Chapter 427 - What's The Big Idea?

Whoosh! Boom!

Blood splattered in mid-air as a long gaping wound appeared at the forehead of the beast. A little deeper and it might have actually killed the demonic beast instead of leaving only an injury. 

Howl!

The Demonic beast cried madly. It had been grievously injured by Long Chen's attack and its eyes immediately turned red and it went into a frenzy!

It's speed suddenly increased by an astonishing amount and it immediately appeared before a disciple, it immediately slammed its paws at the male disciple.

"Boom!"

The disciple was only able to place his flying sword before him but it was barely able to resist as the large paw of the dragon panther slammed into both the flying sword and the disciple, sending him flying like a broken doll.

"Shit! It's enraged, be careful everyone." Long Chen shouted as he changed his hand seals, letting his sword transform into multiple streaks of shadows, slamming repeatedly at the beast.

He didn't think the demonic beast would manage to survive after being hit by his earth rank technique. Which was why he was currently flustered. 

His mental energy was running low and if this continues, they would need to flew but then, non of their speed was faster than the Dragon panther which meant that fleeing would actually let the demonic beast hunt then out one by one.

"Dammit!" Long Chen cursed as another disciple was sent flying, Injured by the demonic beast.

Zhu Shimei eyes flashed as she spoke, at the same time, she withdrew rapidly to the back.

"Lock its movement down." As David and Long Chen heard her words, their eyes shone and they immediately attacked in a frenzy, instantly locking down the beast's movement, without giving it a single chance to move freely.

"Frozen Plane: Ice thorn!"

The heat in the surrounding seem to freeze and the air seem to have frozen itself as the background seem to have been replaced by an icy plane with a tall looking shard of ice sticking out to the skies.

In the next moment, the ice shard fell, turning into a sharp transparent sword as it fell down to the beast.

"Boom!"

The area within a meter radius seem to have tuned to frost as the attack descended. 

Long chen and the others signed in relief as the rank 3 beast had finally been dealt with. The illusion faded and the vicinity was revealed to the disciples.

But their expression changed drastically and their heart dropped as they gazed at the place Zhu Shimei's attack had landed but then, there was nothing at that spot. The attack had missed! 

David was thoroughly impressed by the strength of their attacks. Long Chen and Zhu Shimei had both released earth ranked techniques, allowing him to broaden his horizons.

Earth rank techniques were simply to powerful when they had not even reached the ultimate state of the technique.

But then, David shook his head. Although earth ranked technique was strong, it still seems lacking to him.

The wind immediately seem to have shifted and the team instantly turned back, their faces turning pale immediately. 

The demonic beast turned into multiple steaks of shadows as they slammed into the three of them. 

"Boom! Boom! Clang!"

A circular shaped barrier immediately appeared before Long Chen as he crushed something within his fingers, making the shadow slam into the barrier. The barrier faded slightly but was able to withstand the strength of the rank 3 demonic beast. 

The second shadow was like a phantom as it slammed into Zhu Shimei, but it turned out she was just an afterimage as her true body had been transported ten meters away from that particular spot. 

The third shadow was headed for David and immediately slammed into him, producing a loud metallic sound as it clashed against him. 

But contrary to one's expectation, David wasn't sent flying like expected but instead stood still, as straight as a pole!

The shadow immediately faded and the dragon panther was revealed in the distance, it cur led around the team with its eyes locked on one particular person, looking very wary. 

David tilted it's head as he saw the dragon panther circling around one spot. Even when it had been attacking, and defending, it hadn't once left that place. 

Since David was so perceptive, it was impossible for him to miss something so obvious. His eyes flashed as he gazed at the stone wall behind the dragon panther. 

There seem to be nothing but a wall cliff made of rocks and sand.

David's expression turned indifferent. "There's no rush, I will know after I kill you anyway." he whispered as he started walking towards the dragon panther before him. His hands met together as he began to form numerous hand seals.

Long Chen and Zhu Shimei were shocked and couldn't understand what David was doing. 

"Has he been knocked crazy by the beast?" Zhu Shimei couldn't understand why David was moving closer to the demonic beast instead of fleeing. 

"Has he gone mad?" Long Chen couldn't help but wondered, about to flee with the young lady that as with them. 

David continuously walked closer to the beast. He had seen the power of two Earth rank technique and even seen the trump cards of the prodigies of other academy. Now, it was finally time to end this.

The dragon panther was already familiar with the attacking patterns of the disciples and seen to have figured out that the students would attack once they start forming complicated patterns with their fingers and hands.

"Rooooar!"

The air trembled from the sound waves emitted by the Demonic beast. 

The dragon panther seem to have sensed an extreme threat and it immediately roared casing its body to expand by multiple folds, causing its strength to increase rapidly by almost three times, it's speed was even more shocking as it disappeared from its original position as though riding with the winds as it moved. 

Seeing this, David's eyes widened and his fingers interlocked. 

"Lighting Splice!"

The spectrum of light seem to have being sucked as a single blade raise up to the air. Cloud roiled and the winds wailed! 

"RUMBLE! Crackle! crackle!"

The clouds darkened and then thunder formed, crackling as it flashed with intense magnitude with the flying blade as it's center. The sound was explosive almost as though there was a real thunderstorm within the forest. 

In an instant, a single thunder separated from the group of thunder storm, hearing the air and causing shockwaves as it flew downwards. 

As though in slow motion, it speed through the air with speed even faster than sound. 

"BOOOOOOOOM!"

Lightning flashed through the atmosphere and as it slammed into the beast, causing a severe blinding flash of light, simultaneously affecting their sight. 

By the time the flash of light cleared, the surrounding three meter radius had been reduced to nothing but ashes. Gazing at the spot where the demonic beast had previously being, Long Chen and zhu shimei gasped in shock. 

One attack! 

In just one attack, David had killed a rank 3 beast. It was something the two of them couldn't accept as David's metal strength was only at the late mortal stage whereas their's was at the Perfection mortal stage. 

The head of the dragon panther had been separated from its body, whereas the severed neck had been cauterized. The fact that David was even able to form a lightning effect which burnt the surrounding plant and even the neck of the beast was just too shocking to the two disciples that they inhaled deeply. 

Even their earth ranked technique was barely able to bring forth such effect. 

Long Chen walked forwards with a frown and asked. "What state is your lightning splice at?"

David glanced at Long Chen and replied casually "Ultimum state."

Long Chen and Zhu Shimei appeared shocked. They knew about the lightning splice technique as it was a pretty popular technique within the academies but there had never been more than ten people who had leant the technique to the ultimum stage while still at the Mortal ranked stage, which meant that although David might not have incredible talent, his perception was way off the chart.

But then, Long Chen frowned as he said. "Since you have the strength, why the didn't you attack earlier when you could have slayed the beast from the beginning and prevent the other two disciples from been severely injured and saving us the trouble of wasting our strength? Is it that you have an ulterior motive?"

David paused his digging into the beast's head for a genetic nucleus and gazed at Long Chen indifferently. 

"What does my actions have to do with you? And since the two of them are weak, why did they choose this mission in the first place as for having an ulterior motive, won't you know later?" David countered. 

"Don't bother me." David waved his hands and then went digging into the skull for the nucleus. 

"You!" Long Chen pointed at David, exasperated as he glared at David with ill intent. 

David smiled as he took out a reddish dark gem from within the dragon panther's skull. But then, he turned towards Long Chen as he said "F*ck off!"

Activating his storage ring, he was about to stand up when there was a whoosh sound and a single spark could been seen flying with intense speed, ultimately slamming into David's shoulder.

"Dang!"

The wind stirred and a shockwave exploded in the air, stirring up the leaves and plant, even uprooting the surrounding grass. 

Time seem to pause as David raised his head and gazed at Long Chen and then at the treasured sword at his shoulder with a raised eye brow. 

"Uhn? What was the big idea?"

"What are you trying to do? Rob me off my nucleus?"
