At the center of the Blood Bane Energy, the Chaos Blade transformed into two black and white blade shadows and slashed at the Blood Specters. Meanwhile, Adrian swiftly dodged and maneuvered while wielding the blade, defending and attacking simultaneously.Bang! Bang! Bang!One Blood Specter after another was chopped up into blood mist by the Chaos Blade, then devoured by the Destiny Dragon. At this moment, the Destiny Dragon had grown several times larger than before, and its length was rapidly increasing.Although Adrian was drenched in sweat, he felt no sense of exhaustion whatsoever.Swoosh!A burst of energy erupted from within him, instantly evaporating the sweat on his body and clothes. He swung the Chaos Blade, cutting down several Blood Specters that were attacking him. These phantoms were noticeably larger than before and more solid. Adrian could clearly see their faces, all of which belonged to the foreign powerhouses he had killed in the past.These Blood Specters were

Meanwhile, Brandon, Eliza, Brooke, and Bruno, along with other garrison soldiers, barely held an advantage and faced the risk of losing if they weren't cautious."This can't continue. We can barely handle one Blood Specter, let alone the increasing number breaking free from the blood clouds!" a soldier exclaimed.The weakest soldier among them abandoned the fight and fled. Seeing this, Ash didn't bother commanding him to come back. He, too, considered retreating."How did these Blood Specters emerge? Why are there so many formidable ones within this Blood Bane Energy?" another soldier lamented.Brandon and Ash sneered upon hearing this."Heh, how did they emerge? Just look at their faces, and you'll understand. These are all foreign experts who fell at our hands in the past," Eliza revealed.This revelation stunned the soldiers."Adrian! Could he have already advanced to level nine?" Ash murmured, dazed.Suddenly, Brodie yelled at him, "Move!"Snapping out of his daze, Ash wat

Inside the blood-red space, Adrian sensed something amiss. The density of the Blood Bane Energy around him was slowly diminishing, yet the pressure from the Blood Bane was intensifying.However, the dark shadow seemed to have vanished without a trace, not making another appearance. Adrian wanted to venture outside to investigate, but he remained obligated to guard the Destiny Dragon and couldn't depart."I don’t think any more Blood Specters will emerge for the moment. Maybe I should temporarily store the Destiny Dragon in an item. If the Blood Bane King strikes, my attention might be divided to protect it," Adrian muttered as he rummaged through his belongings, but soon realized he lacked a suitable item for housing the Destiny Dragon.Just then, the Destiny Dragon stirred. It circled around Adrian and swiftly surged toward his chest without warning. Adrian barely had time to react.Upon contact with Adrian's chest, the Destiny Dragon promptly vanished into him. Adrian’s entire fo

"Is it over?" someone sighed with relief.Adrian replied gruffly, "Of course not. The mastermind behind this hasn't been eliminated yet."Everyone felt deep confusion and shock. "What? They haven’t been eliminated yet?"Adrian stood facing the wind, waiting, and a subordinate soon approached him."Mr. Adrian, someone wishes to speak with you,” the subordinate said.Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Oh?""They said they wish to negotiate," the person added."Negotiate? Interesting." Adrian then looked toward a man who was slowly walking toward him."Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Richie McGall," the man said in a low and displeased tone."I am Adrian Xander," Adrian replied.After a pause, Richie continued, "I'm here to negotiate with you." He wasted no time."Negotiate? What is there to negotiate between us?" Adrian’s tone was sharp, belaying his intention of doing no such thing. To him, this battle had only winners and losers, with no room for negotiation.Richie seemed to und

They surrounded Adrian from all directions, each wearing a fierce and malevolent expression, seemingly intent on not letting him leave alive."What? Do you want to kill me? I thought you wanted to negotiate," Adrian said with a mocking smile. He knew they wouldn’t negotiate with him."Negotiate? Kid, you're a fool. How did someone as naive as you reach level nine?" Richie's words dripped with sarcasm."Because my strength surpasses yours by miles," Adrian said confidently, crossing his arms, remaining calm and composed."Damn it..." Melvin scowled, feeling annoyed every time he looked at Adrian. If it weren't for Richie and the others, he'd want to kill Adrian right away. "Let’s not waste words on him, Kieron. Just kill him already," he said."Yes, let's kill him," Cohen agreed."Since everyone agrees, I have no choice but to take action against you," Kieron said reluctantly.With that said, there was a loud bang as Kieron charged at Adrian. However, Richie and the others beside
