Chapter 284 - Climbing The Cliff
The seven people attacked together, carrying an overwhelming aura that crushed down on Liu Wuxie. They even raised a cloud of dust that covered half the sky.
Liu Wuxie was in the center of the storm and was on the verge of collapsing, as though he would be killed the next moment.
With so many experts present, Liu Wuxie didn’t want to reveal too much of his strength. Striding the Seven Dipper Steps, Liu Wuxie vanished mysteriously.
With his current strength, he could kill all of them with one strike, but he chose not to do so. The Heretic Blade slashed at the neck of a Quasi-True Core Realm cultivator, beheading him.
Everything happened too quickly, and no one noticed how Liu Wuxie appeared behind that Quasi-True Core Realm cultivator.
“Everyone, unite and restrain his movement technique!” Gong Xing roared. The remaining six people began to converge, not giving Liu Wuxie the chance to launch a sneak attack.
In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Wuxie had only managed to kill one person, relying on his movement technique. As long as they could restrain his movement, it would be easy for them to capture him.
The encirclement began to shrink, restricting movement space for Liu Wuxie.
However, Liu Wuxie merely wore a mocking smirk and increased his speed, appearing behind two Quasi-True Core Realm cultivators and killing them.
As blood splashed, Liu Wuxie had killed three cultivators in the Quasi-True Core Realm in two breaths.
“Brat, you can die now!” Gong Xing roared. It was disgraceful to the Fire Rock Dynasty that Liu Wuxie could kill their cultivators so calmly in the encirclement. The four attacks were like a violent storm intertwining, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
Liu Wuxie was like a slippery loach facing the incoming attacks. Despite the attacks, he could always find a gap and slip away, naturally making Gong Xing and his companions furious.
“Brat, fight us head-on if you have the guts! Is running all you know?” The other three cultivators roared, and their speed was far inferior to Liu Wuxie's.
“Talk if you all can catch me!” Liu Wuxie provoked, and his words drew a burst of laughter from the crowd.
The four gradually became exhausted trying to catch up to Liu Wuxie, but they couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes. His speed was practically unparalleled at the same cultivation level.
Drawing the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie drew an arc and appeared behind a True Core Realm cultivator as he cleaved down the Blade.
An arm was severed with blood splashing out. With one lesser person to restrain Liu Wuxie, his speed increased, and Gong Xing was already struggling to keep up with him. This caused flaws in their formation, let alone killing Liu Wuxie.
Another two people’s arms were severed, and Gong Xing was the only one left, barely holding on.
“How is this possible?! We’re all in the True Core Realm, and how can you be so powerful?!” Gong Xing was afraid and retreated as he fought. The other three were rolling on the ground, wailing in pain, and the energies in their bodies were swiftly being extracted.
They would only die even if Liu Wuxie didn’t kill them. After all, Liu Wuxie’s true essence contained a hint of poison attribute, and the poison would slowly corrode their heart pulse till their death.
“You all are a bunch of frogs in a well!” Liu Wuxie didn’t want to waste any more time with Gong Xing and swung his blade at his back. His blade’s trajectory was tricky, but it had no flaws.
When the Heretic Blade swung down, Gong Xing screamed and ran, abandoning his companions.
A conflict already broke out even before the dragon bone was seen. To Liu Wuxie’s left, there was already a fight, with several people losing control and falling to the ground, squashed to minced meat from the impact.
Liu Wuxie suddenly shifted to the side to avoid the incoming foot. The foot stomping towards Liu Wuxie had seemingly guessed his next move and continued to stomp at him, wanting to force him to jump down.
If Liu Wuxie lost his footing, his only outcome would be death.
This made Liu Wuxie furious because he hadn't provoked this person. He had tried to avoid any potential conflicts, but he didn't expect to still encounter someone trying to start a fight with him.
“You’re courting death!” Liu Wuxie pulled out his daggers and left the cliff, soaring into the sky. His sudden departure drew attention because the higher one went, the stronger the wind became. Only those in the Heavenly Dipper Realm could withstand such wind, making it too dangerous for Liu Wuxie to leave the cliff abruptly.
This was too dangerous because the wind could carry him away. Even the man who stomped his foot at Liu Wuxie didn’t expect the latter to react in this manner. Taking advantage of Liu Wuxie, who had not yet reached him, he swung his sword down to strike him.
If he could prevent Liu Wuxie from approaching, Liu Wuxie would lose his footing and fall to his death.
“What pathetic tricks!” Liu Wuxie’s murderous intent grew, and a dagger shot towards the left underarm of the assailant, forcing him to evade to the side.
In one fluid movement, Liu Wuxie began to fall from the wind blowing on his right side. In the nick of time, he performed a flip. Like a celestial crane, he stomped his foot at the man who attacked him.
Everything was completed in the blink of an eye, with Liu Wuxie calculating each movement meticulously.
The man who attacked Liu Wuxie had a look of shock on his face, but his body was firmly pressed against the wall, and he didn't have any spare hands to make a move.
Losing his advantage from a higher spot, Liu Wuxie’s feet were like a crane’s beak with murderous intent spreading out. Liu Wuxie might not be a bloodthirsty person, but he wouldn’t spare anyone who tried to kill him, regardless of their identity.
“How dare you?! I’m a representative of the Black Chu Empire!” The man was afraid and disclosed his identity, which was surprising because he was from the Black Chu Empire.
“Hmph, I don’t care who you are. No one can save you!”
Facing Liu Wuxie’s attack, the man only had two options: to take Liu Wuxie’s attack head-on or descend. If he chose the second option, only death would await him. But he would also die even if he took the first option.
No one expected Liu Wuxie’s attack to be so ferocious.
“Damn it!” The man was furious and suddenly left the cliff, unleashing an attack towards Liu Wuxie with his palm. They were both experts, and their clash was swift.
“Trash!” Liu Wuxie said, his legs like scissors, sealing off the man’s path of retreat. When he descended, his right hand grabbed onto the sole dagger left on the cliff, and his body swayed.
“Brat, you dare kill Junior Brother He? I want you dead!” A roar came from above, from someone in the second level of the True Core Realm. He was also a representative of the Black Chu Empire.
Ignoring the threat, Liu Wuxie stomped his foot down, causing the man who attacked him to scream and throw up a mouthful of blood.
When the man let go of the cliff, he lost control and fell before smashing into minced meat. The entire fight only lasted two breaths.
After the fight, Liu Wuxie stepped with his right foot on the dagger that was deep in the cliff and stood on it.
