James moved with blinding speed.Tobias was unable to counter his attack.James was too strong.His strength was enough to cause Tobias to vomit blood.Everyone was shocked to see James attack Tobias.Tobias’ strength was public knowledge and he had become one of the most terrifying existences in Sol.There were not many people who could stand against him in Sol.Moreover, it was rumored that Tobias had absorbed James’ True Energy. It had only been slightly over half a month since it happened. Everyone was confused as to how James had regained his strength.In actuality, James’ speed was not that much faster than Tobias'.James’ current rank was at the borderline of the Skyward Stair’s Sixth Stair.Tobias had also ascended the Fifth Stair.There was not much of a difference between their ranks.However, Tobias was careless.At that moment, he only expected that Thea would be a threat to him and never thought that James’ strength had recovered. What’s more, he never expecte
He quickly decided to forfeit the battle and escape.Swoosh!Thea had been watching the battle from a distance.Seeing that Tobias was trying to flee, she quickly moved and appeared in front of him, blocking his path.“Think you can leave?”Thea looked at him coldly and said, “You can’t leave now that you’re here. Mt. Thunder Pass shall be your resting place.”After saying that, she raised the Malevolent Sword and swung it forward.A hundred-meter-long Sword Light emerged.Tobias quickly dodged the attack.Boom!The hundred-meter-long sword light smashed into the ground.Immediately, the mountain began to shake.All of Mt. Thunder Pass began to collapse.At that moment, James joined in. He used the Blithe Fist of Abomination. His body flickered through the sky, and countless illusions of palms materialized in the air.In just a brief moment, Tobias was struck many times by the palms.Tobias had been beaten into a miserable state and no longer had his previous invincible
The masked man wounded Maxine and pushed her away. Then, he quickly dragged Tobias, who had been pierced by the eighty-one needles, with him.Thea chased after them.She knew Tobias would die after being struck by Exalter.The person who saved Tobias must have been his comrade.Thus, he also had to die.Meanwhile, James quickly rushed to Maxine.When he got close to her, she had already collapsed into a pool of blood.Blood constantly gushed out of her mouth.James tried to help her but noticed that her back was also stained red with blood. He instantly tore off her clothes and saw her bloody back.Seeing this, he panicked a little.He quickly took her hand and checked her pulse.James’ expression turned solemn.“What’s wrong?”Thomas showed up just then and said, “Move. Let me take a look.”James did not have Crucifier with him. Without it, his medical skills were significantly reduced.He immediately stepped aside.Thomas quickly checked Maxine’s injury and catalyzed
Unfortunately, there was a problem with her body.Her blood had completely transformed into the Spirit Turtle’s blood. Initially, it did not affect her body, and the Spirit Turtle’s blood was perfectly compatible with her organs.However, there was now an incompatibility.Her blood had lost its ability to regenerate, and if she lost blood, her body would not be able to compensate for it.Her body had already stopped supplying blood to some of her organs.Therefore, she had to force the blood to circulate to some of her organs.According to her estimation, she only had a few more years to live.Once her body ran out of blood to supply to her organs, she would die.It was also possible for her to die from excessive blood loss.“I-I’m fine.”Thea gently shook her head.She did not tell James about her condition, fearing he would worry about her.Her only wish was for James to retire as soon as possible. She wanted to use her limited time to give birth to a son or daughter for
Mt. Thunder Pass had been demolished.The cliff collapsed, and trees were uprooted everywhere.About half an hour later…Thomas was done treating Maxine.He slowly placed Maxine on the ground, letting her lie on her side.“How is she?“Is she alright, Grandpa?” James quickly inquired.Thomas replied, “Her injuries are under control. Her life won’t be in danger for the time being. However, the injury she sustained from the palm attack is quite severe, and it’ll require a long time for her to recuperate. She’ll need constant True Energy to maintain the vitality in her body. Otherwise, she might die any time.”He turned to James and continued, “The only thing that can save her is Crucifier.”“Alright.”James nodded lightly and said, “I’ll go look for Crucifier as soon as possible to treat her.”Maxine was taken hostage because of him and Thea.James felt a little guilty.“Alright, everyone, disperse.”Thomas urged the martial artists around them to leave.He scanned their f
The Omniscient Deity thought for a while and replied, “I want some of your blood.”“...”James was stunned.“You want some of my blood?”“That’s right.”“What do you need my blood for?”“You don’t have to know. I don’t need much. Just a little bit will do.”While speaking, he took out a small syringe and handed it to James, saying, “Fill this syringe up. If you agree to my condition, I’ll send you information about Xavion’s whereabouts in three days.”James did not hesitate. He took the syringe, stuck it in his arm, and drew some blood. Then, he handed it to the Omniscient Deity.“I’ll be waiting for your good news.”“Goodbye.”The Omniscient Deity did not linger. He turned around and left upon receiving James’ blood.After he left, James pondered for a while.After thinking for some time, he asked, “Delainey, do you know the Omniscient Deity well?”Delainey nodded lightly and said, “Yeah.”James asked, “What kind of person is he?”Delainey replied, “I often visit the J
Tobias was a pawn that was hard to come by.Sky did not want to give him up just yet.However, he had no means of saving Tobias.Thus, he did not want to waste Tobias’ True Energy.At that moment, Tobias felt his True Energy being rapidly sucked out of him. He panicked and tried to fight back.However, he was severely injured and on the brink of death. It was already hard for him to speak, so it was even more impossible for him to fight back.Helplessly, he watched as his True Energy was absorbed.Tobias’ True Energy was very strong, and it took Sky an hour to absorb it completely.The absorption of Tobias’ True Energy made Sky feel bloated and uncomfortable. He had to look for a place to refine the True Energy. Otherwise, his body would explode.Sky casually threw Tobias on the ground, leaving him to die.Then, he quickly left the area.Sky’s departure left Tobias in silence.Occasionally, some groans would resound in the area.Rustle!Footsteps approached.There was th
Surviving was Tobias’ top priority.“I’ll pass on the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals to you right now.”“What?” Tobias looked puzzled.Thomas explained, “It’s the signature martial art technique James cultivated. It’s how James managed to recover his strength and become a top expert.”“Alright, hurry…”Tobias could not wait.Thomas began to teach him the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals.At the same time, he used his True Energy to maintain Tobias’ vitality and keep him alive.Meanwhile, James was already on his way back to Southern Plains City.He was completely unaware that Thomas had left earlier to look for Tobias and set up his plans to slay the dragon.James drove back to Southern Plains City.Thea sat in the passenger seat and stared out the window in a daze.Delainey sat in the back row without saying anything.The car ride was quiet, and the atmosphere felt a little off.“By the way…”James suddenly turned to Thea, who was staring blankly out the window, and asked, “Thea,
