Jaxton's entrance drew a lot of attention.The Esoteric Sword Guild was highly mysterious in the martial world. Though they had only a handful of members, each was exceptionally talented. Their Sword Mastery Technique was so powerful that even the Sword Union had been envious. Consequently, every time Jaxton stepped into the battle ring, he became the center of attention. Everyone was intrigued by the Esoteric Sword Guild background and the renowned Sword Mastery Technique.Despite advancing to the top 16, he hadn't showcased the technique. Perhaps none of his previous opponents had been able to force him to use it. But the stakes were different now.Jaxton would be going against Fenley from the Celestial Alliance, ranked fifth on the Legendary List. With such a strong opponent, he would need to use his Sword Mastery Technique.At that moment, the two stood on the ring and saluted each other."I'm Fenley Hudson from Celestial Alliance," Fenley introduced himself with a brief s
"It's rare to see a fight like this. No swordplay, no divine powers, just pure fistfighting.""Now, this is what I call action. A real man goes all in, throwing punch after punch.""If they're going at it this hard just in the warm-up, imagine how intense it will get if the fight gets serious."The spectators buzzed with excitement as they watched the fierce battle in the battle ring. They had anticipated a clash of sword techniques and divine powers. Instead, they were witnessing an intense, all-out fistfight.Jaxton had set aside his sword to engage with his fists, while Fenley had put his divine powers aside for a straightforward brawl. It looked like the match was determined to settle things through pure skill in hand-to-hand combat.Fenley and Jaxton continued their fierce exchange of punches in the battle ring.Jaxton's attacks grew more aggressive as his internal energy surged with each strike. Each punch carried the force to split mountains. Soon, his breathing became hea
"Is this the Sword Mastery Technique? It really lives up to its name.""One strike knocked Fenley back and turned the tide. That's amazing.""That sword moved so fast, but I only saw a flash of white light. It was terrifying!"When Jaxton unleashed his Sword Mastery Technique, the spectators were stunned. Even though they had heard about it before, this was their first time seeing it in action. The technique's sheer dominance and fierce momentum had struck them deep in their souls. It was said that "One sword strike could be deadly".With such formidable techniques and divine power, ordinary people wouldn't stand a chance and could be defeated in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Fenley was strong enough to endure the attack. Otherwise, that single sword strike might have been sufficient to kill him and decide the outcome.Fenley exhaled sharply, and his gaze turned serious. "I have to admit. Your Sword Mastery Technique is indeed a powerful divine ability. However, it's not e
The wind blades formed a net, which carried immense force as they hammered relentlessly against the three flying swords. Each impact resounded with explosive sounds.Though the sharp swords sliced through the blades, their momentum began to slow, and their speed dropped. But the wind blades seemed endless as they flooded the sky in waves. Some continued to hammer at the three swords, while others charged straight at Jaxton."Hmm?" Jaxton's expression changed slightly. He couldn't afford to take it head-on, so he waved his fingers three times and shouted, "Return!"The three flying swords turned in midair and raced back to his side. They spun rapidly and unleashed a fierce wave of sword aura that kept the incoming wind blades at bay.The clash between wind blades and sword aura created shockwaves and explosions, like a constant barrage of fireworks.Jaxton gritted his teeth and pointed his sword forward to fend off the relentless wind blades. Ten seconds later, the onslaught fin
"Fenley, congratulations for making it to the top eight. You're just one step away from winning the tournament," Aurora said with a bright smile as Fenley returned to his seat."While the Sword Mastery Technique is impressive, Fenley's Four Elements of God's Technique is far superior. Jaxton might have lost, but he still deserves respect." Alicia's face beamed with pride.Initially, Alicia was worried when she saw Jaxton's remarkable Sword Mastery Technique. But her worries vanished once Fenley unleashed his Four Elements of God's Technique. She knew the result of the match had already been decided."Defeating Jaxton was easy, but winning the tournament is still a long way to go." Fenley smiled and shook his head.He was confident but not blind to the challenges ahead. Jaxton wasn't one of the top names on the Legendary List. Though skilled, he wasn't in the same league as the top contestants."Let's take it one step at a time," Aurora said with a smile. "If Glenn and Abigail end
The spectators fell silent as Levi's body collapsed on the ground. Shock and disbelief were written on every face, and they didn't expect the match to end so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the winner had been decided."I didn't imagine that, right? Levi, the Boulderthorn branch master, was killed in seconds?""With just a finger in the air, Levi was killed. Glenn didn't even draw his sword. His strength is terrifying.""So, is that the strength of the Legendary List's top rank? It's downright terrifying."After a brief silence, the venue erupted in shock and chatter.When Levi stepped onto the battle ring with his spear, everyone had expected a long, hard-fought match. After all, he was a renowned figure in the martial world and recognized as a master no matter where he went.Even if Levi couldn't match Glenn's skill, he should have lasted a few rounds at least. But what happened? Throughout the whole bout, Glenn had only made one move. Before everyone could even process what
George's brutal treatment of Jermaine's body had already stirred up a lot of anger. As he stepped into the battle ring again, the spectators booed and cursed at him."Ugh! Just seeing this bastard makes me sick. I want to kill him.""Disgusting heartless scum!""He got away with it last time, but now he's facing the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order. Let's see how he dies."The spectators were furious as they shouted and cursed at George, but he didn't care. His eyes were locked on Abigail, and his lips curled into a wicked grin. He couldn't hide the lust in his gaze. "Tsk, tsk… Hey, gorgeous. Fighting is a man's job. As a woman, your duty is to bear children." His eyes roamed over her as he grinned wider. "Unfortunately, Dragonmarsh martial artists are weaklings. They don't have what it takes to satisfy someone like you. But I can guarantee you'll experience pure pleasure with me," he said and laughed heartily.His words were like a spark that ignited a wildfire, causing
George grimaced in pain and flung the snake-like creature away. But the creature wouldn't give up. It lunged at him again as soon as it hit the ground."You've got a death wish?" He snorted and smashed the creature into a scarlet mist with a single punch. He then turned his gaze to Abigail with a malicious grin. "It's just a little snake. You don't actually think it could hurt me, huh?""Can't hurt you? Check out the bite marks," she replied sarcastically."Huh?" George looked down and saw two tiny, needle-like punctures where the creature had bitten him. The wounds were so minor that they didn't even bleed.However, the area around the wounds had turned a deep, unnatural black. It was darker than his skin, like ink.The most disturbing part was that this black mark was rapidly spreading and crept into his bloodstream. Within seconds, it had covered most of his hand."What is this?" George's frown deepened, and his smile faltered. He had always prided himself on being impervi
