“You’re really lucky, Philip. This is the first time I’ve encountered such sharp sword intent,” Herman said. Until now, he still could not believe that he did not stop Philip's sword intent. “Haha, Guild Master Herman, you’re too kind. Not only can this sword energy of mine injure people’s bodies but also their souls. It’s a pity that I’m not proficient at it yet,” Philip said with a chuckle. Herman said, “Philip, if you don’t mind, just call me Herman. Let’s sit down and have a chat.” “Sure,” Philip said obligingly. After the two sat down, Herman was the first to say, “You should be here for the blackout zone too.” “Haha, it was a coincidence that I discovered the blackout zone right after I arrived here, so I want to go in and have a look. As the local here, you must have a way, Herman,” Philip said with a smile without revealing his true purpose of entering the blackout zone at all. “Haha, you’re a straightforward young man, Philip, so I won’t beat around the bush,” He
When that happened, Philip’s strength would reach terrifying heights, and he could even go up against powerhouses at the late stage or peak of nine stars. Right now, Philip had not comprehended the laws of flame and was no match for a powerhouse at the peak of nine stars at all. Philip looked at the seven or eight bones with the laws of flame around him and sensed the power in each of them one by one. In fact, it was a qualitative improvement from the power of rules to the power of laws. During the power of rules, the flame had only one attribute, which was destruction, but after reaching the power of laws, various elements had different directions. Even the laws of flames had variations, such as destruction, incineration, high temperature, healing, exorcizing evil, and so on. The laws of wind could have speed, destruction, and annihilation. Thus, Philip had to figure out his laws of flame and which direction to improve so that he could better comprehend them. In the end,
“Haha, Guild Master Herman, we were just kidding. Don't take it seriously.” Although the man said so, there was disdain in his eyes. Herman ignored him. He walked up to Philip and said with a smile, “Hey, Philip, you’re here. We’ll enter the blackout zone later.” Philip also said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to you that I can experience this, Herman.” Just as Philip finished speaking, an uncanny voice said, “Guild Master Herman, who is this arrogant person? You actually need to greet him in person.” “Yeah, Guild Master Herman. Why don’t you introduce us? Let’s see if he really has what it takes.” Hearing the two voices, Herman sneered and said, “Come on, Philip. Let me introduce you. “This is Murray from the god-demon battlefield, Yanni from the battlefield of gods, and Oberon from the battlefield of beasts.” Herman pointed to the three leaders and introduced them. The ones who spoke were Murray and Yanni. However, the one who left the deepest impression on Philip w
Herman was surprised that Philip would give Oberon such a high evaluation. Of the four ancient battlefields, the battlefield of beasts was the cruelest and with the highest overall strength, but they never had a decent expert. Hearing Philip's remark, Herman looked at Oberon but did not notice anything. Another quarter of an hour passed before the compass in Herman’s hand hummed. Herman got up and said, “Get ready, the entrance is here.” Everyone got ready to enter the blackout zone. Energy gushed from Herman’s body, and a huge pattern appeared in the air. When the pattern disappeared into the yellow sand, a huge cave hole that looked like a man-eating beast appeared where they stood. Herman yelled, “Let’s go.” Everyone jumped into the entrance of the cave one after another. A brief moment later, the hole disappeared and yellow sand filled the space again as if nothing had appeared. After entering the hole, Philip found himself falling. After an unknown amount of time, he
The two flames kept burning in Philip as if fighting each other. One flame wanted to protect Philip while the other wanted to destroy him. For a brief moment, Philip found the chance to enter the laws of flame. Philip walked to the center of the pontoon bridge without hesitation. When he got there, Philip discovered that the flames actually came from the magma. Two stone pillars in the center of the bridge penetrated deep into the magma, constantly drawing flames from it, and the flames were extremely pure. Philip said, “Stand guard around me. I want to break through here.” Golda and Ember nodded, and Philip sat cross-legged in the center of the pontoon. The flames on his body exploded, and he looked like a burning man. As the flames from the magma poured into Philip’s body through the two stone pillars, Philip felt as if he was in a sea of flames with pain spreading all over his body. The sweat on his forehead evaporated the moment it formed. Amid the pain, Philip gr
The moment Philip came into contact with it, he felt a powerful force that sent him flying, and his blood began to surge. Golda and Ember sprang into action and attacked the two statues. Philip looked at the two statues with a slight frown. He could not help the strange feeling that the two statues were like puppets and that someone was manipulating them. Watching the battle in the temple, Philip also found that as time passed, Golda and Ember fell into a disadvantage, so Philip’s soul power gushed out. He inspected the two statues with his soul power and finally discovered the abnormality. There was a strange pattern on the backs of the two statues. With every move they made, the pattern would emit a faint light. Although it disappeared in a flash, Philip still noticed it. Philip promptly took action. In an instant, he appeared behind the two statues. Flames surged in his hands, and he hit the patterns on the backs of the two. Boom! After a loud noise, the two huge sta
Seeing the attack, Philip murmured, “As expected of something with three heads and six arms.” As the powerful attack approached, Philip yelled, “Chimera God Fist.” With one punch, the energy in Philip's body seemed to be drained, and energy fluctuations filled the space. The huge fist shadow turned into a huge fire chimera, roaring in the space. The fire chimera loomed in the temple and rushed toward the six attacks. Rumble! After a loud noise, the temple returned to calm. The energy storm also disappeared, as did the fire chimera and the six attacks. Only Philip and the statue remained in the temple. Seeing that its attack had disappeared, the three-headed statue sprayed three flames at Philip. Seeing this scene, Philip smiled. The flames were the same source as the flames on the pontoon bridge, which was the magma under his feet. Seeing the three approaching flames, Philip did not dodge but allowed the flames to burn his body. Philip was unscathed, and not even hi
Yanni’s attack quickly followed. Without any rush, Philip’s flames enveloped the two of them. Blue armor suddenly appeared on Murray’s and Yanni's bodies, which made it difficult for Philip's flames to penetrate. Philip said coldly, “It seems that you have a lot of treasures too.” After saying that, Philip’s hands waved around, and Splitting Sword Technique appeared in his mind. Hundreds of splitting sword intent appeared in front of Philip, and sword cries filled the space. The splitting sword intent turned into two beams of light and attacked Murray and Yanni. Bang, boom! After a loud noise, Yanni and Murray fell to the ground. Their faces were extremely pale, and there were huge wounds made by the sword on their chests. “Impossible. What sword technique is this? It’s so sharp,” Murray said in disbelief, while Yanni was more severely injured. Philip appeared in front of them. The flames in his hands surged and hit them. Yanni looked at Philip coldly and said, “Do
“Get ready. I’ll bring you along to break the barriers later. I believe it won’t be difficult for you to sneak inside.” Adam and Carlos decided to enter the place for a look. No matter what, they had to figure out the situation. No one wanted to cause trouble for no reason. “Since you've decided to go in, I’ll break the barrier for you.” The mayor’s residence was full of barriers. One wrong move and they would be in trouble. Adam and Carlos were surprised to hear Philip’s remark. No one expected to find barriers in this place. “What?” Carlos exclaimed in surprise. “I sense something wrong with this place. We may encounter an accident if we’re not careful.” Adam was better at such things and expressed his helplessness at this scene. “Are you sure you can handle it?” Adam asked cautiously. He was not familiar with this area. Although his practice level was high, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Things like making pills or setting up formations were unknown to him.
Although the city belonged to the lark people, they generally allowed people from other families to reside there. This old woman was obviously not one of the lark people, so she was quite emotional about such things. “This member of the lark family is very powerful with a high status, not someone ordinary people like us can speak about.” Although she said so, she still told Adam everything she knew, catching all his attention. “This is fascinating.” It never occurred to Adam that the person getting married would be the woman he had been thinking about. He just simply thought that it was an event worth celebrating. “Do you know what the woman looks like? Can you describe her appearance to us? I’m quite curious about it,” Philip said with an expectant chuckle. The old woman described the bride’s appearance, but her description was not very credible. She simply said that the bride was very beautiful. “The bride has a bad reputation. It seemed that she went missing for a wh
Renee felt helpless at Carlos’ jibe. He was insufferable. Philip frowned at their brainless banter. “Cut the crap. Don't you see that everyone around you is eavesdropping on you? One wrong word and you’ll expose yourselves.” Visitors were welcomed in this city, but they treated outsiders with caution and would never let them stay for no reason. “I have to say that the lark people are really rich and influential to own such a large city. They must've been around for thousands of years,” Adam said with relief. In his opinion, his lover seemed more mysterious now, most probably the daughter of a big family. He felt like he had won the affection of a rich woman. “In that case, it's even harder for you to marry into a wealthy family. They have very strict requirements for their sons-in-law, and you’ll most likely end up being inferior to a woman. That’s not a good thing.” Carlos shook his head helplessly. They had seen many such cases and knew about the mess. Adam ignored Ca
“You have to believe that the people of this family don’t value feelings at all. Those things are worthless to them.” Renee had been dealing with them for a long time. She knew them very well and hated their behavior. In their opinion, nothing was more important than themselves. They would only cause trouble for others and never value feelings. “No one can say for sure what will happen. Maybe after our relationship, Ashley has changed her mind and decided to be with me.” Adam was still hopeful. In his opinion, he had a chance to win Ashley back. “Since you don't want to believe me, let's give it a try. I want to see how this infamous family will treat you.” Renee arrived in disguise. Since Renee had a big conflict with the lark people, she had to disguise herself. Philip was very good in this area and turned Renee into another person, making sure that no one would recognize her. Adam did not change his looks. He was very satisfied with his appearance and could not wait to
The spokesperson was the grandmaster of the lark people, and he suffered a great blow. After much deliberation, he finally decided to deal with this matter properly. The woman who had embarrassed the lark people had to die. He had thought they could get rid of the woman easily, but she was very good at hiding. Now that so many years had passed, he was no longer keen on pursuing the matter anymore. Unexpectedly, someone used this incident to mock his family today. This time, he vowed to get rid of that woman even if he had to deploy all the forces of the family. At least, they could not allow the reputation of the lark people to be tarnished. “Send someone to find the whereabouts of that woman. You have to capture her alive at all costs. I want to execute her in public,” he ordered his shadow guards to take action. No matter what, the lark people had to right the wrong. The scouts of the lark people quickly got to work. As professionals, they knew what to do. Renee had been
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
