"He faked his death? Is that even possible?" Reagan raised an eyebrow."I wouldn't have believed it either if I didn't see it myself."Julius shook his head and sighed. "All in all, we're still lacking compared to Rufus. That's why he managed to fool us. "Now that my subordinates are all under his control, it's impossible to turn the tables. Thus, I came to you for help."After thinking for a moment, Reagan replied, "Give me some time to think it through. You're saying that our mission failed and that Rufus didn't die. "Plus, all your troops have been captured, leaving you with no way out.""You're correct. That's about what happened." Julius nodded."Honestly, I'm a bit curious. If the mission failed and all your men were captured, how did you manage to get away?" Reagan asked."To be honest, I pretended to surrender just to get away," Julius replied."Pretended to surrender? What do you mean?" Reagan's curiosity was piqued."I hope you won't mind if I say this."After re

At that moment, a Dragon Guard's spy suddenly walked over."What's the matter?" Reagan asked indifferently."Sir Judd, we found two spies that should be from West Lucozia outside. May I know how we should take care of them?" the Dragon Guard spy asked."Spy?" Reagan raised an eyebrow.After shooting a meaningful look at Julius, Reagan replied, "Bring them over. I want to question them!""Yes, sir!" The Dragon Guard spy nodded before gesturing to those standing outside.Soon, two tied-up men in black clothes were brought over.Just as the adhesive tapes were ripped off from their mouths, one of them started to yell, "You traitor! How dare you betray us! I hope that you'll die miserably!""Slap him," Reagan spoke calmly."Yes, sir!" The dragon guard spy walked over and slapped the man in black on both cheeks.The blows caused blood to spill from the man's mouth and nose. He was left dizzy and missing several teeth before the beating ceased."I'll ask, and you guys answer. If y

"Sir Judd, it's true that they're spies. However, I truly don't know anything about this. "I've told you everything that happened these two days. May lightning strike me if I hid anything from you," Julius promised.Reagan chuckled at his response. "Don't be so anxious. I'm just joking." Reagan patted his shoulder and smiled. "Of course, I believe you. The two spies should be under Rufus. He had them secretly follow you as he feared you would run away.""Rufus is a cunning man that could do anything. It's normal for him to have such a plan. It's fortunate that you arranged everything properly and managed to find out the spy in time. "Otherwise, the location of the base would have been revealed," Julius said in relief."We still don't know how much information did they get. However, West Lucozian monarchy should have already gotten the base's location," Reagan replied calmly."They already know? What should we do? Should we retreat?" Julius raised his eyebrow.With a smile,

At Reagan's order, the subordinates quickly served the alcohol and food.Just like that, Reagan and Julius started to indulge in the food and wine.…At that moment, Dustin and Austin sat in the villager's house located beyond the mountain ranges. They sipped on coffee as they waited for news.Ever since Julius had been taken away, they had been secretly following him. At last, they arrived at a place called Bronx Mountain Range.Bronx Mountain Range was vast and boundless, not to mention it was situated at the border.Half of its territory belonged to West Lucozia, while the other half was under the control of an enemy nation.The two countries remained at peace in recent years. There wasn't any obvious conflict other than some disputes from the countries' spies.Due to Bronx Mountain Range's unique geographical location, no one would go there except for a few farmers and hunters who relied on the mountains for their livelihoods."Dustin, it's been the entire night. The signa

It was midnight in West Lucozia castle. Rufus sat on the edge of the bed and coughed violently. His body trembled from how hard he coughed.Blood would dribble on the floor with his every cough."Your Highness, the medicine is here!" After hearing Rufus coughing, Eloise quickly rushed into the room with the medicine in hand.Eloise placed the medicine down and gently patted Rufus' back. Her eyes were filled with worry and distress.After Rufus finally stopped coughing, the floor had a pool of blood.His complexion was as pale as a sheet. Plus, there were beads of sweat on his forehead."Your Highness, you should quickly drink the medicine." Eloise picked up the medicine and handed it to him with both hands."It's too bitter. I feel nauseous just smelling it." Rufus furrowed his eyebrows, seemingly unwilling to drink the medicine."It's good for you. You should drink it," Eloise advised gently."I'm going to die soon, anyway. It doesn't make a difference if I drink it or not.

Rufus smiled indifferently. "We poisoned Julius. If he wants to live, he needs to listen to us.""What if he has a way to treat the poison?" Eloise asked.Rufus shook his head and smiled. "It doesn't matter if he can neutralize the poison. Julius is a smart person. He knows that working with Reagan is like partnering with a lion. "Julius could act confidently before as he had some influence. However, he has absolutely nothing now. He's not on equal footing with Reagan at all. Once Julius loses his value, Reagan will not spare him. "We're different, though. Julius is from the Rhys family and is a blood relative to me. I can still spare his life even if he betrayed us. "If he performs well and manages to redeem himself through his mission, we can offer him a life of prosperity. What do you think he would choose?""Your Highness, you're right. However, it's difficult to tell what he is thinking. What if Julius refuses the opportunity and insists on going down the wrong path? What

Dustin smiled and replied, "Austin, it seems like you've learned a lot in the army these past few years. "You're right. We can't barge into the base so recklessly. At least, we need to find out what's inside. "The castle's spies can't continue any further. There are way too many capable people in Dragon Guard. Thus, I decided to go investigate by myself."Austin was a bit worried. "Isn't this too dangerous? You need to remember that you're the future king of West Lucozia. "Let me go instead. I'm also a grandmaster martial artist. I can get away in time even if I encounter a dangerous situation."Dustin rejected, "No way! Although you're capable, you can't confront those top martial artists in Dragon Guard on your own. If Reagan finds you, you won't even have the chance to run away.""But—" Just as Austin was about to say something else, he was cut off by Dustin raising his hand."No 'buts.' I'm the one in command for this mission. Thus, I order you to stay here and wait for m

"What happened? Why did you freak out?"The soldier's other companion was completely bewildered. He had no clue what was going on at all."I seemed to have heard something just now. Perhaps someone managed to get in!" The soldier scanned his surroundings alertly, trying to get some clue."I'm sure you heard it wrongly. Our base has such tight security, with multiple checkpoints and both hidden and patrolling guards. "There's no way someone can sneak inside. Don't joke around." The soldier's companion dismissed his idea.The security was tight outside the wall. There was also a 24-hour patrol inside the base.A fly probably wouldn't be able to enter, not to mention a person.Besides, it was located in the middle of nowhere. Only Dragon Guard members were able to find their way here."It's better to be safe than sorry. I'll go look around. You should stay alert."The soldier didn't let his guard down. Instead, he began to circle the armory and carefully inspect it. However, h

Willem was so fast that, even to a grandmaster, it would appear as though he had teleported, leaving no time to react.Bailey had already drawn Arion's full attention, making Willem's sudden attack almost impossible to counter.When everyone thought his attack was about to succeed, a red divine talisman suddenly shot out and stuck to his forehead just as his fangs were mere inches from Arion's neck.The talisman exploded, releasing a surge of violent energy that blasted Willem over ten yards away. Before he hit the ground, a blazing fireball instantly engulfed him.He screamed as he turned into a human torch. The fire burned fiercely, scorching his flesh and charring his body.The flames clung to him like a curse and were impossible to put out. His blood energy crackled and hissed as the fire burned, and thick black smoke rose from his body.The sight shocked everyone.Just moments ago, Willem had almost succeeded in his ambush, but Arion had been prepared. With a single talisma

Thousands of golden whips lashed out with the force of a storm, and it was impossible to dodge.The group led by Bailey launched their attacks to block and continually struck the golden whips. With each collision, energy erupted, followed by loud booming sounds.Arion stood firm like a mountain. His body was enveloped in golden light as he swung his whips. Even though he was outnumbered, he still held the advantage.Bailey and the others couldn't break through at all. A few slightly weaker gods from the Hall of Gods were forced to retreat with each lash and struggled to withstand the onslaught.At that moment, everyone finally realized the terrifying power of Dragonmarsh's strongest martial artist. Even the attacks evolved from the Glow Incantation were enough to throw them off balance."I don't believe these things can stop me!"Bailey roared as his body began to change. His already large frame grew even bulkier, like a small mountain. His shirt tore as his muscles expanded, and

The sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise. No one had expected Arion to strike so suddenly; he was so fast that they couldn't even see his movement.Even Willem, renowned for his speed, couldn't react in time. One slap had sent him flying—simple, brutal, and unstoppable.At that moment, they finally realized that the seemingly harmless Arion was much more formidable than they had imagined.Willem staggered to his feet and reached up to straighten his twisted neck. His collapsed cheek began to heal at a visible rate. Fortunately for him, vampires possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities. Without it, the slap would have crippled him."You're strong for an old geezer, but it'll take more than that to finish me off," Willem hissed through clenched teeth. The bloodthirst in his eyes was unmistakable as he glared at Arion. If he could drain Arion's blood, his strength would surge to unimaginable heights."Oh? This is interesting." Arion raised an eyebrow with a faint smi

The battle between the Hall of Gods and Sacred Wrym Summit raged with unrelenting intensity. The Hall of Gods had made meticulous preparations for this invasion. Besides recruiting powerful martial artists from around the world, they also distributed valuable enhanced serums to everyone. To counter Sacred Wrym Summit's Stormcraft technique, they developed a special combat suit capable of resisting such attacks. Generally, a divine martial artist struck by Stormcraft would instantly lose their combat ability, but this special suit reduced the effectiveness of the attack by half. Even if struck, they could recover after a brief moment to continue fighting. The defensive capabilities of this gear were nearly flawless.In addition, their greatest strength was the sheer weight of their numbers. They had at least ten thousand people, including hired outlaws, under their command. During the siege, they were densely packed like a swarm of bees.In contrast, Sacred Wrym Summit had only

Willard's ultimate move cleared the battlefield in an instant. The martial artists who had rushed forward were either dead or critically wounded, with no ability to defend themselves."This… How is this possible?" Hank's eyes widened in terror as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.Under the restriction of the sealing formation, even ultimate grandmasters couldn't unleash their full strength. But Willard, with nothing more than a flask of liquor, had managed to tap into a supreme divine power far beyond his cultivation level.Though he was only at the grandmaster level, his move, Infinite Spirit Manifestation, carried the might of an ultimate grandmaster. If he were to use it again, the outcome would be grim for everyone, including himself."Retract!" Willard took a deep breath and the thousands of illusory images that had surged forth earlier instantly retracted into his body. His face turned red and pale as his breath grew heavy and ragged.The toll of using Infinite Spirit Manif

"Take a guess." Willard didn't answer. Instead, he took another sip from his flask.His cultivation had been sealed, but his strength came from the wine in his hand. The wine was refined with valuable herbs and contained dense spiritual energy, which he could absorb and convert into combat power.In short, every sip made him stronger. Even with his cultivation sealed, he could still execute powerful techniques."It's the wine, isn't it?" Garrett's gaze landed on the flask, and a quick realization set in. Willard drank before and after every attack, which hinted at something suspicious."Bingo. But no prize for you." Willard smirked and launched forward with a palm strike aimed at Garrett. Though his strength wasn't at its peak, the attack remained a deadly threat to the already injured Garrett."Mr. Styles, save me." Garrett knew he had no chance of blocking it and cried for help."Go to hell, traitor!" Hank saw the internal commotion unfold and threw a powerful punch at Willard

With a longsword in hand, Dustin plunged into the crowd like a tiger among sheep and cut down his enemies with brutal efficiency.Though he couldn't tap into his mystical energy, his physical strength far outstripped that of an average martial artist. His speed, power, reflexes, and combat skills crushed anyone in his path.Every swing of his blade was precise and targeted the enemy's vital spots with deadly accuracy, which left no room for defense.Under his relentless assault, the assassins were helpless. The air rang with their screams as bodies fell one after another.Unlike the tournament match, Dustin now unleashed his full power in this life-or-death fight. His attacks were becoming more brutal and relentless than ever."This kid's tougher than I thought." Hank frowned as he watched his men struggle.He hadn't expected Dustin to have such formidable combat prowess, even with his sealed cultivation. If an unmatched genius like Dustin couldn't be made an ally, he had to be e

"Step forward, and you're dead!" Facing the onslaught of desperate assassins, Dustin showed no mercy. With a swing of his long sword, a dazzling sword aura swept through the darkness like a crescent moon and briefly illuminated the night sky. The assassins only saw a flash of white light and instinctively stopped in their tracks. When the brilliance faded, those at the front stood frozen as if struck by a paralysis spell.A moment later, heads tumbled to the ground, like ripe fruit falling from a tree. The headless bodies stood upright for two seconds before collapsing, blood splattering everywhere.The gruesome sight shocked everyone. They exchanged uneasy glances and were hesitant to move forward. No one had anticipated Dustin's sword to be so fast that the fallen couldn't even defend themselves.The assassins who had just been killed were among the elites. Yet, none of them could block even a single strike. The difference in strength was clear."What are you standing aroun

The people who emerged from the fog wore masks that hid their faces, but each had the Hall of Gods emblem on their bodies. Among them was a small group led by Dustin.After sensing a battle nearby, Dustin had deliberately left his team behind to investigate alone. He hadn't expected another group to lead them out of the fog formation."What's going on? Why are there so many bodies scattered around?" "Looks like they ran into a strong enemy. Stay sharp, everyone!" The sight of scattered corpses put everyone on edge. Their eyes darted between Dustin and Aven."Dustin, what are you doing here alone?" The leader of the group recognized him immediately.The Hall of Gods had recruited several teams, each marked by different colored masks, with team leaders wearing a distinctive emblem."Hank?" Dustin narrowed his eyes as he recognized the voice. "What happened here?" Hank asked tentatively."I don't know. I just stepped out of the fog formation." Dustin shook his head."Really?"
