Chapter 459 - I Really Mean It, Get Lost Already
(MC POV)
God. Damn. It.
I threw open the gates for the third time today, the visitors obviously from the country of Mei with how they were armed and ready for battle.
"What?!" I nearly roared, rather irritated at this point since they have been obnoxiously hammering at the door for a long while now.
Seriously, it's like there's a line of them outside waiting for their turn to knock on the door or something.
The leader of the group drew his sword from his waist, "Alright chump, you're coming with us if you don't want to get hurt."
I looked down at his weapon, "Are you threatening me with that?"
"What if I am?"
I reached out my hand and summoned my own sword, extending it to its full length and hefting it over my shoulder.
"Mine's bigger," I told him simply. "You still want to go?"
He furrowed his brows, "It's not about the size, it's how you use 'em! Now come quietly or you're gonna regret it!"
"No hard feelings if I kill you, ok?"
"Wha--"
I slammed my sword down on top of him, cutting him cleanly in two.
The impact of the sword was big enough to throw up a dust cloud while sending both halves of his body flying away in different directions.
Right, problem solved.
I stored my sword back in my storage ring and turned my back to leave them. These people should be running away now since their leader is dead.
"Bastard! He killed leader! Get him!"
Or not.
I turned back and there were now even more people behind me, all of them having come out from their hiding places after their leader died.
I raised my eyebrow at them, "You guys sure you want to try me after I literally cleaved your leader in two?"
"Revenge for leader! Burn this third rate Sect to the ground!"
Guess there's no reasoning with this particular group of people.
The man closest to me rushed up to me with a Dadao, swinging the blade towards my neck.
I took a step back from him, letting the sword sail past me before I stepped forward again, hitting the guy with a palm strike to his chest.
His body was flung backwards to crash into the wall, splattering into meat paste.
The second guy did not even turn to look at his companion before rushing up to me, swinging his own Dadao at my head.
I strengthened my arm and raised it, letting the sword smash itself apart on my hardened skin.
Snatching one of the broken pieces of metal from the air, I impaled it into his throat before kicking him away.
Three more came up after him, two of them holding axes while the middle one was holding onto a spear.
The spearman tried a spear thrust to my chest, the spear stopping mid-thrust when my hand caught it at the shaft.
I kicked the pole with the back of my foot, snapping the wooden pole in half.
The spearman fell backwards on his rump from the force, giving me space to heft the sharp end of the spear and toss it at the axeman on my right.
The spear struck home through his left eye, spearing him cleanly through the back of his head and killing him instantly.
His buddy roared out in rage and tried to slash at me with his axe, swinging it from my left side.
It was a simple thing for me to push his wrist aside and redirecting the flow of his arm swing back to his abdomen, embedding the bladed part of his axe in him.
The spearman tried to push himself up on his feet, looking up just in time to see me kick the axe the first guy had dropped towards him.
He didn't even have time to cry out before the axe had lodged itself into his throat, his hands reaching up to grasp it at the handle for a second before he tumbled forward and died.
Two archers at the back shot their arrows at me, both projectiles missing me by mere inches as I weaved through them.
In retaliation, I charged a bolt of Lightning in my hand before unleashing it at one of them, hitting him square in the chest. The bolt then arced over to the other archer, frying him just like it did his friend.
Five armored swordsmen carrying round shields marched towards me in shield wall formation.
I merely raised my eyebrow at them before summoning my sword again.
Pressing both buttons together, I slashed the sword in front of me, cutting all of their heads off in a single swing, their shields absolutely useless against the attack.
Their bodies dropped with a loud thud before rolling down the slope, their heads joining them a second later.
Three men flew up into the air, obviously Practitioners judging by the robes they were wearing.
"Youngster! We are Elders of the Lightning Ascension Sect of the country of Mei! If you know what's good for you, you would bow your head and ask for forgiveness now!" The older looking one demanded.
"Have you ever died before?" I asked, a little rhetorically.
"What?"
"Because it's time for you to do just that," I whispered into his ear, appearing behind him.
I grabbed his throat from behind and ripped it apart, letting him drop back down to earth.
He still had a look of shock when he was plummeting back down, his hands grasping at his missing throat.
"How dare you!" One of the other Practitioners roared, pointing his palm at me.
Before he could materialise his Technique, I snapped my fingers which caused his entire body to explode into a fountain of blood, not even a trace of his flesh was left.
I turned my head slowly to the remaining Practitioner, the man now looking at me fearfully.
"So… You want to join them?"
"I don't want to die!!" He shrieked, immediately turning tail to fly away as fast as he could.
Well, at least there's one smart one amongst them, I'd be worried if all of them were the stubborn types who didn't know how to give up.
The dozen or so men left on the ground also turned tail and ran off after seeing two of their Elder Practitioners dying without being able to do anything.
Hmph, after meeting their envoy and also the idiots they've sent here so far, I figured out the easiest way to get them to back off was through force. There was no use talking to these meatheads especially.
I actually think it's a miracle they actually managed to find their way here in the first place. Maybe one of the other two countries struck a deal with them to guide them here or something.
Oh well, none of my business anyway.
That should be the last group so hopefully I would be able to return to my disciples and enjoy the rest of the day in peace.
Oh right… I still need to clean this place up and dispose of the bodies before my cute disciples see this. Wouldn't want them to be traumatised by all this violence.
