Chapter 2417


    “W-what…?! ” eximed the horrified brothers who had managed to avoid the attack. Thank god Saint


    Darkwind was on their side! Otherwise, Gerald would’ve easily ughtered all three of them today…!


    They weren’t his match at all…!”


    Quickly snapping out of it, Zend who now had veins bulging on his forehead-was prompted to yell,


    “Are you alright, Third Brother?! If you are, we need to activate the formation now!”

    “I… I’m fine!” replied Hudson as he fumbled back to his feet. Shortly after, all three of them stood in a


    triangr formation, and essential qi immediately began flowing out of their bodies and merging


    together.


    Once enough essential qi had been gathered, the trio roared in unison, “Thunder Strike…!” Following


    that, an aurade appeared and it quickly began flying toward Gerald…!


    “Oh my… What a powerful attack!” said the smirking Gerald in a mocking tone as he leaped toward the


    aurade! With a single strike of his palm, Gerald easily shattered the trio’s sword formation!


    The second that happened, all three of them began Spurting blood out of their mouths! With nearly all


    their bones broken, the trio were forced to lie on the ground…! The Thunder Stroke was the strongest


    sword technique passed down by their ancestors, and they had only managed to master it after


    decades of cultivating!


    Despite that being the case, to think that they were taken out so easily by that boy! While it was


    distressing to admit, they now knew just how weak they werepared to him…! The battle couldn’t


    go on!


    “Ryder is your great-grandfather, correct? If that’s the case, then I should be your senior! With that in


    mind, as your senior, allow me to say that that sword technique doesn’t suit you. Just stop practicing it


    already!” said Gerald as he shook his head, a weary smile on his face.


    Pissed to hear that, Zend then spat out a mouthful of blood before retorting, “Talk is cheap! If you


    have the guts, try catching up to us for round two!”


    Following that, all three of them bolted away, prompting Gerald to say, “Oh…? What tricks do you have


    up your sleeve…?”


    With that said, Gerald turned into a beam of light that then chased after the trio and shortly after, he


    arrived at a graveyard in Mayberry. Upon entering, Gerald instantly sensed a bone chilling aura in the


    vicinity.


    Smiling faintly, Gerald then muttered, “A formation! How interesting…”


    The second Gerald’s sentence ended, the trio bolted off again. However, before Gerald could chase


    after them, evilughter could be heard, followed by someone dering, “Let’s see how you’ll escape


    my bone eroding formation, Gerald!”


    Almost immediately after, a murderous ck gale began blowing within the formation, and a dark


    hemisphere quickly formed over the area as well! If amoner were caught within the formation,


    they’d surely feel like they were being stabbed by thousands of knives!


    ‘What a menacing formation…’ Gerald thought to himself as he shook his head.


    It wasn’t long after before a swirl of dust began gathering in front of him and eventually, it turned into a


    giant face! Laughing in a mocking tone, the face soon said, “Amazing! You aren’t hurt from my bone


    eroding formation at all! No wonder you could defeat Ryder!”


    “Hmm? Your cultivation is far higher than those three In fact, it’s probably on par with Ryder’s


    cultivation! Who exactly are you? For all I know, nobody else should be this strong in Ryder’s family!”


    replied Gerald.


    “I go by Saint Darkwind, though I have a feeling you haven’t heard of me before. Regardless, I know all


    about you, courtesy of Ryder! That old man told me that you had mastered the supreme heavenly


    techniques in Fyre Cave, so just to be safe, I made sure to make this formation the location of our first


    meeting!” exined Saint Darkwind with a sneer.


    Following that, the huge face returned to dust. However, dust quickly began swirling in front of Gerald


    again and soon enough, Saint Darkwind was standing before the boy!


    After staring at the man for a bit, Gerald ced his hands against his back before cheerily saying, “So,


    Ryder’s told you about that… However, I have a feeling he didn’t tell you everything!”


    “Oh? What hasn’t he said?” scoffed Saint Darkwind with a sneer.
