Jeremiah knew that it was about time that person made a move. A loud sound resounded, and those patriarchs who had been targeting him initially immediately retreated. Their hearts constricted with fear. Still, when a man descended from the skies and punched the ground, a strong gust of wind shoved them all back. It forced them to raise their hands to protect themselves.This man was none other than the Ancient Warlord Marshal Fletcher. The same one Gustafson had fought in Capital City.‘He's strong!’ Nikolai, Yondeu, and the other patriarchs exclaimed internally.As patriarchs of their respective gentries, the eight of them were all of at least Super S-class warlords. While they were not as powerful as the Gods of War worldwide, they were certainly right after those Gods of War in terms of strength.Yet, the shock waves of Marshal's punch had left them all with numb hands from trying to defend themselves. That spoke volumes about how powerful Marshal was.“What a bunch of we

Quinton shouted to Gustavo, "He's playing with us! He's tiring us out, and when the time comes, we'll be as good as dead!" "Agreed." A strike scraped past Gustavo. "We should use our strongest move. We can win once he has an opening!" "Got it!" Quinton leaped up and stayed still. Then, he placed both fists beside his waist. Alkaid—the strongest move among all the skills only the Walkers' patriarch could learn. Ever since he learned it, Quinton had only used it twice.The first time had been against Fred during the Martial Arts Summit five years ago. The second time was now. While Gustavo leaned forward, and with one of his legs stepping forward, he slightly lifted so that only his toes were touching the ground and his heel was raised. This was the Hansens' unique skill—Shaking of Spirit Mountain. The kick was so strong it could apparently cause Spirit Mountain to shake."Charge!""Go!"In no time, the two of them had charged up. They dashed through the air toward Marsha

Marshal, however, had displayed tremendous power. He had defeated the five patriarchs and sent them to the ground heavily injured. Even when the strongest patriarchs, Quinton and Gustavo, worked together, Marshal had overwhelmed them with ease. Before Fred descended, all of them had thought that Marshal must be just as—if not more powerful—than Fred. Jeremiah and Josiah became more certain that they had done the right thing betraying this warlord world and siding with the Ancient Warlords.Yet, the truth was far from what they expected. All it took was a slap, and Fred had managed to send this powerful Ancient Warlord flying across. To say that they were shocked was an understatement. "You... I... What?!" Marshal was just as surprised. He made sure to avoid Fred when he first broke out, because of the huge reduction in strength. Thus, he did not think much of it when he lost to Gustafson. Marshal truly believed that once he regained his full power, there was no on

Those present were slightly stunned when they heard the enchanting woman's words. They clearly had not anticipated this turn of events."Let's hear it," Fred replied calmly after a moment of contemplation."It's actually quite simple!" The enchanting woman smiled. "Although Mr. Fletcher may seem like an ant in front of you, he's the right-hand man of Holy Emperor Howlite! I've explained the matter regarding the emperors to Mr. Jeremiah earlier, but I can repeat it for you now.""In the Ancient Martial World, we have a total of five Holy Emperors, namely Holy Emperor Howlite, Holy Emperor Agate, Holy Emperor Onyx, Holy Emperor Lazuli, and the most mysterious and powerful Holy Emperor Rhodium! "The five Holy Emperors are not only the most respected figures in the Ancient Martial World but also the five strongest individuals. More importantly, these five Holy Emperors have lived since ancient times. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them gods!"The enchanting woman smiled as sh

What was Seelie's purpose in delaying their time? Was she waiting for Marshal?It seemed unlikely as at this moment, Marshal had already been severely injured by Fred. Even if he managed to climb out of that deep pit, he definitely would not be a match for Fred.What about the brothers, Jeremiah and Josiah?Ever since Fred sent Marshal into the deep pit with a single palm, they had been trembling in fear with pale faces. They were clearly in no condition to be relied upon.If Marshal and Jeremiah were not the ones Seelie was waiting for, then who could it be? Was she expecting Ancient Warlords as reinforcements?Thinking this, Quinton immediately signaled to the rest of the family heads, who had already recovered by now, with his eyes. The message was crystal clear—be cautious and alert!Just then, there was a deafening roar accompanied by the ground shaking so intensely that everyone present was immediately caught off guard."What... What's happening?""Is it an earthquake?
