"What?" The two people gulped anxiously.

They still remembered what the Harmony Sect encountered. Thus, they knew they were dead meat if they went forward.

"Why are you panicking? There's no way he'll object when we hold Grace hostage!" Chester encouraged.

The two Embersteel Orders looked at the restrained Grace while looking at the motionless Dustin. After hesitating for a few seconds, they finally forced themselves to walk forward.

They were in a sticky situation right now.

If they didn't get rid of Dustin, they might lose their lives. They would never have the chance of seizing treasures anymore.

They had to take a risk no matter what.

If they could seal Dustin's meridians, he would be absolutely useless and no longer a threat to them.

"Dustin, don't worry about me. Go ahead." Grace suddenly spoke at this moment.

Naturally, she didn't wish Dustin to risk his life for her. Plus, she had many ways to get away in situations like this.

"Shut up, you bitch! If you dare to say s

    After the palm attack, Osley stood there proudly. He looked unworldly, exuding unparalleled dominance and majesty.Meanwhile, the 100 feet crater which had appeared out of thin air was just in front of him.The pit was filled with severed limbs and bloody flesh. There wasn't a single complete corpse spotted, resembling hell on earth.This was the might of Osley's single palm attack.With a single slap, a crater in the shape of a hand was created. Plus, numerous martial arts experts had been squished to death by his attack.The remaining few, despite being lucky enough to keep their lives, had been blown several feet away. They were sprawled on the ground by the force of the palm.However, they were stunned when they stood up and saw what happened.They were rendered speechless as sweat dripped down their faces when they saw the horrendous sight inside the pit.Most experts of the Harmony Sect and Embersteel Order, no matter if they were young, old, or in a high position, were k

    "Yes, miss," Osley answered. His momentum immediately subsided as he obediently retreated behind Grace.His back was arched, and he lowered his head timidly. Just like that, he became an inconspicuous servant.If they hadn't seen it with their eyes, nobody would believe that this quiet old man was a capable ultimate grandmaster."Thank you, Ms. Linsor! Thank you!" Seeing that there was a chance to live, everyone thanked her happily."Don't get too happy. Although I'm not going to kill you all, I won't let you all go either. I can spare your lives, but you still have to be punished. "Osley, go and seal their meridians and tie them up. Let the Martial Arts Union deal with them," Grace said indifferently."What? Martial Arts Union?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.Martial Arts Union was Dragonmarsh's official institution. They managed martial artists, major martial alliances, and all of the sects. Thus, all of them had to obey their directives.Anyone involved in major cr

    "Me?" Sophia was stunned when Dustin pointed at her. She asked instinctively, "Why?"The discussion earlier went well, she had no idea why things turned sour abruptly."Because I really hate people who repay goodwill with ill will. That's my reason. Happy?" Dustin replied coldly. He had never liked Sophia's behavior. However, her behavior hadn't affected him before, as such he was able to let it slide. However, it was different now.If Sophia hadn't caused subversion, they wouldn't be in this mess today. If they were any weaker, they might have been murdered for profit. Hence, he was unable to forgive Sophia for what she'd done."Dustin, please listen to my explanation. This wasn't my fault, I had no other options!" Sophia was flustered and appeared pitiful."Not your fault? You had no other options? There are only a handful of people who know that we have treasure with us. "If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Who could work with Harmony Sect and Embersteel Order simultane

    In the morning, Dustin heard a loud knock on his door as soon as he woke up. When he opened the door, he saw Grace standing outside with breakfast in her hands. She bought milk, bagels, sausage, scrambled eggs, and a lot of other things."Have some breakfast. I have to talk to you." Grace smiled slightly as she put the breakfast set on the table and sat on a chair."Thanks." Dustin didn't shy away. He started wolfing down as soon as he sat down next to her. Even though it was a normal breakfast, everything tasted surprisingly good."What do you want to tell me? I'm listening," Dustin asked as he munched on the bagel."I got some news this morning. In a nutshell, there are three pieces of important news." Grace stood up and made two cups of coffee. One for herself and another for Dustin. She then continued, "First, there's been a series of strange phenomena at the Sacred Wrym Summit for the past few days. According to my informants, it could be due to Dracan essence!""Really?"

    "When are we leaving?" Dustin asked."I'll arrange for two people to go with you to the Sacred Wrym Summit to find out more. I have to go back to Oakvale to protect the Spirit Core and to take care of some personal affairs. "But, you don't have to worry, I'll meet you there before the Sacred Wrym Summit Combat Tournament," Grace replied."Alright, it's been decided then!" Dustin nodded in agreement. He'd been wanting to visit the Sacred Wrym Summit, but he didn't have the chance. He could finally visit the place thanks to the Combat Tournament."Laurel, Willow." Grace turned to the door and called out loudly. Very soon, two female guards dressed in racy dresses walked in with a cool demeanor.Dustin realized that they were twins when he observed them carefully. They were about 20 years old and they were tall and pretty. Their martial arts skills had also reached the latter stage of divine level. They'd be among the best if they were associated with any martial arts sects."Bot

    Laurel's and Willow's eyes lit up when the handsome young man appeared. Even though they had gone through professional training and wouldn't be seduced easily, they had to admit that this young man standing before them was too handsome. He was so good-looking that they were ashamed of themselves. If he was a woman, he'd rank among the top few in the Beauty Ranking."Who are you?" Dustin asked coldly after a quick observation. The Sacred Wrym Summit was different from other places. Here, there were many hidden talents and skilled martial artists. They had to be very careful whenever they were approached by strangers."I'm Dalen Shade from Arque Stream. I came here to join in the fun because I heard about the Combat Tournament happening at the Sacred Wrym Summit." Dalen flashed an irresistible smile. Most of the customers, irrespective of their genders, dining at the tables around them turned around to look at them.Dalen was extremely gorgeous, and so were Dustin, Laurel, and

    When the quintet appeared, many experienced elites retreated in fear. Although the remaining elites didn't flee in panic, they wore expressions of astonishment."Isn't that the Shadow Citadel's Evil Quintet? Why are they here?""What? The Evil Quintet? Are those the guys who enjoy feasting on human flesh?""Damn it! I really should've checked my horoscope before leaving today. Why did I run into these troublemakers?"An uneasy hush spread through the crowd, unsure about what was happening.The Evil Quintet of the Shadow Citadel had a notorious reputation. Many stories spread about these five people, calling them ruthless and severing other's limbs at the slightest provocation.What made them even more disturbing was their unusual taste. They supposedly enjoyed eating human flesh as a delicacy. Just these rumors alone were enough to send shivers down the spines of various factions in the martial world.The Evil Quintet wasn't just brutal. They were also powerful, and each membe

    "Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Aether? Cool names." Dustin casually complimented. He never expected Dalen, with his status, to be the Evil Quintet's senior member."You're giving me too much credit. I thought of these names on the spot," Dalen said with a slight smile. With his fair and delicate face, he looked quite charming."Hey! Why are you sitting at Dalen's table? Who do you think you are?" Pyro asked aggressively and slammed the table.He hated men who looked more handsome than him, especially ones like Dustin. The longer he stared at Dustin, the more annoyed Pyro became. He even wished he could disfigure Dustin."Talking to me?" Dustin asked, pointing at himself."Who else? Anyone else around?" Pyro sneered, lifting his chin arrogantly."You're Pyro, right? Did you just eat something nasty? Your breath is awful. Can you please freshen up? You're grossing everyone out." Dustin waved his hand in front of his nose, looking disgusted.Zephyras burst into laughter upon hearing

    Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

    The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

    After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

    When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

    Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

    As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

    After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

    "How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

    Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
