Chapter Disciples died

Brother Gold looked around in the void.

    No matter how much he racked his brain, there is no way, he could figure out where they are.

    Only when he looked under his feet he managed to spot something.

    It seemed like they are floating in the air at a certain height above from what looked like an area of land that is also floating in the void. And that area of the land looked like a large chessboard.

    "Where the f.u.c.k are we?"

    He muttered as he looked at Jack.

    "A special place that was modified just for your visit."

    Jack replied calmly.

    Brother Gold was p.i.s.sed by the unclear answer and he got ready to attack again. Jack didn"t care though. He just stood there with his sword.

    Brother Gold rushed at him with that weird spiritual energy barrier again and Jack swung his sword, the sword ray went past the barrier and cut the young master in the chest.

    "ARGHH.."

    Brother Gold groaned in pain as he stopped in his tracks. He was dumbstruck. He couldn"t think straight anymore. He cannot wrap his head around the fact that he was really hit by Jack who a few moments ago, was on verge of losing.

    As he was thinking, then only he realized that something is off with his body. He checked himself again realized that there are some invisible shackles placed on his cultivation level. At this moment, he is on the same level as Jack.

    The realized made his face turn pale.

    "How did you do this? What kind of trick are you playing, you sick b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?"

    He yelled at Jack and made his move once again. Jack swung his sword and blocked every one of his moves and even managed to land some severe slashes as a counter attack.

    Before he knew it, Brother Gold is standing while panting as his right hand is pressing on his left shoulder to stop the bleeding. His whole body is filled with cuts. He is bleeding from at least twenty-five wounds.

    But those wounds are not really hurting that much compared to two other things.

    One of them is his pride. For him to be brought to this situation by a man who is at least a couple of decades younger than him, who barely entered the grey circle and worst of all a person with much lower cultivation level.

    The second one is his soul.

    He can feel the cuts in his soul. Every single cut he has on his body, he could feel that on his soul as well. He doesn"t know how that was possible. He cannot think of another person that can do that within the whole grey circle.

    "How is this even possible?"

    "You being stuck here? You being defeated? What possibility are you talking about?"

    "The soul. How can you attack my soul with a sword slash?"

    "Because I am a good student?" Jack answered with a smile and slashed his sword once again. This time, he cut off an arm and a leg of brother gold and then held him by his throat.

    Both of them disappeared once again and they reappeared at the node where they were initially fighting in the first place.

      Brother gold got his cultivation back, but his arm and leg are still nowhere to be seen.

    Jack nodded as if he is confirming something and placed his sword on the neck Brother Gold.

    "Leave me. Leave me alone. You will regret it if you kill me.

    Do you really think you can just cut my neck and leave this place alive? My master is on this mountain. He will f.u.c.king kill you."

    Brother Gold threatened, Jack stayed silent. Taking this as Jack being afraid, the young master continued spitting out threats. But they stopped when Jack opened his mouth.

    "Where is he?"

    Jack asked calmly.

    "What?"

    "Where is your master?"

    Brother Gold didn"t know what to say.

    "I have been holding my sword on your neck for five minutes now. Your master that"s staying on this mountain, is very powerful. I am pretty sure he can make it in five minutes to this place and with his strength he can pinch me to death like I am an ant.

    So, where is he now? Why is he not here?"

    Brother Gold became silent. He wanted to say something, but he couldn"t bring out any words. He also started asking the questions. Where is his master?

    "As for your question. Do I dare cut your throat and leave this place?

    d.a.m.n right I will. I don"t give a f.u.c.k who your backer is, who you are born to and who taught you. You might be the reincarnation of a G.o.d for all I care.

    As long as you are in our way, in my friend"s way, there is no one and nothing in this world that I don"t dare cut."

    Those are the last words brother gold heard before his head fell off of his neck.

    By now the formation was gone and Jack took a transference token to leave the place after collecting the dead body of Brother Gold.

    Meanwhile on the other two sides, the situations are similar.

    Watt and Brother Silver reappeared on the spot. Watt is standing there with a bunch of injuries. His lower lip was crushed a bit and half of his face was swollen. He is bleeding from his ear.

    He is pretty battered, but the person opposite to him, Brother Silver. He looked like he was mauled by a bear.

    His whole body is filled with cuts and tears. He is bleeding all over and when he landed, he couldn"t even find strength to stand up. He couldn"t even lift his arms. His tendons were cut. He also seemed like he lost his mind.

    Watt threw four more cards and all four of them flew with wind blades as they cut the neck continuously. Before long, the head fell off on the ground.

    Watt collected the body and used the transference token to leave.

    At Philip"s place. When both of them reappeared, Philip"s hand is already inside Brother Black"s heart.

    He removed it and took the body before he left.

    The three young masters that were known to be the most troublesome bunch in the grey circle. Who roamed around the grey circle while offending people left and right without a single care for consequences were dead just like that.

    And they died in the hands of someone that barely entered the grey circle.

    This is going to be a great gossip material for the rest of the world.

    As for what their master is doing at this moment.

    No one can even imagine it.

    He is just sitting there leisurely in his room while still looking at what"s happening through that formation.

    He saw all three of disciples dying with his own eyes.

    "That"s a really interesting toy. Where did the three of them disappear to? Did they try to even the battlefield?"

    He muttered to himself as he looked at the formation curiously. There is not a single trace of sadness or anger displayed on his face.

    "Is it the glove that made this happen? That"s a really clever move. But where are they transporting them to? I really want to see that.

    Why don"t you come out and shed some light on this young man? I would like to know more about this trick of yours."

    He spoke the later sentences out loud. Sam into the room through the front door.

    "Sam, is it? It has been a while since I saw someone that smart. You are really good. Why don"t you become my disciple? I heard you have multiple elemental energies. It would be great if you can utilize them to maximum potential."

    "I am the reason that three of your disciples that you groomed for decades died just like that. You are asking me to become your disciple. I would have understood if you wanted to kill me. But this…"

    "They are weak. With all the grooming they got from the best resources, best authority, the favors, the backing, all of them could only get them this far. They couldn"t even utilize what I taught them to a full extent.

    It is a disgrace for me and it is good that they are dead. In fact, I might even have to thank you. That is why I am offering you this option.

    I will even take in your three other friends if you want me to. I don"t have a problem with that. They might not be official disciples, but being under the wing of Divine Formation Mountain, is great a thing for their growth."

    "The answer is no. Don"t waste too much of your time dwelling on that."

    "Then there is only one other option. To kill you right now."

    "That is actually the better option of the both from the start. But the problem is, you won"t be able to do that no matter how much you want to."

    "Really? Why? Because, what you sent here is a projection?"

    "Yes, that"s one of the reasons, but there is another one as well. If you want to know about that, you can take the token inside this device."
