Amos squinted at the guest hall in front of him.“A battle of wits does fit the sect’s habits. It’d be a lot easier for the populace to accept it, too.“In reality, we might not be able to win through martial arts alone. That’s why we can’t let down our guard. Right. Who’s going to challenge us tonight anyway?”“I heard Master Roben would probably show up himself,” Serval said quietly. “He’s the best debater in the Smalt Sect; we might just lose if he challenges us. Should we make preparations here?”Amos was in deep thought for a moment.“No need. Since the Aenar Temple’s planning to send Master Roben, all we need to do is stop him from showing up.“Tell everyone that we won’t prepare any of the monks this time.“I’ll join the battle myself.“If Master Roben’s willing to take advantage of a junior, the Aenar Temple would be humiliated even if they win.”Serval froze, then smiled faintly. “As expected of you, Young Master. The Aenar Temple wouldn’t be able to send anyone but
Stefan’s face darkened after seeing Amos’s determined expression. Since he came here way before Amos did, he naturally got word already.Amos was planning to participate in the battle on his own; he didn’t want the other monks to take his place.This meant that Stefan had no choice but to do the same. If he didn’t, he’d lose his advantage.When Stefan hesitated to give a reply, Harvey’s calm tone was heard.“Let’s do that.“But it’s boring to bet on the beads alone.“How about this? Let’s raise the stakes.“If you win, I’ll deal with your energies, guaranteeing your survival along with the improvement of your training!“But if you lose, you’ll have to give up your training in front of everyone here.“How does that sound?”Everyone was instantly shocked after hearing Harvey’s words.‘Where did this guy even come from? When does an outsider like him even get the right to butt in? He wants Amos to give up his training? He has a death wish or something!’Amos frowned at Harve
“That said, I’m a careful man too!” Harvey said casually.“I don’t care about oaths, nor do I care about morals. I want the deal in black in white.”Amos felt relieved after hearing those words.He was afraid of Harvey not asking for anything, determined to take him down at any cost. Harvey’s actions were enough to make him stop worrying.Soon, two contracts were made before Harvey and Amos signed their names and stamped their fingerprints.“Please, Sir York.”After carefully putting the contracts away, Amos smiled before gesturing for Harvey to step forward.Harvey smiled before stepping on the pedestal without wasting any time.The Smalt Sect had built two big pedestals for the battle.A circular mat was seen at the top of the thirty-foot pedestal after going up the steps.A massive statue of Caesar Augustus was in between the two pedestals.Ninety-nine different seats were prepared in the entire guest hall.Other than the followers, pilgrims, and journalists, nine high m
Amos Augustus chuckled. He was not planning to hold back.“Since you’re not from a sect, let me ask you a question.“Is there a difference between God and everyone else?”The monks were looking at Amos with admiration.The simple question was enough to test Harvey York towards God’s existence.More importantly, Amos’ exceptional wisdom was also adequately portrayed.Harvey curled his lips before smiling at the crowd.“Of course there is.“Since the law isn’t biased towards anyone else, it’s only natural that your teachings would teach the same.“It doesn’t matter if anyone learned the teachings. Life is one big teaching on its own.”Harvey’s casual reply was enough to make Stefan Augustus’ eyes twitch.The sect’s teachings treated everyone as equals. It did not matter what the status of each person was.Even great evil were given chances to change, let alone ordinary people.The monks froze. They did not think a mere outsider would even say something like that.Amos took
‘What did he say?‘I shouldn’t be in the position in the first place…?’Amos Augustus’ expression instantly changed. He wanted to say something, but he seemed utterly speechless at this moment.It was not that Harvey was good at debating. His straightforward words were enough for Amos to be stumped.The monks looked at each other before they started discussing.“Harvey wins this match!” exclaimed the monk in the middle.‘Harvey won!’The simple words echoed like lightning inside the guest hall.There was no massive debate nor clever use of words, as everyone thought.Amos’ train of thought was instantly crushed after hearing Harvey’s words.“Looks like you still lost after all.”Harvey stood before casually looking at Amos.“Since that’s the case, do you want me to help you? Or are you going to do it yourself?”Amos instantly came to his senses before showing a horrible expression.“Do you really want to cripple me that badly, Harvey?” he exclaimed after letting out a col
“Change your ways!”“Turn back!”Thirty-six monks with different colored robes appeared all over the hall.Those people were guards of the nine high monks with terrifying combat strength. They quickly surrounded the people of the Smalt Sect without warning.The people watching stumbled back with terrified looks.They were followers of the Smalt Sect, but they were not idiots either.Anyone could tell that Amos Augustus was prepared to fight to the death.“Move!”Serval furiously roared at the people before him.Six monks were sent tumbling on the ground after being hit by the sound wave.Serval immediately activated his Iron Skin before charging into the crowd.The monks flew, one after another.Nobody expected Serval to be this strong.Using the opportunity, the people of the Smalt Sect quickly left with Amos. The people of Aenar Temple returned to their senses immediately after that.They quickly swarmed forward, facing against the Smalt Sect with the rest of the high m
“Silence people?Amos Augustus gave a cold chuckle.“There wouldn’t be any trouble as long as nothing here gets spread out!”Harvey York casually waved his phone.“You might’ve forgotten something. Times have changed.“This is the age of media. As long as someone uploads everything online, there’d be no point even if you kill everyone here.“Besides, since Stefan’s reliable, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger.”Stefan Augustus stumbled, almost falling to the ground after hearing those words. He meant to remain discreet at first…The situation gave him strange thoughts, and Harvey’s words immediately made his situation extremely awkward.He would turn into the outskirts’ biggest joke if he remained in hiding.Without a second thought, Stefan quickly stood out.“I knew you’d do this in the first place, Amos!” he coldly exclaimed.“Don’t worry! If someone here gets hurt, I’ll ensure everything’s uploaded to the media!“You people are absolutely shameless…“But there are m
Kroom!A resounding roar came from the clouds when the entire place was devoid of color.The strength of Serval’s punch was beyond imagination.Even Hollywood movies would rarely use special effects like this.Many people were so shocked that they did not even have time to scream.The wealthy ladies instinctively covered their eyes after seeing such a terrifying sight.They were already imagining Harvey York’s head exploding like a watermelon.Then again, against such a powerful attack, Harvey only grabbed Serval’s fist with a calm look.Bam!The air ripped when the two collided.“Die!” exclaimed Serval with his head raised.Crack!Sounds of bones cracking echoed throughout the hall.Nobody thought Serval’s arm would be completely messed up like that.Bam!Harvey casually tossed Serval away.Serval was sent flying into a wall and slowly slid down among the sparks of lightning and crackling fire.He wanted to crawl back up again but immediately lost all his strength aft
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
"You're good… Very good!" There was shock in Sverker's eyes. "I don't want to admit it, but I have to. Country H really is a good place to give birth to someone like you. In twenty years…no, maybe in ten years, you'd be able to comprehend how to reach Unity between Nature and Man. In another fifty years, maybe you can even take that final step and ascend into the void!"Unfortunately, you met me. I will end your legend here. If it isn't because we each serve our own masters, I want to let you live and see just how far you can reach."Sverker's figure disappeared and then reappeared where he was standing earlier.One of the women became extremely excited when she saw this. She seemed to be trained in martial arts a little. "Here it is! Mr. Sverker is serious now! He's really making his move!"All the other women were shocked. When they exchanged glances, all they could see was the surprise in each other's eyes.Sverker used the legendary Sonic Blade already, but even that was
"Don't tell me you'll become more confident with these women cheering for you from the side," Harvey said, completely unaffected by the women's words. Instead, he even teased Sverker for it.Sverker used these women to strike at his morale, so Harvey wouldn't pull his punches. While the two of them hadn't crossed swords, their fight had begun from the moment they met."You have quite a sharp tongue!" Sverker said with a snort. He waved his hands, signaling the women to stop. After that, his right hand slowly reached for the hilt of his sword sheathed by his waist. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey. "You're quite arrogant! I really hope that you can still be as arrogant once I cleave you in half!"Harvey shrugged. "I think you're the one being arrogant here. Normally speaking, you should be the one begging for your life. Your so-called chivalry is to bend your knee to your betters, isn't it?""Fool!" Sverker cried; Harvey's words hit a nerve, and his right hand sudde
"Sverker?" Harvey said calmly. "If I remember correctly, this is the title of a mass murderer from the Island Nation that died in our hands. For you to give yourself the same name… Do you think you'll die just like that mass murderer in my hands?"Sverker was slightly stunned when he heard what Harvey had to say. Then, he laughed. "Die in your hands? You? Aren't you overestimating yourself a little too much? Do you think you're invincible after defeating all the prodigies of Country I and the Island Nation's Sword Saints?"I admit you're very impressive to have obtained the power of a True Warrior at your age, but that doesn't allow you to look down on everything! You're still too young and you don't have enough experience. You don't know just how wide the world is. There are plenty of people in this world who are more powerful than you!"I became a King of Arms when I was twelve, and a True Warrior at the age of eighteen! Since then, I've been trying to comprehend the path to r
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
