"You're talking to me about rules?" Julius Reed raised his head, and the longsword in his hand was hurled forward!

Boom!

A loud explosion!

The high platform was blown apart!

Five monks leapt into the air, but the one who had spoken was still thrown onto the high platform.

"Rules have always been set by the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! Who gave you the courage to boast about rules under my rule?"

Julius Reed extended his hand and grasped the hilt of the golden sword.

The vibrations on the stage disappeared.

Clearly, the monk was struck away, interrupting the opening of the mechanism.

"Langley from Mountain of Leaving, please give guidance!"

Just then, an elder stepped directly out of the void and landed in the center of the stage.

"Mountain of Leaving? What is your relation to Mr. Ghost from Mountain of Leaving?" Julius Reed scrutinized the bluish-faced elder before him, who seemed to have long been practicing a certain cultivation technique, resulting in poor complexion.

"He is my brother! How do you know him?" Jayden Calliope lightly frowned.

Mr. Ghost left Mountain of Leaving long ago, once awe-inspiring in all directions, unleashing a reign of terror!

Unfortunately, he was struck, suppressed by a formation in the Black Prison of the Black Pine League.

Mountain of Leaving sent people to rescue him several times, but each time they were killed on the way, never finding out who the murderer was.

Gradually, Mountain of Leaving gave up.

Because they knew that the ones who struck down Mr. Ghost were indeed people from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

Now, the true master was right in front of him, Jayden Calliope wanted to seize this opportunity.

If he could defeat the master in such a setting, Mountain of Leaving would rise in fame!

The more dangerous the trade, the greater the returns.

This is an eternal truth.

"I killed your brother." The moment Julius Reed held the sword, the power within him began to surge!

A familiar feeling!

After all, what he held in his hand was no mere sword!

It was the national destiny of that time!

"You..." Jayden Calliope's eyes changed, swinging out a punch directly!

His weapon was an iron hammer!

Julius Reed sidestepped, the iron hammer smashed directly into the stage!

Boom!

A loud crash.

The stones of the stage cracked, dust soared.

Yet Julius Reed felt little, just a bit of numbness in his leg from the shock.

He lifted his right foot, stomping directly on the iron hammer.

"Hurgh..." Jayden Calliope struggled to pull out the iron hammer, but the hammer seemed fixed, motionless!

"Worthy of being the master, quite capable." He laughed softly, releasing his hands. "But by challenging you today, I am equally prepared!"

Having said that, he suddenly flung out several paper charms!

Dao Techniques!

Julius Reed retreated, slashing down with a sword!

Sila!

Sword Qi oscillated, colliding with the paper charms!

A series of explosive crackles erupted in the air!

Those paper charms were made with spirit potions and placed in areas rich in Spiritual Energy.

They contained extremely fierce power!

The paper charms exploded, releasing their Spiritual Power, causing significant destructive force!

Julius Reed broke the paper charms with Sword Qi, retreating consecutively!

Taking advantage of the moment, Jayden Calliope swung the iron hammer again, charging wildly!

He leapt high, the iron hammer in his hand swung with the momentum of splitting Uriah Mount, smashing furiously!

Electric light swirled on the hammer, similar to the Spiritual Power within the paper charms!

This time, Julius Reed didn't dodge, but directly faced it!

Clang!

A loud collision!

The iron hammer struck the sword.

Electric shimmer incessantly sparkled!

Julius Reed held the sword with both hands, stubbornly resisting the hammer!

The two were locked in place at the center of the stage!

"Is it worth draining Mountain of Leaving's source of Spiritual Power for this battle?" Julius Reed spoke.

This iron hammer held the Spiritual Energy of the entire Mountain of Leaving!

Jayden Calliope had somehow infused it into the hammer!

Because of this, the hammer held the power to destroy everything.

However—

The sword Julius Reed wielded contained national destiny!

The fortune of a whole nation!

In the era of the Seventh Emperors, the fortune soared skyward!

Far surpassing weapons forged by Pranay Martinez in his later years!

"Once I defeat you, Mountain of Leaving can control vast territories, and then, Spiritual Power will be available in abundance, won't it?" Jayden Calliope sneered, his strength increased!

"I admire your arrogance, but you're not young." Julius Reed pushed forward with power from his feet!

Leap!

One step!

Jayden Calliope stepped back!

A trace of surprise flashed across his face!

Incredibly...

The opponent carried Mountain of Leaving's Spiritual Power while advancing!

Two steps!

Julius Reed took a second step!

Forcing Jayden Calliope back again!

Three steps!

"Ah!" Jayden Calliope roared, his bluish face grew darker, but he didn't care, gritted his teeth, and pushed forward!

Today's battle, he could only succeed, not fail!

"You're not my match."

Julius Reed held the sword, suddenly rotated!

Directly sending the iron hammer flying!

Bang!

Jayden Calliope was hit by the iron hammer, his entire body enveloped by Spiritual Power!

Directly exploding!

Clang!

The shattered hammer fell to the ground.

Along with the pervasive scent of blood.

Mountain of Leaving drained the region's Spiritual Power, sealed it in the hammer with Dao techniques, but still couldn't win?

For a moment, the martial arts world was somewhat despondent.

"Rules cannot be broken." A monk slowly descended from the high platform.

The martial artists' spirits lifted!

They knew the Dusty Platform was about to act!

"Bullshit rules." Julius Reed turned around, staring at the old monk. "The sword in my hand is the rule!"

"In the Dusty Platform, everything must abide by the rules, no one can break them." The elder quickly appeared in front of Julius Reed!

No one saw how he moved, how he proceeded!

The next moment!

The old monk raised his hand, directly striking out!

Julius Reed sidestepped, dodging the palm strike!

Boom!

The entire air vibrated!

The martial artists felt their hearts flinch!

It seemed the whole space was pierced by that palm strike!

"Who is this old monk, he's far too strong!"

"I received information that it was the Dusty Platform that intervened back then, organizing people to eliminate the master! You think the Dusty Platform can announce the Heaven List based on what? It's this strength!"

"If that's the case, Julius Reed may not live to leave today! Once he leaves, the Dusty Platform will lose all credibility!"

The martial artists debated fervently, their emotions wildly stirred!

This Julius Reed, stirring trouble on someone else's territory, was overly arrogant!

He deserves a lesson!

"You broke the rule, and must die by it." The old monk spoke again.

Julius Reed felt something was very wrong!

He seemed to have heard these words before!

Prophecy!

It's prophecy!

The representative of prophecy always emphasizes rules!

Years back, Julius Reed broke the rules set by prophecy, striking down six emperors, inciting prophecy's retaliation!

Causing a second personality to be manufactured within him.

Now, this old monk in front always emphasizing rules, how similar to prophecy back then?

"Are you the representative of prophecy?" Julius Reed asked.

"You must die." The old monk raised his hand, seemingly weak, yet carrying unstoppable force!

"Good! Today, let's settle new grievances and old scores!"

Whoosh!

On the longsword, ghostly flames ignited!

Julius Reed's eyes turned blood-red!

The Dragon King Ring emitted black smoke!

Bang!

Julius Reed's hand enveloped in black vapor collided directly with the old monk!

The longsword in hand slashed down!

Glug.

The old monk's hollow eyes opened.

The head fell!

Where was the body!

It was just a robe, a head, plus hands and feet!

ps: Reader Little Rest for Ten Years in the comment section yesterday said my two updates at 2 AM daily, rules cannot be broken.

Today at midnight, three updates...

Consider it breaking the rules, right...

To shatter his doubts about me, I wrote until now. (manually making a dog head)
