A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 44: Awed

When the men saw their boss was engaging Jake. They tried to run into the inn to drag out Miriam and her workers.

Alex thought they were coming for him. So he prepared himself for battle.

He wasn't scared of them as he knew how powerful his attacks were. But he had to be careful lest he would raise attention of terrific experts and that he didn't want. Right now, he saw he had no other choice than to fight. They were coming for him.

Windfist!

He punched out and a glowing fist of energy shot out of his fist towards the men. As it shot out, all the air in far distances were mysteriously pulled towards it. They came like furious gales from far places as they howled like primordial dragons.

Then they wrapped around the glowing energy fist and compacted, taking the form of a fist. This fist formed from wind became extremely solid due to great compaction.

In a few seconds, it had grown from just a feet to twenty feet in size and it growth didn't end.

The men's eyes widened in fear. They quickly produced screens of light. But they couldn't withstand the impact of something that had slivers of divineforce energy in it.

Bang!

Their screens were smashed apart and they were knocked back heavily.

The moment the roaring gales came, both Jake and the Ironblood founder halted briefly to see what had caused that phenomenon and were shocked to see that it was Alex's energy fist attack that had caused such strong winds to appear.

Like the wind was sentient, they saw it enwrapping the energy fist also becoming a fist that looked very solid.

Their mind reeled in awe and shock.

Alex knew all of his wind-based attacks weren't normal. Anytime he sent out wind-attacks, air was pulled towards them from all directions.

This was mainly because of slivers of wind originforce energy (wind statutes) in his attacks. They pulled air towards his attacks and augmented their destructive capacities.

Disperse!

The glowing energy fist scattered away. It lost it corporealness, rapidly dissipating and flowing back into the world.

This was another ability of cultivators. They were linked to their attacks and could cause it dissolve to prevent further damage .

Alex caused this to happen so his attacks which seem to have rapid boundless growth won't move on and destroy structures in here and in the process destroying lives.

There were mortals here, he couldn't have their blood on his head. If he were in valleys, caves or in the wildernesses, he wouldn't mind his attacks reaching out to places as far as possible.

Jake quickly recovered from his shock.

Shua!

He sent out a flying kick to the torso of the Ironblood founder. Just as his leg was about to connect to the man's torso, the man gave a devious smile and stretched out his hand, grabbing Jake by the feet.

Jake's eyes widened. Before he could turn around, it was already too late. The man grabbed his leg and swung him to the ground with all the strength he could muster.

Prak!

Jake's shoulder cracked once he impacted the ground hardly. He had smashed into the ground with his right shoulder.

As soon as he collided with the ground, he shrieked out in pain and lost his sword.

....

The other men were surprised by the attack Alex sent out. Then they became terrified.

Did this boy just produced that powerful attack?

Once they recollected themselves from the awe that sent their minds reeling. They readied to attack him. He wasn't in their scheme of things before but since he attacked them alone, showing how bold he was and, without warning, they would reveal their ferociousness to him.

Alex saw their gazes and his mind roiled. He knew what they were about to do. Once they unleashed their attacks, they would devastate the inn. He couldn't allow this to happen.

Ravaging wind dance!

His eyes glowed in cyan and the air around him abruptly turned into powerful gales that swept out towards the men before him like raging floods.

The wind swept the men away, even as they jumped to evade it. While Alex did this, he suddenly heard the sound of cracking bones.

He quickly looked there and saw Jake on the floor. Pain was written all over his face.

Alex quickly ran towards the man.

Once the man saw Alex running over. Still holding Jake's leg, he gathered strength and threw Jake at Alex. He hurled Jake like a rock at Alex.

The glow in Alex's eyes intensified and the air around Jake quickly compacted reducing the momentum he was coming with. It was like he was moving through a quagmire as the air offered a lot of resistance. It greatly slowed the speed he came with.

Alex caught him and gently placed him on the ground. He looked at Jake and saw pain plastered all over his face as he was pale white and gritted his teeth. He looked like he was going through hell.

He quickly produced a saint-rank healing pill which he gave to Jake. In an instant, the pain vanished and the wound healed up.

He then pulled him up to his feet. "How do you feel?" he asked. "Good!" Jake said in an angry tone. Alex smiled.

Jake was really angry now.

"Do you want to handle him or we should go together?" Alex asked. "No. I made an error. Deal with his men while I deal with this bastard. It's been long I killed. I would slay him". Jake replied.

Go!

The two of them ran forward. Jake went to meet the Ironblood founder while Alex went to meet the more than fifty members of the Ironblood.

And so a great battle started.....

Lesser hundred killing slash!

Jake swung his hand out in a slashing fashion. Then dozens of wide, crisscrossing beams condensed from swordforce energy shot out towards the Ironblood founder.

Earth-lacerating slash!

The moment Jake sent out his attack, the Ironblood founder reciprocated.

A large beam of energy produced from swordforce energy surfaced and shot towards Jake's attack at an extreme speed.

Peng!

It was like two swords struck one another. A small sphere of vacuum surfaced which was instantly accompanied by powerful ripples of energy.

The energized waves of air released from the collision knocked back Jake and the man by many feet.
