My crazy Cultivation Path

CHAPTER 143- Fool or Stupid

Monsters.

That was Vito’s thought when he saw the three of them.

Able to perceive the flow of aether as well, he could see the attacks being unleashed.

Yet he himself could not do the same.

Because it required great mastery and an extremely strong will.

Without that, even a rank eight like him—or even a rank nine—would be limited to creating swords of aether.

A pitiful use, considering its potential.

But he didn’t have the luxury to stay.

He had already understood that the one he had freed was not far away.

Looking at Liara, he wondered:

Would he stand a chance against that monster?

He doubted that those two would last much longer either.

Like a dog, he fled, with only one thought in mind: to return to the clan chief.

……

Kurdes launched: Death Serpent.

Hikiri: Judgment of the Heavens.

The two terrifying attacks shot toward Liara.

Anyone else would have been seized by fear or despair

before a combination of attacks that would slice through the ground like butter upon contact.

Unlawfully taken from NovelBin, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

And yet, Liara leapt straight into the attacks,

murmuring: Invisible Thread.

Kurdes, watching Liara rush toward their attacks, thought she had finally accepted death.

At that thought, a smile—then a laugh straight from the heart—burst out.

But it lasted only a brief moment.

When a thread of aether sliced off his left hand and left a thin cut across his throat.

Hikiri tried to retreat so he wouldn’t end up like Kurdes.

But the next instant, a scar formed across the entire lower part of his abdomen… and then the upper.

Both of them collapsed to the ground.

They hadn’t even seen the attack being unleashed.

Boom.

Their two attacks split the wall apart,

yet they were the ones lying on the ground.

Without delay, Kurdes concentrated all the aether he could still use on his slashed throat.

But that left him completely unprotected.

Ten meters away, Liara reappeared.

Not a single wound on her body—her previous injuries already healed.

— You see, Kurdes… letting you believe that your attack would kill me was a delight to my eyes.

You, who no longer showed any emotion…

Now, seeing you on the ground, struggling to survive, is simply exhilarating, Liara declared.

She began to clap her hands.

— But I’ll say this: your previous attack was truly impressive and powerful.

There’s no doubt—if it had hit me, I would have survived…

but only half-alive.

So accept my words… hoho hoho hoho…

You fought magnificently.

But now, it’s time to die.

On the ground, Hikiri was using the wind to keep his organs from spilling out of his body.

But he knew it well—if Liara decided to attack, it would be over for him.

Suddenly, the door began to creak open, alerting the three of them that someone was entering.

At the sight of the newcomer, Hikiri let out a sigh of relief,

but wondered whether Tony had made the right decision by coming here.

With his rank six strength, Liara would only need a few moments to kill him.

What an idiot,

Hikiri thought inwardly.

But Liara began to laugh.

— So what? You got freed and now you think you can challenge me?

When I evaluated your strength, you didn’t even reach rank seven…

And yet here you are.

Your madness truly has no limits.

Suddenly, Tony bowed to Liara and said:

— I hate you…

But thanks to you, I remembered how I used to fight in the beginning,

and how I used to use my insane thoughts.

So allow me…

His gaze grew deeper.

He was killing Liara with his eyes.

His face was tense, as if he were holding something back.

— To make you my training dummy, Tony finished.

— Hahahahahahaha…

Liara’s laughter intensified at Tony’s words.

She couldn’t believe her ears.

— You… you’re not suicidal. You’re just insane.

She spread her arms as if welcoming him

and finished with these words:

— Come, Tony the madman. Show me what you’ve understood.
