A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 305: Layla's resolve

"Were you planning on killing the guards?" A law enforcement agent under the City Lord asked with coldness in his tone.

"No senior. I only wanted to seriously injure them." Alex replied.

"And why is that?" The law enforcement agent asked.

"Well, since he wanted to remove one of my eyes and amputate my legs and hands, I decided to seriously injure them. I want my image to be forever be branded in their minds." Alex replied.

Haha!

The law enforcement agent laughed.

"So, you think you can handle them with just that?" He asked.

"Sure. They are nothing but ants to me. I can wipe them off with a snap of my fingers" Alex replied.

Hmm.

This rang out in the minds of the experts hovering high in the air.

"Where are you from?" The law enforcement agent asked Alex.

"From Howling Wind city" Alex replied.

"What?! That is really far from here. What exactly are you here for to come from such a far city?" The law enforcement agent asked in a curious tone.

"I and my girlfriend are here to tour the city. Actually, we just want to visit some serene, beautiful places in this city where we can try to comprehend stuffs before going to other cities in the state to continue our comprehension and cultivation. We are simply traveling cultivators who love to visit calm and scenic, natural places to gain enlightenment" Alex replied.

"Hmm. Where is your girlfriend? Tell her to come forward, I want to see her to know if you're telling the truth" The law enforcement agent asked.

"You want to see my girlfriend to know if I am telling the truth? What does my girlfriend have to do with if I am telling the truth?" Alex asked.

"How dare you question me?!" The booming voice of the law enforcement agent rang out and caused Alex's blood to churn violently within. However, although his blood churned, Alex couldn't cough out blood or have blood stream down his nose and mouth as his blood had been made denser and thicker to the point that it was as dense as mercury; a liquid metal by the duraforce energy that was infused into it. Then in the next second, due to it thickness and density, his roiling blood calmed.

The law enforcement agent looking at Alex was surprised, same with the others in the air who were astonished at how Alex didn't cough out even a mouthful of blood after the powerful organ-shredding, booming voice rang out.

"Well, provide the girl with you or you wouldn't like what I would do next" The law enforcement agent threatened.

Then feeling that the law enforcement agent might do as he said, Layla ran out from where she was towards Alex and said "Senior, I am his girlfriend"

"Hmm. Is it true that you guys are traveling cultivators?" The law enforcement agent asked.

"Yes senior" Layla replied.

"Hmm. But what is such a beautiful lady like you doing with this riff-raff, this nonentity?" The law enforcement agent asked.

"Well, I am with him because I like and love him. He isn't like the other guys. He is caring, compassionate and he is a great listener. He listens to anything I say or suggests." Layla said while Alex whose eyes shone from what he heard laughed inwardly. He knew that Layla was talking to him, and that she actually meant the opposite of what she was saying, which is; 'He's a terrible listener. He doesn't listen to anything I say or suggests and plunges himself into trouble.'

"Hmm. But I don't see those qualities in him. You shouldn't be with someone like him. You should be with someone like the City Lord's son. He is the most caring guy you would ever find out there. Also, he is wealthy, and as you already know, he comes from a powerful background. So, what do you think?" The law enforcement agent asked.

"Senior, there's nothing anybody can tell me that would make me follow other males. I have long made up my mind to follow this dashing young man before you. Absolutely nothing can break my resolve to be with him for eternity. Now, you spoke about him lacking those qualities that I earlier mentioned. So, what about the City Lord's son? Can he engage my boyfriend in a battle for a couple of seconds? No! He would be knocked unconscious for days with a slight finger strike from my boyfriend. Besides, I don't think any other male cultivator in this city can withstand his astonishing battle prowess, as we saw earlier that he almost finished off the cultivators guarding the City Lord's son. Therefore, he is very strong, making my resolve to be inseparable from him more unyielding. So, what do you think, senior?" Layla said, confidently stating out facts that made Alex quite impressed with her. She wasn't even scared of angering the high-level cultivation experts who could do many things to her if he actually became provoked.

Haha!

The law enforcement agent cackled raucously. But evil intent could be sensed in the way that he laughed.

"I see" He said.

"Well, it's a great pity for someone as beautiful and curvy as you to become a sex thing for the City Lord's son. Since you can't leave your damned, nincompoop boyfriend alone, I would kill him and make you a plaything for the City Lord's son. It was very foolish of you to deny my request and be so bold in front of me" The law enforcement agent stated further.

When Layla heard that, she became horrified.

But then, Alex's fingers crossed with her's. And when she looked at him, she saw him smiling. And the way he smiled made her fear vanish like it was never there. Also, she could feel something cold and shaped like a ring pressed between her palm and that of Alex.

"Don't worry. He can't do a thing to me or you" Alex said with confidence in his tone.

Layla became dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say.

Now looking at Alex, he looked really handsome in her eyes. This was because of the heroic and valorous aura that had began to emanate from his body, making him look more stunning in appearance.

The high-level cultivation experts floating in the air as well as the people on the ground saw these and couldn't help but be greatly astonished by the stunning auras exuding from his body. They couldn't help but have the feeling in their heart that he was an invincible hero; one that was peerless and indomitable.

Alex who was still looking at her said with a smile "Go back into the crowds. When you see a bright flash of colorful light, you should immediately leave this place. Also, instantly use what I gave you. And don't bother looking for me. Just stay put in a place, I would come for you when I am done."
