"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
As he spoke, Martin was about to step out of the clearing.Then, a faint voice could be heard. "Since no one wants to step forward, I'll give it a go!"As the words rang through the air, a tall and broad figure strode into the clearing slowly.Clad in long black robes with a tall and broad figure, his gaze shone with a bone-chilling frost.It was the True Flame Sect Master—Adam Bedford.The True Flame Sect had once been one of the ten main sects of the Cryolet Continent. However, five hundred years ago, it began to go down before disappearing from the world's attention altogether.Recently, the True Flame Sect had fallen to be only considered a second-best sect in the world. Members from more prominent sects and even pirates and hooligans hardly saw them as a threat.The sect master of the True Flame Sect was Adam, a man of around thirty years of age. He was incredibly skilled and had once used a mere two years to develop the True Flame Sect's highest form of skills and powers.
Adam had such potent skills, ending up as Martin's equal after a collision of blows.Did the True Flame Sect not go down forever a while ago? How was he so powerful?Martin was shocked as well. It was important to note that the blow earlier had taken up seventy percent of his internal energy. How had he ended up drawing with Adam?He could also clearly sense that Adam had not used his full strength.'F*ck!'Martin had underestimated his opponent.Amidst his shock, Martin chuckled at Adam."You are strong indeed, Sect Master Adam. It's my honor to be learning from you then. Don't mind if I do."As the words rang through the air, he charged forward once again. Adam laughed before a fierce battle broke out between the two.Martin had been nothing but confident at the start. However, after a few rounds, he found his shock growing by the second. He could sense that his opponent's internal energy was like a vast ocean, with a great deal of hidden potential. Even if he were to use al
Just then, a few of the True Flame Sect pupils called out to Adam."At your service, Alliance Master."The crowd hesitated for a brief second before kneeling to bow to Adam."Alliance Master.""At your service, Alliance Master."Like Martin, none of the sect pupils had guessed that Adam would have won the duel. However, upon seeing that the man was so powerful, it was only fair that he became Alliance Master.Ho ho…At the sight, a pleased smile appeared on Adam's face as he waved his hands good-naturedly."You're all too kind. We're only forming this alliance so we can better explore this place. This isn't a real sect alliance. I'm more than happy with you just calling me Sect Master Adam."As the words rang through the air, Adam looked around, saying in a serious tone, "I'm sure everyone must be tired from the duel earlier. Let's all get some rest, then start looking around.""Yes…"…Over on another end, in the cramped attic.After half an hour of energy transferring, L
Darryl could clearly remember that the forest of wooden pillars at Zilong's tomb was actually an incredibly powerful formation. The stonetree forest before him was nearly identical to the one at Zilong's tomb.Of course, the stonetree forest was many times bigger than the wooden one in Zilong's tomb, thus making its illusion power even stronger as well.Darryl did not panic in the slightest.The formation was hazardous to others, but it hardly threatened Darryl. It was important to note that throughout the years, Darryl had reached the highest form of knowledge and understanding regarding formations.He could practically walk out of the formation before him with his eyes closed.Just then, Darryl cast a glance around him. Then, without hesitation, he rushed into the stonetree forest.Upon entering, Darryl stood still before turning around to smile at Lumi. "My beautiful darling Lumi. I wouldn't keep chasing if I were you. However, this stonetree forest is a formation, so you ma
The next second, Lumi looked in Darryl's direction, and her body trembled at the sight.Darryl was nowhere to be seen, and not far away instead was her oldest sister—Alora.Lumi did not know that she was already under the influence of the illusion formation, and that she was hallucinating. The person standing before her was not Alora, but Darryl."Oldest Sister!"Seeing her family filled Lumi with glee instantly. She walked over, grabbing Darryl by the hand and saying in an overjoyed tone, "I've finally found you, Oldest Sister. How wonderful…"The most powerful aspect of the illusion formation was that it could display one's deepest desires in front of them.All Lumi wanted most ever since she had wandered into the underground town was to find Alora and the rest of her sisters. Thus, the illusion formation promptly turned Darryl into Alora.Uhh…Sensing Lumi's joy, Darryl was slightly embarrassed. He knew Lumi was already hallucinating and that she had mistaken him for her sis
