Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 144 Making A Statement 1 : Confronting The Tangs

It took at least an hour of walking through the forest before they came up to a camp in the forest, most of the students had thankfully survived and were huddle in one area whilst officials of the academy, dressed in tight fitting black and silver uniforms moved around trying to help the students and arranging transport for them. There were also students of the academy around, though they had on silver and blue uniforms instead of the black that denoted someone as a staff of the academy.

Much to Alex's annoyance, Lu Wan was still alive, but that was up to him and Alex didn't really care about the dude. So far they've not had any sort of clash since the first time Alex was able to manifest Nezha's spirit, and since that time, Alex had gotten strong enough that he would be able to beat anyone within the same cultivation realm as him without stressing himself too much. The Tang students were huddle together about to get on a transport when Xiao Mei's body turned illusory and her must like form crossed a thirty meter distance in two seconds to appear behind Tang Lin and then wrap both her hands under his shoulder to place it around his neck in a full nelson hold.

Alex recognized that move since he had used it before, and it was his retelling of it's usage that prompted Xiao Mei to learn it from him. Tang Lin was shocked, but before he could even register what was happening, Xiao Mei pushed off from the ground and threw him over her head, using the dragon suplex moved to plant his skull deep into the ground. His neck could have been broken, and it was because of that Alex knew his sister was aiming to kill, and to do it in the most painful way possible. The three others from the Tang sect went on the offensive as darts flew through the air towards Xiao Mei at point blank range.

A s.h.i.+eld of light showed up in front of her, just as Anya appeared from the other side with a fiery punch that almost took the head off one of the Tang disciples. The girl immediately pa.s.sed out with the smell of burnt hair and scalp wafting into the air, luckily it wasn't her face or she'll be spending a pretty penny for plastic surgery. The other two pulled out guns, however before they could make any moves their bodies froze, the blood within their systems began to flow in reverse as they were raised into the air, their bodies contorting in grotesque ways, almost to the point of being broken or twisted into pretzels.

The staff and students of the academy where shocked at what they were seeing, but those who had experience of being saved from the sabotaged Airs.h.i.+p, knew without a doubt what was happening, so they all turned their heads towards Alex who already the blood mask on his face. His hair was the darkest shades of blood red imaginable and it waved around from the caresses of an invisible wind. Ébié didn't take possession of him this time, but he was no less aluring and terrifying. There was a flash of light around Xiao Mei as she was suddenly garbed in her own uniform, on the back of her uniform, three purple lines were there, denoting her as a third year student, and seeing that, most of the students and staff about to interfere backed off. Looks like there was more to the academy than met the eye.

Louis held up Tang Lin and the pa.s.sed out girl who was shaken awake, he other two were still floating above their heads, with looks of horror on their face as Alex slowly tortured them. Tang Lin who had his head busted open from Xiao Mei's earlier move had a look of fury and anger in his eyes, he looked like he was ready to spit fire. There were teachers amongst the staff, heck Alex could feel someone of great power watching them a few hundred meters into the air, but no one could see them, at this point it made him understand something.

This academy functioned in an even more extreme manner than the current Wudang sect, as long as you had power and you could subdue your opponent, then you could decided their fate. Of course Alex didn't think they would allow him to kill or outright cripple someone, but they would let you send a message and thrive and grow from the conflict that it brings. This was no school, it was a f.u.c.king warzone. Xiao Mei was about to say something to Tang Lin before Alex placed his hand on her shoulder, and then much to the shock and surprise of everyone here, he swung the same hand at Tang Lin's face.

*Smack!*

Alex's current body, without his knowledge was way stronger than anything someone Within the mortal gate can handle, or damage without using special techniques or powerful weapons. He hadn't gotten to the point where he could withstand a full powered strike from someone in the earth gate, but he could hold his own for all of three seconds before he gets completely flattened. But amongst the cultivators of the mortal gate, unless you had really good talent, so much so that it'll set you out from your peers, then it would be hard kicking Alex's a.s.s if he decides to get serious.

"You owe me your life, I've come to collect." Alex said to him as he knelt down in front of Tang Lin, his red hair covering part of his fearsome blood Dragon mask.

Tang Lin couldn't say anything, what was there to say; he had decided to use the people who save his life as bait do that he and his fellow disciples could escape the forest and survive. They've not even entrée he academy yet, but he was willing to make enemies in the name of survival, if rather he just didn't care about anyone other than himself.

Alex got the feeling Tang Lin would have left his comrades behind if it meant he would survive longer, Alex looked up at the people still undergoing his torture and just set them free, letting both of them fall to the ground. He didn't think they were innocent, it's just that compared to this sc.u.m bag and the unrepentant look in Tang Lin's eyes, Alex felt this was the bigger fool to make an example of.

"You put the lives of innocent people in danger, when my sister and I save all your lives we didn't discriminate, we didn't give a s.h.i.+t which sect or country, or colony or land you're from! And then in your selfishness you condemned people that would have had a fruitful and worthy life to death! Do you think your life is worth more than theirs, that you're some chosen one and you're destined for great things!

No! What you are now is my prisoner, my prey, and a fool who I'll be rus.h.i.+ng out retribution and punishment onto. I'll make sure...…"

"What gives you the right to be judge, jury and executioner! There's no telling your sister's plan would have worked, she would have led us to our deaths!" Alex was p.i.s.sed and so he blew up! At the Emei disciple that was talking.

"People are already dead! The died following the example set by this stupid fools! And how f.u.c.king dare you talk about my sister like that! If it wasn't for her none of you fools! Would still be alive! Do you think she'll purposely lead you to your deaths, his foolish can you all be! She has more experience of the forest than anyone else here and told you waste of s.p.a.ce and talent which direction to head towards, yet you left her behind!

From today henceforth the Zhang family will have nothing to do with the Emei, and Tang sect! As for you students from the imperial academy! I'll be dealing with all of you later, personally!"

Alex didn't have the power to make such a decision for the Zhang clan, not yet anyway and many of them knew it, but as for the students of the imperial academy they knew they were at his mercy and command, Alex was after all Childe Spirit Wind of the empire of heaven, a post that gave him control over the military forces of the empire, something that the imperial academy fosters and raises, soldiers! Not to mention he was the emperor's own son in-law, by all means they were supposed to be protecting him from the moment they met him in Hong Kong.

"Please Childe Spirit Wind, temper justice with mercy, this was an oversight on our part! It will never happen again!"

Military rule within the empire of heaven was absolute, it was why the empire of heaven had been so successful in their attempt to colonize the world. And right now Alex was the ranking officer, heck even a general or commander of the army will have to listen to him. But there were others who would be willing to challenge Alex, especially in the grounds of the Zhang clan cutting of ties, and who else but Lu Wan would raise such a challenge.
