James headed into the building alongside Xavion. After entering the office, he handed Xavion over to Quincy and said, “I’ll leave him to you.” “Why? Are you leaving already?” The glamorous-looking Quincy, who was wearing red business attire, looked at James. “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “I don’t know much about anything here. I’ll be taking my leave.” “James, you know how Xavion is crucial to our plans. If you leave, there’s no one here who can guarantee his safety.” “That’s right. You have to protect me!” Xavion hurriedly said. Xavion was afraid. He was hidden away in Mascuoyae back then. Now that he had witnessed the overwhelming power of martial artists, he was fearful for his life. He needed James’ protection. James patted his back and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you.” James’ biggest threat was gone. Not only that, but foreign forces would not dare show themselves in the Capital in broad daylight. Even so, James still needed bodyguards to
Not many had heard of dragons, and James only learned of their existence from Thomas. As the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, even Thea had never heard of them. After all, this happened close to 1300 years ago. Not to mention there was a void in the history pages. Even within Sol, only a select few had information about the matter. Thea looked at James puzzledly and asked, “What dragons?” James narrated about dragons to her. “Meanwhile, the Vampire Clan’s Grand Patriarch─a Dragon Slayer─ was contaminated by dragon blood while he was slaying the dragon. This gave rise to the Vampire Clan of today.” As he said that, he looked at Thea. “Thea, Callan said that only by performing an exchange transfusion can you be saved. However, ordinary blood won’t do the trick. The opposite, I think, is true for dragon blood. That’s the main reason why I accepted Sky’s demands. The Vampire Clan is only closely related to one thing─dragons. I agreed to Sky’s conditions because I wanted to learn mor
Thea was curious to see who was stronger ─ Her or James? James, on the other hand, had no interest in competing whatsoever. “Of course you’re going to be the stronger one. You’re the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader!” James said smilingly. “Boring…” Thea was instantly disinterested. As they ascended the mountain, they happily chit-chatted away. Soon, they arrived at the gates of Divine Sword Villa. As many invitation letters were sent, Divine Sword Villa was crowded with people outside. Meanwhile, Divine Sword Villa’s disciples were inspecting the letters. Only those with a valid invitation letter would be allowed passage. Upon arriving, James and Thea immediately became the star of the show. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on them, especially Thea. Wearing a black dress, her delicate figure, her curvaceous figure, and her long silver hair, only accentuated her beauty. “Thea Callahan, Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect…” “James Caden…” “I didn’t expect them to be here. If they
James knew little about Dragonslayer. Although that was his plan, he would simply leave everything to fate. “James, I think it’s possible,” Callan said excitedly. “Waylon once told me that only a man of upright character can wield it. I think you should give it a try. I’ll lend you a helping hand.” As he said that, he looked at Thea. “With Thea, the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, by your side, your chance of obtaining Dragonslayer is above ninety-five percent.” “We’ll see.” James did not rush things. After all, he still had three more days. “Wait here. I’ll go outside and have a look at the martial artists that have arrived.” Callan turned to leave. Meanwhile, James and Thea waited patiently in the room. After approximately twenty minutes, Callan was back. “Not bad…” Callan said as he pushed the door open. “I saw many powerful martial artists.” Intrigued, James asked, “Who came?” “Your grandfather, Thomas, and Simon Cabral of the Mount Thunder Sect are here. Some o
Whoosh! As the furnace exploded, Dragonslayer suddenly radiated a red glow that soared upwards and illuminated the pitch-black sky. “What a terrifying aura…” “A divine sword is born.” The moment the explosion happened, everyone rushed out of their accommodation. When they saw the red glow and the terrifying aura, they could not help but exclaim. “As expected of a divine sword forged for a millennium.” “Hahaha! This sword will be fine!” Laughter boomed. Then, a figure charged toward the mountain. At the same time, James and Thea rushed out of their rooms. The moment they ran out of the house, they saw the red glow which soared to the sky. “What a terrifying aura…” Thea exclaimed. At that moment, the Malevolent Sword in her hands began shivering. The same happened to James’ Blade of Justice, which shook violently as if invigorated by a powerful force. “I-I’m about to lose control of the Malevolent Sword!” Thea exclaimed. “A fierce battle is about to break out here
”That’s James’ sword.” “I can see that. But what’s going on? Why has James’ sword merged with Dragonslayer?” Many were stunned upon seeing the two swords merging. Wearing a grim expression on his face, Waylon stared at the two swords in the sky. He murmured, “Could James’ sword be the sword King Quavon forged?” A Sect Elder of Divine Sword Villa asked, “Waylon, do you know what’s going on here?” Waylon explained, “The sword forged by King Quavon, which was called the Primordial Sword, was forged using Ascenium Steel. Meanwhile, Dragonslayer was forged using a form of quartz steel. Based on Divine Sword Villa’s ancient texts, the quartz steel was left behind when King Quavon forged the Primordial Sword. If that’s the case, it is possible for the two swords to merge as one. However, this begs the question: Why?” The merging of the two swords exceeded Waylon’s expectations. Since Dragonslayer was complete, it only needed the blood of powerful martial artists to gain strength.
Now, however, he could not even control a sword. Upon seeing Sky making a move, the others scrambled to seize control of the sword. In the blink of an eye, many came to blows as they approached the sword. Boom! A deafening blast of True Energy reverberated throughout Divine Sword Villa, and the mountain range shook violently. James did not act recklessly. Instead, he remained where he stood and watched Dragonslayer levitate in mid-air. He had no idea whether the sword was Dragonslayer or the Blade of Justice. Regardless, he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the sword. Callan appeared before James and asked, “What are you standing there for, James? This is the perfect opportunity to strike!” James looked at the sky. At that moment, a fierce battle had broken out. Whoever approached the sword would be targeted by the masses. This, ironically, created a situation where no one dared to approach the sword. “There’s no need to rush things. Let’s just watch the show for
Looking at the two-meter-long Dragonslayer glimmering a golden light, James could sense enormous power radiating from the sword as he approached it. As he reached out to grab the sword… “Mine!” A deafening roar came from afar. Radiating a powerful aura, Sky charged toward him at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the region James was in. Callan stepped forward and blocked Sky’s path, and the two clashed. Since Callan was the comparatively weaker one of the two, he was sent flying. He vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed heavily to the ground. Holding the Malevolent Sword in her hand, Thea performed the Demonic Sword Art. Then, she charged toward Sky and slashed with her sword. James, on the other hand, paid no heed to the battle. As long as Thea was there, no one could approach him. Then, he grabbed Dragonslayer. At that moment, powerful energy surged through his body. As the energy merged with Dragonslayer, there was an explosion. Thea and S
