Onimusha was just the disciple of his disciple, after all. Before the technique could even start, a dragon's roar graced the air as a golden dragon appeared from Nox's fist. This was the sign that he was using the Ultimate Sun Dragon Manual.Musashi was flabbergasted. He watched helplessly as the dragon came flying out of Nox's fist as the punch connected. Soon, golden light from the dragon swallowed the saber energy and Musashi at the same time.Half a corpse fell from the air. It was Musashi's mutilated corpse. It was swiftly followed by the ghastly mask he wore. All the killers were dead with that final thud. One hundred and twenty-four international killers, including the top assassin, had been killed by Nox's hands.Nox smiled and looked into the night. "That's about it. Time to catch a break." He disappeared into the darkness.While Nox was on a killing spree, Bear waited for him loyally at Blathanna Sect. Two hours later, Nox finally returned. Thus, Bear quickly ran up to hi
"He's my best student. Yet, he fell in Faeast? Faeast's Ancient Four must've played a part, then." Yanagawa Ikkaku released a wave of sword energy, allowing it to swirl around him. Its consistency was as thick as a gel."Men, clean my disciple's tablet," said the old man. A pair of disciples came up and tucked Musashi's tablet away."Faeast. Ever since Sensei died, I was made to swear that I would never step foot on that land. I am sorry, sensei. I'm afraid I will be breaking that oath soon." The old man looked at the far east coldly.The next day, Eastsun's biggest news agency released a piece of news that shook the nation. The nation's grandmaster of swords, Yanagawa Ikkaku, part of Kitagawa Iaijutsu, had left the temple.…Onimusha, the top assassin, was slain in Faeast. To make matters worse, his body was ripped in two. Black Mamba had died as well, but her body was nowhere to be found. Cook the Destroyer, the number seven killer, was dead. His remains were nothing but a pile
It was a bloody night. However, everyone in Blathanna Sect, aside from Nox, Bear, and Selina, went on with their lives as usual. When all was said and done, no one knew what had happened.Nevertheless, the southwest's Shadow Division had a busy night. They had to clean up Nox's mess and calm the nervous public down. After all, more than a hundred killers were murdered.Nox summoned Bear to his room the first thing in the morning. Bear came in all giddy. "Milord, you are awesome. The killers you killed include the Black Mamba, the Destroyer, and the Onimusha. That's number three, number seven, and a member of Eastsun's most prominent temple!"Nox smiled. "I need you to get me an address.""Whose?" Bear asked."Titus Soundra, the owner of Soundra Entertainment. I want to know his exact location," Nox said coolly.Bear was stunned. "You're going to take the bastard out?""Of course. Madison will always live in fear of him if I don't kill him. He has to die."Bear guffawed. "That's
"So, you can't even talk about the small bumps now?"This put Nox in an awkward situation. He couldn't tell Queenie he just killed more than a hundred international killers. Plus, he was on his way to kill the leader of Faeast's entertainment industry.Nox mulled over his answer and finally said, "Just trust me, Queenie. I'll spend the rest of my day with you, alright?"Queenie knew everyone had their own little secrets. So, she said, "Fine. We're going back to Riverton after this.""Um, this is sudden. Why?" Nox asked."It's been a while since this road trip started. I need to return. My folks are in Riverton, and my company's there too," Queenie muttered.Nox thought she had a point. Riverton was Queenie's hometown. It was only natural that she missed it. "Sure. We're leaving for Riverton once I'm done with the matters at hand.""Okay." Queenie's ruffled feathers were soothed.Nox left for the outskirts. Thanks to Jesse pulling the strings, a helicopter landed on a clearing a
The owner of this titan at sea was none other than Titus Soundra, the tycoon of the entertainment industry. Over the last couple of days, Pier at the Beach had been bustling and teeming with people.The east realm's charity banquet would be held in SS Century, and Faeast's celebrities and directors weren't the only guests; rumors had it that Titus would make an appearance as well.Dusk had just fallen, but the Pier at the Beach was already bathed in light. Fleets of luxury cars came to a stop at the pier. This was the last night for the charity banquet, and it would be the most lavish of all.The celebrities and guests were making their way onto the cruise ship. At the same time, a helicopter was whirring toward the cruise ship."We're almost there, Mr. Greenshade," said Jesse. They were accompanied by a pilot.Nox, who was in black attire, stood proudly in the helicopter. He stared at the cruise ship with blazing eyes. "That's the vessel?""Yes, Mr. Greenshade," said Jesse."Go
Of course, the sea of Front Beach had smaller boats aside from the cruise ship. While Nox was running across the sea with a big wave trailing behind him, a gaunt, tanned man on a boat on the left saw him."Dear gods. Hey, Voss, look!"Voss looked up. When he saw a silhouette galloping across the sea and was followed by a trail of waves behind, his eyes went wide. "Dear gods, is… is that thing flying across the sea?"The gaunt man whipped his phone out. "I gotta post this. I'm gonna be famous!"He was about to take the video, but Voss snatched his phone away. "You can't take this video!"Stunned, the gaunt fisherman blurted, "Why?""Because that's the dragon king."'The dragon king?' The gaunt man was surprised. The people who lived by the sea believed in the legend of the dragon king. Due to their fishing activities, they worshipped the dragon king living within the seas.Voss felt his faith strengthen as he saw the silhouette traveling across the sea. The gaunt man's eyes went
"I said I'm busy! Are you deaf?" roared Titus.The lackey quickly said, "Yes, sir." And he left the room."I'm surrounded by idiots!" cursed Titus as he stood up. "Cole, tell the organizers I'm not joining the banquet!"Cole Green, a bespectacled lackey, said, "Yes, Mr. Soundra."Titus then approached a hidden door where a secret chamber was hidden behind. A scrawny sorcerer was within the chamber, standing with an old sorcerer with a head full of white hair. They were fiddling with an altar.The sorcerers were hired by Titus, of course, and he paid handsomely for them. They were Gungsten cursemasters, Jovani and Jason.When Titus came in, Jason said, "Hello, Mr. Soundra."Titus ignored Jason, looking at Jovani. "Mr. Kirby, can you really kill the bastard who murdered my son? I'll pay you anything."Jovani sighed. "I think you should give up, Mr. Soundra.""What do you mean, Mr. Kirby?" Titus was confused."I've heard the news. The killers who came for your bounty were all ki
"So, you're saying we should let this slide? Let the killer of my son be at large?" Titus was still refusing to admit defeat.Jovani sighed. "Mr. Soundra, if your son did cross a Legend Realm, I advise you to hide.""What? You want me to hide?" Titus was bewildered."Yes. If he is a Legend Realm, numbers do not matter to him. No army can protect you. If he wants you dead, there's nowhere you can run to," said Jovani.Titus started to shiver. He stared at Jovani hopefully. "What about you, Mr. Kirby? Can you protect me?"Jovani grinned. "If he's just a Half Legend Realm, I should be able to manage."Titus heaved a long sigh of relief and knelt on one knee. "Please, you must protect me, Mr. Kirby. If you succeed, you'll get the bounty in its entirety."Jovani's eyes shone. Everything he said to Titus was true, but he just wanted to scare him a little. Faeast was a big country, and there weren't a lot of Legend Realms roaming about. He had confidence that he wouldn't run into troub
The energy erupted with a force that broke through the clouds. Zeller swiftly realized something was wrong. The staff inside the formation was trembling. Cassian was about to break through his trap. Nox's eyes lit up. "Oh? Grandpa broke through to the fifth-ring Minor Saint realm."As soon as he said that, the energy set the air ablaze, causing the demonic phantoms to melt away. When Cassian appeared in view, he was covered in blood while tightly holding on to the staff. With all his might, he pulled the staff out of the ground. The instant the staff left the dirt, the formation dispersed. Cassian collapsed onto the ground, having depleted his life essence. "Shoot!" Zeller instantly tried to get the staff back. However, Nox acted at the same time at a speed far greater than Zeller's. He first rushed over to Cassian and took the staff from him. Then, he struck out with a palm that sent Zeller's life essence dispersing from the immediate area. Zeller was sent flying away
"Watch as I break through your technique!"With a low roar, Cassian used his essence to draw out a talisman. The moment the talisman was complete, the stench of blood flooded the air.Blood energy was unable to dispel the demonic phantoms, but it was able to reveal Zeller from where he was hiding within the phantoms."Found you!"Cassian sent another punch swinging. The tables were turned.A series of loud bangs echoed from within the cloud of demonic phantoms. The Golden Fire Saint power surged. With one last dull thud, Zeller was sent flying out of the formation."Mousse, you're mistaken. I told you so. Cassian would win!" Nineve said with a scoff. It was so great to witness Aphrodite humiliated.Aphrodite shook her head with a soft laugh. "Princess, do you really think what you see is the truth?"Nineve was stunned. "What do you mean? Speak clearly!""You saw Zeller sent flying out of the formation, but that doesn't put his life in danger at all. If you were Cassian, you wo
"Ashura's Seal, Demonic Phantom Fury!"Zeller waved his staff. When he struck it against the ground, countless demonic phantoms appeared, surrounding him and Cassian and blocking them from view. Amid the demonic cloud of phantoms, golden fire could be seen flickering within. Cassian was trapped by the phantoms, and the Greenshade family's ancient martial style did no damage. He could not disperse the demonic phantoms. Under Zeller's control, demonic energy seeped into Cassian's body, slowly scrambling his mind. "This is bad. It looks like the trap has turned into a personal demon for Grandpa." Nox frowned. "Act if you must. Faeast needs a strong fighter of the previous generation like Cassian right now," Aphrodite said. Nox nodded. Still, now was not the best opportunity for interference. If Cassian could not get rid of his personal demon, his cultivation would suffer in the future. There were many cultivators at Saint Realm who practiced the soul techniques of the pat
Nox patiently watched the fight. His analysis was about the same as Aphrodite's. It would be difficult for Cassian to defeat Zeller.Still, Nox thought that Cassian would likely end the fight with a minor defeat as the power gap would never be too great.As Nox thought that, Cassian struck once more in a move aimed to kill. If Zeller were struck, he would be dead."You're quite strong, Cassian. Still, it's useless. I am certainly no match for you, but even if I can't defeat you, it doesn't mean it can't!"At the very last moment, Zeller pulled out an item that emanated enough energy within a few minutes to rival a cultivator at Saint Realm."That is a sacred artifact. Amazing. He does have great treasures," Nox remarked with narrowed eyes.Zeller was just an average cultivator. That was why he was still stuck at the cusp of Saint Realm. It was still a question if he could be a saint in the future. However, things were different with the aid of a sacred artifact.With the help of
"Haha! Do you think I'm powerless because you took away control of the ghosts?"Cassian Greenshade, your family has protected Faeast for millennia. You have stood in our way for the same amount of time! If not for your family, the Celestial Ordinance's Abode would already be ruling its own country!"Protecting Faeast? What hypocrites!"Nox is now the Human Sovereign, the future ruler of Faeast! He might even be crowned a Monarch! Your family is the new royal family!"How is that any different from what we want? You just want a country that belongs to your family."We are essentially the same. Stop criticizing us. It's like the pot calling the kettle black!" Zeller mockingly spat out. In their eyes, Nox could not be crowned the emperor of Faeast. Nox did not refute that claim as there was no way to talk sense into these people. With different motives and perspectives, nothing he said would get through to them. Cassian flew into a fit of rage. "You scoundrel! You refuse to fee
"Hahaha! I was wondering who this great cultivator was. You were someone I once defeated!"You can't win against me, so you ran all the way here to be a lord?" Cassian smirked. It was clear the two knew each other. He then turned to Nox. "This old priest is the founder of Celestial Ordinance's Abode in Faeast, Nox. I chased him off not long ago, and when I found out he was a powerful figure in Manesia, I journeyed there to defeat him once more. Unfortunately, he's a very slippery man. I've gone after him several times, yet I could never get rid of him. Later on, there was no more news, so I thought he died of old age. I didn't expect him to be hiding here." Meanwhile, Cassian used his Divine Sense to get a feel for the other's cultivation level. "Old git, you've grown stronger by quite a lot. Still, you're just on the cusp of Saint Realm. You aren't even at half Saint, yet you dare to confront us?"With Cassian's four-ring Minor Saint strength, it would only take seconds for Cas
They waited and waited, but there was no movement. "Nox, it looks like Master Zeller doesn't plan to come out. Since he's so rude, I'll force him out!"Cassian began to set Saint power ablaze. With the energy precisely aimed at the hidden talisman hiding in the fortress, he burned the talisman. The ghosts imprisoned within the fortress came pouring out. Millions of ghosts appeared. It was an exceedingly rare sight. The number of ghosts was enough to instantly overwhelm a cultivator at Pinnacle Realm. If it were just Aphrodite, Queenie, and Nineve, they would not have been able to control that many souls. Cassian wanted to help out, but he was too powerful. He would kill the ghosts, and that was not the effect he wanted. "Leave it to me, Grandpa."Nox stepped forward. In an instant, the aura of a Human Sovereign surged from him, welcoming a righteous and natural energy. The agitated ghosts swiftly calmed down. "Everyone, I am Lord Nox of Faeast. Today, I will ensure ju
In some ways, Cassian's fame far surpassed Nox's. Nox was tasked with stabilizing the nation. While even distant countries beyond Faeast’s borders had heard of him, their knowledge was limited to a few of his victories. Cassian, on the other hand, gained his fame through bloodshed. He roamed the world, leaving chaos in his wake across numerous nations. Even now, the mere mention of his name struck fear into many. For example, Cassian was the one to depose Spiajan's king, along with the entire royal family. Once the king was killed, Spiajan no longer had a monarchy. When the middle-aged man learned that the old git who had split his body into half was none other than Cassian, the man who had slaughtered through his country, he fell silent, gripped by fear. "Speak! Keep boasting. Why are you all silent now? What happened to the threats?" Cassian loftily stared at the group of elites. In his eyes, they were just trash. "Whether you're Cassian Greenshade or Lord Nox, you can't ju
The elites were all panic-stricken, and they immediately ordered their bodyguards to come forward to protect them.Accepting their fates, hundreds of bodyguards rushed forward, took out their submachine guns, aimed them at Nox and his group, and pulled the triggers.Gunshots were being fired wildly. However, Cassian blocked all the bullets off with his bronze-red fiery momentum.Presently, Cassian's hair had turned bronze-red, and the muscles all over his body were pumped.Upon witnessing this sight before their very eyes, the elites all thought that Cassian resembled a real Super Saiyan who emerged straight out of an animated series."Die!"As Cassian pressed his palm down, an unparalleled force descended from the sky. Instantly, hundreds of bodyguards were all crushed into a pulp. As a matter of fact, the momentum flattened their bodies even more than it did if a car ran over them.The elites gasped in shock. In their mind, they couldn't help but wonder if Cassian was actually
