Chapter 501 - Funny

"I guess I'ma just gouge out those eyes of yours so you never dare stare at anyone like that!" Grinding his teeth and pressing his lips together, Gander voiced helplessly. That was his vain attempt at trying to convince both himself and Virus that he had not been afraid.

"But before we get there," In the meantime, turning toward the other disciple in the corner, he signaled him to attack Virus, "let me explain to you why you're going to turn into a cripple today. Go, beat the c.r.a.p out of him at the bare minimum, I want two of his limbs gone."

In the meantime, having received his orders, without delay, the other disciple charged at Virus.

But Virus' profile remained as unreadable as ever until the disciple was just about to land a punch on his face. It was at that point when Virus triggered the first form.

'Unnamed Virus Technique, First Form Impulse!'

Having judged the cultivator to be slightly weaker than Cray, Virus activated the first form. His purpose was to test the waters first.

Of course, since Virus' cultivation was an entire level lower while going against Cray, not only was he compelled to use both of his forms at the time, he also had to reveal the complementary form of his attack techniques as well.

Right now, however, after having successfully broken through to the ninth level of Liberation, Virus wished to know whether the first form of his movement technique would suffice in dealing with the opponent in front of him. His aim was to calculate the extent of his growth after the breakthrough.

Thus, at his urge, scarcely visible arcs of electricity came to life within his physique while one chain of limit was shattered apart.

Subsequently, right when the punch was about to touch his face skin, Virus' figure vanished abruptly!

"Wha?" Instantly dumbfounded, the disciple gazed around, albeit, he was incapable of finding a single trace of Virus.

That was until a cleaving palm connected to the back of his neck, impelling the cultivator to faint at once!

Surprisingly, the disciple had not realized Virus was standing behind him up to the moment of going unconscious.

Raising his palm, however, after gazing at it for a while, an honest opinion left Virus' mouth, "Too inefficient."

What Virus was connoting by those two words was the fact that since the first form used five liberated pathways alone, now that he had access to eight routes of releasing the energy, it was absolutely ineffective in exhibiting the true extent of his level of cultivation.

True, due to the increment in the overall level of his energy after the breakthrough, the first form had gotten stronger than before, however, during the entire utilization of the technique, three of his liberated meridians were left dormant and futile, which meant that much of his energy had gone to waste.

Regardless, now that the first opponent had pa.s.sed out, Virus' pupils were fixed on the second culprit.

The reason why he only made the previous guy faint and avoided actually killing the man was that if he did indeed eliminate him right here in the middle of the city, the Poison Deity clan that was most likely actively searching for any excuses was bound to officially persecute him that way.

Therefore, since he had much bigger plans and goals to achieve in the city, Virus was dead set on controlling and restraining his actions for now.

"Oh? You were able to defeat him that easily? Well, guess it's because he's 'that' useless." Looking at the pa.s.sed-out man in contempt and derision, Gander announced.

"You were the one who did that to Luna, right?" Finally opening his mouth for the first time, Virus interrogated.

Frankly speaking, Virus did not care about the unconscious cultivator since the main culprit behind the injury of Luna was most likely Gander himself.

"So what? What are you going to do about it?" With his chest puffed out as if he was nothing but proud of what he had done, Gander provoked.

"You're trying to incite me into making the first move, the first strike, aren't you?" Having long seen through Gander's little silly trick, Virus smirked at the man in disdain.

"Your purpose is to have a solid justification for our battle so later on you can defend yourself and say the one that had initially a.s.saulted you first was me and that your only sin was to defend yourself which accidentally led to my death." Elaborating up to this point, Virus also added, "You are solely after an excuse to kill me, if you wanted to just beat me up and teach me a lesson, you would have acted already."

Listening to Virus, a frown crept over Gander's face. Indeed, precisely as Virus was stating, provoking Virus into attacking him was Gander's plan from the very beginning.

In fact, that had been the sole reason why he had gone so far as to cut off both of Luna's legs, a cruel scheme to incur Virus' wrath which was going to justify his following action of murdering Virus.

In his mind, so far, Gander had been deliberating that in case he succeeded in his endeavor, the clan elders may even recognize him as a hero of some kind that had brought out great merit to the clan.

However, now that Virus had seen through his game of conspiracy and deception, he was confident the chance of killing him today was gone.

"Tch, you lucky motherf.u.c.ker, so you figured it out I presume you have some brains after all. What a pity, I reckon you won't be taking the initiative then. And here I was-"

Alas, before Gander could even finish his sentence, a vicious grin crept over Virus' countenance out of nowhere while a line transmitted through his brain at lightning pace.

'Unnamed Virus Technique, Third Form Reinforced Impulse!'

Simultaneously, intense electricity covered his flesh and blood before he was upon the dumbfounded and completely off-guard Gander as he sent a heavy punch right at his face.

"Wai-"

WHAM!

"Gah!" A few of Gander's teeth were shattered apart while his figure was sent flying away as it hit the wall and left a deep human-size hole inside it.

Bam!

"It's funny how you are so confident about being able to kill me off as long as I make the first move well, here we go, I attacked you first, let's see just how you plan on eliminating me."
