Book 2 Chapter 58: Flight or Fight?

As Alex’s mind was slowly being infiltrated a blue energy gushes out from his Dantian as it forms a shield around his soul.

Alex’s complexion transform back to normal in seconds.

“That was close,” Alex mutters to himself.

As for the others that heard the melody they were instantly hypnotized as they walk like zombies toward the voice.

Since Lintian blocked out all the sound from his ears he couldn't detect the melody at all but due to his strong soul he did detect some form of conscious energy bouncing off of his soul. He couldn't help but frown after he scan the locations of the three teams he sent coming here. Their vibrational rhythm were perfectly in sync. That is impossible since every living being have their own unique vibration.

Lintian can easily detect vibrations due to his training in the Divine Lightning Body God’s Art. So in this world there are three types vibrations. The dimensional vibration which is kinda of like vibration form of DNA that structures and glue this reality together. Then there is the physical vibration of the mass in the world. The mass each of their own unique vibration due to density, materials and so on. Then the last vibration is the one that Lintian found weird. It is the unique vibration that all living beings have. It is similar to a DNA. Most would call it a rhythm. An example would be how we can tell who it is just by hearing the footsteps in a different room.

It is not impossible for someone to copy another person’s rhythm but it is impossible for all three teams with no prior contact or pre-coordinated plan to do so, to have a perfect rhythm of each other.

Another problem is that it is a new rhythm that didn't match any of these 9 individuals but it did roughly match this she male’s rhythm roughly.

In order to test this theory Lintian activate the shock diagram inside those nine individuals. The results were they were not even slightly effected.

The good news was Alex was somehow not effected and Lintian moves back to Alex.

“Hey are you okay?” Lintian asks through a voice transmission.

“Yeah,” Alex replies but Lintian couldn't hear.

“Nod for yes and shake your head if not. I can’t hear you right now.”

Alex nods his head. Through the vibration Lintian could tell.

“Alright here is the plan. We are at a huge disadvantage right now and those three

teams have be compromised. How many perfect clones can you create?”

“Perfect clones I can only create two,” Alex whispers as he brings up two fingers.

“Do you think you can hold off five of them?”

“Hell no I’m not you,” Alex whispers back in disbelief. If Lintian himself wasn't even willing to take them on five on how would he who was clearly weaker do it. In response Alex shook his head to say no.

Lintian swiftly snuck back to where Alex was unnoticed. Then he casted a sound deflection spell around them. Then Lintian release the other spell he casted around his ears.

“I think you should use one of your clones to attract demonic beasts to area to distract them while we fight,” Lintian suggest.

“I don’t think that would work at all,” Alex responds. “The demonic beast in here are not strong enough to effect them at all. If we could kill those beast with ease I feel like they could too.”

“Then there isn't much we can do,” Lintian sighs as he sat down.

“Uncle Rashu you got any ideas?” Lintian mentally asks.

“This is not something for me to suggest. This is a test for yourself. I can’t help you solve it.”

“Hey how about you take five on one and I’ll stall Micheal for you. If I use two clones I am sure I can tie him down for at least 3 minutes,” Alex suggests.

“They just took out all three of the other teams.” Lintian thought for a bit and then replies, “we will do that then. If you ever feel in danger run as far and fast as possible. Also you need to stop hiding your cultivation. If you keep doing so we will defiantly lose.”

Alex smiles knowingly and stopped the suppression of his cultivation as his cultivation rose to the fifth of the Master’s realm.

Lintian’s eyebrows crunch together as he didn't realize that Alex’s cultivation was actually higher than his.

“You rascal,” Lintian chuckles. “I thought it was at the fourth not the fifth. When did you break through?”

“Two weeks ago.”

“Okay you hold him off for three minutes. That should give me enough time to take out two to three of them. Once I take out two of them we switch. Lets wait a bit more before moving out.”

“You two go take care of the three teams heading toward us,” said a feminine voice. This could only have been said by that She-male Lintian thought.

Lintian could feel through the vibrations of the ground that the two girls were already shifting through the forest to take out the other three teams.

“Now!” Lintian shouts through a voice transmission to Alex.

Lintian’s cultivation flew from the second stage to the fourth stage. Lightning surges through his veins and meridian points. His dragon eyes activated. Then Lintian casts two spells on Alex and himself. This spell increases speed, strength, and defense by twenty percent.

Micheal and his allies instantly felt the changing flow of qi in the air.

“He’s coming,” Micheal shouts. “You three take care of his team mate and I’ll take care of him.”

“Isn’t it overkill for us three to fight some no name second rate school student?” The female like male laughs mockingly at Micheal.

Micheal glares intensely at him ready to snap but decides not too. “Melinda if I were you I would not underestimate him.”

Rustle, rustle.

Micheal heard a rustle and instantly his thoughts were we are under attack and a creepy smile spreads across his face like he has been waiting for this.

Micheal saw a flash of crimson yellow flying towards him and his body simultaneously reacted to the stimuli. A small six inch knife appears in his hand as his body moves to attack the crimson yellow flash.

Lintian using his Dragon eyes managed to slow down the surrounding area as he sprints toward Micheal. He saw Micheal react to him and saw the knife coming out from under his sleeves. Lintian’s body arches lower the closer he got to Micheal as he blew passes him aiming for the he-she was seems to be the leader of the group.

A ruler size sword made from the Armament of a thousand transformation technique appears in his left hand. As the sword flows toward’s Melinda’s neck Lintian’s right hand made a couple of shurikens. As he twists his body around the shuriken’s zooms towards othe other two members of this allied group.

The sword almost made contact with the he-she’s neck until Lintian felt and invisible resistant near that person’s neck which caused spark to fly. In a split second decision Lintian pulls the sword back and retreated a couple meters.

Boom!

An area of five feet around Melinda was decimated. This all happened in less than a second which didn't give people enough time to react.

Micheal who was the fastest in the group was about to attack Lintian when he saw three Alexs’ come running like a rabid dog towards him.

“Hohoho you managed to activate one of the self defense spells I placed on myself,” chuckles Melinda as she or he pulls out a fan from his or her interspacial ring.

Lintian’s right hand surges with lightning and his left hand a kunai knife made from a mix of black flames and lightning. This was the simplified version of the mountain piercing blade. It was a high and quick attack but it lacks the ability to destroy everything in its path.

The two men from Micheal’s team just fended off the shurikens and was about to charge toward Lintian but Lintian already disappeared into the wind.

Lintian’s body moves forward again and this time Melinda was prepare as sound waves were surging out like an ocean’s wave. It lacked power but it was enough to make it difficult for Lintian to get closer.

Then Lintian thought of a method as he used his left hand to create a vibration absorbing spell diagram. Instantly all sound were being absorbed.

In that split second through Melinda’s flicks his wrist containing the fan and tsunami like wave came crashing on top of Lintian’s body. The first wave hit. Lintian felt like his organs were about to explode.

Without a second thought Lintian’s body tune itself into the same frequency as those sound waves.

Due to this the lightning and kunai in Lintian’s hand disappear but an even deadlier weapon appears.

Lintian used the God’s Art to pass through those waves as his fist gathers energy for the Soul Penetrating fist.

Boom!

Out of the corner of his eyes Lintian saw Micheal came sprinting in as his right hand formed a lance. His speed was actually even faster than his by at least one level. Lintian has to make a decision now.

Flight or fight?
