Monarch of Darkness

"Great grand uncle, is there any problem if we do not kill the experts of Black family? I want their experts to be captured instead", Evan suddenly asked Ether Jackson.

"Hmm! No problem but what are you planning?", Ether Jackson asked with a slightly surprised tone. A glint appeared in the eyes of Evan as he thought something.

"Great grand uncle, I need some captured experts. I have a use for them", Evan replied with a calm look on his face.

"Is it possible?", Evan looked at his great grand uncle with expectation in his eyes. Ether Jackson could not deny the request of Evan. So, he nodded his head. 

"This brat is always doing unexpected things", Ether Jackson thought inside his mind. "What kind of experts do you want to be captured?", he asked Evan.

"Their Core Condensation realm and Nascent soul realm experts", Evan said without thinking for a minute. Ether Jackson nodded his head as he refocused on the attack going against the Black family.

Black family guards soon found out that something was off. Moreover sneaking into the outer periphery of Black family was easy but as the warriors sent by the royal family advanced inside, they faced more and more Black family guards.

A blue coloured light flew up into the sky as the black family guards resisted more and more.

Suddenly, Evan felt a powerful sense scanning through the royal family warriors. "Oh, it is Daniel. He has managed to become a Law sea stage expert! No wonder, Black family dared to rebel", Ether Jackson spoke after the soul sense of an expert scanned past them. 

"Who dare to cause trouble fro my Black family?", a thunderous roar came as a thin middle-aged man led a group of Black family warriors with him.

Evan didn't want to reveal his soul consciousness to his great grand uncle. So, he could only suppress his curiosity about their cultivation level.

The new Black family group raced towards the advanced royal family warriors. Before they could exchange blows, another group of royal family warriors appeared Infront of the gate.

A stoic looking man followed behind the royal family warriors as he looked at the middle-aged man with a calm face.

"General Will, what is the meaning of this?", the middle aged man asked with an angry tone.

"Joseph Black, don't play mind games with me. If you're don't want to die, then surrender immediately", general Will replied.

The face of Joseph Black turned from as he yelled at the rushing warriors of Black family.

"Attack", the middle-aged man roared.

Immediately clashes of weapons between two groups reveberated in the air.

"Nine cloud punch", a Black family warrior shouted as he punched at a royal family warrior. The royal family warrior immediately swung his axe and parried the attack of the Black family.

Before Profound transformation realm, cultivators couldn't use martial techniques as they had very strong requirement for the essence energy. One could use martial arts which used physical strength but such battles were generally fought between the Meridian opening realm warriors. 

After arriving at Profound transformation realm, a cultivator had a larger essence reserve than the Meridian opening realm. So, they could use powerful martial techniques in battle.

Evan looked at the battle between the profound transformation warriors with interest. The royal family warrior continued to party the attack of the Black family warrior and the Black family warrior continued to use fist techniques on him. After using the martial techniques continuously, the Black family warrior slowed down a bit.

A glint appeared in the eyes of the royal family warrior. "Whirlwind slash", the royal family warrior roared as he launched his first martial technique.

The Black family warrior became flabbergasted by the sudden outburst as he couldn't defend himself timely. The huge force behind the axe sent him flying as a deep cut appeared in his waist region.

Similar scenes appeared everywhere as the battle started to tilt in favour of the royal family." Cultivators who practice in seclusion can't compare to a soldier with experience of hundred battles", Ether Jackson commented as he nodded secretly at the attentiveness of Evan in observing the battle. This is his goal in bringing Evan to the Black family. He wanted Evan to gain experience from the battles of higher realm experts.

Suddenly Ether Jackson's eyes flashed as he looked at a certain location of Black family. "General Will, order your troops to pull back", Ether Jackson roared.

But his warning was too late as spikes extended from the earth and impaled three profound transformation realm experts of the royal family.

Blood pored out from the three Profound transformation realm warrior's mouth as the earth spikes opened up a hole in their stomach region.

Evan looked over and his gaze fell upon a old woman in distance. "A peak stage core condensation realm earth mage", Ether Jackson frowned after looking at the old woman in distance. Fight halted for a minute as the royal family warriors retreated.

Fight has just started but Black family managed to kill three peak stage Profound transformation realm warriors of royal family. Royal family warriors didn't attack recklessly anymore as they waited for the command of general Will.

Time seemed to pause for a moment as both of the group looked at each other with grim expression in their faces. Initially there were six Profound transformation realm experts in general Will's group but the number now reduced by half.

Black family had also dispatched six Profound transformation realm experts but there was no casuality in their ranks. When general Will was wracking hid brain to thought about an idea, he head a sound coming from behind.

Rapid footsteps approached their group and general Will turned his head to looked at them. His eyes lit up.after seeing the person in lead.

A hint of relief appeared on his stoic face.

"Pedro, have you completed your mission?", he asked the approaching man.

"Yes, We have already finished our mission. It will be embarrassing if we can't kill an enemy with advantage in our number", general Pedro chuckled.

"What is going on?", general Pedro asked as he detected the unusual atmosphere.

"Have you ever seen that old woman?", general Will pointed at the old woman standing in distance. 

"That must be Andrea Black! What is she doing here?", general Pedro shouted with astonishment in his voice.
