Chapter 120 - Clash part 1 (1/2)

With the most immediate threat taken care of for now, I can take a look around to assess the situation. With insane energy disturbance in the air, I can easily judge that it couldn't be caused by this ability of mine alone.

My guess is that the sudden infusion of my hostile energy just as she was going to release all that she had in one, overwhelming attack on what was left from my hut, the delicate equilibrium that she kept her energy in got broken and resulted in her own energy ripping her apart!

I guess I understand why people think that cultivation is a struggle against the will of the heavens. It's hard to imagine the highest authority giving such a dangerous gift to humans willingly!

As someone from the earth, I can easily understand why this logic is wrong all the way in its assumptions. Back in my original world, the power of lightning was deemed as a domain of gods, but with enough development and understanding behind it, humanity turned it into one of the most important tools that ever got invented!

With no electricity, there would be no computers, laboratory equipment, complicated calculations… While it was impossible for barehanded people to cast lightning or receive them, with enough tools, one could very well use it to cause the destruction! While our technology back on earth didn't get developed to that point yet, the scientific foundations were in place for a good chunk of time already!

Going back to reality with my mind, I finally spotted another opponents. I guess this expert dashed forward, unable to handle her emotions, excitement or whatever drove her to attack us. Following her in a quite a bit of distance was a small group of people nearing the spiritual cultivation level.

What a stupid move.

If they really judged us to be a threat that required an enriching essence level of expert, what would those small fries amount to? Unless…

As I take a quick look at the spot where Pengu has fallen, I can see that he is slowly trying to get up. While it's not in the best shape, Eve is already kneeling near it and trying to tend its wounds while ignoring the bloody rain falling on her from the skies.

That's my woman! Nothing can faze her!

But there is no time to marvel at her insane reaction time and ability to push everything aside when the situation requires it!
