LOGINIt happened in just a split second.Before Barlin understood what was happening, a huge lightning bolt descended from the skies, tearing into the ground in front of him.It wasn't just the rumbling—the flash blinded him for moments, and he also felt a terrible, painful jolt in his palm.Then, he felt the current coursing through every muscle in his body, leaving him spasming and sending him flying, while the sword dropped out of his hand.He crashed painfully into the ice, his clothes sheared while his hair and beard burnt to a crisp.He really would have been reduced to dust if his cultivation was not strong enough!The single lightning bolt really charred him—his long hair that looked so divine earlier, was now black soot, while his brows and beard suffered the same tragic fate.Not needing a mirror to know how horrible he looked, he pushed himself to his feet, his beady eyes fixed on Charlie as he growled, "Brat!!!"Charlie simply smiled at him and waved his hand again, yell
Barlin was gleeful even as he watched Charlie scowl, stroking his beard as he laughed. "Doesn't it hurt you so? Doesn't it frustrate you? Oh, I understand that all too well since it's been one real annoyance after another since I came on this piece of ice… Until I arrived here days ago! And now, I have to say I'm the happiest I've ever been!"His eyes narrowing melodiously right then, he bellowed, "So now that you realize you've brought all of this upon yourself, you can begin your journey to the hell drowning in regret and despair!"Sword in hand, he charged at Charlie, moving at breakneck speed!Charlie had just traveled from the northern end of the planet to the very south, and didn't have time to forge mystic treasures.The Soul Blade was long lost, and while he had other stuff that could do the same thing, he was sure it wouldn't work against Barlin. In fact, he only had the Thunder Order right now…Wait, Thunder Order!Charlie became thrilled right then—he had been using Th
Barlin felt he missed out big time when he couldn't make it through the Gate of Transcendence, but seeing Charlie now, he was thanking fate for sending him alms—like a farmer who found a gold nugget while plowing.After all, Fleur had issued a very generous bounty on the mysterious enemy that had been killing Qing Eliminating Society's bigwigs and destroying their bases. While Barlin himself wasn't going to be appointed as a military governor, Fleur definitely couldn't complain as she handed over scores of mystic treasures and pills!Charlie was ready and wary for a fight to the death, but he knew how to read people, and dissed Barlin despite having no chance to win, "Come on, geezer! You've been hiding like a rat from the Americans this long, don't even think you can impress me!""So it's you!!!" Barlin hollered, his eyes narrowing sharply. "And here I thought the Japanese messed up, but it's you who screwed me over?!""Haha! That's for sure!" Charlie laughed out loud and scof
However, no matter how Charlie ran, he was not avoiding Barlin's side.He had yet to land when Barlin rushed out of the icy cave, and he had to aim his landing to the west and kept running once his feet touched ground.Neither of them could fly, and didn't have flying swords they could sword surf on—or know the technique, for that matter.All they could do was keep running across the icy plains at superhuman speed.Charlie was quick, but Barlin kept closing in on him, his smile cold and gradually confident as he leered at Charlie like prey.He didn't even have to chase down Charlie either—he could start attacking once he was within range, around a hundred feet.Charlie himself never fought actual cultivators, but he knew that the worst thing one could do against a stronger opponent was to turn one's back on them.Fight head-on, and he just might have a chance.Keep his back to his enemies, and it would be a lethal stab to the back.However, Charlie couldn't be blamed for cowar
Barlin's Reiki sense was a class above Charlie's.On one hand, while his cultivation was definitely higher, it was also awkward that he didn't have much chance to replenish his Reiki—unlike Charlie, who had ample amounts of pills to recover.Hence, like a starving beggar, he was sharper when it came to the smell of food, his body hair standing and tingling when Charlie's Reiki reached him.He didn't hide his Reiki presence since he was in a cave this deep, and the surface was no man's land. Charlie flinched in surprise when his Reiki found Barlin, and he immediately realized that it was a cultivator and one much stronger than himself.He now knew for a fact that there were two cultivators in Antarctica, the first being himself and the other being the Qing Eliminating Society elder he had screwed over.So it goes without saying who the cultivator at the underground cave was.Though thrilled for a moment, he was ready to run but still stopped to glare at the arrow up in the skies
Charlie had tried to change headings—maybe redirect the arrow and see how it reacted, but it kept pointing in the same direction, no matter how he moved, just like a compass.He got a little excited, sensing that the entity was determined to guide him there.As he began to approach the icy pit Barlin dug, the arrow started to shift to a sloping angle, forming an angle with the horizon that tilts upward.Delighted, Charlie kept running as he realized he was reaching his destination, while feeling fortunate that he didn't have to go to the actual heart of the South Pole.Meanwhile, Barlin wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.His Reiki would wane in intensity if he tried to project it through over thousands of feet of ice. He could sense what was in the pit and not the surface, so he didn't bother trying.That was why he was slacking more than Charlie expected, not bothered to waste Reiki on his surroundings since he was most likely the only cultivator on the continent. Th
Landon, who was aside, also hurriedly said, “Mr. Zachary, please take me with you as well! I have no other advantages aside from being obedient! I will definitely obey your orders and do whatever you ask me to as long as you’re willing to take me with you!”Other people also expressed their sincerity
Charlie asked again, “What are the approximate strengths of these people?”Porter said, “Among them, the two most powerful ones are Zayne and Hunter, the two War Kings of Ten Thousand Armies. They had the honor of drinking the celebration wine that you gave out in Mexico last time, so they have enter
When Vera’s figure disappeared on a mountaintop, Charlie’s awareness instantly returned from the deep mountains of southern Yorkshire Hill to reality.The moment he opened his eyes, he fully believed Vera’s words. He believed that this girl had lived from three hundred years ago until now. At this mo
Brody’s last conscious thoughts were filled with anger and unwillingness.He never thought he would end up dead without a body. Compared to the taxi driver he had killed out of anger just now, the taxi driver only had a missing head, but Brody might not even be able to save his brain!Before his spinn
