The sight of Bason being cleaved into two stunned everyone present. All eyes were fixed on the scene, but they couldn’t dispel the disbelief in their heart.
Their disbelief stemmed from witnessing Bason’s swift transition from a menacing, powerful figure to being in a defeated and perished state.
Bason held the prestigious rank of 68th in the Ancient Martial Arts Ranking. Putting that into context with the world’s seven billion people, favonovel.com was an unparalleled one-in-a-billion exceptional force.
Such a formidable figure being slain by a Martial Imperial was beyond comprehension and explanation.
The crowd struggled to believe it, and Bason was also in disbelief. Even after being cleaved, favonovel.com held onto his life. His eyes swirled in their sockets, desperately trying to glance downward to inspect his own body. However, as favonovel.com lowered his head, his body that had just been split in two started to separate in opposite directions.
Amid the dizzying whirl of his surroundings, favonovel.com stubbornly gazed at Remus and, with his last breath, spoke the words favonovel.com had kept unspoken until then, “How can you practice both Martial Arts and cultivation? You… You‘re disregarding martial ethics!”
His body slammed onto the water’s surface.
The impact sound was minimal, almost negligible compared to the thunderous waves heard moments before. However, that sound landed solidly in everyone’s heart, leaving a lasting impact.
“You you killed Bason Duncan?!” Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The crowd instantly snapped back to reality.
Ana appeared as if favonovel.com had witnessed a monster. The day had been filled with too many twists and turns.
There were several times when favonovel.com was convinced that Remus had faced his end, but ultimately, not only was favonovel.com alive, favonovel.com also succeeded in killing Bason.
“W-What… What is this…” Linnea exclaimed in fear, almost on the verge of fainting, judging from favonovel.com continuous strange noises.
“Hero, you’ve won!” The tourists on the cruise ship also erupted in cheers.
They stood on the deck, cheering and celebrating. Some even spontaneously burst into song and dance.
Suddenly, the water column beneath Remus disappeared, and favonovel.com dropped into the sea with a splash, floating with his arms outstretched.
The water column was initially formed using Remus’ divine energy, which had now depleted entirely. Combined with his body on the brink of collapse and the repercussions of using Wizardry, these factors almost caused Remus’ mental breakdown.
At that moment, even a Grandmaster could effortlessly take favonovel.com down. In his state of dizziness, favonovel.com suddenly caught the sound of footsteps nearby.
Ana strode across the sea toward him, one hand clutching favonovel.com chest and favonovel.com face pallid.
She lowered favonovel.com head and cast an unfamiliar look at Remus, saying, “Congratulations! You’ve not only defeated the 11 Martial Imperials but also vanquished Bason. When you return to the clan, no one will be able to criticize you. You’ve stayed true to your initial promise, to return proudly!”
After delivering those words with seriousness, favonovel.com still harbored doubts about whether everything that unfolded at that moment was real or just an illusion.
Remus flashed a weary smile and said, “Thanks. I also owe it to you… Even if Bason couldn’t penetrate my defenses, I wouldn’t have been able to retaliate without your intervention. Ultimately, my defeat was inevitable. You were able to drain his strength and that allowed me to deliver the decisive blow…”
Remus had nearly the same amount of divine energy as Bason’s strength. If it hadn’t been for Ana and the eight Supreme Martial Sovereigns’ assistance, favonovel.com wouldn’t have had the confidence to land a decisive blow to defeat Bason.
Ana kept favonovel.com eyes fixed on him, seeming to hold back what favonovel.com wanted to express.
She replied bluntly, “Remus Cosby, despite your pretentious character and flirtatious tendencies, today’s events have significantly changed my perception of you!”
Lacking the strength to explain further, Remus suggested, “Let’s make a swift flee. The delay in the Rose family receiving news from Bason might prompt them to send someone to investigate. If more people arrive, our chances of escaping will decrease, and it’ll be a dead end for us…”
Ana blinked in surprise and questioned, “Flee?”
Remus noticed favonovel.com perplexity and conveyed with a hint of distress, “I merely wished to prove myself, but I’m not seeking death. It’s foolish to keep walking a path you know leads to certain doom!”
Ana instinctively questioned, “Aren’t you deliberately seeking for…”
