Last Man Standing Chapter 397
The mention of the Eroding Ghost Flower poison sent a shiver down Howard's spine.That explained the overwhelming potency of the poison—it was the Eroding Ghost Flower, one of the four deadliest poisons.He had spent years in the Rectenwald sect, fortifying his body against toxins. Ordinary poisons could not touch him, and he had been puzzled at how easily he had been affected. However, then it made sense—it was the lethal Eroding Ghost Flower.He took a moment to steady his breathing before pulling out several silver needles and piercing them into his flesh."Futile efforts," The woman said with an aloof tone. "The Eroding Ghost Flower poison is incurable. Even with your poison-resistant body, Master Howard, it's no use."And considering you've tapped into your core energy twice already, I'd say you've got about a minute before the poison hits your heart. Then, not even a miracle can save you.""Howard..." Talia's tears flowed freely, growing anxious."Honey, don't worry. I'll

The woman, sensing the impending danger as Howard's power surged, narrowly escaped death.Nonetheless, she was still hurled through the air by the wave of energy, crashing down hard and coughing up blood."How... How can this be!?" Lying there in shock, she stared at Howard. "How can you still wield such incredible strength!?""You've seriously overestimated the poison of the Eroding Ghost Flower." Howard inhaled deeply, his body trembling as a flurry of silver needles shot out from him."There's no denying it, the Eroding Ghost Flower's poison hit me hard at first, but you just love the sound of your own voice, don't you? That gave me the break I needed. If you'd come at me full force from the get-go, maybe you'd have a shot today."The keyword here is 'maybe'!""Impossible! You can't force out the toxicity of the Eroding Ghost Flower, even if your cultivation base has reached the later stages of the martial ancestor..." At that point, it seemed as if there was a sudden realizat

In tandem, Mystical Chubby and an elderly adversary were hurled through the air like kites torn from their strings, leaving behind a crimson wake.Mystical Chubby hit the ground hard and skidded back a dozen steps before regaining his footing, his energy wildly erratic.The old man from the other side hit the ground with a thud, coughing up a gush of blood before his head lolled to the side, lifeless."Brother!" his companion, another elder, howled in anguish. Without missing a beat, he summoned all his power and lunged at Mystical Chubby."You're going down, you old buzzard, to join him!" Mystical Chubby bellowed, his wrist flicking rapidly as a flurry of silver needles flew like a downpour."You killed my brother! I'll rip you apart!" the elder thundered, swiping his hand through the air to scatter the needles with a blast of wind.In that instant, Mystical Chubby's punch, already on its way, slammed into the elder's protection aura.However, Mystical Chubby was wounded, his p

"Sir, the Eroding Ghost Flower is exclusive to Abatemarco and Abbercrombie. These thugs must be from Abbercrombie; they've got no ties to Abatemarco," Mystical Chubby said, his voice heavy with concern as he stepped closer."Indeed," Howard acknowledged with a subtle nod."Abbercrombie is sending assassins to Mendorra to take you out, Sir. Are they itching for their downfall?" Mystical Chubby's face twisted with rage."I'll get on the phone with Carbonemys right now. He'll lead the Blood Shadow Force, all hundred thousand of them, and we'll crush Abbercrombie once and for all!""Hold on a second." Howard's gaze was locked on the horizon, his voice laced with thoughtfulness."Remember last year? The Blood Shadow Force nearly halved Abbercrombie's strength. They know full well the price of their actions."If they succeed in killing me, Abbercrombie will vanish from the map. Trading a whole nation for one life is a losing deal."And yet, they've gone ahead with it."Don't you thin

A collective gasp sliced through the clamor of the street as pedestrians scattered in panic.Some dropped to the ground, seeking cover, while others pressed themselves against the nearest wall. A few darted into the sanctuary of a nearby bar.In the midst of the chaos, a man clad in a sleek black leather jacket, his head crowned by a flat cap, hesitated for just a heartbeat before bolting into action.He knew that moment's pause had betrayed him."Stop him!" The command cut through the air, unmistakably from the Judge.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Thirty Elegant Uniformed Troops of the Shadow Sect surged forward, a blur of motion and intent.The earlier gunshot had been a ruse, a skyward warning meant to draw out their quarry.According to the Sky Eye's feed, a sniper had vanished into a blind spot of the surveillance network, leaving no trace.The thirty Elegant Uniformed Troops had already swept the street without spotting the elusive figure, not even a hint of the black leather

"I'm good!" Mystical Chubby shook his head, revealing a hint of lingering fear. "That was a close call. If your powers hadn't returned to martial emperor level, Sir, I hate to think what might've happened.""Any idea who's behind this?" Black Blade said, heavy with concern."People from Abbercrombie," Mystical Chubby answered, his eyes stern and unyielding."Abbercrombie? Are they trying to bring down the country?!" the Judge exclaimed, his anger flaring.He remembered his last trip to the Western Region. The information he had gathered about Abbercrombie whose forces had been decimated by his boss."It might not be an official act from their government," Mystical Chubby shared Howard's insights with the Judge."What?!" The Judge could not contain his outrage. "Are they plotting a rebellion?""Master Howard, do you think this could be orchestrated by someone in Ciolara, directing the Southern defense?" Black Blade inhaled sharply, the chill of the implication hitting him hard.

Phoenix, with a major mastery in martial knight!Sabertooth, with a minor mastery in martial knight!Carbonemys, also with a minor mastery in martial knight!That was the outcome Howard had hoped for after Yoel's leap to martial knight ultimate mastery. He had told the Dragon quartet to stop holding back their cultivation base and to push for a full breakthrough.Truth be told, they were all ready to ascend to the next level some time ago but had been deliberately keeping it under wraps.Partly, they wanted to avoid drawing too much attention, which would not only throw off enemy nations but also lull any schemers into a false sense of security.Of course, they aimed to ascend at their peak condition so they could jump straight into the mid-stage martial knight.Such was the might of the Western Region's army, bolstered by Dragon and the leaders of the four major legions—all formidable martial knights.In the face of the other four major regions, none could hold a candle to the

However, with him watching over them, they never really had to fight with their backs against the wall.The slow progress in Martial Arts cultivation base among the Dragon quartet, Yoel excluded, had its reasons.Each possessed a knack for the martial arts that was nothing short of impressive. If only they could be thrust into battles that would unlock their latent potential, their growth would be tremendous.The Dark World? It was the perfect crucible for such a test."Is it for real? I can go to The Dark World?" Sabertooth's eyes blazed with zeal.He was well aware of The Dark World's reputation—a lawless land where only the strong survived and might make right."Yep!" Howard confirmed with a nod."You've got a month to pick someone to fill your shoes. After that, you're free to head out.""Thanks a ton, sir!" Sabertooth was over the moon, pausing briefly before he asked, "Sir, can I take a crew with me?""Sure thing!" Howard agreed with another nod. "Start with a thousand.

"And look at that bracelet, it's stunning! Oh, and the compact has such a unique charm! Should we get one of each to decorate our homes?""Yuffie, you're still in school. How can you afford all this?" Talia chided gently. "You have a hundred fifty-dollar budget. Spend more, and it's coming out of your allowance.""What? Only a hundred fifty dollars? You're being too tight-fisted, sis!" Yuffie's complaint was lighthearted as she playfully turned to Howard. "Howard...""Don't even think about it. His wallet is in my hands!" Talia cut her off, fully aware of her little sister's ploy."Fine..." Yuffie's pout was all in good fun."Haha! It's not every day we get to do this, honey. If Yuffie finds something she loves, let's get it for her. Who knows if it'll be here next time?" Howard chuckled."Yay! You're the best, bro-in-law!" Yuffie cheered, her face lighting up with joy."You're just making her more spoiled!" Talia gave Howard a playful eye roll and turned her attention away from

Howard's willingness to visit the antique market was not solely to assist the sisters in their quest for a legendary blade. Such weapons were treasures often stumbled upon by chance, rarely found by those who sought them.His real intent was to immerse the sisters in the rich culture of the martial arts clans they were then a part of. More exposure to the ways of the warrior guilds could only benefit them on their chosen path.The following morning, Howard's group of five set off in the direction of Nathanael. Talia and Yuffie buzzed with excitement throughout the journey, their minds alive with wonder.Nathanael, nestled in the mountains to the northeast of Mendorra and a couple hundred kilometers away, awaited them.By 10 a.m., they arrived, parking at the gates of a sprawling estate on the city's outskirts—the site of the famed market.Stepping out, they were greeted by a lively throng at the estate's entrance, many adorned in traditional robes, weapons hanging from their belts

"And that's not all. They might even be a bona fide king-level warrior." Howard's brow furrowed with uncertainty."It looks like The Dark World is a whole lot more tangled than we thought," Yoel mused aloud.Then, turning back to Howard, he inquired, "Sir, did the old man ever share anything with you about The Dark World?""Not a word," Howard replied, shaking his head."Sir, do you think our mystery person could be from one of the elite families or sects, maybe just there on some errand?" Mystical Chubby chimed in.His speculation was not unfounded. Most of the king-level warriors from Rackaham were known to hail from the secretive clans and sects."It's unlikely." Howard dismissed the idea with another shake of his head. "From what Sabertooth described, our guy seems to know The Dark World like the back of his hand.""Who's that supposed to be?" Mystical Chubby scrunched his brow in confusion."Let it go for now. We'll head back to The Dark World in a little while," said Howa

"Um..." Blood Rakshasa nodded, the woman's earlier words still ringing in her head."Sir... Sir, was what you said earlier true?" Blood Rakshasa asked Sabertooth, her voice barely above a whisper."What did I say?" Sabertooth looked puzzled for a moment."You said... You said next time, we'd go back home together to get married..." Blood Rakshasa's cheeks turned a soft pink."Hehe, absolutely," Sabertooth chuckled, his smile warm and genuine. "The boss gave me the order, and I've given my word."Blood Rakshasa's smile was shy but filled with joy.Soon after, Qemal strode in."Sabertooth, I've tracked down the hideout of the Slaying Heaven Palace," Qemal announced upon arrival."Is that so?" Sabertooth's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Tell the crew to take a two-hour breather, then we move out!"The Slaying Heaven Palace's goons had nearly wiped out them today. Payback was due.With the Palace's top fighters gone, the rest were hardly a threat. It was time to cross the Slay

"Shadow Demon Shrine?" The woman's brow creased for a moment, but she quickly dropped the subject.She then turned to Sabertooth and observed, "You and your group have the vibe of soldiers. You're not originally from The Dark World, are you?""Speaking to our savior," Sabertooth gave a respectful nod, "we were part of the Rackaham Western Region's military before we came here."He was open with the woman who had saved over a hundred of his comrades."The Western Region's military?" The woman paused, a hint of recognition in her voice, "You're with the Blood Shadow Force?""That's us," Sabertooth confirmed with another bow."Is your leader the King of the West, Master Howard?" she inquired further."You know my boss?" Sabertooth looked surprised."Not personally, but I've heard the name," the woman replied with a shake of her head. "What's he got you doing in The Dark World?""Over the past couple of years, the world's heavy hitters have been funneling their muscle and resource

"You'll live to regret this, Dark Demon Lord!" Blood Rakshasa declared, locking eyes with her adversary. "Kill us, and Master Howard will avenge us by wiping out every last one of you in your cursed palace...""Ha! That Master Howard of yours better think twice before stepping into The Dark World again, or it'll be his grave!" The Dark Demon Lord mocked with an icy laugh."You're the fool!" Sabertooth growled. "No one in The Dark World has been born who can take down our boss. Your time's coming!""Is that so?" The Dark Demon Lord sneered with disdain. "You're clueless, all of you. You have no idea how powerful the Shadow Demon Shrine truly is!""Enough babbling. Time to end this. I'll send you both to join your boss," he declared, his presence intensifying as he prepared to strike them down."I love you," Blood Rakshasa whispered, her eyes closing."No, don't!" Qemal and others shouted in despair.Then there was a thunderous boom.However, the expected tragedy did not unfold.

Sabertooth sneered, watching the man's futile efforts. "You're such a fool!"He then declared solemnly, "Blood Shadow Technique, second form, Sky Slash!"With those words, he summoned all his strength, his saber carving a fierce arc of light through the air, striking like thunder at his foe.The Blood Shadow Technique was known for turning the tides against stronger adversaries.The white-haired elder's eyes narrowed in alarm. Caught mid-leap, he desperately wanted to dodge but could not. The saber's light bore down on him, a chilling aura of death shrouding him completely.In that instant, a wave of energy crashed through the air like a tidal wave, bringing a howling gale with it.Crash!Suddenly, Sabertooth was hurled away like a shell fired from a gun, blood spraying from his mouth as he flew, before he slammed into the earth, leaving a huge crater and falling silent."Sabertooth!" Blood Rakshasa's shout pierced the chaos as she spun and dashed to his side.She barely made

The man in black was sent hurtling through the air, slamming into the ground with such force that he lay there motionlessly, struggling to rise. A gaping wound, carved by the relentless sword, oozed blood profusely from his abdomen."What in the world is that sword technique?" he gasped after a torturous effort to stand, his face ashen.He had underestimated Blood Rakshasa's swordplay. Since her breakthrough to a higher echelon of mastery, her blade's might had surged, utterly dominating her seasoned adversary."The Sword Without a Name," Blood Rakshasa declared icily.Without wasting another second, she launched another assault. Sabertooth was in dire straits, and she was determined to aid him.Her blade danced again, weaving a web of sword energy that shot toward the white-haired elder, ensnaring him in an instant.The old man's eyes narrowed in a flash of panic, realizing he was trapped with no way out."This is it!" he snarled, brandishing his blade and lunging forward.How
Last Man Standing Chapter 671
With a thunderous explosion of energy, Blood Rakshasa's power surged, forcing the old man before her to stagger back in disbelief."Impossible! Have you broken through?" he gasped, steadying himself, his face a mask of astonishment."You bet I have!" Blood Rakshasa's face lit up with triumph.She had done it, just as the old man had surmised. Amid her swordplay, she felt a dormant core energy within her erupt, catapulting her to the zenith of martial knight at peak mastery stage.Master Howard's words rang in her head. The core energy left in her by a once-mighty warrior was too much to absorb at once. Back in that cave, she only managed a minor mastery in martial knight. However, Howard had predicted further advancements, and he was right."Let's see if you can handle a few more of my strikes!" Blood Rakshasa challenged, her spirit soaring not just from her newfound strength but also from a deeper connection to her swordsmanship."Bring it on!" the old man bellowed, his blade re
