Brax found the world outside the sect no less impressive. He saw grand valleys and plains on the horizon.
The scenery might have been breathtaking but after walking for a whole day, Brax got used to it. What he didn't get used to was the wildlife he kept encountering.
Most of these were just small mammals and reptiles that posed no threat to him as he kept to the main route, but their appearance and special features made him want to capture them and dissect them to see how different they were from the animals of his previous world.
But his current objective is something else, so he can't waste his time going around catching animals. He continued his path toward the Whiteworro town.
Whiteworry Town is his destination.
Being harassed by a group of bandits for a few weeks has led the townfolk of Whiteworry to ask for help from the Eleven Mountain sect, as it is the only major power close by.
Imagining the upcoming fight that he is going to have made Brax a little excited. Not because he loves fighting, but because he is about to experience something new. It is a fight on a supernatural level, something he is going to experience for the very first time.
As a man who thirsts for knowledge, even fighting is a study for him. A strong fighter isn't strong because he is born that way, a strong fighter is strong because he is a student who never stops learning.
No matter what aspect of life it is, Brax knows that only through learning can one reach apex.
Now that he has embarked on the path of immortality, he is going to master everything that leads him to said immortality to perfection. And fighting is one of them.
Night falls and Brax has set up camp next to a river flowing south. The river has a peaceful flow, allowing the bright night sky to reflect on it. It is an extremely beautiful scenery and Brax is enjoying it to the fullest while leaning next to a tree.
He doesn't need to eat or drink because his body is constantly being energized by the Qi that is entering his body. He can tell he is close to breaking through to the next stage again.
He would have already broken through if he was inside the sect right now.
Eyes closed, lost in his chaotic thoughts, trying to decipher questions that he does not have answers to, a commotion suddenly pulls him out.
He opens his eyes and sees a bloodied girl running towards him. Well, at least trying to.
Her clothes are barely hanging off her body, they are bloodied and torn. She is exhausted and stumbling on her feet.
Their eyes meet, and Brax is immediately perplexed because he knows this isn't good.
A bloody woman running for her life means that her perpetrator is right behind her.
When their eyes meet, she mouths 'save me' and completely collapses on the ground. 'I hope she is dead,' Brax thinks, as he doesn't want to be bothered by whatever is going on with her.
'I need to move,' Brax thinks and turns his back, ready to leave the girl to her demise.
But how can things always be so simple?
As soon as he turns his back, and is about to leave. "HALT!" Someone yells at him.
Brax can sense he is surrounded right now so there is no point running, plus he doesn't have a full grasp of his situation right now. Making a hasty decision like running can cost him his life.
He turns back and sees five people in front of him, all of them are in black clothing covering them from head to toe.
'There are two more behind me,' Brax thinks, sensing two dense Qi signatures behind him.
Now that he is cultivating the most powerful Qi breathing technique, his Qi-sensing ability has skyrocketed.
Brax studies these seven men. Three of them are at the 10th stage of the Qi condensation realm. Another three are at the 1st stage of the foundation establishment realm. And the last one is in the 2nd stage of the foundation establishment realm.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
As for the girl who is on the verge of death, she is a 1st stage foundation establishment realm.
'This should be manageable,' Brax thinks as he concludes that this group poses no threat to him.
"Seniors, I didn't see anything. I am just passing by. In fact, I am completely blind." Brax says raising his arms.
Brax's sudden declaration surprises the five men in front of him.
One of them even laughs out loud hearing his comment.
"What should we do, boss?" the foundation establishment realm cultivator standing next to the leader asks while staring daggers at Brax.
Brax doesn't like the look he is getting from this man.
"You are very smart, kid," The leader suddenly speaks. "But you are also very unlucky. You stumbled into something you shouldn't have seen," he says showing pity toward Brax.
Brax's eyes turn cold. He didn't expect these people to be so ruthless. He didn't cause any trouble and even went out of his way to get on their good side, but it seems to have no effect.
"Kill him!" the leader orders.
Suddenly a 10th-stage Qi condensation realm cultivator standing behind the leader charges at Brax with incredible speed. He pulls out his dagger from its sheath and aims for Brax's neck.
Since the kid is smart, the man decides to end this kid's life swiftly, but something unexpected happens.
Brax grabs the man's wrist with his right hand, stopping his momentum completely. He then smashes the inside elbow of the man with incredible force using his left hand, severing the joint of the forearm from the upper arm.
Brax then directs the dagger directly into the man's throat.
The man's eyes bulge in shock and drops dead instantly. Blood spurts out like a fountain and he collapses.
As soon as the man collapses, Brax immediately crouches as he senses another attack aimed at the back of his head.
His speed is beyond these people. Brax sees his attacker going over his head in slow motion.
So with the dagger he just snatched from his previous attacker. He lunges up like a frog and drives the dagger straight into his attacker's heart and immediately pulls it out so that the attacker continues bleeding.
The attacker immediately collapses as his heart is a goner. It will take him a few minutes to die. There is no saving him.
One 10th-stage Qi condensation cultivator and one 1st-stage foundation establishment cultivator were taken down with ease.
The sudden development shocks the remaining five. They didn't expect a 6th-stage Qi cultivator to kill cultivators with significantly higher stages than himself so swiftly.
The leader of the group frowns. He didn't care about the Qi condensation cultivator as they are as dime as dozens, but the loss of the foundation level cultivator is big.
"You are hiding your true strength!" He says coldly.
"Yes, and this wouldn't have happened if you had just let me go. I didn't want to get involved from the very beginning," Brax says with a smirk.
"True, but there is no turning back. You killed a member of my team. You are going to die today. Everyone attack together!" The leader orders.
His four henchmen immediately attack Brax. Two 10th-stage Qi condensation cultivators, and two 1st-stage foundation cultivators, each with their weapons out, trying to slice up Brax like a fish.
They are indeed fast, but Brax finds their movement extremely slow. The very first thing he does is charge up the dagger in his hand with Qi energy and throw it at one of the foundation realm cultivators who is in front of the pack.
The dagger travels so fast that the foundation realm cultivator can't even react in time. The dagger pierces his skull and immediately kills him.
But Brax immediately finds his face in front of the tip of a sword and the one holding it is the other foundation realm cultivator.
Brax dodges with his swift boxing-like movement and lets the man lunge past him. He then immediately targets the much slower Qi condensation cultivators and charges towards them.
Making a fist, channeling the Qi energy into it, and making it burst into blazing flames, Brax smashes his fiery fist into his victim's face. A right straight on the nose.
The sound of bones shattering is immediately heard, followed by the sizzling of meat, as Brax's fist caves the man's face in.
Without rest, Brax throws a left hook engulfed in a fierce fire at the Qi condensation cultivator who is to his right.
Brax's flaming fist makes contact with the jaw of his victim, immediately shattering it and ripping his lower jaw right off his face.
The victim's remaining head then immediately catches on fire and starts burning, leaving him screaming and rolling on the ground before dying a painful death.
Brax then moves to the side, dodging another sword strike from behind. His attacker immediately stops in his tracks and turns around to swipe at Brax with his sword.
But before he can even process what he is seeing, he feels Brax's five fingers dig into his throat.
As soon as he turned, Brax shot his arm making a claw. Immediately digging his fingers into his victim's trachea and ripping it out of his neck.
The foundation realm cultivator stares at Brax with shock as he sees the inside of his neck in Brax's hand. He raises his sword one last time, pointing it at Brax in a futile attempt to collapse on the ground.
Brax throws the trachea to the side and immediately locks his eyes on the leader.
"Shit!" The leader exclaims and makes a run.
He just saw what happened.
He realizes that he is going to die if he doesn't run away right now.
"You are going nowhere." He hears Brax's voice right behind him and feels Brax's hand grabbing the back of his head.
And before he knows it, his face kisses the ground with incredible force.
His nose and front teeth immediately get smashed. "Senior, show mercy~" he begs as he feels Brax's fingers digging into the back of his skull.
"Ya sure," He hears Brax. Suddenly, a sense of relief washes over him, not realizing that Brax is being sarcastic.
And like someone pouring cold water over his head, his head gets smashed into the ground once again. He gasps in pain before immediately getting smashed once again, and again, and again.
Brax continues this till his head turns into meat paste.
