"Killing people at the slightest provocation is really too impolite." The man drinking didn’t even turn his head but instead tossed the wine in his hand.

The splashed wine solidified in mid-air, neither falling nor spreading further.

Motionless.

Crack!

The barrier formed by the wine shattered.

The man didn’t fall but filled another cup with wine and continued drinking.

"I’ve given you enough face and enough reason to live," he said coldly, downing the bowl of wine and standing up to look at the True Lord of Nine Heavens, "but you, yourself, do not appreciate it, thus I have no choice but to kill you."

"I have a rule." The man, hands behind his back, wearing a black cloak and a conical hat, stepped towards the True Lord of Nine Heavens.

"I never kill ordinary people. I only kill... those who attack me."

"And you just happen to meet my criteria."

"But I am a follower of God, thus more merciful. Before you die, I give you a chance for forgiveness and repentance."

He raised his head, revealing a bearded face under the hat.

His red beard and yellow eyebrows made his face memorable.

"My name is Kaiser, the person sending you to meet Satan."

Having said that, Kaiser drew his sword from his waist and slowly raised it.

"Impressive, managing to break through my powers," True Lord of Nine Heavens narrowed his eyes and nodded.

He was enraged!

Not because he was incapable, but because this body couldn’t fully utilize the powers of telekinesis.

In the past, whenever he made a move, he never failed.

But now, not only was he stopped, but he was also mocked!

Humiliated!

Utter humiliation!

"You can suggest to me how you wish to die, but the final result is still within my control. If I want you dead, you’ll die." Kaiser pressed forward step by step.

"Fine, then let’s see who ends up dead!"

The True Lord of Nine Heavens extended his hand once more, gripping tightly!

Kaiser swiftly struck with his sword!

Clang!

The blade shattered instantly.

Kaiser’s face showed slight change.

He realized this opponent was strong, definitely not the time for careless underestimation, he needed to swiftly take him out if he could!

"Prepare to die!"

Holding the broken sword, Kaiser almost instantly flashed before the True Lord of Nine Heavens!

The broken sword struck forth, heading straight for the throat!

"Dodge!"

At that moment, the True Lord of Nine Heavens was pulled back, with a Knife Abernathy stabbing diagonally!

It clashed with the broken sword!

Clang!

Crisp sound.

Kaiser retreated two or three steps, his wrist feeling slightly numb.

In front of him was a blind man.

"A blind man?" Kaiser began observing this opponent, trying to assess his abilities as quickly as possible.

Earlier, they only exchanged a single strike. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

From that one strike, little information could be discerned.

But the force transmitted from that knife made Kaiser realize this opponent was formidable.

"Who are you? I advise you not to meddle." He said in a deep voice.

One telekinetic was already strong enough, now another blind expert appeared, Kaiser felt the pressure mounting.

How could such a rundown tavern have so many experts inside?

And it just so happened that he encountered them all.

Moreover, they were all enemies.

If his companions hadn’t died earlier, facing four against two he wouldn’t have any fear.

But now, he was alone, facing a telekinetic who could kill invisibly at any moment, and a skilled swordsman of unknown depth.

Even though Kaiser was ranked twentieth among the top experts of the Church, he now felt uncertain.

"Who I am isn’t important, what’s important is that I just attacked you. So now, you can kill me."

Julius Reed, carrying his knife, spoke with a smile.

He and the True Lord of Nine Heavens had mingled in the crowd, unexpectedly running into an expert from the Church.

According to his calculations, this happened earlier than Julius Reed’s time estimate.

The Church was showing some impatience.

Unbeknownst to him, the Church had problems long ago, the Archbishop waiting for this chance.

That’s why Father Zack was involved in the matter at Blood Sweat Mountain.

Zack went there on a mission, first to create momentum for the Church, and then for the Archbishop to logically order people away from Thousand Peaks.

The few who had just died were all experts.

The remaining one in front was a top expert.

The True Lord of Nine Heavens’ abilities were doubted by Julius Reed in the slightest, but telekinesis’s physical requirements were equally high.

The body now, made by Shadow Kims, was somewhat weak.

But at this moment, it was truly difficult to find a suitable body for the True Lord of Nine Heavens.

Therefore, Julius Reed made his move.

He aimed to take out this top expert of the Church and heat things up.

Let the water boil even more fiercely!

Originally intending to scare one off, to provide a way out, but Julius Reed’s words put Kaiser in a tough spot.

As brash as he was while speaking earlier, now faced with Julius Reed repeating his words, he felt equally embarrassed!

Faced with this bull-headed man, Kaiser was helpless too.

"Alright, if it’s like this, then let’s decide life and death!" His eyes flashed, the broken sword whirl-winding quickly towards Julius Reed!

At the same time, he shrugged off the cloak behind him!

The cloak, pitch-black, flew out.

Julius Reed raised his Knife Abernathy, slicing the cloak, but there was no one behind it!

"You’re still too young!"

Kaiser’s laughter came from behind him, followed by the sound of the broken sword piercing through air!

"I am not young." Julius Reed shook his head, suddenly vanishing from his original spot!

Crack!

The broken sword smashed onto the table, shattering it thoroughly!

Kaiser stared wide-eyed, incredulously muttering to himself: "How did he vanish into thin air!"

"I said, I am not young, the truly young one is you." Julius Reed chuckled, reappearing behind Kaiser.

"The fool is none other than myself!" Kaiser turned around, fiercely thrusting the broken sword!

Clang!

His broken sword collided with Julius Reed’s Knife Abernathy!

"I will kill you!" Kaiser, eyes reddened, seemed somewhat deranged.

He was supposed to be a top expert of the Church, yet he was being toyed with here!

Neither dignity nor honor would allow for this!

Only through the blood of his opponent could this humiliation be washed away!

"I said, I am very old, but you are indeed very young." Julius Reed smiled slightly, rattling the Knife Abernathy in his hand!

Buzz!

Ox demolishing mountains!

The original force was shifted elsewhere by Julius Reed!

Crack!

The broken sword shattered into tiny pieces!

Shards penetrated Kaiser’s body with impact!

Thud!

The Church’s top expert fell to the ground, covered in blood, convulsing uncontrollably...

"The strongest die the most miserably." Julius Reed shook his head and said: "Your companions died in their sleep, only you felt the pain before dying."

With that, he sheathed his knife, turning to look at the True Lord of Nine Heavens, "It’s up to you now."

"Damn it!" The True Lord of Nine Heavens cursed, pulling out Julius Reed’s Knife Abernathy and stabbed Kaiser in the chest a hundred and eight times!

"Hang their bodies up, just on the southeast gate!" The True Lord of Nine Heavens wiped his face, speaking angrily.
