"I wonder if she can withstand it."When everyone was discussing the fight, Darryl felt the aura from Joewel's longsword. He had a solemn expression on his face.Lumi also looked slightly afraid when she faced Joewel's ultimate technique, A Kill In Every Ten Steps. Without thinking further, she drew her sword to withhold the attack.As one of the Hexa Swordmaiden from Belladonna Palace, her swordsmanship was quite extraordinary too. So, she was not scared as she faced Joewel's incredible ultimate technique.Their bodies collided in mid-air the next second, making a clear, crisp sound. Joewel's attack caused Lumi to lose her longsword.Lumi was as strong as Joewel under normal circumstances. She had, however, expended a lot of internal energy in fighting Darryl with her sisters. As a result, she lacked the strength to withstand Joewel's A Kill Every Ten Steps.When Lumi no longer held the longsword, Joewel turned around and slashed open a cold ray in the air as he moved toward Lum
Whoa! At the same time, the other elites could not watch any longer, calling out loud as well."Elder Martin is right. That was too much of you.""That was just a little practice duel. How could you strike so hard?""That's right. You really went too far."Lumi's expression was ice-cold as the jeers sounded over as she cast a glance around her. "It's their fault they're not competent enough. Why blame others?""I went easy enough on him already. Otherwise, the lot of them would be in a far worse state."Lumi was right. The Hexa Swordmaidens were extremely cruel and ruthless, and they had indeed gone easy earlier. Otherwise, there would not have been a single survivor out of those challengers.Lumi was highly competitive and sincerely believed in the strongest prevailing at the very end. However, she had forgotten that it was just a temporary alliance, and her ruthlessness made it nearly impossible for anyone to trust her.As the words rang through the air, the surrounding peo
When did a member of the Hexa Swordmaidens ever back down in the face of a threat?"Since you refuse to show an ounce of humanity, don't fault us for what we're about to do."Martin did not wish to waste his words any further. He looked meaningfully at Lumi before calling out loudly, "Don't hesitate for a second further, fellow fighters! Let's join forces and take down this venomous woman. Kill!"As the word rang through the air, the pupils from different sects exploded with internal energy. They gripped their respective weapons, charging in Lumi's direction.Lumi's exquisite features instantly flushed crimson as she roared, "Fakes, the lot of you! I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to take my life, though."Buzz!Amidst her shock and fury, Lumi exploded with internal energy as a strong aura rolled out around her.Sensing Lumi's overwhelming aura, the pupils from the sects shook with mild uneasiness. Many of them slowed down their footsteps, hesitant to strike. Everyone who w
"She really is one of the Hexa Swordmaidens. I can't believe she could take down so many people while surrounded. How terrifying. However, I'm pretty sure the sword chant took up a great deal of her energy."Amidst everyone's shock, Lumi could be seen with a pale face, and her slender body was trembling. It was evident that the last terrifying sword chant she summoned had used up a great deal of her internal energy, and she did not have much of it left.Upon discovering that, Martin could not help but shout, "Quick! Her internal energy's almost gone. Let's strike at once, and take her down. Whoever becomes the first to take her down will have the right to do whatever they want with her."In response, the crowd rushed forward in a crazed manner.They had guessed correctly. Lumi had lost a severe amount of internal energy, and could not take upon the attacks of the incoming throng.Within seconds, she had been stabbed twice, blood gushing out instantly.The pain from her wounds gre
Ho ho!Sensing Martin's rage, Darryl merely smiled calmly."That doesn't matter. What matters is that so many of you are ganging up on one woman. What are people going to say if this gets out?"Also, she's one of the Hexa Swordmaidens from the Belladonna Palace. Aren't you worried in the slightest that today's humiliation will be returned to you in the future?"Martin's face flushed crimson as he did not know how to respond all at once.At the same time, the other elites' expressions were also awkward.Quickly enough, Martin returned to his senses. His eyes flashed with fury as he said coldly to Darryl, "This is between the Belladonna Palace and us. It's none of your business. Get lost if you have any sense in you, or you won't live to see another day."'He doesn't even dare show his face. Trying to stir the pot over here… He must have a death wish.'"What if I refuse to leave?" Darryl said lightly.Martin did not waste any more words to answer Darryl. He exploded with interna
"Alright!"Upon entering the attic, Darryl looked around before adding lightly, "This place looks pretty out of the way, so I don't think anyone will come by within a short time. You won't have to worry about being found. You can rest and heal here safely. I'm going to be on my way."As the words rang through the air, Darryl turned to leave.Despite having his face covered, Darryl knew that the Hexa Swordmaidens were no ordinary women. If he were to mess up in the slightest and reveal his identity to them by accident, nothing good could come out of it.He had barely taken two steps when Lumi's voice blared from behind him. "You… You stand right there! The Belladonna Palace never takes free favors! Tell me your name, and I'll be sure to repay you in the future."Lumi's expression was nothing but frail as she spoke, yet her eyes shone with determination.Uhh…Darryl stood there as he turned to look at Lumi with a pained smile. "I just said I was only passing by and helping you out
His voice was not loud, but it radiated with great authority.Martin looked nothing but calm then, but he fought hard to conceal his excitement.Haha!Lumi of the Hexa Swordmaidens had taken down so many elites earlier, leaving not many people left at all. The position of Alliance Master was his without a doubt.Whew…Many of the elites looked at each other as not a single one of them dared to step forward to challenge him. Many sect representatives had lost to Lumi earlier, and there were indeed not that many people left that could go up.Hoho…As no one came forward, Martin's confidence grew as he flashed a light smile, speaking slowly, "If you're not too confident in yourselves, why don't we change the rules a little? Starting now, any sects that haven't sent out representatives can send out two people to challenge me. How's that?"The sects that had not sent out anyone yet were some of the smaller sects in the world. Even if they were to send out two people from each sect,
At the sight, the onlookers were filled with excitement and disbelief.It was said that the skills of the Metal Alcove Sect were impossibly strong, capable of crushing rocks and parting mountains.Since they could see it in person, it was indeed true as had been told.Also, those two brothers had impeccable chemistry. They could beat Martin.Interesting…Seeing the two brothers join forces and strike, Martin smiled as he did not panic, raising his hands and summoning his internal energy to form a protective shield before him.All that could be seen on the protective shield were watery veins that looked like flowing water. It was the 'Water Trickle Chant' that Martin had cultivated.Rumble!The protective shield appeared just as the brother's blow landed against it, letting out a deafening crash. All that could be seen were the two brothers stumbling backward a few steps.Martin's protective shield had also been completely destroyed, but he remained unmoved on his feet.It was
