A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Slash!

Alex swung his sword and the cultivator's head rolled off the neck to the ground, with blood speedily spouting out of it like a geyser.

Once Alex did this, he used the treasure-wings strapped to his back to shoot towards the other cultivators to slay them too.

One of the other targeted cultivators that Alex had targeted, was still trying to recollect himself from the powerful, air-expelling force that he sent out at them. So, he didn't know Alex arrived at his side with a ruthless smile hung on his lip.

Slash!

Then with a heavy swing of his treasure-sword, the cultivator's head was cleanly cut from the neck which then fell to the ground, with the lifeless, headless body of the cultivator plummeting in the next second after the head to the distant solid earth below them. 

After killing these cultivators, Alex then dashed towards the others who were also disoriented to slay them. 

Slash! 

Slash! 

Slash!... 

Numerous slash sounds began to ring out as Alex viciously swung the treasure-sword in his hand at their heads. He didn't even waste time waiting for them to regain their stabilities from that powerful force that he sent out at them. 

When he was done, in which he was covered in blood making him seem like a blood-loving killer, he lowered himself to the earth, to where one of the headless bodies of the slain cultivators crashed into. 

Then he took the spatial rings and stowed it into his own spatial ring. And like that, he began to move around taking their spatial rings and stowing it away into his. 

When he was done, he cracked the fingers of each hand and then turned his head to look at the other cultivator who he left to go kill the other Sky Lord-stage cultivators that shunned him off. 

After giving a smile to the cultivator who only felt nothing but death, Alex made tribulation-enhanced pyroforce energy to gush out from his hands which then shot like rays of energy towards the headless, dead bodies littered on the ground to impact them. 

Then once they did, the energy rays abruptly turned into furiously howling, quick consuming fire that engulfed the entire bodies that the rays of pyroforce energy were sent at. 

Once these colored flames that produced and radiated an exceedingly hot temperature surfaced, the corpses began to rapidly burn. So, they became ashes in the next instant, then finally into nothing, like they literally vaporized away, since the flames that enveloped them were strongly ravaging flames carrying the essences of Heavenly Tribulation Fire. 

And since the flames were so hot, the ground which the bodies were on, also burned really hard that the flames created craters that were nearly three feet deep before stopping a moment later. But this was because Alex broke off his mental connection to it. So, there was no telling if the flames would continue to burn into the ground if Alex didn't do that.

At the moment, Alex who had already left the bodies as they burned, appeared before the last Sky Lord-stage cultivator who looked at him and began to tremble in terror.

Alex smiled seeing how the cultivator shook in fear and horror because of his presence before him. 

Then he nodded his head. 

This was how he wanted to be feared by his real enemies and potential enemies. Once they see him or hear someone mention his name, they will begin to tremble in great fright. 

"So, you should know what to do without me telling you." He said with a smile in his face. 

However, the smile he produced on his face wasn't soothing or relieving to the cultivator who continued to have his mind and heart warp and contort due to the feeling of immense dread that engulfed and pervaded his entire body, including his soul. 

At this moment, the Sky Lord-stage cultivator's skin had turned sheet-white. Same with his hair which had turned grey from just being in Alex's presence alone.

He then quickly nodded his head in great fear and terror as a response to what Alex mentioned to him.

"Please, forgive me. I beg you. I didn't know that you were this strong, or I wouldn't have made myself your enemy. It's now that I fully understand that I have messed with the wrong person. This won't happen again, ever. Then I will preach of your skills, strength and prowesses to everyone so that your enemies will become lesser, giving you time to grow and develop into someone mighty. Please" He said with begging eyes. While Alex only laughed at him because of his dumb statement.

Haha!

He grinned raucously.

He then said "Actually, I love making enemies. Without enemies who are after my life, how would I be able to grow more in strength and power. Besides, I want more enemies so that I can kill them and take their possessions for myself. Although you low-level enemies of mine don't really have anything that will attract me, I will however use them to run my organization. Haha!" 

He then said further "I believe you should understand what that means. And if you don't, I don't mind explaining. It simply means that your hard-earned wealths and resources will go to the dedicated and contributive members of my establishment." 

Alex mentioned with a delighted grin, telling the pale-skinned cultivator before him all these so that he would feel really bad before dying.

The cultivator surprisingly began to cry, while Alex cackled at the tears flowing down his eyes and streaming down his cheeks.

"Bro, you are only wasting my damn time and yours! Give me what I want this moment." Alex said with a sense of teeming impatience in his tone.

The cultivator sorrowfully nodded his head and removed his spatial ring from his finger. He then handed it to Alex who readily accepted it with a smile appearing in his face.

Alex then said further, while gazing coldly at the cultivator "Then the other thing. Do it!"

The cultivator morosely nodded his head with tears now flowing down his glistening eyes at a faster rate. 

He then tightly grasped with both hands, his treasure-weapon which was a sword, to pierce himself through in the abdomen, precisely at the navel region. But just then, he abruptly sent the sharp tip of the treasure-sword that he was wielding towards Alex's neck to impale him with it. 

The cultivator actually sent the sword towards Alex's neck to probably cut off his head or slit his throat and cause blood to spill out.

But Alex who was always seeing in slow motion, since his sharp eyes were permeated with speedforce energy, had his perception of the velocities of objects around him greatly increase. 

So, he was able to see in slow motion as the sword moved towards his neck to either impale it or cut it. 

And, since he could identify the quality and grade of the treasure-sword which was a firmament-rank treasure-sword that wouldn't really injure him since it wasn't powered, and had a skin that was refined and tempered by Lightning and Fire Tribulation, he allowed the sword to strike his neck, for reasons best known to him.

Bang!

A bang sound surprisingly rang out as the sword's sharp tip struck his neck to impale it and probably penetrate through it to the other side.

Then if one tried to describe the sound that had surfaced, it could be simply explained as the sword's tip striking a thick metallic wall. 

So, this caused the cultivator's eyes to shine with astonishment, before fear replaced the great surprise that had appeared in his eyes.

He couldn't believe that Alex's skin was this tough and durable to be able to resist the ordinary, non-powered strike of a firmament-rank sword that he sent at his neck to lacerate it. Then he realized in the next instant that there was nothing he could do again to escape his cruel fate of death.

He then suddenly pissed on the trousers that he wore, while his legs began to shake terribly because of horror. He could imagine how Alex would brutalize him.

Alex smiled seeing how the cultivator pissed on himself like he were a toddler.

He then said "I saw your sword strike coming at me, but I let it impact me instead of trying to block it. And it's not because I underestimated your killing strike, but because I have quickly analyzed everything about your common-grade treasure-sword, you poor and miserly, stupid cultivator. Then if you ask me why I did that, allowing your sword strike to freely hit me, it was simply because I wanted you to later know that the action that you chose to carry out was nothing but stupid."

He then continued "Well, I guess I have to stop here. But it has been fun talking to you, moron"

Then moving at a speed that the terrified cultivator before him couldn't trace with his eyes, Alex sent his fist towards the cultivator's lower jaw to deliver a heavy uppercut.

Bang!

Then due to the tremendous force that his fist moved with, once the uppercut connected to the lower jaw of the cultivator, his head exploded into mist of blood, with pieces of his brain and tiny fragments of his skull and teeth beginning to drift in the strong current of air that resulted from the fist that Alex sent out.

Once Alex annihilated that cultivator with his rock-shattering uppercut, he prepared to leave where he was.
