Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 462 - 462: Taste of His Own Medicine
“Back then us four, without even provocation, right now, this promising seed that might, no, will push our Sky Soul Star to a new frontier…” looking at the ancient man with raging hatred seething in his ocean calm eyes, this new figure arriving, an old but well-built man said as a sigh of disappointment escapes from his mouth, the unassuming air around him, lacking in grandeur and authority the ancient man is naturally oozing, changing the moment he continues his words.
“Just how long will you suppress the advance of my beloved world for your own childish, greedy needs for power, Long Yangxue?” with those words escaping his mouth, the pressure around the old man starts to change as he the once unassuming air turns into one with the grandness beyond the Imperial Court Ancestor’s as if one is sent into a massive battlefield that spans the entirety of the void, and in front of them the adversary, a massive, insurmountable monster that is the old man exuding such air.
“Tsk tsk tsk… every damn time I see it, I can’t help but wonder why is it that he’s still holding back against that short sighted, greedy bastard…” appearing beside the immortal-like young man, yet another old figure emerges, one with a smile on his face as he looks at one of the leaders sitting at the very top of the Heavenly Secret Tower, this old man, despite the peculiar air around him, is a seer of terrifying precision and accuracy, a cultivator that while lacking in terms of his combat prowess, is still a monster that defies logic in his own right.
“Senior…” recalling the face of this old restaurant owner that the empress-like Hua Xian’er introduced him to, the immortal-like young man offers a greeting of respect, prompting a smile from the peculiar old man as he pats the young man on the back, focusing on him rather than the fight about to happen just near them.
“Kid, I merely thought that you’re a gifted person, some sort of fated and loved by the world, but given how much of a monster you are, I doubt that is the case… there’s no way this humble world of ours can raise such a monster like you…” the peculiar old man said with a smile on his face, nodding in admiration at the feat of the immortal-like young man, admitting to himself that there’s no way for him, or in fact, any other people in this world, to replicate such terrifying combat prowess.
“I’m not done yet…” seeing the assuring look on the peculiar old man’s face, as is he is telling him that there’s no need to worry about the fight anymore as the adults has arrived, the immortal-like young man merely stated, the invincibility provided by the synergy of his two physiques no longer working yet his body still standing, almost as if the fight that just happened took nothing from him at all.
Despite this image though, both the peculiar old man and the second eldest of the four greatest powers of the Heavenly Secret Tower, knows full well that the young man is already exhausted in both the body and the mind, all that is holding him up now is his immense will to see through the end of the fight that started between him, and the celestial-level being on the opposite side of them.
‘It’s good to be young…’ they thought in admiration as they smiled at Su Xiaotian’s words, thinking that he is merely keeping himself together, and the words that spill off his mouth are nothing but his way of expressing that he isn’t willing to rest yet.
Which also makes it so much of a surprise to them as they saw the burning ember in the young man’s eyes, clearly showing them that his fight is not over yet, a show that also puzzles them as they wonder just what it is that makes him so confident that his fight is not over yet.
Even the ancient man himself couldn’t help but curiously look towards the immortal-like young man as he mocks in his mind the foolishness of his actions, wondering why is it that he clings to the battle so stubbornly when there are already his backers that are supporting him right now.
And with this thought, along with knowing the fact that these people had yet to dare mess with him, given the current situation, the ancient man smiles, as just when he finally thought that all was over for him, it is also the same moment that he finally saw that small window to getting out of this situation.
“You know, I—” intending to strike some sort of deal with Hua Xingtian, Long Yangxue couldn’t even finish his words as he felt an immense dread looming atop his head, forcing him to move away from his current position in extreme haste, confusing both Hua Xingtian and the peculiar seer, Lucius, who also found out the reason for him doing so the next moment.
“Kuaaghhh!!!!” feeling the warm, darkened red blood oozing from his wrist as he held the stump where his hand once was, the Imperial Court’s Ancestor screams in utter pain as he turned his gaze, filled with hatred and the desire to kill, towards the immortal-like young man bearing the same gaze towards him as well, the unflinching, unbothered manner in which this young man stares back at him sending shivers down his spine.
“Tsk…” seemingly still feeling quite unsatisfied with taking the hand of a celestial-level cultivator, Su Xiaotian clicks his tongue in annoyance, prompting old Lucius to widen his eyes in disbelief, as he immediately figured out the reason for him to do such a thing.
‘He’s aiming for so much more than the hand…’ he thought in conclusion as a wide smile appears on his old face, appreciating the fact that not only is this young man quite eloquent in conversations and a terror in combat, he also possesses quite the cunning, a skill that one can never go without in this cruel cultivation world.
“Not bad kid, you can’t always expect your plan to work…” still, having succeeded in leaving a devastating blow to the opponent despite the clear, massive chasm between their cultivation realms, Lucius then praised the young man as he turns his attention towards his old friend, Hua Xingtian, who is clearly impressed with the sneak attack as well.
“I’m done now, Senior…”
“Lucius…”
“Senior Lucius and Old Xingtian, that fucker quite loves his sneak attacks so I thought of giving him the taste of his own medicine…” the immortal-like young man said as he reveals a faint smile on his handsome face, his little disheveled look something that might, or rather, will make the heart of any lady that will come across him skip some couple of beats before it starts pounding loud.
Hearing the words from Su Xiaotian along with his still powerful, proud voice, the two who were just previously playing as they stared at the vastness of the void beyond the heavens couldn’t stop themselves from letting a snicker out, before they exploded into full-on laughter in admiration of this young man’s nerves of steel.
