Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: I’m Nothing Like Y’all

"Elder Mei, what is the meaning of this?" Elder Guo questioned, his sword pointing directly at Elder Mei’s throat. The courtyard had descended into chaos around them, with disciples fleeing in every direction and bodies of the fallen scattered across the ground.

"You actually colluded with outsiders to attack your own people," Elder Huang added, her blade steady as she flanked him from the other side. Her eyes burned with fury. "Martial Uncle treated you so well, and this is how you repay him?"

"Colluding?" Elder Mei’s lips curved into a smile. He threw his head back and erupted into laughter that echoed across the courtyard. The sound sent chills down the spines of the remaining disciples who watched from a distance.

Elder Guo and Huang exchanged nervous glances, their grip on their weapons tightening.

"Why would I need to collude with them?" Elder Mei wiped away a tear of mirth. "I was never one of you to begin with."

In the next heartbeat, his hands began channeling a dark, ominous energy that seemed to devour the surrounding light. Black mist swirled around his fingers, carrying the unmistakable taint of demonic cultivation.

Elder Guo’s eyes widened in disbelief. "You—you were actually a demonic cultivator from the start?"

Elder Mei’s smile only widened. "I hadn’t planned to reveal myself before getting the treasure, but who cares now?" The demonic energy around his hands intensified.

"Treasure?" Elder Huang followed his gaze toward the towering pagoda behind them. Realization dawned on her face. "You’re actually after the Heaven-Testing Pagoda?"

"Hmph." Elder Mei scoffed, the sound dripping with disdain. "What Heaven-Testing Pagoda? That’s clearly a treasure of our Wuming Cult ancestor’s making." His eyes gleamed with fanatical devotion. "The Demon-Sealing Tower."

He shook his head dismissively. "Well, there’s no point in educating you orthodox sect bastards."

Without warning, Elder Mei unleashed a vicious claw attack toward Elder Guo. Though the elder attempted to block, the demonic strike connected squarely with his chest, sending him flying backward through the air.

Elder Huang seized the opportunity to attack from behind, but Mei sensed her approach. He caught her sword arm mid-strike, then pivoted and hurled her like a ragdoll toward the already airborne Elder Guo.

Their bodies collided with a sickening thud before both crashed against the pagoda’s outer wall.

"Junior Sister, are you okay?" Elder Guo asked, cradling Elder Huang in his arms amidst the dust and debris.

A faint blush colored her cheeks before she quickly jumped to her feet, composing herself. Elder Guo attempted to rise but stumbled, coughing violently. A stream of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Elder Huang rushed to his side. "Senior Brother, are you okay? Did your injury relapse?"

Elder Mei approached them leisurely, his step unhurried, his laughter echoing in the courtyard. Elder Huang positioned herself protectively in front of Elder Guo, her sword raised despite her trembling hands.

"To think the sect genius has fallen to this state," Elder Mei mocked, looking down at Elder Guo with undisguised contempt. "This wouldn’t have happened if you had just minded your own business."
