“Seventy percent!”Fane and Helena exchanged glances, their gaze suddenly turned grave.“What’s wrong? Scared?”Cloud laughed, expression pleased. “It’s no use being scared now. I won’t let you go even if you beg me on your knees. I will avenge my brother today!”After he said that, he clenched his fists and gathered his Chi again. The resonance of the Chi was stronger than before.“Blade Wave!”Fane did not dare to let his guard down, so he used his second-grade premium martial skill.Suddenly, Chi and sword auras mingled and merged, forming wickedly sharp blades of flying swords, flying outward with a fearsome aura.“Falcon Strike!”Helena also used her strongest attack. As she slashed her sword, her Chi pooled into the form of an eagle, spreading its wings, which were about twenty feet in length. It emitted a terrible screech as it dove forward.Bang!Cloud used the two giant dragons again, the dragons looking bigger than the ones from before. They almost appeared far mo
The dragon that was colliding with Fane’s Blade Wave was not going to hold out for long. Lashes appeared wherever the swords connected, then a loud crack tore through the air, and it shattered into pieces.Meanwhile, there were still a few dozen swords left behind from Fane’s attack. They speared forward relentlessly.“No–no way!”Cloud shook his head, unable to believe the sight before him. His expression darkened, as though a cloud veiled his feature. As the flying swords drew closer, Cloud threw up a Chi shield enclosing him before turning around and flying off.Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!The flying swords were fast. Two of them quickly shot toward him, but they were blocked by his shield. Another two surged forth, finally cracking the shield open.Bang!One of the swords landed on his thigh. Blood gushed out of the puncture wound.Bang!Cloud managed to dodge another sword, but it grazed his arm, ripping through his shirt and gave him another wound. “Ah!”Cloud cried out,
“What should we do? We’ll be in trouble if he has truly broken into another cultivation level, and it seems like he has already done so. His aura now feels different than before!”Helena looked at Fane, worry etched onto her brows.Fane glanced behind him. “If the two of us can’t beat him, the others will be in trouble. We’re at an advantage over there, but we can’t go on like this. You go there and kill everyone in the other battle. I’ll think of a way to distract him!”“What!”Helena took a sharp intake of breath after she heard that. “Are you nuts? We barely managed to deal a good blow to him just now. We wouldn’t be able to do that if not for the two of us working together. You’ll die if you try to take on him alone!”She did not expect Fane to remain so persistent. “We have no other choice. We have to kill the Hunt family, the Church family, and the Lagorio family,” he said, flashing a bitter smile. “This is a rare opportunity. We can’t let them go after they’ve killed so man
Helena looked at Daniella and swung her sword toward the opponents. She flashed a smile to not worry her younger sister. “Don’t worry. First Young Master Hunt has been seriously injured, and now Fane can handle him alone. He asked me to come over and help. He’ll come over once he kills Cloud!”“Really? I knew that he could do it. That’s great. Everyone, charge!”Daniella was ecstatic when she heard this. Their people’s fighting spirit grew exponentially, rushing toward their opponents with full strength.Helena’s white lie was truly useful. Randall and the others were so fired up by it like a sudden surge of adrenaline rushing through their veins. On the other hand, their downtrodden opponents descended into chaos once they heard this. Fighting back was no longer a priority, only thoughts of ways to escape clouded their minds.In the chaos, it was even easier to kill them. Meanwhile, the Woods family and their allies did not lose many people.“You actually dared to face me alone,
“So that’s what’s going on. That’s great!”Daniella had no idea that Helena was lying to her. She was delighted when she heard that.Everybody continued to kill their opponents. They truly did not leave a single person alive, wiping the enemy army out.“This is great. We have lost less than a hundred people in total. This is a total victory for us. Hah!”Randall laughed, extremely happy.“That’s right. This is great. We’ve avenged all those who died!”Venus also smiled excitedly, feeling as though her heart were about to burst from joy.“This time, the Hunt, Church, and Lagorio families will suffer great losses. I’m sure that they’ll still have plenty of geniuses left in their families, but those who joined the competition must have been the stronger ones. With so many people dead, they’ll definitely faint from shock or wail to the gods!”Yule was also delighted. Meanwhile, everyone started to gather their spoils of war.Daniella furrowed her brows because she realized that He
Daniella was stupefied. Cloud was already powerful enough at the advanced stage of the true god realm. If he was truly at the peak of the true god status now, Fane was absolutely no match for him.“What? Fane’s in danger then. What if he was caught and killed? How could he do that? I’m telling Father about this once we go back!”Yule began to panic, blinking her tears away. She was at a loss.Although she and Fane were step-siblings, he was kind to everyone, and he was nice to her. At least, he was much nicer than Lance. That was why when she heard that Fane drew Cloud away to save everyone, worry sprouted in her heart.“Ah. If he did not draw Cloud away, the latter would have killed both me and him, and he would have come over to help his people. All of you would be dead then!”Helena heaved a sigh. “Fane chose to sacrifice himself to save us all,” she said. “But he said that his flying sword is extremely fast and that escaping shouldn’t be a problem!”“What are you saying? It s
Although Helena said all that, Daniella was still worried. She also heaved a small, internal sigh of relief.At least Fane had that sliver of hope. There was a chance of winning if he held out.Even if that chance was slim.“Ah, what should we do now? Wait for him here?”At last, Daniella sighed and asked Helena. Everyone else looked at Helena. After all, she had the highest cultivation level and fighting power without Fane around. Furthermore, everyone thought that they should listen to her since she was Fane’s girlfriend.Helena took in everyone’s gazes, then spoke slowly, “Fane told us to leave Kobe Mountain. The competition is ending soon, so we should head to the outskirts of the forest. If he survives, he’ll come to find us. We’ll just need to wait for him somewhere!”“All right. Then let’s head down first. We’ll fly for a few hours before resting for the night to treat everyone’s injuries and allow everyone to replenish their Chi. We’ll head out again tomorrow morning fo
“Haha! Come on, little Cloud! Don’t you want to avenge your little brother? Let’s see if you can catch me first, you bird brain! Do you still want revenge? Dream on!” Inside the light shield, over the forest, Fane controlled his flying sword and glided through the air at lightning speed, maintaining a distance where the other party could not reach him at all. He turned back and mocked the other party. “You b*stard! Do you think I can’t catch up with you? Don’t be too cocky just because you have an ultimate-grade spiritual tool!” Cloud was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Then he flipped his palm, took out a talisman paper, and injected some Chi energy into it. The talisman paper immediately emitted some light. Cloud then pasted it on his body, and out of a sudden, his speed dramatically increased by double. “What the heck?” Fane gasped aloud. He had never seen such a treasure before. Seeing the distance between them becoming closer and closer, Fane’s face blanched and turn
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
