“Alright!” Harleen replied.
“Opal, Ms Knight…” Casey and the others shouted simultaneously. They all knew that Harleen was only at the Fifth-rank realm, three or four ranks below Damian Ravenwood. How could she handle him?
“Don’t worry!” Opal interrupted them.
Casey and the others opened their mouths, wanting to say something more, but they realized that since Opal had arranged it this way, she must have had her reasons. So they didn’t insist any further.
Two minutes later, Harleen and Damian arrived at an open space not far from the water pool.
“Be careful, Ms Knight!” Casey shouted with concern.
Harleen nodded in response.
“Damian, stop when you’ve made your point, don’t hurt the Holy Son’s wife!” Ferdinand Ravenwood also spoke loudly.
“Father, don’t worry!” Damian responded. After speaking, he looked at Harleen and said, “Madam, make your move, we’re short on time, one move is the limit!”
“Alright.” Harleen didn’t waste any time talking with him. As she spoke, her aura burst forth, revealing her Fifth-rank cultivation level. Immediately after, her eyes narrowed, her wrist continuously turned, and she activated the Ether Mountain Sword Art.
Swoosh! In the next moment, a sword shot towards Damian like a solid object, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.
“As expected of the Holy Son’s wife, with the Fifth-rank cultivation level, able to unleash such a sword, not bad!” Sensing the power of this sword, Damian Ravenwood narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could tell that this one sword alone was definitely a challenge to his own strength, even if it was a rank difference. As he finished speaking, he also made his move, a powerful aura bursting forth.
“Although you can challenge me with a rank difference, you’re still weaker, the four-rank difference can’t be made up with just a little talent!” As he spoke, his figure flashed, and with a raised hand, a palm strike containing an overwhelming force swept towards Harleen.
“Is that so?” Faced with Damian’s attack, Harleen’s eyes narrowed slightly. In the next moment, her entire aura underwent an instant change, as if she had completely transformed, emanating a chilling aura.
“Hmm!?” Sensing the change in Harleen, Damian’s pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.
However, that was it! Although he felt that Harleen might have activated some secret technique to bring about this change. He didn’t believe that there was any secret technique that could bridge a four-rank difference, unheard of. But just a second later, when the attacks from both sides collided, his face changed.
A loud bang echoed, shockwaves reverberated, and the surrounding trees were snapped in half at the waist. At the same time, Harleen and Damian Ravenwood were both sent flying, falling to the ground and flipping several somersaults before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
With just one move, it was a draw.
The scene instantly fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of flowing water in the blood pool not far away. Everyone on the scene, except for Opal, had a stunned expression on their faces. A Fifth-rank facing a Ninth-rank, and after one move, it ended in a tie?! This completely defied logic.
“What the hell!!!”
After a while, Stout, Judge, and Soul Chaser all shouted at the same time.
“Am I mistaken? It’s a tie?” Soul Chaser paused for a moment, then continued, “Judge, cut me with your knife, let me see if I’m dreaming!”
“Alright!” Judge raised his knife and swung it down directly.
“Damn, you really swing hard!” Soul Chaser dodged with a quick step.
“Don’t dodge, I also want to see if I’m dreaming!” Judge responded.
“Get lost!” Soul Chaser cursed with an exaggerated expression. “How can Ms Knight be so strong? She can actually rival a Ninth-ranked Sovereign!”
“Felicia, what did you and Ms Knight experience on the Ether Mountain?” Stout looked at Felicia and asked, “How did your sister suddenly become so powerful?”
Upon hearing this, Casey and the others also looked over.
“I… I’m not sure!” Felicia shook her head in response, genuinely puzzled.
“This might have something to do with the inheritance Ms Knight received!” Casey spoke thoughtfully.
“How is that possible?!” At the same time, Damian Ravenwood climbed up from the ground, staring in horror at Harleen. “How can you be so strong? What secret technique did you use just now?”
“One move is enough, remember your promise!” Harleen wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and ignored him, turning to walk towards Opal’s direction.
In that moment, as she turned, her face instantly turned pale, her eyes glowing crimson, and a hint of pain appeared between her eyebrows. Her body trembled slightly. Clearly, she was in a lot of discomfort right now.
“Harleen, take this pill!” Opal hurriedly went up to her.
“Thank you, Opal!” Harleen swallowed it.
Immediately after, Opal raised her hand and struck out several palm strikes, all of which entered Harleen’s body. It was obvious that she had anticipated Harleen’s reaction. Perhaps this was the reason why she dared to let Harleen accept Damian Ravenwood’s challenge.
“Harleen, rest here for a while!” Opal continued.
“Okay, thank you!” Harleen nodded and sat down cross-legged.
“Opal, is Harleen okay?” Frostblade and Rakshasa approached and asked.
“She’s fine!”
“Opal, did Ms Knight use some secret technique and suffer backlash?” Stout asked.
“No!” Opal shook her head. “She just used a part of her power that doesn’t belong to her!”
“A part of her power that doesn’t belong to her?”
Everyone was confused.
“It’s related to the inheritance she received. I’ll explain next time!” Opal said before walking towards the Ravenwood family. When she reached them, she spoke coldly, “Mr Ferdinand Ravenwood, the battle is over. I hope you’re willing to accept the outcome!”
“That doesn’t count!” Before Ferdinand could respond, Jenson shouted, “She borrowed someone else’s power, that’s cheating and doesn’t count!” As a Saint, he noticed the changes in Harleen’s body at the first moment.
“Damn! Can you the Ravenwood family be any more shameless?” Bob shouted loudly.
“Should Ms Knight just sit there and let him attack, then it would count?”
“How dare you speak to Master Jenson like that!” An elder stepped forward, pointing at Bob. “If you dare to speak out of line again…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a palm strike made of true energy slashed out from Opal’s hand, directly passing through the elder’s arm. The next moment, the elder’s arm fell to the ground, blood spraying out.
“Mm…” He groaned, taking several steps back, his face turning pale.
“Anyone else have any objections?” Opal looked at the others and spoke in a deep voice. “If you have objections, come forward and we’ll settle it all at once!”
