"Fire Dragon!" Huge flames appeared above Felix out of nowhere. After a spin, the flames headed toward Oliver, who was in midair.The flames collided with the Cross Slayer mid-way. They diminished quickly. As both moves collided, Felix didn't dare to pause at all because the attacks of Luca, Charles, and the others had reached the point where he didn't have the chance to catch his breath."Dancing Dragon!" The Dancing Dragon was deployed again. It cut off the sudden attack. The movement was so smooth that it couldn't be compared to the previous one. When there was an empty spot, Oliver entered through the only ball of flame and hit Felix on the chest. Felix spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled a few steps back."Help me put out the fire! He has already used all his strength. He is no longer a threat!"When Luca and the others were about to kill Felix when the latter was weak, they were summoned by Oliver.Felix stood in the same spot and didn't dare to move because his en
"Who's there?" The sudden scene halted Charles' movements."This sword…" Only Oliver was staring at the sword as his eyes widened. "It's the Duo Moon Sword. Could it be Sword Goddess?"Sword Goddess? Even Charles' expression changed. He took a sharp breath. Sword Goddess was considered a legend. There was a year when Sword Goddess traveled to various parts of Dragonia with her sword. Whenever she encountered injustice, she would take action, resolving it with just one move. To this day, no one had ever been worthy enough to see her second move."We should go!" When Oliver returned to his senses, he quickly reminded everyone to leave. He didn't dare to stay there any longer."Can we really escape?" Luca's legs couldn't move. He was frightened. A martial arts master in the early stage of Blood Realm was frightened to this extent. No one would have believed it if news spread."Calm down! If Sword Goddess wanted to kill us, we would have been dead long ago. She's letting us leave."
Because the gap between the members of the Jacobs family's strength and Felix's was huge, it was impossible for them to escape. They were all beaten up by him, without leaving behind a single corpse. Only by killing these members of the Jacobs family could there no longer be any continuation.When Felix entered the house, he lay on the bed. He didn't think that he was exposed by Vanessa or her family. With the Jacobs family's and Elders' Council's capability of finding information, learning about it was easy. Besides, everyone's gazes and expressions were normal during the wedding. He couldn't be bothered to look into it more.At this time, Felix received a call from Xena. "Xena.""Don't call me like that. I hope you always remember that! Giving you a call means nothing. You just need to listen. After I finish speaking, I'll block you again."Felix's mood wasn't affected much. After experiencing such a difficult battle, he felt neutral. He only needed to try his best to make up f
When Queenie accidentally touched the Hexbloom, Felix had to treat her immediately, leaving her in nothing but underwear due to the unusual circumstances. In that vulnerable state, he could not help but notice every detail of her body, including places he should not have seen. On Queenie's back, near her right shoulder, there was an intriguing tattoo that initially appeared to be a cobra's head but also resembled a skull upon closer inspection. The design was particularly striking with its red-inked edges, and Felix could not help but recall seeing it somewhere before."You've really seen it before?" Felix found himself in an unexpected situation and could only trust Billy's judgment."Yes, I have. What's the connection?" Billy pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's an ancient totem from Southern Xilona that somehow made its way into mainstream tattoo shops, and many customers choose it for themselves."Felix furrowed his brows. "Wouldn't that mean many people would experi
"Don't even mention it. Usually, this amount of alcohol wouldn't be an issue, but I barely slept last night," Jack groaned.Felix found it amusing since people typically slept better when drunk, which was unusual. "Having those kinds of dreams?" he teased, feeling relaxed around Jack, especially since Melissa was helping Vanessa in the kitchen.Jack shot Felix a look before turning serious. "It's strange. Last night felt like a dream but also seemed real. You probably won't believe this, but I kept hearing cries. "Sometimes, it sounded like children, other times like women, leaving me in this dreamlike state all night. Meanwhile, Nessa didn't stir once all night. When I asked her this morning, she said she hadn't heard anything."Felix's expression changed instantly, realizing Billy's warning was already coming true. Given Jack's close connection to him, the karmic tie was probably strongest, making him the first to experience the effects. While it was not surprising, its speed
Yvonne appeared equally surprised to see Felix standing at the gate."Have a safe trip, Ms. Cooper!" Queenie called from behind, her tone and expression revealing more than her words.Felix's instinctive greeting died in his throat as Yvonne maintained her distance, aware that their connection had ended. She had only exchanged pleasantries at the wedding due to the crowd, knowing where to draw the line.After a moment's hesitation, Felix broke the silence. "Yvonne, what brings you here?""Just some business matters to discuss with Queenie," Yvonne replied hastily, clearly caught off guard.Queenie looked between them with surprise. "You two know each other?""She was a former patient of mine," Felix explained with a smile."Oh! What a small world!" Through their brief conversation, Felix learned that Queenie had recently been transferred to be the regional CEO of Stellar Group. After Yvonne left, Felix handed Queenie the local specialties he had brought, having initiated the
"You bitch! How dare you splash me? Do you know who I am?" Edwin snarled.Just in time, Felix grabbed Edwin's wrist and pushed him back, causing him to stumble until his friends caught him. Though Felix had not planned on playing hero, he had never felt more compelled to act."Get lost!" he warned."You're both dead! Neither of you is walking out of here in one piece!" Edwin threatened as he pulled out a switchblade, and his friends quickly surrounded Felix."I'm calling the police!" Queenie warned, frightened as she pulled out her phone.Edwin sneered, "Call them, and I'll slice up that pretty face of yours."Felix calmly guided Queenie back to her seat before calling out to someone behind the thugs. "Handle this.""Mr. Zeller!" Multiple voices rang out in unison, startling Edwin and his men. They spun around to find over a dozen intimidating men standing behind them, far more threatening than any street thugs."M-Mr. Gray!" Edwin stammered, recognizing the leader. He could
Felix instantly recognized the voice—it was Delilah, also known as Dreamscape. After promising Billy, he contacted Seven from Flair to relay a message through Averill, though he had not expected such a quick response.Felix was grateful to Averill for allowing Seven to exist as a connection to his senior apprentices. Perhaps it was also Gerald's way of acknowledging that Felix would not abuse such relationships."Who's that? Felix, i-is someone else in your house?" Queenie asked fearfully, hiding behind him in a natural response to the unexpected voice.Delilah emerged wearing the mask she always wore in public. Felix quickly explained, "Don't be afraid. She's my senior apprentice."Queenie gathered her courage to look and gasped. "A-Aren't you Dreamscape?"Dreamscape was incredibly famous, and almost everyone knew about her. Moreover, her mask was so iconic that no one dared to copy it, knowing her fans would destroy any impostors. Felix shot Delilah an annoyed look before tu
Pulling open the car door, Felix regained his composure. He remembered all of Donna's assurances, and he trusted that they weren't empty promises. After all, their work partnership had gotten pretty tight lately—she wouldn't play such life-threatening jokes. "Do you need something?" Just as he thought, Specter stood there without moving. He spoke with resignation, "I've put in all this effort and planned everything down to the last detail. Yet, I couldn't even scratch you. I'm honestly shocked."Felix pursed his lips. "You haven't seen anything yet." With a growing smile, Specter replied, "You've won! I'll back off from Hollow Soul. I can't face it alone anyway, and those losers I recruited were useless against you. I'm out of options." Felix felt a wave of relief wash over him as he nodded. He'd finally dealt with a major threat. Zara would be safe with Gerald, but Felix worried that he couldn't handle Specter. If his attacks continued, someone he cared about might get hurt o
Trembling, Ashton raised his hand to reveal a small silver square token in his palm. Made of some unknown metal, it had the character "Blue" inscribed on it. "Take this token and disguise yourself as me. Go to the forest about half a mile from Mount Dalinton. Then, find a treehouse there—underneath is our meeting spot." Felix drew the token toward himself but didn't notice anything special about it as he continued listening."A middleman contacted me with an invitation to explore an ancient tomb. It belongs to one of Francis' descendants. He was certain there were soul cultivation treasures inside and promised those would be mine, though I can't touch anything else." When Felix heard that it could be a tomb of Francis' descendant, he was thrilled inside but kept his expression neutral. Instead, he asked, "Why should I believe you?" Ashton had anticipated this question, so he hurriedly replied, "It's absolutely true! Francis Thane was the top alchemist of the Bronze Age. How co
Felix found it hard to breathe. It was not from shock but because the air had been completely sucked out of this place. The peak Grandmaster Realm masters who had looked down on him earlier were now all sliced into pieces, scattered everywhere. Even the middle-aged man who had fled first ended up the same way a few hundred yards away.Only Ashton remained on the ground, coughing up blood nonstop. Over a thousand sword marks covered his body. If it was not for the blood seeping through, they wouldn't even be visible through his clothes. These weren't just ordinary people or average martial artists, but five incredibly powerful peak Grandmaster Realm masters. Yet Dahlia had defeated them all with a single move. It was absolutely terrifying.As the air rushed back in, Dahlia spoke, "I kept him alive. You probably have questions for him." Felix smiled bitterly, finally understanding the gap between himself and Dahlia. He could only imagine how much stronger Eleanor had to be. "Tha
Felix said, "We've all worked our way up, so stop saying such nonsense. Where are my two friends now? "You're all martial artists who have reached the peak of Grandmaster Realm—you're practically legends who have been living under the radar. Do you really need to resort to something as low as kidnapping?" Ashton opened his eyes and let out a cold laugh. "How else would I get you here when you know it's a lion's den?" Ashton jumped down from the boulder, taking a deep breath. "You should know very well your friends won't appear now. I can only guarantee you that they're still alive." Just as he was about to continue, Felix's phone rang. A glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw it was Karina calling. "Felix, your friends have been rescued. They were being guarded by a martial artist who's reached the peak of Grandmaster Realm, but I chased them away." Felix felt way more at ease now. Karina had never let him down; she had indeed rescued them. The only surprising par
At sunrise, Ashton sat cross-legged on a large boulder at the foot of a mountain in Dragonia. With his eyes closed, he was waiting for Felix's arrival. But his mind wasn't nearly as calm as he appeared. Bonnie had died at Felix's hands, which only showed they had underestimated Felix's soul abilities. But with the Ancient Sage's Mirror Shard, that wasn't too concerning. However, Terrence's death had truly shocked him. Both he and Terrence were among the Four Inferior Protectors of the Eight Guardians, and they were evenly matched. They had competed more than once, but it always ended in a draw. Though they never fought to the death, this gave a pretty good indication of their relative abilities. Yet, despite this, Felix had killed Terrence. This was why Ashton had accepted the stranger's proposal to work together against Felix. Otherwise, with Terrence's fate as a warning, going alone would be nothing short of suicide. Not far from Ashton stood four people. There were three e
So, it was Specter! The call had ended, but Felix now understood what was actually going on. The one working with Ashton had to be Specter. Of course, Specter himself probably wouldn't show up. After all, Donna had already informed Felix that Specter wouldn't trouble him anymore, or she would take action against Specter regardless of the consequences. Specter must have sent others to do his dirty work. Besides, Specter had his own concerns—Zara was now his absolute nemesis. He certainly wouldn't appear in person until he had regained enough strength to fight. Felix sighed helplessly and slowly took out his phone. With two lives at stake, he really couldn't handle this situation alone. Elsewhere, Donna was with Specter. "I promised I wouldn't bother Felix anymore, and I'll keep my word. I've already tested your limits, so why are you still watching me like a hawk?" Specter sipped his tea in small gulps, seemingly in a good mood. "Watching you?" Donna scoffed. "Go ahead the
Felix's face turned ashen. Despite the fact that both Jack and Madeline were secretly protected by martial artists of the Transcendent Realm, his worst fears had come true. "Are the protectors dead?" he asked.To his surprise, Xena shook her head. "No. For whatever reason—maybe caution on their part—the attackers just knocked out the protection team." What frustrated Felix most was not knowing which faction was responsible. The only group he could rule out was the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians. Regardless of everything else, the Ancient Sage had a reputation to maintain and understood the principle of not harming families. If they hadn't played by the rules, the Eight Guardians would have already attacked Felix as a group, not one by one. That left the Hall of Souls and Specter as the most likely culprits. One had no moral boundaries and had already betrayed both country and humanity, so what other ethics would they possibly observe? As for Specter, being an S-tier Malevole
Koros opened his eyes with difficulty, and they were filled with utter disbelief. Felix wasn't about to waste time with words. He knew to strike while the iron was hot, so he immediately launched his attack. He could tell that what appeared before him wasn't Koros' physical form, but his soul. With a miserable scream, Koros had no chance to fight back and was crushed on the spot by Felix. When it was all over, Felix was breathing heavily. To prevent any unexpected situations, he had really given his all, draining his soul energy at a frightening rate. "Well, at least the job's done." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Felix managed a faint smile. He had gained a renewed respect for how dangerous S-tier Malevolent Phantoms could be. He had gone all out this time, even using Lone Paragon to enhance his soul combat power for the first time. Meanwhile, the Mystical Explosive Orb began replenishing his energy rapidly. After the pleasant sensation subsided, Felix remained at the H
With a loud bang, the woman's body crashed heavily to the floor in an instant. It was clear that something wasn't right with Koros. Koros asked, "Are you bowing to me? You stupid brat, did you think that would stop me from killing you?" Upon seeing Felix suddenly bow, Koros laughed even more uncontrollably. "Sorry." Only Felix knew who this bow was really for. It was for the woman, of course. With her mental disability, she likely felt little even as she died. And now that her soul was finally healed, she'd never get to experience what that meant.A soul wave spread throughout Medic's Haven. Then Felix watched as countless insects swarmed toward Koros at speeds that seemed like teleportation. In less than a second, Koros disappeared. In his place was a pure black shell, like an egg about ten feet in diameter. Strange black light danced across its surface. At this moment, Felix did not dare waste a second. This was exactly what he had been waiting for. "Lone Paragon!" He
