A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 204: Assholes, have i been able to convince you?

Alex smiled.

"There is no expert. I came with no expert, because I am the expert" He said.

Hahaha!

Jared cackled. 

"So you mean that you little brat is here to kill us and demolish our buildings?" He asked laughingly. 

"Yea." Alex replied. Then he continued "I know about the little girl that you are after. And about the things that you want her to do for you. But anyways, you would never get your hands on her because she has been properly hidden away" 

Once Alex mentioned 'little girl', Jared's and Liam's eyes narrowed. 

Does he truly know what we want the girl for or he is just playing psychology on us? 

"Shut up! I don't want to hear any more word from you. Call out the expert or experts that you came with. Why are the fools still in hiding?" Liam shouted impatiently. 

"I said that I came with no one. There's no expert with me" Alex responded. 

"I am done with this. You, bring me that fool!" Jared ordered angrily as he looked at one of his men that was in the earth adept stage. 

"Yes, Master" The person spoken to said with frosty eyes as he stared at Alex. 

Then he rushed out towards Alex who was waiting at the distance with a smile that gave an absolute feeling of viciousness. 

"Poor lamb waiting to be slaughtered" Alex muttered within. Then he got ready to see blood and even bathe in it. 

As soon as the earth adept stage cultivator appeared in front of him, Alex sent a powerful kick out to the torso of the earth adept stage cultivator. However, the cultivator dodged it by side-stepping to a side. But before he could do anything, the leg that Alex kicked out which he dodged, swung high and very fast that it smashed the earth adept stage expert hard at a side of his face. 

Bang! 

The leg tyrannically struck the man's face and several teeth instantly flew out of his mouth, resulting in him bleeding from it. Also, when the leg impacted his face, due to Alex's leg being powerful as the muscles it possessed were far denser than normal, the man spun in the air three times as he was shoved into the distance before landing back to the ground with a back-breaking heavy thud. 

The man tried standing back to his feet, although he did, his vision was blurry and his hearing completely affected. Also, serious pain racked him at his mouth region. 

So due to his blurred vision, the man didn't know when Alex shot over with one of his legs fully stretched out for a flying kick. 

Bang! 

The man's chest deeply caved in from the heavy strike that it flattened, and he was sent flying for many feet into the distance. 

Then when he landed to the ground, he landed as a dead man. His chest which had been completely flattened out had dozens of bones jutting out from it. Those were his chest and rib bones. And since his chest had been pressed to the point that it was astonishingly flat, his heart had been shattered to fragments in the process. 

Jared's and Liam's eyes shone with great astoundment and disbelief. 

How could a peak-phase condensation stage cultivator dominate a close-quarters battle with an earth adept stage cultivator?

It was simply an incredible spectacle. 

Running out of patience and coldly snorting, Jared commanded in fury "All of you, bring me that fool!!" 

"It's time" Alex said within. 

Then he produced a peerless-grade, earth-rank treasure-sword which began to glow in intense cyan light. 

The sword which was called 'Storm Divider' was a flat, sharp-edged weapon that had numerous voidstones containing wind elemental energy-generation array embedded into it. 

But Alex wasn't using the energy-generating arrays of the sword. Instead, he was powering the sword with his own energy by channelling his cyan-colored windforce energy into it. He did so because the quality (density) of his energy could match that of an earth adept stage expert as it contained wind originforce energy, a primordial realm-energy that transformed his energy into a pseudo-earth rank energy. 

The cyan light that was emanating from the sword was blinding that it dyed the ground and everything around him for more than thirty feet in cyan. 

Once the blade started to gleam, turbulent winds surfaced. This was an influence of the primordial wind energy that was present in his wind energy.

Noticing the sudden tumultuousness of the air, the men that were about to attack Alex were deeply shocked. Their minds shook at the thought that it was Alex's energy that caused the manifestation of the powerful violent gales. 

With air swirling around him and roaring like a raging beast, he gave a feeling that he was the divine god of wind. This was exactly how he was portrayed to his attackers who then felt dread in their hearts. 

Wielding the dazzling sword, he slashed out horizontally, then a wide, cyan-colored ray of focused, wind elemental energy shot out at extreme speed towards the men. 

Seeing his attack, they prepared to defend. 

Very quickly, they projected solid screens of energy in front of their bodies to shield themselves from the incoming wind-carrying energy-attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!... 

Multiple bang sounds rang out as the energy-attack struck the shields. 

Although their energy screens shattered and were knocked back for several feet, they didn't really sustain serious injury. But their blood churned violently within. If such an attack struck them again, they would spurt blood from their mouths and have their chest cave in. However, they could withstand this attack because it was an ordinary attack. Alex wasn't using a battle-method or if he did, they would have been grievously injured or even die from being impacted.

But it wasn't all of them that were struck by the energy-attack, some that weren't in the range of the attack quickly sent out offensives which possessed degrees of profound comprehension of battle-methods at Alex. 

As they shot towards him, Alex who had permeated his eyes with speedforce energy and his leg muscles with strengthforce energy jumped high into the air, about sixty feet, evading the attacks that were shooting towards him. And as he dropped back to the ground from the high altitude that he leapt to, he slashed out numerous times very fast with the dazzling sword in his hand. His speed was actually enhanced by his speedforce energy that had also permeated his reflex and body coordination nerves, increasing his movement speed to high levels. 

When Alex first jumped into the air to that shocking height like he was wickedly catapulted, the men that were about to send out a second round of attacks became terribly astounded. How could a peak-phase condensation stage cultivator jump this high? But they weren't in this badly astonished state for long when they noticed the killing, massive attacks that Alex sent out at them. 

Quickly producing screens of energy in front of themselves again, they tried to shield themselves from the flurries of attacks that he rapidly sent out.

Slash! 

Slash! 

Slash!... 

Dozens of slash sounds rang out as their shields were smoothly cut in halves, and then their bodies, cleanly slashed apart by the large rays of focused windforce energy when it impacted them. Then in the next second, their bodies fell to the ground in two or three parts. 

What? 

The other attackers had their mind spin from fear and terror upon witnessing how their brothers-in-raid died. The had been simply slashed into halves by his energy-attack.

Even Liam and Jared as they floated in the air were greatly surprised. They wondered how rays of solid energy would cut apart the shields that their men quickly put up and then move on to cut their bodies. 

But they wouldn't know that Alex's attacks which was cyan in color also had hues of golden in them. The golden hues present in his attacks were from his swordforce energy. Alex had actually infused his wind elemental attacks with slivers of his golden swordforce energy, with the intention to increase their sharpness. That is, their penetration power and cutting power. 

Olivia who was within the palace couldn't help but look at Alex with surprise in her eyes. 

Looking at Alex with fear, the earth adept stage cultivators, like they were in tandem agreement with each other quickly launched full-powered attacks at Alex. 

Alex saw the incoming attacks and smiled. 

Then he dashed towards them. He didn't even try to evade them. 

As he dashed towards the attacks shooting towards him at extreme speeds, his fist began to glow in a brilliant golden light. He had quickly moved strengthforce energy from his energyhouse to his fist. Therefore, from a distance, it looked like his fist was formed from real, solid gold. But this was because the skin of his fist shone with a golden metallic lustre.

"Ravaging Overlord Golden Fist" 

Alex said and punched out towards a group of attacks that were shooting towards him. 

The moment that he punched out, a massive golden fist of energy shot out of his fist and collided with the attacks. 

BOOM!!

A loud, earth-trembling sound rang out and several extremely blinding, colorful lights erupted from the point of tyrannical collisions of the attacks. Also, the dazzling multicolored brilliance and earth-shaking sound that manifested were instantly accompanied by a large storm of destructive energies. Anything that would be caught in this storm would be reduced to the smallest bits. 

Some of the experts who were caught up in this storm of violent, devastating energies were instantly crushed into pieces. While Alex, who knew the degree of devastation that the collisions of the multiple energy attacks would cause, leapt high into the air. And powerfully swinging his arms backwards as he leapt high into the air, his body was forced to move backwards. Then airborne at a height that he wouldn't be affected by the enormous, raging tidal energies, he put himself into the Tuck aerial position. Bringing his knees to his chest and wrapping his arms around them, he rolled backwards many times before landing back back to the ground. 

Although there was an energy storm, but since Alex's energy-fist attack was formed from strengthforce energy, an energy that it density could match that of a peak-phase heaven adept stage expert, it shot out of the energy storm that it was caught up in, towards the other cultivators that weren't in the range of the storm. 

Emitting golden light that dyed the earth golden, and moving at a tremendous speed, it tyrannically struck many of the earth adept stage cultivators who instantly exploded into mists of blood, and bits of flesh and bones upon being impacted. While the others who were spared from his attack as they weren't in the range of the fist were targeted by Alex who suddenly dashed towards them with the 'Storm Divider' sword in his hand. And using his mutated strengthforce energy to augment the denseness of his leg muscles to gain incredible speed as he permeated them with it, he shot towards them at hundred times the peak speed of a cheetah and leaving behind cloud of dusts and after-images. 

Slash! 

Slash! 

Slash!... 

Slash sounds continuously rang out as Alex who couldn't be seen or perceived because of the great speed he moved at, cut and slashed them apart with the gleaming sword that he expertly wielded. 

ARGH!! 

One of them screamed out in pain as Alex's cyan-glowing sword pierced through his heart. Then in the next instant, his head was cut off from his body. 

When the others turned their heads to see who screamed, what they saw was an headless corpse that blood began to gush out from like a fountain. 

They shouted to their Masters to come help them from Alex who was like a Messenger of Death. But before they could even raise their voice to screech out for help, Alex who was seeing them in slow-motion in his vision gave an evil smile. Then tightly grasping his sword, he shot out again towards them. 

In an instant, dozens of heads dropped to the ground. And when the bodies fell to the ground, blood gushed out from their cut necks like a raging river. 

The few others were greatly terrified at witnessing all these that were happening. Therefore, since they couldn't see what was killing them, they tried rushing back to their Masters for protection from this Grim Reaper. 

Alex who had stopped gave a knowing smile. He understood that this was what they were going to do next. As he looked at them as they scurried away like rats that had seen a giant cat, a light flashed and a crossbow appeared in his hand. He was ready to take down these ones too. There was simply no room for forgiveness. As the Punisher that he had claimed himself to be, he would slay those that deserve to be obliterated, and would viciously punish those that deserve to be punished. 

Wielding the treasure-crossbow, he looked on with a smile that gave hints of chilliness and emotionlessness. 

At the moment, if one looked at Alex's outfit, one would see that it was spotless. One wouldn't find a single spot of blood on his cloth. This was because he was too fast for the many blood showers that he caused to splash on the outfit that he wore. 

Ziu! 

Ziu! 

Ziu! 

Several 'ziu' sounds rang out as Alex shot arrows from the crossbow that he wielded. And them pulsing with the power to cause decomposition and withering, they struck and pierced into the bodies of the earth adept stage cultivators that were on the run for their dear lives from the back.

ARGH!! 

They screamed agonizingly in pain upon being impacted by the pulse-emitting arrows. 

As soon as the treasure-arrows penetrated their bodies, their bodies instantly began to emaciate. Then in the next second, their eyes became void of life before they collapsed to the ground, scattering into dusts upon hitting it.

When Alex took them down, he asked with a smile "Assholes, have I been able to convince you?"
