“I’ve found you!"Adrian heard the sound of human activity nearby. He had been observing Elio for some time now. Since both of them were at the initial stage of level eight, Adrian, although aware that Elio couldn't kill him, was still very cautious and observed Elio carefully to prevent any accidents. He even investigated Elio's walking habits and mannerisms.On the other side, Elio naturally sensed human activity nearby too. He knew for sure it wasn't his companions. The previous twenty people each had their own designated area within a one-kilometer radius to search for Adrian. This was fixed, so when human activity was detected nearby, it was clear that Adrian had appeared."You've been waiting for me!" Elio sneered.When Adrian walked out of the rainforest with Lyra, Elio also appeared in a clearing ahead. He squinted, staring at Adrian and Lyra with murderous intent.Adrian smiled. He was very familiar with this kind of gaze. It was the look of a beast staring at a human. Ad
Both sides seemed prepared to perish together. Since they had reached this level, their understanding of fighting was beyond comparison to ordinary people. Whether it was Adrian or Elio, both knew that there was a subtle gap in their abilities. This gap was reflected in various details, such as speed and slight differences in strength. Despite being at the same rank, their strengths were not identical.However, Elio was confident in himself. He believed that he could kill Adrian even in his current state. As for Adrian, there was no suspense in this matter. During the earlier confrontation, he had already judged his opponent's strength. Since he already knew the opponent's strength, this life-and-death battle was a certain victory for him because he had already calculated the outcome. Whether in strength or speed, he had the upper hand.Elio didn't know this, and neither did Lyra.Lyra, who was watching from the sidelines, had her eyes wide open. Various expressions crossed her face
However, when he turned his head to look at Adrian, he found that the latter's expression was unusually calm as if he had already anticipated the current situation.Elio was shocked. He had just wanted to threaten Adrian not to kill him, but the Divine Frost Slayer Blade was already resting on his neck."You are too bold!" Frederick struck out angrily and slapped Adrian away. And the direction in which Adrian flew was exactly where Lyra was hiding.As Adrian landed heavily on the ground, Lyra rushed toward him. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the barely breathing Adrian and angrily rebuked Frederick, "It was Elio who wanted to kill Adrian all along, so he had no choice but to take action!"At this moment, several more people were coming from various directions. As members of Blade's Reach, when they saw the mutilated corpse lying on the ground, their expressions turned dark.Frederick's expression was particularly grim. Although Elio had a bad temper, he was still the
‘For now, I have to be obedient.’ Adrian smirked.Frederick and the others, who had already finished handling Elio's burial, saw that Adrian had regained consciousness. They walked over with serious expressions, and someone whispered to Frederick, "This guy is extremely dangerous. Why don't we just kill him?"Although Frederick harbored the same thoughts, when he recalled what the chief had said to him before, he knew that Adrian would play a crucial role in finding those outsiders who stole the Lunar Edge. With a grim expression, he shook his head.Kill Adrian? Yes, but not right now.However, Frederick was worried. Adrian was too good at acting. He seemed perfectly normal on the surface, but when it came to killing, he showed no mercy. Having such a person around was truly dangerous. Although the Lunar Edge was important, his own life was equally valuable."Don't provoke him for now, but if he shows any signs of rebellion, then kill him," Frederick solemnly instructed the people
If she didn't know that she couldn't beat the person before her, she would have attacked already, Unfortunately, reality was cruel."I understand," Lyra said in a low voice."Hmph! Let's go!"Before they could find the one who stole the Lunar Edge, Elio was unexpectedly killed by one of their own. Frederick was upset, and he even thought about whether to give up this search operation. However, when he thought of the importance of the Lunar Edge to their village, which was incomparable to ten Elios, he had to calm down and lead the team forward.As Adrian was injured again, Lyra had to carry him on her back. It took a full half hour before he woke up. After waking up, he quickly used his Vital Energy to repair his body. But this time, he made himself look even weaker as if he was about to die soon."Are you okay?" Lyra whispered."Sorry for troubling you," Adrian whispered back.The reason he said what he said earlier was to provoke Frederick. He knew that the other party would d
The person bitten by the poisonous snake, although an expert at the phenomena stage, quickly turned into a pus-like mess after being bitten and wrapped around the neck by the snake. The incident happened too suddenly. Other than Adrian and Lyra at the end of the team, no one else had time to react. When they turned and saw the snake and the corpse on the ground, everyone's expression became one of panic."Mr. Frederick!" someone exclaimed in shock. The black snake on the ground, after killing one person, tried to flee the scene. But Frederick, who heard the commotion from behind, quickly turned around. Seeing another person dead, his expression changed drastically, and he was filled with anger.Although the snake on the ground was terrifying in terms of speed and venom, it was still far inferior to Frederick's sword. The weapon chopped it up and crushed it into a pile of flesh."Check on Tiago!" Frederick directed the person beside him.The person looked reluctant. Tiago Christia
Lyra carried Adrian on her back, observing the situation too. Since she needed to take care of Adrian while he pretended to be weak, she felt that now was not the right time for them to escape.They did not provide the group with any assistance. After around ten minutes, the ground was littered with the corpses of hundreds of black snakes. Frederick guided the group in a fighting strategy, eventually managing to exit the black snakes’ attack range.At this point, only fifteen people remained in the group. The expressions of sorrow on their faces grew more prominent. Strange incidents had become more common around their village recently. When they entered Cloud Puff Mountain in the past, they would not encounter danger as long as they stayed out of the secret realm.However, things were entirely different now. The surroundings of Cloud Puff Mountain were now filled with all sorts of dangers, leaving them bewildered about the sudden shift in the situation."We finally made it out.” S
The people of Blade's Reach had harbored resentment toward Adrian for a long time but had refrained from taking action against him because Frederick prevented it. Now that Adrian was provoking them openly, they believed that Frederick would not object to them killing him. "It seems like you truly have a death wish," one of them said.Seeing Adrian walking toward them with Lyra, one of them shouted, "I will avenge Elio!" This man was Jack, a close friend of Elio’s. He had been waiting for a chance to avenge his friend. Now that it was presented to him, he wasn’t about to let it slip away.The Blade's Reach villagers were all armed with swords.Jack charged at Adrian. The others watched in silence. They knew that Adrian had sustained injuries from Frederick and believed they could easily subdue him.Watching Jack rushing toward him, Adrian chuckled coldly and drew the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. A loud clash of metal echoed, followed by a dazzling flash of light. Adrian swiftly mo
