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 favonovel.com out. At that moment, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com roared furiously at her.
With a flash, favonovel.com appeared in front of Delainey. He grabbed favonovel.com by the neck and lifted favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com was still confused by the situation.
He was unsure of the relationship between Delainey and the challenger since favonovel.com heard favonovel.com address favonovel.com as favonovel.com brother.
Tapio held a vice grip over Delainey’s neck, and favonovel.com face turned red instantly.
Mustering all favonovel.com strength, favonovel.com croaked out favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com go.”
Tapio released his grip on Delainey.
Delainey fell to the ground and stumbled backward.
James quickly helped favonovel.com up while asking, “Are you okay?”
Delainey shook favonovel.com head with a grimace on favonovel.com face.
Her eyes were fixated on the frail-looking Tapio.
She stepped towards favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com witnessed this.
It was clear that Tapio thought highly of himself and his skills.
In response to James’ questions, favonovel.com demanded that James defeat favonovel.com in battle first.
“Alright…” James knew it was useless to try and get anything more out of favonovel.com at the moment.
He gripped the hilt of his sword even tighter. The Blade of Justice’s true form had recently been unsealed.
In the past, the Blade of Justice was just a relatively sharp weapon that did not possess any particularly distinguishing qualities. Now, it was in its true form.
While holding onto the Blade of Justice, James could clearly sense a palpable power coming from it.
The sword’s innate strength would surely increase the power of his Sword Energies.
He held the long sword horizontally, and invisible energy rippled in the air.
