235 Returning to the Capital (2/2)
”It is a place where every young man and woman from the continent are sent to improve their strength and become experts. The leader of that place is the one at fault for the mistake back then. He should never dream of having an easy time.”
Having said this, Xue Wei nodded to Bai Tianyi and the others before turning around and flying away.
Many were breathing out in relief when they saw he vanished, but moments after this relief turned to worry as the rest of the experts remained where they were in the air
Some got ready to escape, knowing that they had no option than to let their heads fall on the chopping block once Xue Wei returns and descends upon them.
They should definitely try to flee as fast as they could. While this was happening, Xue Wei flew towards the Genius Camp.
The trip to the Genius Camp was rather short. It was located almost right outside the capital, and looking at it brought memories back to Xue Wei of the year he had spent there. Many things had happened in the time he had lived there, but it was also the beginning of the disaster that later struck him.
He hovered in the air above the camp, looking down on a lot of youngsters who were passing by. Some noticed him and stopped curiously. Soon, a commotion broke out in the camp as all of them curiously looked up at him in the air.
Was he a Primordial Beast Hunter who had come to their Genius Camp for some reason? To be able to hang in the air like that meant he was at least a Sky Warrior.
”Have the commander of the Genius Camp come out to see me,” Xue Wei said, his Qi-enhanced voice reaching every part of the camp.
The youngsters were shocked. They had never thought of using their Qi in this way.
The commander had heard the call as well. He exited his tent in a rage and flew into the air. This commander was a Heavenly Warrior, and as a result he did not fear anyone in the Heping Kingdom.
He never bothered to check Xue Wei's cultivation base. When he saw his face, the commander turned pale because he recognized the other right away, but he did not flee. He was still completely certain of his own strength.
”You!” he called out with furious voice. ”You beast, how dare you show up here?!”
The man did not infuse Qi into his voice, but he was yelling out loud, so those close by could still hear him.
”I have come to settle our scores from back then,” Xue Wei said casually while looking at the angry man who was pointing at him.
”Crimson Devil, don't think that showing up here means you can win, that I don't have a way to deal with you!” The commander was filled with hatred and anger. He hated beasts to the core, and from the very beginning, he had been certain that Xue Wei was, in fact, a beast.
Xue Wei just smiled slightly as he kept hovering in the air. He said nothing, but murderous killing intent started to seep out from his body and his eyes had turned as cold as ice.
The commander was a war veteran. He had been in so many life and death struggles against the beasts that he had lost count, and he could sense the sudden danger that exploded from Xue Wei.
He did not retreat. Instead, he accelerated towards Xue Wei, still feeling that he was much stronger than this young man. He had lived for much longer, and he was recognized as a genius. He refused to believe that this young man had overtaken him, and frankly the possibility of that happening had never crossed his mind.
Seeing the man rush at him, Xue Wei did not feel any pleasure. He did not feel excited at the idea of killing him, but the man had to die!
Stretching out his arm, he prepared to welcome the charging commander. As they reached each other, a boom sounded out. A shockwave erupted from the place where their hands connected, but the expression on everyone's faces, except Xue Wei's, twisted.
Up in the air, Xue Wei had stopped him with a single hand that had grasped his fist. A cracking sound came out as the fingers of the hand which had grabbed the fist started to clamp inward.
Xue Wei shook his head. He felt empty right now, even as he was about to begin his revenge. Melancholy struck him and a part of him started to reflect on everything. Nothing would have happened if he had not used the draconic arms back then.
Lan had warned him about it, but he still got caught up in his own excitement and used the transformation like an idiot. Still, that did not free those who were directly involved in Tie Haolong's death of their guilt.
After crushing the commander's hand, Xue Wei had lost all desire to mess with him as he had initially planned.
Inner Might: Qi Sword Style!
A sword quickly cut through the neck of the commander, separating his head from the rest of the body.
It only lasted for a moment, but the execution was so fast that no one could have seen it coming. The youngsters of the Genius Camp below grew fearful. Their eyes were filled with dread. Were they going to be slaughtered now?
