As the young girl transformed into a streak of Sword Light and charged at her once more, Fa was


    forced to dodge frantically.


    She had already grown ustomed to offense andcked practice in defending.


    To be pushed into defense by a mere child was an utter humiliation to her.


    Even more unexpectedly, James suddenly remerged before her.


    His arms emanated a purple-golden and a ck glow, then suddenly transformed into two swords to


    swiftly close in on her.


    Caught between the attacks of two formidable opponents, Fa was at a loss and panicked.


    With Quasar Lightning crashing down from the skies, colorful mes erupting from the ground, and


    fierce winds raging around her, herbat effectiveness was pushed to its limits.


    Fa thought about breaking free from the suffocating formation, but even when using all her Marciais


    Power, her attempts were to no avail.


    It felt like she had been sealed within another dimension with no exit, leaving her panicked and


    desperate.


    In her moment of distress, James closed in with the Terrastride Step, thrusting his sword into her


    shoulder with unrelenting force.


    Following closely behind, the young girl lunged forward, her sword finding its mark on Fa’s right arm.


    The sessive strikes left Fa severely weakened, and herbat effectiveness decreased


    significantly.


    Desperate to escape, she leaped into the air, only to be met with the oppressive force of Quasar


    Lightning crackling around her.


    As soon as shended on the ground, she was engulfed by the colorful mes.


    Soon after, the raging winds further depleted her strength.


    The young girl grinned sinisterly and asked, “You should have her, Master.


    She’s quite beautiful.


    I’m sure she''ll taste good.” James chuckled, “You’re still so young but are already so naughty?” The


    young girl retorted, “I’m asking you to devour her, not sleep with her.


    She''s at the Ninth Xaeclon Rank.


    Your Historial Power would increase significantly,” said James.


    “T’m afraid it won’t be that easy.


    She’s severely injured, but so am I.


    Don’t forget there is a powerhouse out there at the Daeclon Rank.


    I must have a backup n.” The young girl suggested, “Then force her to withdraw from the mental


    battlefield and consider the battle a draw.” After speaking, she suddenly transformed into a five-


    coloured light and entangled Fa.


    In the blink of an eye, James seized Fa with a firm grip, enveloping her in a powerful aura of gray,


    ck, and white energy.


    Fa’s expression twisted with shock and fear as she struggled against the overwhelming force


    holding her captive.


    “What are you doing?” James responded coldly, “If you refuse to yield, I’ll consume you.” As Fa felt


    her Marciais Power draining, she sensed the dire situation and swiftly made a decision.


    With a sudden burst of movement, she detonated her own body, creating an explosive distraction.


    In the outside world, Fa’s physical form jerked, and she coughed up blood.


    She fell to her knees as if her strength had beenpletely drained.


    “T can''t believe it.


    How can this be? I’m at the peak of the Ninth Xaeclon Rank, yet you, who is only at the Fifth Xaeclon


    Rank, managed to suppress me?” Fa gasped, her voice strained and pained as blood dripped from


    her lips.


    As James observed Fa’s struggle to ept the situation, he also felt the toll of their mental battle


    and coughed up blood.


    James managed to suppress Fa with his Supernatural Powers while on the mental battlefield.


    Still, he could not achieve a decisive advantage because of the vast disparity in their ranks.


    The gap between the Eighth and Ninth Xaeclon was immense, with their strengths andbat


    effectiveness being worlds apart.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    James realized that the oue of a real battle might be less favorable for him.


    He acknowledged that facing Fa head-on would likely result in severe injuries and uncertain odds of


    victory.


    “No, you didn’t only cultivate Marciais Power.


    What was that formation? Who’s that young girl you summoned? How did she prate my golden


    body with such ease?” Fa asked a series of questions, her eyes burning with frustration.


    James shrugged and replied, “Are you unwilling to ept the oue? Do you wish to engage in a


    real physical battle, sword to sword?”
