“Mother, Father… A guy named Fane did this to me. He stays at Elegant Villa Park and has occupied about twenty villas there. Fane lives there with the others,” sobbed Dylan to his parents, lamenting his fate. “Mother, Father, you have to avenge me. I… I can’t be a normal man for the rest of my life. I rather die than live like this!”“Son, you mustn’t have such suicidal thoughts. Don’t worry—we’ll definitely avenge you,” assured Kane.Louisa, meanwhile, commented, “Ask the seven-star King of War, Walter Lamington to come here. Don’t he owe us a favor? It’s time for him to return that favor. It’d be easy for a seven-star King of War to destroy a small power we’ve never heard of.”To that, Dylan quickly responded, “Mother, don’t ask Walter to come over—that Fane guy is too much. I brought Walter with me when I went to him because that guy killed many of our masters. I never, ever thought Walter would fail to contend against Fane, and I think he’s dead from Fane’s sword attack!”“What
“There’s trouble, Master. I realized that there’s someone monitoring our movements around the house!” Walter came before Fane the next day, reporting with a solemn expression. Fane, who was drinking tea in the garden, did not seem to care. He gave a wan smile. “Then who do you think it is?” he asked. “It must be from the Wagner family. They were afraid that we would take off. But they didn’t attack us because they don’t have proper fighters in their family. They are a third-class aristocratic family after all. Aside from me, their best fighters are those who are the same level as a three-star King of War. That’s why they don’t dare to attack! “As for the fighter from the Lowe family, it’ll take him at least a day to rush over from Gin City. That’s why the Wagner family is keeping tabs on us, they’re afraid that we’ll run away!” After Walter said all that, he asked Fane, “What should we do now, Master?” Fane gestured for him to sit down. “Skyler had already told me about thi
The man who made the report could not help but twist his lips into a bitter smile. A fighter as strong as that would have a significant presence, and plenty of people would be pandering to him. Yet he had been killed by that punk. “Hold on. Was the seven-star King of War killed by the eight-star King of War from the Woods family, or someone else?” Peace quickly thought of something and asked hurriedly. “He was killed by Fane Woods!” The man replied. When they heard this, Peace exchanged a glance with his father. They both took a sharp intake of breath. Fane’s fighting prowess must be no joke. Luckily they had not acted rashly. His fighting ability as well as that King of War’s were terrifying enough, never mind the masked woman. The woman seemed like she was no pushover as well. “Fane is not easy to deal with. Thank God we didn’t act rashly!” The old master of the Chaffman family considered the situation, then he spoke, “The Wagner family has only one son, and he’s infert
The next morning, the Chaffman family set out early to a street that was near to Fane and his family’s house. They quickly found themselves seats at a snack shop, watching the villa before them as they ate. Anticipation swelled within Peace. He kept staring at the villa’s entrance, now free of chaos. He was well aware that the peace was temporary—the calm before the storm. After the clock hit ten, a few men from the Wilson family came over, along with over 200 fighters from Gin City. “They’re here, they’re here. Quick! Inform the master!” The two bodyguards noticed the retinue from afar and immediately cried out, running. Fane made everyone else hide in the house. He took Lana, Skyler, Walter, Pendragon, Dennis, and a few dozen other men to the empty space before the villa’s gates, waiting for the enemy to arrive. “Hah. I never thought you’d be here waiting for us!” Master Wagner burst into laughter when he saw this. “Are you the b*stard who dared to do something like
Bang! A powerful force erupted, and a frightening wave of energy rushed out from the fist, a result of a shockwave. “What!” The old man quickly sensed the terrifying amount of strength in Fane’s fist. Terror filled his eyes. “Pfft!” He flew a few meters back before stopping. Blood spat out of his mouth. “Dad!” Louisa cried out when she saw that the old man was injured, not believing the sight before her. Her father was as strong as a nine-star King of War. Nearly everyone deferred to him in Gin City, yet he was injured by just that one blow from the punk. “I’ll forget everything that happened if all of you leave now. But if you don’t, and if you keep causing trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Fane laced his fingers behind his back, speaking in a lofty tone. “What should we do? This punk…” The old woman immediately stepped forward and asked the old man. “I’m fine. It’s just that he has a good arm!” The old man glared at Fane and wiped the blood from
Walter was extremely excited when the idea appeared in his head—Fane, the Supreme Warrior! No one had ever seen his face before, and even his name was not known. Yet he had the chance to meet the Supreme Warrior, to witness his skills and fight alongside him. He would have never dreamed of something like that, but now he was in such close proximity with the Supreme Warrior. If Fane was truly the Supreme Warrior, he would be able to take out all these people in front of him with ease. Plus, he would not need to even use his full strength—it would be as easy as breathing for him. However, he knew that the Supreme Warrior was someone who liked to keep a low profile. It was likely the reason why he had kept his identity a secret in the first place. No one knew his name all this while, although he had contributed greatly to the nation. “Walter, why are you staring into space?” Skyler noticed that Walter was staring at Fane, and palpable excitement flashed in the man’s eyes, so he
The old couple was even more frightened when they saw their men falling one by one around them. Now they finally understood that Fane had truly been giving them a chance to live. Still, it was too late for regrets. “Die!” In a flash, Fane appeared between the old couple, sweeping his sword in a circular motion. The action formed a frightening air blade; it caught the light in a furious glint. The old couple and nearly ten of the Lowe family’s fighters were all caught within the attack’s radius. Bang bang bang! All of them flew backward and landed on the ground with heavy thumps, no longer breathing. “Dad! Mom!” Louisa released a shriek when she saw her parents killed so easily. Only now did she realize that it was a foolish decision to bring her parents along to exact revenge. Not only did she not get her revenge, but she also led them to their deaths. In a moment, nearly a hundred of their men had died; only half were left. “No–no way!” Some of the Lowe family’s
“Take care of the bodies!” Fane’s lips twisted into a bitter smile when he saw the bodies all over the ground. He had wanted to find the dragon scale without creating a ruckus, and he had never wanted to cause trouble in the first place. He never thought that it would end up like this. The Wagner family was dead. Furthermore, plenty of fighters from Gin City had died there as well. It seemed that plenty of powerful families from Swallow City would have their eyes on him and his family now. However, now that he thought about it, it might not be a bad thing after all. At least the families who had set up a trap for him would be more cautious of him after this incident. “I was so scared with so many people coming at once. Thank God all of you are strong. We would have died otherwise!” Fiona and the others emerged from the house as they saw that the bodyguards were cleaning up the bodies. Fiona patted her chest. It was evident that she was still recovering from the shock. “
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.
