The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1459
Everything happened because the Mount Thunder Sect had the Spiritual Art manual.
“What’s going on?” James tried to get a handle on the situation.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Delainey had completely tuned him out. At that moment, she was entirely focused on Tapio.
“Delainey, we answer to different masters now. There’s no turning back anymore. You shouldn’t stay here. Go, get off this
mountain if you know what’s good for you,” Tapio gently warned her.
“What do you mean different masters? Who’s your master, Tapio?! You’re a disciple of Mount Thunder Sect, you...” In response
to his warning, Delainey fumed at his indifferent attitude.
“You impertinent child!” Delainey’s words seemed to have struck a nerve with Tapio and he roared furiously at her.
With a flash, he appeared in front of Delainey. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground.
Delainey never had a chance to respond to his blinding speed.
This move took even James by surprise.
Judging by his opponent’s speed, he was at least an eighth-rank grandmaster.
That would be the only explanation for his explosive burst of speed.
James did not immediately react to this because he was still confused by the situation.
He was unsure of the relationship between Delainey and the challenger since he heard her address him as her brother.
Tapio held a vice grip over Delainey’s neck, and her face turned red instantly. Mustering all her strength, she croaked out her
words with great difficulty. “T-Tapio, there’s still a chance for you to turn back. Spiritual Art is evil. There’s a reason why dad
refused to hand it to you. Cough...cough...”
She began to cough and sputter.
James felt concerned that Delainey would end up dying and stepped forward to intervene. “I’m the one you sent the letter to. She
has nothing to do with our duel so let her go.”

Tapio released his grip on Delainey.
Delainey fell to the ground and stumbled backward.
James quickly helped her up while asking, “Are you okay?”
Delainey shook her head with a grimace on her face.
Her eyes were fixated on the frail-looking Tapio. She stepped towards him and asked again, “Tapio, where have you been for the
past ten years?”
“James, prepare for our duel!”
Tapio ignored Delainey.
Suddenly, devastating energy erupted from his body.
The energy rushed up to the sky like a giant dragon, dispersing the clouds in the sky.
Delainey’s jaw hung open when she witnessed this.
