Aloysius' mouth twitched after hearing Steve’s words, amazed by his shamelessness. “I don’t think you’re good enough.” Aloysius did not know Philip very well before this, so he thought it was beneath him to follow Philip. After getting to know Philip in depth during this time, however, he realized he should count his lucky stars that he got to follow Philip. If Philip were just an ordinary person, Aloysius only had to fulfill his promise. However, Philip was stronger than he thought. Aloysius had been thinking about how he could stay with Philip forever. His opportunities would be endless if he stayed with Philip. The pill that Philip had taken out casually was enough to shock him, and his every move was simply out of this world. Aloysius was not that powerful even in his heyday. Therefore, Aloysius decided to follow Philip no matter what it took. Of course, Philip did not know what Aloysius was thinking. He was looking at Ted’s body. Philip sensed an obscure aura in him.
“The first elder has been controlled by the demonic path, so his earlier words were simply meant to trick all of you into a trap. The first elder has been killed by another respectable practitioner. You can check his soul lamp if you don’t believe me! “I need to report this incident to the guild leader so that he can decide the next steps. You should stay here instead of taking risks.” Steve left after saying that. This matter was of great importance. He had to report it even if it meant disrupting the guild leader’s seclusion. The members looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what happened. It sounded ridiculous. “What’s going on? Have we been deceived? Everything the first elder said was to deceive us?” “I can’t believe that the first elder had joined the demonic path. Was he going to turn us into feed for the demons?” All the members were scared and grateful to Steve for saving them. Some guild members could not accept it. They found Ted’s soul lamp and confi
“I had a narrow escape and made it back alive because I was on guard the whole time. The holy maiden is still alive too,” Steve said hesitantly. He noticed that Carol’s soul lamp was still on when he checked earlier. He had no idea what was going on, but he had to report his findings. “Take me to that place now. I want to see what’s happening.” The guild leader, Donald Hen, was quite strong. He was sure he could figure out the situation if he led the team. They quickly arrived at the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, but Donald hesitated at the entrance. “Don’t go in. Just stand here and talk to that guy. You’ll be entering his attack range once you enter that place,” Steve reminded him cautiously without daring to take a step forward. Donald nodded upon hearing that. He had always been wary of demonic practitioners. He had informed several guilds that had a good relationship with him about the situation here. He would have been at a loss for what to do without their help. Mea
“How did you do it? Even my master couldn’t change me, but you did it so easily.” Samael knew that no ordinary person could do this. More importantly, all his techniques had been stripped away from him by force. He had no way of practicing his demonic techniques again. In other words, he could no longer improve his strength even if he killed others and absorbed their energy now. He scowled and wanted to kill Philip, but it was all wishful thinking. Philip was very strong and imprisoned him in this place just to see him suffer. “You went too far. Do you really think I can't do anything to you? I’ll teach you a good lesson once I improve my strength!” Samael was furious and could not wait to kill Philip. “Forget it. The restraints have the power to drain your strength. The longer you stay here, the weaker you’ll become. You should give up on your hopes of killing me.” Philip sneered and destroyed all of Samael’s hopes. Samael grimaced. Aloysius frowned, shocked by Samael’s dr
Philip was so strong that Donald was probably no match for him. He stared at Philip, sizing him up. He had decided to please Philip. He was very strong, after all. It would be best if Philip could become one of his own. There would be a big competition among the major guilds very soon. According to the guild’s current situation, there was no way they could take the lead. It would be best if Philip could help them. With this thought in mind, Donald was filled with expectation and looked at Philip fawningly. Unfortunately, Philip paid no attention to that loser. Donald approached Philip flatteringly. “Are you willing to join our guild? We're currently short of some powerful elders. You can take the position just by name if you want.” He looked at Philip humbly with a plan in mind. He would pay any price as long as Philip agreed to his request. Philip glanced at him, startled by this sudden turn of events. There had to be something unusual for this guy to lower himself to be
Donald was excited to hear that. This took no effort at all. It was great that Philip agreed so easily. “Will you represent my guild in the upcoming battle? That’s great. I’ll make arrangements for you at once. I won’t let you down.” Donald was so excited that he trembled all over. Philip waved his hand. He never planned to fight on behalf of this guild. “Stop your wishful thinking. I’ll represent my own guild in the battle. I’m not alone, you know,” Philip said with a smile. Philip had discovered many mysterious things in this world, so he decided to fight for them. He would bring everyone from his villa and let them experience this. “Oh, you have a guild. What’s the name of your guild?” Donald asked nervously. His plan would be ruined in that case. There was no way he could take part in the competition after this mess. All his powerful elders and elite members had died in this incident, which was simply ridiculous! “It’s called the Razer Guild. The guild’s motto is to d
Philip soon arrived at Warble Mountain, but he was stopped by someone. It seemed they had occupied that place. “The Tempo Guild has taken this area as our territory. No outsiders are allowed to enter.” The other party stopped Philip from going forth. Seeing these members’ arrogance, Philip turned around and left without a word. He simply wanted to explore this place, not cause trouble. He noticed that the foot of the mountain was surrounded by people, but they did not belong to the same guild. These major guilds clearly wanted to seize this area for their own. “They cordoned off the whole area to prevent smaller guilds and individual visitors from entering. This is really interesting.” Philip was amused to see members of the major guilds surrounding the land. He overheard their discussions too. “Are we just going to sit and wait? No one knows who this land belongs to.” Philip was puzzled to hear that comment and wondered what was going on. “Yeah, I’m amazed that we have
Everyone was excited to hear the news from Philip. “That’s great. We’ll take part in all the challenges. We have to show everyone what we can do. It’s time to make a name for ourselves,” Aslan said with a bright smile. He had long wanted to show off his skills. After all, a monster beast like him always liked to show off his abilities. It was excruciating for him for not being able to do so. Philip made arrangements to set off in three days. Three days later, Philip brought everyone to the location where the competition was held. Practitioners from various guilds arrived one after another, and all the inns in that area were fully occupied. Philip sighed. He did not expect that the competition would be held in such a remote area. “We might've failed to find a place to stay if we’d been a tad later. This place is dreadful.” Aslan looked around with disdain. The scenery was nice, but other things were lacking. The inn was quite rundown, including the rooms they had been as
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
