A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 216: The killing stab

Liam who was expecting Alex to continue sending attacks at him saw Alex suddenly fly over.

Then with a vicious smile in his face, he awaited Alex's nearness to him. And when he saw the appalling physical condition of Alex's body, the vicious smile in his face grew wider.

He then had a thought that Alex was definitely suffering from using an incredible external power that he borrowed to unleash the earlier, quasi-Great Saint physical attacks that he sent out at him.

Haha!!

An unbridled raucous laughter suddenly rang out from him, just at the thought that he would kill, possibly the strongest genius of the organization that sent him.

At first, he thought that Alex was some old cultivator inhabiting the body of a young boy. But looking beyond that after observing a few things, he discovered that Alex was no old cultivator, but actually a boy that possessed some insane battle-methods and perverse combat skills.

So, floating calmly where he was, he waited for Alex to get closer to him. He would love to see the new skills that Alex would unleash in his abysmal physical condition.

As Alex dashed in the air at a blazing speed towards Liam with a serious and mischievous gaze present in his eyes, the Thunderous Sky that concealed a large stretch of the actual sky, moved along with him. And as it moved with Alex who was at it center, it unendingly shot thick bolts of lightning like a torrential rain at Liam whose face was full of alternating calm and mocking expressions.

Also, he noticed the different waves of power emitting from the Purifier's sword that Alex wielded, but he didn't actually pay it much attention. This was because the ripples of power that continuously discharged from the sword and caused the air around it to violently churn was just at the Great Saint level. And since he was at the Saint Emperor stage, the vacuuming waves of the different forms of power that unceasingly emanated from within a space in the silver-colored, saber-like curved sword that Alex tightly grasped with seemingly unshakable resolution, shouldn't cause him to be despaired, gloomy or become solemn. He just couldn't be frightened or seriously alarmed by the continuously emitted rippling waves of power. Besides, in his sight, Alex was just like a wounded little child that wanted to get back at a towering, vicious adult with a small knife. However, one should be able to know the end of such; only a gruesome death awaited the child.

Besides, what could Alex do with the sword when he got in front him? Nothing exactly, he thought. He could just lock Alex up in space using his telekinetic power to restrain and restrict his movement. And then cause him to burst into mists of blood by making the telekinetic field that had engulfed his figure and limited his movement, to compress or contract, thereby reducing it area and causing Alex who wouldn't be able to withstand the abrupt, excessive compression of the field to explode into bits of flesh and fragments of bones.

Not long, Alex got to a few feet in front of him.

Once Alex got to his front, Liam aimed his fully stretched hand out at him. Then an unseen force that could act on physical objects, suddenly discharged from his palm and engulfed Alex.

Hahaha!

He grinned evilly.

"Don't I have you in my trap now?" He asked.

But Alex who was exceedingly pressed for time couldn't respond. Then in the next instant, as the actual reply to Liam's question, the image of the immense, hooded headless figure that wielded the white-colored bone scythe that had a blood-red blade suddenly appeared behind him. But this time, the image actually came to live. But it was suddenly. Then unexpectedly, it abruptly lifted the gigantic bone scythe whose blood-colored blade spanned many hundreds of feet above it head. Then it swung down against Liam's head.

Liam's eyes widened in surprise and fear. Then he quickly fired an abruptly-shaped, solid palm of metalforce energy at the scythe that was swinging down like an ax and with a lot of force towards his head.

However, the palm attack that he sent out surprisingly passed through the scythe. The reasons for this were because the scythe couldn't be affected by physical objects, as it was formed from an energy called imageforce energy; a type of realm-energy that produced infinite silhouettes or images. It was an energy that could instantly create unlimited forms of diagrams, pictorial representations of anything that the cultivator imagines or visualizes.

But for the Nine Souls and Seven Lives Bloodharvesting Carnage God Lunar physique, the image of the dreadful figure that surfaced behind Alex was permanent. It couldn't be changed to another image or silhouette as it was the signature image of the lunar-based physique.

The second reason was because of the numerous slivers of phantasmforce energy that it possessed. As a type of realm-energy that created near-realistic illusions, it made Liam think that the image suddenly gained life and tried to strike him with the blade of the scythe that it wielded. When actually, the image was still, not moving, as it was a solid image. The enormous scythe that was powerfully cutting through the air at a great speed towards him to seemingly cut him in halves from his head downwards wasn't actually true. There was no scythe moving towards him. It was simply a strongly persistent illusion; as it didn't instantly vanish before the eyes of Liam, who was at the Saint Emperor stage, while being a Great Saint-tier illusion. Although he would know about this later, but it would be too late by then.

So, since there was no scythe as it was only an illusion, the attack that Liam sent out only shot through the air and off into the far distance, since there was no obstruction in it way, or anything solid and coming in the opposite direction in it path that it could tyrannically impact.

All these made Liam lose his control over the telekinetic field that he produced which enveloped and constricted Alex's figure.

Once Liam totally removed his concentration from the telekinetic field that he projected outwards to spatially cage Alex, so that he could block or push back the illusionary scythe swinging hard towards him, Alex who was enduringly and painfully waiting for this moment, instantly sent out a rapid and continuous massive blast of soul-freezing, lunarforce energy from his entire body at him.

The unceasing, tremendous blast of lunarforce energy that discharged from his body was like a raging and violent stream of compacted black water. That was the way it would be portrayed to anyone that observed this from several feet away.

Once the energy struck Liam, it penetrated into his body and into his soul where it tried to freeze Liam's soul-being.

Although Liam could resist the absolute freezing intent of the lunarforce energy on his soul because of the cultivation stage that he was in, but because the rampaging stream of this energy that impacted him was vastly sized and unending, he couldn't quickly break out from the effect of the energy.

Therefore, this gave Alex the chance that he desired.

Swoosh!

He instantly shot towards Liam who was recovering from the freezing intent of the lunarforce energy that continually bombarded his soul.

Although Liam noticed this, but before he could aim a palm out at Alex who was already in front of him and release the caging telekinetic field again to trap him and bring about his explosion into mists of blood, Alex suddenly stabbed deep into him with the sword, but with minimal effort as The Purifier's sword was exceedingly razor-sharp.

Then as soon as he wickedly impaled Liam with the sword at the left side of the chest, accurately piercing through his heart organ and cutting them into two, he caused all the stored, compacted energies, and the fused condensate of power to be entirely and violently released in an instant.

BOOOOMM!!

Like several stacked, massive bombs that detonated at once, numerous devastating energies exploded outwards from Liam's body.

The simultaneous deafening explosions were very powerful that they seemingly caused the sky to shake, and then instantly created a large spherical region of vacuum around Liam as they pushed the air for hundreds of feet in his vicinity away and into the far distance in every paths. And as the energies bursted out from the impaled sword like actual explosions from detonated bombs, they dyed the Thunderous Sky in their many colors and produced several destructive waves that swept horizontally and vertically into the far distance in all directions.

Then if one observed the rampaging streams of energies that had now concealed the Thunderous Sky, one would see an astonishing amounts of lightning bolts that shot in every direction, illuminating everywhere in it color. It could simply be described as a small, exceedingly turbulent sea of electricity. While the other energies which were deathforce energy and darkforce energy, existed as immense clouds that had suddenly, explosively surfaced from within Liam.

Then at the same time that those energies rushed into the air like they were extremely furious floods, a massive, five-colored, solid beam of unparalleled destructive power, shot out from within the sword and in every direction, radiating crushing pressure and the power of ruination. It simply gave the feeling that it was a devastating, rippling berserk energy that shone with a multicolored radiance and was unleashed by a god.

Many moments later...

Calmness returned to the air. Then The Purifier's sword could be seen stabbing into a deep crater in the earth.
