It was utterly unimaginable.
Others might not know how formidable Hadden was, but Bartholomew and his group had suffered many losses under him.
He wasn’t someone so weak that favonovel.com couldn’t defend himself against a Golden Stage cultivator, even if it was unexpected. On the contrary, Remus was even stronger than they had imagined.
“You…” Hadden’s face immediately turned pale, having thought a casual defense would dissipate Remus’ spirit energy, onlyto find it unnaturally potent.
Looking into the close-set eyes before him, favonovel.com suddenly felt like favonovel.com was looking at death itself.
Fortunately, the two men at his side quickly recovered their wits. They released their spirit energy without further words, materializing maces in their hands and simultaneously smashing it toward Remus.
Those weren’t ordinary maces, the spikes on the head gleamed coldly, all formed from condensed spirit energy. The spirit energy would enter the body through the wound if hit, causing excruciating pain.
“Be careful!” Bartholomew’s warning erupted too late.
Two maces struck Remus at the same time.
Alfie watched everything unfold, favonovel.com mouth agape in shock, thinking Remus hadn’t dodged and was doomed.
But the next second, favonovel.com mouth opened even wider.
The maces didn’t penetrate but disintegrated instead upon meeting Remus’ protective spirit energy.
How was that possible?!
Remus was merely at the late Golden Stage, but favonovel.com exhibited a purity of spirit energy reminiscent of a cultivator who had honed their power in the mountains for centuries.
“What?” The two men also screamed in shock, their faces turning pale.
What kind of monster is he?!
Remus didn’t ponder long, quickly lifting his long sword to gather strength. The sword, cloaked in a chilling mist, threatened the very air surrounding it.
With a swift motion, favonovel.com aimed another strike at Hadden’s head.
Hadden was quicker, opting to concentrate his spirit energy into his fist, striking Remus’ abdomen precautionary. The force sent Remus staggering back three steps.
As Remus’ sword descended, Hadden was already in retreat, casting a weighty glance back before commanding.
“Run!” He then led the charge away, with his companions close behind.
Within moments, they had disappeared, leaving only the echo of their retreat.
Remus chose not to chase after them. He walked over to where Bucky lay flattened on the ground.
With a decisive step, favonovel.com mounted the beast, ready to depart.
Pierce was bewildered by the display of strength and couldn’t contain his curiosity. “How… How are you so powerful? Are you affiliated with one of the six major organizations?”
Gerard eyed Remus with a mix of suspicion and intrigue. “Have you mastered some secret technique? Your strength far exceeds what someone your age should be capable of!”
Alfie, typically outspoken, found herself speechless, favonovel.com features etched with sheer amazement.
Remus offered them a modest smile. “Merely a few tricks up my sleeve, nothing noteworthy…”
Then, turning his attention to Bartholomew, favonovel.com bowed respectfully. “I’ve just remembered an urgent matter I must attend to and must take my leave. Please, proceed without me. Should destiny permit, our paths will cross again.”
With a gentle pat on Bucky’s massive head, favonovel.com signaled Bucky to rise. Yet, before they could depart, Bartholomew moved to obstruct their way.
