Josh Clarke’s face was filled with astonishment. Just from the momentum alone, it was clear that Chris was indeed a formidable opponent! In an instant, the fleeting seriousness in Josh Clarke’s eyes reappeared as he wielded his sword to meet Chris’s attack.
In the blink of an eye, their fierce battle commenced. The light of their swords crisscrossed, threatening to kill anyone within a hundred meters who wasn’t careful. The sword light left deep trenches in the ground, like a plow through a field.
The surrounding people gasped in amazement. Their exclamations were endless. Everyone stopped fighting. Every person lifted their head to watch the two figures battling in the sky. They knew that no matter how fierce their own fights were, they were meaningless. The true determiners of the battle’s outcome were Chris and Josh Clarke.
The intensity of the battle was beyond everyone’s imagination. Compared to the fight between Chris and Josh Clarke, their previous battles seemed like child’s play.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed. A figure was sent flying and crashed into the ground, creating a gigantic crater. Everyone was stunned. The person who had been sent flying was none other than the leader of the Middleton Alliance, Josh Clarke!
As for Chris, he stood proudly, his long sword in his hand. His face was devoid of emotion, as if the intense battle that had just taken place was simply a casual spar.
“How… how did he do that?”
“Did the Alliance Leader lose?”
“This is too terrifying!”
Members of the Middleton Alliance looked on in shock, their mouths agape, their tongues trembling in disbelief. Their minds went blank, as if they had been stunned for centuries.
“Master Josh!”
“Master Josh!”
“Master Josh!”
Following Carrie Grant’s cry, other members of the Middleton Alliance rushed over. At this moment, Josh Clarke was lying on the ground, his clothes tattered and his body covered in blood. His sword was broken into pieces, and it was impossible to tell what it originally looked like.
Josh Clarke was in utter disbelief. He was a formidable fighter, a step away from the second stage of martial arts mastery. Who in the world could be stronger than him? He could take on a hundred peak grandmasters on his own.
But Chris… seemed to have defeated him effortlessly. How was this possible? Could Chris have reached the second stage of martial arts mastery already?
Suddenly, a horrifying thought occurred to Josh Clarke. His face turned pale. If Chris was indeed a second-stage martial artist, then Josh Clarke’s arrival was a death sentence. As a semi-second-stage martial artist, he knew how terrifying a true second-stage martial artist could be.
