"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 old man had gone pale with anger. He clenched his teeth as he said, "I'll remember this!"He turned to leave, but he had no chance of doing so. The old man's soul control had relied completely on Nina's help. He had no training of his own at that level.Nina's betrayal had rendered the paper men heaps of useless paper. Lyanna's demon slaves immediately surrounded the old man."Old man, what kind of place do you think my convenience store is? Do you think you can cause trouble because you want to and then leave as if nothing happened?" Sebastian grinned at the old man as he spoke. "You… What else do you want?" The old man was frustrated. If he had known that Sebastian had such a formidable trump card, nothing could have convinced him to get involved."I don't want anything. Didn't you say that you came here to help a friend get something? Who ordered you to come?" Sebastian asked coldly, his smile dropping off his face."Well…" The old man's eyes flickered, and he hesitat
"Where is the sect leader of the Pinnacle Sect right now?" Sebastian asked. "Um… I-I am too scared to say anything. The Pinnacle Sect is too big and consists of 16 mountains. How would we know where he is?" the old man asked mournfully. It would be very hard to find even a single person in the Pinnacle Sect. It would be hard to find even one among a hundred men."Let him go," Sebastian said, waving a hand at Nina.Rose looked at Sebastian in confusion. Why was he letting the enemy go?"Mr. Ballard, we can't let him go," she said rather anxiously.Sebastian knew what Rose's intention was, but he waved his hand and said, "Without Nina's help, he can't even defeat an ordinary Warrior. It's alright."The old man looked awkwardly at Sebastian and turned red. He clenched his teeth and slunk off.Although Sebastian had spared his life, the old man felt extremely humiliated. Sebastian had felt that it was beneath him to kill the old man. He was completely disrespecting him.After th
"My lord, you don't understand the concept enough. That's why your barrier is only that big. Actually, what you saw was already the extent of the barrier that I can make. If you practice, you're sure to improve rapidly." Nina smiled.Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief. It appeared that he was already doing very well.Nina had lived for over 100 years, but he wasn't even 30 yet. Given this age gap, his achievements were already impressive."The Way of Wisdom?" Sebastian repeated."Yes. If there were no celestial books of the Way of Wisdom in this world, unusual beings like us could never train to form the shape of a human. The Way of Wisdom is everywhere, including in how birds eat worms or how trees sprout from a seed. So is the melting of ice and snow," Nina said casually."You're very capable. Why would you be willing to submit to me?" Sebastian asked, puzzled.Nina wouldn't be afraid of Sebastian just because he was training in the Way of Wisdom.What she had just said showe
Maximus stared jealously at Tripp, who was kneeling on a very flat spot. There were even bricks under his knees. It was very comfortable.Maximus was kneeling on a patch of sand and stones. In just a few minutes, his knees had begun bleeding. If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen a better place to kneel. "Get lost!" Sebastian yelled at the hundreds of influential figures at his door.They all jolted in fear and immediately ran back to their cars. They instructed their drivers to leave as fast as they could.Hundreds of luxurious cars sped off, as if they were running for their lives. "Sebastian, it'll be hard for you not to be famous after today," Vince said, sighing softly as he looked at the people kneeling at the entrance.Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "Would they dare to say anything about what happened today?"Vince paused for a moment and shook his head.Sebastian was right. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to spread the news.
"Gabe, how dare you kill Warrior League members?" Blake looked up and stared coldly at him. "Hmph! Blake, don't try to accuse me falsely. If you hadn't backed me into a corner, why would I have opposed you?" Gabe gritted his teeth as he stared fixedly at Blake. "No matter what you say, you killed Warrior League apprentices! I hope you don't regret it, Mr. Crawley!" Blake smiled slightly. Gabe had killed two Warrior League apprentices with two slaps. Even if he ran away from Steinberg, he wouldn't be able to escape the wrath of the Warrior League. At this point, Gabe had no choice but to take a gamble. He pointed at Sebastian and Blake and said, "Stop wasting time with talking. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. Ballard, come over here!" Sebastian sneered and said, "Gabe, you really like doing things the hard way, don't you?" Sebastian suddenly moved. Gabe felt his eyes blur, and Sebastian rushed toward him like a phantom. That was when Gabe realized that he seemed 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
