To Walk The Mist Chapter 73

Using all his strength, Ed punched the first layer of human shields . They only felt as their body went up into the air . Their bones hurt and muscles torn from their place . Blood flowed .

Retreating back, Ed prepared for the second punch .

Ed Attacked again and this time, a clear path to elder ban was made . He retreated a second time . It looked to them as though he was mimicking a wild bull gaining momentum .

"It is not the blink skill he is using to move . " someone said .

"His speed is purely from physical movement alone . " another said .

"This guy, is he human?"

"He is mocking us by not using his energy . "

Ed retreated and prepared to attack again .

This time, he was not stupid enough to rely on his physical strength alone . He felt his energy pulse in him . His knuckles cracked as his hand gripped into a fist and circulated a little of his energy to his fist . The elders tensed as though they knew what was coming . Elder Ban felt her form steadied by the elders behind her, while the elder beside her prepared to strike Ed the moment he is close enough .

Ed stepped back, aimed and shot forward with incomprehensible speed .

Crack!

The sound of his form breaking through the air could not keep up with is body that had already crossed meters to appear before turtle shield .

Grip!

His muscles stretched and his body tensed .

Bang!

As Ed's fist touched the turtle shell, a sonorous bang rang through the air . Pressure so hard, it pushed a wave forth descended from his fist . This wave flattened them so fast and strong, the elder could not break through to stab Ed .

Blood .

One could feel skin melt and bones crush to powder . It was like being hit by a falling star . There was no escape for any, even the mortals on the first level . His destructive and corrosive energy sipped into the air, stinging ones nose, eating through the barriers of the devil's cage, exposing all to the destruction of Ed's fist .

Boom!

The entire city caved into a deep crater .

Outside the city, Old Iba almost swallowed his teeth .

"How?" he asked .

Tie Nse laughed at the scene . One could not tell if he was happy of sad . Black lines appeared on his face .

"Why bother trying to teach him combat? This boy is too dangerous . " he said .

"You only just discovered now?!" Old Iba scolded, "Where did you find this boy?!"

"Old Iba, I worry for my life . . . . keke . . . is this boy even trainable?" Tie Nse said with a solemn laugh .

"He is still not strong enough to fight you . Don't forget, these guys all had their energy sealed . " Old Iba said .

"That's beside the point . He must have used his energy with this last punch . Is this what all the combined energies can do? Is it safe to keep raising this boy?" Tie Nse asked . His expression held a hint of melancholy .

"Oh? You suddenly care about the world? You allowed him to kill innocent people . You, yourself are not so good . If he turns evil . It will be because of the kind of teacher he got!" Tie Nse almost believed his words . But in the future, he came to understand the teacher had nothing to do with at all .

"Not about the world, about me . Can I really be called his teacher in the future?" Tie Nse said .

"It will get to a point when you will not be able to train him yes . He just has to survive till then . " Old Iba aid solemnly .

"I still don't know his name . " Tie Nse sighed and Old Iba frowned .

"You still hold no shame . "

Tie Nse put down Old Iba and looked down at the city as the dust cleared . The city was silent . The dome was gone . Inside the large crater, the ruins of a once beautiful city lay around Ed . His calm eyes held no feeling as it looked round the destruction looking for survivors . He could tell no one survived . The silence was deafening .

His heart did not even skip . His mind was blank . He held no regrets, no fear, no pain, no remorse . He was not sure when he begun to loose these bits of humanity, but it mattered not . It mattered not who died or lived . He looked up at Tie Nse in the sky . He felt nothing .

After the group had left the city, visitors who came after saw ruins . Many could not fathom what had happened . Soon, news spread through out the demon lands of the city and many cultivators rushed over to see . Some had tried to enter the city . When they stepped foot into the city, a corrosive smell stung their nose . As they breathed in the air, it entered their body and caused havoc . They felt as their energy veins snap around their body and screams rang out through the city . Soon, they just fell dead .

The ghost city, it was now called . You enter the city and leave as a ghost .
