“Not a Martial Cultivator or an Esper?” Skyfire frowned, “Could it be an expert from an external sect? It’s rare to encounter an expert from an external sect who can defeat you.”
“But I still think it’s unnecessary to bring the Supreme Elder here. As juniors, how can we casually waste his time?”
The experts from the external sect that Skyfire mentioned were different from Martial Cultivators who specialized in cultivating internal energy. They focused on developing physical strength.
It was said that they cultivated their physical strength to an extremely high level, to the point where even bullets couldn’t penetrate their flesh.
“Skyfire, you’ll see when you meet that kid later. He has his eyes on the Spirit Jade Vein, and we must eliminate him in one fell swoop.”
“Hellfire, it seems like you’re becoming more and more cowardly…”
Ocean Source interjected, “Enough, Skyfire, say no more. With three punches, he severely injured Hellfire. Regardless, as the Iron Sword Sect, we cannot let him live.”
Although Skyfire felt dissatisfied with Ocean Source’s decision, he remained silent.
His gaze returned to the entrance of the narrow passageway at the foot of the Grand Mountain.
Outside the entrance, the air was filled with sword energy, causing the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees to break and the ground to be marked with deep cracks.
After more than ten moves, with a piercing clash of swords, Leo and Cold River each retreated, creating distance between them.
Leo couldn’t help but think, “No wonder the Iron Sword Sect is known for its sword techniques. Their swordsmanship is truly exquisite.”
“Kid, you do have some skills, but I will still take your life!” Cold River infused his inner energy into the ice-white sword, and the sword energy became even more intense.
Cold River’s figure flickered like a swimming dragon, leaving a trail on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Leo.
With a powerful momentum, the sword energy aimed for Leo’s chest.
Leo used a evasive technique and mysteriously disappeared from his original position.
When he reappeared, he was already ten meters away from Cold River.
Leo mobilized his Spiritual Power and infused it into the Blue Phantom Sword in his hand.
With a buzzing sword cry, the Blue Phantom Sword burst into a strange blue light.
Leo swung his right hand, and the Blue Phantom Sword turned into a blue stream of light, shooting towards Cold River.
Cold River had never seen such a fast attack speed before. His face changed, and he erupted with inner energy, forcefully moving half a step.
With a hissing sound, the Blue Phantom Sword passed across Cold River’s shoulder, leaving a deep gash. Blood gushed out of the wound, staining Cold River’s white robe red.
Leo made another gesture, and the Blue Phantom Sword automatically returned to his hand.
If Cold River hadn’t moved half a step, the Blue Phantom Sword would have pierced through his chest.
Cold River covered his shoulder with his hand and said hoarsely, “Kid, you dare to injure me!”
There was no trace of fear in Cold River’s eyes; he was even more determined to capture Leo alive.
If the Iron Sword Sect could obtain the secrets of Yin-Yang Spellcraft, they would have the strength to challenge top Martial Arts Sects!
“Ice Phantom!” Cold River shouted, and his powerful inner energy erupted once again.
With Cold River at the center, the grass, trees, and rocks around him quickly frosted and froze.
At the same time, Cold River’s figure split into seven, surrounding Leo.
The next second, all seven Cold Rivers simultaneously attacked the central Leo.
Leo released his spiritual sense and easily identified Cold River’s true body.
With a tap of his foot on the ground, Leo’s speed skyrocketed, completely ignoring the six illusions and rushing in front of Cold River’s real body.
Without any fanciness, he threw a punch imbued with Spiritual Power directly at Cold River.
Cold River never expected that Leo could identify him, and a look of extreme astonishment appeared on his face.
The fist struck Cold River’s chest, shattering his defensive inner energy and piercing through his body.
As the sound of bones breaking echoed, Cold River’s body soared into the air and then flew backward. Blood gushed out of his mouth like a gushing stream.
“Bang!”
Cold River’s back heavily hit the stone wall.
The wall shattered, and after Cold River slid down, a human-shaped recess appeared on the wall.
The power behind Leo’s punch could be seen from this.
Cold River lay on the ground, his flowing hair in disarray, and his powerful aura withered.
Jason, who was watching from a distance, couldn’t help but swallow subconsciously.
After the initial shock, Jason felt a great sense of satisfaction. Considering how Cold River had tortured him with his Yin Cold Inner Power before, seeing Cold River in such a miserable state now was truly gratifying.
“This young man named Leo is truly powerful. I wonder how Nicola befriended someone like him,” Jason couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Regardless, having the opportunity to meet Leo was definitely a stroke of luck for the Pater family.
Leo looked at Jason and asked, “Uncle Pater, the old bastard who injured you has received the punishment he deserves. What do you want to do with him now?”
Just as Leo finished speaking, two sharp eagle cries suddenly resounded from the sky.
Leo and Jason simultaneously looked up to the sky, where two giant eagles appeared. It seemed that there were people sitting on the eagles’ backs.
There was no need to say it; these two eagles were flying mounts, undoubtedly brought by Hellfire and the higher-ups of the Iron Sword Sect.
The Iron Sword Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a top Martial Arts Sect, actually having flying mounts.
However, while the Golden Eagles were good, they couldn’t compare to the potential of the Thunder Wing Beast. Whether in terms of flying speed or endurance, the Golden Eagles couldn’t match the Thunder Wing Beast.
Leo narrowed his eyes and noticed that one of the golden eagles had four people on its back. He didn’t recognize three of them, but he recognized Hellfire, who was sitting at the back.
The other golden eagle only carried an old man with an elderly appearance. Even though they were quite far apart, Leo could sense that this old man was extraordinary.
The two golden eagles seemed to have spotted their target and simultaneously dove down.
In just a minute, the two golden eagles landed on the open ground in front of the narrow passageway entrance.
As they looked at the scene on the ground, the four people on the back of the first golden eagle couldn’t help but change their expressions.
Four elite disciples of the Iron Sword Sect lay unconscious on the ground.
Cold River, who was once elegant, now had disheveled hair, his white robe stained with blood. He leaned against the stone wall, gasping in pain.
Jumping down from the golden eagle, the expression on the face of the Sect Master, Theodore, immediately turned gloomy.
“Cold River!”
“Cold River!”
Ocean Source, Skyfire and Hellfire all called out.
Cold River coughed up another mouthful of blood, forcing himself to stand up.
Seeing the arrivals, especially the Supreme Elder, Cold River’s complexion improved significantly.
Theodore and Ocean Source’s figures flickered, arriving next to Cold River and supporting him.
“Cold River, how did you sustain such a serious injury?” Skyfire anxiously asked.
“Cold River, was it that kid who injured you?” Ocean Source had already noticed Leo standing to the side.
