Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis and the Core Disciple glared at each other as the atmosphere seemed to electrify.

The only reason why Gravis even considered fighting this person was that he had the lightning element. Destroying this person's lightning element wouldn't kill him, but it would weaken his offense significantly.

Yet, this person still had a Will-Aura just as powerful as his Realm, and he obviously knew how to fight very well. The explosive power of his Energy, even without lightning, would still be hazardous to Gravis.

If this guy didn't have the lightning element, Gravis wouldn't even consider fighting them.

"I will take you back to the Sect," the Core Disciple said with narrowed eyes.

"Try it," Gravis said back. "If you try to force me into something, one of us will die. I guarantee it. There are two things I hate above everything else, suppression and hypocrisy. I will not join any Sect that harbors people with these traits."

WHOOM!

The Core Disciple's Will-Aura intensified. "Is that an accusation!?" he shouted in righteous anger.

"What do you think?" Gravis answered. "You are trying to suppress me by pulling me away and talk on and on about kindness. Have you spared every guy that attacked you? If not, then you're talking out of your ass."

The Core Disciple had never felt so disrespected before. He was a chosen of the Sect! Even when he had been a mere Nascent Nourishing Cultivator, everyone else treated him with respect! Yet, this guy was disrespecting him like never before!

Sadly, not everyone was able to see their own hypocrisy. Gravis had also been the victim of that before.

"You have no choice," the Core Disciple said with anger. "You are weak, and I will take you back to the Sect!"

SHING!

Gravis retrieved his saber, which was sparking crazily with lightning. Gravis couldn't possibly absorb a person's "corpse" right in front of others. Consuming others to become more powerful was an ability of beasts, not humans. Additionally, Gravis was not willing to consume the corpse of another human.

Sure, in the lower world, Gravis had absorbed the Energy in other people's dantians, but that was different from straight-up eating an entire human. Gravis was a human, and he wouldn't eat another human.

Yet, Gravis was willing to use the lightning as a weapon. The dead opponent had transformed into lightning, and Gravis had changed him into a loaded Lightning Crescent, which had far more power than normal.

Sadly, even though the Energy part of the Lightning Crescent was increased severely, the Will-Aura and Spirit part were normal. This would be a powerful attack, but the Core Disciple might be able to evade the attack or survive it.
