After taking so much flesh and blood, the coffin was already full of evil and no longer a pure existence. Philip knew that this thing had something to do with him. “What’s inside? Why does it need so much flesh and blood, and what is it used for? Does the coffin use the same technique as me?” Philip was tempted to pry open the coffin. He had no time to waste with the cow and simply killed it with one blow. The cow’s meat seemed pretty good, so he stuffed it into the space without wasting it. He then took out a dart and threw it at the coffin. The dart hit the coffin, but it stood motionless and undamaged. Philip knew how much strength he used. He then took out a whip and swung it at the coffin. He thought that maybe the dart was not strong enough to break the coffin. Hence, he decided to use a more forceful method to break open the coffin. If that failed again, he had to use something like an ax. “The giant salamanders were devoured of their flesh and blood upon contact wit
“These creatures are called Rainbow Butterflies. They're a rare treasure that you can hardly find on this continent, but I caught seven here! After eating them, I can recover part of my memory and strength. I’ll no longer be a useless rabbit that can only rely on others!” Rabbit was so excited that it wanted to jump and show Philip its strength right now. “It was rumored that these butterflies carry the bloodline of phoenixes. Maybe I can be reborn from the ashes because of them! These butterflies are amazing. Philip, I think you should take a few bites!” Seeing Rabbit gloating after eating all the butterflies, Philip really wanted to kick it. “Since you’re so kind, why didn't you leave me a few?” Philip rolled his eyes, but he was quite proud of Rabbit. It would be great if the other party could regain its strength. However, Philip did not value its strength. Philip could easily build up its strength with pills. What he wanted was Rabbit’s memory. If Rabbit could recov
“Besides, I’ll be of great help to you once I restore my strength and memory. You can't leave me in the lurch!” Rabbit was not a fool. With seven butterflies on hand, the other party could not be underestimated. It was doomed after messing with the other party. “Hehe, it's your fault for acting so arrogantly. Clean up your own mess.” While teasing Rabbit, however, Philip realized something very important. This person had to be very powerful to have set up such a formation millions of years ago. Although Rabbit said it felt very guilty for eating such precious things, that did not stop it from doing it. Philip felt his heart ache as Rabbit took one bite after another. After Rabbit swallowed all the butterflies, a series of changes occurred. The tightly closed coffin blasted open. Rabbit was sent flying before it could react. Philip rushed over and caught the rabbit before it fell into the river.Philip felt a strong suction force trying to suck him away. At that moment, h
Although Philip did not know the other party’s identity, he could tell the other party was not a good person from his strange black energy. “Are you two little guys so scared that you can't say anything? I’ve been practicing for tens of thousands of years, and there’s nothing good about this place,” the guy muttered at Philip’s silence. His black shadow hovered back and forth over the coffin as if looking for something. That thunderous voice pierced Philip's eardrums and made him very uncomfortable. “You’re quite strong to have found this place, and this damn little thing ate all my butterflies.” While he spoke, Philip looked at the coffin and saw three-meter-long crystal bones. The bone felt very weird and looked scary. “You’re quite talented to have reached the pinnacle at such a young age. You're much stronger than I was back then. Maybe I should take you as my apprentice! I don’t remember my full name anymore, but everyone called me Azrael.” Despite his explanation, P
“Someone like you dares to devour my soul? You must be dreaming!” Philip roared angrily. This guy was very cocky. He thought he could compare with Philip with that little bit of strength. What a joke. Putting aside the fact that his strength had declined after being sealed for so many years, Azrael might not be a match for Philip even if he had retained his peak condition. As a person who had weathered a fair bit of storms, Philip knew how to control his soul power. He joined forces with Verge Tower and gradually surrounded the black energy. Azrael did not even realize what was going on but continued to taunt Philip. “I'm not someone to be trifled with, but don't worry, I’ll make a strong comeback with your body, and I’m grateful for that. “However, your little rabbit won’t be so lucky. It’ll become my first meal of the day. I haven’t eaten a bite in many years, so it’ll be nice to have a delicious meal of rabbit meat,” Azrael said happily as if Philip was doomed for sure.
Philip sneered and mocked Azrael, “How ridiculous. You were the one who sneaked up on me in the first place. Now that you couldn’t beat me, you want to fight me openly instead? Do you think everyone is an idiot like you?” Azrael was furious at Philip’s taunts, but it did not matter. He was trapped in Philip’s mind and could not leave at all. Philip praised Verge Tower for its might. Maybe Philip would have felt the pressure if Azrael had launched a physical attack on him. After all, his thousands of years of practice were not for show. He would be far better than Philip no matter what. However, Azrael chose to attack his soul instead. A powerful existence like Verge Tower would never allow an invader to enter Philip’s soul at will. “There's something wrong with you. You must have a treasure on you or it would've been impossible for you to trap me!” Azrael seemed to realize something and yelled about his discovery. “I worked hard to practice my soul technique to make my soul
Seeing that, Azrael hoped that Philip was not strong enough to break his bones. After all, those were not ordinary bones. Normal practitioners could never destroy bones of such good quality. He wanted to know what method Philip would use to break his bones, which was impossible in his opinion. “Verge Tower, do you think it’s a good idea to use these bones to make a puppet of my own?” Philip said to Verge Tower in his mind. He thought the bones looked pretty good. “You have such bad tastes to take a fancy to these bones. Just get rid of them quickly. I’ll remind you if we come across any good things later. “If you want a puppet, you should look for things such as dragon bones. The evil energy on these bones is too strong. I’m afraid you can't take it.” Verge Tower’s quick response did not satisfy Philip. Verge Tower actually thought he could not handle this evil energy! However, Philip chose to listen to Verge Tower and destroy the bones. Under Azrael's expectant eyes, P
Philip had agreed to let Verge Tower slowly absorb Azrael’s soul. It would enhance Verge Tower's strength and also get rid of a cruel guy. Azrael's initial plan was to use this method to torture Philip to death so that he deserved this treatment as well. “Mmph!” Azrael sobbed and choked, trying to stop Philip. He had never shed tears after so many years, but he felt the fear of death this time. The feeling of his soul being devoured was very uncomfortable. Azrael trembled in the corner pitifully. However, Philip did not feel sorry for him at all. Instead, he thought Verge Tower was not mean enough. “Keep it up. Make sure to wipe this guy out thoroughly!” After saying that, Philip went to Rabbit’s side. He took out a pill and fed it to Rabbit to wake it up. Fortunately, Rabbit was not seriously injured but was simply knocked unconscious. “How dare that guy treat me like this? Does he think I’m a pushover?” Rabbit cursed after waking up. Philip shook his head at its react
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
