Hearing that, Thomas stopped and said, “Yes, the secret of the Four Ancient Paintings is to document the Spirit Turtle's secret. As to whether it can give people eternal life, I don't know either. That’s the information left by the Prince of Orchid Mountain. One thing is certain: the Core of the Spirit Turtle can greatly enhance people's power.”“Then, Sir Caden, you stole the paintings from the other three families. You were also the one who instigated the feud between the four families. Previously, Yaroslav said you work for the Gu Sect Supreme Leader, Callan. Are these all true? What kind of person are you exactly?”Thea asked the question that had been on her mind.This was not just her question; it was also James' question. It was just that Thomas had not been showing up, so James did not have the chance to ask.Thea was curious to find out what kind of person Thomas was exactly. Was he a good person, or a bad person?“Thea…” Thomas let out a sigh and said, “You must remember
When the Malevolent King was nearing death, he had a clear mind.He did not want the evil sword technique he had spent a century developing to be lost. So, before he died, he carved it on the stone wall and left his last words.“Those who lack sufficient merit should not practice.”Thomas could not help but sigh when he read that. He was in the eighth rank.With his strength, he would still have been considered one of the top elites a thousand years ago, yet he could not practice the cultivation method and the evil sword technique that was documented on the stone wall.“He was just another unfortunate man, trapped here for a century. On top of that, he had been drifting in and out of insanity throughout that time.”Thea glanced at the texts and depiction on the stone wall absentmindedly. If even Thomas could not practice it, she certainly would not be able to.“Sir Caden, let’s find a way out as soon as possible. We don't know how things are going out there or how James is doing
Thomas stood still, raised his hand, and a burst of powerful energy radiated from his palm. The energy swirled and blocked the burst of Sword Energy that was heading toward him. In a flash, he then appeared behind Thea and tapped on a few major meridians on her back.The blood-red glow in Thea’s eyes immediately dissipated.She collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.Thomas stood to a side and looked at Thea, who had collapsed and was unconscious on the ground. He had a somber expression on his aged face.The blood of the Spirit Turtle was Beast Blood. Even an elite like the Malevolent King could not withstand the Devilish Energy contained in the blood. It was undeniably bad that Thea was now tainted with Beast Blood.A burst of True Energy formed in his palm as he raised his hand. He wanted to kill Thea while she was still unconscious so that she would not wake up and suffer from the Beast Blood.Even though he had raised his hand, he was hesitant to strike. Eventually,
After saving Callan, James returned to the Mount Thunder Sect that had turned into ruins. He was met with the sound of intense fighting as soon as he got close.Sensing a battle, James quickly approached. When he got closer, he discovered it was an intense fight involving several people. Two elders were being surrounded and attacked by several individuals. James knew the two elders. One was Tobias, and the other was Bennett.Among the several people that had surrounded the two, James only recognized one of them. He was Yaakov, the Grand Patriarch of the Johnstons, a.k.a. Mr. Yaakov. These people had already been injured, and their True Energy was currently low, so they were not particularly powerful. James immediately rushed over and shouted, “What are you doing? Everyone, stop!”His roar was as loud as muffled thunder. The eardrums of the people that were fighting went numb, and they quickly backed away.At the center of the battlefield…Tobias and Bennett were leaning back
As the voice reverberated, countless incorporeal fists manifested and surged toward them with destructive force.“The Blithe Fist of Abomination?”James’ expression changed slightly and he drew the Blade of Justice. With a flash, he appeared up ahead. The longsword in his grasp emitted a brilliant Sword Energy, blocking all of the terrifying punches.The approaching individual was the Grand Patriarch of the Blithe family, Winston Blithe. He was already injured, and now James' Sword Energy jolted him backward.“Haha. James, good job.”Bennett laughed heartily before quickly disappearing from the area with Tobias.“Damn it,” Winston cursed.He wanted to pursue them, but James was in his way. He could not replicate himself to chase after them either.“You’re looking for death, brat.” Winston glared at James, his expression slightly darkened.The core of the Spirit Turtle was shattered into eight pieces, and there were many people battling the Spirit Turtle. There were over ten fr
“What a wretched technique.”Yaakov narrowed his eyes disdainfully when he saw that James’ body had turned bronze in color.He tightened his grip on his longsword, and his body appeared in front of James in a flash.His movements were as fast as lightning.James did not even have time to react before he found the sword pressed against his chest.Fortunately, he had activated the Invincible Body Siddhi, and his defenses had increased significantly. In Yaakov’s current state, his attack would barely be able to leave a scratch on him.Although Yaakov’s sword could not penetrate James’ flesh, the force of the attack rebounded back on Yaakov and he felt a strong jolt through his body. His body swayed back and forth from the impact.The shock shattered the stones on the ground and kicked up large clouds of dust into the air.“What’s this?” Yaakov exclaimed in shock.Although he was injured and was no longer in his prime, he was still an eighth-ranked grandmaster. Meanwhile, James wa
James was taken aback.He quickly thrust his sword at Yaakov.Yaakov withdrew his sword and jumped back as he dodged.James lowered his head and saw blood flowing out from his chest.Yaakov’s attack had broken through his defenses and managed to injure him. Fortunately, it was not a fatal blow.“Is that all there is to an eighth-ranked grandmaster?”James had come to understand Yaakov’s strength.“Well, then. Let’s see how you like this!”James leaped up and his body rose tens of meters in the blink of an eye. The Blade of Justice in his hands began to shine brightly, and Sword Energies began to form.In an instant, thirteen Sword Energies circled menacingly in the air in front of him.They floated horizontally in the air and their blades glinted threateningly as if they could easily split Heaven and Earth asunder.“T-Thirteen Heavenly Swords?”Yaakov's face paled.The people from Sullivan and Lee families watching from a distance also backed away at the sight of the fable
Yaakov was an eighth-ranked grandmaster but had sustained countless injuries from previous battles.While he was distracted by the attacks from James’ Thirteen Heavenly Swords, James seized the opportunity and went behind him.He pressed the Blade of Justice against Yaakov’s back.Yaakov froze.He could not believe that he would lose to a youngster like James.“It’s your loss, old man.” A voice as cold as the blade pressed against his back came from behind him.James’ sword did not pierce through Yaakov’s body but could easily do so if he exerted the slightest force.“I lost?”Yaakov’s jaw hung open.Members of the Lee and Sullivan family watched this scene in grim silence. Their faces were all clouded over.Yaakov Johnston, who held an image as the peerless grandmaster for over a hundred years, had just been defeated by a man a fraction of his age.The other martial artists that rushed over to watch the battle in the dark also had concerned expressions.Strong.James wa
