"What's going on!"Noticing the situation, even Benedict, who had been charging towards Bluebird, suddenly froze!He quickly turned his head to look behind him.At this moment, Benedict noticed that Arkem, who had just been protected by them, had transformed into a completely different figure!The guards of the Nosh family had formed a Eight Trigrams Formation, surrounding Arkem in the center.As the aura surged, Arkem, whose back had been bent due to old age, was now standing tall!His once wrinkled face even appeared to show traces of his younger self. The loose skin all over his body had tightened up!In that instant, the previously frail and withered Arkem had regained some of his middle-aged vigor and appearance!However, what shocked Benedict the most was the aura emanating from Arkem's body.Previously, Arkem had given the impression of being weak, incapable of even lifting a chicken. Now, his body was radiating an incredibly powerful warrior's aura. The fierce momentum
Under the joint attack of the three parties, the only path left for Bluebird was death!"What..."Looking at everything around her, a tremor flickered in Bluebird's eyes!Because she knew that if it were not for Arkem's sudden burst of strength, she might have still been able to hold her ground against the Bastion Squad.But now, she had no chance left!Not only was she caught off guard by Arkem's sudden outburst of powerful strength, but the timing of his move was also perfect!All of this...It felt like it had passed slowly!But in reality, only a few moments had passed!In those brief moments, the situation had already changed dramatically!"I..."Seeing everything before her, Dianne, who was standing at the back and had been shocked just a moment ago, finally showed a hint of panic on her face. She quickly turned her head, looking anxiously at Liam.In fact, after Bluebird unleashed her astounding strength earlier, Dianne had been in extreme shock.She never imagined
"Hmm?"Benedict's body suddenly stiffened.The faint sigh that suddenly echoed was incredibly subtle, but for some reason, Benedict heard it very clearly.It was not just Benedict.Everyone present, including the imposing Arkem, also clearly heard that sigh!The sudden sound seemed to resonate directly in their minds.Everyone froze, turning to look in the direction from which the sound had come.When they saw Liam, their faces immediately darkened!A coldness flashed through Benedict's eyes, as he knew that the direction the Bluebird had been looking at earlier seemed to be towards Liam."Damned thing!" Benedict's voice was icy. "If you want to die, don't rush it. Let us handle the Bluebird first, and then it'll be your turn!"Even though Liam could make the Bluebird willingly act as a bodyguard, which likely meant he was not an ordinary person, Benedict did not care.Because once they dealt with the Bluebird, no matter what background Liam had, he would only have one end—d
Liam remained silently standing beside him.The bullets that had been shot just now, carrying an incredibly fierce momentum, stopped just an arm's length behind Liam.It was as if an invisible wall had blocked the countless bullets!The bullet heads kept stubbornly rotating, seemingly attempting to break through.But in the end, they all failed, unable to move forward even a single step!The bullets, frozen in mid-air, resembled countless shining stars!This scene…. It could only be described as breathtaking!However, in Benedict's heart, he knew all too well the significance behind this stunning sight!At the same time, Benedict finally understood the meaning behind the gaze that Bluebird had cast toward Liam when she was about to face death!Bluebird was not worried about dying!She knew there would be no accidents for her!Because the truly powerful person was never Bluebird, but the man she was protecting as a bodyguard!And it was at that moment that Benedict suddenl
No one had expected the scene before them.No one had expected that the young man, protected by the Bluebird, would possess such power!Despite this, Liam's aura was nonexistent, but everyone present could feel the intense, overwhelming fear that filled the air!The cold corpse of Benedict already spoke volumes!Now, they finally understood why Liam was so confident and dared to venture alone to Juneau to find the Nosh family!They also finally understood why Liam had said earlier that he did not want to waste time!The martial arts Ascendant, Bluebird, had made the first move when facing them, not because Liam was powerless, but because, to Liam, everything just now was not worth him lifting a finger!At that moment, Liam raised his head, his gaze landing on Arkem."I…"Seeing this, Arkem trembled suddenly, a look of extreme fear written on his face as if he was about to speak.However, he was not given the chance to speak.Because in the next instant, Liam had already appe
The collision between the two was terrifying!However, just in the next moment…"Bang!"With a loud crash, Arkem's body was sent flying backward, as though hit by a truck!Even though he had regained his peak physical condition, he was still completely unable to withstand the earlier impact. Arkem's fist, along with his arm, had completely shattered! His clothes couldn't bear the impact either and were shredded, revealing his body, which was covered in deep cracks and mangled flesh!Arkem simply could not endure the force of a single finger from Liam!Under the immense shock, his meridians had already ruptured, and his body was like a deflating balloon, with internal energy spilling out uncontrollably!However, compared to the utterly disheveled Arkem, Liam stood there gracefully, his face calm, completely unaffected, not even moving a muscle.Watching Arkem fly backward, Liam narrowed his eyes slightly.The next moment, his body flickered and appeared beside the continuously
Countless times.When Liam lifted him up and slammed him heavily onto the ground, Arkem had thought, more than once, that he just wanted to die.That's right.He was not thinking about passing out anymore.Arkem wanted to die. After going through all of this, his naturally cautious and life-valuing nature made him only want death!However, Arkem once thought that the easiest and quickest way to solve this was death, but it was far beyond his reach!Because every time Arkem reached his limit, a strange force would surge from Liam's hand, bringing life and vitality back to Arkem, who was already on the verge of exhaustion!In fact, compared to Liam's unbelievable power, this was what made Arkem feel even more fear and despair!The ability to bring death to someone was not terrifying, because death was something anyone could cause.But the ability to prevent someone from dying was what was truly terrifying!At this moment, Arkem no longer had any doubts about Liam. In his heart,
"I... I..."After hearing Liam's words, Dianne, who had been frozen in place with her delicate, frail face filled with shock, couldn't help but tremble violently.Her gaze wavered, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.Dianne never imagined that she would witness such a scene.She also never thought that Liam would have such strength!Just as Dianne had initially thought, when she followed Liam to the Nosh family, she had already prepared herself for certain death.After all, in the beginning, Dianne had never thought that they would be able to do anything to the Nosh family. The Nosh family in Juneau was an insurmountable mountain to her!But when she saw the remarkable strength of the Bluebird behind Liam, Dianne's heart surged with a glimmer of hope for the first time.She truly believed that with Bluebird's presence, it was very likely they could succeed in their revenge. Dianne also clearly understood where Liam's confidence came from.But who knew, before Dianne
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
