As Hartless Iron spoke, his gaze fell on Lindsay Windson standing nearby. His eyes lit up instantly.
Compared to Oriana, Lindsay Windson was equally stunning in both beauty and grace. Hartless Iron hadn’t expected to stumble upon not one, but two extraordinary beauties. The thought filled him with joy.
With a wave of his hand, Hartless Iron barked, “Capture these two women for me!”
At his command, over a hundred pirates advanced toward Oriana and Lindsay Windson.
At that moment, both women bore resolute expressions. Chris was still in seclusion, and they had no one to rely on but themselves.
“You want to take us? Dream on!”
With a fierce shout, both women drew their longswords and charged at the pirates.
Screams filled the air.
In mere moments, dozens of pirates lay lifeless in pools of blood.
Oriana and Lindsay Windson, both being Pinnacle-level cultivators, were not easy opponents.
Seeing this, Hartless Iron’s face darkened.
He snapped at the Solstice-level cultivators in his group, “What are you standing around for? Hurry up and seize them!”
At his words, several Solstice-level cultivators sprang into action.
Oriana and Lindsay Windson were no match for these advanced cultivators and were quickly subdued.
With a smug grin, Hartless Iron looked at the captured women and sneered, “Let’s see where you two can run now. I heard there’s a young man traveling with you. Where is he? You’d better tell me, or he’ll soon learn what it means to cross me!”
“Are you the Hall Master of Iron Fist?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Hartless Iron froze for a moment before shouting, “Who’s there? Show yourself!”
At the same time, the Solstice-level cultivator standing beside him stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura of intimidation.
“Chris!”
The sound of his name made Lindsay Windson and Oriana gasp in unison.
However, their expressions soon turned to worry.
Hartless Iron had brought an overwhelming force with him this time. Even if Chris appeared, what could he do?
Hartless Iron sneered, “Come out, you arrogant fool! How dare you kill my men! Unforgivable!”
With a loud crash, a door was blasted open.
Chris emerged from the room, his expression calm and composed.
Hartless Iron fixed his cold gaze on Chris and demanded, “You’re the man who rescued Oriana?”
Chris replied indifferently, “That’s right. My name is Chris.”
“Hahaha!” Hartless Iron burst into laughter. “Good! You dare steal my women and kill my men? Today will be your last day alive!”
To Hartless Iron, Chris was as good as dead.
“Chris!” Oriana shouted anxiously. “Their strength is too overwhelming-run while you can!”
Hartless Iron’s forces included five Solstice-level cultivators-one in the late stage, two in the mid-stage, and two in the early stage.
It was an intimidating lineup, and even Chris wasn’t expected to stand a chance.
But Chris merely chuckled. “A bunch of weaklings. Why should I run?”
Hartless Iron was momentarily stunned by Chris’s arrogance. He hadn’t expected such blatant disregard.
He turned to the two early-stage Solstice cultivators and ordered, “Kill him!”
“Yes!”
The two cultivators nodded and charged at Chris.
In an instant, Chris moved.
His speed was like lightning, a blur to the naked eye.
With clenched fists, Chris struck with devastating force.
The two cultivators attempted to counter, but it was futile.
With two thunderous impacts, both were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
“Die!”
Chris showed no mercy, pursuing them to finish the fight.
The battle was ferocious, leaving destruction in its wake.
Hartless Iron’s expression grew grim. “I didn’t expect this Chris to be so powerful. Even two early-stage Solstice cultivators aren’t his match.”
Before Hartless Iron could finish his thought, Chris struck again, landing decisive blows that sent the two cultivators sprawling lifelessly on the ground.
The crowd fell silent, their mouths agape.
No one had anticipated Chris’s overwhelming strength. He had effortlessly killed two Solstice-level cultivators as if they were nothing.
Hartless Iron roared, “Kill him!”
At his command, the two mid-stage Solstice cultivators charged at Chris.
The ensuing clash was intense.
Blows landed with deafening force, tearing through the structure of the inn.
The destructive power of their fight was extraordinary.
Amidst the chaos, Chris drew the Dragon Slayer and, with two swift strikes, sent the mid-stage cultivators flying.
Their bodies hit the ground, lifeless.
The silence that followed was deafening.
Chris had not only defeated the early-stage cultivators but also the mid-stage ones with ease.
His strength was terrifying, leaving everyone around him trembling in fear.
Hartless Iron gritted his teeth and turned to the late-stage Solstice cultivator beside him. “Master Moonstone, kill him!”
The late-stage Solstice cultivator, known as Master Moonstone, stepped forward, his expression heavy with caution.
Initially, he hadn’t considered Chris a threat. But now, he realized this man was no ordinary opponent.
“Die!”
With a roar, Master Moonstone charged at Chris with breathtaking speed, unleashing a deadly aura.
Chris didn’t dare underestimate him.
Though he could handle early- and mid-stage Solstice cultivators, Master Moonstone’s late-stage strength was a greater challenge.
He had to give it his all.
The two clashed fiercely, their attacks creating shockwaves that sent nearby pirates flying.
Ordinary onlookers scrambled to safety, terrified of being caught in the crossfire.
One was a late-stage Solstice cultivator.
The other was a warrior who had tempered his body three times, now possessing strength comparable to the late-stage Solstice level.
Their battle raged on, the force of their strikes causing buildings to collapse.
The fight moved from the inn to the shoreline, where waves erupted under the sheer intensity of their blows.
Master Moonstone’s face betrayed a hint of surprise. He hadn’t expected Chris to be this strong.
