Kaden Yu suddenly stood up from his seat, crushing the wine cup in his hand.
“Damn it!”
He stared intently at the city wall. Yu Fei was one of his fierce generals, possessing the strength of Innate Great Perfection.
Yet, he was blown apart by a single punch from that seemingly mid-Innate Great Wei commander.
Is this even possible?
It doesn’t make sense.
Shouldn’t Yu Fei, with his Innate Great Perfection strength, have easily killed that Great Wei commander with one strike?
“What’s wrong, Uncle?” Kaden Yu asked, seeing his uncle suddenly enraged.
“Yu Fei is dead!”
Kaden’s gaze locked onto Oliver Sheng. But no matter how he looked, Oliver’s aura was at most late-Innate.
To kill an Innate Great Perfection with a single punch while only being at the late-Innate stage—could it be that this Great Wei garrison commander is a martial arts prodigy?
“What? Cousin Yu Fei is dead?!” Kaden couldn’t believe it and looked towards River West County.
There was no sign of his cousin Yu Fei.
“This… the general is as powerful as ever, killing an Innate Great Perfection expert with one punch,” Cameron Guo and the others said in shock.
As Oliver’s subordinates, they naturally knew of his strength, always fighting above his level, yet they were still stunned.
They never doubted Oliver’s power; he had often killed enemies above his level before.
However, Xiao Chuyi looked at Oliver with confusion. A mid-Innate martial artist killing an Innate Great Perfection with one punch—this wasn’t just prodigious, it was beyond monstrous.
Zane Wang had a nagging feeling that their general’s strength was far from simple.
After all, during the Qingyuan Mountain demon hunt, Oliver had brought back the corpse of a demon king, a being comparable to a human Grandmaster.
Oliver Sheng had killed Yu Fei, an Innate Great Perfection martial artist, earning a hundred Kill Points.
His gaze fell on Kaden Yu among the Barbarian army.
Their eyes met.
“This kid is problematic. Looks like I need to take action myself,” Kaden Yu decided not to let his subordinates continue to die in vain.
He planned to personally kill Oliver and take River West County.
Kaden took a step into the sky, his Grandmaster aura overwhelming the heavens and earth. Countless people looked up at the figure.
Just his aura alone made countless people feel a terrifying pressure.
“Grandmaster!”
On the city wall, Xiao Chuyi, Cameron Guo, and others turned pale.
A Grandmaster in action—how could they possibly resist?
“Damn it, these Barbarian wolves have a Grandmaster,” Magistrate Chen said, his face ashen.
“What do we do?”
“Deploying a Grandmaster for just River West County, what a grand gesture.”
“Looks like we have to fight to the death today,” Wesley Hu said gravely.
Cameron Guo and the others felt a tinge of despair. Even if they sent someone to Peace Pass for reinforcements now, it would be too late.
They knew Oliver was strong, but they didn’t believe he could withstand a Grandmaster with just an Innate Realm.
The gap between the Innate Realm and Grandmaster was a vast chasm.
Many martial cultivators could reach the Innate Realm but were stuck there for life.
The difference between Innate and Grandmaster was like heaven and earth.
Kaden Yu stepped into the void, his gaze fixed on Oliver.
Oliver looked at him. Since the opponent planned to take action personally, he had no choice but to respond.
Drawing his Black Gold Battle Saber from his waist, he leaped into the air to face Kaden.
“Is he crazy? Facing a Grandmaster like that,” Xiao Chuyi’s pale face lost even more color.
“There’s something strange about you!” Kaden said, frowning as he looked at Oliver.
He felt that Oliver’s aura was not quite right.
Oliver’s heart tightened. The spiritual perception of a Grandmaster was indeed much stronger than others.
“What’s strange? If you want to fight, then fight!” Oliver said, holding his Black Gold Battle Saber.
He was considering whether to go all out and kill his opponent without hiding his strength or to reveal only part of his power and barely hold on.
If he went all out and killed this Barbarian Grandmaster, it might scare the Barbarian army outside the city away.
After thinking for a while, Oliver decided not to reveal his full strength yet.
“I’ll take you down and see what’s strange about you,” Kaden said, raising his hand to strike at Oliver.
The terrifying palm strike seemed to carry the weight of the world, with True Essence rolling, as if the entire sky was pressing down.
Oliver swung his saber, and a blood-red saber light, three meters long, slashed towards the giant palm.
“Boom!”
The saber light collided with the giant palm, causing True Qi to surge and tear through the void, producing a thunderous roar.
Seeing his palm strike blocked by Oliver’s saber, Kaden’s eyes narrowed, filled with a sense of superiority.
“You have some skill. No wonder you could kill Yu Fei above your level.”
“But an ant is still an ant. How can an ant defy the heavens?”
Kaden’s palm turned into a fist, punching towards Oliver.
The punch carried a surge of blood energy, like a blazing sun, aiming to crush Oliver.
Oliver’s blood energy soared like wolf smoke, reaching the sky. His Black Gold Battle Saber radiated a scorching blood aura, its saber energy cutting through mountains and seas, aiming to pierce the heavens.
With one slash, a saber energy ten meters long, carrying the power of scorching blood energy, destroyed everything in its path.
“Boom!”
In the sky, the supreme fist mark was shattered by the saber, shaking the heavens. The terrifying blood energy and True Qi swept through the air like a tidal wave, making the spectators on the ground tremble with fear.
But more people were utterly shocked by Oliver’s strength.
To defy a Grandmaster with an Innate Realm?
What an awe-inspiring feat.
After blocking two strikes, Kaden was stunned. He was a mid-stage Grandmaster, having refined the Innate Fire Essence and Innate Earth Essence, far stronger than a newly advanced Grandmaster.
Yet this Great Wei commander, with mid-Innate strength, had blocked his two strikes. How bizarre.
Innate martial artists capable of contending with Grandmasters existed, but they were all at the Innate Great Perfection stage, contending with early-stage Grandmasters.
And those individuals were all top-tier martial prodigies.
“Let’s see how many moves you can block,” Kaden said, not holding back, continuing his assault on Oliver. His punches and palms roared, shaking the heavens.
Oliver continued to control his strength, responding to Kaden’s attacks.
After dozens to hundreds of moves, Kaden’s expression changed. He couldn’t believe that an Innate martial artist could have such strength, fighting him to a standstill for hundreds of moves. Even some Grandmasters couldn’t do that.
“You’re not an Innate martial artist!” Kaden said, looking at Oliver with a serious expression.
“I’m not an Innate martial artist; I’m your grandpa!” Oliver retorted.
No matter what others said, he wouldn’t admit it. He presented himself as a mid-Innate martial artist.
He was a prodigy; fighting a level above wasn’t impossible!
Watching Oliver and the Barbarian Grandmaster fight to a standstill for hundreds of moves, Xiao Chuyi and the others were dumbfounded.
Could an Innate martial artist really do this?
Could this guy be a Grandmaster? The thought crossed Xiao Chuyi’s mind, startling her.
How could it be? How could there be such a young Grandmaster in this world?
“Gulp!”
Cameron Guo swallowed hard and said, “Is the general really just an Innate martial artist?”
