Chapter 1459


    Everything happened because the Mount Thunder Sect had the Spiritual Art manual.


    “What’s going on?” James tried to get a handle on the situation.


    Unfortunately, it seemed that Diney hadpletely tuned him out. At that moment, she was entirely


    focused on Tapio.


    “Diney, we answer to different masters now. There’s no turning back anymore. You shouldn’t stay


    here. Go, get off this mountain if you know what’s good for you,” Tapio gently warned her.


    “What do you mean different masters? Who’s your master, Tapio?! You’re a disciple of Mount Thunder


    Sect, you…” In response to his warning, Diney fumed at his indifferent attitude.


    “You impertinent child!” Diney’s words seemed to have struck a nerve with Tapio and he roared


    furiously at her.


    With a sh, he appeared in front of Diney. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground.


    Diney never had a chance to respond to his blinding speed.


    This move took even James by surprise.


    Judging by his opponent’s speed, he was at least an eighth-rank grandmaster.


    That would be the only exnation for his explosive burst of speed.


    James did not immediately react to this because he was still confused by the situation.


    He was unsure of the rtionship between Diney and the challenger since he heard her address


    him as her brother.


    Tapio held a vice grip over Diney’s neck, and her face turned red instantly. Mustering all her


    strength, she croaked out her words with great difficulty. “T-Tapio, there’s still a chance for you to turn


    back. Spiritual Art is evil. There’s a reason why dad refused to hand it to you. Cough…cough…”


    She began to cough and sputter.


    James felt concerned that Diney would end up dying and stepped forward to intervene. “I’m the one


    you sent the letter to. She has nothing to do with our duel so let her go.”


    Tapio released his grip on Diney.


    Diney fell to the ground and stumbled backward.


    James quickly helped her up while asking, “Are you okay?”


    Diney shook her head with a grimace on her face.


    Her eyes were fixated on the frail-looking Tapio. She stepped towards him and asked again, “Tapio,


    where have you been for the past ten years?”

    “James, prepare for our duel!”


    Tapio ignored Diney.


    Suddenly, devastating energy erupted from his body.


    The energy rushed up to the sky like a giant dragon, dispersing the clouds in the sky.


    Diney’s jaw hung open when she witnessed this.
