"I guess I have to go all out." Gale poured every ounce of his spiritual energy onto his sword.
The muscles and veins on his arms popped out, twitching rhythmically.
Gale didn't want to use trust because if he missed, he would be dead. He wanted to use the spear as a sword and slash it against Elder Thunder's sword.
'It's here." Gale did an overhead slash and clashed against the Elder Thunder, who streaked through the air, crashing into Gale.
BANG
A loud explosion demolished that section of the wall, giving the impression that a massive boulder was thrown at it from afar.
From the big cloud of dust and smoke, something flew out and came crashing into the forest.
As the smoke left that flying object, one could see who it was. It was none other than Gale, whose body had gone lump, and blood was flowing out of his mouth, pouring down on the trees like a slight drizzle.
Bang!
Gale's body crashed deep into the forest, making it impossible to know if he was alive or not.
On the outer side of the crumbled wall, Elder Thunder was standing by supporting himself with his sword.
Blood was pouring out from all over his body, and there seems to be no sign of it stopping. His injuries were not healing, which indicated he had run out of spiritual energy.
Step
Despite such heavy injuries, he walked forward - in the direction where Gale crashed. He wanted to see if Gale was alive or not. He couldn't let him live, as Gale knew of his identity, and Gale might return much stronger than before to kill, as he was fearful of his way of increasing strength in a matter of seconds. "I…won't…let…you…live.."
…
Deep into the forest.
"What just crashed down here?" A cultivator said as he looked at where Gale and the ground collided.
"I don't know, but let's check. What if it is an enemy? We can't let anyone know about these goods." Another said as he looked at the rows and rows of girls tied down on the ground.
The goods he was talking about were the kidnapped girls.
Kus had hired some rogue cultivators to transport the girls from the Burnheart Family to here and to watch over them till the envoys would take them away.
The girls were now conscious and saw what had occurred. But they could do anything as they weren't able to use their spiritual energy. A collar was placed upon their necks that stopped their spiritual sense from making contact with the dantian, where the spiritual energy resides.
Among the twelve cultivators, one went to the crash site.
However, just as he approached, someone was visible in his sight.
A shadowy figure could be seen. From what the man could see, he was able to deduce that the figure had his arms dangling down and his head was looking upward.
"Hey, who are you?" The man shouted, trying to see if he could communicate.
He knew the horror of the outside world, as sleeping dragons and crouching tigers were everywhere, waiting for them to become sheep under their sharp claws. So, he was afraid to provoke someone far stronger than him.
Crack.
The figure's head straightened, and that sound echoed in the man's ears.
"Where…"
The man perked his ears up to clearly hear what the figure wanted to say.
And in that moment, the dust also settled down, making it fully visible to the man and everyone else.
It was none other than Gale. His whole arms were ruptured as blood flowed down like water leaking from a pipe. He was only half naked because his top half had been destroyed and only a small portion of his pants remained.
Gale glanced around to see his surroundings carefully. He saw a few men looking at him cautiously and worriedly, while a bunch of girls was looking at him quite opposite to the men - their eyes were filled with hope and fear.
'What a stark contrast.' Saying that in his mind, Gale looked at the man in front of him who had asked him a question earlier. "Where am I?"
The man didn't say anything and looked at Gale's cultivation realm carefully. He and along with his teammates' guards went down when they just saw Gale was only at the Eight Stage Cultivation Realm.
"Kill this guy." Someone from behind said it nonchalantly.
They were only afraid because they weren't too sure who the crashed-down figure was. Now that they saw it was someone in the same cultivation realm as them, they felt Gale wasn't worth keeping alive.
They were all from the Seven Stage Foundation Realm to the First Stage Golden Core Realm. They were hand-picked by Kus so as not to see much trouble like the previous time.
Well, the cultivators of this realm weren't much better than the previous ones, and in such desperate times, Kus felt these were the best he could come up with.
"You guys all share the same brain cell," Gale said after taking a deep breath.
[ Blood Pump - You can refill the stamina in your body in an instant. (Cooldown: 3 hours ) ]
[ Regeneration - Heal 50% of your injuries. (Cooldown: 8 hours ) ]
The cultivators were confused by what Gale said. But the next moment, their eyes widened in shock.
Gale turned into seven illusionary figures of himself, and those figures rushed at them.
The cultivators were about to take out their weapons when suddenly the ones in front felt their eyes become blurry.
The ones in the back were bewildered by Gale's speed and the way he killed them easily.
"Run!' One of them shouted, knowing they had messed up very much. They assumed too quickly, and it was now biting them back.
The girls who were watching from the side had their fears go away, and they were replaced with awe.
"So cool!"
"Who is he? I have never seen him before."
"Hmph, can't you see? He is from our family, the Burnheart Family. This is our hidden genius who is here to save us."
"Don't you try to assume just like the other guys did. We still don't know his motive. Also, I don't trust anyone from your family."
