Tobiro’s blood was boiling after hearing those words; he was already imagining the scene of his magnificent victory. Not only would he be able to gain a lot of fame, but he’d be able to have a woman for himself too!Without a second thought, Tobiro took a step forward before screaming, “Samsara Slash!”A bright flash was seen, followed by a dark aura. The crowd became more excited after seeing that Tobiro’s first attack was the Abito Way’s killer move.“You’re not good enough.”Harvey sighed, and flicked his finger.Clang!A piece of rubble flew out of his finger, flying through the bright light before landing right onto the Blizzard Hell.Pfft!Tobiro’s body shivered, and the cracks of his fingers exploded instantly. He was immediately sent flying, and slammed to the ground. Fresh blood came right out of his mouth soon after.He looked in disbelief; he desperately tried to stand, but he simply had no strength to do so.He had injected himself with the Budokami Elixir, an
A cold breeze was blowing at the funeral.The people from the Island Nations, India, and the South Sea instinctively shivered before coming to their senses. A few people wanted to step back, but they were all forced to come forward by a fierce aura.“You bastard! How dare you bury Tobiro?”A few experts of the Abito Way screamed in rage before charging forward with their swords in hand.“We’ll kill you and avenge Tobiro!”“That’s better.” Harvey smiled, crossing his arms. When the experts closed in on him, he swept his leg across the ground.“Aaagh!”An expert screamed in pain; he kept twitching on the ground immediately after being kicked down.Harvey kicked the experts one after another, breaking their legs. They wailed on the ground. He didn’t kill them, but they were already rolling on the ground with a look of despair; they had clearly lost their strength to fight.“Do the rest of you need my help, too? Or are you going to jump into the hole yourselves?”Harvey clapped a
“Look out, Sir York!“Sorcerers of the South Sea use venom and miasma!“A single touch, and you’re dead!”Rachel instinctively spoke up; since she was a Longmen higher-up, she had a certain understanding toward the sorcerers.Their standing in the South Sea was at least on par with the sacred martial arts training grounds. More importantly, their methods were usually beyond understanding. People would die to them without even knowing the reason why.Harvey narrowed his eyes before casually taking a step forward.Hiss!A venomous snake landed right on where he had stood; he managed to dodge the attack the moment he took a step.Seb was shocked, and revealed himself again.“How is that possible? How did you manage to evade the Psyche Fog?!”His black smoke was just an illusion. He had already planted something actually venomous, and had confidently hid it around Harvey. And yet, it was completely useless. According to Seb’s calculations, nobody would be able to evade his atta
“Venom Strike!”Seb was done using tricks; he clapped, then charged right at Harvey.A foul stench seeped out the moment his hands collided. His hands were covered in venom. Anyone touched by it would experience hellish pain.Facing Seb’s swift attack, Harvey calmly stomped on the ground.Crack!A piece of rubble flew right at Seb’s throat. The attack was fast.Seeing it, Seb had no choice but to back down with a furious expression.He believed Harvey was simply too despicable. Harvey didn’t fight him head-on, and even used underhanded tactics to ruin his killer move!Seb needed to defend himself against Harvey. He stepped back, then put his arms in front of him.Clack!A piece of rubble landed right on Seb’s hand. Sounds of bones cracking could be heard. The immense force pushed right through Seb’s hands, and onto his chest.“Guh!”Seb screamed in pain as he was sent flying; he finally managed to stop when he crashed into a stone tablet far away.His entire body was twitc
“I’ll make you understand that you’ve made the worst decision of your entire life!” Seb exclaimed, his voice hoarse.His face was filled with nothing but rage. At the same time, he was starting to regret his decision.He wondered why he stood up to fight Harvey in the first place. If only he just safely pressured Harvey behind the scenes, he’d be rewarded once everything was set and done.Now that he was crippled, what was the point of the reward even if Harvey was taken down?“The sorcerers, go against me?”Harvey showed a disdainful expression.“Ask Kylen if he’d dare.”Harvey then ignored Seb, and wiped his hand with some tissues.“Who else is there? If this is all you’ve got, then you won’t get the justice you deserve. You’d have to give me an explanation about the situation as well.”“Don’t get too cocky, Harvey.”Shinsuke, who had been quiet the entire time, couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He quickly swallowed a pill before stepping forward with his arms crossed.
Harvey sighed.“You’re halfway to becoming a God of War, yet you’re still here swallowing drugs. Can’t you just let that go?”Harvey thought he figured out Shinsuke’s strength by now, but the latter was a lot more powerful than anticipated. With Shinsuke’s bloodshot eyes and bloodthirsty expression, there was simply no other explanation.Harvey knew the Islanders were involved with ninjas, onmyojis, conjurers, and martial artists. They’ve managed to invent all sorts of peculiar things because of all their combined talents.However, he didn’t think that even someone with extraordinary strength would use drugs.Still, it was enough to show just how much the Island Nations wanted Country H to fall. They would stop at nothing just to achieve that goal.“Come!”Shinsuke glared coldly after seeing Harvey take a step back. He scoffed, then took another step and wielded his sword again.The attack was as quick and ruthless as lightning. Shinsuke managed to bring his swordsmanship to th
Harvey didn’t do anything fancy.It was a clean and simple strike. Everyone could tell that he was aiming right for Shinsuke’s head.Many Islander experts were showing disdain, thinking that Harvey was boasting and completely unimpressive.However, only Shinsuke managed to see Harvey’s true power.His strike was simple, yet the speed alone was enough to terrify anyone. Shinsuke’s head would split in half if he was hit!He instinctively shivered after thinking about it. He quickly mustered his strength and swung his sword, trying to block Harvey’s attack.Clang!Shinsuke’s custom-made sword instantly snapped in half. It was clear the strength of Harvey’s strike was beyond Shinsuke’s wildest imagination.Swoosh!Harvey stopped his attack right as the sword was a hair’s length from Shinsuke’s head.“You’re not good enough. You can’t even take a single hit.”Shinsuke was frozen stiff, his eyes twitching frantically. He didn’t expect Harvey would stop there. This meant there was
“Sigh…”An eerie voice could be heard.A woman clad in traditional Indian clothing suddenly walked out from the crowd. She was wearing a face scarf that revealed some of her skin. There was a clear view of her waist, and a Cat’s Eye Stone was attached to her belly button.She exuded a refreshing scent as she walked out. She smelled like a cool breeze on a beach, captivating everyone’s hearts.She held a scimitar covered in jewelry. Despite her gentle demeanor, her expression was fierce. Simply put, the woman was a rose covered in thorns.“And who are you?” Harvey asked, looking at the Indian woman.The woman smiled; her eyes could trap hearts.“I am Wanda Garcia from India. I’m here to learn your ways of sparring. However, I’m willing to grant you any wish if you give up and let me capture you right now.”Wanda looked deeply at Harvey. Ordinary men would’ve already kneeled under her skirt.“Can you agree to kill yourself, then?” Harvey said, glaring at her.Wanda froze, as if
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
Daichi had already checked the Chapter of Ascension earlier back in Grand City, but he could not leave with it. Only after Harvey gave his green light would Rachel pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi.Harvey gave Kenta a look and then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Pass him the thing and escort him out."Harvey was straight-faced when he said that. While he had read it through, he did not believe that the Chapter of Ascension would really allow one to reach Unity between Nature and Man. It was not that Harvey was underestimating Hale, but as a martial art elite himself, he knew very well that there were many things required an epiphany to comprehend, and not just some so-called Chapter of Ascension.If that thing was really as effective as people said, Hale would not be hunted for more than a decade. In no time, a few hours went by. Kenta picked up his phone and after listening to the other side, he smiled. "You really are an honest man. Working with you is a very pl
Kenta continued to speak to Harvey in a chatty manner. "Everyone here can see how powerful you are. Unless we can kill you without any doubt, we won't be able to survive your revenge later on. That's why… You can trust me."Harvey looked at Kenta coldly. "Of course you won't be able to kill me. However, I need to make sure Mandy and my men are safe. That's why there's no need to waste your breath here."All you need to do is to give me an answer. Will you come with us? Before we leave, someone will let Daichi examine the Chapter of Ascension. Once we've left Sky Plane for about an hour, that person will then pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word."Kenta smiled. "We'll believe you if you're willing to personally guarantee it. It's decided then. I believe we can work well together. Now, let's go."As soon as Kenta finished saying that, he waved his hand. All the Islander elites stepped aside despite the weapons in their hands. This was also a way
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
