Kael grabbed the old man's hair again, roughly lifting his head.His face covered with dirt, blood, and tears looked at Kael with a gaze full of fear and despair.Then...CRACK!!!Kael broke the old man's right index finger with a very quick movement."AAARRRGGHHHH!!!" the old man screamed in a very terrifying voice.CRACK!!!Middle finger."GHHHHAAAAKKK!!!"CRACK!!!Ring finger."HELP! PLEASE! STOP!"CRACK!!!Pinky finger."AAAHHHHH!!!"CRACK!!!Thumb.All the fingers on the old man's right hand were broken—bent in unnatural directions—bones protruding from the skin.The old man cried very loudly, his tears flowing heavily, saliva mixed with blood flowing from his mouth."PLEASE...

ETERNAL SHADOW SWORD SECT PAVILION - RIGHTEOUS DRAGON SECT TERRITORYThe pavilion was located in a fairly remote area, surrounded by dense bamboo trees. Its building was black with red sword ornaments decorating every corner—reflecting the identity of the Eternal Shadow Sword Sect.Inside the pavilion, seven people sat casually.In the center sat an old man with a very strong aura—Jian Wuying, leader of the Eternal Shadow Sword Sect. His white hair was tied neatly back, his long beard silvery white. His face was wrinkled but his eyes were sharp as a sword, full of hundreds of years of cultivation experience. His aura created strong pressure even though he was sitting casually—the aura of a first-level Divine Realm cultivator.Beside him sat a young man with a very pale face and empty eyes—Wei Longhen. Both his arms were gone, only shoulders remained covered with bandages. His aura that was once strong was now very weak, barely perceptible. His dantian had been destroyed, and he would

The public area of the Righteous Dragon Sect was a very spacious place—a large plaza surrounded by pavilions from various sects participating in the Grand Tournament.In the center of the plaza stood a large fountain with a dragon statue spouting water into the air. Willow trees surrounded the area, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere.Many cultivators from various sects gathered there—chatting, discussing, or simply walking around while enjoying the atmosphere.But that peaceful atmosphere...Suddenly changed.WHOOOOSSHHH!!!A young man in white robes stained with blood floated down from the sky, landing gracefully in the center of the plaza.Kael.His eyes, now silver, shone with very cold light.His aura... calm. Controlled. No conspicuous spiritual energy explosions.But there was something in his gaze that made anyone who saw it feel uncomfortable.And most terrifying...In his left hand, he gripped the hair of four heads.Four heads still fresh, blood still dripping from sev

Kael looked at Long Tianshi with a very calm gaze, yet full of unwavering determination.His voice came out—calm, respectful, yet firm."Please don't block me, Leader," he said in a very serious tone. "I only want to destroy those involved in Tu Feng's death!"He looked at the four heads in his hand for a moment, then looked back at Long Tianshi."However, if you insist, then I have no choice but to fight you!"The entire plaza immediately fell silent.All eyes widened with tremendous disbelief."Did... did he just say he'll fight Leader Long Tianshi?!" someone whispered in a very trembling voice."He... he wants to fight the strongest person in the martial world?!""HAS HE GONE CRAZY?!""Even if he's tenth-level Eternal Realm, Leader Long Tianshi is third-level Divine Realm! The power difference is too great!""He won't have a chance!"The crowd whispered in very loud voices, full of disbelief and fear.Meanwhile, Long Tianshi looked at Kael with a very serious, very deep gaze.He se

Kael looked at Jian Wuying with a cold gaze.Upon hearing that Jian Wuying was the mastermind behind Tu Feng's death...The anger already burning inside him grew even greater.His silver eyes shone with very terrifying light.Tremendous killing intent exploded from his body, creating an aura that made everyone around him shudder."I also agree," he said in a calm tone, yet every word full of uncontainable killing intent.He looked at Jian Wuying with a sharp gaze."I swear, I will kill you and avenge Tu Feng's death."He raised the four heads in his hand slightly higher."Your head... will join them."Silence for a few moments, before finally the crowd fell into commotion."They agreed!""A duel to the death between Li Xin and Jian Wuying!""Tenth-level Eternal Realm against first-level Divine Realm!""This will be an extraordinary battle!"Among the crowd, Mu Qingya looked at Kael with a very worried gaze, her hands gripping her chest tightly."Li Xin... are you really going to fight
