A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 46: We make for a good team

Before Alex could make his attacks disperse. Several thin rays of energy came over from a height in the distance and shattered the fists into bits which then dissipated.

Boom.....!!

Alex's body and soul shook when his attacks were shattered by offensives sent at them. That was the power of a terrific expert.

Fear rose in his heart.

Want he wanted to avoid was now coming his way.

So this is the bad feeling I have been having. A more fearsome expert is flying towards me.

With eyes that glowed brightly in cyan like they were the sun. A thin sphere of air abruptly formed around him and the air around him turned into powerful wind gales that carried him off into distance, propelling him at great velocity.

Once he got to Jake's side, he put his arms out and grabbed Jake by the waist pulling him into the sphere. Then they were rocketed into the distance by the gales at an amazing speed.

Hmm!

With wonder in this person's eyes, the expert who just got to Alex's initial position rushed after him.

"The hell! What's wrong? Why are you holding me like this and where are you taking to me to?" Jake yelled at Alex in surprise. "There is not safe anymore. We need to get out of there and find a place to hide. An expert is coming for us" Alex said.

"What?" Jake's mind shook then he shut up. But he was amazed at the speed Alex was moving.

So fast! What grade of wind element methodology did this boy study actually?

Alex was moving extremely fast, at a speed that even amazed the expert that was coming for him. This was because Alex had deployed the wind elixir technique.

By turning his entire body into an energyhouse, he was able to achieve rapid and endless recharge of energy through the superpowering wind elixir method.

This energy got mixed up with divineforce energy in his body and when they erupted from his body, it produced tremendous, long bursts of speed. It was like he was a rocket.

But this expert gave a smile that didn't give out the intentions of this person.

This expert left Alex to keep running.

Let me see how how long you can last.

.....

Thirty minutes later.

Alex was still running. And this greatly surprised the person that was chasing him. The expert's mind reeled in shock. It was like Alex's energy was fathomless. His energy wasn't fluctuating which would indicate that it would soon deplete, instead it was going stronger.

"Kid, stop running. I have something to discuss with you." The expert said. 

But Alex didn't stop. He continued to run.

He tried his best to achieve a speed so he could escape from the expert that was on his tail. 

The eyes of the expert narrowed. 

'What a disobedient boy' The person uttered within. 

"Kid, please stop running!" The expert's voice boomed out. 

Alex ignored the person and continued to run. 

The eyes of the experts coldened. 

'That's it'

Boom!

This person produced a sonic boom in the air by cutting through the sky at a speed faster than the speed of sound and appearing far in front of Alex.

Putting out a hand, an unseen force emanated from the palm of this person and wrapped around Alex, bringing him to a forced abrupt stop.

Alex couldn't move, he was bound up in a force that wrapped heavily around him preventing him from moving. It was like he was wrapped up a hundred times with an invisible shackle.

But Jake didn't feel the greatly overwhelming restrictive force that came upon Alex. He was spared.

Argh!

Alex groaned in pain.

It was like his body wanted to explode. The force was exerting so great a pressure that could cause his body to blast into bits of flesh and mists of blood.

His eyes were red from pain and terror.

A second later, the pain vanished as the force vanished. The expert had removed the force that acted on Alex's body.

"Hmm. You have an impressively strong body. Anyways, I made you go through that for making an expert at the saint emperor stage chase after you. That shows you have no home training. You weren't trained to respect your elders. A kid not properly trained at home would be trained outside" this expert said with a strict and proud tone.

Alex still remained on the ground totally drenched in sweat. The terror he felt earlier had caused his head to be buzzing.

But it seemed this expert was on the good side since the person didn't compel him to do something he wouldn't want to do like handover your cultivation manual or something augmenting your attack beyond normal.

While Alex remained on the ground. Jake was shocked by who was in front of them.

It was a white-skinned lady that looked twenty. She was ridiculously beautiful. All his life he had never seen anyone like this.

She was dressed in a uniform that had the embroidery of a black dragon at the left side.

"Hey. Get up. I don't have all day" she said.

Seeing no response from the weakened Alex, a force emitted from her and lifted Alex to his feet.

When Alex looked up to see who this expert was, he saw a lady that caused his mind to reel on astonishment.

Three words surfaced in his mind.

Queen of fairies. 

"Why were you running?" she asked with furrowed brows.

"Uhm. I... I... Uhm, I thought you were one of those bad people that would want what I have and do anything to get it like torture then kill me when I produce it." Alex replied in a respectful tone.

She smiled. "No. I am not evil to that extent. Anyways, I was impressed by you and your friend back there. You guys were awesome. When I saw you, what came to my mind was fat meal." she said now looking at Alex. Then she laughed. She continued "What I meant by fat meal was gold. You are gold kid. You would bring riches to whoever has you."

"Huh?!" both Alex and Jake exclaimed. They didn't understand what she was saying.

Jake braved up and asked "Senior, what do you mean by whoever has us would have riches? We are just boys out of our family house for training. We want to know the world. I hope it's not what I am thinking?"

The female expert brows wrinkled. Then she asked coldly "what's it you are thinking?" Jake suddenly had fear set in his heart.

He didn't want to say something that would upset this powerful woman. "I mean... like... take us to go do illegal underground battles to make money" he replied.

The female in front of them shook her head. "Nah. I am not such a person. I would like for you guys to join the Black Dragon academy. What do you say?"

Alex's mind shook while Jake's eyes glittered.

"Senior, I am sorry. I won't be able to join your academy. My.. my dad forbade it." he said.

Jake looked at Alex in surprise while the female expert smiled. "What's the reason?" she asked.

"He didn't give me a reason. He only said I shouldn't join any academy. I don't know why too." Alex replied.

She looked at Alex for sometime before she looked at Jake. "Would you like to join?" she asked.

"Would I be able to leave anytime?" he asked back. The female expert smiled and said "Sure. You can leave anytime you want." she replied.

"Okay senior. I would join. I would like to experience life in an academy."

She nodded then looked at Alex. "What about you? You can leave anytime too. No one would stop you. I just need you guys to do something for me. I will be in charge of your feeding, school fees and every other thing pending the time you would leave." she said trying to entice him.

Jake came to Alex's side. "Hey! Come on. Let's go. Together, we are powerful. We can take down anyone. We make for a good team. Whatever she wants us to help her accomplish, I believe we can" he said trying to influence Alex into joining.

But Alex wouldn't be able to join. He himself knew the reason why. He was too powerful and overpowering for anyone in his cultivation rank.

Only someone at the late-phase condensation stage would be able to contend with him and this would attract both desirable and undesirable attentions to himself.

This wasn't something he wanted. He didn't want to leave in fear every time and being chased about by nefarious experts from everywhere because once word got out about him, his life would become a living hell.

Experts in higher cultivation ranks would come for him under the believe that a powerful treasure has merged with his body and give out threats to surrender it and possibly try to kill him out of fear for revenge.

Seeing that Alex was about to reject. She came to his side with a smile. She wouldn't loose a diamond she just got. She would take him away forcefully and try to change his mind. Her fate depended on this boy before her.
