Chapter 272: Battling a Leonine
Thunder boomed in the distant clouds. Lightning crackled, illuminating the profiles of the eight cultivators after Jack. Six of them gazed at him warily; the elef healer stood at the very back, while the leading leonines body was wrapped in lightning, his fur standing and his muscles ready to explode with power.
The leonine dashed.
The air shivered in his wake. The winds parted. Sonic booms carved the forest underneath as the leonine instantly appeared before Jack, who raised his arms to block. It was fruitless. The force of the impact launched him backward, but the leonine was already there, weaving his fingers together and smashing both hands into Jacks abdomen.
All air left his body. He hurtled downward at extreme speed, crashing into the ground like the meteors he often threw. A crater was formed underneath, and the earth shook for hundreds of feet.
The leonine stood proudly in the air, looking down on Jack. It didnt seem like his lightning-based combat form had a time limit.
Did you think you could just waltz into our territory and start killing people without repercussions? he asked. What naivete. Have you had enough, or should I keep humiliating you?
Jack forced himself to stand. The regenerative properties of Neutron Star Body were already knitting his cracked bones together and repairing his bruised organs. Before long, he was in top form againthough his exhaustion crept upward at a frightening pace.
The enemy cultivators raised their brows at his recovery. Even the leonine seemed confused.
Had enough? Jack replied, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He grinned. The blood around his mouth only made him seem crazed. Even if I die, it still wont be enough.
Very well. Lets test that.
The leonine dived down. Lightning sparked around his body, amplified by the electrical presence of the clouds above. His punch came at Jacks face in an instant.
Jack had already realized he could not match this guy in speed. However, speed had never been his strong suit. Right as he glimpsed at the punch coming for his face, he fired back. All sound was sucked into his fist, and the world lost its luster.
Meteor Punch!
An upward meteor met a thunderbolt. The impact shattered everything in a mile radius. The ground under Jacks feet sank downward, but he remained steady, channeling the entirety of his considerable strength upward.
He crashed through the enemy. The leonine was flung backward, his hand shaking as the meteor exploded on him. Jack acted instantly. He didnt go after the injured leonine, for he knew that this enemy wouldnt go down easily.
Instead, he set his sights on the remaining cultivators.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
With a step through space, he appeared behind the healer. His eyes were red and spitting fire. His fist was bloody and hard. Before the elef could turn around, he smashed a punch into the small of her back, breaking her spine and bending her body at an odd angle. He followed up with a second punch from the side, breaking her neck as well.
Before anyone could respond, he teleported again. This time, he appeared in the very middle of the enemy cultivators and started blasting. Meteors flew. Explosions filled the air. Jack had become a beast, an animal of violence, and his Brutalizing Aura made that painfully clear in the enemies minds.
They defended with all their might. Domains sprang up, momentum turned and twisted, blood flooded the air, and the despair of cornered animals filled them all with power.
Jack was indomitable. He broke through everything, smashing back the combined might of his enemies. One goatee was dragged into an explosion and incinerated. Another had his face caved in. The third raised her halberd to defend, but Jacks fist broke her wrists before penetrating her chest.
Without their healer, with reduced numbers, and caught off guard, these cultivators were nothing but lambs to the slaughter.
Lightning whipped through the air. The meteors explosions were overshadowed by sonic booms, and the leading leonine appeared before Jack, his eyes wild and furious. He snapped out a kick on Jacks side, sending him flying far away from the weaker cultivators.
Support me from a distance! the leonine commanded. Lets teach this human his rightful place!
He darted forward, a streak of lightning crossing the sky. Jack tried to defend; he swiped his fist upward but only met air. A foot met his head from behind, violently rocking his neck, and a punch dug deep into his chest. He shot down like a missile, only to land on the leonines raised knee and get launched back upward.
Jack spat blood. His ribcage was breaking faster than it could be repaired. He forced himself through the pain and into a teleport, narrowly dodging the leonines claw which swiped right where his neck would have been.
When he reappeared three miles away, he was reeling, almost puking. He couldnt straighten his body. Several of his organs were pierced, and he simply lacked the intact musculature to stand up straight.
A curtain of lightning spread out. Supremacy was infused into every spark, every crackle, every air particle. The domain flew at Jack and surrounded him, trying to suffocate him in his weakness.
However, Jack only laughed. How pathetic you are! he exclaimed. A true cultivator does not command their Daohe embodies it!
Instantly, his own domain eruptedand as it did, the supremacy was completely drowned, the lightning was extinguished. The leonines domain could barely resist Jacks, cracking and shattering in a few instants until the entire world bowed to the Fist. The proud leonine spat out blood as his Dao Tree suffered. He was completely engulfed by Jacks domain, and he was also unable to comprehend this.
How!? he roared in desperate disbelief. How can your domain defeat mine? How can you even muster it in this state!?
Jack kept laughing. Each peal of laughter boomed like thunder, echoing across the entirety of his domain. Suddenly, the supremacy in the leonines heart was gone, and all that remained in its place was fear.
I told you, leonine, Jack finally replied, raising a fist. All color and sound disappeared, leaving only his voice. A coward like you could never be a warrior.
No! the leonine screamed. He looked around, scrambling to escape, but everything was darkness. NO!
Stop! another voice boomed out. Its mere sound shook Jacks domain. Raising his gaze, Jack saw a beam of light shoot out of a distant part of the forest and head towards him at breakneck speed. He inspected it.
Turtler, Level 249
Faction: Animal Kingdom (B-Grade)
Stay your hand! the distant figure shouted, still approaching but not actually close enough to stop Jack.
Jack laughed with bitterness. Time and time again, your Kingdom disappoints me, he shouted back. Could you be any more shameless? Do you not have a shred of honor!?
An aura of anger reached him from the rapidly approaching figure. I am a Deacon of the Animal Kingdom! the turtler shouted. And I command you to stay your hand! Do not dare strike!
Command me? Who the hell do you think you are? I will do whatever the fuck I want!
STOP! the deacon shouted.
WAIT! the leonine screamed, still trapped in Jacks domain.
Watch me break this coward! Jack shouted back, smashing out a full-power Meteor Punch. The world went purple and exploded. The shockwave blew his robes and hair back.
The leonine crossed his arms to defend. Both were broken instantly. The power of the meteor carried on and dived into his chest, where it exploded. Strands of golden hair filled the air. Bits and pieces of the leonine flew everywhere. Where he used to stand, there was now only a misshapen mass of flesh and bones.
The approaching deacon saw red. How dare you! he shouted, the mere sound of his voice enough to dissipate the clouds.
Why wouldnt I dare!? Jack shouted back. He tried to kill me, so I killed him back. Where exactly am I wrong, deacon?
When I tell you to do something, you will fucking do it!
The turtler was upon him by now. He shot out a palm strike, seeming to fill the sky. Jack saw death. He smashed out a Meteor Punch.
His domain cracked further and collapsed under the pressure. His Meteor Punch barely managed to delay the palm attack, evaporating the instant it made contact. Jack barely had time to teleport three miles away, further straining his already pushed-to-the-limits body, but the shockwave of the attack was enough to make him spit blood and reopen all of his wounds.
Even if he was in top shape, he could never, ever hope to defeat this person. And he wasnt in top shape. He was close to death.
There were several treasures on his body that he could use to escape. However, he wanted to save them for as long as possible. This deacon was strong, but he was a turtler, which meant he was slow. Jack might be able to outpace him.
Therefore, he borrowed the remaining force of the shockwave and ran.
