Chapter 417: [Bonus Chapter] Sacrifice (1)
"Sect Master... Do you think Elder Khal can win?" on the small hill inside the very center of Moon Sect, Elder Rene looked at Senior Lin with a slightly nervous look. However, it was not only him but all the Elders present as they all felt slightly anxious when they saw just how quickly and easily was Khal blasted away by his opponent just now!
Khal literally had no time at all to react, even a blind man would be able to see he at that moment was completely surpassed in speed!
Without taking her eyes off the projection, Senior Lin let out a slight hum and said, "To be honest, even I do not know. As you all know, Khal possesses several abilities with which even armies can be wiped out in mere seconds, but now, against someone capable of literally sealing those powers of his away... I don’t know if he has what it takes to win."
The words spoken by Senior Lin were akin to a basin of cold water poured down on those that heard it and none of the Elders could help but feel as their whole body was slowly covered in cold drops of sweat.
They understood perfectly just what kind of existence Khal was and what was his value for both the sect and the human race. He was literally a pillar for both which, if destroyed, will cause all of them to fall into despair once again despite them getting away from it not quite a long time ago!
Although not everyone wanted to admit it, it was a fact that currently, only Khal had the strength to protect them if a calamity may happen to fall on their heads out of the blue!
Besides, to further boost his significance, ever since he came back from Planet Roxa all those creatures that saw what he was capable of doing started to try to get on their sect’s good side with either various gifts or sending disciples!
As a fact, while Khal was in Secluded Cultivation, the number of disciples joining them daily in the sect almost became three times as much, and all of them were from different races!
Of course, one didn’t need to be a genius to understand they have joined the sect just to get closer to Khal and perhaps even befriend him which could benefit their respective families or sect in the future as that was exactly the reason why they decided to join Moon Sect.
Thus, all the Elders knew that if Khal happens to die during this clash not only will those disciples that joined them leave, but those sects and families that he in the past offended and even killed will definitely seek revenge!
And when that happens, they will be the very first ones to meet with the wrath of others without a question!
"Let’s just hope he can make another miracle and emerge as the victor or at least gives up just in time." Senior Lin sighed and watched as Khal’s figure stood up from the crater which his body formed upon impact and summon a deep crimson bow that she knew what was capable of doing.
"A bow? I wonder what it can do." inside the separate space where only the two of them were, Cagrown showed a curious smile with his right brow slightly raised and looked at the weapon in Khal’s hand with his rainbowish eyes flickering mysteriously from time to time.
"Oh? A weapon that targets the soul instead of the body? I have never seen such a treasure before. I wonder where you have acquired such a priceless item."
Khal remained calm even though he heard clearly what Cagrown just said, and with a powerful thug and with a huge amount of his essence channeled into his fingers he pulled the bow’s string back and quickly fired a shot at Cagrown.
Swish!
BAM!
With a sound of a thunderous burst which was akin to thunder, the black arrow flew through and split the air into two with a speed that seemed to be teleportation and in even less than a single second, it appeared directly before Cagrown’s right eye, ready to pierce through his pupil and brain in the next millisecond!
"Good!" was the only thing Cagrown said before he clapped his hand once again and just as previously, forced the black arrow and even the bow in Khal’s hand to vanish as if they were not even there a second ago!
"What an annoying ability..." Khal mumbled in annoyance.
"What else do you have up in your sleeve, huh? Let me see them all!" the very next second after his Soul Piercer was sealed away, Khal watched as Cagrown appeared before him once again and his right feet approached his waist from the left with speed and force akin to a War Axe!
Watching as the leg that was enough to turn a massive boulder into dust loomed close to his waist Khal didn’t hesitate and swung his left arm downward while activating a technique that was among the very first Martial Techniques he has learned the moment he has ascended!
"Three Echo Punch!"
boom! Boom! BOOOOM!
Three terrifyingly powerful and insanely quick punches that created three powerful shockwaves with only a fraction of a millisecond difference were thrown out by Khal in a mere instant, immediately striking Cagrown’s leg and forcing his leg to miss its target and hit the ground below!
BOOOOM!
A massive tremor that shook the surroundings and even created a hundred meters long fissure was produced the moment Cagrown’s feet slammed into the ground, giving Khal the perfect opportunity to do a counter-attack!
"Ghost Slice!" jumping backward while swinging his Devil Fang, Khal summoned hundreds of invisible wind blades around Cagrown which surrounded him from all angles and directions without the slightest gap that could give him the chance to escape!
"Flame Lotus!" waving his fan once again which not only triggered all the invisible wind blades in the air to detonate at once but also summoned a huge explosion in the shape of a lotus, Khal quickly waved his other hand.
"Open!"
SWOOSH!
The whole proximity around Khal froze the moment he shouted that single word. The ground turned into ice, the grass turned into ice crystals, and even the explosion which Khal created and was about to cause destruction froze in shape, creating a huge frozen lotus!
"Did he die?" Khal asked with narrowed eyes, but soon his eyes widened as he watched how the surface of the frozen lotus began to crack and soon explode into hundreds of pieces!
"Amazing! That first one! What kind of technique was that?" walking out of the huge chunks of frozen debris which once constructed the frozen lotus, Cagrown looked at Khal with an excited smile while his eyes shone with a golden hue which instead of looking tempting right now looked unduly sinister!
