A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 302: Battle I



Immediately that voice rang out, several men who were at the mid-phase, Sky Lord stage to the peak-phase, Sky Lord stage shot out from the tallest building in the park to the sky.

'Oh no' Layla said seeing that things had quickly escalated. Then she looked at Alex to tell him to not engage them. But she saw him giving a ruthless smile. She then began to wonder why he could still remain calm and give that kind of smile which would invoke the feeling in anyone that he was an exceedingly wicked and tyrannical dictator. However, she called his name to try to tell him not to provoke these powerful cultivation experts. But Alex didn't answer her.

Then when he eventually looked at her, he said with a smile in his face "Don't worry. They can't do anything to me. I intentionally did that to draw the bastards out. I knew that doing what I did would cause them to fly out in rage. So, I know what I am doing. Just go somewhere far from here to keep yourself safe from our stray energy-attacks and watch the battle that's about to ensue. Believe me, you would be entertained"

Layla looked at him in shock. Then she tried to talk but she couldn't find anything to say. The great shock in her heart which was evident in her face prevented her from uttering anything.

Alex, an initial-stage, Earth Adept stage cultivator wanted to go against a group of cultivators who were at the mid-phase, Sky Lord stage to the peak-phase, Sky Lord stage?

She was seriously overwhelmed by the shock that had blossomed in her heart because of the incredible statement that Alex made.

"Alex, please don't do this. You would be seriously hurt, or worst, you could be carried away, tortured and then killed." Layla hurriedly said immediately after she got a slight grip on her flitting mind.

Alex smiled when he looked at her.

"You would understand soon. Just leave here, Layla. Go somewhere else where you wouldn't be exposed to our attacks" He said.

Layla shook her head to tell him that she wasn't going anywhere. She wanted to remain behind to prevent him from fighting and then become fatally injured by the cultivators hovering in the air. Also, she wanted to apologize to the powerful experts on his behalf. But before she could do so, Alex who was looking at the Sky Lord-stage experts in the air said to them "Give me a second, I will be back".

Then now looking at Layla who was perplexed by what he said, he unexpectedly grabbed her by the waist and darted off at an insane speed into the distance of about forty feet away. Then he returned almost in the same instant after dropping Layla off at that distance in the field that the beast-pulled carriages were parked at.

Now looking at the experts who had astonishment in their eyes because of the great speed that he moved at, he said to them "Alright folks. I am back. Let's get to what you shot into the air for"

"I see that you are the bold and brave type. But that would only cause you to lose parts of your body or die. Now, why did you do that to the City Lord's son, despite knowing that he has many powerful guards?" The one at the peak-phase, Sky Lord stage asked.

"Well, he was lusting after my lady. And that's something I wouldn't tolerate from anybody, including your city lord if he does that." Alex said without fear in his tone.

Once Alex mentioned that, the coldness in the eyes of the guards shot up by many degrees that it was only a degree left for their cold gazes to become gazes that would erupt killing intent.

"I see that you are someone that has virtually no respect for anybody. Perhaps a little lesson from us would impart into you the ability to respect and humble yourselves before people who are seniors to you in cultivation." The guard at the peak-phase, Sky Lord stage said with anger in his tone.

He couldn't believe that some brat from somewhere could look down on their Lord. Then he felt that they must seriously teach him a lesson for that, and that lesson would include the removal of an eye, a ear, an arm and his two legs.

"No. You are getting it wrong. I have respect for everyone that are senior to me. But when such people I have respect for do things that disgusts me, I totally lose the respect that I have for them. As for your City Lord, I don't have respect anymore for him because of his son who lusts after other people's lady. I mean, why not go find your own lady, instead of lusting after someone else's own. Therefore, since his son can be like that, going after other people's girlfriend, then the City Lord would definitely be like that, as his son would learn from him how to use force to take other people's women. I am very sure that the City Lord would use his power to snatch women from people who are weaker to him in cultivation. And that's oppression by power and rank, something I really hate the most." Alex said to them, refuting what they said about him.

"Haha. If the City Lord lust after women and tries to take them and make them his wives or concubines, that's because he has the power to do so. Therefore, that's something a stupid brat like you shouldn't be commenting about or giving remarks about." The guard said. Then looking at the other guards in the air, he said to one of them "You, bring me one of his eyes and his two legs. We must teach this fool a lesson that he wouldn't forget for the rest of his damned life. And maybe when he dies and reincarnates, the lesson he learnt from his previous life would stay with him."

"Oh really? Haha!" Alex asked and laughed raucously.

The guard that was ordered to cut off Alex's two legs and remove one of his eyes suddenly swooped down from the air towards Alex.

Once he arrived before Alex, Alex who had a faster reaction since his body's reaction time was heightened by the speedforce energy that had already permeated his entire body nerves, simply put out one of his hands and grabbed the guard by the neck. And since his fingers were abnormally strong and powerful due to his tribulation-lightning body tempering and body-cultivation using body-cultivating herbs, they effortlessly dug into the guard's skin and began to discharge tiny wisps of tribulation-enhanced lightniforce energy and pyroforce energy into his body, causing the guard to develop red eyes and have green veins bulge all over his face. The energies seeping into his body from Alex's fingers prevented him from doing anything except scream out in intense pain and great horror. But because of Alex's tight grasp on his neck, his terrified shriek couldn't sound out.

"You trashy, senior cultivation experts that would be behaving like you are mighty because you are at a higher cultivation stage than the one who is before you. Now, don't I have you fool in my hand like a filthy rat that ate my bread? Eh?" Alex questioned, coldly gazing at the guard that he caught by the neck. Then now looking at the guard who was at the peak-phase, Sky Lord stage. "You wanted him to cut off my legs and remove one of my eyes right? Well, since you wanted him to render me useless, why don't I obliterate your man, make him totally useless for you?"

Then applying force, a snap sound rang out as the guard's neck was thoroughly crushed. Alex then released his hand from the mangled neck of the guard, causing his lifeless body to drop to the ground with a heavy thud before him.

Layla who had begun running back to where Alex was saw what happened and couldn't help but gape in shock. Same with the people on the field who had left Alex's immediate vicinity to faraway places. Their eyes at the moment were full of astonishment. Alex had just made killing a senior cultivation expert too easy in their eyes. But they knew that he had the strength to do so. Same with Layla who was extremely shocked. She now understood why Alex said she would understand soon. Then she became angry at herself for not listening to him. Now, she felt that Alex would think she was underestimating his strength, when she should have just believed in him and support him as he was fighting for her cause.

However, she also knew that she couldn't be blamed for that as she didn't want anything bad to happen to Alex.

Besides, she wasn't like Olivia who already had an inkling of how strong Alex was. If she knew, she wouldn't have tried to stop him, and would only tell him to carry on with what was in his mind.

The guards in the air who were shaken heavily by surprise then had unbridled killing intent replace the great surprise in their eyes.

Then very quickly, they produced treasure-weapons and sent out powerful attacks at Alex.
