Archwizard K’s Journey In The Cultivation World

Case 4: You wish for a revenge, you get a beating.

''Keep squirming, insects.''

Kierra's firm voice rang through the space.

Immediately, the disciples of both sects had their faces turned blue. Did she just call the elders of the Lightning Tiger Sect insects?!

It seemed as though they would see a woman being ripped to pieces here, and such a beautiful one, too.

Alas.

Needless to say, the elders, who were now 'insects', had veins popping on their foreheads, clearly enraged. They glared at Kierra; the pure qi radiating from their bodies made even more disciples faint.

'If you're going to make them faint like this, why bother bringing them?'

Kierra sighed in her heart. These people, she swore, all had anger management issues.

''Kierra, let me take care of them.''

Yu Chen put her hand on the archwizard's shoulder.

''You stand back.'' Kierra firmly said. ''They came here looking for me in the first place, and don't you want to see how amazing my magic is?''

''But...''

Yu Chen hated to admit it, but she didn't have the confidence to take care of those elders. She was only in the middle of the Soul Transformation Stage, and they had two people at the same level as her, plus two in the early tier of the same stage as well.

No matter how much Yu Chen was stronger than usual, she couldn't beat them one on four. It was also true that she wanted to see how Kierra would fight.

Eventually, Yu Chen spoke up meekly, biting her lips. ''Please...''

''Good.'' Kierra nodded contently.

''Done with your farewell?'' The old man said annoyedly, pacing back and forth a bit. ''Let us go to a suitable place, then we fight.''

''Sure.''

Kierra began to think that the overly righteous pretense of these people was not too bad now. Back in her world, useless babbling like this would only get you a fireball in the mouth.

Three minutes later, everyone had moved to the middle of the plain.

Kierra stood calmly and firmly, facing four elder cultivators—one middle-aged man, one old man, and two old women.

In her head, Kierra was going through the endless selection of spells she could use, although most of her favorite ones were now unavailable.

Finally, she decided to choose a non-lethal spell, by her standard, mostly because she didn't want to kill. She had something planned for these idiots anyway.

The wind blew.

On the other side, the old man Lu Shengzhong, who was the vice sect leader of the Lightning Tiger Sect, was secretly sweating.

'What the hell were you thinking, stupid sect leader...!'

He, as well as the two old female elders, were just fishing peacefully like normal when this idiot, useless piece of newly elected elder came and insisted they 'take revenge for the sect'.

Who the hell was going to fight a cultivator at Fusion Stage?! You poked them; you got beaten; you deserved it!

Unfortunately, the three couldn't refuse because the equally useless young master of the sect joined in, and the senile sect leader royally spoiled this young idiot, so the old people were basically forced by him to go kill themselves.

(╬￣皿￣)＝○

He really wanted to punch the hell out of this arrogant brat.

Alas.

They also had to survive. Although they looked old, they still had thousands of years ahead of them. Lu Shengzhong glanced at the two old women, and they quickly exchanged nods.

'Let's throw this match!'

Their final hope was to obediently get beaten and hope that the woman wouldn't kill them, then go back and make the sect leader fight her himself! Their reputation would be damaged, but it was much better than death.

''Right when this spirit stone hits the ground, we will begin.'' Lu Shengzhong held out an ordinary spirit stone.

As he flicked it into the air, millions of gears were turning in his mind palace. Okay, so he should go all-out for a bit, then pretend to have slipped up, letting the opponent to—

snap—!

'''' ?!? ''''

It happened too fast.

With a single snap from Kierra, hundreds—no, thousands—of magic circles instantly appeared in the air, surrounding the battlefield like a dome.

0.1 seconds.

That was the time needed for Kierra's magic circles to complete, delivering a rain of magical bullets.

⌈Bullet Hell—6★⌋

This spell, or rather, a cluster of spells, had pretty good power and didn't cost all that much mana, so it was a fine choice for Kierra.

On the other side, the four elders hurriedly defended by forming shields with their qi.

'Ridiculous...!'

Lu Shengzhong gritted his teeth. What incredible power!

By this point, the grass field had become barren from the rain of magic coming from Kierra. But it just kept going.

Kierra let out a slight yawn, covering her mouth with her palm elegantly. She didn't need any sleep, but boring fights always had her yawning like this.

The old man desperately thought of a way to retaliate, but there was virtually no chance he could survive if he just abandoned his guard for a second.

'Wait, wasn't we supposed to lose anyway...?'

His brain finally recovered.

''W-We lost! We lost!''

Lu Shengzhong's panicked voice sounded, prompting Kierra to cancel her magic.

''Well, that was underwhelming,'' Kierra said, glancing at the audience.

'As expected, they're mesmerized by my magic.'

Kierra giggled in her heart. With this, they were guaranteed to join her magic tower, yes.

''It's not over yet!'' Suddenly, the middle-aged elder shouted. ''For the honor of our sect—ACK?!''

Lu Shengzhong hurriedly slapped the heck out of this fool, instantly making him faint.

ε= (´ ο`*)

He almost died right there.

''I apologize, Lord... Erm...''

''Kierra Scarlett Aspenova.''

''Yes, Lord Kierra.'' Lu Shengzhong's voice changed dramatically, on his face now was a capitalist smile. ''It seems as though we were too arrogant and committed a sin deserving death against you. If you could please spare us, we will deliver to you our heartfelt compensation as soon as possible.''

''You don't need to,'' Kierra responded, her face emotionless. ''Are you the leader of your sect?''

''N-No, not at all, Lord Kierra.''

''Then go back and tell your leader—I will take over your entire sect in two days.''

The wind blew.

'''' ... ''''

Everyone was speechless, dumbfounded, and very possibly bamboozled...!

Granted, the Lightning Tiger Sect wasn't a prestigious sect at all, but it was still a fine one. However, this woman wanted to take over the entire sect?!

''What are you dazing for? Go.'' Kierra put a bit more power into her voice, which instantly sent chills to the elders.

''Y-Yes!''

The elders grabbed their disciples, both conscious and unconscious, and quickly ran away.

Kierra calmly walked back to Yu Chen and Bai Qing.

''How was it? Interested in magic yet?'' She asked Yu Chen.

''D-Definitely...'' Yu Chen gulped nervously. ''Um, if I may...''

''Speak.''

''Could you take a look at our sect leader, perhaps...?''

''I'm no doctor.''

''I know. It's just... I don't want to abandon hope.''

Yu Chen's face turned bitter at that sentence.

The sect leader of White Lotus had been infected with a rare disease thirty years ago. It was tamed at first, but gradually, it ate away the sect leader's vitality, energy, mind, and everything. Now, she couldn't even stay up for more than two hours a day anymore.

Yu Chen desperately tried to find a way to cure it, but ultimately, nothing worked. So although extremely unlikely, she still wanted Kierra—a 'wizard' that used a completely foreign energy, to diagnose the sect leader.

''...''

Seeing the pleading eyes of Yu Chen, Kierra couldn't help but think about her first disciple. She was weak against these kinds of things.

''...Well, lead the way.''
