Her breathy voice was pleasant to the ears, making one feel at ease.She stood beside Thea, and the sea breeze tousled her long hair.Maxine stretched out her slender fingers to tidy up her long chestnut-colored hair that was blown by the wind. She looked into the distance and sighed. “I hope you don’t resent me.”“I don’t resent you.”Thea was expressionless and replied very calmly.Although she did not show any emotion, her tone was very cold and sounded very distant.“Haah.”Maxine sighed.She knew Thea was angry with her.After all, her interference caused so many unexpected situations.“I didn’t expect James' love for you to be so deep. After searching a year for you and learning you were alive without your memories, he traveled this vast ocean to investigate the dragon’s whereabouts. I, too, hope that James is still alive.”“I’m a little tired. I’ll head back inside to rest.”Thea turned around and left.Maxine’s words about hoping James was alive had struck a nerve.
Thea knew these martial artists that came to the island with her had their own motives and were eyeing the dragon’s spoils.She did not want to see a fight break out.She planned to bring everyone back home safely.However, there was nothing she could do if things went beyond her ability to handle them.Thomas looked at Thea. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he felt sympathy for her.He sighed. “Thea, you’re still too naive. Putting everyone else aside, Sky and the Thunder King aren’t going to defer to you. They’re obeying your commands right now just to slay the dragon.“Once the dragon is dead, they will take action.”Hearing this, Thea went silent.Right now, she could not care less about the ancient martial world’s affairs.She only cared to ensure the soldiers on the cruise ship got to return home alive and in one piece.As for these ancient martial artists who decided to quarrel for the dragon blood, it had nothing to do with her.She did not say anything more.The boat
They entered the abyss, but it was empty.After searching around in the abyss, they could not find anyone.Meanwhile, James and Wilbur stood on a rock on a cliff, watching them search the abyss.“Thea?”James saw Thea.Seeing Thea leading the team, James was confused. He murmured, “What’s going on? Why is Thea here? Didn’t she lose her memories and cultivation base? Why did she get herself involved in this mess?”After spotting Thea, James could not himself back anymore.In a flash, he quickly jumped off the cliff and landed at the bottom of the abyss.Meanwhile, Thea was still looking around the abyss. She searched everywhere in the Dragon’s Abyss but could not find the strange, hairy man or James. Feeling anxious, she shouted, “James, where are you? Come out! Please… come to me! Sobs…”She shouted and burst into tears.“Thea.”At that moment, a voice came from behind her.Thea was stunned to hear the familiar yet unfamiliar voice.She turned around.A familiar figure wa
After Callan stepped forward to greet James, those who knew him and even those unfamiliar with him followed suit.James had displayed his terrifying strength abroad when he went to the Blood Race’s territory.Additionally, Thea had recovered her strength.These two together were invincible.No one would get away with antagonizing them.It would not hurt to greet James and get acquainted with him. If anything, it would be extremely beneficial in the future.“Grandpa.”James noticed Thomas and called out to him.“Mhm.”Thomas nodded gently and replied with a smile, “I’m glad you’re alive. Keeping yourself alive is more important than anything else.”James looked at Thea and asked, “You guys are here to slay the dragon, right?”Thea nodded and said, “Yeah, we’re here to slay the dragon. Its blood can make one immortal. Martial artists from all over the world have gathered together with this purpose in mind. This time, we’re well prepared and have high-tech weapons with us. We'l
Wilbur turned around and began leading the way.However, no one dared to follow him.James quickly said, “Let’s go. We’ll find the dragon if we follow him.”With James' reassurance, the martial artists began to follow him.Wilbur led the martial artists into the depths of the Dragon’s Abyss. It did not take long before they reached the coast near a strait.He pointed to the strait ahead and wrote in ancient script on the ground.“The dragon dwells in the strait ahead of us.”There were quite a few people present who could read ancient scripts from thousands of years ago.Seeing the words written by Wilbur, they became excited.The Thunder King said, “Since we already know the dragon’s location, what are we still waiting for? I’ll go lure the dragon out, and everyone can attack together. I’m sure this beast can’t take us all on at once.”After speaking, the Thunder King was about to rush into the strait.However, Thomas dashed in front of him and blocked his path, saying cold
As the turbulence within the water became more intense, a strong current swept toward him. Despite ascending the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Rank, he could not withstand the force and was blasted away, swirling around in the water.He quickly backed away and retreated to a safe distance.Although he was at the bottom of the sea, the water was crystal clear, and he could see everything before him.A head protruded from the massive stone cave before him.It was an enormous camel-like head with slanted horns on top.The dragon also had a long beard and large eyes that emitted a red light like a pair of lanterns.It opened its mouth and revealed two rows of sharp teeth. As it opened its mouth, a terrifying force swept across the water, causing another tempest in the sea. James quickly backed away, but the pressure crashed into him, and he felt pain wrack his body.James swung the Primordial Dragon Blade in his hand.A Sword Energy burst out.It charged forward rapidly at the dragon’s
A powerful aura emanated from the dragon. Despite standing a distance away, Thea still felt suffocated by it, as if a boulder was crushing her. It made it difficult for her to breathe.“Charge!!!”Thomas pulled out his weapon.Swoosh!As Thomas drew his sword, a dazzling Sword Light shot up into the sky.The Sword Light dispersed the clouds, and the sky was cleared instantly.“This…?”Many people looked on in awe as they noticed the sword Thomas was holding.“The Malignant Sword?”“It’s the infamous Malignant Sword!”“I never expected Thomas to have the sword.”“Is that really the Malignant Sword recorded in history?” Simon exclaimed.The Malignant Sword was a famous and highly reputable sword recorded in history.It was the sword of a wretched king of 1,800 years ago. After his death, there were no more records of it in history.Thomas pulled out the Malignant Sword and pointed it at the cyan dragon in the distance. Then, he shouted, “My fellow martial artists, do you re
The dragon was a force to be reckoned with.A single blow was enough to cause such destructive damage.Thomas was covered in a cold sweat after he dodged. If he had been struck, he would have been shredded to pieces.At that moment, Zekiel held onto the Hellfire Sword. His sword was like a ball of flame, blazing with a fiery, red Sword Light. He charged at the dragon incredibly fast and thrust the sword at the dragon's side.However, before he could get close to the dragon, it turned around, creating a huge gust. Zekiel was swept away by the strong wind and could not find his balance. He quickly circulated his True Energy and retreated.The intense battle continued to play out in the sky.None of the martial artists used their signature martial art technique and seemed to be testing the waters, hardly putting any effort into the fight.Everyone had the same idea—to preserve their strength as much as possible.They knew there would be a fierce battle after the dragon was slaught
