"Dragon Sparrow Sword?" When Cesar saw the sword hovering in the air, his eyes narrowed.The smile on his face instantly dropped as he turned serious.Dragon Sparrow Sword was the top sword in the world. The person who owned it was the most prominent swordsman, the Sword Whisperer—Seth!"Why don't you show yourself, Mr. Hughes?" Cesar looked up and scanned his surroundings. His voice was like a resounding bell, echoing far into the distance.Soon, a man in white slowly emerged from the clouds. Finally, he stood on a rock and stared at Cesar.The man who was the Sword Whisperer—Seth!When Seth appeared, it was as if an immortal had descended onto Earth. Although he didn't look harmless, everyone was immediately drawn to him.Even Dustin and Nestor, who were engaged in a fierce battle, stopped fighting."Uncle Seth?" Dustin couldn't help but feel thrilled when he saw him.Seth was the most capable out of the three great generals of the Rhys family. He was also the one who taught

Cesar roared as he gathered his strength, knowing he would lose if he did nothing.The internal energy inside of him oozed out like a tide. It kept reinforcing the protective sphere and repairing the cracks.However, the golden blade grew stronger and stronger. The repaired cracks would appear once again. Cesar felt that a mountain was weighing down on him. He would be crushed to death if he couldn't bear the weight.At this moment, he finally realized how scary Seth's ability was."Boundless Zen! Borrowing the power of earth and heaven!" Seeing that he couldn't hold on for any longer, Cesar used his energy and blood to summon a mysterious technique.A vortex suddenly appeared on the surface of the protective shield when he stomped his feet. The vortex started to absorb the golden sword's terrifying strength rapidly.When the vortex absorbed enough power, it started to radiate golden light. Cesar gritted his teeth and pushed it upward. "Break!" he yelled.The golden sword su

Although the sword was still gathering power to unleash its attack, it already emitted a destructive power.It was obvious that the power of this attack was more fierce and terrifying than the last two.Cesar was so scared that he shook like a leaf. Goosebumps started to appear on his body.Cesar was overwhelmed with the fear of death."Why are you guys still hiding? Quickly come out and help!" Cesar used all his might to scream.His voice was like thunder. It rang throughout the mountains.Just as he finished shouting, a blue figure suddenly emerged from the north. Then, he rushed toward them at an incredible speed.At the same time, a black figure jumped out from the woods in the north. He turned into a dark mist and drifted over.As the blue figure approached, everyone realized he was a handsome middle-aged man.The man held a sword with an indifferent expression, exuding a chilling aura. Wherever he went, the plants around him would freeze.Even the ground he stepped on

Seth led the three martial artists on the Astonishing World List to a life-and-death battle at the mountain peak.Meanwhile, Dustin was still the center of attention at the foot of the mountain.However, Dustin felt much more at ease than having to feel Cesar's stare."Abigail, consume this tablet quickly."Dustin took the opportunity to create some distance between him and the enemies. Then, he moved toward the injured Abigail and gave her a tablet for healing.Abigail didn't hesitate and swallowed it.Her initial pale complexion soon flushed with color. Although she was not fully recovered, the pill helped her regain some of her energy."Sir, who is that man just now? He's so capable!" Abigail was curious."He's the Sword Whisperer, Seth Hughes," Dustin explained."What? He's the Sword Whisperer, Seth?" Abigail widened her eyes in shock and joy.Although it hadn't been long since she entered the martial world, she had also heard of Seth's name.Seth was someone even her gr

Dustin flicked his wrist as he got closer. Immediately, Celestial Blade exploded into thousands of sword shadows. Then, all of them rushed toward Nestor."Angry Ironfirst!" Nestor yelled. A golden light burst out from his body. Instantly, it formed a three-feet-tall Ironfirst illusion. The Ironfist illusion was like an armor protecting Nestor inside it.The sword shadows Dustin summoned slashed on the Ironfist illusion. However, it only sent sparks flying and did not manage to break it."You can't even break my defense. How are you going to kill me?" Nestor stood there with an arrogant and imposing aura.Without a word, Dustin continued to attack.As Celestial Blade slashed faster and faster, the sword shadows increased in numbers. When it collided with Ironfist illusion, both sides produced energy shockwaves that surged outward like waves.The energy shockwaves got larger and more powerful than the last.Nestor didn't just defend but also attacked back. His attacks were bold

Frost raised an eyebrow and answered, "Lost? Ever since I started practicing swordsmanship, I have never lost.""You're lucky. However, it's a shame at the same time." Seth shook his head. "The world consists of many things and a balance of opposites. There will be ups and downs in life. That's an unchanging rule. "If you never experienced failure, how could you comprehend the meaning behind the way of the sword?""Did you lose before?" Frost questioned."Of course not," Seth denied.Frost was rendered speechless. It seemed that Seth was just uttering nonsense.Seth had a mixed expression. "Although I've never lost a battle, I'm an utter loser as a person. "In my early days, I only focused on sword training. Thus, I neglected many people and let many people down. In the end, I became a lonely man. "Later, I hid my identity and lived a peaceful life in the fields. After I met someone I loved, I realized how beautiful life can be. Swordsmanship is way too boring.""Seth, I'

With just his sword, he broke through all layers of defense. The sky and the earth trembled, and all the soldiers fled the scene. Since that battle, the small town was formally renamed Frostbane Citadel. As for Frost Bane, he became the leader of the citadel. Until today, the residents of the citadel lived and worked happily and peacefully.Seth might have been famous, but he'd been living under the radar for the past decade. His past glory was long forgotten. Frost was living a completely different life as he trained and continued improving his skills with each passing day. As such, no one knew for sure who would win this battle."Martial artists will always be martial artists. They'll never look at the big picture. If you like to win this much, let's see what you've got."Cesar narrowed his eyes with a gloomy expression. He didn't care if Frost would die in the battle. All he cared about was for Frost to exhaust Seth's strength. It'd be helpful if Seth were exhausted from

A loud explosion could be heard. Frost's Starshine clashed vehemently with the Dragon Sparrow Sword.A huge wave of energy was generated when the tips of the swords collided. The surge of energy rippled outward and left a trail of destruction as it broke rocks and trees. The surrounding walls of the Scenic Monastery, which were located far away, started crumbling. The building shook in the wake of the energy ripple.At the base of the mountain, the crowd heard a loud explosion. When they looked up, they saw a bright ring of light in the sky. The sky turned dark as the sun was hidden behind the clouds. The people in that area could feel the terrifying pressure even though they were far from the battle. It was good that the battle was on the top of the mountain. If it had happened near the crowd, there would have been a lot of casualties.…Frost didn't stop after the first attack. Instead, he immediately followed up with another vicious attack. The first move was just to tes

"Langdon, I can't tell if you're playing dumb or if you really are that stupid." Though Austin was smiling, his eyes were cold. He continued, "You asked for physical evidence, and I provided it. You asked for witnesses, and I gave you those too. Now, with both evidence and testimony laid bare, and even the criminal confessing, what else do you want?""Hmph! The government is rife with corruption. I'm simply seeking justice and preventing you from wrongfully killing the innocent." Langdon still held his righteous stance.Some of the royal advisors who had initially supported him now stayed silent. They could sense Austin's rising anger and didn't dare provoke him further. At that instant, they had lost their confidence. As Austin had pointed out, the solid evidence was right before them, and it was impossible to deny.Langdon was a member of the Rhys family and Austin's elder. He could afford to speak without a filter, but the others couldn't. If they truly angered Austin, the

"Sir Thatcher? Mr. Wentworth?" When Langdon saw their faces, his eyes went wide in disbelief. "You… How did you two end up like this?" He was genuinely stunned.Huxley and Percival were two of the most powerful figures in West Lucozia. They commanded respect wherever they went, and even Langdon himself had to show them deference.He never expected that they had fallen from their positions of prestige to become disheveled prisoners overnight."Austin! You've gone too far!" Recovering from his initial shock, Langdon's fury erupted. He didn't even bother with titles anymore. "Do you even realize what you're doing? These two men are pillars of West Lucozia and the prince's most trusted advisors. They're your elders and mentors. Yet, you tortured them like this. Are you even human?""He's right," someone chimed in. "They dedicated their lives to this country. What crime did they commit to deserve such cruelty by Your Highness?"The gathered officials erupted in outrage and condemned

"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple
