Chapter 2401

The fact that all seven of them had failed to stop that single aurablade made for a truly soul crushing experience.

Regardless, though the helpless men were able to dodge in time, their action left Isaac completely exposed! Upon being stabbed, Isaac howled in pain before exploding into a cloud of dust barely a second later…!

But that wasn’t all!

With how great the collision impact had been, a shockwave was sent out, resulting in all seven of the men spurting out blood even though they had avoided the main attack!

“S-such… Such power…! What a powerful aurablade..! ” stuttered the six elders in both horror and shock.

Jaxen, however, was filled with grief as he muttered, “Isaac…”

Not even processing Jaxen’s misery, the six elders were already exchanging glances as they said, “Was that attack really from Gerald? How could his cultivation be this high…?!”

After what they had just witnessed, they were glad that they had chosen to invite the elders of the Thunder Sword Sect to handle the situation rather than hastily deal with the boy themselves… Had they gone with the latter, their family would have surely been exterminated by now…!

Their train of thought was cut short when Jaxen who couldn’t even find traces of Isaac’s clothing left behind began wailing while yelling, “My poor boy…!”

“Control yourself, Jaxen. Gerald could be nearby! Though he’s accepted our duel invitation, it’s clear that he doesn’t intend to spare any of us! With that said, please, calm down!” said one of the elders in a fearful tone.

“Indeed! There’s a reason why people say lack of forbearance in small matters ultimately upsets the greater plan! If we start the battle in advance, he’ll just have more reasons to exterminate us earlier! By that point, it’ll be useless even if those from the Thunder Sword Sect come! You have to endure this…!”

added another elder.

Though they were fearing the worst, Gerald himself wasn’t planning on killing any more of them today.

After getting rid of Yasmin and Wael, Gerald quickly helped Harper expel the poison before sending him to the hospital to recuperate.

Shaking his head, the boy couldn’t help but mutter, “To think that this petty family even dares to go against me I’m sure there’s someone helping them out behind the scenes!”

Gerald had finished reading all the books that Walter had given him quite recently, which was why he knew that the cultivation realm was pretty much its own independent world. Though it was still located on earth, those from the realm never partook in anything related to the secular world. It was simply an unwritten rule of the cultivation realm.

Because of that, though there were many cultivating families like the Zemans across the globe, commoners weren’t aware of this. Of course, this included cultivating families and sects in Weston.

Speaking of Weston, though several families here trained their bodies to the extreme, they weren’t technically ‘true’ cultivators. With that in mind, though they were mysterious, they were still considered to be part of the secular world, and were allowed to interact with the people there.

The high elders of the three large families in Yanam were good examples of this. Though they thought they were cultivators, they really weren’t. Sadly, it wasn’t easy to tell unless such people were actually fought with. Either way, Gerald was thinking about all this since he wondered whether the Morningstars actually had support from real cultivators…
