Cultivation Through Artifacts

The place in front of Moon Sect fell into complete silence to the point where even a pin drop could have been heard if one would happen to fall onto the ground.

Whether it was the Elders, Senior Lin, or the Night Crawlers, at this very moment all of them stared at the sole individual in front of them with tightly closed mouths and stupefied expressions.

However, the silence was only short-lived for a few seconds before King Zell began to laugh wildly, attracting all the attention onto him at once.

"HAHAHAHA!! HAHAHA!" among thunderous laughs like someone who lost all screws in their heads, King Zell covered his face with his palm and showed a crazed smile before parting his fingers, revealing a menacing eye that held an immense amount of killing intent.

"Dad, he is..." Lirit wished to say something when she saw Khal's figure but was abruptly stopped by King Zell with a raised hand which made her small lips twitch scarcely.

"I know, and I can't lie but feel amused." as King Zell said those words he never even once took his eyes off Khal's figure and even evaluated his figure from to bottom as if he wished to see through him.

"Human, what is your name?" 

Khal crossed his arms casually at that question and showed a cold smile, "Why would I even tell my name to a corpse? It makes no sense at all."

"THE AUDACITY!!" a Night Crawler clad in black armor took a step forward from behind King Zell and bared its white teeth at Khal as if he wished to tear out a chunk of flesh from Khal's body.

"Who do you, a lowly human with a little bit greater strength than the rest of your pathetic race, think you are? Know your place tr-"

Swish!

Thud!

"Eh?" feeling a slight piercing pain in his right shoulder after a sound akin to something heavy falling onto the ground, the creature widened his eyes and subconsciously shifted his gaze at his right.

"M-My arm! It fell off! Argh!" clutching the spot where his right arm should have been attached, the creature turned pale from fear and watched as blood gushed out of his wound like a river fall from a den, filling the air with the smell of iron!

"So annoying," Khal muttered coldly under his breath and without a second thought waved his hand which now held Moonshadow once again.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

In just under a few blinks, the creature's body was torn to shreds, leaving on its spot nothing but shredded organs, bones, and flesh!

"What?" Senior Lin and the Elders next to her seemed dumbstruck after witnessing the sight, and couldn't help but shudder unwittingly and swallow nervously as their gazes were simultaneously glued onto the weapon in Khal's hand.

'That weapon... It's a Spiritual Weapon, but... Isn't he only a Body Temperer? How can he use it that great where not even a Peak Limit Breaker can react in time?' Lirit seemed muddled and gradually realized she must have underestimated the human boy in front of her.

If it were her who would have been attacked by that assault just now... she was sure she would have died without having the chance to scream up with pain!

Even King Zell seemed to realize this and turn grim, as the only person around who saw what just happened was him and maybe Senior Lin too. As for why he did not help his subordinate when he had the ability to do so... Well, he just simply wished to see the strength of the human in front of him, that is all.

But now that he saw his strongest attack, he was perfectly aware of his limits thus showed a vermin-like smile and raised his feet to take a step forward. However, just as he was about to do so, Khal's indifferent voice appeared in the air which made his feet freeze in the air.

"If you take even a step forward, I promise you will end up just like how your dog did."

'...'

Once again, the whole place fell silent but soon King Zell's eyes narrowed dangerously and said, "Your arrogance truly knows no limits, human brat. Do you really think because you have just killed one of my men with the help of a Spiritual Weapon, you can threaten me?"

BAM!

A powerful aura broke out of King Zell's body the moment he said those words, which immediately appeared and pressed down on Khal's body, seemingly in a drive to crush his body in its whole!

Crack!

"Haha! Not so cocky now, are w-, huh?" King Zell wished to mock Khal as he imagined his figure getting mashed under his presence, but who would have thought that his imagination didn't even come true and instead the human appeared right in front of him!

"You are really a fool to think I will just stand still and wait for you to take your chance on me," Khal said calmly and without allowing King Zell to snap out of his daze he swung his fist while also activating his Bloodshed Touch and pushing half of his Body Essence into his arm the very same time!

BOOOM!

"DAD!" Lirit watched with horror as his father's figure was sent to fly through the air and crashed into a huge boulder while also destroying several trees in his way, but soon her pupils shrunk into the size of a needle as a cold breath akin to the reaper's appeared on her left ear.

"Just where do you think you are looking at, woman?"

"Huh?" Lirit wished to turn around to defend herself, but unfortunately, she was late by a heartbeat.

SLAP!

With a loud slap that could be heard even several even miles away, Khal watched as Lirit's figure was slapped flying into the far distance where she crashed into a small pond with a great 'splash!' sound, filling the air with thick crystal clear droplets of water in great numbers!

"Phew... I feel somewhat better now. For some reason, their faces irritated my nerves." Khal sighed deeply and slowly shifted his gaze at the rest of the creatures in front of him, looking at them with a nonchalant look.

"?!"

All the creatures there seemed to see their past memories of their lives in a flash when Khal turned to look at them, as all of their eyes lost their previous firmness while their faces turned ashen, some even taking several steps back with shaking bodies out of sheer fear!

Just now, a human who should be weak and beg for their mercy just now punched their leader right in the face and sent him flying while doing the same with the sole princess with a slap!

In their eyes, Khal was no longer a human but a horrendous creature disguised in human skin!

However, just as they thought they will be the next in line, a cold laugh emerged behind their backs together with a great explosion.

"Now you have done it, human! I will make sure to break all of your bones in your body and feed your shredded flesh to my dogs!"

BAM!

In a blink, King Zell's figure emerged just a meter away from Khal, his face filled with unsurpassable anger and killing intent!

"Die!" King Zell hissed coldly and with all of his strength that made all of his muscles bulge terrifyingly, he threw out a punch at Khal's face in the exact same manner as Khal did a few moments ago!
