Chapter 36: The Beginning Of A War(Part2)

"No, Yang Zhai, it's not like we want to have a war with you, but we are here to kill you," Hue Chi spoke.

"So, who's going to attack me first then?" Yang Zhai said.

When he said this, nobody was ready to attack him first. Even Hue Chi didn't attack him, even though he had said that they were here to kill Yang Zhai.

"Yang Zhai, tell us, do you not even feel or regret your ways even a little bit?" Hue Chi's grandfather asked.

"Why should I?"

"So, you really don't regret, pity? If a great and powerful figure like you were on the righteous path, how beneficial would that be to the world."

"I, Yang Zhai, do not even regret a little bit. If I get another chance as well, I will still walk the same path I am walking right now." Yang Zhai was still satisfied with his ways. He didn't even regret a little about the ways he had chosen, even though his ways had turned him against the world and made him stand where he was right now.

"And tell me, what is the righteous path? Is ganging up on a single man considered righteous? You call yourself righteous, but you still can't deal with me alone. And when did I say that I walk the demonic path or righteous path? I walk no path. I have my own path and way. I do what I consider to be beneficial. And you guys do what you consider to be beneficial. So, tell me, is there any difference between you and me? If I had ganged up on someone I would be called demonic, but if you gang up on someone, then you are righteous?" Yang Zhai said casually.

"Shut up, you demon. What kind of twisted logic is this? Do you expect us to come alone at you? Do you think that we are idiots? Don't think that you can fool us with your talk. Nobody here is gonna fall for your tricks. You are definitely going to die today." A woman with long blue hair spoke. Her voice was shrill. Her expression was twisted out of shape. It seemed that she had a history with Yang Zhai.

"No, he is right. What is the difference between him and me? I became a cultivator because my father was ganged up on by a group and was beaten to death. I wanted to take my father's revenge. My mother had also told me to not gang up on anyone. But now, even I am ganging up on someone. So, what if he is Yang Zhai? We should all fight him alone. Yeah, that's right, we should all fight him alone. I Bang Li will fight him alone." A person spoke from between the crowd. His body was slim, and his nose was sharp. His eyes were brown in color. 

Everyone turned to look at the idiot who spoke. Was he trying to get them killed? Was he really on their side or Yang Zhai's?

"Ahhaaaa…" 

They looked on like idiots at Bang Li, as he charged out of the crowd with a scream. He passed everyone and excited the crowd. The crowd's heads also turned with the passing Bang Li to look at him flying towards Yang Zhai.

They all had the same thought: This idiot is done for.

"Do you know this Bang Li?" someone from the crowd asked.

"No, I don't know this idiot."

"Forget about that. I didn't even see him among us a while ago, where did he appear from?"

"I am not worried about that. I want to know just how did this idiot even become immortal? Is he really that lucky that he became an immortal with his personality?"

"No, I don't think he is lucky. If he was, he wouldn't be here. Nonetheless, he is even more unlucky to go against Yang Zhai alone."

Everyone was talking about Bang Li, while he had already gotten close to Yang Zhai. He had his face punched by Yang Zhai. He fell heavily to the ground like a meteor after being punched by Yang Zhai. Dust rose after the impact. When the dust dissipated, they saw that Bang Li's head was missing. He had died just like that. His wish of fighting alone had been fulfilled.

"He deserved this."

"Yeah, this idiot totally deserved it."

"Yeah"

"You're right, I completely agree with you. Right, who told him to fight alone?"

Everyone began to talk again. But they were disturbed by Yang Zhai's voice.

"I asked you guys about who is going to attack first, but…"

"Then let me attack first if nobody is going to attack me." Yang Zhai knew that there was no way for him to run. Even if he was strong, he wasn't confident in running. There was only one way, and that was to make a way in the middle of the battle to run. Thus, he took the initiative.

He disappeared from his place and appeared in front of the man— dozens of miles away— who was the closest to him. He moved his left hand and stabbed into the chest of the man. Furthermore, he grabbed the heart and pulled it out. This all happened within an instant. The defense of the man was insufficient in front of Yang Zhai. Everyone became alert and started to form formations. Even though Yang Zhai's speed was fast, it was still somewhat perceivable by most of the cultivators. After all, the people who came to kill him were also strong.

Many people started to release their attacks at him from a distance. There were all kinds of lights and attacks in the air.

Yang Zhai activated his defense and started to dodge the attacks with his flexibility and speed. He pointed his sword at the sky and said, 

"Have you guys ever seen true lightning, and especially that can be activated by me? I am sure you folks did see, but not the one that I am going to summon." 

After the sword was pointed at the sky, a cloud started to appear in the sky out of nowhere. The cloud was expanding at an extremely fast speed. It covered hundreds of miles. Then suddenly, Red bolts of lightning began to appear in the sky. They almost looked like massive pillars that connected heaven and earth.

When Hue Chi's master saw this, his expression changed, and he said, 

"Oh no, Hell lightning. Hurry, activate the defensive formations. This is a powerful technique."

When Hue Chi's grandfather said this, three groups activated the formations— every group having a total of ten people— then all three groups came together, and a large circular shield appeared above them. The shield was light blue in color and was transparent. When the lightning struck the shield, it was blocked by it. But the impact was huge on the shield. There were loud sounds everywhere in the sky because of the Hell Lightning, and these sounds were only a little weak compared to the explosion's sound before. There were many bolts of lightning within a few seconds.

Yang Zhai didn't remain idle, he tried to attack the people who were forming a defensive shield, but he was stopped by the other people that were defending the ones forming the shield. The defensive shield was only above them, not in all directions. That's why the fight continued below the shield.

Yang Zhai slashed his sword and killed a person. He was moving here and there in the crowd, killing people with a single slash. The people that were killed by him with a single strike were weaker than him in Rank and prowess. Otherwise, how could they be killed with a single strike?

Yang Zhai had just killed a woman when a blue light landed on him from behind. He was sent flying with a powerful impact. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, but didn't look back or stop the momentum. He let the momentum carry him forward. Because of this, he got a chance and took advantage of the opportunity. 

He managed to reach the people forming the defensive shield with the momentum he was thrown with. He slashed his sword and cut the head of one of the many men constituting the shield. Then, Yang Zhai used his movement ability to hurriedly jump to another man and grab his head. He released a technique from his hand and cut the man into two pieces from top to bottom. He didn't stop there and went on to kill the others. But he only managed to kill only three more. As for the others, they had already reacted and used their full power to defend themselves and ran to the others.

However this was enough, as the transparent light blue shield already had a few cracks appearing in it. The cracks kept on increasing because of the Hell Lightning. This was because when Yang Zhai killed five of the thirty people forming the shield, the shield had become weak and had its links weakened. So, the light shield couldn't hold the Hell Lightening back anymore.
