The Almighty Dragon General

James’ body fell backward for some distance before slamming hard into the ground.
Thump! The impact from his fall was so large that the earth began to crack. The cracks extended continuously. Thankfully, this
was in Mount Heavenly Path where the Macrocosm Ancestral God could regulate any sort of immense power, making sure that
no damage is too great for Mount Heavenly Path.
All of a sudden, all of the cracks disappeared as if they were never there before. Dead silence echoed across the void, even
though millions of living beings were present.
All of them knew the extent of James’ capability. From the moment he left the Callahan family, he defeated the thirtieth figure on
the Martial Ranking. His rank and power have ascended ever since, yet he was so easily defeated by the second runner-up on
the Ranking. This just goes to show how big is the difference in capacity between number third and number thirtieth of the
ranking.
Back at Herschel Palace of Mount Heavenly Path, Herschel could not suppress his giggle. He took a look at Thea, and asked,
“Being an intelligent woman such as yourself and someone at the top ten powerful figures in the universe, I’m sure you’re able to
see how strong Gutierre is. Would you be willing to suppress your rank at the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank to fight against
Gutierre?”
Thea shook her head slightly. While she was indeed a rare gem herself, she would not be able to beat Gutierre if she
suppressed her rank.
“I’ve long heard of how legendary the top three of the Martial Ranking are. Now that I’ve seen it for myself, the rumors have
merely affirmed themselves,” she spoke softly. She was, in fact, worried about James. Thea looked at Sienna, who had a worried
expression on her face as well. At this very moment, she felt like she was at fault. If James had not come to Mount Heavenly
Path for the marriage, he would certainly be able to survive the stipulated time limit using his tactics. Yet, it was she who led
James into this catastrophe, putting not only him but also Sienna in danger.
Outside of Mount Heavenly Path, James stood up from the ground, wiping off the fresh blood dripping from the edge of his
mouth. Then, he summoned the Life Path. The Life Path’s energy came like waves, recovering all of his inner injuries. He
mobilized his joints and a smile appeared on his face.
“How strong, how very strong,” he said as he looked at Gutierre, “Among all of the opponents I’ve met thus far, you’re probably
the most frightening one.”

Gutierre displayed his appalling power, but this only triggered James’ desire for more battle.
“Come,” James roared.
“As you wish,” Gutierre answered coldly.
All of a sudden, he appeared in front of James at a speed so rapid that James, who was standing in the Space Path, could not
sense Gutierre’s tracks. Gripping his fists, Gutierre then gave James a blow in the chest. This strike encapsulated immense
energy, so much so that the impact caused his chest to sink.
Gutierre did not give James an opportunity to catch his breath. He continuously hit James hundreds and thousands of times.
Each strike was faster than the one before, and James had absolutely no time to react. Those strikes caused him thousands and
hundreds of inner injuries.
Finally, Gutierre appeared on top of James’ head. With a wave of the hand, all Paths’ power gathered together, forming a blue
power ball, descending head-on onto James. James’ body fell from the sky upon impact.
Thump! A bottomless pit appeared on the ground, spurring up a sky full of dust.
