SWNOVELS Chapter 361: The chase
The Sky Lord-stage cultivators became exceedingly shocked by what Alex did. Same with the non-enemy cultivators and ordinary mortals on the ground who were looking at Alex at the moment with heavy surprises in their eyes.contemporary romance
Then very quickly, the Sky Lord-stage cultivators began to chase after Alex who speedily blazed through the sky at the speed that a peak-phase, Sky Lord-stage cultivator could fly at.
Although there were many peak-stage, Sky Lord-stage cultivators here, they still however couldn't match the speed that Alex moved in the air at. Then this caused great degrees of astonishment and puzzlement to appear in their eyes when they realized in the next moment that since Alex could move at the speed that was equal to that of a peak-phase, Sky Lord-stage cultivator, he was using a Firmament-Rank treasure-wing.
And, since he moved at a speed that even peak-phase, Sky Lord-stage cultivators couldn't match, since they couldn't close the gap between them which only got wider and wider, became tremendously astounded.
'What level of treasure-wings is that bastard using? I refuse to believe that his body can resist the aura of power that the wings would produce as they are operating?' A cultivator questioned within himself with shock in his tone.
The same question that surfaced in his mind also flashed in the minds of other Sky Lord-stage cultivators flying through the air.
They couldn't understand how Alex's body didn't even crack from the aura of power that such kind of treasure-wings would release as they are being operated.
Although this thought surfaced in their minds, they however believed that he could only do this much. With time, he would surely get worn-out by the aura of power continuously discharging from such type of treasure-wings. So they reasoned.
But to their shock and amazement, after many minutes of flying in which they chased after him at furious speeds, they still couldn't catch him. Neither did he appear to be wearing out.

At the moment, close to a hundred people could be seen chasing after Alex as he blazed through the sky at shocking speeds.
They were previously sixty in number before increasing to that near-hundred figure because of the addition of nearly forty people to the number of people chasing after Alex. These new additions were the cultivators from the street that Alex was confronted by those group of Sky Lord-stage cultivators.
So, due to what a cultivator had said about Alex possessing large amounts of sapphirstones, they had also shot into the air to go after him and see if they could have any chance to take his wealth for themselves.
After blazing through the sky at high speeds for about an hour, with the Sky Lord-stage cultivators relentlessly chasing after him from behind, they eventually got to a place where a large lake was.
Then Alex abruptly stopped above the lake and turned around to look at them.
When the Sky Lord-stage cultivators appeared ten feet before him, they looked at him with indecipherable smiles in their faces.
"Tired of running, right?" One directly asked.
He then continued before Alex could speak "I guess that since you couldn't leave a large gap between us, you chose to stop running and surrender your miserable, puny life to us, right?"
Haha!
Alex unexpectedly grinned, causing the cultivators before him to have looks of intense puzzlement to appear in their faces. They couldn't really understand how Alex was still able to laugh at this point in time, when he was supposed to be greatly tensed, since there were nearly a hundred Sky Lord-stage cultivators that had come for him.
"Couldn't leave a large gap between us?" Alex thoughtfully asked himself with a smile appearing in his face as he looked at the perplexed Sky Lord-stage cultivators.
He then continued "If I really wanted to really leave here, do you think you guys can catch up with me? Well, the answer is NO! Actually, I intentionally slowed down so that we could have our fun above this calm, crystal-clear lake that shows the reflection of the blue sky. It would definitely produce some aesthetic feeling in my mind as I start slaughtering you dumbasses."
Immediately after Alex said that, the cultivators' eyes shone with surprise. Then their brows furrowed when a particular thought flashed in each of their minds that Alex was probably in possession of some insane, defensive treasure-weapon that he could abruptly activate to protect himself from them, and which could send out fast killing attacks at them to slay them. Then their thoughts suddenly felt completely right to them since Alex used a treasure-wing that seemed like a peerless-grade treasure-wing to leave a shocking gap between himself and them as they flew to catch him.
Then before they could say anything after taking a slight pause to think, Alex said further "It's just a pity that your damned bloods will color this beautiful, sky-mirroring lake."
"How stupidly confident and arrogant! So, you think some treasure is going to help you slay all of us here? Keep dreaming, you fantastic moron." A cultivator suddenly spat out with exceeding anger in his tone. He was tired and overly annoyed by what Alex, a teenager at the initial-phase, Earth Adept stage, was saying to them old, veteran cultivators of the Sky Lord stage. Although he was not an enemy cultivator like many others who had followed Alex here to butcher him, he was however one of those greedy cultivators that heard of Alex's possession of a great heap of sapphirstones and then followed him right here to kill him and any other that would confront him to take away their total wealths for himself.
Then he said further in the next moment with a cryptic glow in his eyes, directing his statement to the cultivators around him "If you don't plan to do anything to this arrogant boy than exchange incredulous words with him, I will do something to him, while you can all sit back and watch"
He then suddenly shot at a furious speed before others could say anything towards Alex who only gave a wide smile on his face, since he had predicted the intention of the old man right from the start that he gave his speech.
Then with his fist that glowed softly in a golden color, and begun to radiate the power of Might that caused the air around his fist and for many feet to shockingly roil, transforming into visible ripples of air, he abruptly sent out that glowing fist at the peak-phase, Sky-tier energy-attack that the old cultivator had suddenly sent out at him to quickly reduce him into nothing but mist of blood, and quickly shoot away from here with his spatial ring that would appear when Alex's body had burst into a cloud of blood.
Boom!
Alex's fist heavily struck the solid attack and caused a rampaging wave of energy, which actually comprised the Sky-tier energy-attack, to abruptly appear and sweep out into the far distance in all directions with a large amount of rock-sundering destructive force.
The tyrannical energy wave knocked Alex backward by many feet since he was at the heart of the explosion of the large energy-attack, which was caused by collision with his fist with it. However, he surprisingly sustained no injury due to the full-degree invulnerability of his tempered and refined body to Sky-level attacks.
Then when he regained his stability, Alex said with a type of hideous smile that caused currents of intense coldness to surface in the body of the exceedingly surprised, aged cultivator "My turn, foolish old man."
Then large amount of pyroforce energy radiating a tremendously-hot temperature, suddenly erupted from his entire body like it were an utterly massive, island-shaking volcanic eruption that took place, which then abruptly condensed and shaped in the next instant into an extremely compacted, ten-meter wide, intensely gleaming blade of solidified fiery energy that suddenly shot out towards the targeted cultivator at a great speed.
