He had just walked out of the hotel. Madame Wade saw Lambert and Linley, who was riding a black panther, as well as Leo and Firis, who were riding a purple panther.
"Oh, Lambert, long time no see.”Madame Wade immediately shouted.
Linley, Leo, Firis, Jenne, Keane, and Lambert all turned to look. Lambert was startled, then said respectfully,"Greetings, First Madam."
"These two children should be Jenne and Keane," Madame Wade said with a friendly smile. Jenne was even more beautiful than before, and she looked even more like her mother now. Keane was no longer that little child, and he was even more handsome now.”
Jenne and Keane recognized Madame Wade.
Although nearly eight years had passed, Madame Wade's appearance hadn't changed much. It was just that there were a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
"Greetings, Auntie." Jenne and Keane both bowed.
"Alright, alright. There's no need to be so restrained." Madame Wade chuckled, then looked at Firis."This must be Firis, the female warrior riding the purple leopard. I've heard of it long ago!"
"Haha!" Phyllis smiled but didn't say anything.
Madame Wade didn't show any dissatisfaction. She looked at Linley and Leo."Who are these people?"
"That's big brother Linley and his little brother, Lord Leo!”Keane answered first.
With Leo, a Grand Magus Saint, by his side, Linley didn't have to worry about his identity being revealed. Thus, Keane and the others knew who he was.
"Linley, Leo?" Madame Wade's eyelids twitched. Laughing, she said,"Oh, it's Mr. Linley and Mr. Leo. The two of you must have escorted them all the way to Cerre City. I will definitely thank you, Mr. Ley, on behalf of Jenne and her sister. Let's go back to the castle. Tonight, I will hold a grand banquet for my two poor children.”
"There's no need for a banquet. I'm not used to it!”At this moment, Leo said lightly," I'm here to see my big brother, whom I haven't seen for a long time. I won't get involved in the rest.”
"Big brother, I live in a valley in the mountain range to the east of Cerre. Firis and Avis will stay here. If you want to come over, let them lead the way!”Leo then turned and said to Linley,"The environment here is too noisy. It's not good for my training. I'm leaving!"”
"Good! I will definitely come." Linley nodded as well.
"Then, I'll be leaving! Goodbye, everyone!" Leo waved his hand, then turned into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.
Madame Wade's two brothers immediately cried out in alarm."This…this is a Saint?"
Madame Wade's pupils constricted at this sight, and she couldn't help but tremble."Sanctuary Contender, this Leo is actually a Sanctuary Contender…"
She clearly understood that if a Saint-level combatant wanted to kill her, she would be completely powerless to resist. Even her greatest backer, the Jacques Clan, would not offend a Saint-level combatant for her sake.
"Lord Leo is a Grand Magus Saint!" Keane replied proudly.
'Grand Magus Saints…' Madame Wade's heart was filled with bitterness.'What kind of dogshit luck did this pair of siblings have to actually be able to get to know a Grand Magus Saint? That old Holmer must have fallen into his hands. Luckily, he didn't want to continue investigating this matter. Otherwise, I would be finished!”
Without Leo's interference, things went exactly as the original novel had said. That night, Linley slaughtered Madame Wade and her two brothers, then set fire to Holmer's house.
The next day, Linley had Firis lead the way, and then he and the Godeater Rat Bebe headed towards the valley where Leo was training.
"Leo, you're amazing. You found such a quiet valley again!”As soon as Linley entered, he began to inspect the valley.
"Has the matter been resolved?" Leo asked." That little girl named Jenne seems to miss you a lot. Are you going to make her so sad?”
"How could I not know what Jenne is thinking? But in my heart, I've always treated her as my biological sister.”Linley laughed bitterly, then glanced suspiciously at Leo and Phyllis."What's going on between the two of you? It seems like your relationship isn't ordinary!"”
" Uh..." Leo was stunned.
Then, he looked at Firis and realized that she was also looking at him. When their eyes met, Firis blushed and quickly avoided his gaze.
"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Leo immediately changed the topic." I haven't seen you for so many years. I still don't know how strong you are. Do you want to try?"”
"Alright!" Hearing Leo's words, Linley's fighting spirit immediately rose. Staring at Leo, he said,"Bebe, go to the side first."”
"Squeak squeak." Bebe immediately jumped off Linley's shoulders and ran to the side, waving at Linley continuously, as if cheering him on.
"Don't tell me you think you can beat me!”Leo, seeing Linley's desire to fight, laughed and said,"Firis, go and try!"”
"Leo, although I'm no match for you, fighting Firis with me…" Linley didn't continue. Clearly, in his eyes, Firis, a warrior of the ninth rank, wasn't a match for him.
"I say, big brother! Although it seems like you've reached the Sanctuary-realm, don't underestimate Firis because of this.”Leo smiled." I've trained Phyllis for six years. I dare say that a normal Sanctuary-realm expert can't withstand a single strike from her!”
"What?!" Hearing Leo's words, Linley was instantly shocked.”
"No, you misunderstood!" Leo smiled." Although Phyllis's attack and defense are beyond the average Sanctuary Warrior, her combat energy is not as good as a real Sanctuary powerhouse. Most importantly, she can't fly. Therefore, if she really fought with a Saint, she would most likely be exhausted to death by the Saint.”
"At the ninth rank, his offense and defense are already superior to that of an ordinary Saint-level.”Right now, Linley couldn't help but feel admiration for Firis. Then he looked at Firis."Then let's see how powerful an expert whose offense and defense surpass that of a Saint-level expert is!"”
"I also want to test Leo's big brother's strength!”Firis also stood up and drew her Blood Moon Sword.
Firis and Linley stood on the grassy plains, facing off against each other.
"Phyllis, since Leo admires your strength so much, I won't show mercy!”As he spoke, Linley immediately transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior. Soon, Linley's entire body was covered with black scales, and a black spike grew out of his forehead. A series of spikes appeared on his back, and his draconic tail silently pierced through his trousers. His pupils turned cold and emotionless.
"What a strange transformation. It's different from Leo, Wharton, and Hogg!”Firis watched with interest as Linley transformed.
"Clang ~"
The adamantine heavy sword was unsheathed.
Linley slashed down with all his might towards Firis.
Firis calmly watched Linley's sword attack. She could sense that the space around her had turned into a swamp, constantly squeezing against her. She smiled slightly.
"Not bad. You've already mastered Shi perfectly. Many Saints have failed to surpass you, but unfortunately, my opponent this time is me.”Phyllis said calmly.
Soon, the heavy sword cut through space and struck toward Phyllis.
Firis gently moved her body to the side to avoid the sword. Then, she gently brushed her left hand against the heavy sword. His right hand pressed against Linley's chest.
Linley watched as Firis dodged the sword attack that he was so determined to succeed in, then gently waved his heavy sword. Instantly, a powerful force spread out from the sword, and the adamantine heavy sword in his hand seemed to be pressed down by an immense amount of divine power, making it difficult for him to lift it.
At the same time, Firis struck out with her palm, sending Linley flying several dozen meters…
"This…" Linley stared at the adamantine heavy sword stabbed into Firis 'leg, then looked back at himself. For a moment, he found it hard to accept that he had been so easily defeated by a girl who was only two years older than him.
"How is it?" Leo laughed as he walked over to Linley's side.”
"Phew." Linley let out a heavy breath."Truly formidable. I lost. The difference in power was simply too great!”
"Haha!" Leo continued," Although you've comprehended Shi, Phyllis's comprehension is a level higher than yours. It has already risen to the level of the profound mysteries of the Laws. Of course you can't win.”
"Laws! "That's a supreme level…" Linley sighed.
"Don't be discouraged. I can see that the power of your sword is already very good. As long as he took a small step forward, he would be able to touch the realm of laws!”Leo smiled." You can stay here and meditate. There are eight Saint-level magical beasts guarding nearby. There's no place safer than this.”
…………………………
At night, Linley sat in the lotus position on a grassy field by the lake, his eyes closed as he quietly meditated on nature. Next to him was a bonfire, reflecting the flickering light on Linley's face.
Linley could sense the heaviness of the earth, the movement of the wind, and the flow of water. Feeling the intensity of the fire…
"The explosive power of the lightning-like thunder is like a volcanic eruption. And the so-called power. It's the power of heaven, earth, fire, water, and wind, but…"
After meditating for a long time, Linley suddenly understood.
"Force, that's just force. It borrows the power of the surrounding world. And the all-encompassing beyond Shi. I should be pursuing the most suitable path.”
In the darkness of the night, Linley, seated in the lotus position by the shore, opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
"Different weapons. The path they took was different. The heavy sword was powerful and heavy! As for the Edgeless Heavy Sword, it naturally did not rely on its sharpness to win. Instead, he relied on that fair and unquestionable attack.”
Linley's mind vaguely understood.
The adamantine heavy sword's path of cultivation had some similarities with the Laws of the Earth.
"The earth is heavy, the earth is boundless, the earth is stable…" Linley held the adamantine heavy sword in his hand, his heart completely attuned to the pulse of the earth.
The earth had its own unique pulse, a pulse that could shake one's soul. Usually, one would only be able to sense it when one's comprehension of the earth reached an extremely high level.
Linley stood up. He began to quietly brandish his adamantine heavy sword. As Linley brandished his adamantine heavy sword, Linley's entire body, both in terms of movement and swordplay, entered a unique rhythm, a rhythm that caused one's heart to palpitate.
"Phew."
The adamantine heavy sword seemed to carry a weight of a million jin as it heavily pierced through the air. Linley brandished his adamantine heavy sword, giving off the feeling that he had become one with the earth. In fact, just by watching him practice the sword, one could sense a heavy feeling.
"Puff ~"
Linley's adamantine heavy sword suddenly stabbed through the air, and several consecutive explosions rang out. Just by stabbing straight into space, it actually produced several air explosions. This was simply inconceivable. No matter how fast a weapon was, it was already good enough to cause an explosion. It was almost impossible to cause a few air explosions.
"Hmm?" Linley's eyes instantly lit up.
But with this distraction, Linley immediately broke away from that wonderful feeling.
"What happened just now? I didn't use my battle energy, but how could this power be split into several rhythmically amplified attacks?”
Linley began to ponder.
"Truly formidable…" Leo stared at Linley's sword."In just a few short days, you've touched upon the Laws.”
