Chapter 468 Brim
"Bzzzzz, crack, booom"
The air crackled and shook as a white figure shot through the air and though already invisible to nearly the entire world given the speed the figure was going at, from time to time, the person's body would fade away, seeming to have disappeared, but then it would reappear safe and sound.
Listening to Seth, Basco and Alice had gone in pursuit of the last remaining overseer, after all, there was no way the other one was getting away from Seth.
Knowing that they needed to catch up to her, it was easy for the ex-lovers to agree to have Basco, who was the fastest, leave Alice behind and go after the woman while Alice came speeding from the back.
Though it was dangerous to send Basco alone considering his opponent was an overseer, it was a risk the duo had to take if they wanted to catch up to her.
Pushing his dantian to the best he could, Basco had his body and qi pathways saturated with qi as he made use of his White Lightning.
Covering himself with his white crackling armour, Basco made himself one with the lightning, and several minutes after he had gone in pursuit, looking from afar, he could see the white-haired old woman hanging up in the air and looking down.
"Damn, she decided it's better to deal with me and be in her way than tolerate a tail," Basco grimly thought.
If Seth were taken out of the equation, Basco would never be in this position until the day he himself became an overseer but now, what could he do?
After giving his orders, Seth had run off not giving Basco the chance to plead his case, and though the man did truly think about defying Seth's orders, his fear of his psychopathic progenitor kept him going.
"Well, I'm here now, might as well hold her till Alice arrives," Basco thought, smiling mirthlessly at the fact that a time had come when he actually needed Alice's help.
Keeping in mind that he needed Alice to be there with him, Basco began rapidly reducing his speed, wanting to delay the encounter as much time as possible, but it seemed he overestimated his opponent's thoughts about him.
While he was still a distance away, the old woman lifted her right palm and out in a praying position, and then, looking straight at the approaching Basco, her qi exploded out of her, and with its vigorous exit, a green hue began surrounding her.
At first, Basco thought it was a kind of protective technique, but then the green hue around the old woman expanded to about five meters, and then within a second, it rapidly moved in front of her, took the shape of a normal bird, and without any other fancy move, flapped its wings and shot at Basco.
With his soulsense fully active, and even without it, Basco could feel the powerful qi within the green bird flying at him.
Basco could feel the air around the apparition trembling, and then the space around it seemed to bend and want to break, but before fear could corrupt him, he felt the old woman turn and begin shooting away after dishing out that attack.
"How dare she," Basco raged within, for her to release an attack and then turn to leave showed how little the woman thought of him.
Although Basco accepted that he wasn't her match, after all he had been through, he refused to be treated with such disregard.
At first, his speed had reduced, but with a burst of lightning, Basco quickly got back into the game and shot towards the homing attack.
A huge white hand fan appeared in his hand, and just as he was about to be hit by the green apparition, there was a sky-shaking explosion.
Within a second, the sky was lit up in a green light, every single cloud in proximity blasted apart, and the air tainted with green spreading all around.
Several seconds passed after the explosion, but there was no sign of human life.
Other than the heat which permeated the air and the chaotic airflow, the sky was devoid of life forms and as for the male supreme who was supposed to have been there, he was sporting a mad grin in another area as he held the long handle of his hand fan in hand and smashed it against an old woman.
"Booooomtzzz"
Being an overseer, despite Basco's sudden appearance above her, Maggy had been able to erect a barrier above herself just at the last second, but unfortunately, that was far from enough to help her negate even half of Basco's attack.
Like a tennis ball, Maggy was sent shooting down from the sky with a sharp instant explosion, her sailing body smashing into the ground within seconds, and then there was another explosion.
Showing no remorse for his actions against an elderly woman, Basco stood floating in the sky, grinning as he looked below. Though there were beads of sweat leaving his head and blood trickling down his nose, he instead lovingly stared at the white fan in his hand.
Basco twirled around the fan in his hand with such gentleness, that if Dorian was here, she would definitely raise hell on whether her husband had fallen in love with an object over her.
"Brim, let's keep you away for now. If things get bad, I'll call you again."
The white lightning was Basco's trump card, but that didn't mean the lightning was all there was to it.
Just like Seth had said, there was more to his white lightning, and though he knew he was still ignorant of a lot, Brim was a sign that he was on the right track.
As a weapon that came from his white lightning, Brim was Basco's greatest weapon and at this point his trump card.
"Depending on how all this goes, Brim might be my only trump card given how Seth keeps putting me in situations where I have to fight cultivators that I shouldn't be fighting."
"You're all alone, are you sure you want to fight me." A light, curt, and soft voice said, and though the tone was melodious to Basco, that didn't stop a shiver from going through him as his entire body felt like it was being watched by a predator, a predator from down below.
