I don't want to judge what made most of them stop their assault after I killed only two of their compadres, but I used that time to calculate my options.

In total, there was twenty-three experts that could pose any threat to me. Even if there was a horde of cultivators below collapsing spirit realm, only those at and above establishing dominion level could even hope to get my attention in this fight!

While that was the early count, I had no idea how many enemies could be hiding in the surroundings where my normal sight couldn't reach, as with all of them continuously driving their energy, there wasn't any point in trying to use energy vision, as all the minute details would be covered by the constant turbulence caused by others.

As my momentum died off with the increasing number of walls that I blasted through, I had a short while to come up with a counterstrategy.

First thing first, how do I secure my retreat.

That was the most important point and the only thing I should aim for.

Secondly, how did they block my teleport?

Connected to the first, even if I managed to escape the current situation, as long as I didn't resolve this problem, I could only heavily risk everything and try to run away on foot for as long, as the spatial interference would still be in use.

Thirdly, how did they find me?

While now it didn't really matter, if I wanted to continue traversing the lands associated with cultivation, I had to understand just what kind of method did they use to discover me! What the hell was this silent alarm? While the idea was obvious - informing the guardians about the intruder without alarming him - when did I set off? How fast did those people arrive here?

Even if those questions didn't encompass every doubt that I had, there was no time to figure out the rest. Instead of waiting for the enemies to keep the initiative, I had to start working my way up from the very bottom.

Just like most of the military codexes said, even a stupid action is better than no action at all!

Since they are driving the energy to enhance the strength of their attacks, why not make them choke on it?

Bonger, gimme one more vortex if you could be so kind!

"Blop!"

"Here goes nothing!"

In an instant, I felt the familiar tingle, before all the energy in the surrounding started rushing towards me!

But I wasn't going to just let it overwhelm me!

Noticing with a smirk on my face that the sudden flood of the mana made most of the cultivators lose their balance and trip on their feet, I opened all the pores in my body, graciously absorbing all the energy that I could!

Release.

Not bothering to add any form to my newly acquired mana, I simply pushed it away!

The worst part about this action leads to my body being unable to properly purify all the entropy within it, quickly leading to entropy poisoning caused by the amassing of this strange energy within my body…

But this was a good thing!

Gathering the residue entropy around my hands, I forcefully expelled the energy downwards, creating a small explosion under my feet.

Using the momentary flow that this small scale explosion caused, I cast several shockwaves behind my back, hoping that at least one of them would work!

Feeling the pressure that ejected me towards my enemies, I couldn't stop a devilish grin from appearing on my face as I approached my targets at the breakneck speed.

Hit!

Not even bothering to use any elaborate form or art, I simply smashed my fist surrounded by the entropy against the stomach of the first enemy that was unfortunate enough to stand on my way!

With how concentrated the entropy around my fist was, not even my body was able to keep up with the deterioration, making it slowly eat away the skin and flesh of my hands.

But it didn't matter at all, if it allowed me to separate the body of my enemy in half, with just a simple hit on his stomach!

With the vortex still glued to my position, I continued to absorb entropy and expel pure mana. This time, however, I forcefully infused as much entropy as I could around my feet!

Even if my body was able to sustain some degree of entropy, I concentrated it to the point when I felt like my feet would simply rot away in a matter of seconds.

As long as they remained in the same place!

Releasing my grip over this insane energy, I braced myself for the inevitable.

Twist!

With all laws and rules broken in the small area surrounding my feet, I could feel the frag chaotically changing from a simple downward force of the gravity, to a multitude of vectors trying to pull my tattered legs apart.

Everything happened in just a fraction of the moment. One of the forces managed to overcome the others, applying an insanely strong strength on my soles!

Instantly forced to spin in a diagonal way, I lost my ability to recognise what was were!

I could only feel my barrier slamming against more and more obstacles to the point where most of the layers gave up and shattered!

Since this strange force vector appeared only momentary and in a stationary place, I was losing momentum with every spin, brought back under the rule of the gravity.

When my body finally slowed to the point where my eyes recovered their use, I was astonished to see a bunch of pools of blood filled with what used to be humans!

I couldn't even aim while in my rotation!

With my mind soaking in the bloodlust, I couldn't help but smile once again. Despite how dangerous this situation was, I was starting to enjoy it!

Not to speak about my experience points finally increasing once more!
