Chapter 1403


    Pris roared.


    He could not ept such a result.


    If he had been defeated by Koehler Keyes or even the Vampire n’s First Blood Emperor, he would


    have admitted defeat gracefully.


    However, he was defeated by an impudent brat. Pris felt humiliated.


    As he roared, he waved the staff in his hand, which swirled up a powerful force. Then, he struck James’


    head with great force.


    James’ face darkened, and he hurriedly took a few steps back. In an instant, he was a few meters


    away. Lifting the de of Justice, he shed the sword.


    The de of Justice shed with the staff.


    James was above, while Pris was holding the staff high up to withstand James’ pressure. As James’


    force was great, Pris was slowly being pushed downward.


    ck!


    After descending for a few meters, the staff snapped into two.


    Pris was injured by the terrifying Sword Energy that burst forward. Like a stringless kite, he crashed


    into the ground.

    The earth shook. Half of his body was buried in deep snow as he simplyy on the ground motionless.


    The crowd fell silent.


    James sheathed the de of Justice and descended from the sky,nding steadily on the ground.


    Looking at Pris who vomited a mouthful of blood, he walked over to him and looked down at him


    from above, “You are far weaker than I am. You would have been dead if not for me going easy on


    you.”


    “You… Blergh!”


    Enraged, Pris vomited a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.


    James paid no attention to the unconscious Pris and simply turned to leave. He found a secluded


    spot and sat in a lotus position.


    A few Pris Sect martial artists hurriedly dragged Pris out of the snow and brought him


    somewhere else to heal his injuries. Though the battle seemed dull, it was a battle between the most


    powerful martial artists in the world.


    Holding Excalibur in his hand, Koehler slowly walked to the middle and scanned his surroundings. His


    gaze remained fixed on James for a few seconds before he turned to look at the crowd, “As expected


    of an ancient martial artist from Sol! What an eye-opening battle that was! James’ battle against


    Archbishop Pris marks the opening of the International Martial Arts Conference. Feel free to


    challenge anyone you like.”


    Koehler’s voice boomed throughout Mount Olympus.


    Immediately, someone stepped forward to challenge the martial artists on the Elysian Ranking.


    James did not concern himself with the battles that ensued.


    He did not leave but instead waited for Pris to regain consciousness. He wanted to ask him to


    investigate Delh’s whereabouts. At the same time, he was curious to see what Lucjan was up to. Not


    only that, he wanted to see how powerful the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect was and how the sect


    managed to sweep through the ancient martial world in just two short months.


    Many unknown people challenged the martial artists on the Elysian Ranking.


    Some emerged victorious, while some were defeated.


    The defeated were removed from the ranking while the victors’ names were listed in their ce.


    James observed the battlefield intently. Solean martial arts were wildly different from their foreign


    counterparts. Thetter was strange and unpredictable. Just as he was preupied with his thoughts,


    al voice came.


    “Not bad, kid…”


    He turned his head.


    A person had appeared on the rock beside him out of nowhere.


    The man was wearing a ck overcoat and had short hair. A silver mask covered half of his face.


    However, James could recognize him from his voice.


    “Why are you here? I thought you weren’ting.”


    “I was concerned after hearing that Lucjan is here. That’s why I came.”
