<strong>Capítulo 2023: Chapter 2023: An Unexpected Incident</strong>
In terms of swordsmanship, Julius Reed had never lost.
Immense strength,bined with incredible speed!
Sufficient to crush any opponent!
The things in the temple inherited the body of the martial arts association’s president, extremely formidable!
Facing the inevitable Seven Consecutive shes, the elder stumbled but managed to parry with his scythe!
Julius Reed held nothing back, he continued to pursue!
Combat is merely about whose strength is greater, whose speed is faster!
With each strike, Julius Reed swung with all his might!
Metal shed continuously!
The noise alone made Merrill Caldwell cover her ears and watch, kneeling on the ground in pain!
When masters exchange blows, it all depends on who can endure longer!
Bam!
Finally!
The elder’s scythe shed fiercely, forcing Julius Reed to retreat.
“Very strong.” He gripped the scythe with both hands, his wrists covered in blood.
Though he killed the president and upied his body.
But as the president of the martial arts association, the body was incredibly robust!
So much so that even though the person was dead, the blood had not coagted.
The intense shaking made him struggle to hold on.
He didn’t want to prolong the fight, he just wanted to kill Merrill Caldwell and retreat to heal his wounds.
Having just taken control of this body, he was still a bit unustomed.
“To offend the gods is to die.” The elder suddenly lunged forward!
The scythe in his hand aimed straight for Julius Reed’s neck!
But it was a feint!
Catching Julius Reed’s momentary dodge, he withdrew the scythe and swung it forward forcefully!
Merrill Caldwell was sure to die!
But at that moment.
Julius Reed pulled back with his right hand!
The Nine Heavens Thorn, intentionally left behind when he drew his sword earlier, was retrieved directly into his hand!
The elder’s body stalled.
Both his hands fell.
Then his head fell as well.
The Nine Heavens Thorn was unstoppable!
It was Julius Reed’s favorite hidden weapon at this moment.
Merrill Caldwell was already stunned with fear.
“He… is he dead?”
As soon as she finished speaking.
The elder’s body began to recover miraculously.
This didn’t surprise Julius Reed.
The thing in the temple didn’t care about the body’s integrity, plus with the martial arts association’s president’s strong physique, recovery under its control was not difficult.
But as long as it needed to recover, it required time!
What Julius Reedcked was precisely this time!
Indeed, the elder’s recovery speed was astonishingly fast.
But Julius Reed’s sword struck even faster!
The elder, sensing danger, dodged quickly, yet still had his right shoulder neatly sliced off!
The Break Sky Knife swept through the body, producing a dense ck smoke!
The elder roared, swinging the scythe with his almost recovered left hand!
After a brief sh, he fell into the water at an extremely high speed!
Bam!
Julius Reed pursued, shing into the water with his sword!
Waves sshed as high as three meters!
Yet the elder vanished.
Disappearing into the water.
Were others to witness it, they’d surely be shocked, eximing it was ghostly.
But Julius Reed knew this was one of the temple’smon tricks.
If they didn’t have these means, how could they gather so many followers?
Making Pranay Martinez and others willing to risk their lives the way they did?
After the elder disappeared.
Remarkably, the pool began to dry up.
The water inside visibly diminished.
Neither evaporating nor seeping into the ground.
Ten minutester.
The pool was gone.
Julius Reed stood at the edge of the pool, frowning deeply.
He had hoped to use the wishing pool to lure that thing out again and finish it off!
But now it seems…
Impossible.
The opponent was cunning, altering the wishing pool before leaving.
“Brother… am I… am I safe now?” Merrill Caldwell felt somewhat numb.
Now she wasn’t as terrified as before.
After all, the scythe had been only a whisker away from her.
Merrill Caldwell felt like she had already died once.
To be alive now was a bonus.
“It’s okay, you don’t believe me? Feel your neck.” Julius Reed turned around, smiling warmly at her.
Theforting smile immediately made Merrill Caldwell feel less scared.
She touched her neck.
There wasn’t any mark.
“Let’s go, but don’t leave the room for now. Remember to have the Martial Artists protect you, constantly monitoring the surroundings.” Julius Reed patted her head, hands behind his back, he said, “I need to visit the Martial Arts Association and deal with that thing! Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!”
Previously, the temple was sealed, nothing coulde out.
But now, something had emerged.
Everything is either zero or infinitely possible.
Julius Reed worried that the thing would use various means topletely lift the temple’s seal!
Bringing the so-called gods to this world!
The thing that concerned him most was that it had upied the martial arts association’s president’s body.
With the intelligence Julius Reed currently possessed, Underworld Emperor Yin Jian was coborating with the martial arts association.
If Yin Jian’s body was taken, its horror level wouldn’t be any less than Pranay Martinez’s.
They were all a special kind of people.
After they left.
The cat that had just ceased to breathe got up unexpectedly.
Its gaze at Julius Reed and Merrill Caldwell was extremely malevolent.
The cat ignored the dead mouse on the ground, standing up slowly.
A wondrous scene unfolded.
The cat’s severed limb gradually restored itself.
This was the price the cat had paid, now returned to it.
The cat examined its body, clearly displeased.
But there was no choice.
Apart from the cat, there was only that meddlesome dead mouse around.
The martial arts association president, when struck by Julius Reed, was stepping on this just-dead cat.
As if in thought.
The cat stealthily followed Merrill Caldwell, trailing her all the way.
After Julius Reed drove away.
“Meow!”
The cat suddenly let out a cry.
Merrill Caldwell turned, incredulous at the sight of the cat!
So excited she almost cried.
She rushed to the cat, hugging it and stroking relentlessly: “You’re not dead, you’re still alive!”
This cat had apanied her for many years.
There was a deep bond!
The cat’s mouth curled slightly, as if smiling like a person.
…
Martial Arts Association!
Global Headquarters!
“President.”
Knocking was heard outside the door.
“President, are you in? The Pope of the Funeral Alliance has something to discuss with you.”
The secretary continued to knock.
But still, there was no response.
She was the new secretary, today was her first day reporting in.
The previous secretaries onlysted a day before leaving.
It was said they’d received a blessing.
This made her very eager to see what today had in store.
“What’s going on?”
Shadow Kims draped in his robe, asked in a low voice: “Not in the room?”
“That’s unlikely, the president hasn’t left the room all day. If he did, someone would know.” The secretary recalled, but had no impression.
“Break down the door!” Shadow Kims’s expression darkened, he strode quickly to the door.
“That’s not… alright, in case the president…” The secretary hesitated.
“No time!”
Bang!
Shadow Kims kicked the door open!
The office was empty.
“The president isn’t here?” The secretary was shocked, hurried into the room.
When she opened another door.
She screamed in shock, sitting on the floor pale-faced!
The room was filled with corpses.
The corpses of the previous secretaries.
They died brutally.
“This is bad!”
Shadow Kims, seeing this scene, swiftly drew a dagger, carefully kicked open the bathroom door!
There, they saw.
The president sat on the toilet.
Already dead.
His right shoulder was neatly severed.
A wound on his back pierced through his chest.
