Against Heaven's Will-Novel

"I apologize but I can’t repeat your message," the Servant replied calmly. "I will still recount what happened. My Master and I definitely underestimated the power of the Elemental Bracelet."

It was the first time Xuefeng met someone as patient as that man. He almost felt bad but there was no way he would let him go this easily.

"Don’t worry, I will help you get to your master sooner," Xuefeng assured as he kept his Dragon Edge. "I don’t want you to forget my message."

Immediately after he spoke, he let go of Katherine, and his body burst with golden light. His arms turned into two Air and Fire Dragon Claws that he displayed to the experts.

"If you want to be forgiven, stop him if he tries running away."

The Servant finally reacted with displeasure.

"You are making a mistake young man. The moment you wore the Elemental Bracelet, you agreed to be challenged. This is a fair competition."

"Haha! Fair competition?!" Xuefeng burst out laughing. "Is this what we call it nowadays? Ganging up on one person with tens of experts is a fair competition? Don’t make me laugh! How about you face all of us together since it’s so fair?!"

He launched forward without hesitation and smashed a flaming fist against the Servant’s body. Too bad, inches before the hit, the same golden barrier blocked the strike, not even cracking it.

Bang!

His claws exploded with flames, covering them all before Xuefeng bounced back.

"I see, so that’s how your barrier works," Xuefeng commented casually. "I was just testing it."

’You should get this Artefact. If I’m not wrong, it’s one of the Godly Treasures,’ Ming suggested but Xuefeng already thought the same. If he could gift it to one of his wives, he wouldn’t need to worry about her safety anymore.

"Although my strength is limited by the Heaven Realm, the power of my Artefacts is not. There is no one under God Realm who can break through it," the Servant muttered proudly. "Give up and leave. You can’t defeat me."

"And you," he gazed at the experts still lingering in the distance. "I will definitely inform my Master of your betrayal."

The experts’ faces turned ugly, trapped between two powerful entities. No matter who they sided with, they risked the anger of the other.

Xuefeng couldn’t help but laugh again, assuring, "Hah, don’t worry! Give me a year and that old man won’t be able to bother anyone."

The Servant raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, you heard me right," Xuefeng repeated confidently. "I will reach the peak of Celestial Stage within one year, Ascend to the God Realm, find your bitch Master, and kill him. No matter where he hides, he won’t be able to escape me."

"My Master never runs away from an enemy," the Servant replied sternly. "I was actually worried Master finally found a worthy opponent but seeing how delusional you are, I feel at ease."

He snapped his fingers at the Experts and ordered, "Cancel your lockdown on the space. I’m leaving."

"Don’t!" Xuefeng countered instantly. "He is stuck here cause he can’t teleport away. Once he tries to run away, he will release Sect Master Liu as well. That’s the reason he didn’t move this whole time."

"Yes!" Sect Master Liu confirmed. "Force him away from the barrier! It will free me and we can fight him together."

Xuefeng only rolled his eyes, ignoring his suggestion. The only way he would free him was by killing the Servant. Sect Master Liu lost all his respect and he didn’t want to have anything to do with him.

He didn’t plan on hating him either as he got punished for his actions already.

"Xuefeng!" Katherine called out as she flew to his side, her body sparkling with lightning. "Let me help you."

Xuefeng smiled and nodded, "Take care of Pearl."

She was close to Sect Master Liu but after Xuefeng’s attack, she quickly distanced herself.

"The only way you can leave this place is by leaving your soul behind," Xuefeng called out to the Servant. "I’m sure your Master misses you."

"Even Disciple Liu can’t break out. What makes you think you can do it?" the Servant asked with a shrug. "I don’t mind staying here but you are only wasting time—"

"Who said anything about breaking?"

Time manipulation!

Xuefeng launched himself forward once again as everything froze. He didn’t save on Fate Qi, activating his ability to the fullest.

Ten times!

Twenty times!

Thirty times!

Each second passed for him seemed like thirty seconds for everyone else. Even with that, inches before his claws hit the target, the barrier began to appear.

"Not today!" Xuefeng cried out as he pierced faster, dodging the barrier to strike from the side.

Ugh!

Everyone heard a loud grunt when the time unfroze and Xuefeng was by the Servant’s side with his claws deep in his stomach.

"When you are fast enough, you don’t need much strength to defeat your enemies," Xuefeng muttered, thrusting his claws even deeper.

"You can manipulate tim—" the Servant figured but Xuefeng cut him off, covering his mouth with a second claw.

"You will never know. Tell your Bitch Master to wait for me. I won’t make him wait too long though," Xuefeng reminded before he ripped off the entire head.

The barrier surrounding Sect Master Liu broke while the Servant’s body slowly vanished, turning back into Qi which Xuefeng happily absorbed.

"Liu!" Pearl cried out and rushed into his arms but Xuefeng didn’t pay attention to them, spotting a necklace stuck on one of his claws.

"Xuefeng, are you okay?" Katherine appeared next to him and noticed the round crystal melted into a black metal frame. "Is that the Artefact?"

"Mhmm," Xuefeng nodded immediately and let Ming keep it for now. "We will talk about it later. There is something more important to settle for now."

As he spoke, he turned to the experts and announced, "The party is over. You can all scram. If I see any of you again, you will receive the same kind of treatment as this man."

He didn’t need to speak twice for them to start moving, disappearing from sight right after with only the four of them hovering in the sky.

"Katherine, I can explain..."
