing the distance between him and Commander Zuo, who was still on his


    horse. From time to time, there were soldiers hopped out seeking to deter Rocky, only to be swept


    away by the casual swings of his Frozen Wind Dagger.


    Rocky was not his normal self. His face was hard and grim, his nce brisk and diabolical, his eyes


    sharp as swords. The bloodlust radiating from him was almost palpable, making the crowd chilled.


    Commander Zuo saw Rocky rushing toward him menacingly, and his face changed. Rocky sprang into


    his eyes like a predator who was bracing to pounce on his prey.


    Rocky went on determinedly with bodies lying bleeding on his wake. Just before he was about to get to


    Commander Zuo, a figure scrambled out and thwarted his way.


    "Who are you to duel with ourmander? Let me take off your head and collect the bounty," in an


    outburst, a figure yelled, saliva drooling out with each jagged word in front of Rocky. His holler


    reverberated in the ears of others like a p of thunder. It was the Deputy Commander in a yellow


    robe, who seemed incapable tobat the chance to make his bones.


    The Deputy Commander had reached the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage, and it showed in his aura.


    He could make pretty much a dreadful enemypared to othermon spirit maniptors, but he


    had no slightest inkling about Rocky''s power.


    The Deputy Commander stared at Rocky and braced to thrust forward, but in the blink of an eye, Rocky


    vanished from sight. A shadow shot at the Deputy Commander with startling ferocity.


    For an instant, the Deputy Commander stood as gormless as a guppy. With a sort of hen-pecked look,


    he forgot to react. A frightening spiritual pressure swooped down on him, then he moved finally, raised


    his hand and shrieked, "Hack!"


    Spiritual power gushed out from his hands and constituted itself into something of a glittering axe. The


    axe whistled through the air and shed the shadow in two.


    "That''s it! That''s all he can carry out!" The Deputy Commander announced triumphantly.


    The shadow dissolved into spots of light flying in the air and faded away. At the same time, another


    figure glowing like fire emerged from the dark and brushed lightly past the Deputy Commander, as


    casually as picking a flower.


    Ssh!


    An arrow of blood flew into the air from the Deputy Commander''s body. He peeked down, and there


    was a frightfully deep cut across his chest, blood trickling out.


    The Deputy Commander turned to look at the figure a foot away, spiritual light swirling around it like a


    ming fire. Then he slumped to the ground, his eyes wide open.


    The soldiers and spirit maniptors from the Timber Deity Empire were appalled. Their Deputy


    Commander, who had already reached the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage, was ughtered so easily


    by a guy who seemed mediocre in every way.


    Commander Zuo experienced the same awe. His brain desperately scrambled to make sense of it all.


    The spiritual light around Rocky''s body could rival that of anyone who had reached the preliminary level


    of the Heavenly Stage. Only then did he recognize that Rocky was a spirit maniptor who kept his


    talents pretty well camouged. But yet, there was something odd about Rocky. Indeed his spiritual


    light had reached the preliminary level of the Heavenly Stage, but his spiritual power remained at the


    ninth grade of the Earthly Stage, very close to the Heavenly Stage. It was confusing.


    Indeed, Rocky was in a very perplexing state. He had worked out for twenty days in that peripheral


    forest of the Myriad Beasts Ground. All his treasures were absorbed into his body during the cultivation.


    His spiritual power had already reached the threshold of the Heavenly Stage. But no matter how


    assiduously he tried, he couldn''t seem to get into it.


    So, Rocky was now having the strength of the preliminary level of the Heavenly Stage when he was


    still at the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage. It sounded merely a minor gap, but it made all the


    difference. The Earthly Stage and the Heavenly Stage were two absolutely different stages. Like royal


    spirit maniptors found it troublesome to reach the Supernal Stage, ordinary spirit maniptors felt


    the same way with entering the Heavenly Stage.


    All spirit maniptors at the Heavenly Stage could be counted as masters. They were a valuable asset


    to any army in any country.


    The primordial spirit maniptors were the core of a country''s vitality. But they were like gold dust


    these days. So the ordinary spirit maniptors at the Heavenly Stage became the pir of a country.


    They were very significant for every army and often yed critical roles in missions.
