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
Ronaldo's voice was cold as his expression twisted into a sinister grin. It was as if he had truly transformed into the God of Death and he held everyone's fate in his hands. In the metal cage, the woman saw the look of despair on Lara's face and burst into uncontrollable laughter."And you think you can stand against me?"Woody coldly glanced at Ronaldo, and it infuriated him instantly. "You reckless kid! You're asking for death!"Now that his true identity had been revealed, Woody should have immediately dropped to his knees!However, this young man dared to defy him and even had the audacity to talk back.He was truly asking for trouble!Since that was the case, Ronaldo made no effort to hold back. As he flicked the Judge's Brush, it instantly transformed into a shooting star and aimed straight toward Woody's chest. That was his most powerful strike!He was fueled by resentment and malice, he put all his strength into the attack and didn't hold back. It was essent
He was the infamous Judge Lundy! Over 20 years ago, he had already made a name for himself in the martial arts world. When people heard Judge Lundy's name, who wouldn't turn pale with fear?His name could even scare children into silence. 20 years later, never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the once formidable person who could outshine even spirits and deities would be so terrified by a young man. Where did he even come from?Woody really was a monster. He was so young yet so unfathomably powerful. Even Judge Lundy himself couldn't last a single move against him! Mere moments ago, he had mocked Glen, Nick, and Randall, he thought they were useless because they couldn't even defeat a young man.But Ronaldo couldn't fight him either. He had underestimated him! It was a pity that he only realized it now and it was clearly too late!"I'm asking you one last time, where is Mabel?"Ronaldo was well aware that the sword energy between Woody's two fingers coul
Lara's eyes widened as she saw Ronaldo crawling out from the rubble and he attempted to flee. She quickly alerted Woody.However, the previously invincible Woody was now noticeably a half-beat slower. By the time he turned his head to look, Ronaldo had already disappeared into the darkness and he was out of sight."What's wrong with you?" Lara immediately scolded him loudly, "You can't just let him escape! He's definitely going back to report, and Ms. Swenson will be in danger!"Woody looked over with a cold expression and said, "Are you teaching me how to do my job?""Uhh..."Lara's body tensed up in fear; those terrifying eyes!She felt like an ancient beast had locked its gaze on her, ready to end her life at any moment. This fear chilled her to the bone!She and her fellow Shadow Guards were used to more than just protection work; they often took on tasks that involved eliminating threats for their masters. Killing and looting were not beyond them. Lara had always th
Jasper erupted in fury, he pointed at the Shadow Guards' bodies on the ground as he roared, "You just stood there, watched our people get slaughtered, and did nothing!"How can you be so heartless? Do human lives truly mean nothing to you?"Lara, having just climbed out of the cage, became furious when she heard this. Seeing the gruesome deaths of her team members, Lara exploded with anger. "You're no better than a beast, leaving them to die like that!"Woody's fundamental beliefs were completely shaken by these two standing before him. "Who was it that ordered me to follow her commands?" Woody asked coldly.Jasper was taken aback. He stiffened his neck and said, "What do you mean? Don't try to change the subject. We're talking about how you stood by and did nothing when they needed help."Woody ignored him and angrily questioned Lara, "And who was it that ordered me not to move?""I..." Lara stammered, suddenly at a loss for words.Woody said in a cold tone, "Do I know you
"Who dares to barge into my place? Do you have a death wish?" Harvey barked and he was visibly displeased."Ms. Whales, something terrible has happened!" The intruder shouted loudly.Briella's expression tightened and she quickly stood up. "Ronaldo?"She was utterly shocked to find that the man before her in tattered clothing, covered in blood, and his arm twisted like a pretzel, was none other than Ronaldo.How could this happen? For as long as Briella could remember, Ronaldo had been an invincible figure.She had never seen him lose to anyone.Yet now, disheveled couldn't be used to describe his current state!He looked like a beaten stray dog, so terrified and couldn't feel at ease even for a moment.It was truly awful!"Is this Ronaldo?" Harvey's eyes widened in disbelief, equally astonished.Briella had always spoken of him as an unmatched force, both in heaven and on earth. But now, he looked worse than a beggar who lived in a pile of trash. "How did this happen? Wh
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.
