Emperor's Reckoning-Chapter 957 - Comical Teacher?
957 Comical Teacher?
Two figures were standing at the gate as they garnered attention from the cultivators. ππeπwπππππβ―π‘. cπm
One was a woman. Her long legs carried her swiftly and gracefully, her leggings hugging every curve of her toned muscles. Her blonde hair was braided into a circlet above her head, the braids intertwining like a serpent as they twisted and turned.
In her hand, she held a menacing scythe, the blade glinting ominously in the dim light. The size of the weapon was perfectly proportionate to her slender frame, and it seemed to radiate power and deadly intent.
She moved with fluid grace, her eyes scanning the entire town for any sign that had not yet been revealed. Her senses were heightened, her body poised for action as she landed her attention on the other two students.
The one beside him was a man with a robust figure, filling the air with a sense of arrogance. His neck was thicker than Rayusβs neck and a square jaw that was set permanently to a scowl. Every step he took seemed to be heavy and deliberately so.
He was the one that held Reinhard by the neck so casually but firmly. The latterβs feet were cycling to reach the ground but it was a meaningless effort.
βHahaha, stop squirming around, you act like a bug,β said the man before laughing with cockiness.
βLet him go!β said Noah from the distance.
βHahaha!β the man laughed, βWhy donβt you come here and force me?β
.....
βTch!β Noah knew he was no match against the man that stood towering. No, the entire city was in the clutch of these two from the moment they stepped inside. Their power far surpassed them all and the chances of all cultivators working together to take them both down were near null. They would rather live, and not risk dying to save a loud brat.
βNoah, go get teacher!β said Rayus.
βR-Right!β Noah quickly turned before his pupils shrunken. His goosebumps heightened across the bar of limitation before a sharp wave hit his back. His clothing was easily shredded and blood spewed out as his feet left the ground. βGah!β he was sent rolling.
βNoah!β Rayus exclaimed.
βNot one more step,β said the woman as she pointed at Rayus with her scythe.
βTch!β Rayus gritted his teeth, βWho are you two?!β
βGlad you asked,β said the man, βWe are from the Burgeon Swan, the top management that is.β
The cultivators gasped as they heard the revelation.
( Crap! They came already! ) thought Rayus. βWhat do you want?β
βWe are searching for the group that extinguished the camp nearby, and also Gamaelβs head was unattached,β said the lady before she threw a head. The head rolled to the center of the cityβs attention. It was Gamaelβs severed head.
The cultivators gasped yet again. Gamael was one of the prominent figures in Burgeon Swan, however, his head rolled and the last expression that he gave was that of shock and horror.
βWe want information for the one responsible for this, or we will have to purge this place,β said the woman.
βW-We have no idea! No idea!β said one of the cultivators with fear seeping his withering creased forehead. He hastily took steps backward before his fright peaked then made a run for it.
The lady snarled before she blinked from her spot.
All cultivators were caught off guard before a ripped flesh was heard. The cultivator that was running, was split in half from behind. The lady didnβt spare a glance as the corpse made its first thud against the ground. βAnyone else, trying to run?β
The cultivators were petrified by the sight. The death was brutally quick and efficient, none of them could catch her movement. Those long legs were not just for show, they thought.
Noahβs finger flinched. He was still alive despite the deep wound he suffered from the assault. ( Shit, my back burns! ) thought Noah as he gritted his teeth. He was disabled before he could reach the inn with his glance.
His ears suddenly perked up as his eyes widened. A shadow enveloped his body before he heard rustled clothes. βYou alright?β
βTeacher!β Noah exclaimed whilst still under.
βTeacher!β Rayus exclaimed as well.
βTeacher?β The man furrowed his brows before smirking a grin, βAhahaha, to think that we find a bonding between a student and a teacher, how touching, how touchingβ I take it that you are one of his students too?β he said to Reinhard whose face was paling.
The woman furrowed her brows and looked at Lyon who was squatting down. He seemed to not be accompanied by other people, but he was calm while in the sea of torrenting fear. She immediately spread her divine sense and caught Lyon rising his brows.
βHuh,β Lyon turned his head before finding the woman with a scythe in her hand. Blood was dripping as he breathed. He grinned as he stood up. He smirked looking at the woman.
βThatβs pathetic,β said the woman. βA peak True God Cultivator, and I pity these students.β
βHmm, did you say something, beauty?β asked Lyon.
βOi!β the burly man called out.
βHuh?β Lyon raised his brows. βWhat do you want?β
βLook what I got,β said the burly man as he showed Reinhard and dangled him. Reinhardβs neck was hardly left visible from the grip.
βWhat you got?β asked Lyon.
βWhat?β the burly man raised his brows in confusion, βIs this not your student?β
βWhat?!β Lyon furrowed his brows as he squinted his eyes he barely noticed Reinhardβs face, βOh shit, Reinhard, hahaha! You need to have blood on your face, youβre so pale I bet your mother wonβt recognize you.β
Foam started to bubble up and seeped out of Reinhardβs closed lips. However, they didnβt know were it from the intensity of the choke or the intensity of the rage boiling inside of him.
βAre you sane?β the burly man furrowed his brows, βDonβt you realize the severity of this situation, I can send him off with a little pressure from my grip, like breaking a thin twig,β he said so menacingly. However, his threat was greeted with a yawn from the man that was supposed to be covered with anxiety.
βYada, yada, yada,β said Lyon. βIf you want to let go of him, then let go already, if you donβt then you donβt have to, that student of mine wonβt die that easy.β
( Iβm literally going to die that easy! ) thought Reinhard from his bulging eyes.
βWell, a demonstration then,β said the burly man.
βOh, whatβs this, why is Gamaelβs head over here?β asked Lyon.
The woman furrowed her brows before she asked, βDid you know something? Spit it out.β
βKnow what?β Lyon asked as he shrugged his shoulder as if he knew nothing.
βThe Burgeon Swan camp near here, inside an illusion, had just been massacred by an unknown assailant,β said the woman, βIf you know something about it, then he will let your student life, and I will spare the town from an unwanted massacre.β
βP-Please young man! If you know something, please tell them!β said one of the cultivators shaking in fear.
βPlease young man, you could spell our safety!β said another,
βPlease, young man!β said the cultivators in unison.
The people of Guh City were looking at him, yearning for everyday mundane life that was threatened. Some of them knew he was involved in the recent restaurant accident, but none of them knew enough that he was the actual perpetrator of things leading to this dire situation in the first place.
Lyon sighed, βWill you promise me that you will let Reinhard go?β
βWell, that would depend on your answer, teacher.β
βYou wonβt like the answer,β said Lyon.
βHuh?β
Lyon smirked, βFor you see, the last person that this head saw...β
The woman with the scythe had her pupils shrunk to a dot. A scent of killing intent wafted around her like a sudden burst of flame. Her poised body was instinctively vigilant but she didnβt know where it came from.
βIs me,β said Lyon as he pointed at himself with a proud grin.
The city was silent as they heard what he just said like a giant bell tolling and snapping away their attention.
β...Wha? What? Hahahahaha!β the burly man laughed and slapped his thighs a few times. Tears riddled his eyes before he said, βY-You got a comedian for a teacher? Hahaha, I wish my teacher was half good as yours.β
βShe.... coming...β said Reinhard with veins bulging on his forehead but a smirk formed.
βHuh?β the burly man was still in the middle of his laughter.
The lady with the scythe had her eyes widened before she shouted with all her might, βPoger! Watch out! HEβS NOT ALONE!β
Pogerβs eyes widened as he tried to peek behind him but was greeted with a sword hacking down his shoulder. Blood immediately spurted from the stump and painted Reinhardβs face with a patch. The city fell into silence before his howl of pain was heard after he stepped away.
