The Martial Master - 95 An emperor.

Uneasiness sprouted as she eyed the phenomena with a dark expression. Though throughout this she didn’t stop refining that spell.

‘Strange.’

She felt a little anxious, so she tried to speed up. Her stern aura seethed, and her eyes began to glow a destructive gleam…

…

…

…

“You…”

Wen Mian, staring wide-eyed, gaped out a single word, but she found nothing that could describe what she was feeling. Li Wei, looking at her, could only sigh as he kneeled down and handed the manual to her.

His eyes gleamed an odd and oppressive blue as he did so, causing shivers to spike throughout Wen Mian’s body. She still caught the book, though, just with a jitter and a pale face.

Li Wei’s face remained placid as he caught this, deciding to sit down on the hard stone ground. He gazed out of the entrance of the chamber that was still broken, mumbling.

“I feel strange…”

His eyes narrowed as he stared at the ground, the trees outside, and the sky. He lifted his hand and tapped the stone beside him, and as he looked at the beautiful sunshine piercing streaks into the room, he waved such a hand through them.

Wen Mian’s face turned a little solemn as she watched his odd actions. Her breathing seemed to be stabilising, but she could feel a dense and somehow infinite power within Li Wei.

It was like an ocean, and she couldn’t see the depths of this massive lake…

Before he was powerful, but now something was different.

“All is an ocean…”

Whilst she was pondering Li Wei mumbled once more as his eyes seemed to gleam a terrifying light. The entire world shook for a second, but Li Wei didn’t seem to want to carry on as he removed his gaze and frowned.

What he didn’t notice was that a whoosh of nearly congealed blue aura had wafted out of him at this moment. It sped through the entire chamber and thrashed itself onto Wen Mian without care.

*THUD*

Li Wei’s expression changed as he heard a thud behind him. He turned around and saw a strange scene.

Wen Mian, with a trembling body, was flat on the ground with her face implanted in the ground. A springing crack and an indented crater had formed around her as if a massive object had pummelled her.

“Are you alright?”

Li Wei asked with a concerned face as he gazed at Wen Mian, who was firmly planted onto the floor like a mountain was atop her. She seemed to hear his question as she grasped with the floor with a shake and pulled herself out of her human-shaped crater.

Her hair was ruffled and a bit of rock dropped from her clothes, but she didn’t care as her dark face eyed Li Wei. Li Wei took a step back as he felt the air tighten around him, feeling bewildered.

‘Did I do that..?’

Wen Mian dusted her clothes as she gave Li Wei a glare; she didn’t say anything though, instead she grabbed the manual and began to cultivate in the corner of the chamber.

Li Wei, left standing there, drooped as he stared at his blueish body with annoyance.

‘All because of this… Body!’

He clenched his teeth as he turned around and appeared before the entrance of the chamber. Annoyance battered him as he gazed at the chamber, but this was soon replaced with shock.

‘What on earth?’

Before him, and all standing with a strange entrancement, numerous birds, small rabbits and beautiful beasts stared at him with their brutish eyes.

They didn’t move as Li Wei just stood there with an aching head. He could see that there were still more coming from a distance, and even then he had no idea if that was it.

But he still found getting stared at by so many living creatures a little irritating, so he attempted to scare them off by waving his hands at them and shouting.

“Shoo! Shoo you beasts!”

Of course, this did nothing of the sort.

They continued to stare, and Li Wei continued to get more and more annoyed. He frowned, and exerting some strength, he stomped his foot.

*BANGGG*

A boom akin to a thunderous crackle slapped the air and issued a blazing shockwave. The trees whistled with screeches, and the animals all got lifted off of the ground in a tsunami of air.

*WHOOOSH*

Cries of panic erupted in the forest as trees got tugged out of the hard mud, even boulders began to get propelled from the storm. Li Wei watched each and every animal got thrashed out of his sight; with this, all of the trees and any sort of shrubbery also left the proximity.

He could see that they had all got thrown off of the mountain’s ledge a couple kilometres or so away, which made him a little smug.

He grinned and roared.

“Hahaha! Don’t mess with this master here!”

His voice reverberated and brought a rumble as it spread out and into anyone’s ear within a 10-kilometre radius. However, as there was no longer any trees, Li Wei seemed to notice something as he shifted his gaze onto a spot to the left.

It was close to the ledge, and although he couldn’t see anyone, he could sense a strange aura permeating there. It was an aura that made him a little apprehensive, although he had no idea why.

He pondered as his eyes glistened and he took a light step. The world shifted as he appeared right at the spot, where he took a big whiff of the aura.

He licked his lips as he spoke with that hair-raising smile.

“Someone was here?”

He felt a little excited as he leapt into the sky and floated there with a haze of grey supporting him. His pupils tightened as the entire world reflected itself into his mind, attempting to find that aura.

A couple seconds passed as he began to scowl with disappointment, though he didn’t give up just yet as he waved his hands and yelled.

“If you won’t come out then I’ll force you! Hahaha! I can test this strange feeling I got now!”

A childish playfulness shrouded his voice as he cried, almost like this was a game. Of course, that wave he performed was something that would instigate despair onto most, as it seemed to shroud the entire ledge with an oceanic blue.

A dense, almost unquenchable aura emerged as a haze of watery mist encompassed the atmosphere and the ground. A vibrant vitality followed, and with this Li Wei’s demeanour changed.

A sense of dignity, an overwhelming majesty!

It bellowed, it writhed around him, and the world seemed to hymn with cries of devotion!

*WHOOOSH*

The sky crackled and the clouds got sundered as an unsurpassable azure strung itself around Li Wei. His aura became robust, and that obscure majesty cleared up.

*Wanggg*

His eyes lit with a ghostly fire of azure as two blinding circular halos formed on both his hands. They rotated around his palm, and they brought keen cries of draconic roars that froze the very space around him.

As these shimmered Li Wei felt that odd feeling magnify until it seemed to tell him something. His eyes shined a dangerous light, and with a slow clench, his right fist trembled as that halo surrounding it expanded.

*GUSH*

Then, with a sudden twist, reality distorted as the entire ground and everything within a kilometre radius churned before liquifying. And before it could even be comprehended, a mighty ocean roared tumbling waves around him.

For as far as he could see was this ocean, and as if the ocean was here form the beginning, sea creatures of all kinds leapt in and out the air from the ocean.

Li Wei giggled as he felt an unending stream of power encompass him, one telling him that this ocean could be moved with but a lift of his palm.

What was the ocean? One may underestimate it, but you’d surely be crushed by it if it came tumbling your way.

It is one of the mighty features of nature!

And so, within Li Wei’s gaze that seemed to verge onto something much more beastly, a king of beasts in fact, he spotted an odd occurrence not too far away.

This place seemed to be rather chaotic for no apparent reason, as huge ripples kept on echoing on the surface. Li Wei also noticed that these ripples seemed to be travelling away from him, which caused that grin to widen.

He laughed, then appearing above that certain area, he spoke.

“If you don’t reveal yourself then I’ll be forced to do it for you!”

The ocean seemed to resonate with his words as the entire world reeled. Then, with a disconcerting notion, everything seemed to lock onto that area. A frightening sensation spread around here, as if a massive wave could be set off with but a thought.

The atmosphere tightened and congealed like some sort of unending loop as Li Wei’s face began to frown. The ocean trembled with this frown and seemed to be ready to pounce right at that singular location…

“Wait..!”

Nevertheless, a distraught cry soon replied as a sweat riddled woman revealed herself above the tettering waves. Her eyes seemed to shake as she stared at Li Wei as if she was looking at a monster.

Li Wei seemed to be a bit jarred as he saw the sudden entrance of the woman, but he coughed and regained his composure. He, gazing at her, spoke with a serious face.

“Why were you so close to the chamber? Were you perhaps planning to attack Wen Mian again?”

He himself didn’t notice the strange mockery that was tinging his voice and expression right now. In fact, his personality seemed to be veering onto something much more quirky.

The woman noticed this mocking tone, and she trembled at the thought of what he was going to do. Still, she gulped and tried to remain calm as she replied.

“I enjoy cultivating in the tranquillity of nature.”

Li Wei frowned as he lowered himself to stand in front of her. The halos around his hands continued to emit draconic cries, and his flaming eyes seemed to have a depth that rivalled an ocean.

In fact, she seemed to have the illusion that she was facing the entire ocean right now, instead of a single man.

She took a step back as she found the pressure emanating from Li Wei to be suffocating. Though coupled with this was the strange all-seeing gaze of his, and it made standing excruciating.

Li Wei’s eyes narrowed as he seemed to sense something coming from her, causing his frown to deepen.

“You have a rather bothersome aura…”

He lifted his hand as he spoke, causing the woman to pale even further. She seemed to want to say something, but Li Wei didn’t care as he continued.

“Oh yeah, you were one of those people who came with that guy… Well, I hope you enjoy your flight. Hahaha!”

The woman’s face turned as she tensed her body and attempted to escape. But, somehow, the air seemed to become a thousand times denser as she barely moved.

‘He knows who I am!’
