A hush fell over the Yehooda Express Line 1000 passengers as the gruesome scene played out on the screen. When Borra's head struck the ground, the silence was deafening.Confusion and horror mingled in the air as eyes were glued to the display. Who would put on such a violent show without thinking about the children watching?Next to Ashton, Chrissy's face paled, her hand clamped over her mouth to stifle the scream threatening to escape.Mona—Crimson Moon—looked equally disturbed. That was no mere threat. It was a blatant challenge."Ash..."Ashton was on his feet in an instant, his body shooting upward and crashing through the train's roof, leaving a gaping hole behind him. He hovered for a fraction of a second, orienting himself, before stepping into the Northwestern void and disappearing from view.The railway authorities wasted no time in contacting Madeline."Ma'am, the individual you wanted us to watch has disappeared—he has left the train!"Madeline felt an unsettling dr
The superbeings and cultivators glued to their screens could not help but gasp.What was meant by superpower big guns? Perhaps they did not mean simple weapons like handguns or sniper rifles. They must have been talking about a country's heavy-duty arsenal, weapons used to protect its turf and pride.Why did so many titans, even those old heavyweights who had been around for ages, go underground? It was simple. The tech of the big nations was so advanced, their weapons so sharp, that those beings could be wiped out in a blink. They stayed out of sight to avoid giving those countries a reason to come after them.Aside from cultivation freaks like Ashton, a regular Joe spent a decade in grueling training to hit the peak, only to be taken out by a simple bullet. Those who aimed to be an inner strength cultivator? They poured in over 20 years, and still, they could not dodge a bullet.Grandmasters were hard to come by in Lindorm—such a position required years of hard work, natural tale
Ashton summoned an infinite stream of light and dark energy from every direction on his second attempt, mastering the Life and Death Seal with greater ease. The world behind him was a stark contrast of black and white.Suddenly, a massive Light and Dark Twin Fish millstone emerged behind him. With a gentle push of his hands, the millstone, akin to a locomotive with blades for a cowcatcher, barreled forward, cutting through all in its path.With a single swing, the summoned Spiritual God met the Light and Dark Twin Fish millstone with a violent clash.A brilliant white radiance exploded into being.The sword shattered in an instant, the Spirit God's phantom form disintegrated, and the relentless millstone continued its path, grinding through all obstacles.Boom!The Dust Barrier crumbled to pieces.The triple-layered Dust Barrier was torn apart by the impact of the Light and Dark Twin Fish millstone, revealing a gaping maw.Beyond that, Ashton noticed a hole in the very fabric o
"It's Yehooda's regular army.""They have 4132 men.""Ashton!""Ashton!" Mona yelled from the window, her voice reaching Ashton, who was standing a few blocks away. Screams pierced the air from the train's passengers.When Ashton heard her, he strode to the electric train. Mona dashed over to meet him."Mister Levin, you need to get out of here. They've sent a whole regular army against you, and that's something not even a cultivator can stand against," Mona said, her voice laced with urgency.She noticed Ashton was sweeping his gaze across the train's interior; he did not look like he was leaving. So, Mona said, "Mister Levin, you're powerful, top of the Chart of Supremes, and you've even taken down Sunoria's Salcedo Sword Saint. No one might be able to touch you now, but don't underestimate a nation's military might. Others as strong as you have done so and paid with their lives!""The Martial Arts Defense Bureau has set up troops and choppers for extraction at the border. Sun
"I need everything you have on him, and I mean everything. Get me a report, stat," Douglas said, his voice tense."Already on it, Mister Latham. Here's the brief." One of his guys handed him a file brimming with intel.Douglas had been swamped with Northern Ace and Western Lands' business for months, barely catching a break. He was out of the loop on the home front, especially out of touch with the martial arts community.Douglas' eyebrows shot up in surprise as he scrolled through Ashton's recent highlights. Three months ago, it appeared that Ashton had turned the martial arts world and the dark web into his own personal show, with every story singing his praises.Sunoria unleashed its devastating Nuclear Weapons Pacification Plan in a fierce battle for the mythical Water of Life. Against all odds, three months later, the man emerged from the ashes, landing on Sunoria's shores with an iron will and an unstoppable force. His conquest campaign began at Pailedo, and he swept through
[Hey, once you're done offing the guy, don't forget to post a picture for us all to get a kick out of it. I'm dying to know if the tough guy hesitates when facing the reaper or is as tough as he talks.][LOL, I bet he's shaking in his boots so bad he's about to pee his pants.]The man, known as Fernando, was already packing his belongings to flee the moment he learned that someone had discovered his IP.However, the bounty hunter from Lindorm, a kind of elite known as a shadow walker, lived just around the corner. The hacker had revealed everything—name, address, photo, and other information. Fernando had barely gotten out the door when he collided with a mountain of a man."Fernando, real name Fernando Baldwin, that's you, right?" The big guy spun around and snagged him."No, you've got the wrong guy." Fernando stammered, face as white as a sheet."Wrong guy?" Cidda Lackner flashed the photo he had. "Seems to me I've got the right one. You have a pretty sharp tongue, don't you?
Mona, Chrissy, and the others gripped their fists tightly, palms slick with nervous sweat, perched on the electric train.Dozens of eyes were fixed toward the sky, refusing to blink. A crowd on the dark web watched the drama unfold live in the shadows of the internet. It seemed unbelievable that the unbeatable Ashton had been defeated so easily."Guys, I bet it would not last ten seconds! It looks like I'm about to cash in! A hundred to one odds—I'm going to be rich!"Someone shouted, caught up in the excitement.Only ten seconds had passed between the moment the fight was about to erupt."Idiot! Ashton would have dropped out of the sky by now if he were truly dead. He can walk on air because he has mastered his core essence to a whole new level, transforming air into solid steps. Dead men can't do that; they can't stay in fighting form. You clearly do not get it, spouting off like that—you obviously know nothing about martial arts."The billowing dust cleared as if on cue.Asht
Ashton was a terrifyingly powerful force to be reckoned with.However, what could have happened next?How would he have handled the situation then?What was his next move when confronted with a supersonic jet and the pinnacle of military technology?"We have to get out of here. The next ten kilometers will be dangerous. Please hurry and get the Lindorm folks to safety. I will draw the battle deeper into the mountains," Ashton said mysteriously, leaving Mona, Chrissy, and the others in awe of his superior voice transmission skill.Ashton propelled himself forward, leaping dozens of meters in a flash.As he moved, another supersonic missile detonated nearby, causing a massive crater and scattering sand and stones in a shower of scorched earth.Ashton landed a hundred meters away and quickly descended into the mountains.The dense woods and rolling hills made it difficult to spot a single soul. Usually, Ashton would not bother hiding or sneaking around. However, the prowess of tho
