LOGINBarlin found himself unable to comprehend Charlie, but his confusion soon faded as he could feel his triumph at hand.Knowing that Charlie was inferior in cultivation but still beat the four earls, it was clear that his mind was sharp enough to cover for his lack of actual strength. If anything, he could have a ton of cultivation resources like pills and mystic treasures, so Barlin was ready to loot his corpse dry once Infinite Swords destroyed him.He had been burning through his own essence to increase his combat ability, which degraded his cultivation especially after consuming so much Reiki for days now. He urgently needed Charlie's pills to replenish it!On the other hand, Charlie wasn't even fighting back.Barlin's technique was augmented by burning his essence in exchange for Reiki, and Charlie's clothes were shredded even before the swords reached him, his skin flaring up as if it had already been sliced through.Realizing that he couldn't stop it, he didn't try as it'd ju
Even then, the drawback was clear—if the real flying sword hit, it was going to tear through him like he was completely defenseless.It was dangerous, but he was really out of ideas.Barlin himself knew that Charlie's death was assured by his combos, and hence still felt delighted, even though he had burnt through much of his essence. Rearing his head and laughing thunderously, he bellowed just as his flying swords would shred Charlie, "Well, you had your chance! Rest in pieces, brat!"Charlie wasn't afraid because he knew he wouldn't die—having Vera's ring meant the worst for him was merely experiencing the pain of death."You wish!" He snapped back coldly, bracing himself.Planting his rump on the ice, he gathered Reiki all around his body to brace against the countless flying swords, and they reached him in the blink of an eye!It felt like being shot countless times while wearing a bulletproof vest—his guard was tough, but was also quickly being shredded by the countless fl
Barlin thought his strike would maim Charlie even if it didn't kill, and was surprised to see the brat dodge more quickly than expected.It naturally didn't inflict significant damage aside from a flesh wound, which was nothing in cultivator terms.As long as he had sufficient Reiki and healed in time, it wasn't an issue.Even so, it fueled Barlin's confidence, and he laughed viciously, "Lucky you, brat! I'm in the worst state I've ever been for years, or I would have taken your head right then and there!"Charlie shrugged. "Any advantage is an advantage. And considering how you're burning your essence to fight, you'll eventually burn your cultivation to my level if I outlast you!""You were just lucky!" Barlin hollered. "But not this time—or did you think that's all I could do?!"With those words, he directed the flying sword at Charlie, launching it at breakneck speed again.Charlie's only option was interference, and hence kept using Thunder Order while running and dodging.
Charlie never cultivated such techniques, and was naturally caught off guard when Barlin's Reiki suddenly swelled, while the flying sword accelerated with greater power than before!In his panic, he kept launching lightning bolts at Barlin while leaping backward at top speed, concentrating his Reiki at the same time to deflect Barlin's flying sword.Having learned his lesson, Barlin didn't hold his sword and instead directed it with Reiki, keeping it at least five feet away from himself to avoid getting jolted.His reflexes also quickened after he burnt his essence, and it was not that difficult to dodge Charlie's lightning bolts now.As one bolt descended, he dodged away, while his flying sword remained connected to his mind as he pressed his attack on Charlie, as if the bolt didn't slow him down.Charlie was out of options and mystic items that could attack. Neither the Apocalyptic Book nor the Vairocana hand seals were effective for a fight, if not outright unimpressive.Tha
Charlie already knew when he fought Barlin that he couldn't hide his cultivation. Ruby had taught him the technique to hide cultivation, but that was only if he didn't use Reiki in the first place, and managed to hide himself. But now, Barlin found him, so such deceit was pointless.However, that also meant Barlin could see his Reiki's state while he kept popping pills, so why not show off and taunt him further?Charlie's words left Barlin fuming, but it also made Barlin take his fight more seriously.His cultivation was far above Charlie's, making Charlie's strength and Reiki reserves seem insignificant and completely exposed before him.Sure, it was like playing poker, but with Charlie playing transparent cards that exposed his hand, while Barlin had normal cards and knew his every move… But Charlie's taunting made him think.After all, seeing the opponent's cards didn't necessarily mean winning—you need the high hand, and a game plan to maximize the payout.He was already
Barlin was on the verge of losing his mind, even as he could feel his hand trembling as he held on to his sword.He could smell singed hair and charred skin from the rest of himself, even as he used what Reiki he had left to heal.Never had he felt this pathetic since he started out as a cultivator!Glaring at Charlie murderously, he no longer tried to retort and instead focused copious amounts of Reiki into his flying sword and launched it straight at Charlie, with the might that could tear apart everything in its wake.Charlie was planning to press his advantage with Thunder Order, scraping skin even if it couldn't kill Barlin.But seeing the flying sword moving so quickly with such deadly purpose, he knew he had to get out of the way.However, even as he tried to move, he felt extremely sluggish as if he came under a spell, and it consumed stamina just trying to shift his weight.He realized then that the Reiki fueling the flying sword also projected a pressure to impede its
“What?”Max has already lived for more than twenty years. This was the most shocking sentence that he had ever heard Charlie said in his whole entire life.With bloodshot eyes, Max stared at Charlie before he muttered, “Impossible. How could that be possible? I know who you are. I’ve known you since y
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly interjected, “Max, I can understand your kind intention, but we don’t have to go to such a high-end place just to celebrate my recovery. It’s too expensive!”She continued, “Besides, it’s just a meal. I can cook for you guys, let’s just eat in the orphanage. This way, you can sav

“Alright, I’ll take a shower.”***Meanwhile, as Charlie and Claire lay on the bed preparing to sleep, a heavy-lift helicopter flew by the Sudbury sky, soaring loudly. After spending two hours on the helicopter, Donald and Sean Webb finally arrived above the exclusive mansion in Sudbury. All the Web
