*BOOM* A vast purple dome appeared covering a few miles of the forest
" A sealing formation? " Tercres said seeing the barrier above him and Chen Kai, he was very calm, but Chen Kai made a serious expression and said " Bastards, this one is ten times stronger than the previous one "
" It's a quite decent formation, yes, but it doesn't have any other effects in it as I see " Tercres said seeing the barrier above them with a calm expression, Chen Kai grits his teeth, and thinks ' Those bastards, I can't break a formation like this, the one making it must be Lin Wu, I can't get closer to him... ' Suddenly *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* The men appeared, surrounding both of them ' With them around '
The five who were surrounding them were Elders from the Divine Sect as expected they were old with white beards and hair, all of them wore white robes and the strength of four of them were in the Advanced State of the Spiritual Core Formation a strength far above Chen Kai's who should be in the Half-Step Spiritual Core after his last Zenkai
Chen Kai begins to scan the old men with an angered face ' Elder Rong, Elder Meng, Elder Xuegang, Elder Guanyu, and even Elder Jin are here '
Elder Rong was a tiny old man, he had long white hair and a beard that he was stroking constantly
Elder Meng was the tallest of the present elders, he had a bulky body, long white hair, and a face full of scars
Elder Xuegang also has long white hair tied in a ponytail and a short beard, he is the same size as Elder Guanyu a little bit smaller than Tercres and Chen Kai
Elder Guanyu could be called a calm-looking old man with his small smile and narrowing eyes but Chen Kai knew that it was all a fake, he was known for being brutal with his enemies and everyone who dared to mistreat his students, it was a shame that Chen Kai wasn't his student anymore
And finally, Elder Jin, who was the skinniest and more fragile-looking of all the present Elders. He was bald and had a face full of wrinkles, despite that, Chen Kai seemed to be more fearful of him than the other ones
' Why is that old fart here?! ' Chen Kai thought gritting his teeth and looking at Elder Jin with anger. Elder Jin is the current Disciplinary Elder of the Divine Sect, his position is above all the present Elders even Lin Wu has to show some respect to him, which means his powers are far above every elder here, Chen Kai could feel that his strength doubles every one of them
" Mmm... his strength must be in the Dual Spirit Core Rotation State I think, still, I think you can use him as a stepping stone to increase your powers, just play your cards correctly " Tercres said to Chen Kai seeing Elder Jin with a very calm expression
Chen Kai couldn't do anything more than curse Tercres from the inside wanting him to just shut up, if it wasn't for him, he would have already escaped
And with that, Elder Meng says seeing Tercres " He is the second signal that the artifact showed " Then Elder Xuegang says " Then he must die as well, we can't take any chances with them "
Tercres raised an eyebrow and said " Artifact? What are you talking about? "
Elder Meng smiles slightly and says " You don't need to know that "
Tercres keeps his calm expression and says " Ok whatever, just now that I don't have any wishes to fight against you, whatever problem you have with him is not of my business"
The old men and even Chen Kai saw him with surprise ' This bastard isn't planning to help me at all? ' Chen Kai thought, then Elder Jin smiled as he stroked his beard and said " Still you will die as well, young man, you shouldn't choose this path "
" Kill them! " Yelled Elder Meng, Chen Kai grits his teeth and " HAAA! " He shoots his Spirit Cannon at Elder Jin. Elder Jin, Elder Meng, and Elder Xuegang who were next to each other vanished from their previous positions evading Chen Kai's attack, and then *BOOM* the Spirit Cannon exploded destroying a big part of the forest
Chen Kai grits his teeth and in a swift movement he turns around and with his palms covered in bright yellow lights he attacks the elders behind him with a barrage of Ki blasts
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The Ki blasts exploded in quick successions but then *BANG* " Ugh! " Elder Meng appeared beside Chen Kai and punched his face breaking his nose and sending him flying to the forest
*BANG* *BANG* Chen Kai broke a few trees with his body until it finally stopped, he felt dizzy from the punch but still he stood as fast as he could
" What a destructive power he has, that explains why he can beat those stronger than him, but still it's useless when you miss them " Elder Meng said looking at the destruction that Chen Kai caused
" It's a fascinating cultivation technique, I wonder how it works " Elder Guanyu said with a smile he was behind Elder Meng, together with Elder Rong, and Elder Xuegang, the only one missing was Elder Jin
Elder Xuegang noticed that Tercres was still in the same position from before, keeping a calm face as he looked in the direction where Chen Kai was sent flying, so he said " You really aren't going to help him? Brats these days aren't loyal at all "
Tercres turns to see the four old men, keeping his calm face to then say " I'm not interested that's all "
" As we told you before it doesn't matter, you have to die " Said Elder Meng with a cold face
" You are very stubborn old men, why don't you leave the place before I change my mind " Said Tercres with annoyance
The four old men frowned at Tercres' comments then Elder Meng said with anger " You impudent brat, you don't know who are you talking to "
Elder Meng seemed to want to attack Tercres but then Elder Xuegang touched his shoulder stopping him, Elder Meng saw him with a frowning expression, but before he could refute Elder Xuegang said to Tercres " Listen well, brat, If you kneel and ask us for forgiveness, we will let you live with the condition of handing over the cultivation technique that you two use, you don't have to die, besides you don't have the strength to challenge us, much less to act as arrogant as you are now "
Tercres rolls his eyes in annoyance and whispers " Always the same sh*t "
Elder Xuegang frowns and emits a powerful aura from his body, the aura makes a great part of the forest tremble and then with a powerful voice, he says " Now what is your choice? kneel or die! "
*SIGHS* Tercres sighs with exasperation and says " Boring "
The tension between the elders and Tercres grows even more
A few moments ago
Chen Kai stood and cleaned the blood from his nose ' I didn't even see who attacked me, and not only that I couldn't even hit them, those bastards are fast '
Then *SLAP* " Agh! " *BANG* Chen Kai received a slap on the nape that made him crash face to the ground
" Little brat, not only did you abandon the Sect you joined another one as quickly as possible, that's unforgivable " Elder Jin was standing near Chen Kai making a cold expression as he stroked his beard
Chen Kai grits his teeth and clenches his fists, then he jumps far away from the Elder using his hands as support, he rolls in the air and when he lands he faces Elder Jin with an angered expression " And what about it? Your stupid sect didn't even teach me anything, you bastard! "
Elder Jin narrowed his eyes and *ZOOM* he disappears
Chen Kai opens his eyes in surprise, then " Ha! " He attacked with a quick back elbow with his right arm when he felt a presence behind him but *GRAB*
Elder Jin grabs Chen Kai's elbow with his left hand as he keeps stroking his beard with the right one, and then he begins to increase the pressure on Chen Kai's arm " Argh! " Yelled Chen Kai from the pain
" Without rules, the world would be more chaotic than it is right now, so those who break them, deserve to be punished " Elder Jin said Coldly and *CRACK* " AAH!! " He broke Chen Kai's arm by squeezing it
Chen Kai made a pained expression, he turned around and sent a punch at Elder Jin's face with his left fist " Ho " Elder Jin smiled and released Chen Kai's broken arm and using the same hand *CLAP* he stopped Chen Kai's fist with his palm " It's good to be young, you are still full of energy "
Chen Kai grits his teeth in anger and *CRACK* " AAH!! " Elder Jin kicks him on the right knee breaking it in the process
Chen Kai kneeled on the ground while his left hand was still being grabbed by Elder Jin ' F*cking old bastard! ' Thought Chen Kai then *PAM* " Ugh! " Elder Jin kicks Chen Kai once again but this time he kicks his chest *SWOOSH* Chen Kai flies away and crashes against a huge rock *BANG* he crashes against the rock creating a great hole in it " Agh... " he vomits a mouthful of blood
Chen Kai raised his head to see Elder Jin's smiling face with anger and frustration, he could feel that every bone in his chest was broken even his back was affected by the crash with the rock ' F*cking bastard, it's his fault! ' He thought, not thinking about Elder Jin in front of him, but Tercres, who forced this situation
Elder Jin was walking calmly toward Chen Kai while stroking his beard but suddenly *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *CRASH* The sound of multiple trees being torn apart echoed behind him, so he turned around and just as he did that a corpse landed a few meters next to him
" Mmm? " He made a surprised expression, and finally he stopped stroking his beard, The corpse was none other than Elder Meng, his neck was twisted, and his head was shattered on the entire left side, Elder Jin frowned and disappeared like a smoke
Chen Kai used the opportunity to grab a Senzu Bean from his vest and eat it
Then after eating it, he stood gritting his teeth with anger, he turned to see Elder Meng's corpse, and seeing the state he was left he calmed his anger down ' It must be him who did that, what kind of strength he have? ' Chen Kai couldn't help to feel slightly fearful of Tercres' power but didn't he say he isn't going to fight them? Then why did he kill Elder Meng?
Chen Kai shook his head and made a serious expression then he ran to the place where all the energies were gathered and despite that, he still couldn't feel Tercres's energy
On the other side of the forest
Elder Jin arrived and found the rest of the elders seeing Tercres like he was a ghost, all of them were pale and weren't moving an inch " Mmm? " Elder Jin frowned seeing them then he turned to see Tercres who hadn't moved from his starting position and with a calm voice Elder Jin said " What happened? "
The Elders finally react at the sound of Elder Jin's voice it seems that his presence has brought them some calm and Elder Jin notices that ' What happened that made them so scared? ' Elder Jin wondered
Then Elder Xuegang was the first of the Elders to break the silence saying " E-Elder Meng's head exploded, and his body disappeared the moment he got closer to the kid "
Elder Jin frowns and turns to see Elder Xuegang then he says with doubt " I saw his corpse inside the forest, but are you telling me that this kid killed him? " Elder Jin, like the rest of the Elders, couldn't feel at all Tercres' power or energy, even with the help of the artifact that only shows them where they are
" I... " Elder Xuegang was speechless facing Elder Jin angered expression then Elder Rong spoke making a very serious expression seeing Tercres who was seeing them with a calm expression " He is right Elder Jin the boy killed Elder Meng, the strength he has is unbelievable, he could be slightly weaker than you, Elder Jing "
Elder Jin frowns and turns to see Tercres with a serious expression then he puts his hands behind his back and a white aura appears around him, the rest of the Elders are a little shocked, after all, this is going to be the first time that they saw Elder Jin fought with his full strength, they move aside but suddenly
*SWOOSH* *BANG* " Ugh! " A flash arrived before the fight between Elder Jin and Tercres could begin, and it hit Elder Xuegang right in the face *BANG* *BANG* *BOOM* Elder Xuegang hit a few trees when he was sent flying by the hit, and he disappears into the forest, but everyone saw the huge dome shake, it seems that Elder Xuegang didn't stop until he hit the dome
All the elders were in shock then *SWOOSH* the flash became visible to them, it was Chen Kai who then charged against Elder Jin after he kicked Elder Xuegang and *PAM* he sent a fast and powerful punch against Elder Jin who stopped it with his left hand
Chen Kai grits his teeth and attacks Elder Jin again, this time he creates a Ki ball in his left hand and throws it toward Elder Jin's face
" ...?! " Elder Jin opens his eyes slightly at the surprise of Chen Kai's incoming attack then with a quick movement of his head, he evaded the attack to punch Chen Kai in the face again
Chen Kai bounced on the ground several times from the strong punch he received, but he still regained his posture very quickly. Chen Kai frowns seeing Elder Jin as he cleans the blood coming from his mouth and nose with his right forearm
Tercres smiled seeing that then he turned to see Elder Jin once again, Elder Jin couldn't believe what he was seeing and he wasn't the only one, Elder Guanyu and Elder Rong were amazed by Chen Kai but their surprise differed from each other, Elder Guanyu and Elder Rong were surprised that Chen Kai beat Elder Xuegang with just one kick, while Elder Jin thought something else ' How is he here and completely healed on top of that? Even his strength increased, what is going on? '
" How are you still standing you brat? " Said Elder Jin with a very serious expression " You shouldn't be able to stand " he continued
Chen Kai frowns and grits his teeth, still sat from the pressure coming from Elder Jin, despite his Zenkai he still was below him and he could feel that
" Change of plans, you will come with us, I will find out every secret you have even if I have to tear you apart to do it " Said Elder Jin with a frowning expression, and then *SWOOSH* he turned to smoke and vanished
And suddenly *PAM* " ...?! " A loud clash resounded, and Chen Kai felt a strong air stream coming from his right side, the current forced him to close his right eye and even move his long spiky hair, then after a couple of seconds he turned his head quickly to the right side and jumped a few meters away to the left
Chen Kai opened his eyes wide at what he saw " How is that possible? " said Elder Guanyu in shock, it seems that Chen Kai wasn't the only one surprised
Tercres was grabbing Elder Jin's right wrist with a calm expression, while Elder Jin saw him with wide eyes, he couldn't believe that Tercres moved as fast as him much less stopped his attack with too much ease
" I change my mind old man, I think I will join the fight now " Said Tercres with a slight grin, Elder Jin sees Tercres with amazement then *PUM* " Ugh...!! " Elder Jin received a powerful punch in the guts that made him open his eyes wide and take his breath
" ...!! " Chen Kai, Elder Guanyu, and Elder Rong couldn't believe what they were seeing
' I couldn't see his punch at all, how powerful is he? ' Thought Chen Kai seeing Tercres while Elder Jin Jin grits his teeth then he said with anger " You brat you aren't the same as him "
But Tercres smiled and said " Let's begin old man, just you and me "
