67 Tyrannical

"seeking death!" swift sword shout in anger then he throw sword shape energy at Lucis with swift movement.

Everyone can feel the pressure when the sword forming. They smirk looking at Lucis sure that he's gonna split into two part. One less person they have to deal with.

"Master!" Suyi shout trying to cover for Lucis but unexpectedly, the shield not only blocking anything from outside, it also blocking everything from inside.

Suyi panicked as she banging her fist on the purple shield that trapping her inside.

"Hm!" Lucis stop laughing and look at Suyi while his hand casually slapping the incoming sword energy deflecting it to the other side.

The young man that smirking as he float beside the boat suddenly panicked as the sword energy now aiming at him. fortunately, the sword energy just brushed past his hips.

"Bluat!" Muzin shout. Random word coming from his mouth as he's shocked by what Lucis did. he's sure that if he's the one that taking that attack, it'll cost him a couple magic weapon and some minor injury.

"what?" Lucis asked Suyi casually didn't even bother glancing at mister swift sword and everything around him that looking at him with eyes almost popped out of their socket.

"what.. how?" Shuzan asked, still struggling with the pressure on his body.

Even Mr swift sword frown, he's scan Lucis again and again and he's sure Lucis only have around 70 to 90 strand of energy in him but that energy he use earlier when he deflect his attack is more than 700. How is that possible?

"old man, who are you?" After a long paused, Mr swift sword asked with a cold voice and his eyes like a dagger glaring at Lucis. To be honest, Lucis look younger than him but since he have long beard and moustache, maybe he just retain his youth like him.

"okay, enough playing around." Lucis said then the pressure on the boat instantly disappeared and everyone surrounding the boat suddenly feel like a ton of pressure pushing on them from all directions.

Mr swift sword felt the pressure but his aura still can easily deal with it.

"puny trick!" Mr swift sword scoffed. then suddenly, his entire body enveloped by a cyan aura that look like sword shape.

"Look Suyi, this is how low grade villain look like. It's just a wannabe from some alley trying to look tough in front of us. Tsk tsk tsk." Lucis shake his head and stroke his beard feeling like kids these day getting out of hand.

Swift sword feels like coughing up a blood hearing what Lucis said. Never in his life he's been looked down like this. Everything went according his plan since earlier. He was playing around with Lucis and his gang like a toy in his palm but out if his expectations, this old man actually hiding his cultivation from him. He feel humiliated like someone spit on his face than slap him in front of the crowd.

"you.." Swift Sword eyes suddenly glowing cyan "Tell me your name and I might leave your corpse intact!" Mr swift sword shout. The tree below them shaking and the stone from the cliff fall down. It's like his voice causing an earthquakes.

Lucis look around with and shocked greatly by Mr swift sword shockwave. He suddenly have some respect toward this sword dude.

"we can do that?!" Lucis surprised looking at how his simple voice did that massive damage. Luckily, he cover the boat with his aura or the boat would shattered.

The people surrounding the boat didn't have enough attention to spare to see Mr swift sword action since they're struggling with the pressure Lucis put on them but the people on board saw what happened and shocked, especially Suyi and Nanji, it's like they're seeing god coming down from heaven.

"ehem." Lucis clear his throat and slowly floating up above the boat with his hand behind his back and head high up with the wise sage pose.

"NOOBS!"

Lucis shout and amplified his power in his voice and aura. The tree in the group fall like it's getting hit by tsunami, the mountain top around them shattered like it's been slammed by meteor and the sky instantly darkening.

Even Mr swift sword almost feel from the sky getting hit by the massive power wave. His ear, eyes and nose bleed and his clothes instantly ruined almost naked.

The people surrounding the boat have the worse. Some simply just exploded on the spot while the rest completely lose all their sense and fall to the ground like a pebbles.

"holy crab! I didn't mean to do that!" Lucis put his hand on his mouth surprised my the exploding human. This time though, he no longer feel nausea but the sight still shocked him. He completely didn't expect something like this could happen.

Lucis turn his head and look at the boat then quickly let out a long sigh. The boat completely intact and doesn't seems like it's been hit by his voice.

Lucis quickly land in the boat and examine everyone especially Suyi, she's way noob at energy control compare to the newbie Nanji.

"everyone okay. Good, good.." Lucis rub his beard and resume his wise sage pose.

"what?! what's happened?!" Muzin shout at Lucis. his ear is ringing with "noobs" sound.

"it's nothing." Lucis put his hand behind his back and smirk already forgotten about Mr swift sword.

"what did you say?!" Even with Lucis powerful aura covering them, the voice Lucis release is just way too powerful for the unprepared.

Shuzan tap Muzin shoulder. "circulate your energy in your eardrum." he said. He already fix his ear, his is clearly not his first time getting hit by something like this. Though it still caught him by surprised.

"Again, say it louder!!" Muzin literally shout just next to Shuzan ear.

When Lucis heard what Shuzan said, he quickly pour his energy to Suyi fixing her ear.

Shuzan tap Muzin shoulder and fix his ear for him then he help Nanji.

"what happened?" Suyi asked. She didn't saw Lucis earlier since it's blocked by the roof. She just suddenly feel a loud soundkwave that almost send her unconscious.

"you didn't see it?" Lucis stunned and the disappointed in his face is so clear. That was the best moment he ever have in his life. How is he gonna brag about it effectively if Suyi didn't see it herself.

"Should I do it again?." Lucis smile excitedly. Then he suddenly realized that more than half of his energy has been used up.

"where's swift sword?" Shuzan look up then look around but there's no sign of Mr swift sword.

"Damn! I just remember about him." Lucis slap his thigh then he expand his devine sense to the maximum. He can easily cover ten kilometer surrounding him with his current mental strength.

After a couple minutes, Lucis suddenly shake his head dejectedly. "he got away." Lucis frown with regret. He really want to kill him. Leaving him alive is inviting trouble, he already have elder wicked in his worry list and he doesn't want another.

"he's an acting elder from the SwordShadow clan." Shuzan said with worried face. Nanji especially stunned when he heard this. SwordShadow clan is more powerful than the clan he joined before and this clan have a long and rich history compare to the giant super clan these day.

"now we have and entire clan as an enemy." Muzin said adding salt to the wound. Nanji shocked expression turn grave. He just join this gang and now they already have scary enemy.

Lucis stroke his beard and fall deep in his own though.

Muzin stare at Lucis for a long time and start to amazed at himself for the fact that he still alive after he insult Lucis couple of time and even shout at his face. Then he let out a long sigh feeling glad that Lucis actually really good towards him and Shuzan.

"Should we turn back?" Nanji asked. He's pretty clear how dangerous it is having a whole clan as an enemy. In fact, he even ready to enter seclusion for a couple dozen of years.

"Not only he is an acting elder in SwordShadow clan, he also have pretty good relationship with RedMoon clan. I never personally fought with him but I always heard of his tale among my friend. He as notorious as the BlueCloud Clan Elder Jarou, that's why the clan still survive till this day." Shuzan said while stroking his white beard further frightened his disciple.

"i have a question." Lucis said as his hand suddenly stop stroking his beard.

Everyone turn serious and look at Lucis. He's the expert among them so his words would determine their next action.

"who are these silly name short Shadow clan or whatever?" Lucis look at Muzin the Wikipedia with serious face. Short shadow sounds like their thing down there is short. isn't that insulting themselves by naming their clan like that? He feel like his skill 'Shadow dash' name has been stained by having some same word in it. He even start considering to change his skill name after this.

Everyone stunned and shocked staring at Lucis.

Suyi put her palm on her face then shake her head. Even Nanji cough twice after hearing Lucis question.

"it's sword. Sword Shadow clan." Muzin said looking at Lucis feeling incredulous.

"it's a small clan that occupied the sword mountain near the Yugai town." Suyi explained with a frown. She was so scared just then but Lucis usual stupid personality quickly wipe away her anxiety.

Shuzan and Muzin nod at Suyi praising her fer her knowledge. It seem she more knowledgeable than Lucis even though she never left DragonFort Village. Even Nanji agreed and have the same though as elder Shuzan.

"alright. It seems Suyi is more smarter than me now." Lucis smile and rub his hand on Suyi head feeling proud like his daughter has grown up.

Just as Muzin want to say something, Lucis raise his hand with a smile.

"we only need to worry about our journey there, they won't be able to catch us after we arrived."

Shuzan and Muzin suddenly remembered how Lucis brought them to the village. It seems that they can travel back without anyone noticing them.

Lucis read the duo expression and smile. 'They understand quickly what I meant.'

He's so confident against the sword swift earlier because he know that he have more energy than him and his foundation is so powerful compare to him that make him think Mr swift sword is actually just a small fry. Even Shuzan actually almost have the same amount of energy with swift sword. Although Shuzan energy is not as flexible and sharp because the lack of core, in term of fighting power, they should be equal.

If a fight really happened between Shuzan and Mr swift sword, technique would determine the winner instead of their stage of cultivation. Sadly, Shuzan was just so coward and diffident which make him lose before they even fight.
