Alexander had a plan. He looked at Ivan and firmly asked, "Has anyone gone missing from the Marshall family, especially those with exceptional talent?"Practicing the forbidden arts of Grand Hart Lord required blood from the heart, and people from hidden martial families were perfect for this."No…"
"I respected you as an honored guest, Alexander, but you cannot be this disrespectful." The Great Elder, feeling affronted in front of the entire clan, suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice. Only someone as powerful as Alexander could speak this way without immediate retaliation."Disrespect
The young man took a deep breath and looked at the Great Elder, speaking sorrowfully."My grandfather has gone mad. He's using the blood of our clan members to cultivate. He is nothing but a demon. He didn't even spare me!"The young man endured immense pain, betrayed and hurt by the person he trust
Alexander scanned his surroundings, finding the situation somewhat amusing, and responded cautiously, "Is that so? Should I thank you, then?"The Great Elder, noticing something was amiss, tried to show goodwill, demonstrating his cunning. However, this tactic was useless against Alexander. This was
"Wow, the Iron Pillar Maze was reduced to such a state!" exclaimed the members of the Marshall family, their eyes wide with astonishment at the sight of the scattered iron pillars.They all knew that the Iron Pillar Maze was the Great Elder's trump card. Even Ivan, the strongest of the Marshall fami
Alexander spread his hands, pressing down on the two pieces, preventing them from advancing any further. He gauged their impact by feeling their force.Crack, crack!The gears beneath the ground continued to turn, and the strength of the pieces gradually increased, squeezing toward Alexander in the
The two men's final burst of energy was quite a spectacle. It shook the ground as if an earthquake had struck.It was unavoidable. Pulling back their energy abruptly during a clash could easily result in injury, so it was best to unleash their power and create some distance.Ivan was in a bit of a p
"Well! I discovered something interesting. Can you guess who's at the top of the bounty list?" Red Rose asked with a smile, recalling something amusing after finishing the important business."Isn't it me? When I became the lord of the Temple of War, the bounty on my head was already the highest," A
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
