Fane raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Rudy, "Normally, I'd torture him with the exact method that he threatened to do to me. It's just a pity that I'm short on time. I don't really know how much I can earn. Every second I waste might be five million spirit crystals less."Right after he said that, he pointed forward, and the blade pushed forward. Guzman let out a final cry of agony before his body stopped moving. Fane said, "You're lucky."Fane did not bother sparing the corpse another glance as he brought Rudy forward. The two of them had walked for some time when Rudy finally broke the silence."Do you have any plans? I feel like you're definitely going to aim for the top three standings, but the top three standings don't care about your skill. It's down to how many people you kill. Should we figure out a plan to find even more targets?"Fane turned to look at Rudy. He took a deep breath as he looked into the distance, "I did have a plan before this, but the plan has been
After the constant attacks from the warrior from Sacred Water Continent, his robes were incredibly ripped. Hence, Fane and Rudy had no way to see it from a distance. Rudy furiously said, "It's actually Alfred Long! I can't believe we're seeing him here! He's a chosen disciple from Phoenix Valley!"Back when both of them were in Phoenix Valley, the alchemists and martial artists had been separated. Rudy had never interacted with the warriors before, even though Fane had. However, at the Hestia Continent's area under the Red Sun Monument, Rudy had seen quite a few chosen disciples from Phoenix Valley.Those chosen disciples did not recognize Fane and Rudy and did not know who they were. Fane had entered and left in a hurry, so he did not recognize any of them even though he had earned their respect. Rudy was different. When Fane was climbing the Red Sun, Rudy had gotten to know quite a few of the warriors there since he had been around. So, he immediately recognized Alfred. He still
Could that guy know who he was? That thought was quickly discarded from Fane's mind.Rudy and he were not in the main group. Other than a very small number of alchemists, no one would know the two of them. Furthermore, any warriors who managed to enter a level four city would definitely be a chosen disciple of Phoenix Valley. They would never have had the chance to interact.That person probably shouted that way because Fane was the shield of Hestia Continent. With that in mind, Fane was already next to Alfred, shielding Alfred behind him.He looked at the warrior from Sacred Water Continent coldly. That warrior smirked at Fane."You know him? He's a warrior from Hestia Continent too? That's great then. I'll deal with you two together. If not for the slaughter game, you wouldn't be worth ten million spirit crystals. You should thank the slaughter game for your value!"The warrior was basically calling Fane and Alfred trash. Alfred was already used to it. He had been chased by that
Alfred looked at Fane full of hope. To him, Fane was a hero of Hestia Continent. He was someone unbeatable, so what if he was facing a disciple of a holy grade clan? Even chosen disciples from holy grade clans were no match for Fane, let alone an inner disciple.Rudy helped Alfred to sit up, producing a pill from his storage ring for him. Raul looked at everything with interest. He did not even react when Alfred recovered, allowing them to do so.He looked incredibly confident as if he was telling the three of them that he was in control no matter what they did. They would not be able to escape him. Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at Raul with some interest.Raul walked forward, looking at Fane, "It looks like you're quite a bit stronger than that guy."Fane merely smiled, not bothering to respond. Raul was not annoyed by it and merely said to himself, "Three of you would be worth fifteen million and I'll be able to get fifteen million in one go. I haven't even been here for th
Raul pursed his lips in exasperation. This kid…was truly something else.He initially thought that Fane was just a brainless fool with how Fane looked down on him. Surprisingly, Fane proved to be much worse over time.Raul narrowed his eyes. "I had planned on torturing both you and Alfred slowly to death, but I've changed my mind now. Punishing you as gently as I did with Alfred would be too kind for you, so I have a hundred crueler ways to deal with you. It's the price you pay for being arrogant."Fane calmly listened to everything he said. A thought flashed in Fane's head, and he suddenly smirked and said, "I saw you attacking earlier. You were using a soul attribute technique. Are you a soul attribute warrior?"Guzman had been from Sacred Water Continent and had used the soul attribute as well. The man in front of him also used the soul attribute, so Fane could not help but wonder if the Sacred Water Continent had a lot of soul attribute techniques and soul attribute warriors.
Fane felt that his funds were far less than forgivable. Time was slipping away, and a few months had already passed in the Whirling World. The Whirling World was only open for two years, and he would need to return to the real world afterward. Thus, he wanted to gain as much wealth as he could before he was forced to leave.Even though challenges lurked at every corner of the Whirling World, Fane felt like it was comparatively safe because of the age restriction. There was not a single warrior in the Whirling World that could kill Fane. However, without those restrictions in the outside world, Fane would truly be in danger.That was why he decided to accumulate as much wealth as he could before he had to leave.Raul's lips twitched in exasperation as he truly believed Fane was incomprehensible. This man did not seem to show any emotion at all when he spoke!Yet, Raul could still feel the pride behind Fane's words. It was as if no one in the Whirling World was worth his notice, much
Raul cackled as he cast Fane a disdainful look. Fane, on the other hand, merely inhaled deeply and ignored his blatant mockery.Alfred and Rudy were actually not too surprised at what was happening.The two of them knew who Fane was. In Alfred's eyes, Fane was not from any clan either. He was a wandering warrior that relied on his skills and talents. Rudy, of course, knew Fane better, and he knew that the most valuable things in Fane's storage were those spirit crystals. He had used up everything else that was valuable.Raul took a good few seconds before he could compose himself after his laughter. When he finally stopped, he looked at Fane tauntingly before he retrieved a box from his storage ring. He slowly opened the box, and the dense smell emanated.Everyone's eyes widened at the sight.Alfred stiffened and said somewhat excitedly, "Is this…an Azure Soul Fruit?"Raul nodded proudly. "The Azure Soul Fruit is a holy-grade fruit worth at least seventy million on the market. It
With Raul as the center, his surroundings started to dim as though night was falling. A blood-red moon slowly rose behind him, staining the darkness in red.Raul scoffed. "I plan on ending this quickly so you'll know what being truly strong means."Raul had planned on going easy instead of showing his full strength, but he changed his mind the moment he sensed the dense energy in the Broken Soul Blade. He was worried that something unexpected would happen. Even though it was incredibly unlikely, it was better to be safe and merciless than sorry.Raul let out a shout as his hands moved again. The sun behind him started to turn into a blood-red blade. Like an arrow, it shot right at Fane.Fane raised an eyebrow before he slowly pushed forward, sending the Broken Soul Blade toward Raul at an imperceptible speed.The two techniques clashed in the air, and as a result of the collision between the black light and the strange red hue, their surroundings darkened. Even though the lights w
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.
