Poor Elder White, his thin body was thrust and then fell heavily to the ground after the disappearance of the earth spikes. This time, he couldn’t rise again.
“Elder White!” Brian exclaimed, fear in his eyes as he looked at Leo. Even his hands holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.
Brian never expected Leo’s combat strength to be so formidable. In such a short time, he had slain both Elder White and Elder Black.
Leo’s stern gaze turned towards Brian. “Now, it’s your turn to meet your Elder White and Elder Black.”
With Blue Phantom Sword in his right hand, Leo dashed towards Brian.
Terrified of Leo, Brian dared not engage in close combat. He flung several black darts from the sleeves of his left hand.
Tiny darts couldn’t obstruct Leo; he easily dodged them.
“Dad, help!” Brian panicked, rapidly retreating and loudly calling for help.
Darcy Bush, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Master Jennifer, noticed Brian’s situation. His expression turned horrifying, and his eyes reddened.
The fall of Elder White and Elder Black was an immeasurable loss for him and the entire Fiery Blaze Sect.
Seeing Leo chasing his son, Darcy Bush couldn’t ignore it. He exploded with internal force, forcefully repelling Master Jennifer, who was already at a disadvantage, then lunged towards Leo.
“Fire Rage Palm!” Darcy Bush’s speed was extraordinary. Flames blazed on his right palm as he aimed for Leo’s back.
Leo had to temporarily abandon the pursuit of Brian and turned to meet the attack.
“Boom!”
Leo and Darcy Bush’s palms collided, and after a muffled sound, both sides retreated several steps before stabilizing.
“You little bastard! Killing our Fiery Blaze Sect’s Elder White and Elder Black, I won’t let you go!” Darcy Bush, enraged, showed signs of a breakthrough.
Leo, sensing Darcy Bush’s increasingly fierce aura, raised an eyebrow. “It seems like he’s about to break through.”
Darcy Bush also realized the signs of his breakthrough. If he could advance from the peak of the Upper-Grade Grandmaster realm to the Lower-Grade Warlord realm, it would make dealing with Leo much easier. A hint of joy appeared on Darcy Bush’s aged face.
Leo knew that allowing Darcy Bush to successfully break through would be detrimental. He had to stop him.
Leo formed dozens of Qi Blades again by pinching his fingers, launching them at Darcy Bush.
Darcy Bush’s internal force erupted, dispersing all the incoming Qi Blades.
Darcy Bush, now aware of his breakthrough, had no choice but to choose escape to ensure it wouldn’t be affected. He swiftly retreated, grabbed Brian, and attempted to flee the scene.
“Trying to escape? Not happening!” Leo immediately summoned a Thunder Talisman.
“Fire Rage Elemental Shield!” Darcy Bush once again condensed his internal force into a flaming shield.
“Boom!”
The thunderous impact struck the flaming shield. While it shattered the shield, most of the thunder’s force was blocked, causing no substantial harm to Darcy Bush and Brian.
Taking advantage of the situation, Darcy Bush, with Brian in tow, rushed into the nearby woods.
Leo sighed slightly; the power of a Level 1 Thunder Talisman fell short. If it were a Level 2 Thunder Talisman, it would surely have ended Darcy Bush and Brian.
The consecutive battles had depleted most of Leo’s Spiritual Power. Therefore, he didn’t pursue Darcy Bush and Brian.
Although Darcy Bush’s figure was no longer visible, his voice echoed coldly from the woods, “You little brat, we Fiery Blaze Sect will never let you off. Wait until I break through; I will surely annihilate your Seven Stars Sword Sect!”
Leo merely chuckled at Darcy Bush’s words and then sheathed the Blue Phantom Sword.
Henry, perched in a tree in the distance, hadn’t expected such an outcome. His expression turned serious, “This Leo guy is too powerful. He not only defeated two Fiery Blaze Sect elders but also forced the sect leader to retreat.”
“Master Henry, from the recent battle, it’s clear that this Leo isn’t using typical martial arts methods. Moreover, he possesses numerous talismans, which is highly unusual. There must be some secret hidden on him!” Elliot’s face revealed a thoughtful expression.
Henry nodded in agreement, replying, “Elliot, I feel the same way. It seems we can’t afford to provoke him for now.”
“Since you’ve seen enough, it’s time to come down,” Leo raised his head, addressing Henry and Elliot hiding in the large tree, his tone cold.
Henry’s expression froze, and after exchanging a glance with Elliot, the two descended from the tree trunk.
Henry waved his trademark fan, wearing a friendly smile, “Mr. Bloomer, truly remarkable! With your strength, not only did you defeat two Fiery Blaze Sect elders, but you also frightened the sect leader into fleeing with his only son. Tsk, tsk, such prowess. Even a martial artist at the Martial General level might not achieve it.”
Leo appeared somewhat impatient with Henry’s feigned admiration, responding indifferently, “Now that the spectacle is over, you may leave.”
Originally, Henry planned to return to East Town with Master Jennifer. However, considering Leo’s unfriendly expression and recalling Leo’s formidable combat abilities, Henry had to retract his fan, forcing a smile, “Mr. Bloomer, we’ll take our leave. We might meet again at tomorrow’s auction.”
After Henry and Elliot departed, Violet approached, her beautiful eyes gleaming at Leo, expressing joy, “Leo, you’re amazing!”
“Leo, are you okay?” Master Jennifer also walked over.
Leo shook his head, “I’m fine; let’s go back.”
The three of them walked towards the Maple Leaf Inn in East Town. As for the two unfortunate horses, Leo would have to compensate after returning.
Before entering the inn, Leo took the two women to a herb shop in the town, purchasing a large quantity of herbs required for refining Vitality Pills.
Back at the inn, after having dinner, Leo locked himself in a separate room, preparing to refine Vitality Pills.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Leo closed his eyes slightly, then circulated the Nine Heavens Star Chart to regulate his breath. He aimed to bring his mind and body to their peak condition.
After about an hour, Leo slowly opened his bright eyes and exhaled a breath.
The Spiritual Power consumed in the battle with the Fiery Blaze Sect members had fully recovered, and his mind was in optimal condition.
Leo formed a hand seal with his right hand, and the Mystical Sky Bagua-Patterned Alchemical Furnace flew out of his small backpack, rapidly expanding in mid-air.
