In a pitch-black alley, not a soul in sight,
Two figures struggled, clumsily staggering across the wall.
Despite their clothes being torn and fresh blood continuously dripping onto the ground,
They did not dare stop, instead speeding towards a spot on the main road.
After a while, noticing no pursuers behind them, they both let out a sigh of relief.
After a bit longer, feeling more than half of their stamina had returned, they looked at each other, eyes filled with confusion.
They had yet to expect the enemy to find the location of the temporary hotel they had booked.
Furthermore, their assassination target was much more formidable tha
Buzz...Buzz...Suddenly, Ethan's mind was bombarded with a buzzing sound, as if the world around him had plunged into a shadowy abyss.Then, he found himself in an entirely alien dimension. The surroundings, albeit strange, carried traces of ancient aesthetics."Where am I?"Struggling to consolidate his focus, Ethan could perceive that the spiritual energy within this realm was hundreds of thousands of times more potent than the world outside. More so, the walls around him were engraved with oddly familiar scripts.However, a spectral figure materialized before Ethan could regain his composure, its face aged and wrinkled, squinting in his direction."Mortal, why have you awoken me?"The apparition's ability to speak directly startled Ethan somewhat."Who are you?""Hmm? Don't you recognize me? I am the spirit of this tower. You may address me as the Piercing Heaven Taoist!"As he spoke, the phantom raised its head and puffed out its chest, clasping hands behind, a demeanor exuding al
Knock, knock!While Ethan was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door.Startled, Ethan slowly opened his eyes. "Who's there?"Hearing footsteps outside, Ethan had an inkling of who it might be. But he was not entirely sure. After all, it was past two in the morning; why would she come looking for him?A pause, then a voice answered, "It's me. Aren't you asleep yet? Can we talk for a bit?"Recognizing Londyn's voice, Ethan's brow furrowed slightly. But after a moment's consideration, he rose and opened the door.At this moment, Londyn stood outside, garbed in pajamas, her feet ensconced in slippers, her countenance tinged with an edge of worry.Observing Londyn's anxious stance, Ethan could not help but scrutinize her with a hint of suspicion, a curious gaze in his eyes."What brings you to me?!"Regarding Ethan's frosty demeanor, a certain aloofness woven within, a tumultuous flutter crept in Londyn's chest, her lips incessantly pressed together in a tense line.However,
Seeing Londyn's flustered figure, Ethan's face wore a peculiar expression. But before he could respond, she stumbled against the table leg, crashing onto the floor.This time, Ethan couldn't react in time because the distance between them was too great. When he turned around, Londyn held her toe, wincing in pain."Ouch..."Ethan's heart was tinged with amusement, but he dared not laugh aloud. Instead, he approached her with a severe face, asking softly, "Are you alright?"Londyn looked up at him, their eyes meeting. Her face flushed even redder, and a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance filled her, but she knew not how to reply.Sensing her discomposure, Ethan's eyes shifted slightly. Without waiting for her reaction, he suddenly stooped down and grabbed her in his arms.Startled and afraid, she wanted to struggle, but Ethan's voice suddenly whispered in her ear."Don't squirm. Let me carry you to bed."Hearing him say this and feeling his strong arms tightly holding her, she didn'
"Director, are you there?"Just as Londyn arrived at her office, the voice of her new secretary drifted in from outside. As a new employee, she appeared timid and could only stand out and call in.Hearing this, Londyn couldn't help but softly respond, "The door isn't locked. Please, come in."Hearing Londyn's voice in response, the new secretary exhaled softly. She delicately opened the office door and approached Londyn, speaking in a lowered voice."Director, the security guard downstairs just called to report that a man named Darius Byner has come to see you. What should we do? Should we let him up?"Hearing the secretary's inquiry, a hint of astonishment washed over Londyn, her eyes glancing upward at the woman."Darius Byner? Who is that?"Despite working in the cosmetics and jewelry industry for several years, Darius Byner was alien to Londyn. Moreover, the fact that he sought her out at this time evoked an acute sense of skepticism.But before the secretary could reply, the shri
Lissandra's kick was ferocious, leaving Carwyn Edwards feeling like his "testicle" had been shattered. Enraged, he grabbed his lower parts, pointing at Lissandra while howling.Yet Lissandra was not scared. Instead, she looked even more ferocious, stomping down hard on Carwyn's foot with her heel."Ah!!!"Her heel was sharp, and she had put her full force behind it. Carwyn felt as though his foot was pierced through, and he screamed in agony, tears and snot threatening to flow."Mother, it hurts so much!"Hopping on one foot and clutching the other, Carwyn was furious, pointing at Lissandra and roaring,"You damn fools, what are you standing there for? Grab this stinking woman for me! If I don't deal with her today, I swear I'm not an Edwards!"Seeing his minions standing idly by, Carwyn was livid.Hearing his shout, his underlings finally reacted. The black-clad men charged forward, intending to surround Lissandra's group."What do you think you're doing? Get lost!"Seeing them appro
Half an hour later, a frantic Darius arrived. Initially, he had considered the inspection routine and non-urgent. However, as the entire building was cordoned off and the offices' managers kept calling him, he realized the situation was far from what he had initially thought.Therefore, the countenance of Darius at this very moment was indeed one of sheer alarm. He knew not whom he had offended or why such an ostentatious display was made.But as he raced to the office of Londyn, finding her in cheerful conversation with Lissandra and Captain Andrew over cups of coffee, the color of Darius's face turned pale, now flushed."Captain Andrew, what means this action?" he demanded, his voice trembling angrily. "My company has always conducted itself with utmost legality, paying taxes in full measure to your authorities. Why, then, this sudden intrusion? This hasty sealing of my property? Can you not provide me a clear explanation?"Though inwardly seething with anger, Darius dared not overs
"Sister-in-law, what do you think about this place?"Captain Andrew was walking ahead and discussing with the New Hanbok office real estate manager. Then, he flashed a friendly smile, turning to Londyn, standing behind him.At that moment, both Londyn and Lissandra were looking around in astonishment. Indeed, it seemed an ideal spot for a workplace.However, the price quoted by the manager was so favorable it made Londyn suspicious.Furthermore, being continuously referred to as 'sister-in-law' by Captain Andrew didn't sit well with her.“Ah, indeed, this place is most suitable. However, I must retreat to ponder for a while. We have much to prepare before relocating the office," were the words uttered in contemplation by Londyn.Before Captain Andrew could even respond, Regina, the acting property manager of the office building, with a smile and earnest look towards Londyn, graciously spoke up."Dear guests, please be assured. In addition to real estate, our office property company
"Are you... are you alright?!"Looking at the strapping youths writhing on the ground, Andrew's expression twitched slightly. His gaze swiftly shifted towards the slender woman with long, thin legs who exuded fierce energy, standing solemnly before him.Even as someone who had weathered countless storms, he found it hard to meet Lissandra's battle-hardened gaze. Her strikes had been precise and aimed low, at the groin.Andrew found himself at a loss for words to describe this sensation. But, the effectiveness was undeniable. Otherwise, how could those youths following that Osborne lad be in such a dreadful state?"I... I'm fine!"When Lissandra found herself under Andrew's gaze, she couldn't help feeling awkward. During the dire situation earlier, she had acted on instinct, kicking as she was accustomed to. But now, under the scrutiny, she couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed."What a useless bunch!"Seeing his minions trounced by a woman and in such a pathetic state, Young Mas
“Destroy,” Ethan roared, swinging the Ancestor Blade powerfully. Countless beams of light converged on the sharp blade, launching a mighty attack against the skull.The Ivory Sage, not to be outdone, merged with the skull, which then seemed to gain intelligence. Its eyes glowed a ferocious red, and its enormous mouth seemed ready to swallow Ethan whole.The night and light, good and evil clashed, as if bringing the apocalypse.Black and white light intersected, splitting Mist Isle and the sea.The endless sea began to boil, everything disintegrating in moments.Then, under the white light, the terrible power exploded outward, with Ethan and the Ivory Sage standing at the center of it.“Retreat, quickly retreat,” Ricky and Green Dragon, astonished, commanded their armies to pull back.But they were too slow compared to the terrifying power.With a loud crash, dozens of warships were lifted tens of meters high, rocking violently.“Something’s wrong, protect the warships,” Green Dragon i
Whoosh!A terrifying roar echoed throughout heaven and earth. Under the majestic aura, a golden dragon flew towards the skull phantom after Ethan's strike.The next moment, a collision that shook heaven and earth occurred.Evil and righteousness, the skull and the golden dragon collided. The sky was enveloped in a bright light."Retreat, quickly retreat," they shouted in horror, leading their people to rapidly fall back.The members of the Ivory Guild also began to flee.Under that power, a moment's inattention could lead to being swallowed up.Even standing at a distance, they couldn't help but worry.The sea boiled, with waves hundreds of meters high surging and crashing down, the momentum reaching the skies, the earth seeming to tremble."Mr. Alexander," Hugo and Lily exclaimed in shock.Even Green Dragon and Christian frowned. The power displayed was beyond their imagination. At this point, it was not easy to determine who would win or lose.After ten minutes, the huge waves fina
After the Guild Master, whether they were Emperors, Kings, or Judge Law Enforcers, all knelt in succession."We welcome the Honored Ivory."The Honored Ivory?Behind Ethan, Green Dragon, Christian, Lily, and Hugo all frowned. No wonder the Ivory Guild was so arrogant. It turns out they had a master."The Honored Ivory, so it's real," Ricky muttered, his words tinged with caution: "Not bad, no wonder the Ivory Guild has existed for so long."In front, Ethan narrowed his eyes, saying nothing as if he wasn't surprised, even appearing somewhat expectant.Was the Honored Ivory the person he was looking for?Unnoticed by anyone, the sky grew cloudy, the drizzle turned heavy, giving a cold feeling like winter in summer.Moments later, a water spout shot up from below Mist Isle, quickly reaching hundreds of meters high.Observing closely, one could see a person standing on that spout, clad in a black cloak with a skull pattern, appearing majestic.Under that black cloak was a mask, hiding the
"Hmph, if you seek death, I'll oblige," Timothy grunted and moved to attack Ricky first.The battle ensued, a formidable power surging through the space."Christian, it's time to settle our scores," Solomon's three Judges from the Ivory Guild stepped forward, their faces filled with rage, seeking revenge on Christian."You think you're worthy? All three of you come at once," Christian said coldly."Christian, today you must die."The three Judges grimaced, their cold laughter intensifying as they lunged at Christian."Three against one, where's your honor? Green Dragon will join the fun," Green Dragon laughed and immediately stood beside Christian.The three Judges were the strongest under the Grand Mage, each at the tenth level. Christian alone might be at a disadvantage."Alright, let's see who kills more," Christian's fighting spirit surged as he licked his lips.Green Dragon wouldn't be outdone. Together, the five of them surrounded each other, their immense power enveloping the i
Christian frowned but remained calm. Just an octopus attempting to confront Mr. Alexander was indeed naive.Sure enough, moments later, the black slime suddenly changed to yellow, and the tentacles seemed to be put through a meat grinder, turning into hundreds of pieces. Blood and flesh splattered, filling the sea with a pungent smell of blood.The octopus howled in rage, burying its head in the water. It wasn't dead; it was trying to escape.But Ethan wouldn't let it get away so easily. His eyes cold, he raised the Ancestor Blade high and slashed towards the octopus.The vast sea seemed to split in two under the power of his sword, even the water parting. The octopus barely had time to escape before it was cut in half.A white light emitted from the octopus's body and then disappeared. Even Christian was amazed by the power within that light."Sir, this…" Christian started to say but his implication was clear. This octopus was indeed artificially created, and if there were a hundred
Seeing the armies before him, Ethan was deeply moved. Once, he was just an ordinary soldier, who had gone through tough wars to reach this day. Seeing his brothers, he saw himself in those glorious years. "Officers and soldiers, listen to my command." "Yes." After Ethan's shout, hundreds of thousands of soldiers echoed in unison. Whether it was Green Dragon, Lily, or Hugo, everyone appeared solemn, awaiting orders. "Ethan signaled for the army to board the warships, determined to eliminate the Ivory Guild today. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, invigorated, bravely embarked on the warships. The Ivory Guild's stronghold was five hundred meters from the Auroria border, reachable only by warship. It was imaginable that today marked a battle of life and death. How many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers would survive and return was uncertain. Soon, hundreds of warships plunged into the vast sea, heading towards the Ivory Guild's lair. "Sir, according to intelligence, the
The Elders of the Emperor Clan, who had lived for over a hundred years and possessed extraordinary strength, regretted that even facing Ethan, they could only do so much. "If he wasn't arrogant, he wouldn't be Ethan," the head of the Lee family sighed. "Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, please visit the Wind and Mac families." "After decades of seclusion, it's time for our Emperor clan to emerge." After Ethan left Auroria, the entire Flower Nation was abuzz. The five major war zones and tens of thousands of soldiers and officers moved day and night, and wherever they passed, the people rejoiced and welcomed them. The mighty army marched southward to attack the Ivory Guild. As the most dangerous organization in Flower Nation, the Ivory Guild was a target that needed to be eliminated. At this time, Ethan became a hero by eliminating harm for the people and was warmly supported by the entire nation. Not only that, but all three Emperors, who had been in hiding for decades, also took this
Having said that, this person launched a cruel move towards the Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord was unable to prepare in time and was killed immediately. “Okay, after dealing with that bad guy, next is the fight between us,” the head of the Ivory Guild glanced at Ethan. That Celestial Lord is nothing more than a puppet. The person behind the control and manipulation of the Ivory Guild is this Venerable. ……. Long Dao, Son Dinh. This is the place to worship the ancient Emperor. After thousands of years, only two people came here today. One person is Ethan, and the other person is the Venerable of the Ivory Guild who came because he was forced. The suppression of Ethan's great army caused all of this Venerable's subordinates to be defeated and have no way to retreat. At this time the Ivory Guild disbanded, only the Venerable of the Ivory Guild had to come here under Ethan's pursuit. When he arrived here, he saw Ethan standing on the mountain waiting for him. "Venerable Bach Cot
For example, at this moment, the strength he showed clearly surpassed the realm that Hoang Lao understood, so not long after the fight, Hoang Lao began to realize the problem, he began to scream. “Ethan, no matter how strong your strength is, you cannot destroy the Ivory Guild,” Hoang Lao said harshly. But unfortunately, Ethan in front of him just coldly cleared his throat: "Is that so?" After Old Man Hoang realized how strong Ethan was, he no longer restrained his body's strength. He used all his power, his main purpose was to kill Ethan. Seeing this, Ethan still stood as firmly as Mount Thai, not moving at all. At the same time, he clenched his fist and threw a punch, defeating all of Hoang Lao's defenses, making him basically unable to block. He was hit by a strong blow from Ethan, so he screamed in agony. “Ah…”, he was in extreme pain. Hoang Lao was so strong and yet at this moment he was defeated so easily, making the people around him surprised and speechless. They were un
