'This can't be…'Amidst the ground-breaking shock in his heart, Adam stood frozen as he was unable to return to his senses.Just then, Darryl put away the Red Lotus Fayette, staring at Adam with the ghost of a smile on his face. "I told you that you were no match for me, Adam. Do you believe me now? Also, let me repeat that I have never learned the mysterious cultivation method of the Heavenly Secret Palace. What I summoned earlier was the Red Lotus Fayette. It's not from here. Got it?"As he spoke, Darryl's gaze was nothing but pitiful.Adam was quite a talented cultivator, but his downfall was his relentless ego.'The Red Lotus Fayette?'Adam's gaze flashed at the words, his mind working furiously. After racking his brains, he still could not remember ever knowing of such a thing.A few seconds later, Adam laughed loudly in Darryl's direction as if he had just realized something. "Haha! Do you really think I'm that stupid, Darryl Darby? You made up all that junk about the Red
At the sight, everyone, including Rachelle and the other True Flame Sect pupils, was frightened."Hahaha!"Before waiting for everyone to react, Adam let out a crazed laugh as he leaped up and went off into the distance.Rachelle bit her lip. She was overwhelmed and unable to hide her confusion.What had happened while she was unconscious for her Senior Brother to have gotten triggered so harshly?The True Flame Sect pupils also exchanged glances, not knowing what to do.A few seconds later, Rachelle returned to her senses as she cried in a panic, "What are you doing just standing there? Why aren't you following him? Also, someone come and unblock my acupoint."She had had her acupoint blocked by Darryl and was still unable to move.The pupils returned to their senses as they rushed in the direction Adam went to while one of them came over to unblock Rachelle's acupoint.Upon regaining freedom, Rachelle stood up as she could not hide the humiliation and rage from her expressio
As the words rang through the air, Zacho leaped into mid-air, soaring onto the clearing by the entrance.Sam followed closely behind.Huh?Upon landing in the clearing, both men stopped short. They could clearly sense that someone was in the cave, and it seemed like they were cultivating.How could someone be cultivating in a place so closed off?The next second, both men exchanged glances before walking in slowly.Him?Barely a few steps in, Zacho and Sam stopped short at the sight before them.All that could be seen was a figure sitting on a large rock inside. His hair fell across his shoulders wildly, and his clothes were a mess as he radiated a powerful aura.It was Adam.Upon a few seconds of stunned silence, Sam was the first to respond. He said in a low voice to Zacho, "Master, I heard that the sect master of the True Flame Sect went missing this morning. The True Flame Sect pupils have been searching high and low for him. I can't believe he's here. Let me guess… Was t
As he spoke, Adam's gaze flashed with unconcealed greed.Whew…Sam could not help but gasp in shock as he said, “Are you suggesting we… kill him later, Master?"Sam had been there back when the sects had formed a temporary alliance, where Adam had taken down everyone in pursuit of the position of alliance leader.That was how Sam knew how powerful Adam was. He felt slightly uneasy about seeing his Master make a move to kill the man. He knew that one out of two parties was bound to get hurt.Zacho may be powerful, but it definitely was not going to be easy for him to take Adam's life.Zacho frowned at the look on Sam's face, saying impatiently, "Foolish. Adam's in the right state. He's bound to fight with his life if we try to strike head-on. We'll have to attack in secret if we're going to kill him."As he spoke, Zacho looked at the night sky before him and continued, "I noticed that Adam seemed on the verge of entering a psychotic break, so there's no need for us to do anything
Adam sat in the deepest part of the cave, and his expression was murderous as his entire body was ablaze from head to toe.Hiss…Sam could not help but gulp at the terrifying fiery aura, his gaze full of fear.He could clearly sense that the energy radiating from Adam was more than twice as strong as what he had expressed in the underground town.Adam had truly been putting up an act. Who knew he had been that strong the entire time?At the same time, Zacho stared intently at Adam, unable to his excitement.Zacho returned to his senses a few seconds later as if he had come upon a great treasure."Interesting… It's no wonder Adam still dared to go after Darryl after all the sects left. He's acquired the ultimate skill of the True Flame Sect—the Art of Grand Brightness. Haha! What a pleasant surprise this is."As he spoke, Zacho was nothing but excited. Adam had mastered the ultimate skill of the True Flame Sect, which only further proved that he had to have its secret chant on h
Hoho…Sensing Adam's rage, Zacho did not panic one bit as he smirked and scoffed, "Your little True Flame Sect is nothing more than a second-class sect, Adam Bedford. You're nothing compared to the three big sects."You might be strong and smart, but you're no match for me. You should just take my advice and give up on trying to take revenge against me. All you have to do is bow down to me three times, and I'll let whatever grievances there are between us go."However, if you insist on revenge, I have nothing but confidence in my ability to bring you and the True Flame Sect endless tragedy. Don't you forget that I'm not just the head of the Elixir Sector at the Pure Yang Division, but I've also got the protection of the Saber Saint. What do you have against me? Hmm?"As he spoke the words, Zacho had an utmost arrogant tone of speech, insulting the True Flame Sect to nothingness.He knew clearly enough that Adam was an extremely prideful man, and he could not stand humiliation or d
What?Zacho and Sam got a shock as they saw Adam come to his senses suddenly.'How… How could this be?'Adam had already entered a psychotic break, and Sam had also landed a heavy blow against his core. How could he be completely fine, and even come to his senses?What both men did not know then was that the Art of Grand Brightness did not only hold the power of the flame shadow, but it operated in a manner that was completely different from most cultivation methods.Most cultivation methods, once having entered a psychotic break and suffering a harsh blow to the core, would result in the cultivator's death without a doubt.However, the Art of Grand Brightness was an exception. Under the circumstances of entering a psychotic break, attacking the core would not only help the cultivator escape death, but actually heal them.In other words, Zacho and Sam had not only saved Adam's life, but they had also brought him back to his senses.At last, Zacho responded as he stared in shock
As the words rang through the air, Zacho let out a crazed laugh, his eyes flashing wildly. "Haha! Adam Bedford, I've finally witnessed your true colors."As he spoke, Zacho's gaze turned impossibly cold. "A second-class sect will always be garbage, and it'll never stand even the slightest chance at replacing the big sects to be the pillars of the wandering world."Your Art of Grand Brightness may be powerful, but the cultivation methods of the North Sea Galaxy are not to be underestimated either."You'll pay for killing my beloved pupil!"As the final word rang through the air, a terrifying aura exploded from Zacho. In the blink of an eye, the air in the cave constricted as Zacho drew his long sword at the speed of lightning to pierce it in Adam's direction.Oh?Sensing Zacho's speed and the internal energy that burst from him, Adam's expression darkened. He did not dodge the blow, instead calling upon the Art of Grand Brightness to form a flame shield in front of him.Rumble!
