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
Countless luxury cars rushed to Steinberg from all directions as influential figures from various fields all gathered at the same time.Even Larys and Harold were surprised by the commotion.Steinberg immediately sent out hundreds of traffic policemen to maintain order. Despite this, Steinberg's traffic came to a standstill. Anthony's name had spread all throughout the state, and every family who wanted to prosper had come to curry favor with him.The local families in Steinberg also wanted to use the opportunity to replace the Four Great Families.However, the Four Great Families were no longer in Steinberg. The Coltranes had been uprooted completely by Sebastian, while the Winters were just a shell of their former selves.However, the remaining eight were still irreplaceable in Sartvale. In terms of connections and capabilities, Steinberg's influential families couldn't hope to replace the Carrows and the Petersons. Even if someone wanted to rise through the ranks, the remai
"What did you do to them?" Saul asked fearfully at the sight of Caleb and Reuben's bloodshot eyes. The veins on their heads and necks were bulging. "I've heard that the man with the most willpower in the world can endure this for seven minutes. That's the limit for a human. I wonder whether these Juwanian beasts can break that record," Sebastian answered, clasping his hands behind his back and looked down at Caleb and Reuben.Caleb's body curled into a ball but stretched out all of a sudden as he continued to convulse on the ground.Reuben jolted from time to time, and in less than two minutes, he began bleeding from his ears and nostrils."You're crazy! You've gone mad! Pull out the silver needles on their bodies at once!" Saul was beside himself with anger. He shot forward to pull out the needles for Caleb and Reuben.However, although he moved fast, he was sent off even more quickly. Before he could even touch Caleb, Sebastian sent him flying with a kick.Saul rolled over the
The most extreme pain in the world was the pain of bones breaking. Reuben had been lucky enough to experience that pain more than ten times within a very short period of time.If Sebastian hadn't pierced him with that needle, Reuben would have gone mad with the pain.However, no matter how much he struggled and yelled, Sebastian just acted as if he couldn't hear him. He continued to step all over Reuben's body impassively.Every time his foot landed on a spot, it was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking and shattering.The entire yard was silent except for the howling of the wind and the sound of Reuben's screams, as well as the shattering of his bones.As everyone watched him silently, even the Yvantonian Warriors who had tried to stop Belinda and the others previously couldn't help shuddering. They felt as if they were being tortured the way Reuben was. A female reporter squeezed out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, please! Please have mercy on him. He… H
The hundreds of Yvantonian Warriors standing in the center of the yard couldn't help but gasp. Just how strong did Sebastian have to be to pull off Caleb's arm with his bare hands?Sebastian looked so thin and frail. He didn't look strong at all."You! Stop it right now!" Saul shouted, rushing forward to stop Sebastian.Before he reached Caleb, Sebastian turned sharply. There was a cold, murderous look in his eyes, and it frightened Saul so much that he skidded to a halt."Do you have anything to say?" Sebastian asked frostily. Saul swallowed and mustered up his courage. He yelled angrily, "You can't treat Caleb like that! He's the bishop's—"Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him. There was a loud smack, and Saul was lifted off his feet with the force of it. He spun in the air before falling onto the ground."You're so noisy!" Sebastian dusted off his hands and turned to walk toward Reuben.Reuben had wet his pants in fear when he saw Sebastian pulling off Caleb's arm.
Sebastian didn't even need to use the Indigo Thunder God tactic to deal with Caleb and Reuben. With their powers and level of skill, they were no match for him at all, not even if there had been ten of them.Caleb ran toward him and suddenly picked up speed. The curved sword in his hand gleamed coldly as it aimed for Sebastian's left rib cage. At the same time, Reuben wielded his sword and thrust it at Sebastian's right rib cage. The two of them attacked from both left and right simultaneously, but Sebastian just stepped forward at a measured pace. It looked like a leisurely move, but one step brought him over 20 feet away. Caleb and Reuben's curved swords had been about to slice into Sebastian when he suddenly disappeared from their sight. The two of them stopped quickly.However, they were still a step too late. They had been using so much force that their curved swords clashed against each other, throwing up sparks. It was clear that they had used all their strength to try
Reuben and Caleb burst into gleeful laughter. If not for Belinda's answer, they wouldn't have been so bold. Belinda sneered as she looked at the shameless men. She decided inwardly that they would only live for another three days!However, just as Caleb and Reuben thought they were safe, Sebastian strode forward and said calmly, "You don't have to regret it. I can fight against the two of you on my own. Not only can you wear brass knuckles, but you can even use daggers or swords. I'm alright with anything."The smile on Saul's face froze."Madam, didn't you agree that the martial arts battle has ended for today?" Saul demanded, pointing at Sebastian.Belinda smiled slightly and said, "Like you said, he's not part of the Warrior League. What right do I have to stop him?"Saul was rendered speechless.Sebastian wasn't part of the Warrior League, and he had said so himself. Belinda didn't have any right to stop Sebastian.Caleb clenched his teeth and exchanged looks with Reuben.
Saul grinned triumphantly. He hadn't expected Blake to throw down the dagger at all. He had only stepped forward to stop the battle so that he could stall for time.Blake's wound was bone-deep. Since he had pulled out the dagger, the wound was bleeding continuously. Losing too much blood could be fatal to a Warrior.He was unwittingly helping Caleb gain an advantage."Ha! Die, Dramonian!" Caleb exclaimed. He strode forward and struck a punch. A gleam of silver shot toward Blake's chest.Although Blake didn't know what the shining object was, he could feel a sense of extreme danger. He dodged quickly to avoid Caleb's punch.However, he did not dodge quickly enough, and it grazed his abdomen. He felt a piercing pain at once, and Blake realized that Caleb was wearing brass knuckles.However, the brass knuckles were different from ordinary ones. There was a steel needle that was about an inch long on the middle finger.Blake said angrily, "Caleb, you are shameless! How can you wear
It was just the second attack, yet Blake had managed to injure Caleb so severely.Caleb clutched his left rib and bent over. It wasn't an act, because Blake knew how much force he had used in that move. He had broken at least two ribs with that punch.Ordinary people couldn't endure the pain of broken bones, especially if the ribs had been broken with blunt force. It would be extremely painful.Blake smiled slightly and asked, "You think you can injure Mr. Parham and get away with it? Hmph!"With a wide grin, he cracked his knuckles loudly. As Caleb watched Blake slowly walk over to him, he begged for mercy, his face twisted in pain. "Don't kill me! I didn't do it on purpose! Please spare me!"Caleb backed away as he spoke, but Blake was unmoved. His mission was to kill Caleb.As Blake moved closer, Caleb couldn't back away any further. When he was backed into a corner, Caleb's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Blake, walking toward him with deliberate steps.Everyone was
Caleb and Reuben were delighted at what Belinda had said. However, Saul shot them meaningful looks. Did they really think the Warrior League was easy to deal with, even without Sebastian?The Warrior League was filled with experts. If the two of them fought against them rashly, they would be sure to die."Wait!" Saul stepped forward to block Gary and the others."What now?" Belinda asked coldly."There are so many of you. If all of you fight against them while saying that it's a one-on-one battle, no one could withstand that! We need to set a limit, at least," Saul said seriously."We'll only fight three battles," Belinda said calmly.That meant that the Warrior League would only send three people, while Caleb and Reuben couldn't have anyone helping them.In other words, it was three against two. Still, they had to accept those conditions. It was the best they would get.Otherwise, Belinda only had to give the command and it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle, it would be a bloo
"Forget it. Since you didn't die, we won't pursue the matter further with you. We've already enjoyed that young woman anyway, so we won't punish you for your crime," Reuben said, grinning scornfully.They could tell that Belinda and the others had turned up in such a large group to get revenge on them.However, they had special identities. Would Belinda be bold enough to offend two hugely influential forces in Yvanton for the sake of an old man?Was the Warrior League really powerful enough to offend Yvanton? Besides, the Juwanian bishop in Yvanton was also renowned in the martial arts community."If the two of them have done anything disrespectful to the Warrior League, I apologize on their behalf. Yvanton is willing to compensate you for what happened today. You can name your price," Saul said seriously.Even he believed that Belinda and the others wouldn't dare push for revenge now. After all, who would dare to kill Jorvahn's grandson?Belinda scoffed. "So what if he's the Juw
