"Gavin Martinez! You are truly arrogant! Fine! If you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"

Cold Nelson sat on his throne, looking down from above.

He is now the emperor.

The ruler of the world!

He is the heavens!

"Who will crush him for me?" Cold Nelson pointed at Gavin Martinez, his eyes showing contempt. "This will be the first merit."

"I'm willing to fight." A scholarly-looking man stepped forward, came before Cold Nelson, and slightly bowed.

Originally from the martial arts world, he was hunted after an affair with his master's wife.

Cold Nelson was gathering talents from across the world; seeing the scholar's abilities, he kept him for his own use.

He is now part of the Military Department.

After the true king of the Military Department was killed, Cold Nelson implanted his forces there.

And now that Eliezer Pine had left, the Military Department was entirely his.

"Patrick Leopold. If you can slay this old fool, I'll name you a general of the Military Department!" Cold Nelson pointed at him, his eyes filled with excitement. "Don't disappoint me! Also, leave this old fool alive; I want him to kneel before me!"

"As you wish, my king." Patrick Leopold dressed in all white, his long hair tied up.

In his hand, he held a white paper fan!

At first glance, one might think he was Elaenor Wood.

But the craftsmanship of the fan was inferior.

Elaenor Wood's new fan was made from the Luminous Pearl Julius Reed had dug out from his sleeping palace, ground into powder, and inscribed with characters.

At night, it shines bright!

The fan's skeleton was Julius Reed's chopsticks, made from superior wood three thousand years old.

As for the paper on it.

Though a bit shabby, it was at least unused toilet paper from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

Covered in diamond dust, the radiant glow was dazzling!

Comparatively, the scholar's fan, though made from superior sandalwood and Xuan paper, seemed a bit ordinary.

On it was written "charming and gracefully."

But if he wins, that would truly be charming and gracefully.

"I am Patrick Leopold, a low-level expert from Demarco Mount, not up to par. Now, acting on behalf of the heavens, in the name of the Lord, I send you to hell!"

Patrick Leopold's lips curved into a smile as he soared into the air!

Straightly rushing toward Gavin Martinez!

He was a Grandmaster of the Scholar's Way, relaxed in every move he made.

"Old fool, the wrath of a scholar can leave corpses for a thousand miles! Never underestimate a man of letters!"

In an instant!

A stack of scrolls appeared before Patrick Leopold!

The scrolls seemed both real and illusory, making it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood!

These scrolls grew ever brighter as he progressed!

This was purely transformed by the spiritual power within his body!

Seemingly, the entire Dusty Platform could hear the sound of pages turning.

"As expected of a fierce general, truly honoring our Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!" Cold Nelson smiled.

Having just seized power, he needed a battle to boost his reputation!

Perfect!

Having a master like Patrick Leopold in battle, couldn't be more fitting!

"Old fool, today I won't kill you, just teach you humanity!" He soared into the air, getting ever closer to Gavin Martinez!

"Demarco Mount truly has masters, such Grandmasters in Scholar's Way are extremely rare. In comparison, Gavin Martinez's Sword Dao seems somewhat insignificant."

"The battle between Great Grandmasters is far from simple. Every move and gesture can determine victory or defeat. Watch, this is destined to be an earth-shattering battle!"

The Martial Arts Grandmasters kept their eyes unblinking, staring intently at the scene.

This was the first solo battle at the Dusty Platform!

The Gate of Heaven and Earth, long dormant, entered battle with arch-rival Demarco Mount from the start!

Undoubtedly capturing everyone's attention!

"What do you think?" Hiddy curled up like a kitten in Julius Reed's arms, lazily asking.

"I can't bear to watch." Julius Reed gently stroked her hair, not even looking.

Such low-tier battles were utterly meaningless to watch.

Julius Reed's true objective was the five monks atop the Dusty Platform!

There's definitely something odd here.

In that case, today let's surround the Dusty Platform!

See what tricks they can pull.

On the platform!

Patrick Leopold glowed with golden light, resembling a saint!

"Today, on this Dusty Platform, I, Patrick, will obliterate myriad paths and solely honor the Scholar's Way!"

As soon as he spoke!

A book appeared floating in the air!

The pages slowly closed, seemingly intending to envelop Gavin Martinez within!

Once imprisoned, even a Great Grandmaster would be hard-pressed to escape death!

"Charming talent hiding beauty in a golden house, today I hide you, old fool!"

Patrick Leopold clapped his hands!

"All show and no substance." Gavin Martinez flicked his Longsword upwards with his foot, grabbing it immediately!

Then!

He thrust forward!

Crack!

The golden book was instantly pierced.

The Longsword encountered no resistance, straight through Patrick Leopold's body!

The sword emerged, covered in blood.

Gavin Martinez landed, looking disdainful.

Thud!

Patrick Leopold's body collapsed.

Dead.

Back to basics.

All the ostentation seemed so laughable.

At the Dusty Platform, there was dead silence.

Just died like that?

Cold Nelson's smile hadn't faded, but his eyes filled with astonishment.

"What's going on?" He stood, looking at the martial artist beside him: "What's going on! Did he cheat somehow!"

"Lord, Patrick Leopold is dead," someone whispered.

"Bullshit! Patrick Leopold is a Grandmaster of Scholar's Way, how could he die! Say! Did the old fool cheat?" Cold Nelson couldn't accept this fact.

Though he was a Grandmaster, how could he just die so easily?

"Lord, Patrick Leopold is really dead..." Even the generals didn't want to accept it, but wasn't that old man too strong?

The battle between Great Grandmasters defies all logic.

Who lives or dies is in the flicker of a thought.

"Does the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance still have anyone capable of fighting?" Gavin Martinez pointed his sword at Cold Nelson, calmly asking: "If you do, then come and fight! If not... haha, then please come down and bow to me!"

They didn't know that the Gate of Heaven and Earth endured shame for so long.

The Martinez family had waited for this day, for countless years!

Gavin Martinez was going to become a legend with one battle, directly defeating the battered Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!

The first battle, proving his speculation completely right!

Demarco Mount, sunset in the west!

Utterly incomparable!

"Who will go! Kill him, and I'll make that person the true king of the Military Department!" Cold Nelson looked at the generals behind him, almost frantic!

But no one dared go.

After the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance fell apart, many masters ignored worldly matters or remained neutral.

After Cold Nelson rose as a puppet, he purged a group, leading to a loss of support, weakening the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's power.

Now, he brought many martial artists who sought refuge.

The elite group had just been taken by Eliezer Pine.

Cold Nelson, as the Lord, suddenly realized he had no one useful!

His trusted aides lacked battle capability, primarily serving as spies to monitor Eliezer Pine's movements.

"Is there no one in the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance who can stand up?" Gavin Martinez shouted: "Such trash, how does he have the virtue and ability to sit atop Wayland! You, get down here!"

"Insolence! Get rid of him! All of you, attack!" Cold Nelson's fury overwhelmed him!

In an instant.

Dozens of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance members charged!

"Break the rules, die!"

Boom!

A pit appeared in the arena, with dozens falling into it.

"Rules cannot be broken." The monk spoke.
