Chapter 127 - Go All Out

"I can see that you still haven't changed even after spending three months inside the ruin" said the ground elder with a twitched face.

"What can I say, it takes more than three months for someone to change so you shouldn't have your hope up grand elder" reply Jason with a smile.

"I see the reason why Sam easily gave in to the power of the entire" said the grand elder with a sigh.

"And what is that grand elder because I am also curious to know what truly made him give in" asked Jason as he waited attentively for the grand elder to speak up.

"The reason why he gave in was that he couldn't stand you" replied the grand elder with a frown.

"Uh, I think you get it wrong grand elder. I have been conducting myself ever since we got to the ruin. In Fact, I was the one that was been wrong since I don't belong to any of the family" said Jason while acting like he was the one that was been wrong.

"Nonsense, I don't need to be there before I can guess who caused the whole thing. Let's leave that matter for now and talk about your punishment or did you think I have forgotten" asked the grand elder with a cunning smile on his face.

"Come on grand elder, I just came out of the land of the dead and you are already talking about punishment. Do you know you should be compensating me for tricking me into going to the ruin" said Jason with a frightened look on his face.

"You little brat, if you say one more word about the ruin, I swear by the heavens that I am going to skin you alive" replied the grand elder with a twitched face.

"Now you are swearing to the heavens when you should be thinking of a way to keep my mouth shut" said Jason fearfully.

'This kid, why is it always difficult to have a normal conversation with you' thought the grand elder.

Letting out a sigh of relief, the grand elder turned to the two as he said.

"You guys have really improved a lot inside the ruin with Jason benefiting the most, no wonder you were able to defeat Sam even when he borrowed strength from an external force".

"That is where you are wrong grand elder, Sam was never a match for me from the very beginning and I was still in the second stage when we fought" replied Jason proudly.

"Oh is that so" asked the grand elder with a shocked look on his face as he began to play with his beads.

"Yeah, and if you think that I am lying to you, you can ask Austin here" reply Jason with a smile.

"Since you can beat Sam even when he gets help, then you shouldn't have a problem holding your ground against me if I were to suppress my realm to your level" said the grand elder with a smile on his face.

"Well, I wouldn't say that I will be able to hold my ground against an old monster like you" said Jason with a hand on his chin. 

Jason was just about to continue to give excuses so as to avoid getting into a fight with the grand elder but before he could even start, he began to feel the grand elder aura getting weak and the next moment he was already in the third stage of the foundation realm.

"But I just said that I can't fight an old monster like you so why are you still suppressing your realm to my level" asked Jason who seemed to be in tears.

"Haha, I thought you said that I am an old monster. And I am not mistaken, the young ones are said to be more vibrant and more vigorous than the old ones that find it hard to move their old legs" replied the grand elder with a laugh.

"That should be a fact for mortals and not a cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years" said Jason as he took a step back.

"Haha, I can see that you are trying to avoid getting into a fight with me so let's make it fairer for you since you are still not experienced" replied the grand elder before turning to Austin who was just watching the show and said. 

"How about Austin join you and you can both use your technique".

"Uh, but grand elder I thought you were against the rules of fighting near the alchemy room" asked Austin in shock when he heard the grand elder saying that they could go all out.

"When I tell you to go all out, I mean you should because I won't be holding back myself" replied the grand elder with a smile before making some hand sign with spiritual energy gathering around his hand before releasing it in the surroundings as a forcefield was formed...

Seeing the blue light going around the place before forming a big circle before them, Jason went close to give it a touch to see what it was, only for him to discover that it was as solid as touching a wall. Noticing the way Jason was looking at the forcefield and he couldn't help but chuckle as he began to explain.

"What you are seeing right now is called a forcefield. With this, you shouldn't have a problem going all out".

"You mean this thing here won't bulge if we were to attack it" ask Austin with a surprised look on his face.

"So you don't need to worry about the alchemy room getting destroyed" replied the grand elder.

"I still don't want to get into a fight with an old man like you, you may not believe this but I don't think that you will be able to handle what I am capable of doing" said Jason.

"Oh really, then why don't you show me what you are made of" replied the grand elder with a smile.

"You are the one that asked for it so don't blame me if you start missing some bones" said Jason as he got into a fighting stance.

"Enough talk and come at me together" replied the grand elder with his hand placed on his behind.

"Austin are you ready" asked Jason with an evil grin on his face.

"More than you are" replied Austin as he took out his sword.

"Alright then, let's show him what we are capable of" said Jason as he pushed forward with the halberd thrust forward at the grand elder.

Seeing that Jason is already going for the hit, Austin quickly went forward as well as he slash his sword at the grand elder only for their weapons to stop moving midway.

"I said you should come at me with everything you got and not to play child's games with me" said the grand elder with a frown as he pushed his hand forward causing them to fall back.

"You ask for it" replied Jason as he quickly activated the lightning boot.

Seeing Jason's legs were covered in lightning, the grand was first amazed before clearing his throat as he said with a smile. 

"Now this is what I am talking about".

Going forward once more but this time he was faster than he used to be as he tries to land a kick on the grand elder only for him to miss the target while Austin whose sword was covered in green light was also trying to get a hit on the grand elder even though his sword art is fast but he always ends up getting hit by the invincible force the grand elder used against them when they first fought with him.

"I can't believe he still uses this dirty and shameless attack of his" complained Jason as he was hit by the invincible force. 

"Haha, looks like someone is finding it difficult to break these old bones of mine" joked the grand elder as he stroked his beads.

Seeing the grand elder was mocking him, Jason threw the halberd at him out of anger and the grand elder easily hit it away but that was all that Jason needs as he was now standing behind the grand elder with his fist raised before punching at him from behind only for him to punch at an invincible force and was sent flying by the impact.

"Oh come on, how can you be so thick skin to use such a method why fighting" complained Jason.

"Haha, it is called being on guard at all times," replied the grand elder with a laugh.

While the grand elder was speaking, the energy around them began to change as thousands of sword energies began to materialize and when he saw these, he couldn't help but let out a smile as he muttered to himself.

"The thousand swords cry technique, who would have thought that he will be able to comprehend it to such a level".
