"Tear it!"The man forcefully tore off the woman's black stockings, revealing two fair and slender legs. The woman struggled desperately, but she was clearly no match for a grown man. Outside the cage, a group of men began to jeer. "Truly a top-tier beauty and definitely worth the trip!""The daughter of the prestigious Swenson family, definitely no complaints about her looks or her aura.""Being with a noble lady from a prestigious family? That's a brag that I can carry for life!""Hurry up! We're all standing out here waiting for our turn!"Inside the cage, the man smiled wickedly and said, "What's the rush? Once I'm done, it'll be your turn, haha!"He forcefully held the woman down and he was about to force himself on her. A flash of silver light swiftly streaked through the air.It pierced right through the person's forehead and it was completely embedded within.The scene seemed frozen in time as he widened his eyes, and his movements came to a halt.The moment th
A group of people shouted at the top of their lungs and stormed toward Woody.At that moment, a squad of black-clad figures suddenly attacked from an unexpected angle. They were armed with sharp blades and they cut through the crowd.Though they were few in number, they were highly trained and worked together in seamless coordination. The Iron Sword Sect disciples were caught off guard by the ambush and seven or eight of them were quickly taken down.In mere moments, their already disorganized formation was shattered. By the time they realized what was happening, the attackers took control of the situation. These attackers were none other than the shadow guards from the Swenson family and they were led by Lara. Jasper stood on a nearby rooftop as he watched the shadow guards clear everything in their path, a satisfied smile formed on his face.Just as he had anticipated, the Harringtons were no match for the shadow guards.The Iron Sword Sect was just a load of nonsense!
"Poof!"A sharp broken blade stabbed into Lara's abdomen.Fortunately, she reacted in time and avoided a fatal wound.Otherwise, this blade would have pierced through her heart.Even so, Lara's abdomen was still impaled, and blood gushed from the wound.The woman grinned grotesquely, a sinister smile spread across her face. "You actually managed to dodge that, but it doesn't matter. You're as good as dead!"With those words, she waved her hand. The metal gate dropped shut and locked itself. As a result, Lara was trapped inside.The metal cage was already cramped, she was restricted by her long blade and combined with the wound on her abdomen, Lara felt dizzy and her vision began to cloud. The woman casually brushed her hair back, then charged forward brandishing a dagger.She could easily dodge and weave, her movements were exceptionally agile.After just two exchanges, Lara was at a disadvantage, her arm sliced open by the blade, leaving a deep gash. "Captain!" Outsid
"Aren't you always complaining to me that it is too big and you can't handle it every night?""Don't worry, I'll only use her as a tool, and I promise it's just physical with no feelings attached!"Both of them spoke in an incredibly vulgar manner, without caring about the people around them.Lara was extremely furious; she felt embarrassed and angry!But the cage in front of her left her feeling helpless."Captain, I'll rescue you!"The last two remaining Shadow Guards continued hacking at the iron bars with their swords.However, they were ambushed and killed by the Chapman brothers, with their chests pierced through concurrently.Glen drew out his machete, and Nick pulled out his spear.Two gushes of blood shot into the cage simultaneously.Lara was heartbroken as her entire squad had been wiped out!She had shared a deep bond with her team; they lived together, trained together, and carried out missions together.They weren't family but they were closer than that. Her
"What did you just say?"Ronaldo sneered disdainfully and said, "Young man, do you dare to repeat what you just said?"Even Lara couldn't bear to listen anymore, she shook her head in frustration and said, "Are you crazy? Do you even know what you're saying? You are as insignificant as an ant, yet completely unaware of it. Will you die if you stop spouting such nonsense?"What good is there in provoking them? Other than getting yourself killed faster! You can't defeat them anyway, I've never seen someone as foolish as you."Ronaldo smiled smugly. "Young man, did you hear what your own people said?"If you had taken the opportunity to escape just now, you might have had a slim chance. Unfortunately, your arrogance led you to choose this path to death."Randall and the Chapman brothers all had mocking expressions on their faces.Woody remained calm and in a cold tone, he said, "I'll ask only once, where is Mabel?"This incident had started because of Woody.Mabel had gotten caug
Poof!Terry couldn't hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.His body was sent flying backward, his hands couldn't hold onto the broadsword and it flew out of his hands. Randall fared no better, rapidly retreating with his feet dragged on the ground, unable to keep his balance. Woody lifted both hands calmly and made a grasping motion in mid-air. Two broadswords that were spinning in the air suddenly came to a halt.One blade shot straight toward Terry's skull, while the other sliced horizontally toward Randall's waist.Whoosh!A flash of sword light followed!A thin, thread-like blood appeared on Terry's forehead and extended downward.After it passed through the neck, the clothes on his chest split open with an unnaturally smooth cut. The bloodstain deepened and it quickly turned into a fissure.Before the horrified eyes of the onlookers, Terry's body split vertically. It looked like a carcass being butchered into two halves. On the other side, Randal
"Stubborn fools!"Woody had already given them a chance.Killing wasn't his objective, but they insisted on handing him their heads, and not cutting it down would feel like an insult to fate! One of the Chapman brothers wielded a knife and the other a spear. Being twins who had grown up together, their synergy was unparalleled. One advanced from the left, the other from the right, they maintained perfect harmony in their movements. When Lara saw this scene, her eyes turned red with fury, as if they were about to burst into flames.She clearly remembered how these two siblings had used their strategy to kill six Shadow Guards, images of her teammates' tragic deaths flashed rapidly through her mind. Glen and Nick's first move was a lethal attack!It was clear that they had no concern for sparing Woody's life. "Feel free to give it your all. Even if he is left with just a single breath, I can make sure he stays alive."Ronaldo smiled sinisterly and said arrogantly, "Witho
They never expected to die in the hands of an unknown youngster. Lara was utterly astonished, and her face was filled with disbelief.He was surprisingly strong!Reflecting on her previous actions and the disdainful remarks she made about Woody, her emotions became incredibly conflicted. "Your turn!" Woody's sharp gaze landed on Ronaldo. This was exactly why he had mercilessly killed Randall, Terry, and the Chapman brothers.Killing them wouldn't be the end. There were still others to interrogate about Mabel's whereabouts."Young man, your strength has exceeded my expectations. I admit I underestimated you."After a brief moment of surprise, Ronaldo quickly regained his composure, and his expression turned vicious once again."But if you think that killing those four would be enough to take control of the situation, you're daydreaming!"Ronaldo gave a disdainful smile and calmly extended his right hand.As he twisted his wrist, a bronze brush suddenly appeared in his pa
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
