Tracius, apanied by Haron and Molton, stepped aside. Kearson discarded his sunsses, a smirk ying on his lips as he leisurely approached, saying, "Members of the ck Panthers once told me that you''re formidable, warning me to be cautious of you. But I believe that''s all empty praise."


    "Then let''s see." Wilbur''s right hand flipped, wielding the thunder cleaver, and he charged forward, shing towards Kearson. Kearson dodged Wilbur''s attack by sidestepping, then circled behind Wilbur. At that moment, Wilbur sensed Kearson''s presence behind him and swiftly turned around, striking towards Kearson.


    Kearson evaded again, appearing on Wilbur''s left side the next second. Wilbur swung his de towards the left, but Kearson dodged once more, appearing on the right side. Each time Wilbur swung the thunder cleaver, Kearson eluded it like a ghost, dodging to the side.


    For the next half minute, Kearson continuously dodged while Wilbur relentlessly swung his de. Although Wilbur''s speed was impressive, Kearson was faster. Every time Wilbur''s thunder cleaver was about to strike Kearson, he would mysteriously evade to the side.


    Despite Wilbur unleashing over a dozen strikes, not a single onended on Kearson. As Wilbur paused to catch his breath, he suddenly felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupting overhead. At that moment, a chill ran down Wilbur''s spine as he wondered if this energy was of the pre-Emperor level.


    In the next moment, Wilbur abruptly looked up, raising his thunder cleaver. With a ng, a white light sword pierced Wilbur''s thunder cleaver. Simultaneously, Wilbur''s legs bent, and a tremendous force transmitted from him to the ship, causing it to sink ten centimeters, swaying in the seawater.


    Looking down at Wilbur from above, Kearson''s lips curled into a smirk. "Wilbur, you''re too weak. To think you''d dare to offend me despite your cultivation level! Today is the day you die!"


    "Go to hell!" With those words, Kearson''s eyes narrowed, and he erupted with a surge of energy. At the same time, Wilbur also unleashed a powerful surge of spiritual energy. The two energies collided, and Wilbur forcefully sent Kearson flying.


    Kearson soared into the air, then swiftly plummeted back down. His light sword aimed at Wilbur, who blocked Kearson''s attack with his thunder cleaver. Kearson slid back several steps on the deck, then plunged his light sword into the nks, finallying to a stop.


    Kearson gasped for air, then withdrew his sword from the nks, wearing a sinister smile on his face. He appeared rxed as he said, "Wilbur, it seems your strength exceeds my expectations. However, there''s only one oue for offending me: your death. No one in Rostead has ever dared to address me with such an attitude, Wilbur. You''re the first and will also be thest." With those words, Kearson''s spiritual energy erupted once more, reaching the peak of the pre-Emperor level. However, for Wilbur, who had experienced true power, Kearson''s spiritual energy level under the Emperor level did not impress him at all.


    "I''ll kill you!" Kearson charged forward, and Wilbur stood his ground. In an instant, both swung their weapons, and the thunder cleaver collided with the light sword, unleashing a powerful force that sent them both flying backward.
