The battle between the four intensified. And the destruction they left grew as they fought. Everything within their range was destroyed and became rubble. Birds and animals of the Black Forest ran away.The huge commotion also attracted the attention of various martial artists. Low-level martial artists, divine-level martial artists, and even grandmasters were present. They were from various sects and skill levels. Almost all sorts of martial artists had gathered. But they did not dare make a move. Everyone watched from afar as the four grandmasters fought. They were shocked, but their gazes were locked on the epic battle. With each resounding clash, their battle grew intense. Waves of energy rippled outward like a tsunami. It sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers. After a long exchange of moves, Theodore, Graham, and Orson grew alarmed. They didn't expect Michael to be that strong.Even against three opponents, he wasn't struggling.His grandmaster aura seemed
That was just too powerful! "Haha! Yes! We won!" Abigail jumped for joy.A while ago, she was still worried that her father would lose. She didn't expect him to win so easily. "A powerful man, indeed." Dustin smiled faintly. He wasn't too surprised by the result. Michael was an ultimate grandmaster. He was also ranked the best among the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno. Theodore and the other two men weren't his match at all. If Michael hadn't shown them mercy, they would have been taken down a long time ago. "Do you still want to fight?" Michael took a step forward. His demeanor grew even more imposing. It was hard not to be intimidated by him. Theodore and the rest crawled out of the pit, looking a mess. They were both shocked and cautious. They had never imagined that Michael had hidden his true strength. His sudden outburst earlier had completely caught them off guard. "What do we do now? Are we going to give up just like this?" Theodore glanced at the other t
"What's going on? Where did the black fog come from?""Does anyone have Curax? I'd be willing to pay a high price for it!" "Oh, no! Are we going to be poisoned to death?"Everyone was terrified as they watched the black fog closing in on them from all sides. Their legs had turned to jelly. They had come here in search of treasure. But instead of finding any, they had thrown themselves into danger. "This is bad. The Black Forest has Song of Hell!" Michael scanned his surroundings with a grim expression. At this time, he could no longer care about Theodore, Graham, and Orson. "Dad, what's Song of Hell?" Abigail couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw how anxious the others were. "An extremely terrifying miasma. It's known as one of the ten deadliest poisons in the world. While it might not be the most toxic, its lethality is unmatched. It destroys and devours everything in its path," Michael explained.Hearing that, Abigail swallowed nervously. "Then what should we d
Everyone was running around in panic. However, the black fog had blocked all their paths. There was nowhere for them to go. "The Venerable Crane, aren't you powerful? Please save us!" "Sir Thorne, you are a grandmaster martial artist. You must be able to help us, right?""Orson, aren't you supposed to care about us? Saving lives is going to benefit an abbot like you tremendously!" A group of flustered martial artists hurried over to Theodore and his group. They cried and begged to be saved. "What a bunch of trash! Fuck off!" Theodore waved his hand, giving off a force that sent them flying. "Well, greed kills a person. You can only consider this your misfortune," Graham said coldly, remaining unfazed. "This is a natural catastrophe. There is nothing much I can do either." Orson shook his head. In the face of the poisonous fog, the grandmasters could only protect themselves."Sir Robinson! Please save us!" Right then, a large group of martial artists approached Michael
"The black fog has been sucked away!""This is great! We are safe!""As expected of Sir Robinson!"When everyone saw the miasma being drawn away, their spirits were instantly lifted. They had thought they were going to die. Fortunately, Michael had saved them. He had used his immense power to absorb all the poisonous miasma.They were no longer in danger!It didn't take long for the surrounding black fog to slowly disappear. "It's gone! The black fog is gone!" The crowd was filled with joy. They were glad to have survived the disaster. In stark contrast, Michael underwent a rapid transformation upon absorbing the miasma. His entire body darkened from head to toe. Even his nails turned black. The poison had spread across his body. In the end, Michael couldn't take it anymore. He coughed out a mouthful of black blood and fell from above. "Dad!" Just as Abigail wanted to step forward to catch him, Dustin stopped her. "I'll do it," he said and quickly leaped into the
Upon entering Michael's mouth, the Celestial Pearl emitted a brilliant golden light. Then, it moved into his abdomen. The pearl began to spin wildly, removing the poison from his body."It's working!" Dustin was delighted.With the help of the pearl, Michael should be able to pull it through. "Hand over the Celestial Pearl, Michael!" Theodore demanded after coming to his senses. His face was full of greed. "How can you swallow such a priceless treasure? Spit it out right now! Or we won't show you mercy!" Graham fixed his eyes on him intently. "That is an evil relic. Don't be bewitched by it, Sir Robinson!" Orson also couldn't hold himself back anymore. He began to walk closer to them. "Stop right there!" Abigail blocked their way.She spat, "My dad is severely poisoned now. We need the pearl to save his life. Do not interfere!" "Hmph! He's already at death's door. It's a waste letting him have the pearl!" Theodore was growing impatient. "And you call yourself a human?
"Oh? And what's with the Celestial Pearl?" Ronald looked back. He was confused. "Uncle Reeds, we had risked our lives to get the pearl. It belongs to us, to begin with. They're the ones who want to snatch it from us!" Abigail explained. "Nonsense! We're doing this for the martial world! Unlike you, who are only after personal gain," Theodore said righteously. "Sir Reeds, they harbor ulterior motives! Look at how selfish they are! They don't even care about the alliance. They should be severely punished!" Graham added. "Those who connect with evil entities certainly don't have a clean mind," Orson remarked. At this moment, the three grandmasters had abandoned their earlier aggressive stance. They pretended to be righteous in front of Ronald. "What a bunch of hypocrites! Stop throwing mud at us!" Abigail was annoyed. It was clearly them who wanted to seize the pearl, yet they had the nerve to speak with such righteousness! "They're distorting facts!" she muttered inwardl
"Michael, you haven't changed a bit. You only ever show your good side to people. Look at you; you look like you'll collapse at any moment. And yet, you still pretend like everything is okay," Ronald said helplessly. "I heard that you've swallowed the Celestial Pearl. Can your body handle it?" he asked. "Don't worry, Sir Reeds. The pearl is a sacred relic. It won't harm Mr. Robinson's body and will absorb the poison inside. It'll also help him increase his cultivation level," Dustin explained. "Oh, really?" Ronald raised his brows slightly and chuckled. "A blessing in disguise. Don't you think so, Michael? With this pearl, you'll have a chance to break through the ultimate grandmaster level." "Let's just leave it to fate." Michael shook his head. He said, "The pearl is a valuable treasure. It's bound to attract a lot of attention. It might bring us quite a bit of trouble in the future.""Rest assured, Michael. As long as I'm here, no one can take the pearl away." Ronald wa
