A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 74: Chase

The instructors from his academy asked. "Alex, what's wrong? What were you running from?" An instructor called Kennedy asked.

"I was being chased by a sinister expert." Alex replied.

"What sinister expert? There's no sinister expert here because we scan the whole place every time with our saint-senses." An instructor from the academy asked.

Alex shook. Didn't they see that man?

"There was. The person killed a female water dragon beast." Alex said.

As soon as Alex said that, the eyes of the instructors shone.

"You saw the beast?" One of the instructors asked.

"Yes I did." Alex replied.

"Were you able to get the egg?" Another asked.

"No. I wasn't able to. How would I be able to do that between a divine beast and a powerful cultivator?" Alex replied.

"Then why were you being chased by the expert?" one of the instructors asked in a disbelieving tone.

Alex didn't know what answer he was going to give. But he quickly thought up a lie.

"It's because I was there when they fought. The expert might want to come after me because I was there. Such sinister expert need no reason to kill. That was why I ran away." Alex replied.

They looked at him for sometime before one of them asked "You were so fast it took a bit of energy to catch you. How were you able to do that?"

Alex became tongue-tied here.

He couldn't say it was because he channeled a form of cultivation energy that increases strength to vast degree to my leg that I was able to achieve such astonishing speed.

"Give an answer!" One of the instructors roared.

Seeing Alex wasn't able to say anything, the instructors from the school he enrolled at spoke to the other instructors.

"Fellow instructors. This boy is a student of my school. So, we would it take it from here." One of the instructors said.

"What do you mean by that? What he did was all witnessed by us. He has to tell us how he was able to do that" An instructor from another academy roared.

Alex was worried. He needed to get away from here. That expert could be looking at him from wherever he was.

Kennedy and the other Instructor from Alex's academy looked at the other instructors with fury in their eyes.

"What now? You want to battle all of us?" An instructor asked.

Kennedy and the other instructor then looked at Alex. "Run!" they shouted. Then they produced treasure-weapons and dashed towards the other instructors.

When Alex heard run, he was surprised but it didn't take more than that second to recover from his surprised state.

Then he dashed forward at great speed with his muscles glowing in a soft golden light and emitting pulses of power of godly strength and might.

Like an arrow, his body whistled in the air as he shot into the distance on a straight line on ground.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Alex could hear the sounds of terrifying explosions. He knew that the instructors from his academy were trying their best to hold back the instructors so he could have the chance to escape.

He felt the speed he was moving at wasn't great enough, he needed to quickly leave this area.

Then he focused on his emotions of hatred and anger. He recalled all the feelings he felt when he was told his parent sacrificed themselves in a battle against the sae-uhlian race, the feeling of hatred and anger when Jake was poisoned, the feeling of melancholy when the water dragon gave him her child to protect because she wouldn't be able to survive the injuries inflicted upon her and the way he felt when the instructors from his academy tried to give him time to escape from the other instructors regardless of injuries that might be sustained.

Then he made up his mind that their sacrifice wouldn't go for nothing. With his pent-up emotions, he roared "Speed Physique"

His legs which were contacting the ground two hundred times in a minute suddenly increased to a million times in a second.

Then he began to move so fast he left blurs behind.

When he transformed, an information surfaced in his mind. "Unparalleled Speed God Physique"

Because of the extremely fast rate at which his legs were touching the ground, he was able to cover large distances in seconds.

He was moving at the speed a saint-stage cultivator could fly at in the air

By now, he had appeared in a new area. He was heading towards a mountain range. He chose there to hide from the expert and the instructors.

His only hope was that there should be a cave in there that he could hide in and that was not yet inhabited by beasts.

Luck was on his side. When he got there, he saw a cave in one of the mountains he chose to hide himself. The cave was at the foot of the mountain and was properly hidden from view.

Then he ran into it. The instant he entered the cave. He suddenly fell unconscious with his body landing heavily to the ground.

...

Jennifer at the moment was blazing through the air at a shocking speed. Her plan was to head to a city to enter a space transference array.

A space transference array was an array that could allow one to move through the fabric of space and appear in one region from another. It was extremely fast. One could go to another world such as Greatverse, Oververse, Underverse or Planeverse in seconds.

But it was exceedingly costly to use and whoever wanted to use the array must be attached to a firm or an organization.

Rogue cultivators aren't allowed. Although there might be exceptions, but they would pay double the price and if they are to be extorted, three to four times more.

The other experts too were hot on her trail. And were shooting attacks at her which she dodged.

She didn't want to exchange attacks with them as she felt doing that would waste her time. Besides, Alex could be in danger, she didn't know what Micah would do to him.

She was really vexed at the moment. She vowed in her mind that when she gets back to the academy, she would raise hell.

Why Jennifer took the mission was simply because experts are proud. Although, Alex's parent were extremely wealthy and he had all their accumulations. She couldn't ask him to give her some treasures and some amount of money and pills.

She just couldn't do that as it would be too lowly of her. She would be no different from a beggar if she did that. So she believed.

Despite moving at many times the speed of sound, she still hadn't reached a city.

"Am I moving in the wrong direction?"

"Why haven't I gotten to a city yet?"

She asked these questions in her mind. She was bewildered and worried. Also, she was wasting away a good deal of her energy. She needed to get to the city on time or her energy would rapidly deplete at the speed she was moving.

Then something came to her mind which made her come to an abrupt stop.

Then she turned around to look at the other cultivators that were shooting over at high speed.

A second later, they appeared before her.

"Tired of running?" one of them asked.

"Tell me this is an illusion. That I have just been flying since for nothing." she said.

Haha!

They laughed.

"So you finally figured that out. We were playing with you and we played with you to our satisfaction. You have been deceived all this while by gigantic illusion arrays we buried weeks back and activated upon your arrival in here. You have been here the whole time. Haha!" one of them said and laughed.

Jennifer eyes glowed in a light that could give one chills.

Then she looked around trying to detect a weakness in the illusion put out by the arrays. But she couldn't detect any.

She looked at them and then remembered what she told Alex, 'Let them come'. Then her eyes began to glow with a towering intent for battle.

"Since it's a battle to the death you guys want" she said out loud. Then she continued "Come and have it"

She summoned the armor which appeared and covered her body her body, the shield and sword which she grabbed in her hands and then a pill which she swallowed.

This turned into large amount of energy that instantly restored all the energy she had wasted in flying.

Then she flew towards them to engage them in close combat. She did this to quickly end the fight.

Haha!

Just then, a laugher was suddenly heard from far in the sky.

Swoosh!

Then a man appeared many kilometers before Jennifer. His figure couldn't be made out as it was concealed in a form of energy that was black in colour.

He looked at Jennifer within this cloaking energy and gave a sinister smile.

"Jennifer. You should have listened to his warning. Since you couldn't, just prepare to die."
