Kali showed a horrible expression.The eight disciples were the biggest supports of the outskirts’ branch. With their combined strength, they’d be powerful enough to go against a King of Arms.And yet they were all taken out that quickly…‘They didn’t get taken out after taking a single slap each, right…?’Kali started to think that she had underestimated Henrik’s disciple.Footsteps were heard in the darkness. Everyone looked over.A man in a black robe, without any shoes, appeared. The man looked twenty-eight at most; he was a little short, with a smoky smell on him.“Is he from the South Sea?” Harvey muttered to himself.He didn’t think that the person who challenged the Outskirts Budokan was actually a man from there.Bryar frowned, not saying a word; he naturally knew that as well.“Ms. Kali! I heard that my master—your master said that you’re an outstanding disciple. Why are you mad now that I showed up? I’m sad!”The man walked over with a smile and sat in front of Ka
“You? Are you sure about that?”Ernie’s voice went deeper.“Don’t think that you can do whatever you please just because you’re a King of Arms! In my eyes, you have no right!”“Oh? You know that much?”Creed smiled.“Since that’s the case, you should convince Kali to not go against me. You people are nothing to me anyway!”Ernie’s face was dark, and he was about to talk back. However, Kali glared at him before signaling for him to shut up.“Do you really think that nobody from the outskirts’ branch can stand up against you?” she asked.Creed grinned. “I don’t think so. I know so!”Kali took a deep breath before making a gesture.“It’s up to you now, Isaac!”A figure slowly came out of the shadow. Everyone squinted, and saw a man in his forties. He seemed quite slim, but exuded a fierce aura.He nodded at Kali and walked to the middle of the room, then calmly stared right at Creed.“Isaac is my father’s long-time servant. After following my father for more than twenty year
Kali’s face darkened after hearing Creed’s words.Bryar glared coldly at Creed. He was one of the outskirts’ top ten talents, and also a disciple of the Carrion Palace… More importantly, he was into Kali as well.And yet, Creed had done nothing but demand her obedience.This was simply unforgivable to him!Bam!Bryar slammed his hand on the wooden table before standing up. A clear palm print was seen denting the table.“Alright!” Ernie stood, cheering in joy. The simple move was enough to show just how powerful Bryar was. Bryar wasn’t in a hurry, either. Everyone watched in excitement as he walked to the middle of the room, his arms crossed.“I am one of the outskirts’ top ten talents, Bryar Flynn. I’m also an outer disciple of the Carrion Palace. If you give up right now, I can consider keeping you alive!”“The Carrion Palace is impressive, but what’s an outer disciple going to do here?” Creed smirked. “At least I’d respect you a little if you told me you were a core discipl
Everyone looked over, their heads numb. Their hearts went cold, and their legs were on the verge of giving up.The top outer disciple of the Carrion Palace, one of the top talents of the outskirts, Bryar, was taken out.Creed’s face had slightly lost color, but his strength clearly wasn’t affected at all as he stood with his arms crossed.Bryar was filled with fear and anger for a long time, then chuckled bitterly.“If given time, you would’ve been close to a God of War after another decade of training! Impressive! I underestimated you!”“Close to a God of War? That’s not even my goal!” Creed exclaimed. “I’m here to replace the South Sea God of War! My goal is to be the only God of War left there!”Creed squinted, as if he were lecturing Bryar.“The outskirts is a land for savages; the place is completely uncivilized.“You people wouldn’t understand how vast the world actually is!“Even my master is already considered a hero in Chinatown!“Experts who are more impressive than
Kali squinted at Creed for a long time, before finally taking a deep breath.“If Uncle Henrik’s still this stubborn about my father breaking his arm back then, I’m willing to break mine as compensation.“However, only the capable can have the position of branch leader.“Uncle Henrik had already harbored ill intentions back then. He conspired with enemies of the outskirts and used Longmen’s authority to seize control over the place! This was why my father decided against his rise to power!“This has remained the same even now.“If you want to kill your way back here, then so be it! Longmen’s outskirts branch will not falter, even if there’s only one person left here!“As for our arranged marriage?”Kali’s expression was as cold as ice.“Over my dead body!”“Heh! I love stubborn women like you the most!”Creed smiled cruelly. He then raised Kali’s chin, licking his lips.“Do you think you have a chance to even die if I decide to break your limbs and lock you in a cage like a b
Creed had already shown that he was invincible.Normally speaking, anyone would kneel in front of him. And yet, someone still stood up to question him.Either that person was definitely capable of doing that, or he was simply delusional.No matter how Harvey appeared, he didn’t seem crazy at all. Creed couldn’t help but ask him the question after looking at him.Harvey glanced at Kali, completely ignoring Creed in the process.“Did you hear me, Ms. Kali? “As long as you can prove what you said was true… If you can show me that your father did that out of justice… I can send this monkey flying with a single slap.”Kali froze instantly; she couldn’t come to her senses to even give a reply.She hoped someone would be able to save the damsel in distress…But she understood clearly.Unless the monks of the three great temples come, nobody would be able to save her. She would probably drag Harvey into the situation if she decided to speak up.“Heh! Send me flying?! It’s been a wh
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Harvey hooked his finger in front of Creed.“Is that so? I’ll let you hit me first, then.”Creed’s face darkened instantly.‘This kid crossed the line! How dare he let a King of Arms make the first move? Does he want to die?!’Creed couldn’t be bothered to talk anymore. He took a step forward, pouncing right at Harvey.His speed was fast—a lot faster than when he fought Bryar. His goal was clear: to take out Harvey in a single hit!Slap!A loud sound was heard.Without giving the crowd a chance to react, a figure flew straight into the wall.“Guh!”Blood spurted out everywhere.‘One slap? One slap was enough?!’Everyone instantly froze after seeing it. The person slapped away was none other than the high and mighty expert—Creed himself!Nobody could tell how exactly he lost. Harvey casually removed his gloves, before casually sitting down and sipping his tea again.The smooth process was no less than horrifying to the others.“He took out a
Harvey rolled his eyes; he needed to be discreet. Everyone would know about his arrival if Kali reported the incident to headquarters.“You’re too kind, Ms. Kali,” Harvey smiled.“Every person has responsibility. This is the philosophy of a martial artist. Since America’s involved with the outskirts’ trouble, I have obligation to take responsibility.“That said, things won’t end here. You should interrogate him. See if you can find out more.“However, I wouldn’t want anyone else to know that I was here.”Harvey then calmly left with his arms crossed.Ernie and Bryar were shocked.‘This is the look of a true expert! He didn’t ask for a reward, nor was he prideful about it…’Kali froze as she looked at Harvey’s back; she seemed a little sluggish.-The next day.Harvey went to university as usual. He seemed completely invisible, even though he had already come for two days. Nobody bothered to talk to him, either.Billie, Judith, Aliza, and the others weren’t there, either.H
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
