Janaka's breath was becoming increasingly erratic; his long-range attacks were proving ineffective and draining his inner energy rapidly. Fortunately, Karya still possessed a reserve of inner power and quickly channeled it into his companion's body to revitalize him."He's incredibly difficult to overcome, Karya... We've tried every tactic we know, yet we're the ones on the defensive," Janaka said, his gaze fixed on the Lightning Sword with its bright blue aura."You're right. I believe that sword is the source of his strength. If we could seize it, we might stand a chance of defeating him," Karya replied, gently pressing on Janaka's shoulder to infuse him with inner energy.Jalu fixed the two dark arts warriors with a piercing stare. He twirled his sword, pointing the blade downwards. "Just surrender, acknowledge me as your leader, and I will spare your lives!"The two old men glared at Jalu with intense hatred. Those words, which reignited their fury, had just been uttered by the ha

The plumes of smoke that enveloped the interior of the Black Centipede Sect slowly dissipated. Jalu was seen walking with a faint grin toward Ki Pranasuta. There were no signs that the handsome youth was injured or affected by the previous impact."Impossible...!" Ki Pranasuta exclaimed after seeing Jalu was still in good condition. He never imagined that his signature move would have no effect on the youth. As far as he knew, even if it could be blocked, his poisonous technique would still have adverse effects."Don't you have any other, more dangerous moves than that?" Jalu scoffed after stopping a few steps in front of Ki Pranasuta.The leader of the Black Centipede Sect was silent, unable to speak. His voice seemed to catch in his throat, unsure of what to say. Shame and pain in his forearm mingled into one."Why are you so quiet? Where's that big mouth you were so proud of earlier?"Jalu then drew the Lightning Sword that hung on his back and pointed it at Ki Pranasuta, "Do you w

Sanjaya, realizing that his strongest technique was unable to harm Jalu in the slightest, finally became frightened. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent whose strength he could not measure. It was not impossible that in the next few years, the martial world would truly be under the control of the handsome youth, he thought."Damn it, even my strongest technique couldn't hurt him!"Sanjaya swallowed nervously. His eyes darted around wildly, searching for a way to survive. His gaze scanned here and there, looking for an opportunity to escape. He didn't care about the shame he would suffer if he fled from that place. His life was far more important than a mere wounded ego.In the blink of an eye, the White Eagle Sect leader suddenly ran off, using his lightness skill.However, Sanjaya's attempt to escape from that place seemed futile. Jalu, who already knew the man's intention to flee, had prepared an attack to finish him off."It's no use running!" Jalu shouted before

Ki Ageng Suryajaya's attacks became faster than before. With more than half of his power, he was sure that the youth who was his opponent this time would be rendered helpless. But unfortunately, all he received was bitterness because his attacks could still be matched by Jalu.Meanwhile, Ki Pranasuta, who had to face more than a hundred members of the Single Sword Sect, was struggling terribly. Although the opponents he faced, if measured by individual ability, were far below him, because of their large numbers and attacks coming from all sides, he had to use his heirloom weapon to fight back.There was a little regret in his heart when he had to face so many opponents at one time. In his opinion, he would rather choose to fight against Ki Ageng Suryajaya, even though his ability was slightly below the Single Sword Sect leader.In addition, if he had not tried to take advantage of Jalu's strength to also control the martial world, he would not have had to experience such a difficult t

Jalu stared coldly at the point of the explosion that had just occurred. His breath rushed out strongly to release the burden on his chest.At the same time, the fight that occurred between Ki Pranasuta and the members of the Single Sword Sect turned out to end with death experienced by the Black Centipede Sect leader. He was unable to withstand the attacks that continued to bombard his defense.Seeing that their leader had died at the hands of the young warrior, the Single Sword Sect members, who were actually exhausted after facing Ki Pranasuta's resistance, chose to surrender. They did not want to die in vain. The Single Sword Sect leader had died at the hands of the young warrior, let alone them, who were only members.Jalu walked closer to the approximately thirty remaining members of the Single Sword Sect. His gaze was so cold and flat, intimidating the deepest side of fear from the people in front of him."If you didn't choose to fight and wanted to acknowledge me as the strong
