Chapter 2561
At the doorway of two rooms stood two beautiful women: Luna and Valerie. One wore a calm and reserved expression, though her eyes kept stealing glances at him. The other, however, did not bother to hide the hostility burning in her gaze. She glared at Andrew like he was her enemy. "What are you two doing here?" Andrew felt a headache coming on as he stepped forward to ask. Luna replied, "I got injured and took time off. I heard Swordheaven Keep has a great view, so I came to check it out." Valerie sneered, "You didn't say a word before running off from Chetvine. Andrew, I'm your woman now. Where you go, I follow." Andrew frowned, about to scold this woman for spouting nonsense. However, Luna had already spoken first, her tone casual yet pointed, "Andrew, come with me for a moment. I've prepared some toiletries in my room so you can rest." Andrew smiled. "Sure. That sounds good. I'd like to soak my feet and get some proper sleep." Valerie crossed her arms and huffed. "Yo

Andrew shook his head. "Let's just take tomorrow off and wait for the Topsfield family to make the arrangements. Alfredo is a pillar of this nation, a peak figure in all of Etharia. Since we're the ones challenging them on their home turf, it's best if we follow his lead." Sheena scoffed. "Screw following his lead. I'm going to wreck him; it's that simple. Since we're already going to fight, why should I care about all that?" Andrew smiled bitterly, "Alright, I guess you've got a point there, Sheena." Walking into his room, Andrew took a shower. Then, he pulled out that blood-red Blood Pith. It was the crystallized essence of a martial arts master's blood from ancient times, formed through time, nature, and immense pressure. In today's world, Blood Pith was practically impossible to find except in forgotten battlefields buried by history. It was known as a rare treasure that could greatly enhance one's strength, but like everything powerful, it came with its own dangers. The

The words that had been on the tip of Jericho's tongue got stuck there. He stared blankly at Alfredo, wanting to ask, "Dad, do you even hear yourself right now?" Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "Dad, there's someone else who came with Sheena. Reginald's son, Andrew." Alfredo's hand froze mid-polish on the sword. "Interesting! Reginald's son, the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, inheritor of the Lloyd family ancestors' totem. He's supposedly even more outrageous than Sheena. "Back in the day, Reginald and I fought to a draw, or so people thought. In reality, I lost to him by half a move. And now, his son has come to my territory. Tell me, Jericho, how do you think I feel about that?" Jericho smiled, "Dad, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll make sure that Andrew pays a little price for it." Alfredo shook his head. "Do you really think I need to prove myself by picking on a kid? He's still young and hasn't even reached his full potential. To me, he's nothing worth mentioning.

As soon as Jericho left, Alfredo's sword, Firefly, trembled in his hand, letting out a clear whistling sound. Incredibly, it flew from his hand on its own and embedded itself into the scabbard on the wall. "Controlling a sword without touching it… That's a power only the ancient sword saints had." Half of Alfredo's face was hidden in the shadows, his tone low and amused. "A girl like her isn't a problem. Even if he fights with one hand, it won't make a difference." He raised his hand again and forcefully pulled at the wall. Firefly, along with its scabbard, whooshed back into Alfredo's hand in an instant. Then, the cabin door opened on its own without any wind. Alfredo's figure blurred like a shadow and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the clearing in front of the cabin. After a few flickers, he disappeared into Swordheaven Keep's forest. Without his sword, Alfredo could be killed. But with his sword in hand, no one on this land could defeat him. This w

Andrew's face was filled with uncertainty. He was not sure if Alfredo had already stepped into the level of a martial god. After all, Alfredo had already reached the final stage of the martial emperor level years ago. Although entering the martial god realm was a martial artist's greatest hurdle, no one could say for sure whether Alfredo had made progress over these years. "Damn it!" Andrew grumbled. It looked like he had no choice but to take the Blood Pith after all. The danger inside Swordhaven Keep was way higher than he had expected. With that in mind, he jumped down from the rooftop and went into his room. Then, he swallowed the blood-red Blood Pith in one gulp. Instantly, it felt like his entire body sank into a sea of blood. The burning and tearing sensations in his soul made him tremble uncontrollably until his legs gave out and he collapsed onto the floor. Then, everything went black. … The next day, Sheena knocked on the door. However, Andrew did not respond.

Meanwhile, Andrew's consciousness was in chaos. His body felt unbearably uncomfortable, as if it was tearing apart from the inside. He could feel two completely different streams of energy entering his body, merging with his own inner power and the Blood Pith's force; four energies raging through him at once. If it had been anyone else, their body would have exploded by now. However, Andrew was not like anyone else; his constitution was one in a million. Unseen by anyone, the Blood-Eyed Black Dragon mark on his chest began to glow faintly. As the Blood Pith's power circulated and was slowly absorbed, the glowing dragon mark on his chest shimmered brighter and brighter, burning with life. Neither Luna nor Valerie noticed it, though. Both women were drenched in sweat, not saying a word. They could feel that the situation had reached a critical point. The energy within their bodies, while already quite abundant, was just a trickle compared to the violent storm inside Andrew. Bot

Alfredo did not seem to care and simply smiled. "Alright then, let's get to business. The Lloyd family has two Dragons, and you're one of them. Tell me, are you really set on challenging me?" He chuckled softly. "My sword may be a fine whetstone, but Sheena, you should know that it comes with great risk. Sometimes, the risk isn't worth the reward." Sheena clasped her hands in respect. "Thank you for the warning, Mr. Topsfield Senior, but my decision is made. This battle will end with either life or death." Alfredo remained unmoved, still maintaining his indifferent demeanor. "May I ask why you'd come all the way from Chetvine just to challenge me? As far as I know, Chetvine has plenty of strong martial artists who could help refine your martial arts." Sheena replied, "It's simple. If I'm going to challenge someone, I'll go straight for the strongest, the most formidable. That's the only way to achieve my goal." Alfredo seemed slightly more interested, "As expected of someone

When Sheena returned to her quarters, she was completely stunned. Andrew's room was a wreck. The furniture was overturned, and the air was thick with heat and tension. Luna and Valerie were sprawled unconscious on the floor, while Andrew sat cross-legged on the bed, his body radiating intense heat like a furnace. "Sheena, you're back!" Andrew rasped hoarsely, forcing a faint smile despite the strain on his voice. Sheena asked, "What happened? What's wrong with you? And why are those two unconscious?" Andrew winced slightly in pain as he smiled bitterly, "They both depleted too much energy. After I woke up, I forcibly pushed them away, which caused them to pass out. As for me, well, I was careless." Sheena stepped forward and checked on him, her expression grave. "Andrew, the energy inside your body is getting more violent. This energy is so massive and abundant, it's almost unbelievable. What did you eat or absorb?" Andrew said helplessly, "Last night, I ate a piece of B

At that moment, Sheena was in perfect condition; her energy, focus, and state of mind were all at their peak. She had been preparing for this ever since half a month ago in Chetvine and had maintained complete balance throughout the journey, not allowing even the slightest disruption. It was all to ensure that she could face Alfredo in her absolute best form. If she were to help Andrew now, that balance would shatter completely. With a low growl, Andrew suddenly sprang from the bed. Startled, Sheena exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Andrew stumbled toward the door, breathing heavily. "Sheena, look after Luna and Valerie. Stay with them until they wake up. I'm fine… I just need to cool myself down somewhere." Andrew burst out the door, not looking where he was going, heading straight for some unknown part of Swordheaven Keep. Right now, he needed to put out this fire inside him. The most suitable thing was to find a place with water. The burning sensation in his head inten

This time, Andrew was completely sure that something was happening on the other side of the woods. Just as that thought crossed his mind, the wind roared through the forest, followed by two sharp, commanding shouts. "You damn demon, stop right there!" "Tonight will be your last night alive!" A demon? Before Andrew could even process that, a shadow streaked across the night sky like a falling star. He caught a glimpse of a face so breathtaking that it was almost surreal. Then, a dark figure crashed into the lake with a loud splash, not far from where he stood. Bubbles rose to the surface, then slowly faded as the ripples settled. For a brief moment, Andrew froze. The woman in black had an almost mesmerizing aura. She looked oddly familiar, yet no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall where he might have seen her before. Before he could think further, two loud blasts echoed through the forest. Immediately after, two figures shot out from the trees, riding on burs
