Gloom!There was a world of difference from the calmness he had when he appeared before Fred.Milo's face was extremely dark at this moment. His eyes were fixated on Fred and he remained silent for a long time.He had admitted that he might not be able to defeat Fred’s one finger even if he was promoted, but that was just talk.In reality, after many years in exile, Milo was filled with ambition when he reappeared in the world. He thought he could at least make significant progress in a fight even if he was still not as strong as Fred.Alas!Two unsuccessful attacks in a row combined with Fred's indifferent comments was a clear indication that the gap between him and the number one person in the world had not shrunk after so many years. Instead, it was bigger than ever!Milo could not help but say self-deprecatingly, "I truly cannot fathom how a monster like you cultivates! I have been in seclusion for many years, while you’ve been frolicking in the secular world. In spite of th
If Fred was surprised, then what about Milo?It was the same whether the person was a warlord or a cultivator.After all, he was stronger than ordinary people. To be called Deity Of The Land was not an exaggeration.Nevertheless, he was still flesh and blood no matter how great his supernatural powers were!In Milo's opinion, Fred should have been decimated immediately by a missile like this. He chose to retreat immediately so as not to be caught by the shockwave of the missile.However…What was happening right before his eyes now?Fred was stopping the falling missile on his own!This strength, this extraordinary power! If he was not a monster, what else could he be called?A second later, Milo sneered triumphantly. "Hehe, no matter how stubborn you are, your body is still made of flesh and blood. You must be struggling to hold out against the missile, right? Hehe, you don't have to deny it, I can tell!"After saying that, Milo burst out laughing.After all, who would be c
"Ol’ Shaun, how are you?""I’m fine, haha! I just didn't expect that the Black Dragon Clan would be this strong!""They’re decent at most! They'll be dead after a confrontation with us anyway!""What's with all the trash talk? Boys, kill them!"In the border town…At this moment, the Red Letter Army was in a fierce confrontation with the Black Dragon Clan.Ever since Shaun realized he had been duped and surrounded, he immediately chose to break out. Herbert, Zachary, and Kelsey also launched an attack with tacit understanding.With the strong combat capability of the Red Letter army and the command of the four generals, they tore apart the entire line of the Black Dragon Clan in no time.The end was near!Alas!The moment the Black Dragon Clan crumbled and the Red Letter army was about to seize victory, an earth-shattering noise suddenly exploded, shocking everyone on the battlefield."That's...a missile!!!"Shaun immediately turned toward the source of the explosion. His w
“Have you forgotten who guards the borders?!” Terrence asked instead.Arnold paused for a second before he felt his body burst out in a cold sweat.“Fuck! The Great One!” He grabbed Joseph’s collar and shouted, interrupting what Terrence was about to say. “You! The Great One went to some village by the borders! Find out if it’s the same one that got bombed! Now!”Joseph felt panic wrap around his throat. He immediately yelled for the intelligence officer beside him to follow and find out.Moments later, Joseph stood up and looked at Arnold. His throat was too tight to say a word. Arnold staggered. Joseph’s expression seemed to reveal terrible news, but Arnold took a deep breath. He asked for a definitive report anyway.“Sir!” Joseph straightened his posture, forming an at-attention position as he reported shakily, “A-According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, t-the bomb exploded three kilometers away from the Great One’s village…” No! This could not be!Arnold fell to his
“What?! What do you mean the Great One is dead? No way!” “What do you mean, ‘no way’? Yeah, he’s the living legend, but he’s still human! He’s still made of bone and flesh! He’s not an actual legend, you know! He’s not unkillable.”“But not even all those powerful fighters together could kill him back then! Don’t you remember how he walked out unscathed after Bloody Hands blew up an entire island? You can’t expect me to believe he’s just going to die like that. It’s too anti-climatic!” “Hmph! It’s fate, okay? The United States were doing naval exercises in Westania, and one of their missiles just happened to explode by the borders. The Great One was right there when it exploded. It blew up on him!”Just as the people of Somerland discussed Fred’s potential death, a piece of news kickstarted panic among Somerland’s high officials. Despite Somerland’s every effort to keep Fred’s whereabouts a national secret, news of the missile exploding on him still spread across the world.In
Everyone was appalled.“No way! Even if we’re affiliated with the Great One, we’re still citizens of Somerland! They can’t just ask for us like that! What do they take us for, pushovers?”“That’s right! We can't accept their terms!”“They’re trampling all over our government!”“Trampling… Indeed.” Terrence huffed wryly. “But the truth remains that we are completely defenseless against them without the Great One. Why else would they target everyone affiliated with the Great One, if not to instill fear in our nation?“And don’t forget that everyone still has their eye on the secret behind the Great One’s prowess. You realize that even after knowing what they want, there’s nothing we can do about this? Gustafson alone isn’t powerful enough to hold all of them back.” Everyone in the room fell silent.They knew that despite being more powerful than ordinary practitioners, their God of War Gustafson was not Fred.The man could not possibly hold back an alliance of God of Wars.“T-T
“How dare you?!”Stellar was furious. He was just convincing Tyne to leave with him when someone barged into Fred’s villa and insulted his idol.In an instant, Stellar revealed his presence as a warlord. This left a sour expression on Gorde’s face.That expression did not last long, for an even stronger presence came oozing out from behind Gorde. It overpowered Stellar.“Who are you?!” Stellar paled as blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.The Walkers were known as one of the Eight Great Warlord Gentries. Quinton’s—the head of the Walkers—brother, Stellar, was much stronger than most ordinary warlords.So to be overpowered this way was shocking.Seeing the shock on Stellar’s face brought a smile back to Gorde’s. Then, he proceeded to bow gratefully to someone behind him. “Haha! My gratitude, Mr. Terra.” Stellar’s expression shifted to a frightful one when he heard this name.There was only one person among the Terras who bore such prowess.The man slowly made
Jeremiah huffed a laugh at the lack of fear in Tyne’s eyes and turned to Gorde. “Well, then, Mr. Gaunt. I’ll leave her to you?”“Thank you.” Gorde nodded and waved his subordinates forward. “Grab her and search the villa. I want them found!” “Yes, Sir!” they replied and began the disruption of Central Garden Villa’s peaceful serenity.However, after more than ten minutes and not finding Fred’s parents anywhere, Gorde’s expression contorted with frustration and fury.Agitated, he yelled at Tyne, “Where the fuck are his parents, huh?! Answer me!”“I don’t know,” Tyne replied calmly. That earned her a loud slap which had her falling to the ground. Gorde yelled again, “Say that again, you fucking bitch!”“I said I don’t know,” Tyne regained her footing and repeated. She would not reveal a single thing.“Motherfucker!” Gorde was about to slap her again when Jeremiah interrupted, “Now, now, Mr. Gaunt. We’re already short of Fred’s parents. His fiancée is all we have. If you kill
Marciella walking away did not bode well with the giant snake. Marciella was its food! How could it accept that its food had escaped?Marciella had not moved far yet. She reluctantly looked back at Fred.She did not know how Fred would handle the River God. She could only hope Fred would be okay!When Fred saw that she had left, he geared up, rubbing his palms in glee. He had an eager look on his face, which confused the giant snake.It was the snake’s first time meeting a man like Fred!How strange indeed!At this time!Suddenly, Fred said with hostility etched on his face, "Hey, Big Snake, what are you going to do now?"The snake's attention was entirely focused on him, which seemed off to Fred."What I’m going to do?"The giant snake fixated its eyes on Fred. It felt that it could handle a human like Fred easily.“I’m going to kill you with one bite! How dare you look down on me like this!"The giant snake rushed toward Fred fiercely at a speed so fast that no one could
Fred was annoyed by the giant snake's arrogant tone. Fred squinted his eyes at the snake and asked in confusion, "Why are you making that face?"“Huh?"The giant snake was shocked. He thought that Fred would submit to him, but to his surprise, Fred was not shaken at all.The snake was about to lose his temper.“Dirty snake, haven't I made myself clear enough? I think you are probably sleep-talking if you want me to hand over my people to you..." Fred said impatiently.At this moment…Feeling that it was being ridiculed, the snake said suddenly, "You punk, this is the first time anyone spoke to me this way. What is your name?"“Me?"Fred was stunned subconsciously, not knowing what the snake wanted. Suddenly, he understood.“Did you want to know my name so you can remember me, bow down before me, and become my follower? Sure, I’ll give you that chance!"He was adding fuel to the fire. The giant snake almost spat out blood in anger!"What? You want me to follow an immature bei
Huh!?Putting aside Marciella, even Fred could not hide his shock as a giant snake appeared from under the water!A giant snake!How could it be!?Fred's eyes widened at the sheer size of the snake. "A Giant Snake… Is this the so-called River God?"Moreover, the size was humongous. The snake must be at least ten stories high!What a huge snake!Fred finally understood why he felt a powerful force under the water!There was a sharp glint in the giant snake’s eyes! That was the blinking light from time to time!"Who comes here? Are you from the village? Who do you plan to sacrifice to me this time?" As soon as the giant snake spoke, Fred realized that this was not the first time it had done this.The snake seemed familiar with the ritual process. Obviously, the villagers had witnessed this giant snake before. This was the meeting between the two sides! Fred felt uncomfortable at this. As for the giant snake, it felt bemused when it saw Fred. The snake had never seen Fred befo
Fred was going to risk it all to open this girl's eyes!The force from the punch was extraordinary! As soon as the tree was hit by the seismic fist, it fell immediately and the whole tree split neatly in two!Marciella was dumbfounded!Although she knew how powerful Fred was, to witness his power was a different thing entirely!"Master Fred, your power is insane!"Marciella could not help but applaud.Fred seemed indifferent, as though he had no feeling at all about this."Is it? Why do you think so?"He looked so indifferent.For Ancient Martial Arts, things did not get any simpler than this!"You’re so strong. Anyway, I don’t doubt you anymore..." Marciella sighed, suddenly feeling very sad. "This is the reward of being educated. If we were more knowledgeable, we wouldn’t be so clueless.”"Haha, if you can't solve your issues, your descendants can work harder," Fred said with a wink.Marciella said, "Mr. Fred, I needed to ask you something! What if our luck was changed ju
What Fred said aroused her curiosity."What does it look like when you offer a sacrifice?"Fred knew he could not speak of this matter. Sure enough, Marciella felt a little downcast after Fred said the words. She did not know why Fred would say such a thing. Suddenly, Fred felt bad about it.He coughed and said, "Don't think too much about it... I just want to find a clue. Maybe we could find a solution. Why does it never rain in your village?""Huh?"Marciella's eyes, which were still a little dejected, suddenly realized what was important and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Fred, are you saying that the reason why it never rains in our village is because someone is behind it?"Although Fred was unwilling to admit it, he could not help but nod. "Yes, this is exactly what you thought!""For real?!"Marciella felt hopeful again when she heard this. She said hastily, "The thing you asked about is pretty simple. You can just check out that place!""That place?"Fred turned around to see w
Marciella found herself nodding in agreement with Fred's harsh assessment. "You're spot on," she said. "That woman is nothing but vile!"Seeing Marciella's reaction, a rare smile crossed Fred's face as he nodded back. "Glad you see it my way," he said.What caught Fred off guard was the villagers' reaction. One by one, their faces turned ashen with despair.It seemed to them that nothing could be worse than the predicament they were facing. The absence of the witch spelled doom for the village—it was like their last shred of hope had vanished. They had all put their faith in her to charm the River God into blessing them with rain, which would have brought some peace to their troubled lives. However, now their chances seemed to have dried up just like their fields. Fred stood there, his face a mask of serenity amidst the chaos.In the moments that followed, the village chief was a picture of despair, his only option was to send everyone home while he racked his brain for a backup pl
"What?"Fred did not even have time to blink before the witch suddenly made a move.It was like a bomb went off.Kaboom!Then, she was dead!Fred dusted off his hands, even surprising himself with his lack of tolerance for the witch.Now, though, he had a real headache. He had planned to clear the air with the witch and lay out the past so everyone would know the full picture.He thought that might just turn things around.The situation changed when she vanished, and Fred's plans were completely derailed. Then again, changing the villagers' minds was not going to be a walk in the park anyway. They were pretty set in their ways, thanks to all the stuff they had been fed.As such, just talking it out might not cut it. Heck, it could even mess with history!With the witch out of the equation, Fred figured he might as well try a different tactic. Maybe if he took out the guy in the cloak and worked his own magic to bring some rain, it could save a lot of hassle. The more he thoug
"No way!"The witch bristled with defiance. She could not accept that she was no match for Fred.As she noticed Fred's focus was locked on her, a sly idea popped up in her mind.Before she could act on it, though, she found herself pinned against the wall by Fred in a flash...Her face contorted in disbelief. She was pinned so tightly that she could not even move!The witch was completely overpowered, her heart racing with panic.How could he be so much stronger than her?Fred, on the other hand, seemed unfazed."What's going through your head? You don't seriously think you can take me on, do you?" Fred asked, his voice laced with skepticism.The witch felt utterly trapped, as if at any second, Fred might just finish her off."Look, I messed up, okay? Can we not do this? I'm old, just a pile of brittle bones—I can't take this kind of rough treatment!" the witch pleaded with Fred, trying a new tactic to get through to him.Fred was not falling for it. He looked at her with a
"Heh, I caught on to you a while back, you know. You've been tailing me, and I'm pretty sure you're here for me. Plus, you don't have the look of someone from our village. That means you are an outsider, and I'm your target, right? Listen, man, we don't have any beef with each other, so why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"The witch had sensed the raw power rolling off Fred, and it was enough to send shivers down her spine!At that moment, she knew that challenging Fred was not going to be a walk in the park! If she had spotted him earlier in the forest, it would not have been good news for her. For starters, she had no clue how many tricks Fred had up his sleeve, and if he took her down, she and her buddy would be toast.However, the witch was not about to let Fred take her out without a fight! She racked her brain and finally settled on one strategy!She would try to sweet-talk him, hoping Fred would fall for her words just like everyone else, and fall into he
