Blue Star Cultivator 19 The Dragon Stew Restauraunt!

Hartley could sense 5 xiantian experts approaching from multiple directions with ill intent, He was nervous, not because he feared them but because Zhi Ruo was here. He immediately stood up and slammed in his right palm on the table, BOOM!! the table turned to dust, it was going t be a hindrance to movement in a tight s.p.a.ce,with a shocked look on her face Zhi Ruo coughed from inhaling the wooden dust, but before she could catch her breath, ZOOOM!

Hartley applied gravity repel to her body which sent her moving to the left at a fast pace, she flew out about 25m before Hartely tried to counteract the speed of her movement with "gravity attract", this was a move where Hartley could use the force of gravity parallel to the ground to bring things towards him, providing the item wasn't tied or nailed down, it worked! and it slowed down her momentum enough that as she hit the wall of the restaurant she didn't break any bones, she only fainted..

Hartley was worried about her but didn't have time to be fully concerned with her at this moment.

A 2nd layer xiantian expert came over the banister at the far end of the restaurant and moved so quick in Hartley's direction that he left shadow images in a straight line behind him, his feet barely made a sound on the floor.

The Bottom half of his face was masked ninja style, he had green eyes and was a wind element expert. Hartley had fought his whole life against fierce beast who all battled head on, but in a fight with another xiantian expert, they won't just brainlessly move forward in a head on battle unless they were very confident to win with their first strike..

Apparently this guy was very confident. As the wind element expert was closing in from the front, Hartley sensed fire element fluctuations from behind and a fireball projectile was released, aimed at his back.

The timing was superb, the fireball would arrive right after the wind element expert made his first strike, so if the strike was blocked he could use his overwhelming speed to retreat in case the fire ball exploded on contact with the target, the guys seemed to have tremendous understanding between themselves, not to mention the other 3 had not shown themselves yet but Hartley knew they were lurking, this combination move was just to test the waters.

What they didn't know was, these waters were Shark Infested!

STEP 1..... Hartley immediately went into "Sate of Focus" for him time was flowing only quarter of the

normal speed, he could now see fully every minute detail, he saw the wind element forming at the

feet of the dark robed wind expert as he took each step, he could see the fluttering of the robes as it moved against the wind resistance in the natural air.

STEP 2....

. Hartley applied a 10x gravity field in a five meter radius around himself, if the gravity was any stronger the second floor might collapse into the first floor.

STEP 3...

Out of nowhere a long black blade appeared in his right hand a and short red blade appeared in his left hand. The approaching expert had his sword held in a two handed grip at his right shoulder pointed forward with the sword horizontal to the ground prepped for his killer strike.

As the a.s.sailant entered to within five meters of Hartley, his eyes bulged in surprise, his speed halved as he fought against a more dense gravity pushing down on his body, he executed his killer move anyway, this was a move designed to leave no room for dodging in any direction for the opponent. "Die!" a single word fell from the mouth of the masked attacker as he stabbed forward with his sword, it multiplied into six sword lights aimed at six different parts of the body, one couldn't differentiate the sword light from the real sword, it was basically like six different swords stabbed forwards at the same time.. In his state of focus, Hartley could clearly see the six sword lights heading for his right kidney, his left kidney, his heart, his left shoulder, his right shoulder and his neck. CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG. The chatter of metal rang out in the room accompanied by bright sparks...

With zero gravity applied to both blades, Hartley's swords swam out like a dragon and parried 3 strikes with his short-blade in his left hand and 3 strikes with his long blade in his right hand as fast as lightning, a series of sparks exploded everywhere amidst the clanging sounds of metal, that wasn't all, the genius of this move was he parried the strikes on his left side towards the left and the strikes on his right side towards the right, which made all the sword light rush harmlessly to the outside of his body and completely broke the momentum of the attacker and left him standing wide open with his real sword dangling in a harmless position with his eyes dazed in disbelief...

STEP 4.....

Even though Hartley was now a 3rd layer xiantian in power, his physical body was still only 1st

layer xiantian...but it was enough...with his right leg shrouded in a blue aura, Hartley executed a front step kick which brought a gust of swirling wind from nowhere blowing away dozens of tables and chairs clearing the 2nd floor of most obstacles.

The furniture clattered and broke into splinters when they collided with the walls of the restaurant leaving a thick fog of wooden dust in the air. Hartley had just executed a typhoon kick... when the sole of his right foot made contact with the chest area of the dazed opponent, he flew backwards leaving after images with the sound of broken bones echoing through the now empty 2nd floor.

In the blink of an eye he flew through a wooden wall at the front with a miserable scream and collided with the beautifully crafted Dragon Stew Restaurant signboard and his body exploded into a mist of blood while the signboard turned into a firework-show of red splinters and blood raining down on those at the entrance of the restaurant and those unlucky pedestrians below.

Back to Hartlely, as soon as the kicked had landed on the wind element expert, the fireball had reached his back, he used gravity repel on the fireball which slowed it down just enough for him to use his minute movement dodging technique and slipped pa.s.sed the fireball, even though it didn't touch him, the immense heat of it scalded his right shoulder and took a layer of his skin with it towards where the wind element expert was headed..

The people milling around on the road outside the restaurant, witnessed something flying through the front wall of the restaurant leaving a ragged hole behind, then colliding and exploding along with the signboard producing a loud crash sending splinters and droplets of blood raining down on the unprepared people below, this started a chaotic scene with people desperately scrambling away from the restaurant's entrance, a second later another big explosion shook the building with a flash of yellow that removed the entire front wall of the building....

The screaming and horse neighing outside rose to a crescendo at this point, everyone was in a panic to escape this terrible place before the next explosion which could be any second now, people standing on the street could see unhindered into the second floor of the restaurant, where there was now no front wall.

All of this took almost 4 paragraphs to explain but from the time Hartley smashed the table he was sitting at, to the time the front of the restaurant exploded, it was only 4 seconds in real time. Hartley had just erased a 2nd layer xiantian expert with wind element affinity in 4 easy steps..(Maybe he should put on a seminar..lol..)

Now that the 2nd floor was cleared of the annoying obstacles (tables and chairs), he could now use gravity steps, this was his technique that applied zero gravity around his body with precision split second timing to decrease air resistance around him to multiply straight line speed exponentially.

He flashed to the back of the restaurant where the fire element 3rd layer xiantian expert had fired the fireball from. He flashed 30 meters in 0.000001 seconds, that was practically a teleport. .....
