Chapter 698 The Reason



"Nonsense, that's nothing," Lothur muttered as he looked at that fist and finally decided to act.

To him, these people were moving like children trying to challenge an adult. But as the 'adult' there, wasn't Lothur obligated to teach them a lesson?

So, Lothur would educate them!

He picked up the six-inch bone in his hands and used it as a weapon, placing it in the front of his body against that fist.

A second later...

"Aaaaaaagh!"

The level 17 man felt as if a needle had been shoved between his fingers and screamed in agony.

Then, as the people in this group began to look strangely at Lothur, not understanding how he could be so skilled, he lifted one of his legs and brought it down under the ground.

Everyone looked at him as he stomped hard on the ground. Yet, an instant later, their expressions turned ugly as they realized the problem.

When Lothur's foot touched the ground, cracks immediately sounded in the surrounding area as pieces of soil began disconnecting from the ground.

Suddenly, several places where these people were on the ground began to fly due to the immense force that had hit them!

"What the fuck?!"

"What? How can that be?"

One of the two people flying in the vicinity saw almost everyone in their group getting off balance and losing control over their abilities for a moment as they were thrown high into the air.nov?dot?/o/?

'That... He destroyed the entire terrain with a single stomp?' The woman trying to block the space in Lothur's surroundings momentarily lost control of her ability and looked at him with fear.

"Not so fast," Lothur said, activating gravity and pressing everyone against the ground, making those flying in the surroundings feel like someone had suddenly 'clipped' their wings.

They felt their bodies getting heavier and could do nothing as they fell faster and faster.

"Damn it!"

"Aaaaaagh!"

Again, cries of pain came from the surroundings, but this time from more than one mouth, as each of those 5 people felt their bodies being pressed against the ground.

The level 18 woman felt the power level of this opponent, and her eyes fluttered, as she had never seen someone able to move so fast, have so much strength, and yet such a powerful skill being only at the 3rd stage.

"You... Are you a... A body cultivator?" She exclaimed in difficulty, feeling that only that could explain such strangeness.

Lothur didn't answer. He just made black flames appear in one of his hands, causing each person to feel goosebumps running through their bodies.

"No!" The level 18 man desperately shouted as he saw Lothur approaching the woman of the same level as him. "Senior, we didn't mean to hurt you. We were just testing you!"

"Testing me?" Lothur stopped and looked at that man. "At your level? Are you mad or just seeking death?"

"Neither!" The level 17 woman with skills over space shouted as she tried to look at Lothur while on bent knees.

"Senior, we are only in search of an ally. We attack you to test your strength!" Another person shouted, causing Lothur to look at him strangely.

"Nonsense! Thieves act the way you attacked me. What kind of fool looks for an ally by attacking him with deadly attacks?" Lothur made an ugly expression, feeling that these people insulted his intelligence.I think you should take a look at

"But it was a test, senior!" The strongest of the group cried, in a nervous tone, for given the situation, Lothur could kill his entire group in a matter of seconds.

Lothur closed his eyes briefly and looked at that man, "For accept my Black Flames into your heart. If you speak the truth, I will not kill you today. Otherwise, you will all perish here."

The people in that group finally became silent while that level 18 man clenched one of his fists, afraid of what Lothur would do to him.

But with no choice, he accepted. "Fine. As long as it's just me, I'll accept your Black Flames."

Lothur continued standing where he was as that man's body flew towards him due to Gravity.

Having this person under his grip, Lothur looked into the green eyes of this man and saw them quickly turn black as night.

"What is your purpose in attacking me?" He asked as he looked at the people in the surroundings with a smile.

"Answering to the master. We would invite you to join our group if you were strong enough to survive. We are about to travel north, where a newly advanced Origin Saint is causing chaos.

We have news that The Grey Eagles will be attacked by this newly advanced man, the leader of The Bears."

The Bears and The Grey Eagles were two mid-sized sects in Cesha. Both powers had level 18 leaders and 3rd-stage specialists.

Since both groups were near each other, in an area with no high-level powers in the empire, a confrontation over disputes of land, business, and people was natural after one of them advanced to the 4th stage.

This group had heard about this confrontation days ago from an informant, and they knew that if they moved fast enough, they could either join the confrontation of the two sects or participate in the loot.

In either case they could win. Hence, they were moving towards such a confrontation.

But finding this strong cultivator on their path, they had decided to take a chance to test him and, who knows, maybe strengthen the group with another powerful Transcendent.

"We wanted one more ally before continuing our journey north. That could be you, master." That man said in a subservient tone.

The others heard this and looked wide-eyed at their leader, seeing how easily Lothur had controlled him.

"Oh? What if I wasn't strong enough?" Lothur realized that there was a second alternative.

"If the master weren't strong enough, you would certainly die facing us. We would steal your things and continue our journey after that."

Gulp!

"Oh?" Lothur smiled as he looked around, significantly frightening these people.

"It looks like you guys actually wanted to kill me, huh? What do I do with you now?"

The level 18 woman felt cold through her body and begged. "Please don't kill us! We'll do anything you want!"

"Yes! Yes!" The man with a piece of bone stuck in one of his hands exclaimed. "Senior, we can direct you to where these sects will face each other. We are one of the few who know about the confrontation about to take place in the north!"

"And why would I be interested in that?" Lothur questioned.

"Because both leaders of those sects have Soul Bones! When one of them dies, and the other is weakened, we can kill the winner of the conflict and have 2 bones in our hands!"
