Chapter 274: Lightning Stomp (2/2)

”Hang in there buddy,” Griffin said. ”Liz is on her way, she'll help you. You don't want to show her your disappointing side, right?”

Leon couldn't help but smile as he listened to his friend. He could feel a Qi coming their way that was all too familiar. Liz approached him, and without saying a word, carried him. His blood seeped into her clothes, turning her into a crimson maiden, carrying a battle-scarred knight. She retreated with Leon and sent one final look to Griffin, a look of gratitude. Her face was wet with tears.

”Why did you butt in?!” the young man stood up, clutching his swollen cheek. ”I was about to finish him off, and that would have guaranteed me a grandmaster's position in the sect! After all, Most of them are already dead!”

”Why? Because I'm his friend,” Griffin answered. ”And it's too bad I was fighting some of the minions otherwise I would have fought you instead.”

”Don't get cocky just because you got a lucky shot in,” the young man stood up, his black eyes full of fury, and a tinge of fear that had stuck there from the moment he couldn't kill Leon.

He accelerated once again into full speed and disappeared from sight. It was as if he never existed before. Not even the sound of his clothes could be heard.

Griffin closed his eyes and exhaled. Then, as he took in a deep breath through his nose, he twisted his body and clad it in Golden lightning. He squeezed his fist hard against his palm and threw a punch right behind him. The crackle of thunder exploded as his fist made contact with somethinghis enemy.

”How did you find me?!” the young man said as he held his broken nose and looked bewildered.

”It's easy; I fought people faster and stronger than you. Plus, cowardly people tend to attack from the back,” Griffin said as he stared at the young man. ”I could tell you know. You chose Leon because you believed he was the easiest prey.”

Griffin disappeared from the young man's sight, and before the latter could look around, he felt a major force collide with the back of his head, sending him into a spiral of confusion and pain.

”How does it feel, to fight someone stronger than you?”

The young man, once again, felt a great impact in his abdomen as he was struggling to stand up. The impact was powerful enough to lift him into the air.

He plummeted into the ground and struggled to turn and lay on his back. He was down to a tenth of his Qi, as it was consumed from trying to fend off against Griffin's lightning.

Griffin walked in a slow and rhythmic manner. The sound of his leather shoes tapping the ground seemed like a nightmare to the young man, who looked at him in fear.

Griffin stood on top of his enemy and looked down at him. Then, without warning, he stomped on his head, as a great lightning bolt descended from the sky. His enemy was dead.
