"Use violence on you?" Zane shook his head and said, "I won't, but they might! Get these idiots out of here!""Yes!" The Northmans' bodyguards were all retired soldiers who were experts in combat. Besides, they were in the majority, which boosted their confidence.Before Jayden could raise his booklet once again, punches and slaps rained down on him.In the storm of punches and slaps, there were a few kicks thrown in for good measure, which made Jayden scream when they landed.Jayden's bodyguards were beaten up even more harshly. Three of them had several of their ribs broken. Out of the remaining two, one had his leg broken while the other was knocked unconscious. "Damn it! Zane, Theodore, listen to me! When I come back with my fellow apprentices, I'll kill your whole family!" Jayden said viciously as he wiped away the blood gushing out of his nose and spat out two broken teeth. "Mr. Stallone! Give me a hand! My leg is broken!" Shane had been beaten up until he was battered an
"Mr. Stallone!" A bodyguard hurried over to stop Jayden.However, he was too late. Sebastian had already stood up slowly and was walking toward Jayden."Look carefully! I'm an apprentice of the Caelbane Sect leader now!" Jayden knew that Sebastian had some martial arts skills, so he hastily flashed his booklet at him.Sebastian slapped Jayden without any hesitation."Damn you—"He slapped Jayden again."I'm—"Sebastian cut him off with another slap."I—"There was another resounding slap, followed by another.With every word that Jayden said, Sebastian gave him a generous slap. He slapped him so many times that Jayden saw stars, and his ears were ringing. Sebastian slapped Jayden yet again, and this time, blood trickled out of the corner of Jayden's mouth."Who gave you the guts to come over here and boast? The Caelbane Sect only accepted fools in the past. Do they also accept cripples now?" Sebastian gave Jayden a hard look.He was only trying to teach him a lesson with
However, Zane's slaps did not have the same effect."He's about to die! However, your 20 slaps actually ended up saving his life, my lord. It is very strange." Lyanna was equally confused.Usually, the appearance of dark energy meant that a person's soul was about to leave the body. It was a sign of impending great misfortune. However, Sebastian's slaps had actually knocked the danger out of Jayden.When Sebastian looked at Jayden once more, he saw the dark energy slowly gathering again. "Jayden seems to have offended someone…" Sebastian said thoughtfully."No. He has offended an expert in the mystic sects, or perhaps the Stallones have done so," Lyanna said impassively."Offended someone from a mystic sect?" Sebastian's brow furrowed. Although Jayden could be rather reckless and did behave like a spoiled heir, would he dare to do anything to someone from a mystic sect?"If I'm not mistaken, someone has probably switched his fortune by force," Lyanna said earnestly.Realiz
"Why don't you let me keep it for you? If so, you'll be able to avoid the danger," the old man said, grinning.He still looked kindly and genial.However, Sebastian felt more and more repulsed by the old man as he looked at him. "Oh, I could never do that. If it's going to bring danger upon me, it might cause your death." Sebastian's smile disappeared gradually."Young man, you should always listen to those older than you." There was a cold glint in the old man's eyes. "Do you want to educate me on a few things?" Sebastian's expression suddenly darkened. The old man scoffed and said, "Young man, I will come and kill you tonight." He threw his head back in laughter and left the convenience store.Sebastian watched him leave, then looked at Jayden, who was already far off in the distance. "Is Jayden a victim of his mystic arts?" Sebastian asked Lyanna as he pointed at the old man. "My lord, there was something very odd about that man. I couldn't detect the energy of a livin
Lyanna stuck several paper charms in different directions while summoning the six revenants. Now, all they had to do was wait for the fortune-telling old man's arrival. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lyanna saw a paper man standing at the door. "My lord, it's here," she said calmly.She had been facing off against dead people since she became an adult, so the paper man did not scare her at all. Sebastian and Rose both got up, and both their swords gleamed sharply. The paper man knocked on the door for a while before entering the convenience store through the crack in the door.As the paper man entered, seven lights flickered on at once. It was the formation that Lyanna had set up earlier. A sheet of golden light blocked the paper man's path, and it began burning as soon as it stepped into the sheet of light.The paper man scoffed. Its voice was that of the old man."Soul control?" Lyanna frowned slightly.It wasn't mystic arts. Soul control didn't even belong to t
Only those in medicine or in the art of pill refining were particularly interested in medicine cauldrons. They were useless to shamans and sorcerers. Even if the old man got the medicine cauldron, it wouldn't be of much use. "I'm just helping a friend to get back what was originally his." The old man looked impassively at Sebastian.He felt that Sebastian was already at the end of his tether since he had already broken through Lyanna's formation and trapped the demon slave. Would they come to blows next?The old man couldn't help smiling inwardly. He hadn't even played his trump card yet. Did Sebastian really want to challenge him in martial arts? The old man wouldn't be stupid enough to battle in martial arts against two experts in sword fighting. Only an idiot would do that."Oh? Are you really that confident?" Sebastian smiled.He could see that the old man was holding back on something, and it would be a very tough card. However, Sebastian had his own tricks to play.
Although they were at a very low level and hadn't even managed to get rid of their animal-like appearance, they were very powerful. Even if Lyanna's six demon slaves joined forces, they would still be no match for the snake deity. The formation she had laid out earlier did have the power to subdue all evil things, but it had been broken by the paper men and was no longer of any use. "Well, young man? Hand it over. I don't want to cause too much trouble," the old man said smugly as he stroked his beard. "Old man, you're taking things by force," Sebastian said calmly."Hmph! I'm showing you kindness by taking your things. Otherwise, I could just as easily get what I want by killing you," the old man said, fixing an icy gaze on him. There was a slight hint of murder in his eyes. "Why do you keep talking about murder at your age? It seems inappropriate. Besides, don't you think it goes against the law of nature to kill and take the possessions of others? If we subdue this litt
Lyanna couldn't help feeling rather embarrased. Sebastian was extraordinarily powerful. He could adapt easily to any situation."Did you say that you've never killed anyone?" Sebastian's gaze turned icy instantly as he stared at the middle-aged woman.A bolt of vital energy immediately enveloped the woman. Very soon, the pretty woman's fingers turned bright red and even began to drip blood.When everyone saw what was happening, they all stepped backward in slight surprise. It did look rather terrifying.Blood dripped off the woman's fingers, and the vital energy enveloping her slowly became a white fog. Countless illusions soon appeared in the thick fog. There was only one person who starred in all the illusions. It was the pretty, middle-aged woman.Countless people had died at her hands. There were the elderly, the young, as well as both men and women. Some had been flayed and skinned, while others had had their bones cracked open and their marrow sucked out."Did you say t
The influential figures behind them were all stirred up by Jayden. Gabe felt as if his heart was about to break. He wasn't taking pity on Sebastian at all! He was genuinely very afraid."Mr. Crawley, if you don't attack soon, I will." Sebastian slowly pulled out his sword."Wait!" Gabe pointed at the sword in Sebastian's hand and said, "When… When you attacked Anthony just now, you weren't aiming to kill him."Although Sebastian had crossed swords with Anthony, he hadn't used his sword for the final move at all. He had just struck Anthony's lower abdomen with the palm of his hand."I still have use for him, but you are of no use at all. People who like bragging despite having no talents are the kind of people I dislike the most. Today, only one of us will stay alive." Sebastian grinned as he walked toward Gabe."Ballard! Don't cross the line!" Gabe's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke through gritted teeth.At this point, he didn't even have the courage to try and escape.No matt
Out of the corner of his eye, Gabe saw several police cars rushing in his direction. He felt as if a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. At the speed that the police cars were going, they would reach them in less than a minute. Gabe smiled triumphantly at the thought, and his nervousness immediately disappeared."Sebastian, I have always been kind. Since I know it must not have been easy for you to learn those skills, I don't want to hurt you. However, if you keep provoking us, I won't just let it go!" Gabe took a step forward just for the look of it, although he was still carefully keeping a distance from Sebastian. Even though the police would get there in less than a minute, Sebastian had only used two seconds to disable Anthony. Gabe had to use the time and the distance he had very well! He had to make sure that he came off looking good while also staying out of harm's way. "Oh? Are you kind? Mr. Crawley, you surprise me," Sebastian said, smiling. He had also
Sebastian had shown mercy to Anthony because he could still be useful, but he wouldn't show any mercy to Gabe. If Sebastian didn't show people that provoking him would end in death, they would be sure to keep trying to lord it over him. "Alright! Let me teach you a lesson today!" Gabe said. However, he was rooted to the spot. He dared not take a single step forward.He estimated that there were about 60 feet or so between himself and Sebastian. Sebastian had moved over 40 feet instantly just now with the use of his divine powers, and he had crippled Anthony with just one move. Therefore, Gabe was probably at a relatively safe distance from Sebastian. "Mr. Crawley, take him down a peg!" Jayden shouted."Yes, Mr. Crawley!" another chimed in. "You're the leader of the sect. Why are you afraid of him?"A third added, "Mr. Crawley, we support you! Kill him!" Although Anthony had been beaten so hard that he was lying on the ground, so what? There was another sect leader here,
The Divine Art was legendary!Even Anthony's mentor would have had to fall to his knees and beg for mercy if he had been here. Experts who had reached that level had an understanding of martial arts that people like Anthony couldn't even begin to imagine.Time and space were what made up the world, and to have divine powers was to stand at the center of time and space and be able to instantly change one's direction.Anthony couldn't do it, and neither could Gabe.Gabe was more shocked than Anthony.How old was Sebastian? He was only in his 20s!A red light arced gracefully through the air, and Anthony fell heavily onto the ground several feet away.As soon as he hit the ground, he spat out another mouthful of blood.Anthony could no longer even stand, let alone hold his blade. His lower abdomen was caved in, and blood was dripping out of his lower body continuously.Sebastian had removed all his martial arts training, and he was now just an ordinary person. In fact, he was even
Anthony spat out yet another mouthful of blood, but a cold smile appeared on his face. He didn't even need to look to know that Sebastian must already be decapitated. It would be unimaginable for Sebastian to escape such an intense blow."Mr. Ballard…" Zane looked nervously at the cloud of smoke. It was where Sebastian had been a moment ago.However, both Nina and Rose couldn't help laughing. Sebastian wouldn't be killed so easily by Anthony. Nina and Sebastian were connected with a life-and-death connection. If Sebastian died, so would Nina. If Sebastian had really not been a match for Anthony, she would have stepped forward to do something.Although Anthony and Gabe looked formidable, Nina could crush them both easily with just a simple slap, and even she was no match for Sebastian. Even if there were ten Anthonys working together, they still would not be able to kill Sebastian!Anthony smiled slightly. So what if Sebastian was a rare talent? He was too young, and he didn't k
Maximus looked at Anthony in shock. What Anthony had just done was an admission of his defeat!Although the victor was not clear yet, Anthony's hand had been torn open from just a single blow. Didn't that mean that he wasn't as powerful as Sebastian?Maximus hurried over to Tripp and said, "Mr. Gibson, let's go! Anthony's is no match for Sebastian!""What?" Tripp was dazed.Even Anthony was no match for Sebastian? Maximus must be joking!"Mr. Gibson, Anthony's palm was torn open. If you don't believe me, look at the hand that he's using to hold the blade!" Maximus said in a low voice.Only then did Tripp notice that blood was dripping off the blade that Anthony was holding. The blood was from Anthony's palm!What was going on? He was the sect leader of the Caelbane Sect! How could he be defeated by Sebastian?Gabe frowned as well. He knew how powerful Anthony was. Even if Anthony was no match for Gabe, he was definitely not weak. Gabe was ten years older than Anthony, but eve
Even Rose wouldn't last more than 20 moves against Anthony. It was no wonder the apprentices of the ancient martial arts sects were so dismissive of the secular martial arts community.The Caelbane Sect was only a small sect among the mystic martial arts sects, and Anthony was a nobody among them. Despite this, the skills he was showing were amazing!Maximus knew that he could never reach Anthony and Sebastian's level, not even if he spent his entire life trying. The two of them would always be far ahead of him.No wonder Sebastian had been so cocky in Sunway that day.Anthony put all his strength into his blade as he tried to attack Sebastian once more. Yet, Sebastian dodged it effortlessly. The blade shone with a silver-white glow as it thudded heavily into the ground. There was a loud rumble, and a long crack that was about 40 feet long appeared on the pavement.Anthony slowly landed on the ground and looked up at Sebastian, who was drifting down gracefully. "There are ve
Even Gabe took a step backward in the face of such power.The blade was already exuding so much power before it even struck. Once Anthony swung it, the force would surely affect Gabe as well.Anthony had decided to kill Sebastian with his strongest strike. He wanted everyone to see what happened to those who offended the Caelbane Sect.How dare Sebastian kill and maim Anthony's apprentices? Sebastian had practically signed his own death warrant."Die, Sebastian!" Anthony roared. He raised the blade over his head and brought it down with full force, aiming for Sebastian's head.The air seemed to freeze as an intense energy swept through the area. The men closest to the fight even felt a sting on their faces from the force of the intense energy. As Anthony brought the blade down, the bricks beneath his feet actually cracked. The crowd cried out in shock once more as they watched.Was that how powerful Anthony was?Was this what it meant to be a true ancient martial arts practi
Sebastian's gaze swept across the crowd. He smiled and said, "Later, you must all kneel here at the door for a day and a night. No one will be allowed to leave!"Anthony burst into laughter out of sheer anger.How dare Sebastian act so brazenly at a time like this? Even Anthony had not been so cocky at his age. Besides, Sebastian was clearly disrespecting him with that statement. He wanted everyone here to kneel later? Wasn't he implying that Anthony was no match for him?How ridiculous! How dare a man in his 20s look down on a sect leader like Anthony?Ignorance truly made people fearless. And to make such a statement in front of so many people. How could he be so shameless?"Young man, I admit that I am far less skilled than you are when it comes to bluffing," Anthony said, sneering."How do you know that I'm bluffing?" Sebastian smiled lightly. "Hmph! You are young and ignorant. You can't imagine the difference between us and how big the gap is. You will never know!" Ant
