Strongest Tree 47 Chapter 46
After replenishing all the energy he used Kence walk back to where he left his teammates. He didn't dare fly again for the fear that someone would see and follow him secretlyWhen he returned he saw the four fidgeting, clearly they were worrying about him. This filled his heart with warmthWhen the three saw Kence they immediately run to him and check for any possible injuries he sustained"How is it Lord?" Seeing that Kence didn't have any injury all of them were relievedKence sigh and he took a deep breath and said "not good" while shaking his headKence took a sit first before explaining all the things that happened to him in the cityThe three were immediately enrage when they hear the whole story"What an ambitious man!" King gritted his teeth in anger. He really wanted to meet that so called Emperor and teach him a lesson. Too bad, he doesn't have the ability to"Don't worry Master, we will become stronger and give that bad man a lesson!" Seeing the childish look of Calter br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence the atmosphere slightly become better"Sigh. Too bad, we won't have access to the resources and information in that city"Their expression become gloomy, they took more than month to travel but when they finally reached their destination they can only look at it from afarThey were completely looking forward to the fruits of research that the scientist had like the Blood Serum but they were basically blacklisted in the cityThe other big cities on the other hand was too far from them. Even they can't accurately guess the time they will consumeAlso, travelling will took a lot of their time that they instead should use in cultivation. This will make it harder for them to advance in Rank which will endanger their lifeWoosh!Four knives silently flew in the air towards Kence and the others. When Kence finally noticed the knives it was already so close to them that they can't dodge it"Watch out!" Kence's shout resounded in the area. He turned his face into wood while hastily waving his hand at the same timeAs he doesn't have enough time Kence was only able to make a few leaves. He use his leaves to intercept the knives coming to his teamHowever, as the number of leaves are insufficient it only managed to slow down and slightly alter the knives' trajectoryThankfully for King, Cesar and Calter the time that Kence bought to them was enough"[Magic Skill: Harden!]" King activated his skill as fast as he can and to make his skill powerful enough to protect him from any injury he only use his skill on his faceThe knife glowing with energy collided on his face and some sparks flew in the air. Thankfully, Kence's magical leaves already lessened the power of these knives and the defense of King's face was enough to fully block itCalter on the other hand willed the energy from the surrounding to stop the knife. The knife was met with an invisible wall that it cannot break and when it lost all of its power it fell on the ground
With just a single thought Cesar activated one of the Runes he engraved to his own body. The Rune lit up and a green translucent barrier was erected on his whole body. The barrier was thin and looks like another layer of Cesar's skin but the amount of energy in this barrier was not to be trifled withThis was the new Rune that Cesar made after spending more than a month while also applying the knowledge he conprehended from the mind crystalIvy as she was the weakest of them all and the one who doesn't have much fighting experience was not as fortunate like them. She doesn't battle much, this made her reflexes inferior to the other Mystics and she can only watch helplessly as the knife was coming on her wayFortunately, Kence used his leaves to alter the knife's trajectory and it only hit her on the shoulder"Ahh!" Ivy cried out in pain while she look at her bleeding shoulder. Tears fell down from her eyes while her whole body trembled in fear as she almost lose her lifeSeeing the blood on Ivy's shoulder, Kence's vision darkened With his abilities how the h.e.l.l did not he not notice those knives until it was too late and why he didn't notice that someone was planning to kill themKence took the knife that pierced his face that he transformed into wood and look at it. A small rune drawn using blood can be seen on its handleEven though Kence was already holding the knife if he didn't focus his attention to it he can't even sense the knife. To think that a Rune can make a weapon lost its auraTen people came out and surrounded their group while more people stood at the back of those ten people. Looking at the ten people at the front Kence was sure that they are all Mystics with the stronger ones being at the mid-stage while the weaker ones are in the early-stageThe people at the back on the other hand although not a Mystic but all of them are in the peak of Warrior RankLooking at their clothes with a serpent wrapped in a castle Kence was sure that they are the Emperor's subordinates. He also noticed a Rune engrave in their clothes and just like the knife he almost can't perceive the aura of these peopleAlthough he can sense any living creatures nearby but that was only limited to those who didn't bother hiding their aura. But these people are equipped with Runes that hide their auras making Kence to be unable to sense them"Big sister Ivy, are you okay?" Calter asked worriedly before getting a red fruit and giving it to IvyIvy didn't react as her whole body was still trembling from here. Calter tip toed and patted Ivy's head while looking at her eyes "Don't be afraid, we are here" the look at Calter's eyes made Ivy felt some comfort and she took the red fruit on her hand"Big sister Ivy this will be painful but bear with it okay?" Calter hold the knife embedded on the young girl's shoulder and pulled it out. Ivy hissed in pain and tears gathered around her eyes again because of the pain"Please eat the red fruit to heal your injury. I promised you they will face consequences for this" Calter's last sentence were filled with coldnessHe was usually a kid with good temperant. He normally behave well and was like an angel but the trauma that he got when some bad guy killed her mother made him a bit obsess at keeping the people he considered family safeHis angelic self will gain a hint coldness. His mind will be filled with the thought of fighting anyone who hurt those people he treasured even if it means killing them. He doesn't want what happened to his mother be repeated to his new familyEven the white calming energy inside him that let him use angelic magic would be ineffective at this time to calm him. Other people said that once a good person was angered they will do things that you won't ever think they can"Kence, you are arrested for trying to harm the Purple Gu Serpent Emperor. Surrender now or prepare to die with your companions" one of the Cultivators said in an oppressive tone while all the Supernaturals let out their restrained aura to pressure Kence"You hurt my family yet you are spouting these bulls.h.i.ts HAHAHA!" Kence laugh coldly before he look at the Supernaturals around menacingly"Die?" Calter said. Although his face appeared calm but judging from his chaotic aura no one will believe that he is calmCalter was triggered at the Cultivator's words. What he dislike the most was the thought of his family dyingKence was also in the same situation, these three people are the only ones aside from his parents that filled his heart with warmth and even his aura was agitated to the extremeIt was like two fierce dragons were on brink of causing havoc The Mystics and normal Supernaturals was shock at these two. Even the combined aura of almost fifty high leveled Supernaturals was not enough to pressure the two. On the other hand these two's aura actually managed to suppress theirs and a sense of suffocating fear emerged on their hearts"H-how can this be?" The Cultivator was shock and can't believe what is happening"[Innate Skill: Nature's Battle Armor]""[Angelic Magic: Holy Tree of Dilligence Transformation]"The two's calm voice resounded everywhere. Although their voices are restrained but one can feel the deep anger behind those calm wordsKence's hands and feet glowed with green light before revealing an armor made from wood. On Kence's palm two blocks of wood came out before it took the shape of swordAs soon as the sword was formed it was immediately covered with a thin but dense layer of energy while leaves flew around the sword's bladeCalter on the other hand let out his seedling shape soul and feed it with his white energy causing it to grew into a huge three phantom that look's like Kence's tree bodyThe Tree Phantom dissipated into multiple specks of light that covered Calter's whole body. His hair turned into a leaf life thing aside that its color was pure white. Two angelic wings grew on his back while his eyes turned into the combination of green and white colorCalter's forelimbs transformed into a humanoid shape wood while a white and green hoodless cloak covered his body and some vine like things coiled around his armWoosh!A trail of wind appeared and the next thing that the people around knew was that Kence was already in front of the Cultivator and pierce his heart with his sword. However, it was not just sword that pierce the Cultivator's heart but a few centimeters thick green vine also pierce the unlucky cultivator's heart. This was too overkill!!All eyes landed on Calter, the vines wrapped on his hand extended up to the Cultivator's body and pierced his chestThese two move and kill the Cultivator first because his words provoke them and touch their reverse scaleEven King, Cesar and Ivy was shock at how fierce the two areAlthough King and Cesar were also angered greatly and they vowed to kill the Supernaturals that ambushed them but Kence's and Calter's decisive act also caught them off guardKing was not too worried about Kence as he knew that Kence was a former a.s.sa.s.sin. He was not someone that was too bothered by the concept of killing humans. However, he was worried for CalterAlthough his son still retained his good att.i.tude but the trauma on his heart was too severe and if one touch his sore spot Calter won't hesitate to throw his former goodness to protect his familyThis made King felt that he was too useless as a father. If only he protected his wife this won't happen to his sonBut what happened already happened and he can't change it now. The only thing he can do is to make up for the thing that he cannot do beforeKing transformed his arms into wood with some leaves on it. The root rotated in an abnormal speed and it became a drill with some th.o.r.n.y leaves on it"[Innate Skill: Drill Roots!]" Taking the chance that their enemies were still shock at Kence and Calter's actions King run as fast as he can towards one of the mid-stage Mystic closes to him and use his arm to killThe Mystic was a Rune Master, coincidentally he was the one that made the Rune that conceal their aura causing Ivy to sustain some injuryThis woke up the other Supernaturals, in just a blink of an eye two of their comrades died. Although they felt some fear but it also made them angryAfter all they have so many Supernaturals but they let these three kill two of them
