Chapter 735: Core Disciple (2/2)

Learning from mistakes?

What, so everyone can just try to stage an assassination on Gravis, and he had to let them go!?

Repayment with kindness?

That worked for some beings, but not for these kinds of people. This guy would probably just go to his superior and tell lies about Gravis to protect his flimsy reputation.

Yet, in Gravis' mind, he hated this Core Disciple even more than his previous opponent. At least the last one was honest with his intentions. It was a normal fight, something that happened all the time.

But this guy was talking grandly about kindness and twisted the facts to unbelievable degrees. Suddenly, Gravis was the aggressor, and Gravis was in the wrong by defending himself against someone trying to kill him.

”I'm not your junior brother, and I won't join your Sect,” Gravis said. ”It's obviously not the Sect for me.”

Gravis glanced at the ground to Roger. Roger was different from this Core Disciple, and Gravis could feel that difference clearly. If everyone in the Punishment Cleaver Sect were like Roger, Gravis would be more than happy to join.

Yet, Roger was only a guard while this guy was a Core Disciple. Roger was a mask and representation, but this Core Disciple showed the true face of the Sect.

And that face showed ”individual sacrifice for the greater good”.

The Core Disciple's body shook in rage as he glared at Gravis. This guy looked just about ready to explode.

Gravis only looked back with narrowed eyes.

This guy was powerful, and he definitely wasn't one of the weaker Mid Major Circulation Immortals. There was a 90% chance that Gravis would die in such a fight, but that wouldn't be the first time.

But on the other hand, one had to choose one's fights carefully. Going into a fight with a 50% chance of victory was excellent tempering but going into a fight with a 10% chance of victory was far too risky. Gravis would only want to enter such a fight when he had no other choice.

After some seconds, the Core Disciple seemingly calmed down and sighed.

”Junior brother, you are obviously talking out of a very emotiona-”

”Don't! Call! Me! Junior! Brother!” Gravis seethed slowly and powerfully, his rage and disgust very evident in his voice. He wouldn't want to enter this fight, but he also wouldn't lick this guy's boots.

The Core Disciple felt Gravis' rage and disgust and became angry himself. How dare this Early Minor Circulation Immortal feel disgusted towards him!? Everyone had to be respectful in front of him! No one talked like this in front of him!

Why had the Core Disciple wanted to stop Gravis earlier?

Because of money.

If Gravis killed an Early Major Circulation Immortal, the Burial Ground Sect would want reparations from the Punishment Cleaver Sect. Such an Immortal was worth a ton of money, and for the good of the Sect, he couldn't possibly accept such a cost.

Yet, he also really really needed this new Ascender. This Ascender was definitely worth more than some Early Major Circulation Immortal!

Sadly, the Core Disciple was too greedy and wanted both. He didn't want to pay for Gravis' deeds, but he also wanted Gravis. That was why he still called Gravis his junior brother. One of the two options had already flown out of the window, and he couldn't lose the other one too.

”Very well,” the Core Disciple said as he crossed his arms. ”I will take you back to the Sect so that you can calm down. You will thank me in the future.”

WHOOOM!

Immediately, the Core Disciple felt a powerful hit in his Spirit.

Gravis had activated his Will-Aura, the Minor Law of Death, the Law of Major Suppression, and the Law of Control.

”No,” Gravis said slowly.

Meanwhile, the guards on the ground felt like the world had stopped. They weren't the target of the Will-Aura, but they could feel its fluctuations from a distance.

What was this Will-Aura!?

How was it possible that a Will-Aura could be so incredibly powerful!?

The Core Disciple was also shocked, but he quickly narrowed his eyes and activated his own Will-Aura.

WHOOOM!

Gravis' Will-Aura was pushed back, and Gravis felt suppressed. The level difference was just far too great!

Right now, Gravis was suppressed by 20%, even though he had used everything he had on his Will-Aura!

'Doesn't matter,' Gravis thought. 'My Avatar of Freedom ignores even Will-Auras.'

Gravis glared into the Core Disciple's eyes.

”I will not join your Sect!”
