The ground was shaking, there was debris floating in the air, and currents of static electricity were sparkling all over the place.
Everyone within a mile of White Crane City was looking at people near them. Their hair was starting to stick up.
If there was a natural indication of what was going on, there were beasts and birds leaving the area at their own discretion.
For those who didn't understand what was going on, some thought a storm or hurricane was coming, intending to stop what they were doing and go home to ride out the storm.
Humph!
"The boy thinks forcefully raising his cultivation will help him with his current problem, haha!"
"You think you can deescalate the situation, boy?"
"Sir, why are you not worried, I can't feel any distress from you?
'Why should I feel nervous from this child? He who hasn't even seen the world or felt the warmth of a woman's body on a cold, dark night."
Not everyone within the City limits of White Crane City could see the rage emanating from the masked man behind Bai Jian, but everyone within the city could feel his overwhelming bloodlust as his killing intent started to build up again.
Even though not everyone in the city knew where it was coming from, they could all tell that someone within the city was ready to start a massacre.
The men standing on top of the tower pavilion were starting to get nervous as more and more time passed.
Bai Jian's cultivation just kept climbing more and more as time went by.
"I'm going to ask one more time. Who are you? Why are you fighting with my clan's city?"
This Elder Bai Zhiyuan's voice rung out with conviction and power.
He then waited even more. There wasn't even a response as he was then baffled by not getting any response from either the young master or any of the masked men behind him.
This Bai Zhiyuan had this disgusting or what could only be described as an ugly grin on his face.
It was almost on the level of what could only be described as a smug look stuck there on his on this man's face, as he floated there above the tower pavilion.
"Enough of your Charades boy,"
Both Bai Zhiyuan and Qiang Shizi made moves at the same time, both practically vanishing at the same time.
Bang!
"Seismic Break!"
"Palm of Light!"
They both collided with the air, just 10 meters from Bai Jian.
"Come on, Elder Zhiyuan, teach this intruder what happens to trespassers."
"The Light of the Crescent Moon!"
"The Strike of the White Moon!"
They went back to back, striking and hitting each other, over and over again.
Their fight was heard all over the city, causing buildings and small explosions to go off every time they collided together.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you enter my Clan's territory!"
"When did it become your territory, Zhiyuan?"
"Why ... How dare you!"
Humph!
"Seismic Push!"
Qiang Shizi had, at this point, started to increase the pace, using more strength, and started pushing harder to close in on Elder Bai Zhiyuan.
"You think being faster gives you an advantage!"
"It's survival of the fittest Zhiyuan!"
"I could say the same thing, sir. It's not always the strongest that prevails!"
Humph!
"You might be stronger than me, but you're starting to tire out after fighting against those members of the Hou Clan and the Huo Sect."
"Rise of lighting!"
"Try this on for size, Zhiyuan!"
"Gale Winds of Destruction!
Bai Zhiyuan was starting to lose out to Qiang Shizi.
His hair was a little out of disarray, and a couple of rips appeared on his white robe.
On the other hand, Qiang Shizi still looked amazing like a prince charming wearing a pure white robe with clouds on it, like it was made out of clouds itself.
Humph!
"You think you won?"
Haha
"Who asked?"
"I'll beat you, silly!
"I don't think you'll get the chance too!"
Swoosh -
"What!"
Bai Jian had practically teleported behind Bai Zhiyuan.
"DIE!"
(Metaphophious, how?)
"White Tiger?"
Bai Jian, at this point, was completely white, and his eyes were glowing.
He was now in a half-unconscious state and his Qi was in Overload state.
Boom!
'How dare you hit me, boy, I'm your elder!"
"Chain of Lighting!"
Boom!
Bai Jian was attacking Elder Zhiyuan more like a beast than like a human right now, striking out left and right like a wild beast.
"There's more to fighting than just being fast and strong, you have no proper stance and are blindly lashing out towards me.
At this point, Bai Jian was causing more damage to his surroundings than to Elder Zhiyuan.
Either by choice or unconsciously, Bai Jian had taken a large stride backward, causing Elder Zhiyuan to pause momentarily and ponder, but then if, on cue, he jumped backward away from Bai Jian.
Jian had taken a deep breath, his chest expanded, he leaned back slightly, threw his head back then lunged forwards a little, as he threw his head forward, veins began to form on his face.
"Everyone cover your ears now!
Mothers covered their children's ears, fathers covered their family, soldiers took a knee and blocked their ears, and cultivators formed a shield around themselves with their Soul Aura or Spirit Qi.
As if to present a moment of clarity of their immediate future, everything on Jade Island and on the east coast of the Huo continent went silent, causing people, animals, cultivators, spirit beasts and other life forms a glimpse of what was to come.
For 3 seconds, the movement, the very existence of sound became obsolete in those almost agonizing and almost torture to everyone and everything, some people thought they went deaf, some things curled up in an almost precognition fashion, to what felt like their demise, and some who were stronger and had an idea was about to unfold felt a chill up their spines and utter fear down to their very own souls in those few quick and nervous seconds.
