Life After Prison

Chapter 2050
Sian tasted a metallic tang at the back of his tongue as he regurgitated blood. Even the Golden Spirit Constitution, the strongest
element of the constitution, suffered numerous hairline cracks. Though he was able to dodge Severin’s lethal blow, his strength
had waned noticeably.
His hair was a mess, and there were red blotches all across his body. His strength was being sapped more and more as he
battled the chaotic swordwill that invaded his body. Meanwhile, Severin exuded a blazing aura that radiated with shimmering
light. The Scarletsky Sword resonated with a predatory glint, thus rendering any hope of resistance futile. Continuing the battle
would be detrimental. Doubt crept into
Sian as he clutched the golden lance tremblingly.
Severin looked at Sian’s sorry state and laughed mockingly, “And you call yourself a prodigy? I didn’t even have to break a
sweat!”
Sian’s face reddened in shame. He had never faced such humiliation before, as he usually had no difficulty securing victory.
Before he could say anything, another huge sword beam sliced through the air before him. The nearly hundred–meter–long
energy brought fear and panic to Sian.
Severin’s earlier attacks had nearly claimed his life, and he was already gravely injured. Drawing the battle out any further would
result in dire consequences. More importantly, Severin’s strength cast a shadow of fear over him, as the former’s strength never
once dwindled in their continued exchanges.
Sian chose to ignore the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus in favor of making an escape. As he fled, he roared,” This isn’t over! I’ll get my
revenge on you eventually!”
Severin watched as Sian left in the blink of an eye. He scoffed and put away his Scarletsky Sword.
Uzair could only watch the scene in confoundment. The grand battle that he had expected to see ended in Sian’s miserable
retreat. He could only sigh, as Sian could hardly match Severin’s strength despite wielding his trump card and unleashing his full
power.
“What a pity. I thought Sian would be able to kill him.” Uzair left in a streak of light after casting a cold glance at Severin.
When Sian and Uzair fled, Tobias followed suit and left.

The once aggressive trio disappeared at the horizon, leaving the crowd at the foot of the mountain buzzing with discussion.
“Did I see that right? Did Sian just... run away?”
“That guy is a monster. Even Sian’s trump card and his Golden Spirit Constitution stood little chance
“Little chance? More like no chance at all! He was already puking blood after a few moves! He would’ve been dead by now if he
hadn’t run off!”
“Severin is practically invincible among the new generation of Southsky’s practitioners!”
“I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. Let’s not forget about Karl, who’s in the same sect as him, Simeon from the Deifirm Sect, and
Callie from the Marvair Sect. I think these three would stand a chance against him.”
“That might not necessarily be the case. Those three are Southsky’s top prodigies who have already reached paragon. Sian is
leagues behind them!”
