Chapter 1675

Author: Marina Vittori
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

    A loud buzz could be heard as a gigantic ice sword came out slowly from the middle of the Hexagonal Formation. The ice sword was twelve feet long and five feet wide. It brought terrifying chills to those near it. It was as if it was a sword from the depths of hell.The coldness spread quickly, and in one breath, it had already reached a few hundred feet away. Everything in its way was frozen. Even strong fighters like Cesar and Elder Shade shivered involuntarily when the cold air swept over them."What technique is this? I've never seen this before!" Cesar looked bewildered. Frost's ice sword wasn't derived from his internal energy. Instead, it was brought into existence through the formation. As such, it was very powerful and could potentially destroy the earth. It was likely that even the Sword Whisperer couldn't withstand attacks from this sword."This sword is called the Destroyer. I've maintained this sword in extreme cold for eight years with the sole purpose of defeat

    After the explosion, it was chaotic at the base of the mountain. However, it was eerily silent on top of the mountain. When the dust settled, the whole top of Quandary Mountain was bald. It was as if a typhoon had torn through the top. The Scenic Monastery was nothing but rubble, and most of the plants were uprooted.Even Cesar and Elder Shade, who were observing from the side, had to retreat further to avoid the aftermath of the explosion. At this moment, Seth stood quietly in the middle of the mountaintop. The Dragon Sparrow Sword glittered and floated in front of him.A few yards away, Frost's shimmering blue sword was stuck to the ground while he looked very pale. The skin between his thumb and index finger was slashed open, and fresh blood dripped onto the rock. His arms were trembling involuntarily."Frost Bane, you've lost," Seth said casually."Your sword skills are amazing, but unfortunately, you're still not too weak.""Who said I lost?" With a determined look,

    When the swords collided, Frost's crimson sword exploded into a bloody mist. As for Frost, he lay several feet away with a pale face and blood trickling out from the corner of his mouth.The Dragon Sparrow Sword was sent flying far away in a different direction as well. It then got stuck in a huge rock."Great! Now's our chance!" Cesar's eyes lit up when he saw that the Dragon Sparrow Sword was out of control temporarily. He quickly launched his attack without any delay. He put an arrow to his bow and channeled his internal energy into the arrow. The arrow turned black, emitting a black light and extreme chills surrounding it.As it quickly gathered momentum, the black arrow was transformed into a sharp black light as it was aimed at Seth's chest. It was a fast and deadly shot. There was no warning, and it was fired at the right time. It could be said that it was the perfect sneak attack."Let's see how you can dodge this!" Cesar snickered cruelly. Seth might be the Sword

    "Alaric?" Seth's eyes widened as the fiery red spear pierced the sky. In an instant, he recognized the silhouette of the unexpected visitor. The attack had a startling speed, catching Seth off guard. Unable to summon his Dragon Sparrow Sword in time, he had to resort to using his finger as an improvised blade against the incoming fiery red spear.A thunderous collision reverberated through the air. His fingertip met the spearhead, and it released a powerful wave of energy that rippled outward. The entire scene seemed to freeze at that moment, adding a dramatic intensity. Seth held his arm up. Then, a golden sword rippled as it emanated from his fingertip in defiance of the fiery red spear. A luminous spectacle unfolded as the golden sword rippled. The fiery red spear clashed, forming circles of energy that emitted a radiant glow. At the spear's shaft stood a white-haired older man with crimson eyes, poised on the weapon as though it were an extension of him. His gaze bore do

    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

    "This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

    "Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and

    Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

    If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

    Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

    The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

    "You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time.
