Layton frowned as he looked at Harvey, not showing any other reaction.Bryn and the others looked as if they realized something.‘I thought Harvey was actually capable! So that’s what’s going on!’‘If Layton didn’t go easy on him, he would’ve been dead by now!’‘And yet, he’s still acting like he’s actually impressive! What a shameless bastard!’‘Normally speaking, he should’ve admitted defeat after realizing how generous Layton was being!’Zaid stood not far away from Bryn, and chuckled.“All sacred martial arts training grounds know that Heaven’s Gate is fighting for justice and to uphold the reputation of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance. Hopefully, we’ll get another representative in Gangnam after this fight.”Bryn quickly understood what he was saying.“Don’t worry, Young Master Zaid. Who else can that be but you?“When I become representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, I’ll get the sacred martial arts training grounds to recommend you!”Zaid flashed her a profoun
Layton was cursing in his heart, but he didn’t say anything out loud. After all, maintaining his status as an expert was always a good thing.If he killed Harvey, not only would his embarrassment not be announced to the world, but he’d be praised as being compassionate as well.Layton scoffed. Without hesitation, he pulled out the sword on his waist.He was a God of War! An expert martial artist!It was simply too degrading for him to pull out his weapon just for a small fry…However, the people of Heaven’s Gate were pridefully cheering their hearts out.“You’re dead! You’re dead, Harvey!”“Mr. Layton’s been honing his blade for decades! It’s an honor for you to see him in action!”“Who in the world can even defend themselves from Mr. Layton?!”As they cheered, Layton swung his sword right at Harvey’s head at the speed of light. Speed was the only way to long success. Naturally, a God of War like Layton knew that. He omitted all fancy moves, and dished out a flurry of swift
“You little bastard!”Layton was starting to get tired after swinging his sword non-stop. He hadn’t perfected his martial arts, after all.He was a God of War, but he only managed to get here with brute force. His energy couldn’t last as long as other experts. His combat strength was the same.After missing every single one of his attacks, he couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.Bryn and the others shivered, looking sluggish after hearing Layton’s screams.They realized it wasn’t that Layton wanted to test Harvey… Harvey was simply too fast for him to hit.‘Does this bastard know Heaven’s Gate’s biggest weakness? Layton’s combat strength usually doesn’t last long!’Bryn was enraged after thinking that.“I understand why you managed to defeat India’s top talents now!“All you’re good at is dodging hits! You can’t do anything else! “How are you not ashamed for doing such a thing?“Are you only going to fight back when Mr. Layton’s out of stamina?“It’s impossible!“W
How fast!Harvey’s actions were simple; his slap wasn’t anything special at all, but the speed was intense!Bryn and the others couldn’t even keep up with him. Layton frantically moved his sword to defend himself.Bam!Harvey managed to slap the back of Layton’s sword. A loud sound was heard. A terrifying wave of air spread out; dirt and dust filled the air, making people squint.Nobody could tell what happened.When the air cleared after a long time, cracks resembling a spider web were seen on the ground where Harvey and Layton clashed.What terrifying strength!What a shocking sight!Layton was seen holding his sword as he stood still; he claimed he had a tough body, yet he was completely covered in blood. Both of his arms were completely shattered. It was a miserable sight.One could hear his rapid breathing. Everyone’s eyes twitched. ‘Harvey managed to fight back with just a single slap?’‘He even crippled Mr. Layton!’‘This…’Harvey was casually wiping his fingers
The people around were parched. They were getting harder and harder to breathe.‘How?!’‘How is this even possible?!’“Brute force isn’t working for you after all.Harvey York casually threw his tissue to the ground before smiling faintly.“Heaven’s Gate? A sacred martial arts training ground?“What a joke!“Not only do you people not hone in on your training, all you know is gaining interest with your dishonesty!“You’re completely ignorant about the damn law!“Do you think you can do whatever you please just because you’re tough?!“People like you can become Gods of War?“Does this place even deserve to be called a sacred martial arts training ground?“You’re not even worthy…”Harvey’s calm words were enough to cut the people’s hearts like butter. The so-called experts of Heaven’s Gate were all boiling with rage.Nobody even bothered about what Harvey said before the fight…But since Layton Surrey was utterly defeated, this meant Harvey’s words were nothing but the tru
The experts of Heaven’s Gate were furious after seeing Layton Surrey being felled.For them, Layton was their god, pillar of support, and source of confidence!Then again, not only was their biggest support wholly defeated by a single slap, but he was also humiliated by being crushed to the ground.“You’re shameless, Harvey!“How dare you sneak up on Mr. Layton like that?!“You don’t even respect your elders!”Bryn Osborne snapped out of her stupor before glaring at the sight.To her, she needed to watch Harvey York get defeated to get the position as the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance.That said, not only did that not happen, Layton was utterly defeated as a result.Everything felt like a dream to her!‘I should be snapping out of it!‘This bastard must’ve snuck up on Mr. Layton!’“I’ll be sending you your way now, Mr. Layton.”Harvey exerted more force on his feet, stomping in the middle of Layton’s chest, his weak spot.Layton’s face turned pale.He start
Zaid Surrey waved his hand furiously.A dozen of Layton Surrey’s disciples instantly pulled out their swords before stepping forward.Adler Lowe and Osman Bowie also wretchedly chuckled when they came forward with their families.Almost a hundred experts were fiercely glaring at Harvey York, ready to pounce at any moment.Rachel Hardy changed expressions instantly. Bryn Osborne was also sporting a proud look.Alani Carlson, Shinsuke Yamamoto, Calvin Lowe, and others were disdainfully glaring at Harvey as well.‘So what if he won?‘We have the numbers here!‘Besides, it’s not like he’s a good guy anyway!’Layton relaxed when he saw the support of his people.“I admit that you’re strong, Harvey!“But do you even dare to kill me?“Just you wait! When everything’s over, I’ll visit every sacred martial arts training ground for the mental cultivation technique!“Give me one year—no, six months!“I’ll cut you down myself after that!“Not only that, I’ll also kill every single p
Blood was trickling from Layton Surrey’s mouth.He desperately tried to get back up but to no avail.His wretched face was full of pain and resentment.He was a God of War!An expert martial artist!The leader of a sacred martial arts training ground!A mighty man like him was destined to be on top of the world.Then again, he never thought he would easily lose against a small fry.No matter how much he prepared, he was never ready for this.Harvey York actually dared to take him out while so many people surrounded him!He did not even get to send any word out before that!‘It’ll be dangerous if the sacred martial arts training grounds go against him!’Layton’s mind naturally wandered to the situation at hand.With Harvey around, the sacred martial arts training grounds would no longer act as high and mighty.Layton became more enraged after realizing that.He could not draw another breath when his body slammed right before Bryn Osborne.‘Is he dead?!‘He’s actually de
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
