An hour ago, on a desolate land that stretched for dozens of kilometers at the territory's border, two ghostly figures chased after one another, and their speed was extremely fast.

The person in front was a man in his forties who appeared fierce. There was a shocking scar of more than ten centimeters on his face, and he was holding a shiny bardiche, exuding a strong sense of bloodthirstiness. The other person was around twenty-six years old. He was handsome and dressed in a brocade uniform, holding a steel saber. One could vaguely see the words "Shadow Sect" carved on the blade.

This saber was called the Cold Moon Saber!

"The Judge, you've been chasing me for three days and nights. Do you have to work so hard for your pitiful salary?"

The scarred man ran to a river and stopped, staring at the young man behind him like a beast.

"The Butcher, you've ruthlessly murdered the innocent, guilty of monstrous crimes!" The Judge also stopped in his tracks and shouted, "You'll die today!"

"Hmph!" The Butcher snorted. "Does the Shadow Sect really think they're the saviors? There are so many wicked people in the world. Can you kill them all?!"

"Eliminate and punish the evil to maintain order! May our blood be exchanged for a bright future!" The Judge replied loudly, "The Shadow Sect will kill anyone who's as evil as you, the Butcher!"

"Hmph!" The Butcher snorted again. "Do you really think I'm afraid of you? You're separated from your teammates. Killing me by yourself is just a fool's dream!"

"A fool!" The Judge's eyes darkened. "That's enough. I don't want to waste time on you anymore. Just enjoy your death!"

As soon as the Judge finished speaking, his silhouette shot out like a burst of lighting, and his saber pulled out dozens of sharp cold lights.

"You want to kill me? Let's see if you have the ability!" The Butcher roared and moved his hands, showing his forceful bardiche.

A series of ear-piercing clattering noises sounded, and sparks flickered as the blades danced in the air.

After the two fought for more than ten rounds, the Judge dodged and avoided the Butcher's strike. With a flick of his wrist, his saber cut open a wound of more than ten centimeters on the Butcher's waist, and blood spurted everywhere.

"Huh? You actually hurt me? Damn it!" The Butcher roared, slashing his bardiche down the Judge's shoulder as if he were chopping a wood block.

The Judge's pupils shrank slightly, and he swiftly dodged half of his figure to the side. At the same time, he raised his hand to block himself, and there was a crisp impact sound again.

The Butcher's violent force knocked the Judge back a few steps. He felt a tingling sensation in his arm, and his breath was slightly disordered.

Later, the Butcher did not hurriedly attack the Judge again. Instead, he tore a piece of his clothes and treated his wounds.

Suddenly, the Judge's satellite phone rang, and his expression changed slightly. Only a few people knew this number, and it was primarily used for emergency matters. Since someone was calling him, something big had surely happened!

The Judge glanced at the Butcher and picked up the call after making sure he did not have the intention to launch another attack.

"I'm the Judge. Who's this?"

"It's Yoel!" Yoel's solemn tone sounded. "Marshal's daughter was kidnapped, and we don't know if she's dead or alive. Come to Nimbulus now!"

"What?" The Judge shouted, and a suffocatingly cold aura burst out. Someone actually dared to kidnap the marshal's daughter? Was the person trying to have their entire family exterminated?!

"Give me a few hours. I'll be there as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, the Judge looked at the Butcher. "I don't have time to play with you. Remember to be a good person in your next life!"

As soon as he said that, the Judge's momentum instantly skyrocketed, several orders of magnitude stronger than before. Then, his figure burst out like a cannonball out of its chamber. The Judge moved his wrist, and the Cold Moon Saber drew out countless cold lights in the air, which condensed into an extremely intense net of blades, attacking the Butcher.

"Huh?!" The Butcher quickly felt a terrifying killing intent enveloping him, and his pupils shrank. He knew well that he could not handle this attack with his ability! Just as he wanted to dodge, the Butcher realized that all his escape routes were blocked by the sky full of blades, and there was no way to retreat!

The endless sword lights were all submerged into the Butcher's body, and the scene was calm again with only the whistling of the mountain wind. The next moment, the Butcher fell and was covered in blood.

"S-So strong…" After uttering the two words with great difficulty, the Butcher's legs twitched and died.

The Judge did not spare another glance at the Butcher and hurried away from where he came from. At the same time, he took out his satellite phone and made a call. When the other person picked up, he roared, "Notify all the three-star and above members of Eastern District. No matter where they're or what they're doing, rush to Nimbulus as soon as possible! Kill any violators!"

Following his order, all three-star and above personnel in the Shadow Sect's Eastern District stopped what they were doing and rushed toward Nimbulus. This was unprecedented in the Shadow Sect! In an instant, all forces in the Eastern District were panicking, not knowing what major issue had happened!

In Nimbulus, Grand Universal Hotel, Suite 808.

A man and a woman sat on a sofa. The man was in his late twenties, dressed in branded clothes from head to toe. He was imposing, holding a cigar in his left hand and a glass of red wine in his right. The woman had a peerless beauty that could make the heavens jealous. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with delicate facial features, a graceful figure, and gorgeous skin.

She was Talia Jenkins, Mendorra's most beautiful woman and Riley's mother!

Talia's eyes were red, her face was full of sadness, and she was faintly trembling.

"Y-Young Master Timothy, p-please help me find my daughter…"

Talia stood and knelt before the wealthy playboy, choked with sobs.

"Hehe. Talia, I bet you didn't expect to beg me for help one day, right?"

Timothy Aellus took a puff of his cigar and blew it on Talia's face.

"Aren't you very arrogant? Haven't you always disliked a rich guy like me? I've pursued you for three freaking years, and I don't even care that you have a child born out of wedlock. Yet, you never looked me straight in the eyes! What's going on with you now? Why are you lowering your arrogant self?"

"Young Master Timothy, you can say anything you want about me, but please help me…" The beautiful Talia wept as she kowtowed. "I can't find anyone else that can help me besides you… Please…"

"Do you really want me to help you?" Timothy's eyes distastefully scanned over Talia's figure. "What's in it for me?"

"A-As long as you can help me find my daughter, I'll do anything you want me too…"

Talia trembled. She naturally knew what the other party wanted, but she had no choice! Her daughter was her everything, and she could give up anything to find her back!

Including dignity, body, and life!

    "Anything?" Timothy grinned evilly."A-Anything…" Talia replied in a trembling voice."Haha! You were given a chance to do it the easy way, yet look at yourself now!" Timothy snorted, and his voice became deeper. "I can help you find your bastard child, but I have two conditions!""First, sit beside me immediately, and let me have a sweet taste of you. Second, after I help you find your bastard child, you must accompany me unconditionally for a month and always be ready for me!""I-I agree…" Talia clenched her jaw and nodded."Well, what are you waiting for? Sit next to me now!" Timothy patted the empty seat beside him. "Give me a massage first! Once I feel good, I'll call someone to help you find your bastard child!""I hope you don't go back on your word…" Talia took another deep breath, got up, and sat beside Timothy."Come to me!" Before Talia even sat, Timothy immediately pulled her into his embrace.At this time, the door burst open as if it was made of paper, and sawdus

    In the aisle, Yoel, who had just handled Timothy, saw Talia and shouted, "Ms. Talia, where are you going?"However, Talia ignored him and swiftly disappeared at the entrance of the stairs."Stop her!" Howard rushed out of the room and shouted. After listening to Talia's cry just now, Howard had a feeling that he might have misunderstood her."Yes, sir!" Yoel turned and chased after Talia. Just as Yoel took two steps, his phone rang, and he picked up the call as he ran."Really?!" Yoel stopped running immediately. The other party said something, causing Yoel to frown. "We'll be there immediately!""What's the matter?" Howard was already beside Yoel."They found the four men who kidnapped Riley!" Yoel hung up the phone and informed gloomily, "But they're all dead!""Huh?!" Howard frowned and looked in the direction Talia had disappeared into. Then, he paused for a moment before saying, "Let's go and have a look first!"For him, nothing's more important than saving Riley!Three m

    In the car, Howard said, "The other party's methods are very professional, and it may be difficult to have a breakthrough in such a short time.""Should we look for Ms. Talia again?" Yoel nodded slightly. "Maybe she can provide us with a little clue?"Howard took a deep breath, nodded, and replied, "Mm!"Yoel sent a text asking for Talia's location, then stomped on the gas pedal. Half an hour later, Yoel drove the car into an old neighborhood. After taking a few turns, they stopped in front of a dilapidated building."Ms. Talia lives on the first floor with her sister and parents!" Yoel informed, looking at Howard in the passenger seat. Howard exhaled heavily. Looking at the building on the verge of collapsing, a look of guilt appeared on his face."I got them into this mess!" After saying that, Howard got out of the car."Dad, I'm begging you! Please help me ask grandpa again. Ask him to send someone to find Riley..."As soon as the two walked to the entrance, they heard Talia'

    "You two are really here!" Timothy pointed at Howard and Yoel, gritting his teeth."I told you I'll kill you for hurting me! I'll be damned if I don't teach you a lesson today!""Do you know him?" Howard glanced at Timothy and looked at Yoel. As Timothy's face was almost disfigured, Howard could not recognize him."He's Young Master Timothy!" Yoel shrugged."You shouldn't have hit him so hard." Howard's lips twitched slightly. Then, he turned to Timothy and said indifferently, "I don't have the time to entertain you. If you don't want to die, leave immediately. Otherwise, bear your own consequences!"Yuffie shouted in shock when she heard their conversation. "Y-You're Young Master Timothy?!" In Nimbulus, someone actually dared to beat up the young master of the dignified Aellus family until this level? Was that person digging his own grave?The Aellus family was the second most prominent family in Nimbulus! As the young master of the Aellus family, Timothy was well respected

    "Mr. Jenkins, Ms. Talia, and Ms. Yuffie, don't worry! Mrs. Jenkins fainted because she was too angry. Just let her rest for a while at home, and she'll be fine." Yoel helped Kaylee.After Holden and Talia helped Kaylee into the house, Talia looked at Howard."You should leave Nimbulus immediately. Timothy will definitely not let you go when he wakes up!"Howard ignored her. "Talia, we're not done with Riley's matter. Try giving it another thought. Did anything special happen recently?""The Aellus family is the second most prominent family in Nimbulus. You're no match. Hurry and leave…" Talia started to sob."Talia, don't worry about that. I promise you it'll be alright. Riley…" Howard continued."Do you understand what I'm saying! Leave! Otherwise, you'll die…" Talia shouted."Talia, calm down. Let's put the Aellus family aside!" Howard raised his voice. "We don't have much time to waste for Riley's sake! Think carefully. Have you been to any special place recently?!""No. We

    Ten minutes later, Howard received a text message and threw the doctor into the car, making his way to the destination.After less than ten minutes of driving, Howard's phone rang, and he picked up the call. "Speak!"Milan's voice sounded. "Sir, I'm Milan Jake. We found out the identities of the four people who kidnapped Riley. Hurley's subordinates probably hired them to carry out the kidnapping…""I already know about this. They're now at Oceanview Restaurant. Arrange for your team to handle the aftermath later!" Howard interrupted Milan. Then, he hung up and drove toward the location at full speed.Oceanview Restaurant was one of the most exclusive restaurants in Nimbulus! The ones who dined here were usually wealthy and of high social status, and it was definitely by no means a place ordinary white-collar workers could go. Today, the restaurant had refused all walk-in customers from entering the venue since the afternoon, and the reason was Master Hurley would be celebrating hi

    All the surrounding tables, chairs, and benches exploded. The glass windows on the wall shattered, and even the bars collapsed. As for Hurley, he flew out like a cannonball, knocked a hole in the wall not far behind him, and fell to the concrete floor outside."So…so strong…" Hurley uttered with blood gushing out of his mouth. He twitched a few times and died. He never imagined that as the king of the Nimbulus's underworld, who was admired by thousands of people, he would one day die because of a little girl! If Hurley were given a chance again, he would never accept the Reynolds family's job no matter what! Unfortunately for him, there were no ifs in this world, and all good and bad deeds would have their consequences, and everything had cause and effect!!Howard spat a mouthful of blood again due to the turbulent emotions worsening his injuries. At the same time, his momentum also weakened.Was he still too late?! Why did the universe punish him in this way! Was there a need to be

    At the same time, in the biggest private room on the third floor.Lucius was reclining on the sofa, with a beautiful girl in one hand and a cigar in the other.Two other young men in the room were also holding girls in their hands, drinking and smoking."Congratulations, Mr. Reynolds. You have signed another big project. We'll be counting on you in the near future!" The tall man raised his glass and looked at Lucius."Haha, don't worry. You guys will receive the best treatment if you are with me!" Lucius smiled faintly and clinked his glass with the tall man's."By the way, how's your daughter's heart surgery going? Have you found the suitable heart donor?" The other man asked after taking a drag on his cigar."I found it!" With a smile on his face, Lucius said, "if everything goes well, she will undergo the surgery in half an hour!"Speaking of this matter, Lucius looked evidently happier.His daughter had been waiting for the surgery for almost two months.

    "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

    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
