"You are a pitiful bunch, obsessed with petty formalities and blind to true honor. You speak of respect for Lindorm Land's titans, but your eyes betray you—they are filled with contempt, disgrace, and greed," Ashton said.Ephraim's laughter echoed through the air, a taunting cackle. "So what if you die here today? In your own Lindorm Land terms, the victor writes history. You're the real villain here—the despicable one who deserves to die!" His triumphant grin was as wide as the chasm between them. "Being upfront is the best way to deal with you Lindorm Land folks. You're all so full of yourselves. It's laughable!"Ashton could not help but smirk at the provocation."Being upfront, and yet I showed up as promised. It makes you wonder, who's the real fool here?""You think a Luminara, a shadow ninja, some low-tier ninjas, and a cursed idol can guarantee your victory over me? You don't know the first thing about me."He stepped forward, closing the distance between them.Ephraim st
Everyone was stunned.What was going on?Why did Citrupa God fly out?Madeline's eyes were wide open. She no longer appeared flirtatious but rather terrified.What should they do if Citrupa God was not Ashton's opponent? Who else could defeat him besides the Sword Saint?That was the first time she had questioned Sunoria's combat abilities. Were they more powerful than Lindorm's warriors? They were also young warriors like Ashton, but the man could fight off older, more capable warriors. What about them? They were unqualified."Don't worry, the Citrupa God is invincible in the shrine. No one can kill him. The power of worship can keep him alive forever." The man next to her comforted her.However, Madeline Nader was not happy.Nothing would be resolved if the Citrupa God was unable to kill Ashton. He could easily hunt them in the future as long as he escaped. Well, unless they never left Citrupa Shrine, which was unrealistic.It would be too late by the time Ashton left the sh
"How many Sunoria warriors can make a barrier-breaking blow?" Solax swallowed."Less than ten," Madeline said."What about those who can make ten barrier-breaking punches in a row?" Solax continued to ask.Madeline shook her head. "There is none.""Just one punch will almost completely deplete a large portion of your power. A barrier-breaking blow is the most powerful trick because it can kill someone in one hit. It is also the hallmark of a warrior master."Sunoria's warrior masters were divided into two types—Master of Swords and Master of Knives. They had the same strength as ascendants in Lindorm.The warrior master was the strongest realm before the Sword Saint; half of them were the country's power ceiling.However, even so, barrier-breaking was the final killer, and it was an extremely difficult trick to comprehend.The continuous barrier-breaking punches were not a trick the body could bear. No one had a strong enough body to carry out a feat of that scale to kill their
The energy in Ashton's body began to flow backward, and then the energy in Ephraim's body entered Ashton's body via his hand.It reminded Ashton of a method that was once popular in the martial arts community and was regarded as a magic trick while also being shunned.It was the Star Absorption method.The method was to absorb the inner strength of others for one's own use. As long as the body's tolerance was high enough, there was no limit to strength growth.However, that type of exercise had an obvious flaw in that the powers of various sources were all accumulated in the body. In the end, multiple energies would repel and restrict each other, easily sending the body into shock and exploding.Ashton's approach was even more inventive. His core essence, which could accommodate all kinds of energies, was assimilated into the same form of power and stored in the body for self-improvement or replenishment of lost energy during the process of energy backflow.He could absorb the en
"Thank you for your compliment. I will do anything you wish." Madeline hinted."I will give you a half-day. I require information on all Dark Dragon Society branches, the headquarters, and the Defense Units that carried out the nuclear attack."Can you do it?"Madeline hurriedly lowered her head. "Yes, sir, I promise to satisfy you."Ashton smiled. "The guarantee is useless. I have to take an insurance measure."Ashton placed his palm on her head, and a spiritual imprint was placed in her head."No matter how far you are from me, I can detonate this spiritual imprint in your head at any time. I hope you will always be wise enough not to make me do it."Madeline's body shook, but she did not dare to fight back.Solax and Borra stood by, quietly watching.The Dark Dragon Society branch in Pailedo was destroyed with the flick of a finger, and the Citrupa Shrine's President was killed. Ephraim was Sunoria's most well-known Luminara.Ashton then aimed for the Dark Dragon Society's
"Joji, you're here."Joji stood aside after respectfully greeting the old man."Master Salcedo, are you alright? My name is Ulicia, and I first came to see you over ten years ago."A woman walked out of the crowd and respectfully greeted him.Ulicia Crowder, the only female Master of Swords in Sunoria, was only in her 30s, but her strength was already comparable to Joji's."I remember you, a talented swordswoman. You will be one of the top figures in Sunoria." Sharvas smiled kindly."I am happy to see Sunoria's younger generation so determined. I am glad our martial arts skills will be passed to the next generation." Sharvas smiledA thought popped into their minds. Was Sharvas giving his last words? Why did it exude such a desolate vibe?"Master Salcedo, do you know much about the Linnish martial arts practitioners?" Joji asked abruptly, and everyone pricked their ears."Linnish." Sharvas had a different expression. It was as if he had fallen into memories. His gray eyes narr
Ashton was resting in a hotel during the five-day truce when he received the appointment letter. He expected the other party to take special measures to deal with him based on his movement.However, Ashton was more surprised by the manner of the appointment. That nation was unexpectedly dignified.However, he did not care. Since his opponent planned to fight openly and impartially, he would have to go. If he won, he could destroy the Dark Dragon Society. If he lost, it was because he was weak and could no longer go through with his revenge plan. He deserved to die there.The five-day break simply gave him time to digest the power he possessed while also becoming more acquainted with his body.Ashton was unconcerned, but when the appointment was revealed, the entire dark web and even Lindorm lost their cool.Sunoria and Lindorm were constantly at odds with one another. The grudges were personal. It was easy to arouse anger and other inexplicable hostile emotions when they mentioned
"How is the situation? Can you contact Ashton?"In the dark room, a man sat with a windbreaker over his broad shoulders and a cigarette in his mouth."It is difficult. The other party lacks communication equipment, his whereabouts are erratic, and even if he can be found, he will not necessarily communicate with us." A woman dressed in red lowered her head.Her ID on the dark web was Crimson Moon, and she was the one who broke the news."This kid can get into trouble. He got into a fight with the Sword Saint. This is significant. He does not realize that Sharvas' strength is the best among those ancient monsters, even by our Lindorm standard." The man sighed and put the cigarette out."Weren't you optimistic about him earlier? After all, he killed Ephraim. With his strength, maybe there will be a miracle," the woman said worriedly."You have no idea what the realm of immortal represents, and Sharvas has been in that realm for decades. His powers must have advanced to a new level.
