Chapter 371 - 371: My successor (1) (1/2)
The next moment all the violent aura surrounding the youth vanished and all the strength bubbling in Blake's body failed him, forcing him to struggle greatly just to stay afloat.
”Krrrrrrrhhhh!”
Blake hissed, already coated with sweat and barely able to sustain his flight technique. His eyes were bloodshot and no matter how much he tried he could not summon his aura.
”What the hell is this?” Blake roared while gasping for air.
”Silence…” Derik frowned getting a bit impatient.
”Leadership qualities are not something you possess little Blake… I have seen you all, watched the five of you grow, and even tutored all five of you in the past…. Do you think I never considered handing over this sect to you? But in the end, you just lack what is needed to become the palace master… Based on strength and accomplishments as well, you, my friend are quite inferior to Blake here, who fought against the empire's strong three hundred thousand armies even with his bronze realm cultivation base… This kid you keep looking down at, saved your life and the life of the other four! So I suggest you show some respect and be grateful!” Derik's aura went wild while saying the last part.
Instantly an invisible force descended on Blake, dragging him off the air, all the way to the ground before slamming him violently. The collision forced some dust to rise and after it had settled down, Blake could be seen on his knees, struggling but he couldn't stand. The murderous intentions in his eyes had faded, replaced with fear!
All his life, he had seen Derik do so many cruel things but none of them has ever been directed towards them so he really couldn't tell how terrifying Derik is until today. His instincts kept screaming at the top of its voice, and at this moment, Blake knew one more mistake would cost him his life.
”He won't hesitate to kill me” Blake muttered in fear.
Meanwhile, Jean, Andrew, Philip, and Dimitris were terrified, they had never seen Derik like this. They too may have not fully accepted Derik's decision in making Blink his successor but they didn't get the chance to voice out their thoughts first. They felt lucky, Blake was the first to act and even know they couldn't even look Derik in the face.
Derik was annoyed!
His aura suppression on Blake doubles, forcing Blake to fall on his face while digging even deeper into the ground.
