Fane looked at David, who was on the brink of death, and suddenly let out a laugh. "Do you still remember what I told you before?"David coughed violently as he looked up slowly after hearing Fane's words, his expression muddled with conflict.Fane did not wait for David to answer as he continued, "I told you that I'd make you repeat everything you said after entering the isolated space. I kept you alive instead of continuing to torture you to death precisely for this!"He slowly bent his knee as he spoke, staring right into David's eyes. He looked on and said, "You said I was too arrogant, that a mere alchemist could never dare to challenge you. You said I didn't know my place and that you'd show me, through your actions, the gap between the two of us. Do you remember all that?"Fane was unperturbed when he spoke as if he was talking about what he had for dinner. David's lips twitched as he could not stop himself from thinking about what had happened in the waiting area.He had h
"Before this, someone said that Fane was an alchemist without any background. Could a wandering warrior really reach his heights? Not only is his alchemy exceptional, but his prowess is extraordinary too. He's no regular guy. Fane can't be a mere wandering warrior!"After that person said that, the wandering warriors around him shot back."Please don't mindlessly speculate. Just because you think it's impossible, doesn't mean others can't do it. So what if he's a wandering warrior? Are wandering warriors not allowed to be geniuses?"There are plenty of hidden geniuses among wandering warriors. Are disciples from high-grade clans the only ones allowed to be geniuses? I hate ignorant fools who like to assume things like you!"The viewing area was filled with arguments, while David was barely holding on to his final thread in the isolated space. He had no response to what Fane had said. He only felt like he was incredibly humiliating, and that he was a complete joke.David slowly rai
"The only thing I can say is, there's always someone better. This guy is an absolute genius!"Before arriving at the Whirling World, I had a feeling there would be a monster who was able to use a lower ultimate god rank technique gathered among all the geniuses in the Whirling World. I can't believe I saw one so quickly!""It's unbelievable. We thought he was a weakling with a damaged brain, but he's practically a god among us!"Due to what David said, the viewing area was completely bustling. Compared to how excited everyone was, however, the expressions of the Unbreaking Pavilion's disciples were all sullen as if they were at a family funeral.The inner disciple from before looked at the massive scroll in the air helplessly. After a long time, he slowly said, "What kind of misfortune have we brought on ourselves? A lower ultimate god rank technique? That's not something to be played around with. Can we even deal with it?"Another inner disciple next to him said, "Of course we ca
He could not believe that an expert like that was hidden among the 10, but who was it? Why had he failed to sense that person before?Chris had a certain level of understanding of Edward. From the attacks, the two of them had not died to Edward. Who was this, then? How did this person hide everything so well that even Chris failed to notice?At that moment, Chris was no longer in the mood to care about Fane. The first thing he needed to do was to find this person before making his plans. He could leave the others aside for the moment, but this person had to die.He could not leave this person to live on. If he did, unforeseen surprises might happen!Chris' eyebrows furrowed tightly as his expression soured. He had thought that winning the slaughter gambit would be incredibly easy, but it seemed like he had been too optimistic.He took a deep breath as he looked up. The clear skies had no clouds in them, and everything looked incredibly peaceful. However, he knew that the slaughter
Those words triggered Trevor. He was downright furious as he narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Even a wandering warrior like you dares to look down on me? True, my rankings aren't as good as the others, but that's something from half a year ago, and I've already improved greatly since then. I wouldn't even be afraid of David, let alone you!"If you were Chris, I wouldn't have said anything, but who do you think you are to look down on me? I'm already being very polite by not regarding you with contempt, but I can't believe you'd repay my kindness like that!"Marco frowned and sneered, his anger starting to burn as his lips twitched slightly. "Don't think you can defeat me just because you're from a high-grade clan! Ever since I started as a warrior, I've killed so many so-called geniuses."They might be talented, but their practical combat experience was dirt-poor. These daggers in my hands have drunk the blood of quite a few geniuses, and you'll be one of them!"As he s
Marco's words had thoroughly angered Trevor, and they both regarded each other as mortal enemies internally. The atmosphere suddenly grew tense as if they were both ready to attack at the next moment.At that moment, footsteps were suddenly heard in the distance. The two of them paused at the same time as they turned and looked over.They saw a man in green robes walking over towards them slowly.That person seemed incredibly calm as if he was admiring the sights. When Trevor saw who it was, his expression suddenly changed.His lips twitched as his head filled with anger. "So it's you, Fane. I can't believe you came looking for me before I even found you. It looks like you really want to die by my hands!"When Fane heard that, his lips curled up in an easygoing smile. Trevor was right this time, Fane really was looking for him. Before entering the slaughter gambit, Fane had already planned on dealing with Trevor himself.Trevor stared at Fane with gritted teeth. All their grudges
"I truly regret not just taking the chance and betting on Fane back then. A warrior with a lower ultimate god rank technique. Other than Chris, no one has the right to face him!""I pity Trevor a little. He must be thinking that he'll be able to squash Fane like an ant and that his actions are driven by a mad mind. He'll soon realize how laughable those thoughts are!""I'm beginning to feel bad for him. With Fane's temper, there's no way Fane will let Trevor off easy. I'm certain that he'll torture Trevor for even longer than he tortured David."No one had anything to say about that thought either. Unless Trevor was using a lower ultimate god rank technique as well, he stood no chance.Everyone already knew the results of that fight. The ones with the most complicated emotions at that moment were the other disciples of the Pentagram Clan.At that moment, Evan and the others were still at the gambling area. Not a single person had left the viewing area, so there was no space for th
Rudy did not say all of that to challenge them, but merely because that was what he thought. In the end, the fact that Trevor had managed to be safe for so long was because his skills were not that strong, but not that weak either. He came from a high-grade clan and although he could not compare to Chris, Edward, and their ilk, he was not weak.Chris and the others had seemingly left a mark on everyone else. Trevor had basically been hoodwinked into this slaughter gambit. He had joined because he did not want Fane to be killed by anyone else.He did not know that anyone would leave a mark on him, so he had not checked for them at all. Naturally, they had yet to be cleared. Everyone who left a mark on him knew where Trevor was at that moment, but he had not been targeted because he possessed skills and came from a good background.Chris, Edward, and the others wanted to get rid of the weakest before the final battle started. That would prevent any unexpected situations and Trevor h
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.
