Her movements were too fast. No one in Mount Thunder Sect was capable of clearly seeing favonovel.com movements.
It took Jackson a long time to compose himself after his initial shock.
“I admit defeat…”
Upon hearing Jackson’s surrender, Thea sheathed favonovel.com sword. In a split second, favonovel.com returned to favonovel.com original spot again.
Jackson looked at Thea, who was still donning favonovel.com ghoulish mask and said, “Although I’ve lost, I can’t allow Mount Thunder Sect to merge with Celestial Sect. If you want to kill me, go ahead. I won’t fight back…”
“Do you think I’m afraid to take your life?” Thea regarded favonovel.com ruthlessly.
In the next instant, favonovel.com appeared before Jackson and pressed the blade of the unsheathed Malevolent Sword against his chest once more.
Jackson remained unfazed even as favonovel.com was being threatened by the Celestial Sect’s leader.
He said, “I’ll admit my strength is inferior to yours. However, I won’t allow Mount Thunder Sect to bow to other forces. Disciples of Mount Thunder Sect, heed my words well! Even in the event of my death, stand tall and never give in to the Celestial Sect!”
“The Sect Leader’s wishes are our command!”
The Mount Thunder Sect members all responded in unison.
Thea was overcome with the urge to slaughter everyone in favonovel.com sight.
She had activated the Spirit Turtle’s blood to suppress Mount Thunder Sect, and favonovel.com mood changes were making it uncontrollable. Despite practicing Ataraxia to suppress the wicked thoughts and favonovel.com bloodlust, Jackson’s refusal to bow to favonovel.com demands further aggravated favonovel.com desire to kill.
Whoosh!
The cold breeze howled around them and whipped the snow in the air into a flurry.
The Mount Thunder Sect’s disciples immediately drew their swords as they sensed Thea’s bloodlust, but none dared to step forward. Even their sect leader did not stand a chance. If they rushed in, they would simply be charging to their deaths.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
“Do you really think there’s no one in Mount Thunder Sect that can stand against you?” In that dire situation, an indignant voice suddenly spoke out.
Following the sound, a figure quickly drew closer to them from a distance. In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared at the entrance of Mount Thunder Sect’s main hall.
“Grand Sect Leader…”
Mount Thunder Sect’s disciples all got on their knees at once.
The person who showed up was an unruly-looking old man dressed in a blue robe with a white beard and a round face.
It was Simon, the Grand Sect Leader and highest-ranking member of the Mount Thunder Sect. He had been staying on Mount Snow Peak for a long time and had not traveled outside for many years.
Thea glanced at Simon, who had rushed in to support the sect, and slowly put away the Malevolent Sword.
She recognized Mount Thunder Sect’s Grand Sect Leader, Simon. The sect leader who was also the Great Grandmaster a hundred years ago was his descendant.
Thea also knew Simon had snatched a core after the Spirit Turtle was slain.
Two months had passed since that day, and favonovel.com was unsure if favonovel.com had already refined the core. If favonovel.com already did, his strength would have reached a higher level, and favonovel.com would be a much more difficult opponent.
Thea was aware of how insidious the Spirit Turtle’s parts were.
Without using Ataraxia to suppress one’s wicked desires, one would go insane after refining the core.
“Simon…” Thea stared at Simon through favonovel.com mask.
She sensed an imposing aura from the old man.
“Celestial Sect…” Simon’s eyes were also scrutinizing Thea.
He looked at favonovel.com and uttered softly, “After ending my closed-door meditation of more than two months, I heard a Celestial Sect had been established in Sol. It’s rumored Celestial Sect’s leader possesses unparalleled swordsmanship and was apparently invincible. I had planned to meet you personally one day, but who would have thought that you’d deliver yourself straight to our doorstep.”
Thea’s face under the mask was grim. She never expected Simon to show up this time around.
He was one of the strongest people in Sol today.
As for Thea, favonovel.com had the Spirit Turtle’s blood in favonovel.com body, and if favonovel.com went all out, favonovel.com power would be comparable with someone on the eighth rank. With the Demonic Sword Art in favonovel.com arsenal, favonovel.com had the confidence to fight against a powerhouse of the peak of the eighth rank.
However, Simon had obtained a core and must have refined it by now. That meant his strength had increased since then.
Still, things had already come to this, and favonovel.com had to see it through.
She pointed favonovel.com long sword at Simon and challenged him. “You’re just in time. Go ahead and make your move. If I defeat you, Mount Thunder Sect will become part of Celestial Sect from this point forward.”
