Chapter 279
“From this moment on, the Demon Fangs are finished.”Krul lifted his head from the wreckage of shattered stone and timber beneath him. His eyes fixed on Lein, but there was nothing left of the feared leader who had terrorized the entire region. His lips moved, trying to form words that might have become a final plea.He never got the chance to finish.Lein’s foot came down on his face with full force.KRAK.Krul Ashgor’s body went completely still. His head no longer resembled what it should have been.Lein pulled his foot back, straightened his shirt with one hand, and walked out of the ruins of the headquarters with the same calm stride he had entered with that morning. Nothing about him suggested that he had just destroyed the most feared criminal organization in the region. He looked more like a man who had simply finished a brief stroll.A single thought formed clearly in his mind.This was only one.Out there, during the two years he still had before the tournament began, there

"SHUT UP, BASTARD!"The massive sword rose again, and this time Krul did not bother measuring the distance properly.The slash came from the left, horizontal, powerful enough to split a support pillar in half if one had been in its path.Lein stepped back half a pace. The blade swept past his chest with no more than a hand's breadth to spare.Krul spun his body, turning the momentum of that swing directly into a slash from the right.Lein ducked.The sword passed over his head, close enough for the pressure of the air to stir his hair.Krul did not stop. He raised the sword high above his head, both hands gripping the hilt now, and brought it down with every ounce of strength he possessed, a strike designed to split an opponent from head to waist.Lein stepped aside.The sword struck the floor for the second time, driving even deeper than before. Cracks spread farther across the room in every direction.Krul ripped the blade free with a violent jerk, spun, and attacked again from the

The knock on Krul Ashgor's door did not sound like a normal knock.It was rapid and uneven—the kind of knocking from someone who had forgotten how to be polite because their mind was entirely occupied elsewhere.Krul, who was still seated on his sofa, rose to his feet with an expression already prepared for anger before the door had even opened.He opened it himself.The man standing outside, one of the fifty he had dispatched the previous night, was pale, his breathing unsteady."Boss." His words came out in a rush, too hurried to be properly organized. "Everyone... everyone lost. That explorer is here now, at the headquarters!"Krul stood still for a second."Everyone... lost?"The fifty men he had sent out the previous night—he could have accepted it if they had returned empty-handed. They were not the core strength of the Demon Fang.But Dren Skarr. Vera Khal. Dovan Reck.The Three Elites who had spent years building the reputation that made the name Demon Fang feared throughout t

Lein sensed them before he saw them.Forty aura signatures moving through the Varkaan Forest from the west. Not particularly fast—the pace of people traveling in a large group, unable to completely conceal the presence of so many individuals gathered in one place.He ran toward them.There was no reason to wait for them to come.They met between two massive Ironcrown trees, in a clearing wide enough for forty people to stand, but not spacious enough for all of them to move freely.They saw Lein approaching from the front.Several of those at the front instinctively slowed down, the natural reaction of people carried forward by the momentum of a group suddenly encountering something they had not expected.Lein did not slow down.He plunged straight into the first line.No spiritual energy radiated from him. Only his body, momentum, and reflexes sharpened for far too long to be called mere training.His right elbow smashed upward into the jaw of the man at the front. The man's head snap
Chapter 275
Vera did not come at him with a single attack.She came with everything she had.Her axe swept from left to right in a horizontal arc powerful enough to split two ordinary trees in half if they had stood in its path. Lein took a single step backward, and the blade passed across his chest close enough for him to feel the pressure of it, yet it never touched the fabric of his shirt.Vera spun, using the momentum of the previous swing to transition immediately into a diagonal strike from above.Lein tilted his head to the right.The blade sliced past his left ear and crashed into a tree root behind him, cutting through a third of its thickness in a single blow.Vera did not stop.The axe rose again, this time from below, carrying soil and fragments of the shattered root upward in a motion that left no time to breathe between attacks.Lein jumped.He passed over the axe, landed on a higher root beside him, and steadied himself.Vera followed.One strike after another.And another.And ano

Dovan shot forward at the speed of a Peak Star Realm cultivator.His dagger was already in a thrusting position, aimed directly at the center of Lein’s chest. The distance between the tip of the blade and its target left almost no room for error.Then suddenly, Lein took a single step backward.Dovan passed right by him.He came to a stop three meters ahead, turned around, and stared at the empty space where his target should have been.One step. Just one step backward. And an attack launched at full speed had struck nothing but air.Dovan did not move immediately. Calculations were already running through his mind.The speed of that single step was equal to—or perhaps even greater than—his own. It was not a forced reaction. It was not a lucky guess. It was a precise read and an economical response. This man had seen the attack clearly enough to choose not to block, not to counterattack, but simply to evade with the minimum possible effort.That meant only one thing: if speed alone wa
