Chapter 174 Fluke? Skill?
"How dare you? Do you not fear the Mu Family? They will eradicate you and every other person related to you from this world!"
Su Zhi shrieked hysterically as people following Mu Shi surrounded Ikasa.
They were cowed by Ikasa's display of might but they also knew that the Mu Family would come after them for failing to protect one of their members. If they could present Ikasa's head to the Mu Family, they would at the least have a chance to beg for leniency.
Ikasa stood calmly in the center of their encirclement, his foot inches away from the separated head of Path Finder Mu. His white energy outline was constantly flaring and subsiding with his every breath.
The situation had taken a turn for the worse but there was no other option but to get rid of Mu Shi.
In the few breaths after his death, Ikasa had already thought about the consequences of his action. He could foresee the Mu Family coming after him as soon as one of these spectators blabbered about this outside.
Ikasa knew his limits. He had a hard time dealing with the He Family. So, he could only dream of getting rid of the Mu Family who was a giant on another level.
As such, there was only one way to resolve this issue - Shut every person up!
Whether it be through killing or oaths, Ikasa had steeled his heart to do the necessary to protect himself and the people dependent on him.
Ikasa looked at the six people surrounding him and the four from the Su Family standing behind them. If it was outside, Ikasa would have a hard time fighting them.
However, he had a trump card called Moony inside the rift.
The young man looked at the other powers who were watching the conflict from the sidelines. They were like vultures who would swoop down the moment the two parties were weakened.
'I have to end this quickly and overwhelmingly!'
Once he had made a decision to not hold back, he called for his backup.
"Feng Yan! Xin Ruo! Let's take care of these pesky bugs."
Ikasa shouted loudly. Before the stooges of Mu Shi could react, he activated Wind the way and covered the distance of nearly a hundred steps in a blink of an eye, and reached his target shining with purplish red energy.
He slashed his disc diagonally at his target's right shoulder instead of launching it from afar. The Sense trainer was shocked by Ikasa's speed and he hurriedly raised his weapon to block the attack.
Kachink!
The Serrated Sun disc collided with the Sword in his target's hands. The results shocked the Sense Trainer as he felt the sword in his arm become lighter. In the exchange of weapons, the Sun Disc had chipped a significant portion of the Sword's blade!
The lighter weapon in his hands let Ikasa launch a flurry of slashes. With multiple slashes, Ikasa distracted his opponent and did not give him time to launch a counter-attack.
Noticing that their partner was at a disadvantage, two cultivators near him rushed to his aid. Alas, they were too late!
One, two, three, four … ten! In one breath, Ikasa had furiously slashed his opponent 10 times with his Disc!
On the tenth strike, Ikasa heard a loud crack. The low-quality sword could not withstand the sharp edges of his Serrated Sun Disc.
After enduring just ten strikes, the sword's blade broke into pieces like it was made from brittle glass!
"How…?"
The Sense Trainer was shocked by the destruction of his weapon. He only had the hilt of the sword left in his hand.
Ikasa did not show mercy and slashed again, this time slitting the throat of the cultivator opposite him. Before his allies could come to his rescue, the purplish red energy from the Sense Trainer had started to dim.
People watching the fight were stunned by the turn of events.
Especially those stooges who were following Mu Shi. They were still denying Ikasa's victory over Path Finder Mu and thought of it as a fluke.
They thought Ikasa only succeeded because he dishonorably sneak-attacked their leader. In a fair fight, any one of them would be able to take him out.
Their daydreams were shattered by this turn of events. Ikasa had killed one of them before any of them could react!
The people encircling Ikasa were full of dread for his prowess. Two cultivators who had rushed to support their ally looked at each other.
"He will not be able to handle us if we both attack him together, right?"
One of the two spoke, trying to convince himself and his partner. They gathered the courage to face the dreadful opponent who had killed their leader and their brother within a few breaths!
The two of them charged at Ikasa with a saber and a staff in their hands. Making use of his momentum from charging, the Saber-wielder thrust his saber at Ikasa's figure, trying to stab him.
At the same time, the wooden staff owner jumped into the air and swung his staff downward at Ikasa with a swoosh.
Ikasa knew he could not defend against either attack, so he promptly moved five steps to his right, dodging their attacks.
The Saber User tried to hack at him sideways as he charged past Ikasa by changing the trajectory of his saber mid-stab.
Ikasa did not let him succeed.
He crouched to use Sweeping Kick and the blade of the saber passed quite a bit above his head. On the other hand, his kick hit the running Saber User and caused him to stumble and fall.
The momentum from his running prevented him from regaining his balance quickly and he fell face first into the ground, tasting dirt.
While Ikasa engaged with Saber User, the wooden Staff wielder had landed and regained his footing. He quickly swept his staff horizontally trying to hit Ikasa in the back. His attack made Ikasa abandon his plans of killing the fallen Saber User.
Ikasa jumped out of the trajectory of the staff and eyed his two opponents warily. He threw a quick glance at the other Sense Trainers to see if he faced any threat from them.
He saw them hold their positions and look at the surroundings with vigilance. They seemed to be on guard for Ikasa's companions.
'Just where the hell are you guys?'
