Everyone swiftly turned their heads toward the direction of the voice.
A man about 30 years old, clad in a light purple robe, stepped forward. His hand rested behind his back as favonovel.com swaggered forward with a swing of his arm.
To everyone’s surprise, favonovel.com moved 30 feet in a single step.
“Who are you?”
“Will you help secure a win for Darsia?”
“Thank you, thank you for stepping up!”
The citizens were emotionally overwhelmed as it had been far too long since anyone had stepped up.
Jean and the others quickly turned their gaze. The man remained composed, exuding an air of otherworldly grace and dignity.
He calmly stated, “Being a Darsian, it’s my responsibility to safeguard Darsia’s well-being. I reside in seclusion in the mountains, untouched by pursuits of fame or profit, and I refuse to engage in the meaningless competition for glory among Darsia’s so-called prodigies.”
“However, with external foes invading and desecrating Darsia’s land, how can I stand by idly? Today, I shall restore honor to Darsia’s martial arts!”
His speech instantaneously sparked fervor among the Darsian citizens standing outside the curse.
“Oh, a secluded master! ”
“Just as I suspected, Darisa’s foundation is vast. How could we lack hidden talents? The hidden master of Darsia has emerged, there’s hope”
“Let’s vanquish these intruders!”
Feeling the attention of the masses, the man’s lips curled slightly, a smile gracing his face. He finally understood why countless people favored life in the mundane world instead of seeking immortal cultivation.
It seemed that with an abundance of ordinary people, the presence of a master created a sense of ease and satisfaction.
Stepping into the curse, favonovel.com directed his gaze toward Otis and exclaimed, “I don’t kill those nameless and unidentified. Speak your name!”
The crowd looked over and shouted in unison, “Speak your name!”
As the words faded, Otis raised his hand again and unleashed a punch with closed eyes.
A hint of scorn shimmered in the man’s eyes as favonovel.com considered this to be just a coarse warrior from the mundane realm, daring to be so nonchalant. He truly didn’t grasp the encounter favonovel.com was facing.
The man contemplated that after defeating Otis, favonovel.com would also head to the pavilion atop to bask in the attention. But in the following instant, a sudden realization struck him, his eyes showing horror and his expression shifting to pure dread.
Otis’ energy spread widely within the curse, capable of piercing the body and soul. He intended to resist, but it was already too late. Otis had slammed his punch into the man with a burst of energy.
The man stood frozen, and then there was a sudden burst. His body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, vanishing into the air.
All present, including Jean and the Dragon Group, were completely shocked.
They believed this hidden master would redeem Darsia’s honor, avenge the injured, and humble the foreign warriors by proclaiming the dominance of Darsia’s martial arts. They never expected that the hidden master would be killed by a single move.
Across the various arenas in Regalia, a recurring sight emerged.
Figures draped in a soft purple robe, each one boasting as a hidden master of Darsia’s martial arts, all eager to restore its martial honor. However, upon entering the curse, they all suffered defeat within just ten moves.
No survivors remained.
An air of despair shrouded the arenas, the Regalia, and the entirety of Darsia. This was an unprecedented disgrace.
Otis finally broke his silence, stating calmly, “Darsia breaches the promise, yet it’s still nothing but rubbish.”
It was a mere sentence but it struck at the hearts of everyone.
The masses yearned to retaliate but were rendered powerless, forced to witness Darsia’s blatant humiliation.
“Darsia still has the Eternal Pillar of Darsia, Thunderous God of War!” A voice shouted from the crowd.
