Elsa stood dazed in place.She stared at Michael, who had collapsed on the ground, already lifeless, her eyes trembling uncontrollably.Even now, Elsa could not accept it—her son had just died right in front of her!"I... I will fight you to the death!"In the next moment, Elsa suddenly lifted her head, her face contorted, her eyes wide with rage as she rushed towards Liam. "I'll make you bury my son!"You damn, knife-wielding b*stard, I will kill you!"Her hoarse cries echoed throughout the villa's living room."You're so desperate... want to die?"Seeing this, Liam lowered his head and looked at Elsa below."I..."Upon hearing Liam's words, Elsa trembled, suddenly snapping back to her senses.Although Michael's death left her heartbroken, Elsa was not ready to die—she had not lived enough yet!She could not possibly want to die!Elsa immediately stopped in her tracks."Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! My son is dead! That's enough! I don't want to die!
"I'll give you a hint."Liam gave a faint smile, but there was no emotion behind it. "Your grandfather, Arkem, sent someone to South City to find me, didn't he?""South City…"Andy froze for a moment.The next moment, his body trembled, and his eyes widened in shock. "You... you're that... Liam Burrey?!"Although Yaksha had brought Godfrey's body to Juneau to meet Arkem in secret, with very few people knowing about it, over time, the news eventually spread through the Nosh family.Not to mention, Arkem had directly sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths to South City.The sudden disappearance of Arkem's trusted aides, who had always been by his side, was bound to raise suspicion.Most importantly, the severed arm of Yaksha had not returned to South City but remained in Juneau with the Nosh family.Through his daily, hate-filled rants, many members of the Nosh family in Juneau had learned the name of the person who killed Godfrey — the mysterious Liam from South City!However, unlike
During all of this, Andy stood still, not moving at all. Even when the guests scattered in panic, he did not say a word.His muscles were tense, appearing calm on the outside, but in reality, he was extremely nervous!The reason was simple.His grandfather had sent Monochrome Duo Wraiths to the South City for a mission, but they had not completed it and returned to Juneau.Instead, their target had found him without any effort, calm and composed!Although Andy still could not believe that advanced martial arts Masters like Monochrome Duo Wraiths could not handle an unknown young man, the situation in front of him was already speaking for itself!Andy had no idea what had happened at that time. But he was sure that the young man standing before him, with his handsome looks, was not someone to be underestimated.Thus, Andy was fully alert!It was not just Andy.Inside the villa, there were also other members of the Nosh family who had not fled.Or rather, after what Liam had sa
"Dead?"Andy froze for a moment, a flash of surprise flickering in his eyes!He simply could not believe that the two of them, Monochrome Duo Wraiths—who were considered top-tier martial arts masters—could be killed by this young man right in front of him!"It's absurd!"The next moment, a mocking expression appeared on Andy's face. "Although I don't know how you managed to escape the pursuit of Monochrome Duo Wraiths, and still dared to come to Juneau to find us."But for someone who's come to die like you, I'm actually quite satisfied."He sneered and said, "Speak, how do you want to die?""Since all the members of your Nosh family are here." Liam imitated Andy's tone, showing a smile as he spoke, "Speak, how do you want to die?""You ignorant brat, you still dare to talk arrogantly!"Seeing this, the elder standing in front of Andy's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.Boom—In the next moment, his body paused sharply and, like a tiger descending from the mountain,
Since Liam's release from prison, he has encountered some martial artists.But without exception, all of these martial artists possessed skills that were of the lowest caliber.Moreover, the opinions of the Hestian people on traditional Hestian martial arts once made Liam think that, like traditional Hestian medicine, ancient martial arts in Hestia had long been lost to time.After all, in the Central Military District, where Gabriel is based, only a few people still know about Hestian martial arts!But Liam never expected that, this time in Juneau, he would witness the Eight Trigrams Combined Strike!It seems that the state of ancient Hestian martial arts is not as he had initially thought, already lost!"Hmm?"The moment he heard Liam's words, Mister Quentin in front of him suddenly froze, his previous movements becoming stiff!He had never imagined that Liam would directly expose the Nosh family's secret martial art!You see, the foundation of the Nosh family's power in Jun
But this is fine. With Liam's corpse in tow, I can go and seek credit from Grandpa!However, just at this moment...Clang—A cold gleam suddenly flashed before Liam's body.Without any obstruction, this gleam, carrying boundless sharpness, sliced through the air from the mighty tiger roaring in the sky!Ow—In an instant, the tiger, which had been roaring in the sky, emitted a howl like a defeated dog.It did not have time to react before it was split in half!At the same time..."I..."Mister Quentin and the dozens of internal martial artists beside him all shuddered simultaneously.Mister Quentin and the others struggled to lift their heads to look at Liam again. They opened their mouths but could not utter a sound.Then...A faint red line appeared on their foreheads.The next moment...Poof—With a muffled sound, the faint red line suddenly spread.Including Mister Quentin, the dozens of martial artists were instantly split in half, just like the tiger in the sky!
Andy was also a martial artist.Although he was just a master of internal energy, as the eldest grandson of the Nosh family, Andy had quite an expansive outlook!But even so, he could not see through the woman standing next to Liam, let alone determine her true strength!The more he tried, the more fear filled his heart.One strike!Just one strike!It shattered the confidence he had carried with him all this time!Andy had once heard Yaksha say that Liam was accompanied by a bodyguard of extraordinary strength. At the time, Andy had dismissed it completely.He even joked with Yaksha, saying that if given the chance, he would definitely try to have some fun with this so-called bodyguard of Liam!But after today's events, Andy realized just how ridiculous his previous thoughts had been!A woman so stunning and breathtaking, almost like a demoness—how could someone like him ever have the right to be involved with her?The more he thought about it, the greater the fear in his h
"Yes! My grandfather has always been here!"Hearing Liam's words, Andy nodded repeatedly, his face filled with terror as he nervously asked, "I've already told you where my grandfather is.""You... can you spare me..."Andy begged incessantly."If the black and white messengers sent by your Nosh family had encountered me, an ordinary person, do you think they would spare me?"Upon hearing this, Liam lowered his head to look at Andy."I..."Andy's body trembled violently, and he let out a hoarse scream, crying out loudly, "Please, I was wrong, really! Please spare me..."He truly wanted to survive."When your Nosh family decided to send someone thousands of miles just to kill me, you should have already anticipated everything that is happening now."Liam's voice was emotionless.The next moment, a cold gleam suddenly flashed.Thud—There was a dull sound, and Andy's head immediately rolled off."Ah!"At that moment, the entire hall of the villa was filled with a series of
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
