C31 Goodbye

"Pulse Gear on"

This was a move Kyle accidentally created when he was practicing with his Gura Gura no mi and his body a few months ago.

Since he was a Tremor man, or a Quake man. Kyle felt that there was a constant tremor or quake inside his body, so he tried to generate more impulse and circulated it inside his body.

After a few circulations, Shockingly, the tremors in his body heat up and condensed. This made his body full of energy like Geothermal energy that made his body heat up, and multiplied the tremors he was constantly producing.

This move increased his speed a lot, it also made the effects of his Gura Gura no mi multiplied, and it also strengthened the power of his body.

The constant tremors that was leaking around him could also negate or repel random attacks that came before him.

The downside of this move was that it consumes a lot of stamina and was a huge strain in his body. It also constantly sends shockwaves/tremors around his body, hence the craters forming below his feet, causing a multitude of destruction wherever he goes.

Kyle wanted to finish off the Ximen Family fast, especially now since the other Sacred Families were now scared of him, and started to decide to retreat.

When he heard the shout of Ximen Tsui to attack, he opened his eyes. He saw the Senior elders rushed towards him, but he didn't bother and ignored them.

He used his Xiantian Ki again and flashed in front of Ximen Tsui. He wasn't constantly spamming his Xiantian Ki since he wanted to conserve his Ki and to avoid letting the others familiarize with his sudden burst of speed.

When Ximen Tsui suddenly saw Kyle in front him, he was still quite surprised by Kyle's sudden burst of speed, especially now with his Geo-Mode activated. But he was already a veteran in fighting a battle so he only reacted a little bit slower, and was already on guard against Kyle.

Kyle punched him with all he got. Kyle couldn't use or still hadn't learned how to use Busoshoku while in his Pulse Gear State. So his fist wasn't black and didn't got filled with Haki, still... The power in this punch was a lot stronger than his previous once.

Kyle's attack hit Ximen Tsui's weapon and cracks appeared between them. This time, his single punch didn't create a single crack, but three different cracks overlapping together.

The power of the attack was multitude stronger even without Busoshoku. This immediately destroyed Ximen Tsui's defense in a single hit and made Ximen Tsui's body blown away.

His attack penetrated deep inside Ximen Tsui's body, despite being on guard against him. Ximen Tsui's soul weapon wasn't destroyed, but it had a lot cracks on it and was thrown away from him.

While Ximen Tsui was being blown away, Kyle didn't stop there and charged to the five senior elders. He went all out and flashed beside them.

Five *BOOM!!* could be heard that felt like explosions.

When his attack landed, the senior elder's body didn't even have a chance to defend and they died on the spot. Their body was mangled... It felt like even their insides were destroyed all over.

Everywhere Kyle goes, craters are being formed, earth are being destroyed, and the bodies came flying.

When the other families saw these events... They were all frightened, they didn't hesitate and told all of their companions to retreat.

Of course, Kyle didn't let them... He flashed again and he arrived at the Zu ancestor.

"Your excellency! Have me-" he didn't get to finish his words and a punch landed on his body.

Kyle continued and did the same to the remaining ancestors. They saw the scene that happened to the Zu ancestor, so they didn't beg for mercy and prepared themselves.

But it was fruitless since once the punch landed, they couldn't even defend against it and they died on the spot.

It should be noted that Ximen Tsui, a 4th stage Xiantian, couldn't even handle a single attack against this transformed Kyle. What more can they do, when they couldn't even hold a candle against Ximen Tsui.

Strangely... When Kyle's attacks hit the ancestors, he felt something escaped his head and the remaining 1st stage Xiantian cultivators fell on the ground unconscious.

When Kyle saw this scen, he thought 'Haoshoku?' (Conqueror's Haki) but since he didn't know how he did it and he was busy at the moment, he just forgot about it for now and decided to think about it later.

He was not done after killing the three ancestors. He then proceeded to chase for the remaining heads that escaped with their flying soul weapons. This was a problem for Kyle since he still cannot fly, fortunately, the remaining head's hadn't escape very far yet.

So he used his Xiantian Ki and jumped towards them, he shooted to the sky like a missile and arrived at one of the heads.

He killed him in a second and proceeded to do this for the other heads. After jumping around in succession, he was now low in his Xiantian Ki reserves, remember... he was still a 1st stage Xiantian so the Ki in his reserves was not that high yet, hence he only used it sometimes.

Fortunately, he succeeded and killed the escapees. He doesn't want any witnesses or any info of him being scattered around the Beast Plains, so he really doesn't want anyone surviving.

These kind of guys were vicious and doesn't even blink an eye when killing the innocents, so he wasn't bothered in killing them.

Kyle then proceeded to hurry back to the training grounds. The other 1st stage Xiantians were only unconscious so he needed to come back before they woke up and escaped.

When he arrived at the training grounds, fortunately... the others were still in their unconscious state, so he proceeded to kill them.

Killing someone unconscious and defenseless left a bad taste in his stomach. But he knew the potential troubles they could create if he left them alive.

He knew that these were just the tip of the iceberg on what he will face in his future travels, so he resolved his self and kill them. He then proceeds to head towards to Ximen Tsui.

Ximen Tsui was now embedded to the ground. Blood was all over his body. He was coughing a lot of them while holding his stomach. He tried to escape, but the injuries hold him back.

Ximen Tsui looked at Kyle when he arrived and stared at him.

"Do you hate me?" Kyle asked him.

Ximen Tsui did not respond, or can't respond due to the injuries that he had taken, but he stared at Kyle fiercely with his eyes filled with hatred and anger.

"Of course you hate me, I ruined all your plans and ambition, I murdered your clansmen, but did you ever thought about those humans you have killed? Have you ever thought of what they felt when they got betrayed after you used them?" Kyle continued to ask him.

He knew that his words seem hypocritical, but he didn't care and continued to talk to Ximen Tsui.

"You have lived all your life in this kind of environment, so killing someone was as easy as butchering a pig for you. I'm no saint, but involving the innocent for your schemes is crossing the line for me. I can only hope for you to have redemption in the afterlife" then Kyle struck down and killed Ximen Tsui.

Kyle then deactivated his Pulse Gear state and proceeded to search for Ximen Tiaolong.

Ximen Tiaolong was calmed down by his grandfather a while ago and escaped when the other 1st stage cultivators started falling down.

He wasn't affected by Kyle's Haoshoku since he had a strong will, even since birth. So he took the chance to escape while Kyle was busy hunting the people from the other Sacred Families.

Kyle was hoping that Tiaolong didn't rush to escape, and was still waiting and hiding in the surrounding area, so he searched the area. But he failed to find him, so he searched for him outside the village.

--------------------

Outside the Ximen Village

A youth that was bloody all over his clothes was walking away from his home. This youth was Ximen Tiaolong. He touched the rings on his finger and muttered.

"Whoever you are, I'll find you once I master my *Dragon Steps* and I'll kill you with my own hands!!!" Ximen Tiaolong vowed with his eyes full of hatred.

He lost his home, his family, everything that he cares and love in a single day. The sadness that Ximen Tiaolong felt was to the extreme. He thought that his return from the forbidden ruins was a blessing and an opportunity for the rise of their Ximen Family.

Who would've thought that just as they were starting their path to the rise of their Family. A single youth... who was likely at the same generation as him, ruined their lifelong dream.

He was walking away from the village slowly, he was having second thoughts on running away from the fight. He wanted to fight to the death with his family, but his grandfather wanted him to survive and pave his own path for his future.

He could hear the sounds of explosion even when he was already far away from the battlefield, this made him a little bit scared, so he followed his grandfather's advice and slowly escaped from the battlefield.

He just fought an arduous battle against Chi during the tournament so he was very tired physically and mentally. This made his escape slower than the usual, but he was already quite far away from the village so this made him a little bit comforted and relaxed.

But this soon ended when he heard a loud crash in front of him *BOOM!!!*

A few meters ahead of him, Kyle arrived like a meteor that fell through the sky. The impact of his arrival made Ximen Tiaolong stumble and fell to the ground.

"Where do you think you are going?" Kyle asked him silently.

Ximen Tiaolong panicked when he saw the newcomer. He was thinking of ways on how to survive this kind of situation, but then again... The youth in front of him murdered his family to achieve his goal, so there's no way he could bullshit his way out of this. So he could only ask.

"Who... Who are you?" Ximen Tiaolong still had a hidden trump card to survive this situation. He was hoping that the young man would at least tell him his name before Kyle tries to kill him.

"Hmmmphh!!" Unfortunately... There wasn't any trace of Kyle showing his mercy towards him, or telling his name and Kyle directly arrive in front of him and punch him.

When Kyle's fist was just inches away from him, the necklace Ximen Tiaolong was wearing on his neck started to glow. A barrier-like shield then emerged from it, and it successfully shielded him from the punch. Kyle felt he was hitting on a huge wall. His power has been canceled when it touched the shield as if it didn't even damage it a bit.

Seeing this made Kyle pissed...

'Fck! Fck! Fck! Why the hell does this bastard have a plot-armor... Fck this!' Kyle thought and continued to barrage Ximen Tiaolong. But it was all a waste of time since all of his attacks were deflected by the shield around Ximen Tiaolong.

After ten minutes...

Kyle was still attacking the shield of Tiaolong, but it was useless. He then made a gamble and said.

"I'll let you live if you give me your Martial Skill" Kyle threatened him.

When Ximen Tiaolong saw the effect of his newly discovered treasure, he was in glee. He wasn't sure if this treasure that he got from the forbidden ruins would worked. Thankfully it did, or else he'll lose his life here. All of Kyle's attacks were useless against it. He was now starting to get confident. So when he heard Kyle's demand, he shrugged it off and ignored him.

He knew Kyle was getting desperate and he couldn't do a shit against his shield, so he didn't reply and ignored him. Seeing that his attacks were useless, Kyle left the area with a displease feeling.

Seeing that the young man left, Ximen Tiaolong was glad and continued to escape the area.

"I'll find you... Remember my words!!! AHHHHHH!!!!" Ximen Tiaolong then heard a shout.

When Ximen Tiaolong heard his shout, he laughed. "Hahahaha" he was happy, at least he made the young man suffered some defeat, despite losing all his family.

---------------------

Twenty minutes later...

Ximen Tiaolong was now in a forest. He had been running away for twenty minutes straight without rest. He wanted to escape as far as possible. He looked around and observed the surroundings. He could only see patches of trees all over the place.

*crack* he heard a cracking sound and he saw pieces of his necklace, broken and falling on the ground. The shield around him started to dissipate. Seeing this made Ximen Tiaolong decide to search for a place to hide and recover.

But before he could search for one. He felt someone clutched his neck and he was suddenly pushed and embedded to the ground. He tried to turn his head a little bit to see who was clutching him. He saw the youth with a black cloth covering his face. He started to dread when the realization hit him. he then heard a whisper.

"Goodbye" and a strong force hit his head and he died.
