Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis stepped forward under total silence. His group was not paralyzed, but they didn't need to say anything. They only smirked. The two elders from the Wind Sect were shocked that Gravis had already reached the Self Stage, but they were more relieved than shocked. They wouldn't die today.

The six attacking elders looked with terror at Gravis, while the fire elders looked with pity at the group. They could only shake their heads.

"Six people at the Sapling Stage attacking three in the initial Stage," Gravis said as he shook his head. "Pathetic. No wonder you won't ever ascend. You only care about resources but have lost all self-respect. Nearly every cultivator with the talent to ascend would feel ashamed if they were in your shoes. Why do you need the resources of weaker people if you are powerful enough to ascend by yourself?"

"We didn't-"one of them tried to transmit.

"Wait!" Gravis said suddenly, lifting one hand. The elders looked with anxiousness and fear at Gravis' lifted hand. What did he want to say? Gravis slowly lowered his hand. "I seemed to have stopped caring," he said evenly.

The elders couldn't comprehend the current situation, but Joyce chuckled a bit. When Gravis saw that, he was proud of himself. Finally, someone laughed at one of his jokes!

"Anyway," Gravis said as he looked at the water elders and the light elders. "Your Sect has not come into conflict with me before, so I won't look into it too much. I won't search for revenge on your Sects."

The four elders sighed in relief. They would survive this day.

When Gravis saw that, he raised one of his eyebrows in confusion. "Wow. You're really selfless. You're about to die, but the only thing you feel is relief that your Sect will survive. Good on you!"

"What?" the elders said in shock.

BANG!

Four Lightning Spears appeared around Gravis, which quickly shot at the four elders. In less than a second, those four elders had been reduced to ash. Gravis clapped his hands like he had just finished some work and was dusting them off.

"Now, to your Earth Sect," Gravis said as he looked at the two elders. Surprisingly, the two elders showed no fear. They knew they were about to die, but they wouldn't betray their beliefs. They were elders not only because of their cultivation level but also because of their strong beliefs. After all, elders also functioned as role models.

"So what if we die? We won't break our beliefs!" one of the elders transmitted with power.

Gravis rolled his eyes. "Sure, but honestly? I've had with up to here with your constant interfering!" Gravis said, gesturing to his neck with his hand. "First, your branch-Guild doesn't want to accept repayment. Then you send a team after me and release a kill order. Then, your fucking Heaven's Trial group attacks me, and now you attack my friends. I guess your useless Earth Sect will become the next Darkness Sect!"

The elders were a bit nervous, but they kept up their steely gaze. "You can't break our will, even if you kill every single one of us."

Gravis smirked. "Well, let's see about that. Anyway, you have to go now. I'll send you off."

BANG!
