Chapter 414: War isn't a joke

Lith watched his squad battle the small families and powers of Redstone City.Ralph and Dennis were Rank 8s and had the situation under control.There were also six Rank 7s in the squad and four Rank 6s. These disciples were the top ones from the Shadow River Sect and the sect wasn't stingy in providing them to Lith.'Hmm, that guy there has some good martial skills.' Lith thought to himself as he saw a disciple in black robes execute a technique to perfection.Lith knew what technique this was. Being in the world's strongest clan, he could easily get his hands on such information. During the time he spent cultivating at home, he had studied many manuscripts and arts. Though he didn't apply those things himself or use the martial skills, he had a good understanding of them.The arts that the disciple was using was a low grade one. But it was still the best among mortal ranks and many powerhouses in the world would kill to get their hands on these.After analysing that disciple, he turned his attention towards another one. 'That guy there has perfect coordination with the short guy here. Good.'He was analyzing everyone on the ground and was thinking of what to make them do when they reach the very core of the Senzal Clan.Lith continued to analyze the battle as a few fighters tried to break through his defenses. After many failed attempts at breaking the barrier around Lith, the people around him gave up and called for help.Soon, two Rank 9s who were on standby were called to deal with Lith by the ones attacking him.There were around ten Rank 9s in total among the hundred people. Since it was beneath them to join the fight of the Rank 8s and 7s, they stayed behind and monitored the progression of battle.They could see that Lith was doing the same thing as them but they didn't consider him a threat. Though Lith looked damn handsome, there was no powerful aura around him and they assumed he must be Rank 8 or something and used an artifact to protect himself.The two Rank 9s who were called didn't want to fight with Lith but they could understand that the juniors weren't able to break the barrier. So, they charged towards Lith to break his barrier and give them an opening."AAAAAAAA…" A man with a medium build yelled as he flew towards Lith, ready to punch a hole through the barrier. His scream seemed like he was powering up to do a critical hit on Lith.The lady beside the guy knitted her brows as she glided through air in a calm manner beside the guy. 'So vulgar and uncouth.'

The lady was in a purple hanfu and the end of her dress fluttered as she moved towards Lith. The other areas were all tightly stuck to her body and accentuated her curvy figure.Lith heard the guy's scream and turned his attention to look at him."Tch. Even if I don't do anything, these people will still attack me." He said with slight annoyance.He didn't hit a single person among the hundreds here yet they are still trying to come at him. Wasn't it a bad thing? I mean, it was war obviously but hey, why fight when the other person is just standing still in one place?The guy and the lady soon closed in on Lith and…"AAAAAA HA!"BOOM! The guy punched with full force at the barrier. The lady accompanying him simply sent some sharp object towards the barrier in an elegant manner and waited for the object to pierce Lith.Smoke appeared due to the explosion the man created and it took a few seconds for it to get cleared.As soon as the smoke dissipated, the lady and the man noticed that the barrier was still strong without a single scratch on it.They then noticed Lith looking at them with an indifferent expression on his face. To them, it seemed as if his face said, 'how stupid can you be to do that?'Their faces became ugly when they saw his nonchalance. Although Lith was really handsome, the lady still didn't like this look on him."Brat, whatever artifact you're using, it won't be able to protect you for long." The guy sneered."Stop talking like a 3rd rate villain. Have some elegance." The lady had enough of the guy beside him."What?" The guy was stupefied to hear this and couldn't help but ask.This time it was the lady that sneered and looked away from the man and towards Lith. She could tell that Lith was definitely someone from a well off family from the clothes he wore and the way he stood. Follow current on novel-online.com

Everything about him reeked of superiority and to the lady, everything felt…'Elegant!'The lady shouted in her mind as she looked at Lith standing there with a neutral demeanor.Lith was on the opposing side but he was so much better than the mannerless rascal beside her. The lady was bound to have such bias.But whatever the case, she was in a war and couldn't think much about these things.She turned to look at Lith and said calmly, "we are here to break this barrier and have you get beaten up by the people around us. It won't be just that. You'll even end up getting killed for sure.""I'll give you one chance to–"SLAP!Lith didn't wait for the lady to speak so much and quickly closed in on her and sent her flying with a slap.The lady, the guy beside her, the ones around him, and also the ones watching had their eyes pop out in shock as the beauty was interrupted and slapped without any warning."Y-y-you!" The man who was right beside pointed his finger towards Lith and said in shock.He couldn't fathom how Lith had the audacity to slap such a beauty and not to mention, he didn't even let her finish!"What? This isn't an anime. This is real life." Lith could tell why the man had such a shocked expression and decided to enlighten him a bit with the most profound knowledge of the world.The man was stunned. Before he could react and come to his senses, Lith teleported right beside him and crushed his head by hitting both his hands on his cheek.The man's eyes popped out and his head exploded. He died right away. He was a human and humans had no innate abilities to survive when their head was crushed like vampires or other species that had healing and regeneration abilities.The lady that was slapped to the ground got up and spit the blood in her mouth. She rubbed her stinging red cheek. Looking up, she glared at Lith hatefully. Follow current on storynovel.net

Nobody had ever dared to do such a thing to her in thousands of years, how dare Lith do such a thing!? Who did he think he was!?The lady got up and she was about to use her spiritual power when she noticed that the elemental energies in her body had turned chaotic and even her spiritual power was draining at a constant speed.Noticing this, the lady got angry. She immediately took out a pill from her ring and gulped it down. She felt her heart bleed because the pill was very expensive and her hatred for Lith further intensified.The lady was fully healed and she charged towards Lith again, this time fueled with rage. This time she would not hold back because of the handsome appearance of Lith.Lith let the lady charge towards him and looked at her calmly. If the enemy is taking pains to get close to you, why bother wasting your energy and go towards them?The lady condensed her spiritual power in her hands and turned it into a high intensity elemental attack. The element she was using was Fire and it was the best one for a long range attack.The lady sent the condensed Fire energy ball towards Lith and followed behind it. In case the attack didn't work, she would hit Lith with her own fist.Lith looked at the attack calmly and let it come close.Just as it neared him, Lith vanished from his spot and…"...Huh?" The lady felt spatial fluctuations around her and she had a clear view of Lith and the attack she sent. Now the view changed suddenly and the lady saw her own attack closing in on her, causing the momentary confusion.BOOOOOM!The lady didn't have enough time to react to the attack as it was already very close to her. She got hit by it and was sent flying once again.Lith looked at her get hit and shook his head with pity. "Don't take war as a joke."The lady firstly underestimated Lith greatly, secondly she was here to peacefully settle and thirdly, she stupidly charged at him without even thinking of the consequences.She did not even consider that Lith may have been stronger than her.Even after eating his one slap, she had not realized that Lith was stronger than her!Her foolishness made Lith say such words.Lith then took out a cheap wooden spear from his ring and imbued it with Fire elemental energy. The wood didn't catch fire and there was simply a layer of fire coating on it.Lith sent it towards the lady and didn't even bother to look at what his wooden spear would do to her. He looked at the remaining eight Rank 9s and cracked his neck."Time to get serious."
