No one knew how much time had passed.Only when Dianne was utterly exhausted did her bloodstained longsword slip powerlessly from her hand.At that moment, Arkem's wide eyes had already lost all their luster.To endure for so long after suffering such severe blows—his resilience was truly commendable!It was evident that his usual caution and meticulousness extended not only to his actions but also to the concealment of his true strength. He had done an exceptional job of hiding his capabilities!But unfortunately...No matter how well Arkem hid, in the end, he still encountered Liam.And just like that, Arkem, a formidable figure of the Nosh family in Juneau, fell at the hands of a woman!The once gentle and frail Dianne had actually carried out such a bloody act.One could only imagine how intense the hatred in her heart must have been."Hah..."Letting go of her sword, Dianne let out a long breath.She no longer paid any attention to Arkem, who lay lifeless in a pool of
When Liam was present, he exerted immense pressure on them. But after his departure, they clearly felt much more at ease than before.Especially now, after regaining clarity and hearing Dianne's words, Olley Nosh's heart burned with rage!Having dominated Juneau for so many years and ruled with overwhelming power, the Nosh family had their own pride!Even if Liam's strength was unmatched. Even if the Nosh family was no match for him. Even if Arkem had died right before their eyes.Olley would never agree to surrender so easily!"If Liam had personally come to say this and sought to subdue the Nosh family, we might have considered it!"He lifted his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "But you? Keep dreaming!"A mere orphan from the Brown family—a frail, weak girl—wanted to make the Nosh family submit? What a ridiculous fantasy!"I'm telling you—"He widened his eyes, seemingly about to continue speaking.But in the next instant—Pfft—The sharp sound of a b
At the very beginning,In Bluebird's understanding, Dianne was indeed as timid as her demeanor suggested.Even though she was unafraid of death and determined to take revenge on the Nosh family, Bluebird saw it as nothing more than Dianne's last resort in utter despair.But now—Watching Dianne move forward in silence, killing without hesitation, even pushing through sheer exhaustion with sheer willpower, Bluebird began to take her more seriously.Dianne was no longer the fragile girl she once was!On the contrary—She might still appear weak, but her ruthless and decisive actions were downright terrifying!In mere moments, dozens of Nosh family members had already fallen at Dianne's hands.At first, she would still ask a few questions. But as time went on, perhaps because she was running out of strength, Dianne became numb. She struck and withdrew her blade in a mechanical rhythm, no longer engaging in any conversation with the Nosh family members.At this moment, she was kil
At this moment, no one dared to oppose Dianne anymore!"Huh?"Hearing the voice from ahead, Dianne was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.For a brief moment, she couldn't quite process what was happening.But when she saw the Nosh family members kneeling on the ground before her, she finally snapped back to reality. A complex expression flickered across her face.Dianne had never imagined that one day, the once-powerful Nosh family of Juneau would be bowing before her, trembling and begging for mercy!"From now on, you are the head of the Nosh family."With that, Dianne casually tossed the bloodstained longsword in her hand to the ground in front of Owen.The reason for choosing Owen as the new head of the Nosh family was simple.Not only was he the first to plead for mercy, but at this moment, he was also the highest-ranking surviving member of the Nosh family.Clang—Hearing the sword clatter onto the ground before him, Owen's body trembled viole
Hearing the words beside her, Bluebird turned her head and glanced at Dianne.As a fellow woman, she understood Dianne's thoughts perfectly.At the same time, having witnessed everything that had just transpired, Bluebird was even more aware of the determination Dianne had displayed in making these decisions.However, Bluebird did not care about what Dianne had done, nor would she mention a single word of it to Liam.A shadow does not speak.With that, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished from the Nosh family's old residence.Moments later—Liam's tall, imposing figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the Nosh family's old residence. He took a step forward and reentered the manor.But before Liam could say anything, his gaze fell upon Dianne, who was slumped on the ground, clearly exhausted. He could not help but pause for a moment.Puzzled, Liam looked to the side.He had no idea what had happened to leave Dianne in such a drained state.But when his eyes fell upon the
A thousand thoughts raced through Dianne's mind, but what she needed to do most right now was to get up.However, after several attempts, she still couldn't properly control her body."L-Liam…"Left with no other choice, she lifted her head and looked at Liam."Hm?"Hearing her voice from behind, Liam turned his head.The moment he saw Dianne's condition, he immediately understood what was going on.Liam took a step forward and walked back to her side."I… I can't stand up…"Seeing him approach, Dianne's face flashed with a hint of distress. She spoke with slight embarrassment.Once again, she felt like she was dragging him down."It's fine."Liam shook his head lightly, unfazed, and calmly said, "You overexerted yourself just now and injured your foundation.""Will… will this affect my body?"Hearing that, Dianne's body trembled slightly. She quickly lifted her head, her voice filled with worry.She had never felt this way before—her body felt completely foreign, as if i
"I..."Seeing the scene before her, Dianne froze for a moment, a hint of dazed confusion flashing through her eyes.Instinctively, she got up with ease.Compared to before, her body now was filled with strength!In fact, Dianne could still vaguely feel that the warm energy from earlier was continuously improving her body!Her body trembled slightly as she lifted her head to look at Liam.Ahead, Liam's figure seemed to be shrouded in a dense mist, exuding an air of deep mystery!Let alone his earth-shattering strength, just his godlike medical skills alone were beyond what any ordinary person could possess!But she only spaced out for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.Because for her, no matter who Liam truly was, her original thoughts and vows would never waver!Without hesitation, she hurriedly took steps forward, chasing after Liam's retreating figure.As for the rest of the Nosh family, Dianne paid them no mind. There would be plenty of time later to deal w
"The Nosh family..."Hearing Dianne's words, Liam was momentarily stunned, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face.Only now did he fully understand what had just happened at the Nosh family's old residence.However, this matter did not trouble Liam much."Arkem once destroyed your family. Now he's paying for it with the entire Nosh family—I'd say that's a fair trade!"A smile appeared on his face. "You'll need to handle the aftermath of the Nosh family carefully."Liam did not care about what Dianne said, about the Nosh family becoming his subordinates. In fact, he had not given it a second thought.For Liam, coming to Juneau had only ever been about revenge.Now that his vengeance was complete, the Nosh family meant nothing to him.But this was something he chose not to tell Dianne.He felt that, after experiencing such a drastic change in her life, Dianne needed something to focus on. Otherwise, even though she had avenged her family, she could still fall into des
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
