Alex opened his eyes slowly and felt his head resting on something soft. His vision was blurry as his eyes had yet to adapt to the light. A figure appeared in his front of him. It was one of the girls he recruited last night. Her name was...Xiao Ming.
She was the most promising out of everyone as she had a talent for cultivation.
Alex snapped out of his daze and stood up. Xiao Ming was surprised but quickly returned to normal. She stood up after Alex and fixed up his clothes.
*Knock* *Knock*
Someone knocked on his office door. Alex went to his desk while Xiao Ming was serving him some tea.
"Come in!"
After hearing Alex's voice, a man came in and reported something interesting.
"Master, people are standing outside with torches"
"Huh?" Surprised, Alex increased his perception distance and saw about 15 men holding torches. It was the middle of the night and people were still out of their houses? Strange.
Alex nodded and walked out with him. He had given all his workers money to find somewhere to stay. A quarter of them stayed at night cleaning the place up.
He looked out the window and saw evil smiles on the people outside.
....
-Outside the building-
The people that were standing in front of Alex's building were all gangsters. They knew the owner must have been loaded with money to buy this building. They found out that it would be a type of shop. They had captured a couple of his female workers to threaten him into giving them money.
Even if the owner of the shop gave them money, they would still take the workers as they were beauties. Experts above Qi Condensation were rare so they didn't worry about Alex having an Earth Realm cultivation base.
Even if Alex was an Earth Realm Expert, they had their own means of restraining him. They had 15 people here with them, what could go wrong?
They started having evil smiles on their faces. Little did they know that the person they were trying to mess with had the Skill-Creation System. A system capable of making impossible things possible like slaying a god or create anything its user desired.
The captured workers were worried as they knew the pan of these people. Now, all they can do is pray that Alex would save them without getting himselft hurt. The people created by Alex, however, were not scared in the slightest as they knew that he possesed a massive amount of power. If not, how could he create them. They could only mourn for the poor souls that dared to cross Alex.
.....
The gangsters that were there were all Qi Condensation Grade-3 to Grade-8. Alex calmly looked at them while sipping his tea. He only frowned upon seeing his workers tied up. He flicked his fingers and a 4 layered barrier appeared over them. This multi-layered barrier included a Soul Power Barrier, a Qi Barrier, a Magic Barrier and an Earth Realm Formation. Although it was kind of overkill for such a small situation, it didn't affect Alex in the slightest so why not.
Alex looked at the gangsters in fornt of his shop and smirked. He had just thought of a brilliant idea. He started walking out of the building and stood at the doors.
"H-Huh?" Alex acted surprised as he looked at the gangsters in front of him. He tried to put on an expression of fear while containing his laughter.
The thugs caught on to this reaction and their lips curled up. Some even started insulting Alex.
"Oh it's just a coward! Now I am kind of feeling bad for him~"
"Just because he had a lot of money, he thinks he can do whatever he wants, but standing in front of power, he is shaking in his boots!"
The girls that were praying for Alex to save them started doubting his skills. They looked towards Alex and met his calm gaze. Alex winked at them and ran inside the shop. When Alex reached inside, he went to the 2nd floor and used 'Close-Range Teleportation' to teleport out of the building. He decided to observe what the gangsters would do.
The girls finally understood Alex's plan so they secretly chuckled and smiled. Although some gangsters were confused, they didn't bother. They were angered because Alex didn't come and kneel in front of them or give them any money. He just came out and ran back in.
They started throwing punches and sword attacks at the building. Some of them even threw their torches at it.
A light suddenly appeared, surrounding the building. A barrier was erected out of nowhere and every attack dissipated. The barrier came from the system. It looked at Alex's defense attribute and created a barrier equivalent to it. Alex had the defense of a Sky Realm Grade 6 Cultivator. These attacks couldn't even crack the barrier.
The gangsters were confused and try to run into the shop but the barrier was like an impenetrable wall that blocked their way.
Alex was happy seeing that they cound't break into his shop. He jumped down from where he was watching and cut the ropes that tied his workers. Alex then looked at the people who were trying thir hardest to enter the building and smirked. He released and concentrated massive amounts of killing intent at them.
The gangsters felt like Death was about to reap their souls. They felt as if they had no hope to run away. They started to wonder what monster did they dare to offend.
Alex's figure flickered as he appeared right in front of them. He slashed horizontally at their necks with just his nails. The attack was so fast that they couldn't even put up a defensive stance.
Their heads flew off their bodies and blood spurted out everywhere. Alex quickly used Elemental Magic to conjure a flame and burned their blood before it touched the ground. He then used 'Infinte Soul Convergence' to imprison their souls and store them. He then appeared in front of his workers
The girls were just watching with wide eyes. Alex's attacks were so fast that he just blurred and became normal while facing them. Behind him were the gangsters. Their lifeless bodies with detached heads were burning and there was not a single drop of blood anywhere.
"Let's go. You guys need to cultivate hard to help me in the future." Alex told them as slowly walked back into the shop. Alex glowed a stange light that made his followers fall in a daze. They snapped out of it after a while and quickly went to find a place to rest. They still had their masks on to not attract any lustful guys.
