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
“There are 18 powerful beings on this continent, all kingly figures in their own right. They guard over 18 respective areas and can be regarded as the overlord in each place! “However, Azrael is different. Although he’s almost as strong as those 18 people, he doesn’t belong in their ranks because he’s a demonic practitioner! “He has a territory of his own, but he wreaked havoc in that place and made such a mess that countless people were dispatched to get rid of him! “He probably holed himself up in such a remote cliff because of their pursuit, lying in wait for his resurrection.” Rabbit explained in detail what happened back then. In short, Azrael was severely injured but the hunt for him was still ongoing, so he chose this method for resurrection. Philip finally knew Azrael’s background but did not think he was worthy of admiration. Philip had always despised demonic practitioners and did not share their views at all. “In that case, I’m actually doing a good deed by captu
Rabbit smiled at Philip. It had regained quite a bit of memories this time. Although still lacking, it was good enough. Philip nodded with satisfaction. This little rabbit had done something good this time. Philip emptied the coffin and walked to the depths of the underground river with Rabbit in tow. Although the underground river was like stagnant water, there was a path leading into the distance. Philip walked into the depths of the dark river and soon saw a glimmer of light. Azrael had been tortured beyond recognition by this point. He was sprawled in the cage, full of resentment. He hated himself for messing with an enemy like Philip. He wondered why someone so powerful would appear here to disturb his practice. If Philip was not so strong, he could take over his body by force, which was a good thing for Azrael. However, Azrael had no way to deal with such a powerful guy. Now that he was captured instead, it was a tragic end for him. ‘Oh no, if he walks to the end of t
Holy light would corrode Azrael at the slightest touch. Azrael found that his skin was burning and festering by now. Although he was a spiritual entity now, he felt the pain. He would be dead if he was fully exposed to the holy light. “Mmph!” Azrael groaned. He had no idea that Verge Tower was doing this with malicious intent. Philip was unfazed. He did not intend to pay attention to that lunatic. “We need to watch out. I have a bad feeling about this,” Rabbit reminded Philip uneasily. It felt that everything was too good to be true, so it did not dare to proceed. The place in front looked very grand, and no one knew what lay inside. “Something doesn’t seem right. Maybe I’m too sensitive, but I think that this thing…” Rabbit frowned at the holy light in front. Something felt wrong about everything. Philip was puzzled by Rabbit’s caution, wondering what it was thinking. “Just speak your mind. There’s no need to mutter under your breath. Are you hiding something from me
Philip did not doubt Rabbit’s words. Its strength was limited, so Philip never thought that Rabbit would deceive him. “Just because you failed doesn’t mean I can’t do anything,” Philip said with a bright smile. He was fully prepared and knew what to do. Rabbit had no choice but to follow Philip to this extremely dangerous place. Although devastated, it decided to give in. Philip quickly reached the holy place and had to squint his eyes. The light was too distracting, and he could not see clearly. As soon as Philip arrived, he saw the words ‘Heavenly Path’. He did not expect to find Heavenly Path’s Carrefour so easily. “It took me no effort to get here at all. This is surreal!” Philip sighed with emotion. He did not expect such an amazing thing to happen to him. With a bright smile on his face, he walked into Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip was very excited to see this mysterious place. He knew that this place was very special. “Is this the so-called Heavenly Path’s Carr
Rabbit was quite traumatized by that constant wailing. When Philip walked closer, he realized that the thing making that noise was not a weird creature but a living person. That weird person seemed to be restrained by something, screaming miserably without moving at all. Since the person was the only living creature around, Philip walked over for a closer look. The other party was bound to this place and rendered motionless although they were quite powerful and capable. “What are you?” Philip asked curiously. He did not know if the other person could speak, but he had to find a way to communicate with the other party. “You can think of me whatever you want,” the other party replied quickly, proving that they could speak human language. Philip was puzzled. He reached out and touched the iron chains that restrained the other person and found that it was quite strong. “I’ll submit to you if you can release me from these iron chains. I'll kill whoever you want me to kill af
Philip was shocked to hear Rabbit’s words. So, the person in front of him was the so-called heavenly path’s guardian. After much deliberation, Philip decided to release him. He had to find out more about the guardian no matter what. “I can release you, but you have to tell me everything. Don’t try to lie to me.” Philip looked at the other person sternly and told him to make an oath. The guardian nodded and made his vow solemnly. “I swear upon my soul that I’ll never lie to you. If I do, you can do whatever you want to me. If you save me, I’ll give you everything I have.” Philip was surprised by his reaction. He was a good person, indeed. Not many people would dare to swear upon their souls. The result would be very bad if they broke their promise. Philip took out his weapon and broke the chains easily. The heavenly path’s guardian was shocked that Philip was strong enough to break the chains easily. As the heavenly path’s guardian, he knew how strong the chains were. “W
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
