[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
"Heaven's Web Sword Skill, unleash!"Ashton's lips moved in silent incantation. 'Immortals manifest on earth.'As the sword vanished, golden light clashed with shadows, weaving a tapestry of gold and black that stretched to the horizon. It was an unbelievable sight—a dark blade surrounded by a halo of light."What in the world?" Fletcher Rabb was the first to notice the strange luminescence. It began near the ground, but it was upon him in less than a heartbeat, looking like a sword for all the world."Whoa!"When he felt a warm drop fall on him, the thought had barely registered. His vision became increasingly blurry. As he looked down, he noticed a bead of his own blood dripping from his brow.The helicopter he was flying then burst into a shower of sparks, like a firework in the night sky.The gold and black streak painted a stunning arc, instantly piercing another jet.Only then did the pilots realize Ashton had struck.The sheer speed caught them off guard. They never exp
"Sunoria's supersonic jet, an older F series model, simply cannot compete with our current K series in terms of speed or agility. We have an 80 percent chance of avoiding that golden light attack with our latest supersonic jets."A military researcher with striking blond hair and blue eyes presented his findings to a room full of officers in a Western command center."Are these findings based on actual tests?" a high-ranking officer asked."We pieced this together after a meticulous frame-by-frame breakdown of the footage, coupled with a thorough data analysis," the researcher said.The grizzled officer leaned in, his voice steady and low. "You can't compare theory to the heat of battle. Sure, our jets are faster, but what matters out there is a pilot's ability to think on their feet." He paused and pointed to the sky. "Did you notice that? That gold streak? It is as if it has its own mind, dodging and weaving with some high-tech guidance system. The only way to shake that is to go
Over a hundred people were gathered outside the TV station building. In their suits and shoes, these people stood tall. Those people stood upright in suits and shoes.Ashton glanced over and sneered.The upper echelons' temperament was not something those soldiers could imitate. They wanted to use the people in the lower classes as scapegoats? Fortunately, Ashton still had a trick up his sleeve."Mister Levin, Christon Tarranto is in charge of this operation. There are senior officials from the consortium and the cabinet supporting him."A man came to Ashton and spoke politely."Really?" Ashton smiled. "I did not expect the Sunoria consortium and Defense Unit leaders to be so young."When the man heard that, his heart skipped a beat.Obviously, Ashton did not believe what he said."Mister Levin, you don't know—""I don't need to know. I will know whenever I want to know about it." Ashton smiled and put his hand on the man's head. His arm became transparent as the energy return
"Madeline, you are very sensible. I'm happy.""You might as well tell me what trouble have you encountered this time?" Sharwin Felton narrowed his eyes and stared at her perfect body carefully. Everything that could happen with Madeline emerged in his mind, and he had even planned what he would do to her.He once stated his desire to possess her. He expected Madeline, an apprentice, to obey him willingly, but Madeline refused and left the clan. She never returned after all those years.Madeline was gifted. Even after leaving the clan, she had honed her skills to become a shadow ninja in a matter of years.However, she had returned to ask for his help. She appeared to have encountered a major problem that she could not resolve."I offended a martial arts practitioner in Lindorm. He is very powerful. His power is unimaginable.""A Linnish warrior? They are a mysterious bunch. But with your illusions and stealth abilities, even the Sunoria warriors can't look down on you. If you wan
"Linnish boy, who are you?"Sharwin was angry.That person intruded on his territory and dismissed him. He was the clan leader, and thousands of people respected him. He was about to use illusions to trap Ashton in a cage."Noisy."Ashton slapped Sharwin's head into the ground with such force that Sharwin could not avoid it.Sharwin was still perplexed as to how he could see his own body before he died. Of course, his head had been severed.Madeline, who was standing next to them, was expressionless as if she had anticipated that scene."I only have two things to say. Whether you want to kill me or not, please go ahead. I can't resist anyway."First, despite my involvement in the entire situation, I have never made a single decision. Those in power would always make the decisions. I am simply a woman who has to follow orders if I wish to live. I didn't want to kill Borra."Second, my abilities are in stealth, illusion, and tracking. I don't have any combat abilities, but my ab
