“It wasn’t me!”The moment Taron saw Lads collapse, he immediately stepped back and explained himself. He knew exactly how dangerous Nico was.The reputation of the man once considered the most terrifying martial artist in California’s underground world was not built on empty rumors. The dead otherworldly beast lying nearby was proof enough of the kind of power Nico possessed.Taron’s instincts screamed that Nico now had murderous intent toward him. The reason was obvious. Lads had been someone Taron brought with him, and now Lads had suddenly launched a mental attack against Hudson.From Nico’s perspective, that alone was enough to make him suspicious.“Retreat!”As Taron noticed the blood on the ground beginning to tremble and gather, he immediately sensed Nico’s killing intent growing stronger.Without another word, he abandoned the otherworldly beast and unleashed his full power, rushing toward the exit.Nico was once a man who had stood at the very edge of becoming a Martial God.

Everyone’s attention was fixed on the area beneath Nico’s fist.The otherworldly beast that had taken the punch didn’t immediately collapse. It remained standing, its massive head held high as it glared furiously at Nico, as though it had withstood the blow without suffering any serious damage.It wasn’t dead?Hudson’s brows drew together. Something about this didn’t feel right.Although Nico’s punch hadn’t created much of a spectacle, the power behind it was immense. Hudson estimated that it was roughly equal to the destructive force of the red talisman Taron had used earlier to break the formation.Nico still hadn’t fully recovered his strength, but he had once been a being comparable to a Martial God. Even in his weakened state, he could gather his remaining power and unleash an attack far beyond what an ordinary Grandmaster could withstand.This punch had been prepared specifically for the otherworldly beast.It was meant to kill it.For several seconds, nothing happened. Then a h

Severed limbs flew through the air as blood splattered across the floor and walls.Earlier, the pseudo-Grandmasters and supernatural warriors had been driven by sheer madness. They had charged forward without the slightest fear of death, throwing themselves into the battle one after another. But everything changed once the otherworldly beast locked onto Hudson.Hudson had been using the creature like a weapon, leading it through the crowd and forcing it to tear through anyone standing in his way. By constantly luring the beast toward the surrounding enemies and then slipping away at the last second, he turned the creature into a nightmare for everyone else.Their morale collapsed completely.Otherworldly beasts were naturally violent creatures. This one was determined to devour Hudson, yet he was as elusive as a mouse, constantly slipping away whenever it tried to catch him and deliberately weaving through the densest groups of people.The pseudo-Grandmasters and supernatural warriors

Hudson sneered and replied disdainfully, "The one hiding this whole time is you, not me.""Besides, if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."His eyes turned cold."So you'd better keep hiding. Otherwise, I'll kill you again."The men Crane had prepared began pouring out from the surrounding passages.There were far more of them than Hudson had expected. They were all pseudo-Grandmasters and supernatural martial artists, and they seemed almost endless as they continued emerging from the depths of the tunnels.Within moments, the spacious underground hall became crowded with people. They spread out in every direction, completely surrounding Hudson, Nico, Taron, Jonjae, and the others."Hmph!"Crane's voice came through the speakers again."I'll be waiting for you.""The only question is whether you'll still be alive when you get out of here."After saying that, Crane gave his final order."Kill them all!""Kill!"A deafening roar erupted from the crowd.The entire hall des

A thin white mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere. At first, no one paid much attention to it. It looked harmless, barely more than a faint layer of fog drifting through the underground hall. But the moment a strand of the white mist touched Lads's protective barrier, a sharp sizzling sound suddenly rang out.The barrier formed from true energy began to corrode almost instantly. It was like steel being exposed to concentrated acid, the surface rapidly weakening under the white mist.Lads's expression changed. He hurriedly poured more true energy into the barrier, reinforcing it before the corrosive mist could completely eat through it.The sight immediately put Taron, Jonjae, and the others on alert.They quickly looked around, trying to determine where the white mist was coming from.Hudson's eyebrows twitched. He didn't dare take any chances.Since he wasn't certain whether his armor could withstand the corrosive effect, he immediately released his own protective barrier around his

Ever since Hudson first came into contact with Taron, there had been one question he couldn't get out of his mind.What level of strength had this highly respected old man from the White Night Sect actually reached?Taron's methods were too unusual. His ability to conceal his aura was especially strange, making it nearly impossible for Hudson to determine his true level. Even after spending so much time around him, Hudson had never been able to see through him completely.But now, everything had become clear. The Taron standing before them was his true form.An eighth-level Grandmaster. Hudson's eyes narrowed. He suddenly realized that Taron had deliberately concealed his true strength all this time. And now, he had finally revealed it.It wasn't simply an act of showing off.Taron was sending a warning. He was silently reminding both Hudson and Nico not to act recklessly.Nico might have once been one of the most feared figures in the old martial world, a man who had even stood at th
