Chapter 96 Brutal
After slowly saying those words, Lothur summoned the ax in his spatial ring and made a sudden move.
Almost immediately after such a weapon appeared in his right hand, he made a throwing motion toward the chest of the strongest of those individuals.
Vuup!
"What?"
"How?"
The criminals in the surrounding area were surprised by Lothur's movement. However, before they even realized how strong the throwing of that ax had been, such a thing hit the chest of that 3rd Transformation cultivator, the one with the best attributes.
At that instant, sounds of flesh being pierced and bones breaking came out of that man's chest as a look of disbelief formed on his face.
After that, that individual's body was thrown backward, while one of Lothur's ax blades was already fully stuck in his left chest.
"Ahhhhhh!"
A pathetic scream that did not last 2 seconds spread to the surroundings before that person fell dead to the ground!
Puff!
Seeing that happen only 4 seconds after Lothur's words had finished coming out of his mouth, everyone there was shocked at the brutality with which this young man acted.
Elke was shocked to the core of her soul, feeling that all of this was unbelievable.
At one moment, she was afraid of what might happen to all of them. But then, Lothur acted, finishing off such an opponent as if a 3rd Transformation cultivator were nothing!
That had been impressive!
'Lothur...' She clasped her hands together, remembering his words.
On the other hand, each of the five individuals surviving that first move of Lothur's was terrified, disbelieving that their leader had died like that.
"How? How can that be?" One of them muttered in a weakened tone, already preparing to turn and run from there.
But Lothur was filled with hatred at the moment, and all he had in mind was to eliminate the vermin who had unholy ideas regarding his woman.
With his brutal side in command, he quickly made a move to take back his ax, surprising those people there, as his speed was at least four times faster than the fastest among them.
Because of this, as he ran to the front where that corpse was lying, Lothur took the opportunity and launched a flying kick towards the head of the level 2 enemy that was near him.
Pow!
Immediately after one of his feet hit that opponent's jaw, Lothur landed on the ground next to that corpse, seeing that person's deformed face spinning horizontally, while a strange look appeared on that face.
However, this time no sound of agony came out, as that individual fell without consciousness as if he had lost all signs of his body in a single instant.
And seeing the blank look in that man's bulging eyes, Jacob understood that Lothur's kick had been enough to break that enemy's neck, finishing another opponent.
'Unbelievable!' His eyes widened in surprise, not expecting Lothur to be so powerful.
"This guy is a monster! Run away! Warn the rest..." The other level 3 individual was about to say those words, already running through that area, when suddenly Lothur's ax came flying and hit such a person in the middle of his back.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
This time, cries of pain lasted longer, with that man falling to the ground as he struggled, feeling like something had broken his spine.
"Ahh! Run! Run!"
"Save yourselves!"
"Ahh! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The three survivors began to scream in desperation, fleeing down different paths, hoping such a monster would not wipe them all out.
But they had underestimated Lothur's movement technique and determination!
The moment this young man had removed his ax from the body of his first target to throw it at that man's back, he had caught the blades in the hands of that first body.
Having done so, immediately after his second ax throw, Lothur began to run in pursuit of those three remaining opponents, throwing the two blades against two different targets.
Swooish!
The first blade thrown spun horizontally, slicing toward the leg of one of his more distant opponents.
The second blade thrown spun vertically, heading towards the head of that other 2nd Transformation cultivator.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Lothur's farthest opponent then got walloped, feeling his leg being sliced by a 30-centimeter-long weapon that hit him so hard that he was almost thrown forward.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
And while that man, now missing one of his legs, cried out in pain, trying to comprehend what had just happened, the other target of Lothur's throws fell face down on the ground, dead.
The blade thrown by Lothur had hit the back of that person's head, killing him in a split second and lodging in his head.
"What?" The last criminal running there almost shit his pants as he saw his last companions being brutally wounded.
They were just having another night of fun, working to secure their earnings while robbing gullible fools. How could they deserve this?
How could trying to get a naive girl into bed with all of them have brought them to such a hell? They had done similar things so many times in the past, but nothing like this had ever happened.
Thinking of similar things, that survivor was desperate, praying for a brave soul to come along and save him.
But just as many of his victims had not found a savior, this man had met the same fate.
When such a person was only 40 meters away from the first body, Lothur caught up with him, hitting a powerful kick to his ribs.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Ahhhhhhh! Miserable! Wretched, son of a bitch!"
"Ahhhhhhhh! Wait for that! Bastard!"
That person rolled across the ground as he bawled in pain, feeling in every fiber of his body that this was the end.
Thinking about it, he could not help but curse Lothur, trying to infuse some fear in that opponent's mind.
"Shut up and die!" Lothur's eyes sharpened as he raised his right foot to the height of his navel and then brought it down with full force on that person's head.
Puff!
The brains of that individual splattered all over the surroundings right after Lothur smashed that head, finally ending the screams of his opponent.
"Ahhhh!"
As he lamented that his trousers had become soiled from that ill-thought-out blow, Lothur noticed the cries of pain from those two wounded men, the one who had lost his leg and the other who had an ax jammed into his back.
Looking toward the two, he slowly moved his neck, emitting sounds of snapping bones. "Jacob, do me a favor. Collect the items from each corpse while I finish with these two." He said coldly, without even looking at that young man.
Gulp!
After hearing that, Jacob did not take long to do as ordered and quickly ran towards the corpse closest to him.
"Lothur..." Elke said in a low voice, grateful that Lothur had done all that for her.
She was a woman of the cultivation world, someone who, however unaccustomed to killing, understood well what was necessary and needed to happen.
If Lothur had not been there, she probably would have been raped by those people, and Jacob killed.
Considering this, she did not pity them and was grateful that such a man was so decisive in protecting her!
To her, no matter how scary Lothur seemed at the moment, her image of him had only improved as she looked at him even more interested.
She then managed to say something besides his name. "Lothur, I will help you..."
But that man did not want that. "No, Elke. Stay where you are, and don't touch those bodies."
"Uh? Why?"
"I don't want you to get your hands dirty..." He said this in a less cold tone as he used a blade to slit that person's throat who had lost one of his legs.
Lothur had already killed nine people since he arrived there and was already becoming someone capable of doing what was necessary in the cultivation world. But he still had his principles and would not let a pure person like Elke get her hands dirty when he could do all the dirty work.
Anyway, it did not take long for him to retrieve his ax and use it to end the life of the last enemy, ending the elimination of that group of criminals.
Elke then ran to his side and hugged him tightly, finally feeling good after the abusive comments of less than 2 minutes ago.
"Lothur, thank you..." She felt her eyes moisten as her heart beat faster and her feelings overflowed.
'That's the man I want for myself!'
'I can't allow myself to be with another!' She thought about it at that moment, feeling that she should do everything in her power to be with Lothur.
Meanwhile, that silver-haired man heard Jacob's voice. "Now, what do we do?"
...
