"The target is in sight. Get ready!" Austin was on high alert when he saw the group of Dragon Guard members. He even withdrew his sword a little from its scabbard.

"Calm down. Give them another minute. We have to wait till they get into the area surrounded by us." Dustin reached out and patted Austin's shoulders lightly.

He had cast two spells a few hundred yards before their hiding spot. As soon as the group of Dragon Guard members walked into the area, they'd be trapped.

The first spell was the Disorientation Spell, and it covered the widest area. This spell had a dumbfounding and dizzying effect.

The second spell was the Octennial Array. This spell had two sides to it. The first side could be used to attack the opponent, whereas the flip side could defend.

It could attack and defend simultaneously, making it a very adaptable spell.

Dustin had chosen to use this spell to attack. He had arranged for eight very skilled fighters to be situated in every direction of this octagon

    The problem was that the group of Dragon Guard members were moving in a straight line. They didn't make any turns, nor did they move backward. As such, the only plausible explanation was that they had been trapped. They had been walking around in circles and were unable to leave."I know! This is the Disorientation Spell!" The man in gray had a thought and said suddenly. "It was said that people under this spell would feel dizzy and disorientated at the beginning. As time goes by, their abilities will deteriorate greatly. If they remain under the spell, they will eventually die!""Disorientation Spell? I thought that this mystical spell had been lost as time passed. There's someone who actually knows how to cast this spell! "It looks like the person behind this is not easy to deal with!" The red-robed elder looked serious."Elder Reed, what should we do now?" The man in black asked."We have to find a way to break the spell, of course! If not, we'd all die in this trap." The

    The Octennial Array was quickly activated under Dustin's order. A white light shone from each side of the octagonal formation at the edge of the foggy area. The white lights soared skyward, eventually converging high above. Then, it descended into a vast curtain of light, enveloping the entire foggy area. The light curtain was translucent. When viewed from the outside, it looked like a giant eggshell.At this moment, within the spell's area, the Dragon Guard members could feel the ground beneath them rumbling as they ran. The hard ground suddenly became soft, like a mud pool. Besides that, there seemed to be a strong suction force coming from underground. They felt like they were being sucked into the mud pool with every step they took."What's going on? Why is the ground so soft?" The sudden change threw everyone in the Dragon Guard members off guard. Even though they were skilled martial artists, they had never been in a situation like this. Regardless of where they stepp

    The red flare left a long, bright trail as it shot skyward. However, the translucent ceiling of the Octennial Array lit up for a while, and the red flare stopped halfway.The red flare exploded loudly. The fiery explosion was absorbed by the translucent ceiling and left no trails. The Dragon Guard members could only see a flashing red light before it completely disappeared. Other than the explosion, everything else remained the same."We can't even send a distress signal! It looks like we're completely trapped in this spell," The red-robed elder said with a frown. He couldn't find the spell's breaking point even with his eye technique in this situation. That was enough to prove that this spell was more bizarre and advanced than the Disorientation Spell, especially when both spells were used together. They complemented and enhanced each other's efficiency."Oh no! An ambush from the enemy!" Just as the red-robed elder was thinking of ways to break the spell, he heard a shri

    "Damn! What the heck are these things? Why are there so many of them?""I can't kill them all! It's like a relentless wave, one after another.""We have to find a way out. If we continue like this, we'll exhaust ourselves and die here!""The fog is everywhere. I can't even see which way to go, and these shadows just keep coming. How can we find a way out?"Chaos engulfed the Dragon Guard members, transitioning from disdain to shock and fear. Ultimately, it descended into despair. The issue wasn't their incapacity to defeat the shadows but the absence of hope for survival. With each shadow they vanquished, two more emerged, steadily increasing in numbers. As their comrades fell in each assault, the attrition pushed them closer to total annihilation. To them, escape seemed impossible."Elder Reed, the situation is worsening. What should we do now?" The black-clad man, fending off enemies, sought assistance from the red-robed elder beside him.The black-clad man had to fend of

    "It's still uncertain," Dustin replied with a serious expression. He added, "There are only two potential scenarios in this situation. First, Julius might not have earned the Dragon Guard's trust. Alternatively, Reagan could have sent this team to test Julius.""And the second?" Austin asked."The second possibility is that Julius betrayed us. It could be a trap orchestrated by the Dragon Guard, using a decoy team to draw us out and setting up a full-scale ambush," Dustin replied.He solemnly added, " Julius is the only one at risk in the first scenario. As for the second scenario, we might have walked into an enemy trap."Austin quickly analyzed the situation and ordered, "Stay alert, everyone!"The castle's elite forces promptly scattered, staying on high alert.At that moment, laughter resonated through the sky, causing a disturbance that sent countless birds into flight. "It's too late to be on guard now!"Shortly afterward, a formidable force of soldiers and horses emer

    The elite warriors of the castle clashed fiercely with the numerically superior Dragon Guard, escalating the battle into a brutal confrontation. Austin led the castle forces, while Cinna commanded the Dragon Guard.In the midst of the chaotic battle, Dustin and Reagan faced each other in a standoff. They cautiously observed without taking immediate action.The ongoing combat hindered Dustin from strategically deploying formations. Both the fog formation and octagram array attacked indiscriminately. The earlier planted bombs appeared useless unless the situation reached a critical juncture where mutual destruction became the only choice.After a brief observation, Dustin issued a decisive command, "Austin, the ambush plan failed. Retreat with your men now!" As he gauged the situation, he observed that the castle's elite warriors, though brave and individually skilled, faced a roadblock in advancing further. Despite each warrior's capacity to handle three to five opponents, ac

    "My strength may not measure up to Uncle Seth's, but it's still more than enough to take you on!" Dustin asserted."Take me on? Do you really have what it takes?" Reagan sneered.According to the information Reagan acquired, Dustin had recently attained the status of an ultimate grandmaster, mastering some unique techniques. However, Dustin was currently at the mid-stage of ultimate grandmaster, whereas Reagan was approaching completion. The gap between them was almost two levels, resembling a significant divide. This posed a considerable challenge for Dustin to overcome, even with his exceptional talent."You'll see soon if I've got what it takes," Dustin replied. He lifted his sword, and the Celestial Blade smoothly slid out from its sheath on his back, firmly held in his grasp."Fine! If you're that confident, I'll let you challenge me today!" Reagan waved his hand, conjuring a fiery-red spear into existence—the Inferno Fury Spear. It was ranked third on the Divine Weapon

    "I'll have to admit that you've got the skills," Reagan remarked, wielding his spear with an imposing presence.He continued, "Not many can block my 'Desert Mirage,' and it seems you're one of the few. With time, you might even surpass me."In the previous strike, Reagan put in at least 50% of his strength. He sensed that Dustin had only slightly lagged after displaying his power in the direct confrontation earlier. However, Reagan felt that Dustin still had a long way to go to catch up."I expected someone holding the fifth rank on the Astonishing World List to be more impressive. Guess I overestimated you," Dustin commented, a tinge of disappointment evident in his expression."What did you just say?" Reagan shot him a cold glare. He couldn't fathom how Dustin would dare to underestimate him."What? Did you not catch that? Allow me to repeat." Dustin raised his voice. "Your strength is pathetic, way weaker than I anticipated!"Upon hearing this, Reagan instantly boiled with a

    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?"

    Though Marcell was momentarily stunned, he still explained patiently, "This man is the guardian of the Forbidden Ground. If we kill him, we'll be able to take the treasure." He was gravely wounded and had to rely on Dustin to deal with Aven, so he needed to be persuasive."We can talk about the treasure later. Right now, it's time to settle some old scores." Dustin stretched out his hand, and the long sword on the ground shot up into his grasp."Settle old scores? What are you talking about?" Marcell blinked in confusion, especially when he saw the sword in Dustin's hand. A feeling of unease spread through him."You and that big guy planned to use me as bait. Then, you sent me into the fog to clear the way for you," Dustin said flatly. "Did you really think I didn't hear that? Since you want to harm me, don't blame me for being ruthless.""What… What are you going to do?" Marcell panicked. "We're both working for the Hall of Gods. There's no need for this kind of betrayal.
