"Stop!" Just as a fight was about to break out between them, a cold voice came from behind the crowd.At the sound of the voice, the crowd parted. A tall, handsome youth dressed in white walked proudly out from among them. As the white-clad youth walked out slowly, Sebastian immediately sensed a strong oppressive energy coming from him. It was the energy unique to that of an expert in the Celestial realm."Is that Cedric Watts?" Many of the mystic martial arts sect members recognized the youth in white at once. He was one of the most outstanding geniuses among the apprentices of the Healer Sect to have appeared in the last 100 years.Cedric wasn't just excellent in medicine, but he was also particularly skilled in martial arts. In approximately ten years, he had already broken through to the first level of the Celestial realm. Of course, the Celestial realm was like a beginner level to Sebastian. However, there were countless people among the mystic martial arts sects who rema
Cedric was still smiling confidently.Just as the energy from Sebastian's palms was about to completely envelope the force from Cedric's fists, a terrifying force seemed to explode forth like a bomb.The force of it was magnifying rapidly at a frenzied pace, and even Sebastian let out a noise of surprise.However, he only grunted slightly and curled his fingers in a claw-like gesture. An even more pure vital energy immediately burst forth from his fingertips.As the vital energy in Sebastian's body began to surround the force, the energy from Cedric's fists was soon suppressed.Sebastian made a slight tossing gesture and sent the force of it flying off into the air. There was a series of loud blasts as the force exploded in midair. Even the air above their heads vibrated slightly.The crowd, who had been waiting to see Sebastian be humiliated, were now staring at him in shock. Sebastian had dealt with Cedric's attack so effortlessly. Who was he?Avery had scrambled up from the
When Sebastian saw that Cedric was attacking with no regard for his own life, he merely snorted and flicked his palm once more. This time, the onlookers retreated more than a hundred steps away. They were terrified of getting caught up in it once more.However, many of the younger generation among the mystic martial arts sects were still staring fixedly at the two men who were locked in battle. After all, every move made by experts at Sebastian and Cedric's level was a great source of knowledge for all of them!Therefore, the younger Warriors were unwilling to miss the opportunity to learn, even if their lives were at risk.There was another series of blasts. In just a few short seconds, Sebastian and Cedric had already exchanged more than a hundred blows. There was an enormous explosion, and a wave of energy shot at Cedric and sent him stumbling backward more than ten steps away. "H-How could this be?" Cedric's expression changed sharply, and he stared at Sebastian in disbeli
Cedric nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything else. However, there was a provocative, mocking look in his eyes as he looked at Sebastian.Octavius turned and looked coldly at Sebastian. He asked in an icy tone, "Young man, are you going to surrender, or will you make me attack?"As the head elder of the Healer Sect, attacking a young man like Sebastian in public was already rather inappropriate. However, even martial arts practitioners wouldn't dare to protest against Octavius' decision. Several of them were already feeling sorry for Sebastian."Oh, what a pity. He's already at the level of the Celestial realm at such a young age. Why couldn't he just learn to endure?""Now that he's offended the Healer Sect, even his sect and mentor may not be able to save him."Some of the older martial arts practitioners shook their heads and sighed. They felt that Sebastian was now doomed to die, or at least be stripped of his training. When Sebastian didn't answer, Octavius' eyes
Bertie demanded, "How dare you treat the esteemed guest of the Warrior League so rudely? Are you disrespecting us? Do you really think that we wouldn't dare to cross you?""Don't forget that among the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects, there's also Medcity! If you think that you can force me to submit by threatening me with Breakthrough pills, then think again!" Bertie looked coldly at the Healer Sect members as he retorted. Before the Healer Sect members could speak, Drake stepped forward and said aggressively, "You are on the Warrior League's territory, and you laid hands on our guest. Do you want to start a war between our sects?" The Healer Sect members weren't the only ones shocked by what Drake had said. Even the onlookers could hardly believe their ears!Octavius was the head elder of the Healer Sect! Were the Warrior League really not afraid of getting blacklisted by the Healer Sect? If they were blacklisted, the Warrior League would have no hope of
"This is really just a misunderstanding, gentlemen!" Octavius exclaimed. He squeezed out a sliver of a smile and approached Bertie. He said, "Bertie, the Healer Sect and the Warrior League have always been on good terms. Why would we deliberately target your respected guest? "This young man just did not make his identity clear just now, which was why there were some unnecessary conflicts with the apprentices. Please be lenient, Bertie.""Lenient? If the two of them hadn't arrived, you would already have attacked me," Sebastian said, grinning mockingly. "That's right! The Healer Sect members were causing difficulties for Mr. Ballard on purpose!" As he spoke, Bertie waved at the Warrior League apprentices behind him. Before long, the stall owner was brought out in front of everyone. "Tell everyone loudly about what you know!" As soon as Bertie spoke, the stall owner hastily recounted what had happened. When he had finished, Bertie looked coldly at Avery, who was trembling viol
Bertie and Drake said nothing. They turned to look at Sebastian instead. If Sebastian was dissatisfied, even Octavius wouldn't be able to leave the place alive, especially since he had tried to resolve the matter by killing an unimportant apprentice. The atmosphere was suddenly tense. Everyone was holding their breath as they waited for Sebastian's final answer."Forget it. You can leave." Sebastian waved a hand at Octavius and the others. The Wraith Market was the Warrior League's territory. If he detained Octavius and the others here, the Healer Sect would be sure to battle the Warrior League to the death!Sebastian didn't want two large sects to shed blood for such a minor incident. Drake and Bertie frowned and asked, "Mr. Ballard, are you really going to let them go?" "Yes, Mr. Ballard. What if they try to get revenge in the future? Won't you be releasing an enemy out into the wild?" It was clear that neither Bertie nor Drake had expected Sebastian to let them live. T
Drake and Bertie knew exactly what Cedric was planning.Although the energy replenishing pills that Sebastian had given them were far better than the Breakthrough pills from the Healer Sect, whether or not the pills had been refined by Sebastian himself was something they had yet to confirm. Even if he had refined them, who could guarantee that Sebastian would be assured of victory against Cedric when it came to pill refining?After all, the Healer Sect had put a great deal of effort into training Cedric, and he was known as a young Refinist prodigy. If Sebastian made even the slightest mistake, he would end up in big trouble! "Okay, I'll take the bet. I just hope you won't go back on your word when the time comes," Sebastian said, smiling slightly. "Alright!" Cedric grinned maliciously and nodded as he said, "Tomorrow, 10:00 am at Greendrake Town. It's ten miles away from here. I hope you won't be late." Cedric threw back his head in laughter as he walked out of the crowd.
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
