Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-178

Philip looked at them with that mischievous smile. Well, he learnt to open up but that doesn't change the fact that he wants to see the world burn it is just instead watching others burning the world, he decided to take the task upon himself.

Jack and Philip moved at the same time.

The remaining staff are inside the formation while Kelly is with them as guard. Even though, these staff are also cultivators they are not suitable or well-versed in combat.

They only know how to use their cultivation to cook.

In short, they are of no use in this situation.

They all looked as the ten people surrounded Jack and Philip.

"How many times, do you guys need a lesson? Can't you be more obedient and stay put? After all, with your status do you really want to reach more than you should? You are not worthy of the future endeavours this competition provides."

The one who is leading the team said this.

Jack and Philip didn't bother to answer. These condescending fools are usually thick skulled. It is hard to get through. They are busy fighting with the opponents and just as the leader finished the words, a body flew towards him as he narrowly dodged.

Philip looked at him and smirked. But his hands and legs are moving as he battled another subordinate.

This time, Philip threw a rapid flurry of punches. All the people around them could see liquid metal drops flying around and the skin being slowly exposed as the cloths burnt to ashes.

The remaining people who were about to attack stopped in their tracks involuntarily.

They could see the liquid metal seeping into the skin of the limbs of their companion.

"AHhhhhhhh…

"Noooo…"

"A"

Various painful groans are coming out of that person's mouth. Philip finally caught that person by hand and threw him towards the leader.

When the body landed, they could see a layer of red coloured metal being solidified on the limbs. They couldn't help but shudder at the ruthless move.

All his body parts are intact, his spiritual core is left untouched but he cannot get up and walk at all.

Even if he undergoes a surgery, there is a high chance that it would be unsuccessful.

What can the healers do?

They cannot pick out the metallic layer directly. If it is only on the outer layer, they might still have a chance, but if the liquid metal seeped into the pores and reached the muscle fibres, things are extremely tricky.

They have to sever the limbs and regrow them again. But will the noble families willing to spend a bomb on a subordinate?

One could wonder about this issue.

While they are in daze of Philip's attack. The second group of three which went after Jack are not faring well.

Jack swung his sword at the punch that is coming his way.

The black meteorite sword sliced through the fist as it cut along the whole hand until it reached the shoulder.

The whole arm was cut along into two. One piece still attached to the body and other on the group.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...............….."

There is a cry full of pain and agony which attracted their attention towards Jack.

Jack's face was furious, he must have had a lot of pent up frustration. After all, in the exact same situations they encountered previously he had to take a lot of heat.

He cannot kill in the city to end the fight, even if he claims it as self-defence, the other party has authority in their hands and he wouldn't be able to escape.

For him killing is a lot easier than pulling punches and when facing ten or more people at a time and when the ten people are also considered as elites, the situation is a lot more troublesome as he would be on complete defensive as he had an obligation to save the staff.

Now, he can finally let loose. When he recalled how Philip changed after Sam's beating, he kept on wondering if he should have beaten him up before.

But after watching Philip fight, he wasn't so sure anymore.

The subordinates are soon dealt with, but the remaining five noble kids are still here, just as they were about to make a run for it, they saw Philip activating a formation disc. This is a kind of restriction formation it creates a boundary which will not allow the people inside to go out and people outside to go in.

Philip borrowed these formation discs from Watt. As for where Watt got them it is obvious.

When the noble kids saw this, their hearts sank. There are only two ways to get past this situation and one if find the loopholes in the formation for which they need a lot of formation knowledge.

The second one is breaking the formation disc which is same as attacking Philip and Jack.

"I will take a look at the formation; you guys stall for time."

One of the five who seemed to be a formation master spoke and started observing the formation. From the energy it is emitting it is quite obvious that this is a rank-2 formation so he was quite confident.

But after looking at the nodes that are formed temporarily, he was quite confused. As he was trying to decipher the nodal structure of the formation suddenly, he felt a shift in energy and the nodes of the formation shifted.

He was stunned in the spot. He didn't know what just happened. Meanwhile, the group confronting Jack and Philip didn't make a move.

Since, their two opponents are just standing there without making any move they also didn't do anything. After all, they knew they are not the opponents for the duo and they are quite content if there is no fight at all.

As for why Philip and Jack are relaxed and didn't make a move, they are quite confident they wouldn't be able to get out at all.

After all, they are seeing Sam up close. That guy never left a loop hole in anything he did. They might be making things, destroying things, plotting against others, everything. He always thought of all possible scenarios and he also thought of all kinds of possible solutions for every scenario.

Unless the opponent is smarter than him in terms of thinking about plans and plots they wouldn't beat his scheme.

So, a person like that, could he possibly miss the loopholes in the formations.

Sam made sure that on the same level formations his formations would be unbeatable.

If he used the formation flags, there would be many layers that breaking through would sap out the other party's energy.

As for formation discs, Sam's hundreds of experiments aren't in vain. He made sure that nodes wouldn't stay in the same spot for more than ten seconds. If other party can break it in ten seconds, he would take his hat off.

Philip and Jack actually tried to go through this formation after they got if from Watt, they didn't know how to decrypt a formation so they tried brute force at the nodes which is the simplest way but also which gives some backlash to the person.

But they tried it anyway as for why they did it, Philip is the perpetrator.

The ending is that they got serious backlash even after all kinds of trails. They tried in many ways but they mostly last at the first challenge that is pinpointing the node's weak point.

After watching their futile attempts, Watt said that no one in the Novice stage could break through the formation.

So, at this present moment they are quite relaxed.

The four noble kids have some hope and felt relived after seeing the Philip and Jack didn't make a move but when there is no response from their teammate, they looked at him running around the formation with a distressed expression which made them feel the despair.

"What are you doing?"

The team leader asked with a frown, He is panicking inside but he is still trying his best to hide it.

"I cannot do this. This formation is strange."

The man who is responsible for deciphering the formation said as he stopped moving and slumped on the ground.

*Cough* *Cough*

Everyone turned their attention to Philip as he coughed.

Seeing his wicked smile, the team leader said.

"You better let us go, you don't know what you would face if you do anything to us. Our families are the ones who have authority here, even if you are a genius you will not go unscathed."

Philip didn't say anything and just looked at him with same wicked smile.

The leader just went on rambling in panic.

"You better let us go."

"You have to leave us, or you would be in trouble." Soon his threats became pleading.

"Please let us go."

"Please at least let me go."

"What do you want to let me go?"

Philip finally responded. "Now we are talking business."
