Anthony glared at Maximus. He wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face."Young man! So many of us are here today to demand justice from you. I think you should give up all your martial arts training today and repent for your wrongdoings. Perhaps Mr. Laing will take pity on you and spare your life," Tripp said arrogantly, his hands clasped behind his back.Sebastian didn't even spare Tripp a glance. He walked over to the bronze horse and began scrutinizing it. It was strange. Sebastian had never noticed anything unusual about the bronze horse before. Why had Lyanna specifically asked for it?As he scrutinized it further, he realized something. Although the bronze horse's body was shrouded in dark energy, there were actually four red clouds on its hooves.Red symbolized blood, but it also represented life. In contrast, black symbolized death and destruction.There was life and death energy on an object. The intertwining of life and death represented reincarnation."Th
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
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
