Chapter 1415
The Blood Emperor did not dare receive her blow and hurriedly dodged.
Holding the epee in hand, Lucjan charged over to him and cried out, “Use all of your strength. Or else, we won’t be able to defeat
the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader.”
“Got it.”
The Blood Emperor shouted.
A red glow emerged from his palm and formed a long red sword. Holding the sword in his hand, he attacked Thea from behind.
The fierce battle raged on.
With the Spirit Turtle’s power, the Demonic Sword Art, the Demonic Breath, and her Murderous Energy, Thea managed to stand
her ground against two of the most powerful figures in the world.
On a rock in the distance, an elderly man wearing a white robe sat.
He watched the battle from afar.
Seeing the masked Thea and the Malevolent Sword she wielded, his expression was solemn, “The Malevolent Sword... Who is
the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect? Is it Thea?”
The man was none other than Thomas Caden.
He was currently at the peak of late-stage eighth rank and a step away from ascending the Skyward Stairway. Though he did not
obtain the Spirit Turtle core, he obtained its bile. The bile was no less effective than the core.
For the past few months, he had been in closed-door meditation. After learning of the international martial arts conference, he
hurriedly made his way here to watch the show. However, he did not show himself. Instead, he concealed himself in the
shadows.
Upon seeing the Malevolent Sword wielded by the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, Thomas suspected her identity. He remembered
that Thea could negate the adverse effects generated by the Malevolent Sword. He also knew that she had the Malevolent
Sword in her possession.
However, he knew that Thea was only a third-rank grandmaster. Meanwhile, the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader before him was at
least eighth-rank and above. She must have ascended the second stair of the Skyward Stairway.
“Demonic Sword Art?”
Thomas could recognize the invincible sword technique created by the Malevolent King while he was in a state of insanity. He
had seen the sword technique before but had no way of cultivating it.
So, upon seeing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect performing such a technique, he could not help but stand and exclaim,
“Who is that?”
His expression was grim. “What dreary True Energy... Performing the Demonic Sword Art with her True Yin Energy allowed the
power of the Demonic Sword Art to reach greater heights.”
Thomas offered his evaluations as he watched the battle from afar. Upon seeing Thea standing her ground by herself, his heart
skipped a beat.
The battle raged on.
Meanwhile...
The Gu Sect swiftly left after abducting the martial artists. However, before they could leave, a man wearing a mask blocked their
path.
He stood in the middle of the path with his hands to the back.
A Gu Sect martial artist brandished his sword and yelled, “Who’s there?”
Callan slowly removed his mask.
“Wh-What...?”
Upon seeing this, the martial artists of the Gu Sect froze and staggered backward.
Wearing an expressionless look on his face, Callan said, “You’re all part of the Gu Sect. As the former Sect Leader, I couldn’t
bring myself to harm you. However, you all have strayed away from the right path.” Callan shook his head. They were once his
subordinates. Now, they colluded with Lucjan and committed wicked deeds. He promised James that he would annihilate the Gu
Sect if he could not win over the sect’s disciples.
“C-Callan Maverick... I thought you were dead!”
“Hmph!”
Callan smiled slightly.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared only to reappear behind the Gu Sect. Then, they collapsed to the ground and lay there
motionless.
The abducted martial artists were all dumbfounded.
What kind of place was Sol? Why was it full of powerful martial artists?
