James was feeling stuffy. He could feel energy circulating inside his body as if it was on the verge of bursting forth. However, he fixed his gaze on Spencer, trying desperately to remember his every action and every word. In the dungeon… Spencer demonstrated all ten fists of the Blithe Fist of Abomination. Meanwhile, James, unable to withstand any longer, lost consciousness. After a long while, he regained consciousness. Then, he hurriedly stood up as if he was reminded of something. He swiftly walked over to Spencer. Spencer’s head was lowered, and he was sitting in a lotus position. “Master…” James called. However, Spencer remained silent. James approached him and gently pushed him, “What’s wrong, master?” The moment he pushed Spencer, however, he immediately collapsed to the ground. James froze. Then, he hurriedly took his pulse. “What?” James was stunned. Spencer’s heart was no longer beating. He had been dead for several hours. James knelt before Spencer
“Haha… I don’t think so. Didn’t the Grand Patriarch say that he beat Tobias to a pulp twenty years ago?” The men who were looking for James were chit-chatting. Meanwhile, a man was concealing himself on the top of a huge rock. It was James. Hearing their words, he frowned. It seemed that Madelyn’s plan to sow discord between the Cadens and the Blithes went smoothly. Now, both of the families had a falling out. “I have to leave this place at once.” James catalyzed True Energy and glided in the air like a bat. This time, he made sure to restrict the flow of True Energy to avoid making unnecessary noises. Although many people were searching for him, no one found him. Sneaking his way through the passageway, he arrived at the exit safely. However, the place was guarded by the Blithes’ disciples. James frowned. Then, he raised his hand, and powerful energy gushed forward to his fingertip. Whoosh! The energy struck their acupuncture points, which rendered them unconscious
James was stunned by the power of the Blithe Fist of Abomination. He took a deep breath and murmured, “Spencer told me that each fist is stronger than the previous. However, it would be more difficult to master with each increasing level. Even those who possess tremendous potential could spend a lifetime practicing the moves and never learn all ten fists. Regardless, he told me that I can defeat almost anyone as long as I master three of the ten fists.” “The First Fist: Mountain Shaper. This is a low-difficulty move. As long as I have True Energy that’s strong enough, I can use it to catalyze the cultivation method.” “The Second Fist: Mirage,” James murmured. Then, he shut his eyes. The image of Spencer demonstrating the Second Fist appeared in his mind. He could recall his master conjuring up the image of a hundred fists. James sat in a lotus position and entered into a state of deep meditation. He conjured up the image of the Second Fist while chanting its cultivation met
Another voice came. Then, a group of people approached. In its lead was a forty-year-old-looking man who weighed at least 300 pounds. His bushy eyebrows only accentuated his boorish and brutish appearance. “Patriarch Sullivan…” Flynn greeted him with a bright smile. An elderly man was sitting on a rock at the foot of Mount Littleroot not too far away. He was wearing a green suit with slightly oversized buttons. It somehow looked a little out of proportion. His face was shriveled, and his hair was disheveled. “I didn’t expect the Johnstons and Sullivans to come… I’m afraid all of the Ancient Four apart from the Cadens are here,” the elderly man murmured with a grim expression. It was James. After returning to Western Littleroot City, he went ahead and bought an old-fashioned suit. He also created a face mask and disguised himself as an old man. “They all have invitation cards. It won’t be easy for someone like me to sneak into the mountains.” James stroked his beard,
This was the Western Border. Ambitious and power-hungry, the Blithes dreamed of unifying the ancient martial world and ruling over the world. Thus, anyone who ran wild in the Blithes’ territory was unforgivable. If Flynn did not do anything, the Blithes would be the laughingstock of the world if word about the incident spread. He knew that the elderly man before him was a highly skilled martial artist, but he was unafraid. His face darkened, and he clenched his fists. Then, he took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared before James. He aimed at his chest and struck. The speed was unrivaled, and the power was immense. No ordinary man would react in time. Even James was somewhat shocked by the speed of Flynn’s attack. However, he was undaunted. After all, Flynn’s attacks would have no effect on him. Flynn was a fourth-rank. Though James did not know what rank he was currently in, Spencer had transferred all of his peak seventh-rank True Energy to him. Ev
James did not wish to concern himself with other issues at the moment. Meanwhile, Flynn swiftly made his way up the mountain too. On the second floor of a villa at the mountaintop… A few guards were kneeling. “Trash!” Enraged, Donovan rebuked them, “You still can’t find James after so many days? How am I supposed to threaten Tobias without him? How am I supposed to intimidate the crowd if I can’t execute him in public?” “Sir, the one who broke into the dungeon was extremely powerful. He defeated all the guards at the entrance and saved James with ease,” one of the guards said. “Get lost, you trash!” Donovan cursed. At that moment, Flynn walked in and greeted him respectfully, “Father.” Glancing at Flynn, Donovan asked, “Are the guests all here?” Flynn replied, “Most of them have arrived. Unfortunately, Tobias hasn’t yet. By the way, a powerful old man appeared at the foot of the mountain. Since he has no invitation card, he tried forcing his way in. When we tried to
In the foyer of a luxurious villa on the mountaintop, Donovan was conversing with a few ancient martial artists. At that moment, a disciple of the Blithe family walked in and knelt, “Maxine Caden has arrived.” Upon hearing this, the foyer fell silent. Everyone fixed their gaze on Donovan. Donovan invited them here to Mount Littleroot for a simple reason ─ To witness how the Blithes would crush the Cadens and proclaim to the world that they are the number one family of Sol. At long last, Maxine has arrived. “Is the show about to begin?” “Are the Cadens not afraid of the Blithe family’s strength?” “Is Maxine here alone? Where’s Tobias?” The crowd murmured. Donovan asked smilingly, “Is Maxine alone?” “Yes.” “Where’s Tobias?” “He’s nowhere to be seen.” Upon hearing this, Donovan’s smile froze. Then, his face darkened, and he walked out of the villa. The others followed close behind. Several hundred people were gathered outside. From afar, a woman walked toward
Whoosh! A figure leap into the air and landed steadily on the ground. Upon seeing the man’s appearance, everyone could feel a shiver down their spine. They all unconsciously took a few steps back. “Tobias…” “He came…” “Didn’t Maxine say that she’s been expelled from the family? Why would Tobias still come?” “Let’s watch the show.” The ancient martial artists were wearing mischievous grins on their faces. Tobias was wearing a black robe with a long sword on his back. Standing approximately ten meters away from Maxine, he looked at Donovan. James, who had concealed himself, released his clenched fists upon seeing Tobias. Then, he observed the situation. “You’re finally here, Tobias.” Donovan dissipated the True Energy in his palm and looked at Tobias. His face darkened, and he said coldly, “I thought we agreed to enter a marriage of state, but look what the Cadens have done. How could Maxine fool around like that before the marriage? Are you taking the Blithe family
