Those words had unmasked mockery within them. Rudy had always been an arrogant person. Being looked at like that made it feel like a boulder was pressing against his heart.However, he could not say anything at all. That was because the other person was right. In the eyes of a spring solidifying realm expert, their strength was of no significant. They were people who could just be killed with a pinch.However, he did not expect Malcolm to insult them in such a pleased manner. He abruptly turned to look at Fane as a surprised expression flashed on his face. The two of them might be minnows, but Fane was a true expert.Even a spring solidifying realm beast was nothing to Fane, let alone these two. Thinking about that, he wanted to show off with Fane, but Fane grabbed his arm.Fane hatefully glared at Rudy. Rudy was really very dumb. Fane whispered into Rudy's ears, "Shut up right now!"Rudy was so scared he shuddered at Fane's gaze. He did not dare to speak anymore. Grayson ended up
At that moment, there was nothing else to say. Fane took out the gray sword from Mustard Seed before he launched himself right at Malcolm.Hansel's body twisted, facing Jordan with all his injuries!Malcolm saw Fane charging at him, and could not help but frown. He could still not see how strong Fane was, but the two of them had clearly delegated their tasks. Fane was going to fight him while Hansel fought Jordan.It was easy to see from that, that Fane was stronger than Jordan! With that in mind, Malcolm could not help but be nervous.However, there was no time for him to think about anything then. Malcolm's sword glinted as he disappeared on the spot. That was an advantage wind-oriented fighters had.Fane was already prepared the moment he knew that Malcolm was a wind practitioner. The moment Malcolm disappeared, he distorted space. The next second, a gust of wind attacked him.Malcolm had been fifty meters apart from Fane initially. In the blink of an eye, Malcolm was right in
Fane raised an eyebrow. He was not too surprised that Malcolm recognized he was using the laws of space so quickly. After all, they were in Middle Province, not some backwater place like West Cercie State.He let out a sigh, suddenly having a different plan. Malcolm did not seem like a very good person, but he was still from a fifth-grade clan. He was an excellent chosen disciple, only ranking behind Hansel.He had plotted against Hansel probably because he wanted to take Hansel's place. He had ambition and skill, he was definitely a good whetstone.Ever since he broke through to the spring solidifying realm, he had only been through a single battle! Thinking about that, he let out a cold laugh. He held the gray sword in his hand tightly. Malcolm felt that Fane's expression was a bit strange. Fane looked like a cat that was toying around with a mouse.Just as he was feeling confused, Fane leaped forward again, heading right for him. The gray sword in Fane's hand sent out a few atta
"Hansel, can you believe that you'll actually lose to me today?!" Jordan loudly said.Fane turned around to look and saw that Jordan was in an incredibly close fight with Hansel. At that moment, Hansel might still be able to fight back, but he was already beginning to be at a disadvantage. His injuries were starting to burden him.It would not take too long for Jordan to defeat Hansel!Fane took a deep breath. If Hansel lost completely and die in Jordan’s hand, then he would end up having to fight against two by himself. He did not want himself to be in such a sticky situation, nor did he want Hansel to die just like that.With that in mind, he suddenly turned around as he started to form seals in his hands. Sixty Soul Swords floated in the air. With a clap, all of the Soul Swords instantly fused into one, turning into a massive sword.The massive Soul Sword immediately merged with the gray sword in Fane's hand. After absorbing so much energy, the gray sword started to glow radian
Malcolm had already disappeared. When Rudy saw that Malcolm had disappeared, he sat up abruptly, "Where is he? Where is Malcolm?"His loud cry had been heard not only by Grayson next to him but by Jordan and Hansel who were still fighting as well.The two of them seemed to stop fighting at the same time. They both looked over at Fane. Only Fane stood fixed to the spot as if nothing had happened.Yet, Malcolm was gone. Jordan panicked, "Malcolm? Where are you?"He did not get a response. Other than the sounds of birds and bugs around them, there were no other noises. After a long time, the shrubs not too far in front of Fane started to rustle.Jordan frowned. He no longer cared about Hansel at that moment as he hurried over to where the rustling was. He pulled something out to reveal Malcolm, who was bleeding everywhere.No wonder Malcolm had disappeared earlier. After falling to the ground, the leaves around him had all been sent flying up. Once the leaves fell again, Malcolm was
"Who are you?!" bellowed Malcolm, already heavily injured by Fane's hand. The pain coming from his soul had him on the brink of collapse.Despite his injuries, however, the burning question that haunted him could no longer be held back, and he screamed at Fane for the answer.Fane turned to look at Malcolm. At that moment, Malcolm was already hanging at his last thread, and at any moment, he could shut his eyes and pass away."And what'll happen after you know who I am, hmm? Would it change the results?" Fane's tone was light as if he was talking about something very simple.Malcolm's body became taut as his bloodshot eyes widened."Don't get too riled up, Malcolm!" hissed Jordan.Malcolm was already on the verge of death. If he died, things would look incredibly grim for Jordan. The consequences needed no further explanation.Even Malcolm had not been able to defeat the guy, let alone Jordan, who had not even entered the spring solidifying realm.Alas, Malcolm completely ignor
If Rudy knew how strong Fane was from the start, he would never have dared to pull those stunts on him. Fane had entered the spring solidifying realm at his current age and even defeated even a fifth-grade clan's chosen disciple.Rudy was no match against him at all.Grayson, too, thought the same. At that moment, they were basically in the same boat, full of regret for what they had done.Fane's expression did not change even as he stared at Jordan, who was crying out to the skies, merely raising his sword slowly.The sunlight glinted against the sword, coldly reflecting onto Jordan's face. He could feel Fane's murderous intent, and he could not help but shudder.He suddenly looked up to face Fane and noticed how he stared at him so emotionlessly. Jordan paled in fright, shuddering. He gulped as he pushed away Malcolm's body.He adjusted himself before kneeling in front of Fane. "Let me go; I was just following him! I didn't do anything... It's just that he gave me a lot of bene
Fane wasted no time as he saluted Hansel. "Go and head back to your clan, Hansel. We'll be heading to the airborne vessel." Rudy glanced at Hansel. "Do you not want to head back?"On the way, Fane had not asked what happened to Hansel nor did he ask how Malcolm had plotted against Hansel. Hansel did not open his mouth to explain either. They completed the journey quietly.Hansel took a deep breath as he smiled bitterly. "There will be some trouble after I go back, but it's fine, I have confidence. As long as I tell the truth in its entirety, I'd most likely receive only a punishment or two. There shouldn't be anything too major."Fane looked at Hansel before saying calmly, "I killed Jordan for my own reasons. It probably wouldn't have been a good thing for him to go back with you alive."Someone like him could backstab you at any given moment. Furthermore, I feel like you're a merciful person."You might not be ruthless enough against him due to your past relationship. To preven
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.
