Semua Bab Last Man Standing: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Boom! The curved swords left devastation in their wake.Before the lesser-ranked martial general could even grasp what was happening, they were cleaved in two at the waist, their bodies tumbling to the ground in a gruesome display."You fools of the Dark Shady Cartel, you've sealed your fate!" The Judge's voice thundered, "Take them all out!""Roger that!" A chorus of a hundred Shadow Sect warriors responded, catching their spinning Cold Moon Sabers and surging forward to confront the remaining twenty-odd enemies.Screams tore through the air above the parking lot."Sir!" The Judge approached Howard. "These lowlifes just got to Mendorra. I got the word and came as fast as I could."Howard nodded, his gaze piercing the distance. "You two haven't joined the fight yet. Planning to run without a scratch?"He had sensed all along that two martial god-level adversaries were lying in wait."Ha, we of the Dark Shady Cartel don't even know the meaning of retreat!" An elder's voice rang

"Looking for trouble, Judge?" Hacks shot back, none too pleased."I might not be up to the task, but Dragon sure is. I'll call on Dragon to step in, and with just a hundred thousand Blood Shadow Force, we can take down Abatemarco in no time!"Abatemarco had a reputation for being a dark character, and the Shadow Sect alone might not have cut it against him. However, with the Blood Shadow Force on their side, it was a breeze.The Abatemarco guy was notorious for two things: his deadly poisons and his witchcraft. Aside from that, his martial arts skills were nothing to write home about.The Blood Shadow Force, on the other hand, was packed with folks who had some pretty unique talents, especially when it came to poisons and witchcraft.It was worth noting about the medics from the Western Region, including those from the Rectenwald sect. Some of them were the best poison masters in the land!"Fine, no one can outdo you in the shamelessness department," the Judge said with a shrug.

"Lukas, the Shadow Sect has really crossed the line this time. What gives you the right to take people?" Alec's gaze was fixed on Lukas as he spoke.Alec and Lukas were no strangers to each other, and Lukas was well aware of Alec's status. However, to Lukas, Alec might as well have been invisible, which really got under Alec's skin."And you are?" Lukas' voice was heavy with disdain. "Since when does the Shadow Sect have to report to you?""Lukas, a word of advice—don't get cocky. If trouble starts, not even your boss can save you," Alec shot back, his voice icy."Fool!" Lukas' eyes flashed with contempt as he pointed at Harlan. "You're really going to stand up for him?""Unless you've got a damn good reason, Harlan isn't going anywhere with you today!" Alec shouted back."The Shadow Sect doesn't need your permission to act!" With a flick of his wrist, Lukas revealed the gleaming Cold Moon Saber and began advancing on Harlan.Alec let out a sharp huff. "Mr. Bryant is a VIP of my

"Goodbye," Lukas said with a dismissive wave.With a roar of fury, Alec swung his arm out in a blind rage. A stone pillar nearby exploded into dust, sending a cloud billowing into the sky.He was on the edge of a furious meltdown.The Dark Shady Cartel dared to send an assassin after Master Howard!?He knew full well what Master Howard meant to the people of Ciolara. If anything happened to him, it would cause an uproar that would shake the heavens!Then, as the Shadow Sect sought to detain members of the Dark Shady Cartel over the Master Howard incident, his own interference could spell disaster if word got out in Ciolara.Worst of all, it was common knowledge that his boss had never seen eye-to-eye with Master Howard. In the hands of someone with a scheme, that could look like he was in cahoots with the Dark Shady Cartel, plotting to take out a high-ranking war official.At this point, he was even entertaining the thought of offing Lukas!All in a day's work.Every single on

"Howard, can you truly save Colton's leg?" Xever asked, his face alight with hope."Yes," Howard nodded, his smile unwavering as he produced a set of silver needles. "Mr. Colton Rhodes, just hang in there. It'll sting a bit, but it'll be quick.""If it means saving my leg, I can handle the pain," Colton declared, his voice laced with anticipation."Alright then," Howard agreed, and with a nod, he began the treatment on Colton's injured leg.10 minutes had passed when Howard, with practiced ease, applied the Ancient Refining Technique. His palm rested firmly on the man's knee, channeling a surge of core energy into the damaged limb.A soft grunt escaped Colton's lips as a brief grimace of pain flickered across his face. Thankfully, the discomfort was fleeting, quickly giving way to relief.What happened next left everyone in the room in awe. Colton's twisted right leg was visibly straightening, the swelling subsiding before their very eyes.A collective gasp filled the room, with
