For whoever who possessed combat power comparable to a king of war was certainly not going to volunteer to be a bodyguard. So the other party was obviously pretending to be a king of war, but in reality, he was probably afraid, at the same time, did not want to admit weakness due to his image. Thus, he had asked Miles Stone to go in, so that he could pay Miles off and Miles would let him off the hook. “Heh! I’m a five-star king of war, and you’re making me go in to meet him? Are you sure?” Miles snorted frostily, his face was releasing an aura of resentment. “Brat, hurry up and ask your Captain to come out, or else I’ll end your life here!” Hunter got a little impatient. He stepped forward, choked the bodyguard, and lifted him up high in mid-air. Hunter thought that the bodyguard would wet his pants out of fear. Nonetheless, the other party did not even show a hint of fear, but rather he shot Hunter a deadly stare. “If you want to kill, then kill. Do you think I’m afraid of d
“Don’t, please don’t, Sir Celestino! Your hands must not shake, if they do, we’ll be in trouble!” Miles did not know whether to cry or laugh at the situation. Then he was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. “Sir, I really didn’t expect to see you here. Okay! It’s set now, I’ll come here again tomorrow!” “You’re coming here again tomorrow?” Skyler smiled faintly. Miles burst out in laughter. “Haha, I’ll come over to visit you tomorrow. Let’s have some drinks and talk. I couldn’t do it today, because there are a few people waiting for me outside!” “I see. But you can’t leave right now! I’ve poured you a cup of tea, you have to at least finish it before you leave!” Miles was one of his close subordinates. They have both experienced life and death moments on the battlefield. Hence, Skyler was in a good mood after meeting Miles. “Haha! Alright then!” Miles chatted with Skyler for a while, then bottomed up the tea in front of him, only then did he walk toward the gate by himse
“Umm. The mysterious person inside is not someone we can afford to offend. If we go according to the plan, it’s equivalent to digging graves for ourselves!” Miles chuckled, loosening up the tensed atmosphere. “Do you know who the captain of bodyguards is? He’s an eight-star king of war, Skyer Celestino! My former boss on the battlefield, moreover he’d saved my life before! If we were to fight against him, we’d die within a few minutes!” “What the f*ck? An eight-star king of war?” One of the four-star kings of war was bewildered at the news. He was so frightened that he held his breath until he almost passed out. “Sir Stone, this is not a joke, right? The eight-star king of war, Skyler Celestino, is actually in there, serving as the captain of bodyguards?” The four-star king of war could barely squeeze out a few words. “Impossible! How is that possible?” Hunter had his face turned unsightly. If that was the case, his plan for revenge had to be flushed down into the drain. Un
“Hah, don’t worry, Young Master Quinton. Of course, I remember our deal!” Over the phone, Peace’s voice rang out again, “But we can’t go along with our original plan!” Caleb’s expression darkened when he heard that. Was that man going to change his mind so quickly? Still, he was well aware that he could not do anything even if Peace abruptly changed his plans. After all, the Chaffman family was too strong. He would not have gone to them in the first place otherwise. “Heh, there was only one woman before, that’s why we agreed upon taking turns. But it’s different now—there are two women. I’ve thought about it already. Give me the beautiful lady from yesterday, and you can have that woman in the mask. How about that?” Peace quickly replied the next second, chuckling. When he heard this, Caleb’s heart leaped in delight. Peace had probably never seen the woman in the mask before, so he assumed that she would not match the demure beauty from yesterday in terms of looks. In rea
They clenched their teeth and threw all of their strength into fighting him. Bam! A loud noise resounded. The huge man stood rooted in his spot, unmoving, yet the two bodyguards have been sent flying backward. “Ah!” The two clinched their arms. The arms they had used to attack had broken bones now. “Not bad. But you unwittingly walked into a death trap by running into these two fighters of mine!” Peace gave a cold smile, radiating an arrogant aura. “Kill–kill them!” Caleb cried out from the side. He had been beaten twice, and now he could finally see retribution falling upon his enemy. “Die!” The huge man’s lips curled into a frosty smile. He pulled out a sword from behind his back. Whoosh! He swung the sword ferociously. A thin, pressurized air blade suddenly flew straight toward the two bodyguards on the ground. Whoosh! Yet another air blade sliced forward just as the two bodyguards were about to be killed, stopping the huge man’s air blade. “Who?” The
“Hah. What a mouth you have. Listen here, bud, I’m Peace Chaffman, a young master of a second-class aristocratic family. Are you kidding me? You dare to offend the Chaffman family?” Peace immediately burst into laughter when he heard that. “Besides, I don’t believe that you have the ability to defeat the two fighters I have here!” “A second-class aristocratic family?” Even Skyler was stunned by his words. After all, Fane and the others had just arrived here. Furthermore, Fane had declared that he had other matters to attend to. He did not wish to cause trouble here in Swallow city. If he truly killed this young master from a second-class aristocratic family, he would be blowing the issue up. The master of the Chaffman family and their other fighters would definitely attempt to avenge their young master. He did not fear the Chaffman family, but they most certainly had plenty of men. If he destroyed the entire Chaffman family, Fane, Selena, and the others would soon be attrac
“Don’t–don’t kill us!” Caleb’s legs immediately crumpled beneath him when he realized that only he and Peace were left; he dropped onto his knees. “Please, let me go this once. I’m a young master of a second-class aristocratic family. I won’t dare to do something like this again!” Peace had never seen a scenario like this before. His feet went cold, and he was so terrified that he wet his pants. Just like Caleb, his knees turned into jelly and he plopped onto the ground. At that moment, Skyler was absolutely terrifying to them. He had killed without batting an eyelash. They had never seen such a terrifying scene before. “You injured two of my disciples. I killed all these men as punishment, so we’ll call it even. Get out of my sight!” Skyler cast a cold glare at the two men who were on the ground. “I won’t let you off so easily if you dare to show your face here again!” “Don’t worry. We’ll never come here again!” Caleb wiped away the cold sweat filming over his forehead
“What’s wrong? Is it too little?” Fane’s lips curled into a bitter smile as he spoke to the two young women before him. “No, no. It’s more than enough. I never thought that we’d be paid so much!” The two quickly waved their hands and replied. At this moment, an old man was seen at the entrance. He was shabbily dressed, and he seemed like a beggar. He scanned the interior of the pharmacy, hesitation in his eyes. Fane looked at the old man, sensing that he was in a pickle. He stepped forward and asked, “Are you looking for something, sir?” The old man furrowed his brows. He remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking, “Young man, Chi–chinese medicine is a lot cheaper than Western medicine, right?” Fane suddenly understood everything. The old man wanted treatment, but he was probably worried that he did not have enough money to foot the medical bills. He gave a wan smile. “That’s right. Chinese medicine is a lot cheaper than going to big hospitals. But not ma
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.
