Chapter 2492: Chapter 2492: The Mysterious Figure

"I..."

Recalling the events just now, Nelson’s frantic gaze suddenly calmed down.

Having died time and again, experiencing illusions repeatedly, she couldn’t determine whether what she saw now was real or fake.

Noticing Nelson’s change in expression, Julius Reed asked with concern, "What happened? What exactly happened just now?"

"Nothing." Nelson jumped out of his embrace and forced a smile.

But in the next moment, she suddenly drew the sword from Julius Reed’s waist and thrust it fiercely forward!

Countless deaths, countless sword swings, countless duels.

The tactics of the gray-robed man were etched in her mind!

"Nelson!"

Julius Reed, seasoned in battle, reacted swiftly.

When he saw Nelson draw the sword, he leaned back!

Slide!

The sword brushed past his throat!

"What are you doing!"

As soon as Julius Reed spoke, Nelson’s sword came at him again!

The blade moved at a bizarre and tricky angle, stabbing toward Julius Reed’s fatal point!

Even the Wayland of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance found it overwhelming to face these two consecutive unexpected attacks!

He flashed his body, extending his right hand to strike Nelson’s wrist, trying to knock the sword away. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The person before him was indeed Nelson, but something was clearly wrong.

Julius Reed aimed to control her without harming her!

Nelson was formidable, but compared to Julius Reed, the gap was significant.

Their duel was without suspense.

But to his surprise, the sword seemed to follow him closely, even anticipating Julius Reed’s move and slashing at his wrist first!

"Who are you, really?" Julius Reed withdrew his right hand and stepped back, asking sharply.

This couldn’t be Nelson!

The attack was ruthless and seasoned, with each sword aimed to kill, lacking any trace of Nelson!

With the presence of the Nine Nether True Monarch, Julius Reed believed someone had possessed Nelson and taken over this body.

But Nelson had only been in the room for a few minutes.

Logically, it shouldn’t have happened so rapidly?

Moreover, he had been guarding the door, ensuring no outsiders approached from beginning to end.

Nelson, wielding the sharp blade, seemed a bit surprised too.

As a Martial Artist, she understood the awareness between herself and Julius Reed.

Previously, the sealed Julius Reed could still be taken advantage of by her.

But the recent Julius Reed grew stronger at an absurd rate.

Even so, moments ago, she failed to gain an advantage.

Nelson’s heart was beating faster!

She didn’t speak but followed the swordsmanship she had learned, striking at Julius Reed once more!

"No matter who you are, you’d better leave her body obediently! Otherwise, I’ll disperse your telekinesis and make you disappear forever!" Julius Reed said coldly, "This is your last warning!"

Slide!

The warmth in Nelson’s heart drove her to thrust vehemently!

In one swift onslaught, over a dozen sword strikes were unleashed in five seconds!

After five seconds, Nelson’s learned swordsmanship had reached its limit. With her own insights, she forced two more strikes before Julius Reed seized the sword, pressing her firmly onto the bed!

"Speak, who are you!"

Julius Reed threw the sword to the ground, his hands grasping Nelson’s neck.

Their eyes were slightly red.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to harm his woman!

"Julius." Nelson smiled, embracing Julius Reed and gently kissing him.

In an instant, Julius Reed’s mind went blank.

A short separation makes the heart grow fonder.

Dry firewood meets a raging flame.

The Nine Nether True Monarch, listening in the living room, felt increasingly uneasy.

How did the fight end up on the bed?

Moreover, the sounds, it seemed...

"Damn it! This is a public execution for me!"

Crunch!

The Nine Nether True Monarch bit into an apple, angered, and went to the bathroom alone.

"Heh heh." He chuckled coldly, facing nothing he couldn’t resolve.

Half a minute later, the Nine Nether True Monarch emerged and sat on the sofa, turning on the TV.

He cared not for the sounds around him.

The so-called sage mode was roughly like this.

Turning a deaf ear to external voices.

The TV program was dull, filled with boring gossip from the martial arts world.

Unknown how much time passed.

Julius Reed embraced Nelson, covered in sweat, as the room was filled with the scent of hormones.

"What happened to you earlier, you scared me." He felt drained.

"I dreamt a dream where I was killed countless times. Each time, the opponent used the same techniques."

"I countered the moves, constantly learning, and finally exhausted my strength, awakening from the dream. The swordsmanship I used on you earlier was what I learned."

Nelson brushed her hair and looked at Julius Reed with a strange expression: "I didn’t expect it to be so powerful, to force you back."

"Is that so?" Julius Reed was surprised to hear this. "Did you know that in martial arts, progress is built over time? Even if you train for another five hundred years, you might not last five seconds against me. But just now, that swordsmanship caught me off guard."

"Heh, haven’t there been times when you couldn’t last ten seconds with me?" Nelson sneered, her eyes filled with mockery.

Unconcealed mockery.

"Cough, cough, don’t be like that." Julius Reed scratched his head, quickly changing the topic, "By the way, how did you enter the dream realm? This swordsmanship is indeed formidable."

"Being able to boost your strength so rapidly in just a few minutes, I’m worried..."

Julius Reed used the Eye of God to examine Nelson.

No signs found.

Neither her spiritual power nor physique had changed.

It seemed to be purely a technical skill advancement.

But such an advancement was terrifying.

Julius Reed had never encountered anything like it in all his years.

"Are you worried about backlash, or perhaps... some adverse consequence?" Nelson nestled in Julius Reed’s embrace: "At least now, I can avenge my master personally."

"Don’t rush, from now on I’ll be with you constantly. If you sleep again, remember to tell me. With me here, nothing can happen."

Julius Reed held Nelson tightly, feeling a bit fatigued.

Unknowingly, his sweat dampened the Double Dragon Jade Pendant on the bed.

"Strange, why am I so sleepy." He yawned, attributing it to fatigue, and gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly!

Julius Reed jolted awake!

Darkness!

Surrounded by darkness!

Nothing could be seen!

Not seeing was normal.

Because Julius Reed was blind.

His eyes were shrouded.

The Eye of God slowly unfurled, able to see himself on a mountain.

At the mountain’s peak was a silhouette.

"An illusion!" Julius Reed tried to escape the hallucination, but couldn’t.

"Since it’s like this, I’ll kill that person and surely find a way out!"

He drew his sword, rushing forward!

Charging toward the silhouette to strike!
