Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Night Ghost could feel his ribs and internal organs shaking a bit. He never felt this weak in a while. By any chance, if he were to get hit by those punches a few more times, he could just die here.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the Sect leader. The dagger went straight into his chest and Night Ghost's mission was complete.

So, he casually took out the transference scroll and escaped.

The earth sect leader made a move to catch up to him, but before he could do anything he escaped.

Night Ghost arrived back at the camp and went to rest immediately as Sam gave him some wine to recover himself.

Meanwhile, the Earth Sect leader looked around with a scowl on his face. He is extremely angry, in fact, furious about what has happened here. He was chased by a person who has one cultivation level less than him.

This is beyond humiliating and what made it even worse is, that the other party escaped after dealing him an almost critical blow. In his opinion, if he was even a little bit less vigilant, the dagger would have gone straight to his heart.

If only he knew that the attack was just meant to stab him anywhere and Night Ghost didn't even have any other target to achieve, then he would have been much more vigilant. But too bad for him, he doesn't have any other choice now.

He carefully pulled out the dagger and took a look with a frown. He felt that the dagger is a bit different. It definitely didn't look the same when it was stabbed into his chest.

But he didn't have time to think about it too much. He took a pill that could speed up his recovery as he ran towards the nearest sect leader.

Before he could reach him, that Water sect leader is already halfway towards him. It seems like he also noticed the commotion. If only he came a bit faster, then the other party wouldn't have escaped.

"Let's go. I have something important to talk about."

The earth sect leader didn't stand there to talk, they went back to the water sect leader and they started the discussion.

"How many people came to attack you?"

"Only one. An Initial Stage Consummate cultivator."

"Only one? Then why are you in such shape? Not to mention, the other party is weaker."

"I know, but that is not important here." With that, he paused and looked around silently while gesturing the water sect leader to stay silent as well. He took out a scroll and a brush as he wrote something on it to let the water sect leader read.

The other party frowned after looking at the content, but still nodded and both of them took out a beast so that they could fly over into the sky a bit.

Then only the earth sect leader heaved a sigh of relief and talked.

"I think they bugged us."

"Really? Bugging the core area? If they could do that, they would have just placed whatever caused the explosion there and killed us. Even if the explosion didn't kill us, we would be half-dead and even an Astral Plane Transcendent cultivator can kill us later."

"I know this sounds ridiculous, but I have a reason to believe it. At least we cannot completely rule out that angle. Here, let me show you…"

With that, he took out the plans given by the formation masters and explained them to him.

"Right after I discussed these plans, they came after me. I have reason to believe that they are maintaining surveillance on us."

The Water sect leader didn't know what to think, he looked at the plans for a while and said.

"Indeed we cannot rule out the possibility, but don't you think it would be more logical to kill off the formation masters than you. After all, even if you are dead, the formation masters can definitely give the information to us and they would still be able to construct this formation."

Earth Sect leader also became silent. Indeed the other party was right, but he cannot shake that feeling off for some reason and his paranoia only increased as he kept on thinking.

All of a sudden all kinds of weird thoughts started coming into his head.

Water sect leader looked at him and continued.

"You don't need to think too much into it. But if it is true, there is a possibility that the formation masters are going to be attacked."

"No, I am the one leading them, I would be the one getting attacked." The earth sect master couldn't help but say that in a quivering tone.

"Brother, I know you are a bit cautious now that you have been attacked. Maybe it is just because you are the one roaming around in the current situation and you might be the only target they could get to, to cause significant damage to us. I already told you to not think too much into it."

"Roaming around? Do I look like I am wasting time and leisurely strolling around?"

"What? No? What are you even talking about?"

"Now, you are saying that I don't even know what I am talking about?"

Water Sect leader was dumbfounded. This way of talking is quite unreasonable.

"What is wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Now, you are saying that there is something wrong with me? Do I look like a nutjob to you?"

"No. Let's... Let's just go back. You need to rest for a while. We can think after you rested a bit. Let's go and have a drink."

"So, you are saying I am too frail to talk with you? Do I need to rest just to talk with you? Who do you think you are?"

The Water sect leader never heard this type of unreasonable conversation much less be a part of one.

He looked at the eyes of the Earth sect leader and he noticed that he looked a little crazy now. The expressions kept on changing as if so many emotions are overwhelming him.

"Brother, you are not okay. We need to go down. Tell your beast to go down."

"Who are you say I am not okay? Who are you calling weak?" The earth sect leader turned crazy and he slowly activated the earth elemental fusion. The Water sect leader became vigilant and he also turned on water elemental fusion.

"Why are you activating your fusion? Are you planning to get rid of me because I am weak? Is this your way of saying that I am useless to even get stabbed by a weaker guy?"

Earth Sect leader spouted as he completely ignored the fact that he is also activating his fusion and only pointed out the actions of the Water Sect leader, before lunging forward.

*ROAR*

The Beast under their feet roared as it couldn't take the stomp of the Sect leader and hurriedly moved downwards to descend.

The Water sect leader immediately jumped downwards. He knew that something is wrong with the earth sect leader and he definitely knew better than directly fighting. But what he doesn't know is that the earth sect leader didn't share the same thoughts.

He jumped right after him and turned into a boulder in the middle of descent. This time instead of spikes he was covered with holes that are channeling the sand at an extremely high rate making every grain fly around almost creating a curtain of sand falling over the area.

As the sand entered his fusion body forcefully, the water sect leader tried his best to control the flow of the water so that he can separate the sand particles from himself.

But the boulder hit him while he was in the middle of the process and the Earth Sect leader forcefully started turning his body into the sand as he tried to enter the water elemental fusion body.

The clash was completely different than normal. They are not fighting, instead, they are trying to absorb each other's bodies into their own fusion bodies so that they could destroy the other party.

This is an extreme measure. And only because the sand and water have this kind of ability it is possible for one of them to reign over the other.

Either the sand has to completely absorb or reduce the water into nothing or the water should flow too much to dissipate the sand into nothing.

Either way, if they persist in this direction, either one of them is of them would die a tragic death and even if they turned back to themselves in time, they would have to face intense backlash.

Sam is looking at the surveillance from the cave along with the others. Currently, the whole team has nothing to do. Everyone in the sects is holing up and they don't even have anyone to assassinate.

So, they are just looking at the show and it is extremely interesting at the moment.
