Chapter 3439
Hearing Fade's words, Pearce was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing.
"Haha! I'm a nonentity? Haha!"
"I know that you're not from the Taeyoon World. You're from above, and that's why you're also known as the oracle."
"So what? It doesn't matter whether you' re man or god because strength is the most important thing."
"If you're a god, then I, Pearce Yang, will kill a god right here and then today!"
When Pearce said that, his eyes shone with arrogance.
The guards and soldiers around Fade could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Fade remained calm. With a chuckle, he pointed out, "It seems that you have full confidence in your strength!"
"You'll soon find out whether I'm confident or
not."
Pearce snorted and waved his hand.
"Charge!"
In an instant, more than a hundred elite soldiers activated their positive energy and rushed over, roaring.
With a massive saber in hand, Pearce swung it in the air, forming a crescent arc. With a roar, he slashed towards Fade. "Die!"
The terrifying positive energy suppressed the air into bursting, producing a series of crackling sounds.
The positive energy bursting from the tip of the blade morphed into even more sharp blades that whizzed over.
That strike was full of momentum.
In the face of the strike, however, Fade silently shook his head.
He didn't dodge at all. Instead, he moved forward and punched out.
"Bang!"
Fade's fist collided with Pearce's gigantic saber in the air.
For a moment, waves of positive energy scattered in all directions as the air rumbled.
"You..." Pearce gritted his teeth and continued exerting force, trying to slash at Fade.
As he exerted his strength, Fade's right hand trembled slightly.
With a crack, the long saber in Pearce's hand could no longer withstand the horrifying force as it shattered into pieces.
"How is this possible? My sword. This-This isn't..." Pearce was shocked. He had never expected such a thing to happen.
Fade smashed his carefully- carved sword into smithereens with his bare hands.
But for Fade, it was not worth mentioning.
Fade's physical body was the Ice Frost Divine Body of the Earth Yuan World. It was not a big deal if it could shatter a long saber.
After the surprise settled in, Pearce, who was indeed an experienced veteran that had been on the battlefield for decades, came to his senses and roared, "Get into formation and attack at the same time."
In an instant, hundreds of warriors swiftly took action. With Pearce as the center, they gathered to form an octagon.
Positive energy circulated the region and whistled.
Everyone's aura gathered on Pearce, who was at the center of the formation.
Pearce's strength was at Stage 8 of Physical Refine Realm. With the aid of the formation, his aura surged to Stage 9 of Physical Refine Realm and showed no signs of stopping. He could vaguely break through to Soul Refine Realm.
"Kill!"
With another roar, Pearce's whole self radiated layers of yellow light. His body seemed to have enlarged as he attempted to rush towards Fade.
The wind whistled.
The sound came charging in waves, as magnificent as a mountain. Behind Pearce, a huge ax had condensed. It was vigorous and turbulent, surging with tremendous momentum.
"Split the mountain apart!"
Pearce roared, grabbed the invisible giant ax, and hacked at Fade at an incredible speed.
The move was multiple times as powerful as its previous.
The powerful aura of the ax seemed to be able to split the entire mountain into halves.
The ax was Pearce's ultimate unique skill. He was using the condensed Yuan Seal, otherwise known as the Mountain Splitting Ax.
With the use of the Yuan Seal and the strength of the formation, Pearce's ax possessed a terrifying destructive power comparable to that of a first- stage Soul Refine Realm expert.
The air whistled and rumbled.
The ax slashed downwards, aiming at Fade.
Sensing the incredible aura, Fade's skin went numb and vaguely popped up with a layer of goosebumps.
Seeing that, Fade gently shook his head and sighed. "Alas. You're too weak. You're merely at the first stage of Soul Refine Realm, yet I instinctively sensed danger."
All of once, the light in Fade's eyes dimmed before an enormous sword covered with cracks appeared in his right hand. He charged head-on and chopped at Pearce.
The knife was the Yuan Seal Vincenzo had simulated for Fade, known as the Cracking Blade.
The knife and ax whistled and finally collided in the air.
A loud slap rang out.
With ease, Pearce's attack, which had been full of momentum, could not withstand Fade's ordinary strike.
The huge ax Yuan Seal was smashed by Fade's Cracking Blade and exploded mid-air.
Cracking Blade continued charging forward. The sharp Qi-blade chopped at Pearce.
Pearce, who had been full of confidence and had been ready to give a fatal blow, had never expected the result.
He instinctively reacted by rolling out of the formation.
"Boom!"
The blade slashed onto the ground, brushing past Pearce's body.
There then came a loud noise accompanied by screams from all directions.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The hundreds of mighty soldiers in the formation were unable to dodge in time. They were struck by the blade and died instantly.
Although Pearce was not struck
head-on, his Yuan Seal Mountain
Splitting Ax was smashed, so his body suffered the counterattack. He spat out a mouthful of blood his face pale.
He looked up and saw Fade turning around to walk towards him.
All at once, Pearce's eyes were filled with horror and panic. Disbelief crept up his face.
"How is this possible? How..."
In his opinion, he had secretly investigated Fade for three months and had already figured out his strength. At most, Jacob was at Stage 1 of Soul Refine Realm.
As for Pearce himself, his strength was at Stage of Physical Refine Realm. With the aid of the great formation, he had broken through to Stage 9 of Physical Refine Realm Furthermore, he could perfectly unleash the strength of a Stage 1 Soul Refine Realm martial artist in a short period by manipulating his Yuan Seal.
He had perfectly carried out his plan and had exploded with the strength of Stage 1 of Soul Refine Realm.
His attack of that of Stage 1 Soul Refine Realm was, however, shattered by Fade, who was at the same stage as him.
It implied that they were not at the same stage.
"This- This is impossible. Why- Why is this happening?"
Fade stared at Pearce, who was muttering to himself. He stepped forward, landed his condescending eyes on kim, and coldly said, "I mentioned that you treated the
ordinary as nonentities. In my eyes, you're no different from a nonentity as well."
"Speak. What else is there to say?" Fade raised his right hand.
Pearce's eyes were full of horror. He wanted to fight back, but once he sensed the aura of Fade's palm, he instantly lost the courage to do so.
In the end, he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Oracle, I was wrong. I won't do it again. I won't do it again. Please spare my life!"
"Please, I'm begging of you."
Fade sneered and mocked, "If you die standing, I might still be able to think highly of you."
Pearce's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and turned from begging for mercy to putting on a fierce expression. "You can't kill me. If you kill
me, your woman will die."
"Isabelle!" Fade's heart skipped a beat.
Pearce threatened, "It's her. During this period, I requested Mr. Tegan's daughter to hang out with her. This moment is what I've been waiting for."
"As long as you let me go safely, I can guarantee that Isabelle won't be in danger."
While speaking, Pearce carefully retreated and attempted to escape.
At that moment, however, the corners of Fade's mouth raised, revealing a sneer. "Do you think that I will leave my woman alone in the city without
any preparations?"
"You..." Pearce's expression changed greatly.
Fade was not the slightest bothered to explain to him. He had left the Fire Dragon by Isabelle's side to protect her.
Then, Fade raised his right hand, his positive energy roaring like a sharp knife that was about to descend from the sky.
"No. No..."
That time, Pearce was scared out of his wits. His eyes flared with the last desire to survive as he wildly shouted at the north forest.
"Mr. Song, save me! Save me!"
