A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 43: Ironblood

"No. Not at all. It's just my desire to not return home until I reach the earth adept realm. I want to experience life out here." Alex said.

"Hmm. That's harsh." Jake said.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a shout outside.

"Miriam! You stupid whore!.. come out this moment. You are a bastard if you don't answer me."

Huh?!

Both Alex and Jake were taken aback.

Did that bastard really returned or it was someone else?

They went outside to see. And what they saw shocked them. What they could see were dozens of men. There were more than fifty of them to be precise and they were all in the condensation stage, from the late-phase to the peak-phase.

Alex became heavily surprised. These people had gathered a small army for them or what? And they were pretty much in figure. It seemed it was a powerful society.

What if their leader was in the earth adept realm? He hoped not or he would be in a run for his life. He had to be careful, especially now that he was in another city. He also didn't know if this band of troublemakers were vassal forces of a more powerful organization.

If anything else beyond my power I don't expect comes up, I would make a run for it.

If it was to run, Alex knew how to. Although it was relative to who was chasing him. But at his cultivation level and a stage above, he had supreme escaping/running skills which would grow more powerful as he advances to the next cultivation stages.

It was like his father knew he would always be in a 'chasing' problem, so he got him a methodology that could possibly have the best escapement method in the realmverse.

But now, he couldn't run. He had to face it like a man, for someone else was involved and it was a beautiful lady that was an ordinary mortal. If he ran, he couldn't imagine the dark fate that would befall her and her workers.

And for these guys to be so unbridled in the society, like there were no guards or anything to protect people from harm by thugs or brigands, they could rape and slay her and her workers.

Jake looked at Alex. "It seems you won't be needed in this fight." Alex looked at him. "Can you fight all these men yourself? You would be quickly butchered" Jake smiled. "They can try to. But they would never be able to. I am pretty strong." Alex's brows raised. "Okay. But where are the bastardized guards meant to keep peace and order here?"

Jake smiled but seriousness could be seen in his gaze. "What guards? Bastards that would have been tipped off." Alex nodded and looked on and he had slight difficulty swallowing his saliva.

More than fifty he saw here. These people in front of him weren't rank-2 cultivation beasts that couldn't launch attacks constantly.

They were humans that were full of cunningness and were very intelligent and smart. That was what made Alex slightly frightful.

They could strategically think and turn around situations with their level of intellectual brilliancy.

A sword appeared in Jake's hand. It was pulled out from a spatial ring he wore. Alex looked at the sword and could see a purple voidstone affixed in the weapon.

Treasure-weapon.

That was what came to his mind.

"So it was you you kids that haven't grown hairs in there that beat up my men to unconsciousness. I must give it to you, you guys are pretty strong." the man said.

"Scoffs! You that have grown hairs in there and can't use it. Am sure It's many times tiny than your pinky. Useless man" Jake exchanged naughty words with him.

Such disrespect! In a public place. He, the founder of the Ironblood!

The man's eyes glowed with anger. "Bring me that toddler!" he cried out. His men rushed forward like zombies at Jake.

Jake jumped towards them. He wasn't as fearful as Alex. He wielded a class-3 treasure-weapon sword, he was in the peak-phase condensation stage and he studied a C-grade sword-based duality methodology. This gave him confidence.

While airborne, the men sent out attack at him in the air. This was a disadvantage to him as he couldn't fly. But he wasn't horrified.

Thousand swords roaming the skies!

He slashed out with the sword that had begun to glow in resplendent light. The energy produced in the array within the voidstone came off it, and backed by his comprehension of the sword method he studied, the massive swordforce energy released, instantly condensed into thousands of sword.

Swoosh...! swoosh...!

They pierced through the air like an arrow towards these men. They cut through all the men's attacks dispersing them. It was like a hot knife through butter.

Seeing how effortlessly their attacks were nullified, defensive screens of light quickly came up to protect them.

Bang....! Bang....!

Continuous, loud bang sounds rang out as the swords rammed into the screens. Some shattered and the men were pierced while some withstood the energy-sword and both the screen and sword shattered.

When he landed, he ran to meet these people who were shaken up by his attack.

Sword fists!

He sent out his fists that had begun to glow resplendently towards these men. They had been enveloped in swordforce energy.

Bang...!

These glowing fists connected to the chests, faces, shoulders of these men and they were hurled into the distance.

Just as he was sending out hard punches. Someone mysteriously appeared behind him. This person moved like a spectre.

Just as he was about to land Jake a deadly, heavy strike. Alex shouted. "Jake behind you!"

Since he heard the warning shout, he didn't need to look back. Not trying to know where the attack would be coming from. He jumped very high into the air away from the midst of these Ironblood members that flanked him on all sides.

Bang!

The attack this person, the founder of Ironblood sent out blazed forward and struck one of his men. This resulted in his instantaneous death. His head exploded into mists of blood by the powerful force the attack came with.

Heck!

Both Alex and Jake exclaimed in terror. It was good he was watching the whole thing or his newly made friend would be made headless.

Jake eyes became filled with anger. This would have resulted in his death.

"Human emperor sword" he cried and slashed out.

Rmm!

A large amount of swordforce energy erupted from the treasure-weapon sword. It shot like a beam towards the Ironblood founder at extreme speed.

Once Jake slashed out and the beam was produced, the boss jumped into the air over the giant beam of corporeal sharpness-energy shooting towards him.

He skillfully evaded the beam while at the same time sent his own.

Devastating Heavenly slash!

He was also a cultivator of the sword.

A ray of energy shot towards Jake. Before the ray could impact him, he did a beautiful aerial flip over the ray of energy.

At this time, everyone in the street had left to find a place to hide or they would be struck by one of the stray attacks sent out by these combatants.
