Chapter 2530: Chapter 2530: Can’t Handle It

"Why is this happening! What kind of dark magic are you using!"

Hume Rose could no longer remain calm.

His greatest asset was the celestial technique that distinguished him from ordinary martial arts!

It was precisely this celestial technique learned from the Zodiac Lotus Shadow that allowed him to stand a head above the rest!

But now, his confidence was shattered.

The two moves from the Zodiac Lotus Shadow were completely countered!

Cleanly and decisively!

Only then did Hume Rose realize he had underestimated his opponent.

A blind man daring to provoke him in front of all the martial arts masters must surely have a trump card.

Yet Hume Rose was proud and arrogant, believing that nothing in the world could surpass his celestial technique, leading him to this dire predicament!

Hume Rose’s pupils contracted sharply, and in his eyes, a blazing sea of fire reflected.

"What kind of technique is this!"

In the stands, the top-tier Great Grandmasters couldn’t help but stand up, their hands trembling!

Countless stars of fire filled the sky!

What caliber and ability must a martial artist possess to achieve this?

Having lived for centuries, they witnessed many grand spectacles!

But such a technique of summoning Skyfire directly with a sword deeply shocked everyone.

Martial arts, enlightenment!

What is the Way?

Heaven and Earth are the Way, all beings are the Way.

The Way knows no hierarchy, the Way is without rules.

In everyone’s heart, lies the Way!

The Way encompasses all things!

Martial artists perceive Heaven and Earth, cultivate themselves, and that is the Way!

Techniques are merely the expression of the Way.

Yet techniques indicate the cultivation of a martial artist.

Some have a worldview as narrow as a well, others as vast as the sky.

With a mere hand gesture, Julius Reed conjured flying fire meteors, a worldview so grand, unparalleled in the world!

It is the breadth of mind and worldview that truly shocks the martial artists of the world!

"He’s definitely not an unknown figure!"

Someone shouted excitedly, "He’s either a peerless master hidden for thousands of years, or... or Julius Reed!"

"Isn’t Julius Reed dead?"

"I heard Julius Reed was killed by Dragon Dance! And Demarco Mount has been eerily quiet lately! If Julius Reed were still alive, would he allow the world to be in such chaos and do nothing? He is after all the Grandmaster of the realm!"

"But, has anyone genuinely regarded him as the Grandmaster of the realm? When in trouble, they think of finding Demarco Mount, but once they’ve eaten their fill, they stay home cursing! If I were Julius Reed, I’d have taken you all out long ago!"

Suddenly.

The stands fell into silence.

Everyone suddenly realized they might truly be as people say.

Only when trouble arises do they remember the Holy Master.

In peaceful times, they ponder how to overthrow Julius Reed and take the Holy Master’s place themselves.

"But is there anyone stronger than Julius Reed in this world?"

"Yes! There definitely is! I’ve seen Julius Reed; although he’s formidable, he’s nowhere near as impressive as this young man on stage!"

"Julius Reed is the King among men, but the worldview of this blind man is that of a Divine King!"

Only the top martial artists understand what they witness.

The lesser martial artists only feel shock!

From the visual impact to the surrounding spiritual power’s surge!

All left them utterly stunned!

They want to know who this blind man really is!

But not a single person knows the answer.

Stars of fire filled the sky, covering the entire ring.

Hume Rose stood in the center of the ring, feeling an unprecedented despair.

The opponent’s moves were deadly from the start, with no reservations or probing, seeming truly intent on taking his life!

"South Sea Sage Nun..." Hume Rose muttered this name softly, "I never thought you’d have someone like this avenging you!"

The Double Dragon Jade Pendant was yet to be found, and suddenly he felt slightly pleased.

Could it be that the Double Dragon Jade Pendant is with this blind man before him?

Otherwise, how could a blind man be so formidable?

Capable of breaking his celestial technique?

If he kills the blind man and obtains the Double Dragon Jade Pendant, Hume Rose would walk the world unmatched!

With this thought, an unprecedented force erupted within Hume Rose!

Inferno burning!

The ring became a boundless sea of fire.

Julius Reed held yin and yang, unmoving.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed!

The ring seemed to be swept by a typhoon!

All flames extinguished.

Hume Rose stood naked on the ring.

His skin suffered multiple burns, even his face was unrecognizable.

"Hehe..." Hume Rose chuckled hoarsely and slowly took a step forward.

This smile sent chills down everyone’s spine.

The martial artists watching felt a wave of unease.

"Hume Rose is about to unleash power, the outcome is uncertain."

"It’s already a battle of life and death, with no reconciliation."

Just as the crowd grew agitated.

Hume Rose spoke again: "Hume Family Guard, kill him."

"What?"

The martial artists doubted their own ears.

Guard?

Isn’t this cheating?

In the duel between such experts, it should solely depend on individual skill!

Now calling upon the Hume Family Guard, what does this mean?

Using numbers to overpower one?

Completely disregarding the rules!

"It’s disgraceful!"

"Lacks character, unreliable."

The front row whispered among themselves, expressing disappointment and anger but also regret.

Undoubtedly, this blind man’s abilities are sufficient to rank in the top three of the world!

Just this one move, flying fire meteors, is enough to be remembered in the martial arts world for thousands of years!

While Hume Rose’s fame is indeed widespread, he does have some skills, but clearly, he is outmatched on this stage.

A martial artist, especially one aiming for the position of Alliance Hierarch, must possess martial virtues!

Even if everyone is displeased with Julius Reed, even wishing to overthrow him, no one has ever criticized his character or martial virtues.

Their dissatisfaction stems merely from the desire for the crown to change hands, believing this year is their turn.

But if someone as insidious as Hume Rose occupies the dominant position, the world would see no good days.

The role of the Grandmaster must be clear-cut and righteous, without such deceit.

Yet everyone knew in their hearts, Hume Rose couldn’t afford to continue.

From this point on, their security is uncertain.

Without explicitly supporting Hume Rose, they were likely to be killed.

Today’s attendees are all leading figures of various sects.

They previously believed Hume Rose, for the sake of face, wouldn’t do anything excessive.

The appearance of the blind man made Hume Rose disregard all decorum.

Their only hope now is that this blind man defeats Hume Rose, as only then will these masters’ freedom be ensured.

But the issue is, this is the Hume family’s turf of thousands of years.

This is the unified southeastern domain.

For Hume Rose and his allies to kill a lone opponent is too easy.

The blind man, he won’t survive.

In an instant.

Dozens of men in black appeared.

They remained expressionless, surrounding Julius Reed.

Even though the martial artists in the stands were furious, they had no recourse.

They could only watch.

"Kid, your life is in my hands!" Hume Rose, unrecognizable, touched the blood on his face, along with his widespread wounds, and sneered, "Get him ripped apart!"

Dozens of Hume family guards, the combat machines from the basement, swiftly moved in!
