Liam's stubbornness made Dianne furious!She wanted to see just how Liam planned to get himself killed!Seeing this, Liam could only shake his head helplessly.But knowing that no matter what he said, Dianne wouldn't believe him, he didn't bother explaining.Soon, Liam and Dianne arrived near Sky Harmoney Villa. From a distance, they could see the inner city of Juneau, with its centuries-old city walls standing tall.Sky Harmoney Villa was situated right at the foot of these walls.Reaching this place meant they had officially stepped into the heart of Juneau!Despite its name, Sky Harmoney Villa wasn't an actual manor. Instead, it was an elite residential district composed of interconnected courtyard houses, with no defined walls or gates.After all, ordinary people could never set foot here!The name 'Sky Harmoney' was coined by a renowned feng shui master, who determined that the geography of this area was ideal for gathering energy.And indeed, this place was worthy of be
"Li… Liam…"Dianne hurriedly ran up to Liam, grabbing his arm as she gasped for breath. "We should head back first," she urged."Since Sky Harmoney Villa can be entered and exited freely now, we can take some time to prepare. Even if we really want to kill Arkem, our chances of success will be much higher if we plan carefully instead of acting on impulse!"Dianne was serious.It was clear that under Liam's influence, and now that they could come and go from Sky Harmoney Villa freely, she was truly considering the possibility of killing Arkem.However, such a thing required meticulous planning!Acting recklessly like Liam had today was definitely not an option."No need."Just then, Liam's calm voice rang out."We're already here.""Here?"Dianne froze upon hearing this. She lifted her head and looked ahead.Unknowingly, they had already reached the depths of Sky Harmoney Villa. They now stood in front of a grand estate, adorned with intricate carvings, towering walls, and a
No wonder no one stopped them when Liam and she entered the Sky Harmoney Villa—it turned out they had already been marked from the moment they stepped in!But how did Liam figure it out?And why would just the two of them attract such a grand setup?Dianne turned her head, her eyes trembling as she looked at Liam.No matter what was going on, one thing was certain: they were trapped.There was a very real chance they were going to die here.Just then—Bang!The heavy copper-clad gates of the Nosh family's old residence suddenly swung open.At the same time, a voice filled with authority, yet laced with fury, rang out from within."I never thought you'd be audacious enough to take things this far!"Standing beneath the courtyard's central skylight, Arkem glared at Liam with undisguised hatred. "You killed my grandson, Andy, and now you've come straight to Sky Harmoney Villa to find me?"Liam shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm busy. Naturally, I have to make good use
Gulp—Dianne swallowed softly.Everything before her was utterly shocking!So, Andy was really dead!Dianne simply could not comprehend how Liam had accomplished all of this in such a short time!Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Liam's voice rang out again."Are you coming in with me?"He stopped, turned to look at Dianne, and asked, "Or would you rather wait at the entrance for a while?""I..."Hearing Liam's words, Dianne trembled slightly, suddenly snapping back to reality.She lifted her head, her eyes shaking as she surveyed her surroundings.On the surrounding walls, nearly a hundred imposing figures stood tall. And within the Nosh family's old residence, who knew how many other threats lay hidden?The fact that Liam was able to kill Andy proved he was extraordinary, with remarkable strength.But that was all!No matter how powerful he was, he could not possibly take on the entire Nosh family.Moreover, by killing Andy, Liam had clearly startled the snake in t
"Of course, I'm here to kill you."Hearing these words from Arkem, Liam lifted his head and calmly replied."You came to Juneau just to kill me?"Arkem frowned sharply at his response."Why else?"Liam's gaze remained indifferent. "You sent people to South City to kill me. Am I not allowed to come to Juneau to find you?""You…"Arkem was momentarily stunned. He had never expected such a response from Liam.Liam had traveled all the way from South City to Juneau—just for this one reason?"Then have you ever wondered why Monochrome Duo Wraiths have yet to return to Juneau, and why I haven't sent more people to South City?"Arkem let out a heavy sigh. "That's because the Nosh family only makes a move once. No matter the reason, if a mission fails, and Monochrome Duo Wraiths do not return, then the Nosh family will never make another move against you!"He fixed his gaze on Liam."And how is that my concern?"Liam asked, puzzled."No one is coming after you anymore—that means
"You…"Hearing Liam's words, Arkem's gaze darkened instantly.He had not expected this.The young man before him actually dared to say such things!Spare the Nosh family? Liam sure had the audacity to say that. Arkem had made this choice after weighing the pros and cons—it wasn't a plea for mercy!However, before he could respond, Liam's voice rang out once more."Sparing you is impossible."He glanced at Arkem and shook his head lightly. "If I were to let you go just like that, wouldn't my trip to Juneau be in vain?"You dared to send people to South City to find me, so you should've expected me to come to Juneau for you. Sparing your Nosh family is negotiable, but there's one condition—you must die."Liam's voice carried not a shred of emotion."What…"Seeing what was unfolding before her, Dianne's eyes widened sharply, and a flicker of shock flashed through them!If, at the beginning, she had been astonished by Liam's extraordinary strength upon learning that he was trul
Arkem had been alerted.However, his response was not what Liam had initially expected—he did not immediately seek revenge for Andy by any means necessary!Instead, the shrewd and calculating Arkem promptly mobilized the remaining guards of the Nosh family and retreated to their ancestral residence. He had already made preparations in advance to ensure their safety.This was one of the key factors that gave Arkem confidence.He did not wish to escalate the conflict with Liam, not out of fear, but to protect the Nosh family from suffering excessive losses!After all, the Nosh family had dominated Juneau for decades—how could they possibly fear a mere young upstart?"Hmm?"Sensing the situation around him, Liam raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.The number of martial artists in Juneau was far greater than he had initially anticipated.First, there was the Eight Trigrams Formation technique.Now, there were so many advanced martial arts Masters!It see
The sudden change in circumstances made Dianne freeze in shock.It was not just Dianne—everyone present, who had been rushing toward Liam, the martial artists, suddenly halted in their tracks. They stopped dead, and their gazes toward Liam were filled with intense caution, as though facing a formidable enemy.In martial arts, the combination of aura and momentum is paramount.The martial way also has a saying: the one who presses forward will win!This means that martial artists, regardless of their level or rank, are influenced by their own momentum. And just now, when nearly a hundred martial artists charged at Liam, it was when their momentum was at its peak.Under the combined force of their group attack technique, the internal energy of the martial artists was far stronger than before.At this stage, the attack was incredibly fierce!Not to mention, the bald man was originally a advanced martial arts Master!Yet, this overwhelming, tiger-like attack was actually cleaved in
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
