Bam!Andrius did not back down and confronted Norvin with a palm strike as well.“Pfft...”Norvin’s strength was overwhelming. It was far beyond what Andrius, a pseudo-Martial King, could compare with. With just one strike, Andrius was sent flying and coughing up blood.All this happened in the blink of an eye.Even Kate could not react in time to stop it. Andrius had already fallen to the ground.“Wolf King!”Seeing Norvin preparing for another strike, the Black Hawk’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately stood in front of Andrius.“Stop!”Wade finally reacted at that moment. He blocked Norvin’s path and said coldly, “Don’t go too far, Norvin.”“Heh...”Norvin’s mouth curled down, radiating a chilling intent, and he lunged forward again.Seeing his persistence, Wade stopped retreating and met the attack with a palm as well.Rumble...The moment the two palms collided, a strong shockwave scattered in all directions, almost lifting the tent. The furnishings
Everyone turned to look and were shocked.While the Swallows and the Medicine Sect were in a standoff, Andrius had brought the map to a nearby torch.“If you dare to mess around...” Andrius had a smile on his face, appearing very relaxed. “Then, I’ll just set the map on fire. I’m already a dead man, so what do I have to fear?”As he spoke, he moved the map toward the torch.Thick black smoke billowed up, and the map was partially charred in an instant.“No!”“Andrius, stop!”“Don’t! The map must not be destroyed—”Damian, Ronald, and Tyrell saw this and were instantly frightened. They quickly shouted at him to stop him.Norvin’s expression also suddenly changed.Killing Andrius would mean nothing to the Swallows. There would be no impact.However, destroying the treasure map would ruin their ambitions and efforts over many years, turning them all to ashes!Tyrell was the first to step forward, leading the members of the Anders to stand with the Medicine Sect. He frowned and
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Andrius said calmly, “I won’t seek death on my own. As long as you transfer your inner energy to Kate, and she uses acupuncture to pass it on to me, everything will be fine.”Kate was the only person Andrius trusted.Moreover, they had experienced it together, Kate understood the intricacies and tasted the benefits, so she was naturally willing to help.The four family heads exchanged glances, feeling that the matter was not so simple. However, they could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.“In that case, let’s start.” Norvin was silent for a moment before agreeing to Andrius’ request. “Bring the map over, Andrius.”“There’s no rush.” Andrius smiled and said leisurely, “I still don’t really trust you four, so make an oath.”A cold glint flashed in Norvin’s expression.However, he did as Andrius requested. Making an oath was not a big deal.“I, Norvin Swallow, the head of the Swallow family, swear that I will not harm Andrius Moonshade to o
Of course, it was just an impulse.He quickly suppressed the thought. After all, he had sworn an oath. He had not reached the point where he could ignore such vows.“Phew...”After a moment, Andrius absorbed most of the inner energy and exhaled a long breath, saying, “That’s enough for now.”Wade removed his hand from Kate’s back, and Kate began to recover.Andrius bled for the second time.The process continued in cycles.After several rounds, the map had transformed completely, revealing a new route, a new core location, and new geographical features.Andrius’ complexion fluctuated from pale to rosy several times. His meridians had mostly been repaired, with just one final connection missing.Andrius estimated that he would fully recover with one final step.Apart from this, Kate was the one who benefited the most after Andrius.The powerful inner energy of the four family heads and her grandfather, along with Andrius’ incredible acupuncture technique, had actually helped
Although it was true that martial realm experts were divided into five major stages—Martial Lord, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial God, and Martial Saint—the most powerful person that Kate knew was her grandfather.Wade had already been a late-stage Martial Emperor for many years.If Norvin had truly broken through to Martial God, he would be the most dominating presence and disrupt the current balance of power!This treasure-hunting journey would go from being ambiguous to clear: the Swallows would be in control!This was definitely not good news for the Medicine Sect and might even bring more harm than good.Kate shook her thoughts and asked seriously, “Grandpa, what stage are you in now?”Wade sighed and smiled wryly. “I’m considered to be at the peak of the Martial Emperor stage, almost reaching the realm of Martial God, but I’m not quite there yet.”Kate frowned slightly.Seeing her concerned expression, Wade added, “However, if Norvin has just entered the Martial Go
Chitter!Swoosh!Boom!The next moment, the Sanguis bats swooped down and landed in the midst of the people from the four families, opening their mouths to tear and bite.They were incredibly ferocious and bloodthirsty!Boom!Smack!Thud!The experts from the four families fought back, but some of them were still injured.Then, something strange happened.The experts who were attacked by the bats paused for a moment. Their expressions turned extremely fierce, and their eyes became bloodshot.Then, they lost their rationality and began attacking those around them.“Oh no! These bats can paralyze the nerves. Those who’ve been bitten have lost their sanity!”“Spread out!”...Everyone immediately moved away from each other, fearing the infected individuals.“Hmph.” Norvin snorted coldly with an expressionless face, watching as an infected expert charged toward him. He struck with a powerful punch.Bam!The person’s brain splattered, dying on the spot.Smack!Swoosh!S
“This is...”A flash of anger crossed Norvin’s face, but he did not know what to say.“Why don’t we clear the debris?” someone said then, then fell silent.With half of the mountain collapsed, even a bulldozer would have a hard time cleaning it up quickly, let alone them who had to rely solely on manpower.“What about the map? Where does the entrance point to?” Norvin shouted at the Black Hawk with a dark expression.“There’s no need to look.” Black Hawk said helplessly, “It’s a hundred meters into the valley entrance, right at the center of the explosion earlier.”Norvin’s expression grew darker at those words.Their progress was blocked. Everyone had to sit down and discuss a plan.“How about we dig a hole and bury explosives, then blast it again to create a path?” Damian looked at everyone.“No.” The Black Hawk shook his head. “The amount of explosives is hard to control. Meet again may cause changes to the terrain, making the entrance even harder to find.”“How about this
Swoosh, swoosh!At that moment, numerous tendrils emerge one after another in the areas where the underground movements were the most intense, launching fierce attacks on the nearest targets.For a while, chaos and panic spread.Andrius watched it all clearly.These tendrils appeared to be extremely tough vines.Even the family heads struggled to break them with a single move. The high-level experts of each family who were entangled by the tendrils found themselves in dire straits.The situation instantly became unfavorable.Swoosh!Whoosh, whoosh!Andrius observed the situation while constantly dodging to avoid direct attacks from the tendrils. He noticed the nearby campfire and had a bold idea.In theory, tendrils were a type of plant and should be somewhat afraid of fire.Thus, Andrius picked up a torch to fend off the tendrils.However...Once the tendrils sensed the presence of fire, they became incredibly aggressive. Their strikes became even faster and their strengt
