“Philip, you really think too highly of those people. What makes you think they're good people? They came up with those excuses just to make things difficult for you. Do you really think they want to deal with members of the demonic path?” Aloysius nodded in agreement. The demonic path was not so easy to deal with. Although everyone wanted to kill practitioners of the demonic path, they were very powerful and vindictive. Anyone who dared to mess with them would die for certain. “So, the so-called respectable guilds are more disgusting than the demonic guilds. Their actions are simply unspeakable. I think it's better to join the demonic guilds!” As the heavenly path’s guardian, Aloysius’ words carried some weight. He knew what the demonic guilds had done, but the respectable guilds were no better. Philip did not expect to hear such words from Aloysius, which proved how disgusting these respectable guilds were. “However, these demonic practitioners wreaked havoc on Welkin Islan
“With an island under their control, they can raise people to improve their strength and avoid the so-called righteous people. That’s simply killing two birds with one stone,” Rabbit said helplessly. It knew quite a lot. “Those righteous people know about it but are unwilling to step in.” Everyone scowled at this situation. “Let’s find your friend quickly. I’m afraid he won’t be in a good situation,” Philip urged. Their priority was to find Aloysius’ comrade. It would be bad if he was dead. Aloysius nodded and quickly took out the necklace to track his whereabouts. He found that his friend was nearby. “If I'm not mistaken, Marcel should be around here!” Aloysius looked around excitedly, trying to find his friend but to no avail. Philip did not know what the other party looked like, so Aloysius had to search on his own. Suddenly, the people on the street showed a look of fear. They knelt on the ground in a panic as if they had seen something very scary. Seeing this sce
Philip thought Aloysius might have gone crazy after being imprisoned for so long to let out such a terrified scream on this occasion. The demonic people noticed the commotion and saw two people who did not kneel to them. “Who are you guys? Why aren't you kneeling before me? Do you want to die?” The demonic practitioners glared at Philip and Aloysius angrily, surprised to see such bold normal humans. At this time, Philip noticed an ordinary-looking man next to the speaker with a look of surprise on his face. That man was not looking at Philip but at Aloysius next to him. They clearly knew each other or the man would never show such an expression. Philip quietly waited for Aloysius to speak because he did not know what was going on. The young man next to the speaker said something to the latter, who turned around and walked away. The young man walked to their location in surprise. “Aloysius, why are you here? Did someone save you?” Hearing that familiar greeting, Philip
Aloysius urged Marcel. He could not wait to leave this dreadful place. “No, I can't leave this place,” Marcel frowned and rejected Aloysius’ request. Philip was surprised. Since this place was so scary, why did he want to stay here? “I have things to do. I’ll leave after I finish them. No one can stop me. On the other hand, you shouldn’t be here. It’s dangerous. You may fall into the hands of those demonic practitioners at any time. Everything will be over if they set their sights on you.” While Marcel spoke, Philip observed the surroundings. At this time, the waiter brought the tea they ordered. The waiter lost his balance when he walked through the door and fell to the floor, spilling the tea in his hand. Everyone was shocked by this scene. Philip and Aloysius sat a distance away, so they were unaffected by the spilled tea. Marcel was different. He sat close to the door, so some of the tea had spilled on him. He frowned at the hot tea. As a normal human, he was mindful
“If you don't want to leave, you should find a place to hide. I’ll look for you once I’m done. These people attacked me when I was at my lowest. I'm enduring the humiliation so that I can seek revenge on them one day. You don't have to worry about the specifics.” Aloysius felt helpless under Marcel’s persuasion and could only nod. The two agreed on a meeting place. “We’ll leave the island now, but you have to promise that you’ll go to that meeting place once you’re done with your tasks!” In the end, Aloysius chose to give in. After chatting for a while, the two went their separate ways. Philip felt a little exasperated at Aloysius’ trust in Marcel. “What do you think of my comrade, Philip? I can’t believe he asked me to leave to prevent us from getting into trouble!” Aloysius was very touched. In fact, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he was determined to protect Marcel. “Your excitement blinded your eyes just now. Didn't you sense anything wrong?” Philip asked curi
“A heavenly path’s guardian is powerful by nature. Maybe he made this decision to restore his strength back then, but this act is unforgivable!” A true gentleman should do things the proper way. While it was true that a practitioner desired strength, using this method to quickly improve his strength was the wrong thing to do. “Let’s investigate further. I want to know what he’s up to.” Philip and the others quickly found an inn to check-in. Although they were normal humans, the locals were welcoming to outsiders. Many people expressed their concern when they checked into the inn. “As normal humans, why are you choosing to stay here?” “This is no place for normal people. You should leave quickly or it’ll be too late!” All the kind people tentatively advised Philip and Aloysius. Philip smiled and said, “It’s okay. We’re here to look for someone. We’ll leave soon.” Philip’s explanation did not comfort them. They sighed helplessly as if they were worried about such stubbo
“Master, what should we do next? Those two normal humans must be up to something. I’ll kill them if you find them a nuisance!” the other party said coldly with murderous intent in his eyes. As a demonic practitioner, killing two more people made no difference to him. Marcel shook his head. He had a better idea. “Have they left?” Marcel asked. If they had not left, they were asking for it, and they could not blame him for being ruthless. The other party shook his head. “They're just normal humans. How could they escape?” Marcel pondered. “Since they refuse to listen, they can’t blame me for this. Catch them and turn them into puppets. Samael, the plan is very simple. You just need to catch them inconspicuously. They have good physical bodies that are perfect for making puppets.” Marcel's eyes flashed with greed. Aloysius was a heavenly path's guardian, after all—not someone to be underestimated even though he was a normal human now. However, Philip was an enigma. Although
Samael flipped through the record but did not see any information about Philip. “Don’t you have two young men staying here? They're quite good-looking, clearly visitors from other places,” Samael asked, feeling that something was wrong. The innkeeper was startled to hear someone looking for Philip. He could cover up for them if Philip and Aloysius kept a low profile. After all, no one would know the guests staying here. However, this man mentioned them specifically and described their appearances. The innkeeper grimaced. Samael could tell that the innkeeper had deceived him. He sneered, “I’m surprised that you have the guts to deceive me. Don't you know the consequence of messing with me?” Samael glared daggers at the innkeeper. “Since I can't find them, you can pay with your life.” Samael grabbed the innkeeper’s neck, suffocating him. The innkeeper struggled frantically and tried to break free, but he could not move at all. As a normal human, he was no match for Samael
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
