A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 210: Enters a bet

"The Punisher?" Liam asked in a perplexed tone.

"Yes" Alex replied with a smile.

"Hmm" Liam uttered. Then he asked "So you have being sent by your organization to come punish us?"

"No. I have been sent here to kill you. All of you. You people are a menace to the society" Alex replied.

"Kill? How exactly did we offend your organization? What has my organization done to yours to bring about the whatever bounty that has been placed on our heads?" Liam asked.

"Well, like I said earlier, I was sent here to eliminate you vile spawns. The problems that you have caused in the society has reached the brink. My organization doesn't want you guys to exist anymore. So I am here to wipe all of you out" Alex replied, like as if he was truly from an organization.

Olivia who was listening to all that Alex and Liam said from within the palace that still remained concealed in a layer of space, couldn't help but burst out a laugh.

Pfffft!

"Organization? What an asshole! When he's done with all these, I would love to know what organization he's from." Olivia said still laughing.

It sounded really funny to her.

Of all things that he could come up with, that was what he could bring up to respond to the question that he was asked.

She simply shook her head with a smile hung in her face.

"And maybe it's the name of the organization that he plans to establish in future" The ancient voice of the palace-spirit suddenly rang out.

Olivia was taken aback by the sudden contribution of the palace-spirit.

Then when she thought of what it said, she uttered with sparkling eyes. "Hmm. You must be right, palace-spirit"

"Of course, I would be right" The palace-spirit said.

Then with an agreeable nod and a smile hung in her face, Olivia said "Okay"

....

"I see" Liam said. Then he spoke further "So you are truly here to wipe us all out, right? Although, you may possess the power to kill our Earth adept stage cultivators and Sky Lord stage cultivators, but that is too little to deal with our other men who are in the Heaven Adept stage and Saint stage. Then US!"

Haha!

Alex cackled.

"Shall we take a bet?" Alex asked.

"What bet do you want?" Liam asked in a surprisingly calm manner.

"If I successfully kill all the Heaven Adept stage cultivators and Saint stage cultivators that you have, you would give me the location of that cave which you entered, that transported you to the strange region where you discovered the crystal-skinned beast with the power over the five element" Alex said looking at Jared, who gazed back at him with a sinister light emitting from his eyes.

"Hmm" Liam muttered. Then he asked "And if you fail?"

"If I fail, I would give you the location of the beast that I took from you, the spatial rings containing all your sweats since ten thousand years ago... and the location of the organization that I came from" Alex said. Then he questioned "Making sense right?"

Liam's and Jared's eyes glittered.

The location of the organization that he came from!

They would really want to raid there and take all the supreme-grade and peerless-grade, defensive and offensive treasure-artifacts, then the battle methodology manuals that they studied and the cultivation resources that they consumed.

Hahaha!

They both grinned evilly within at the same time.

This would definitely be their catapult to fame, and domineering ability to cast terror over other establishments and organizations.

"Agreed!" Liam said.

Then he called out "Leia!"

"Yes, Ghostblade Lord!" An hooded lady responded venerably from within the large numbers of Saint stage cultivators floating in the air. Then she shot out towards him.

When she appeared in front of him, Liam said to her "You heard what he said. He wants to fight all of you. And since he wants to fight all of you, he basically means that he want to fight even the things that you all possess to increase your battle power. Like you, what you tame and control. Haha! Release your beasts and use them against him"

"Alright, Ghostblade Lord" The young lady who wore a large hood over her head and was in the peak-phase Saint stage said.

Then with a wave of her hand, a bag appeared in the air. And as soon as this bag appeared, space warped in front of it and hundreds of beasts could suddenly be seen. They were teleported out of the bag by her command.

When they appeared, her eyes then suddenly turned white. Same with her raven-black hair which was covered by the large hood that she wore. Then in the next instant, a glowing blue crystal appeared at the center of her forehead. She had actually summoned a physique.

Then a strange form of power shot out from her transformed body in the form of an aura and engulfed all the hundreds of beasts in front of her. And as soon as they were engulfed by this power which penetrated into their bodies and permeated them, the eyes of the hundred beasts before her also turned white.

With a vicious smile in her face, she uttered "Go!"

Roarrr!

Grraaa!...

The beasts which were peak-phase, heaven stage beasts bellowed furiously. Then they shot at insane speeds towards Alex in the distance.

Alex saw this and got ready for battle.

Very quickly, two swords appeared in his hand. One was the Purifier's sword which was silver in color, while the other was a peerless-grade, heaven-rank treasure-sword and was crimson in color. From the color that it possessed, one would know that it was a sword with fire-producing arrays. But Alex wasn't going to activate the fire-sprouting arrays in the scarlet-colored treasure-sword that he had just produced, only because he wouldn't be able to withstand the aura of the Power of Incineration and Blaze that would emanate from it. However, since it was a heaven-rank sword, the sharpness that it would possess should enable it to penetrate into the bodies of the heaven-rank beasts and cut or slash them apart into halves.

Then apart from the two swords that he now wielded in which the silver-colored one continuously emitted large-area, air-churning, rippling waves of great and alarming sharpness, a large green halberd with a massive, blood-red blade, and an exceedingly long, blue-colored spear with a gold-violet spearhead, appeared and strapped to the back of the wings that attached to his back. Also, a gauntlet appeared on one of his arm. Then activating it resulted in the emission of a thin ray of energy to a few feet in front of him which then spread open like flowers into a massive, octagon-shaped screen of energy.

Seriously arming himself with weapons and enhancing his perception of speed with the speedforce energy that had permeated his eyes, he got ready to slay.

Not long, the raging beasts produced by the Saint-level lady appeared in his vision.

With ever-increasing deafening roars like they had seen their worst enemy, they rushed frenziedly towards him.

"Time for battle" Alex said. Then battle intent began to erupt from his eyes. 

Suddenly, a massive bolt of black lightning shot towards him from one of the beasts.

Although the lightning-attack which was a heaven-tier attack shot at great speed towards him, Alex could still see it in a bit of slow-motion.

Then he shot away from the energy-attack, evading it.

But just as he dodged that, hundreds of black bolts of lightning suddenly shot towards him very fast.

His eyes widened in shock, then he brought the arm wearing the gauntlet in front of him. As he carried that arm to block, the octagon-shaped screen of energy that was continually produced by the gauntlet that he wore on that arm was also brought to his front.

BANG!

Many of the faster bolts simultaneously struck the large defensive screen that he placed in front of him by bringing the arm that wore the gauntlet which produced the screen to his front. Then because of the momentum and solidness that they came with, the screen was heavily knocked backwards. This also resulted in Alex being shoved backwards for many feet by the force that the fierce bolts delivered into it upon collision. But the shield didn't shatter, it withstood the destructive forces yielded by the bolts upon impact with it.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!...

More of the immense lightning bolts that were launched by one of the hundreds of soul-controlled, Heaven-rank beast, tyrannically struck the shielding screen generated by the gauntlet, and this caused Alex, who wore the defense-type treasure-gauntlet that produced the screen, to be heaved further into the distance. Then due to the unceasing impacts of the lightning bolts with the screen, cracks began to appear on it surface. However, the screen didn't shatter. Instead, it healed as energy was being continuously produced by the gauntlet that created the energy screen.

Not long, the collisions ended. But he had been knocked to a distance of several hundred feet.

He gazed at them from where he was using the far-seeing ability of his god-eyes. Then he could see a mocking smile in the face of the lady that controlled the beasts. And employing his powerful hearing ability, he heard the Saint-level lady utter 'go', then the beasts, after receiving the command, rage to the sky once more and shot towards Alex at great speeds.

Alex this time took the initiative to go meet the beasts.

Using the wings strapped to his back for flight, he tried to do something. Since he had the ability to erupt energy from any part of his body, he tried to discharge energy from his legs. And the energy that he chose to expel from his legs was his pyroforce energy; fire-elemental energy. Then as a wide and huge stream of fire which quickly discharged from his entire lower body at an astonishing rate, he darted like a fuel-burning rocket towards the beasts.

The lady who saw everything that the beasts she soul-controlled saw, became shocked. But not only her, Jared, his uncle and their men became astounded too.

It was impossible to emit energy from other part of the body other than the hands. But Alex was doing such, and that by rapidly releasing astonishing amount of fiery energy from his entire lower body to boost his flying speed.

Olivia who had gotten enough of Alex's surprising abilities only smiled and shook her head as she watched him perform spectacularly from the screen.

Since he had created a method to increase his flying speed, Alex who wasn't worried over the large amount of energy that was expelling from his body, further increased the discharge rate of the fire-energy. Then with a continuous and tremendous, exceedingly-rapid burst of fire energy from his lower body in a jet-like fashion, he shot at insane speeds towards the beasts. Besides, his flight-speed was further increased to a shocking level by the speedforce energy that produced the Power of Acceleration. As slivers of this energy erupted from his lower body, along with the unceasing, abrupt discharge of enormous amounts of pyroforce energy, it heightened Alex's speed to the maximum, giving a great boost to the method that Alex was using.

After crossing the hundreds of feet that he was knocked to by the earlier lightning-attacks in a very short time, he appeared in front of the hordes of frenzied beasts.

One of the massive, heaven-rank beasts which was directly in front of him opened it mouth to swallow him. But Alex shot below it. Then with the purifier sword and the heaven-grade sword that he wielded, he stabbed into the belly of the beast and dragged them across the full length of the beast belly.

The instant that he impaled the beast with the swords, the beast screamed out in pain, while the lady who was mind-connected to the beasts, and felt what they felt, shrieked in agony when Alex pulled the deeply stabbed swords from one end of it belly to the other end. Then blood began to gush out from the lines of incision that Alex made into it belly using the sword.

Immediately he finished cutting the beast belly, he pulled out the swords that had stabbed deeply into it belly, and then dashed speedily away, or he would be collapsed upon by the beast that would plummet to the earth at a tremendous speed and crash into it, opening up a deep crater in it by virtue of the immense weight that it possessed. If he was caught up beneath the beast that would fall heavily into the earth, he could die along with it.

Then he shot out again at a great speed towards another massive beast that was in his sight.
