Chapter 32: Analysis
Dayton inclined his head. His eyes were fixed on the leader of the group. His eyes contained a frigid coldness so icy that it was as though it had the power to freeze the soul of people he stared at.
"I am the one with the sword.."
Dayton whispered softly, and the instant he finished speaking, a terrifying heat scorched the air as the endless sword qi emitting from him actually coalesced into a silver rapier, as he rushed downwards, from the tree branch.
The leader only heard a small shrill, but for some reason, his heart was pounding with trepidation.
The next instant, he only felt a wave of coldness flashing all across his body. Startled by a sudden fear of death, the leader explosively retreated with a speed as fast as lightning but everything was already too late.
Everything happened in just an instant. Fresh blood seeped out as the body of the leader was split into two pieces, and the eyes of the other cultivators all widened in shock. They couldn't believe what they saw was real. Their leader, who was standing in front of them just a moment ago, was now on the ground, his body sliced right down in the middle, splitting it into two symmetrical parts.
Dayton stepped out with the silver rapier in his hands. The rapier had been stained with blood, and Dayton took out an old piece of cloth from his robes and wiped it clean.
The young man who was being threatened just a few seconds ago, was now standing behind Dayton, stunned by what he was witnessing.
"Senior Manley! How dare you kill him! You're a dead man now!" the group of cultivators shouted as they woke up from their stupor.
Dayton raised his head and revealed a handsome face. He looked extremely sharp as he released his killing intent at full force. He smiled faintly, "Do you honestly think that you have the right to say those words?"
"HOW DARE YOU!" The others all erupted forth. Although the young man was powerful enough to take down their leader, he was only one person. They didn't feel too much fear towards him; as after all, they had more than six experts above the second rank of the sky realm including two at the fourth rank.
"Quick! Kill him before he has a chance to land a strike! He might be strong but he can't handle all of us at once!" The cultivators drew their weapons and rushed forward with surging killing intents.
Dayton waited, as he began to assess and evaluate the situation. Ten cultivators in total. Dayton focused on the two who were in the front; both at the fourth rank of the sky realm, which might be the reason why they were a step in front of the rest. Confidence.
'Now Out of these two, who would attack first?' Dayton thought to himself, as he increased his grip on the silver rapier within his palms.
'Perhaps' His eyes landed on the big guy. Round, smooth and heavy. Just like a bull. Signs of an unbroken nose, scar tissue on his brows, and misshapen knuckles.
'A body strengthening cultivator' So he would most probably fight close range. He would be a guy who wants to grab on and not let go of his prey. That was his best guess. And Dayton was right.
"KILL!"
The big guy led the charge, lunging over to Dayton. The guy exploded out, his head low.
"Bzz!"
Resplendent light flashed from his fists, containing a mighty force that wanted to smash everything. Straight for Dayton's chest. Big mistake.
The big guy charged and Dayton turned slightly sideways and bent his knees a little, timing it just right and executed the Thunder Strike Technique, whereupon his rapier transformed into a streak of light and a powerful sword might bore downwards, saturating the air with an incomparably terrifying killing might.
The rapier moved at the speed of lightning towards the big guy's chest, who was startled by the counterattack, staggering backwards on stiff legs and desperately trying to stay upright. Without having enough time to dodge, he raised his arms in front of his chest, as he tried to block the attack.
The speed of the fully powered Thunder Strike Technique combined with the Silver Rapier was simply too fast. Even if he somehow accurately predicted where the strike would land, he would not be capable of blocking it.
Boom!
By the time he brought up his hands, the Silver Rapier had already pierced his chest. Blood flowed unceasingly from his mouth, and his bulging eyes caused anyone who saw it to be afraid.
The surroundings immediately became quiet. Every one of the cultivators, who were dashing towards him with murderous intent on their faces took in a breath of cold air, as their faces were filled with incredulous looks.
'Now for the next one..' As soon as the big guy fell on his knees, Dayton dashed towards the next person in line; the remaining fourth rank cultivator.
The fourth rank cultivator leaped into the air, chopping ruthlessly at Dayton. He pushed his feet off the ground and gracefully leaned left, effortlessly evading the attack as he swung his rapier.
"Fluttering Blade Lights!" A two meter long azure blue light flashed by in the air, and struck the cultivator right in the head, piercing through his left eye, like pushing through a bloody steak. Blood immediately spewed into the air as the cultivator flopped around for a few seconds before going limb.
Blood dyed his black clothes red. Dayton's aura was raised to its peak, causing everyone to tremble.
