Chapter 1046


    As Hassan spoke, he intensified the inner energy in his hands, making his moves sharper


    Andrius was under increasing pressure Even though he executed the Burden of Nine Skies to


    perfection, his level was lower than Hassan’s, and hecked the experience.


    Bam!


    After several exchanges, he was forced to sh head–on with Hassan.


    Hassan’s body trembled slightly, and he took two steps back.


    Andrius also staggered and took three steps back.


    The gap in their abilities was evident.


    However, the scene astonished everyone present. They had expected Andrius to suffer a severe


    disadvantage against Hassan.


    Instead, Hassan only held a slight upper hand.


    Although part of the reason was because Hassan did not use his full strength, it also spoke volumes


    about Andrius‘ astonishing abilities.


    Hassan was secretly surprised as well. Andrius was not even thirty, but he already possessed such


    strength.


    The Klein family’s treasure was truly amazing The Fullers must obtain it.


    “Hahahaha.


    Just as Hassan was determined to bring Andrius back to the Fullers,ughter echoed from the distance


    It started faint, then grew nearer until it was right beside them.


    Hassan’s expression instantly changed upon hearing that voice in his heart, he realized that he would


    not


    be able to take Andrius away today That was because the owner of this voice was someone he feared


    and did not want to sh with


    ‘That old coot isn’t dead yet? We’re in trouble today


    As that thought shed in Hassan’s head, an elderly man with a weathered face appeared, moving


    swiftly


    and joining the group. He was the same old man who had been in seclusion in a cave at the back of


    Mount Cura, the one whom Andrius had disturbed when practicing spear techniques.


    “Ol‘ Hassan…” Once the old mannded, he appeared spirited as he shouted at Hassan. “We haven’t


    seen


    each other in a long time, and you’re getting more arrogant. Who gave you that courage?”


    Hassan’s expression turned serious at the taunting words, but he forced a smile and said, “Eli, I didn’t


    expect you to still be alive…”


    “You’re still alive, so of course I have to be alive too!”


    Eli nced at Hassan and said disdainfully, “What, did you want me dead that much?”


    “Of course not!” Hassan quickly shook his head. “I was just expressing my admiration!”


    “Heh…” Eli had a vague smile as he said yfully, “You little brat, why did you bring so many people to


    Mount Cura today? Do you want to experience the true power of the Burden of Nine Skies?”


    As he spoke, he inadvertently leaked a trace of his inner energy, one belonging to ate–stage Martial


    God


    and close to the Martial Saint realm.


    “Y–you…”


    Hassan instantly paled. He had been trying to break through tote–stage Martial God for decades.


    Eli’s inner energy was deep and condensed. He was just one step away from the Martial Saint realm.


    Such power was not something Hassan could confront in his current state.

    He swallowed hard and pulled his lips in a fawning smile. “Of course not. I just wanted to get closer to


    Sect Master Klein.”


    He did not want to fight with Eli.


    They were both over a hundred years old and at the end of their lives. They relied solely on pure inner


    energy to extend their life force. Engaging in a life–or–death battle or consuming too much energy was


    an exorbitant price they could not afford. They would end up overdrawing their lifelines!


    Furthermore, he was indeed no match for the Medicine Sect’s guardian, so backing down was the


    wisest


    choice.


    “Since I identally rmed you, then I won’t stay any longer. Farewell,” Hassan spoke resentfully and


    prepared to leave with Ronald, Sean, and the others


    Just then, Eli smiled insincerely. “Ol‘ Hassan, I didn’t say you could leave yet.”
