*Having his blade pushed away, he laughed wildly as while trying to recover his footing, he saw the two hooks and moved his head off the center line, dodging both hooks. But using the sword as a support, he stuck it into the ground momentarily, and thrusted his qi imbued leg forward to parry General Ionnas', aiming to push him back having the sword keeping him in place. Then jumping forward with the sword trailing behind, his eyes glinted with a crimson red for a moment, as his entire body was enshrouded with the crimson qi.* **Thousand Slaughter, First Fang: Tooth of the Black Dragon** *His sword with imbued with qi, beginning to gain a slight red hue... Soon blazing fiery with crimson qi and an overwhelming bloodlust coming from Elder Shen... Another name for him...* **The Slaughter Emperor** *Upon swinging the sword, an image of a crimson qi dragon began to shape and morph, bursting with an immense amount of qi. The cutting power of the sword was enough to sever a limb easily if no defenses to used against it, while the force and power of it carried that to shatter a mountain with ease*

```"Aren't you a little greenhorn trying to fight against such an old monster... Ha ha ha I commend your courage... But young man, you're a few thousand years old too young to face me, ke ke ke"```

*Immediately after...* **Thousand Slaughter 2nd Fang: Slaughter of 10 Moons** *Here he reposed for a moment, before launching an assault of 10 slash attacks at the man, each containing the same amount of power, however, these attacks were much faster than the previous. One slash aimed downward, another to thrust forward at his chest. Then he immediately spun around, whirling the blade with him to perform a horizontal slash aimed at his right side, bringing it around his head, and came down diagonally from the left side. Suddenly something changed... As he was about to swing, it appeared as if 3 blades followed the trail of his blade and indeed were real phantom blades meant to quadrup

*As the party landed and it stopped his kick and his two punches were dodged by moving off center line he switched stances and waisted no time but neither did this man more steam started coming off his fists and shins and feet as the sparks of flame kept increasing like a lighter trying to spark the flame. He had no mana flowing inside his body the mana flowed but he didn't use it he trained every day fought against the great orc's fought against the dwarven warlord's the high elves to the north the fire dragons in the mountains, all for one goal. To keep the peace of the world to uphold sicarlas as the peace keeping nation and the nation of prosperity, seeing an image of a dragon with crimson red color forming.*

*He didn't know about qi he wasn't using mana so he could only try to visually understand it, he began to strengthen his muscle fibers down to his bone turned to near unbreakable as veins began to form on his arms his eyes were relaxed as he focused on the movement no attack yet but he walked forward as the 10 slashes came towards him he side stepped the slashes that came down then the thrust towards his chest to the left and in towards the man as he spun around he stepped into his guard throwing a powerful left hook following up raising his right leg the blade would collide with something stronger then mountains which he rose his leg to throw a side kick toward the mans jaw this had enough power to shatter multiple mountains.*

*This would however leave time for the other slashes to hit but it would slice his skin like before as he had reinforced every fiber of his body. He stepped back to see the phantom like blades and he kicked the earth with his left foot sending earth shattering up toward him to lessen the attacks as he side stepped away then landed on his feet blitzing forward jumping as his leg wss flying towards the mans right side he could level the entire city multiple times over with this attack*

"Kekeke, since you beings of the lower realm are able to handle my sword... I should take it up a notch shouldn't I? Kekekeke"

*With that having a a kick coming to his face he chuckled, catching it with his bare hands, seemingly able to withstand to the heat and force of the attack... Though with the general now jumping back and maneuvering to blitz him with a flying side kick. He needed to act fast, thus he stabbed the great sword into the ground and used it to intercept the attack, when the man made impact, he was pushed back aggressively with General Ionnas continuing to follow through with the attack. But this is where he smiled, and chuckled. With one hand sign, he laughed louder* **Grand Formation: Secluded Realm of War** *With that a large barrier encased them within, large enough for the two to battle in... The skies were red... Broken swords and remnants of of previous battles were left here... A war zone... A graveyard of cultivators...* **Immortal Black Dragon Cleaver: Reflect** *And with that, a sudden flash came from the large blade, immediately shooting out a burst of qi that was double the amount of force delivered by the general. Immediately after, he jumped forward to follow him, swinging his Black Dragon Cleaver 3 times, once at his chest, the other horizontally at his head, and one aimed downward to attempt to sever the man in half... Though the sharpness and power of the sword were noticeably different, as the power of each attack was easily able to wipe multiple cities at once. It would seem, that Elder Shen, was beginning to take this battle a bit more serious*
Donna
*Rubbed blood off his body and splattered it to the floor his armor offered some protection but not total protection. It would seem with each attack more and more steam came from his hands and legs and feet the steam was now reaching a boiling point where it could sear flesh of the bone. Seeing the man catch his leg with his bare hands he was now getting impressed, and now serious he knew this person was no weak mortal and speaking as if he were in a higher realm.*

`"If your not from here where are you from?"`

*He broke his silence he didn't like to talk while fighting it was very tedious a task. As he was flying towards him with a kick but he felt his leg slam into a sword fas it landed the steam began to bellow into the mans face, as he felt extreme resistance he used more force to push back against this mans weapon that had the force of mountains behind it. He gritted his teeth slightly as the ground shook and a sonic boom came from behind the man from the force of his kicks kinetic energy being stopped soon a sudden flash of unknown energy to him would smack him in the face and send him flying nearly knocking the wind out of him as he went flying back then sliding and tumbling on the ground until his back nearly hit the edge of the barrier his hands sank into the earth ripping the ground to shreds beneath his hands. His feet, sliding and gliding to a halt.*

*He huffed as his nose was bloody and his enchanted dwarven armor was practically shattered he grabbed the straps and ripped it off and tore his shirt off revealing defined muscles on his chest back and abs. Ready to close the distance he saw and felt a pressure that was not to be taken lightly like his previous defense he suddenly jumped back then towards the left a couple hundred meters to avoid his attacks, his feet skitted and gliding across the floor as he placed one hand to grip into the earth to stop his momentum he did not want that blade to touch him* 

`"Before we continue will you answer my question? Excuse my mannerisms of not talking I think it unnecessary while fighting elder."`

*He would show respect to the man and acknowledge him as an elder person of more knowledge and experience as blood kept falling from his nose*
Tyrone
*The mad man laugheed loudly as he was enjoying himself, as he was ready to swing yet again, the man had retreated far enough to where his blade wouldn't touch him. Seeing the General in such a condition and still living was rather impressive for a being of the lower realm.*

```"Ha ha ha, I'll speak with you. I am from the upper realm, a place and land which mortals cannot enter. Ha ha, worry not, I understand. If only I could fight with my full strength, ka ka ka"```

*The man said placing the blade over his shoulder, standing there proud and only about scratched up at the most in the moment*

```"Ah, if only someone of your talent were born in the upper realm. You would've soared like a dragon into the heavens"```
Donna
*Rubbed his nose with his arm he was ready for that attack at all he had no time to reinforce his body with his strength he wasn't relaxed here however he was strengthening his muscle fibers even more to meet that force and surpass it for what hit him smack dead in the face and chest.*

`"So your from the heaven's? Why would a person from the heaven's come to the mortal plane? Mortal problem's should remain mortal trivial problems we are a spec of dust a grain of sand in a vast ocean we live for a finite time unlike those from above that can live for nearly for eternity that may be an exaggeration however my point stands why bother with us when most of us will be dead and gone within 100 years."`

*He placed a hand on the back of his head rubbing it slightly as his left hand rested on his hip as he would speak again*

`"Being a mortal has its perks I don't think I would like to live for a very long time, I prefer to let nature do it's duty and for the future of one's people to progress older generations can only do so much in guiding sometimes things are best let go it prevents people from getting to hungry for power, strength, greed, everything that entails examples of this are vampires, demon lords and dragons."`
Tyrone
*The man yawned and scratched the back of his head*

```"Because, my young master asked, and as such I will obey. The problems of my young master, is mine as well. That is my answer"```

*Leaning back he stretched and cracked his back to relieve some tension.*

```"I was once a mortal as well. But you would not understand, let alone understand the world I live in. To live is to breath martial arts, that is why we continue to live. To perfect our martial arts and to become powerful. So if this is your way to dissuade me to withdraw, it will not happen"```

*The man sighed*

```"However, what is your reason for fighting? Why do you try so hard? Why did you become a general?"```
Donna
*Stood there quiet for a moment and waited for the man to be done speaking before he spoke, he didn't want to interrupt his dialogue once he understood everything he replied.*

`"Once mortal is the key word, wouldn't it ruin the joys of life to live for nearly forever? Experiencing something for a lifetime actually means something when your life is finite. Every moment ever shared is even more cherished then the moments cherished with those who live nearly forever."`

*Shaking his head as he placed his hands at his side the blood had finally stopped coming out from his nose*

`"I would not insult your intelligence by trying to get you to withdraw from this, it be disrespectful to try to have a battle of wits with an elder such as yourself. I am here for the same reason you are here your young master asked for you. My kingdom asked for me. I fight for the kingdom of sicarlas the peacekeeping force of the world, if we are defeated in any battle we risk the world losing faith in us and the pointless meaningless wars of lords and kings will rise again, as we will be seen as incapable of defeating a demon lord."`

*He placed his hand on his chin*

`"The peace this world has on a world scale is because of my kingdom, we don't have lords and kings slaughtering each other for the most minor things I wish I could say to make the world a better place but that is a child's dream, I'm a general to keep the peace and save as many lives as possible even if that means sacrificing a few to save the many."`

*He waved his hand across the battlefield of his dead men.*
