Ch. 3821..3830
Chapter 3821 Honoring Levi
Despite the glances Cheriette gave them, the elders paid her no heed. To them, Levi was simply a reprobate who had come from the mundane world, and they took delight in mocking him.
“There’s been an enslaved fighting contest going on lately, hasn’t there? Get this guy to join it.” “My thoughts exactly. I heard the winner gets a top-class spiritual energy crystal.”
“Empyrean Cheriette’s the one who bought this slave. We have to ask what she thinks about this.”
The elders turned to Cheriette, only to realize that the usually calm woman had turned pale and was even trembling slightly. “Are you all right, Empyrean Cheriette?”
The elders were puzzled. Why does she look like she’s afraid?
“If you don’t shut your mouths, I’ll help you with that.” Levi’s voice rang out before Cheriette could respond. Despite his nonchalant tone, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Yet, the elders were furious. Given how revered they were in Astre Lune Sect, to be threatened by someone they deemed a reprobate from the mundane world was simply unacceptable.
“Do you have any idea what you just said, you reprobate?”
Tomas was known for his fiery temper. If it weren’t out of consideration for their leader, he would have taught Levi a harsh lesson by now.
“Shut it.” Levi vanished before his words even fell. The third elder stilled briefly before feeling a harrowing aura coming from behind him all of a sudden.
“Tomas! Look out!” the first elder cried out in warning. However, it was too late. Levi moved so swiftly and struck Tomas in the back of the head before the latter could even try to sidestep him.
Splat! Accompanied by a loud noise, Tomas’ head split open, and the man collapsed to the ground without even getting the chance to howl in pain.
The remaining elders stared at Levi in utter fear as they quickly swallowed all the insults they were about to hurl at him.
Tomas wasn’t the strongest of them all, but with his capabilities, it would have been impossible for them to take him out in one blow.
This man is just terrifying!
“If you’re going to avenge him, come at me together so you don’t waste my time,” Levi remarked casually as though he hadn’t just murdered their comrade with a mere palm strike.
The rest of Astre Lune Sect’s elders gulped hard while quivering in fright.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Garrison. Some of these elders clearly don’t know their place, so please don’t take their words to heart,” Cheriette stated hurriedly in an attempt to prevent the situation from worsening.
The elders turned to her in shock, for they had never seen Cheriette treat someone else with so much respect.
Who on earth is this guy?
Levi waved a hand in response. “I wouldn’t have thought about killing them if they had just kept their mouths shut.”
“Then am I allowed to tell a few elders about what happened just now?” the woman asked tentatively.
She was still genuinely worried about some of the elders secretly plotting revenge against Levi. If that happened, who knew what would become of Astre Lune Sect?
Still, given that what had happened was a secret, Cheriette dared not tell others about it before receiving Levi’s consent.
“Anything goes as long as it doesn’t stall the journey,” the man answered solemnly.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Cheriette proceeded to explain what had happened when they had tried to get their hands on the dragon ley line.
The elders turned cold in fright as they listened to how Levi had single-handedly taken down over a dozen fighters from Eclipse Academy.
Just before this, they had indeed planned to avenge Tomas.
The crowd finally gazed at Levi in awe and veneration.
“Your abilities are beyond description, Mr. Garrison! There’s no one in Kenfort who can do what you do!”
“That’s right! Thank you for saving Empyrean Cheriette!”
The elders were immediately humbled and began to honor Levi.
Chapter 3822 All At Once
The journey was silent, and the crowd finally arrived back at the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect after a few days of hurrying. It was located within the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, its building large and magnificent.
Levi instantly unleashed his energy to run a check on Eclipse Sect. He felt many powerful auras within the group, thus getting a rough idea of its combined abilities.
“There’s no need to lurk around in the dark anymore,” he commented, unable to contain his laughter. These so-called fighters from Astre Lune Sect posed no threat to him at all.
Cheriette brought Levi to meet the sect’s council members as well as its leader right away. She naturally wanted to win his approval since such a formidable fighter like him was sure to bring their group’s power to the next level.
The leader of Astre Lune Sect, Quirina Morell, wanted to meet him personally after learning about how he had saved Cheriette and obtained the dragon ley line.
She was seated in the middle of the guest hall. She looked like she was in her thirties despite actually being past fifty years old.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the woman changed the subject. “Is there something you have in mind, Mr. Garrison?”
“I do, actually. I’m just not sure if you’d agree to it,” Levi answered with a chuckle.
Quirina froze momentarily. “What could you mean by that?” she asked, looking perplexed.
“It’s quite simple, in fact.” The man rose to his feet slowly and smiled. “Let me be the leader of Astre Lune Sect from now on.”
The entire hall went into an uproar after a brief moment of silence.
“What a joke! Does he really think he’s invincible just after killing a few guys from Eclipse Academy? Now, he’s trying to seize our group?”
“You’ve gone too far, Levi Garrison! We may not be a top sect, but you still have a long way to go before trying to rule us!”
“Those mere words coming out of your mouth would’ve caused you your death if you hadn’t saved Empyrean Cheriette!”
Many of the sect’s council members began to rebuke Levi, some even getting up and preparing to attack him.
Quirina narrowed her eyes.
“You’re not joking, are you, Mr. Garrison?” she asked, her voice sounding chilly and void of the amiability it once had.
A dangerous aura slowly emanated from the woman’s body alongside her change in attitude.
Cheriette was horrified. She didn’t expect Levi to make such an outrageous request.
Although the two hadn’t spent much time interacting with each other, she could tell he was the type who kept to his word.
Now that Levi was planning to take over the sect, there was no avoiding a war.
“How about we make a bet, then?” the man offered, disregarding the energy being released by the council members around him. “If you can defeat me, I’ll serve you from then on. But if you can’t, you’ll have to make me the new leader. Of course, if you choose neither option, I’m going to wipe out the entire sect.”
The audience could no longer contain their rage.
This is preposterous! He doesn’t give a d*mn about us at all!
Quirina silenced the crowd with a wave of a hand.
“Do you mean what you say, Mr. Garrison?”
She felt that if he were serious, it was worth the gamble.
It didn’t matter what methods they used or how many people they employed; if they could defeat Levi, that would mean gaining an extremely valuable comrade.
As the saying goes, an army of a thousand is easily obtained, but a good general is hard to find. Such was no exception even in Kenfort.
“Of course I do,” Levi replied sternly. “It looks like you’ve made your decision, Lord Morell.”
“Very well. It’s a deal.” To be on the safe side, Quirina added, “You won’t say we’re being unfair if we all attack you at the same time, will you?”
“Not at all. Come at me all at once,” Levi said with a smirk.
Chapter 3823 I Have Lost
“Insolence!” the vice sect leader, Alistair, shrieked as he stabbed Levi’s heart with his sword.
Whoosh! Even the sound of the sword slicing through the air could be heard. Yet, Levi remained unmoving as if he did not sense the approaching danger. “He’s not avoiding it?”
“He must not have reacted to it yet. Sir Alistair is known for his speed.” “His sword is capable of destroying a part of the world. If he takes the blow with his body, he’ll either die or be gravely injured.”
Most of the crowd could imagine the incoming bloody scene. In contrast, Cheriette and some others who had seen Levi fight for the dragon ley line were not as optimistic as the crowd. They had witnessed how insanely powerful Levi was. “You’re courting death!”
Alistair was livid, seeing that Levi did not make any move to evade his blow. Finding the lack of movement a provocation to his terrifying reputation, he exerted more strength in his attack.
His sword changed into the shape of a drill bit and spun rapidly, looking as if it was going to pierce through everything in its way.
Clink! An ear-piercing sound of metal against metal could be heard. The crowd fixed their eyes at the scene, only to see that Alistair’s sword was stopped by some kind of invisible energy right before it could pierce Levi’s skin. “How is this possible?”
Alistair was equally stunned. Although his sword was no ultimate weapon, it was still one of the top weapons, especially when it had been kept in a dragon ley line for years.
Furthermore, he had channeled his technique, so the sword should have sliced through any kind of barrier like a hot knife through butter.
Yet, the man in front of him had taken the blow with his mere body without getting hurt at all.
“Nice move. But it’s a little weak. Did you perhaps learn this from your master’s wife?” Levi jeered.
Alistair’s face turned red. He flew into a rage out of humiliation.
“You’re asking for it! Don’t blame me for retaliating!”
With that, Alistair retreated and performed his sword technique again. The people around could sense that the energy of the sword was now tens of times stronger than before.
“It’s Meteor Burst, Sir Alistair’s ultimate move!”
“Levi has it coming for humiliating Sir Alistair in front of others. It’ll be a miracle if Sir Alistair isn’t mad!”
“Levi’s screwed. His ashes will probably be gone by the end of this.”
The members of Astre Lune Sect were discussing among themselves.
When Levi heard that, the smile on his face grew wider. It was as if he was completely unfazed by Alistair’s ultimate move.
He even critiqued, “The energy of the sword is stronger now, but it’s still too weak.”
“Let’s see who’ll have the last laugh!”
Alistair began attacking again.
This time, he seemed to have become one with the sword as he and the sword turn into a hurricane, pulling everything toward him and destroying them all.
“Excellent!”
Levi stuck out his right arm and uncurled his fingers before smacking his palm at the sword.
Following the muffled sound of the collision, the terrifying hurricane stopped.
Both the figures of Alistair and the sword were getting clearer and clearer, but the energy coming out of Levi’s palm remained intense as if countering the hurricane was nothing to him.
“Back!” Levi cried out.
The chaotic ball of energy shot outward and sent Alistair flying.
As if Levi had calculated the trajectory, the energy he released threw Alistair right into his seat.
“I’ve lost, and I’m impressed.” Alistair kept his sword and nodded at Levi. “Thank you for sparing my life, Mr. Garrison.”
Alistair could sense that Levi was far more powerful than him earlier. If Levi had unleashed a little more energy, he would most likely have ended up dead.
Most importantly, Levi seemed to have no trouble unleashing and keeping away that energy.
First, he had blocked his sword. Then, he had thrown Alistair right into his seat.
No one in Astre Lune Sect could do such a thing.
Chapter 3824 Another Punch
The crowd gasped when Alistair admitted defeat. Many did not know what had just happened; they did not even see how Levi had attacked.
“Sir Alistair was defeated even when he used his ultimate move!” “Garrison’s way too strong!”
“Why are you panicking? Our sect leader hasn’t made a move yet, and we still have a few elders who haven’t stepped in. Garrison might not have the last laugh.”
Quirina’s gaze was exceptionally solemn. She knew well how powerful Alistair was. The angry strike of Meteor Burst had been thwarted, and yet, Levi still seemed as relaxed as ever.
“Elders, prepare the amalgamated array. I’ll be assisting the attacks from the outside,” Quirina ordered. “Remember, all you need to do is to defeat him. Do not endanger his life!”
“Understood!”
Dozens of elders appeared in the yard. Once they positioned themselves, they began activating their techniques.
Energy burst out from their bodies and formed dozens of energy whirlpools.
As time ticked away, the energy whirlpools began connecting with each other to form a terror-inducing energy whirlwind.
The whirlwind rapidly changed positions around the elders.
“Mr. Garrison, please break the array,” came Quirina’s cold voice.
Without hesitation, Levi leaped right into the middle of the amalgamated array.
“Do your best; don’t restrain yourself. I don’t wish for you all to seek excuses after your defeat,” Levi said with a smile.
A flash of anger flitted past Quirina’s eyes.
Truth be told, she had been refraining from hurting Levi grievously because she felt that there was no point in her harming a talented person. After all, the amalgamated array was a force to be reckoned with.
Furthermore, she was in charge of attacking from the outside, so she was compensating for the amalgamated array’s weaker sections. It was impossible for Levi to win.
Yet, not only did Levi not appreciate her efforts, but he even taunted them.
“Heed my order, elders of Astre Lune Sect. Increase the power of the array. Since Mr. Garrison has voiced his request, we might as well fulfill it.”
“Understood!”
The elders were already annoyed with Levi. Now that they had the opportunity to avenge themselves, they wasted no time in pouring all of their energy into the amalgamated array.
The energy whirlwind was getting stronger and larger. The large rocks in the yard were pulled into the whirlwind and crushed into powder.
“Now that’s interesting.”
Levi stopped taking a defensive stance and struck right at the energy whirlwind with a punch.
The faint noise of a barrier breaking echoed in the space. It was as if Levi’s punch had shredded space itself.
The moment Levi’s fist came in contact with the energy whirlwind, thunderous sounds of collision could be heard.
“If a punch can’t destroy it, I’ll use another punch!”
Again, Levi aimed a punch at the energy whirlwind.
He had only used half of his power in the first punch, but in the second, he had used all of his power in it.
Struck hard by the punch, the energy whirlwind formed by the amalgamated array almost died off completely.
A moment later, only small energy whirlwinds the size of a thumb were left.
“Again!”
Levi was not in a rush to break the array.
However, just as he said that, he sensed something evil behind him.
Without turning his head, Levi stretched out two fingers to clasp Quirina’s sword between them.
“I didn’t know you were skilled in this, Lord Morell,” Levi mocked. “But I did say you could combine forces if you wanted to. Now, move back!”
With a flick of his finger, a wave of powerful energy crashed into the blade of Quirina’s sword.
Soreness traveled up Quirina’s arms, and the blade of her sword shook so badly she nearly dropped the weapon.
At the same time, the wave of energy hurled her backward.
Chapter 3825 With Just One Punch
Levi had first destroyed the energy whirlwind of the amalgamated array, then sent Quirina flying with a flick of his finger. His daunting combat prowess made the Astre Lune Sect council members freeze in their spots.
They even thought they were hallucinating. “The amalgamated array is supposed to be able to slay someone as powerful as sect leaders, but Levi broke it with just three punches?”
“Our sect leader attacked at the perfect timing, but Levi still detected her. This is unbelievable!” “Why do I sense something ominous?”
For the first time, the members of Astre Lune Sect were starting to doubt their sect’s invincibility. Most importantly, Levi did not seem to have used all of his strength all this while.
“It’s my turn to attack now. If your array can withstand three punches from me, I’ll consider this my loss,” Levi declared. A smile abruptly crept up on Quirina’s lips as she uttered, “I hope you mean what you say.”
Other than the capability of gathering power and releasing it in a burst, the amalgamated array was also capable of defense. It could hold its ground against even more powerful fighters.
Quirina found it ludicrous for Levi to say that he could break it in three punches. After all, Levi had had to use four punches to get rid of the energy whirlwind earlier. “Form the array!”
At that, the elders started activating their techniques again. Soon, numerous thick energy barriers appeared and surrounded the elders. “Break, you piece of junk!”
Levi stomped his feet against the ground and smashed into the energy barrier like a cannonball.
Time seemed to have stopped when Levi’s fist slammed into the energy barrier. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the spot of the collision.
All of a sudden, web-like cracks started spreading across the energy barrier.
A beat later, the energy barrier shattered, and the shockwave crashed into the elders.
The formation of the amalgamated array was instantly disrupted, and the elders could not scramble back in time to refresh the energy barrier.
Dozens of elders were thrown backward. In seconds, they were strewn everywhere.
The barrier had broken with just one punch instead of three.
A deafening silence enveloped the area. No one dared to make a sound.
Even Quirina was swallowing a lump in her throat in anxiety.
Out of everyone, she was the one who knew the power of the amalgamated array best. Even if she were to use her signature attack, she would not be able to break the defensive array with just one hit.
How frighteningly powerful is he?
Quirina looked at the calm Levi in shock and fear.
By then, Quirina could not muster any more thoughts of counterattacking Levi.
I’m not even on the same level of power as him. If I keep fighting him, I’ll only be embarrassing myself. Moreover, it seems that it took Levi no effort with that earlier punch too.
Quirina inhaled sharply. She dared not continue with the fight anymore.
If Levi had wanted to draw blood earlier, the elders would have all died.
So Levi wasn’t boasting when he said he could destroy the entire Astre Lune Sect. He really can do it.
Quirina let out a sigh before announcing to the sect members, “From now on, Astre Lune Sect shall heed Mr. Garrison’s orders.”
“Understood!” the people agreed. None stepped forward to protest.
In Kenfort, the powerful ones stood at the top of the pyramid. Levi’s terrifying power had impressed the members of Astre Lune Sect and made them willing to submit to him.
“Greetings, Lord Garrison,” Quirina uttered politely.
The others followed suit as they prostrated themselves before Levi and greeted him with his new title.
Even then, Cheriette was still in a daze.
She did not expect Levi to become the leader of Astre Lune Sect in the blink of an eye.
Chapter 3826 Wiping Out Void Sect
How has he been cultivating all this while? Cheriette was astounded, for Levi had almost overwhelmed the elites of Astre Lune Sect earlier effortlessly.
In his deep voice, Levi said, “Since you’re now my followers, I won’t mistreat you, of course. Please rise to your feet.” The people stood up, still reeling in from the shock after witnessing his strength.
Quirina was exceptionally impressed. She had no doubt that Levi would be able to obliterate the entire Astre Lune Sect if he wanted to.
“I heard from Cheriette that Astre Lune Sect is close to Void Sect. Do brief me on Void Sect’s situation,” Levi continued. As the leader of Astre Lune Sect, Quirina knew a lot about Void Sect.
Naturally, she would be the one to inform Levi about the details of Void Sect.
“Lord Garrison, Void Sect has a total of seven Empyreans and thirty-five elders. In terms of individual power, the vice sect leader and the sect leader are the most powerful individuals in the sect. In general, Void Sect’s combined power is on par with Astre Lune Sect’s.
However, it’s rumored that the leader of Void Sect has been in solitary training for many years, so no one really knows how powerful he is now. We’ve once dueled against each other many years ago, but it was a match even after hundreds of rounds.”
Levi was astonished to hear that. He had thought that there was still a wide gap between his power and Void Sect’s power.
In fact, he had thought that he would have to exercise caution when taking revenge on Gloria, Santino, and the others. He had thought he would have to play safe.
Yet, he discovered that Void Sect was not as scary as he had thought it would be. “Do they have any ace up their sleeve like an array that can protect the entire sect or something similar?” Levi continued asking.
After a moment of contemplation, Quirina replied, “I’m not too sure about that, but nothing will be more powerful than the amalgamated defense array made by the elders earlier. Other than the ultimate sects in Kenfort, medium-sized sects like us don’t have trump cards like arrays that can defend the entire sect.
Arrays as powerful as those will require the cooperation of the best spiritual array masters and mighty beings of the sect before they can be formed. Also, those arrays will need to use a dragon ley line as their foundation. Medium-sized sects can’t spare an additional dragon ley line for an array like that.”
“I see,” Levi muttered. So, at the end of the day, medium-sized sects don’t have that many resources to set up a sect-defending array. “In that case, does that mean I can just wipe out Void Sect right now? Will that be too risky?”
What the hell?
The members of Astre Lune Sect were rendered speechless. Are you seriously anxious even though you’re already this powerful?
“Mr. Gar—Lord Garrison, Void Sect is as powerful as Astre Lune Sect. If you can overwhelm us this easily, you can surely decimate Void Sect in no time. The only obstacle you might encounter is Void Sect’s leader,” Cheriette pointed out.
“Isn’t that sect leader as powerful as you? How strong can he be even after years of solitary training?” Levi asked as he turned to look at Quirina.
Quirina quickly explained, “Lord Garrison, you might now know about this. It’s not about how powerful Void Sect’s leader might be, but about his identity. He’s not a nobody; he comes from a super sect that is rumored to be stronger than Eclipse. However, for reasons we don’t know, he never borrowed the power of the super sect he came from. Furthermore, he has not been in Void Sect recently. No one knows where he is right now.”
Despite Quirina’s indirect words, Levi could hear the worry in them.
She was worried that the super sect behind Void Sect’s leader would emerge if Levi were to annihilate Void Sect.
If that were to happen, chances were Astre Lune Sect would be doomed as well.
Still, Levi smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’ll just wipe Void Sect out. I’ll take full responsibility for that.”
Chapter 3827 Holding Eclipse Academy Accountable
Meanwhile, the members of Eclipse Academy were busy looking for the culprit behind the drainage of the dragon ley line. The many deaths of Eclipse Academy fighters made them even angrier with the culprit.
Yunus had declared that he would sentence the culprit to death, and he had brought his own men out to look into the matter.
After Eclipse Academy’s thorough investigation, they discovered that there were three sects who posed a threat to the black-robed men—the Septistar Order, Astre Lune Sect, and Void Sect.
Yunus and his team proceeded to investigate further into those three sects. They found out that the Septistar Order team members had all ended up dead.
Even Jayceon Moore of the Septistar Order was among the dead.
It was unlikely that the Septistar Order had done that to get rid of the suspicions of others. It was too great of a sacrifice if that was true. Thus, Yunus temporarily dismissed the Septistar Order as one of the suspects.
Void Sect’s team remained intact, but Primo and the others could never use up the dragon ley line’s power in just one day.
Besides, other sect members had witnessed Primo taking his men and retreating from the dragon ley line that day.
Therefore, Yunus temporarily dismissed the thought of Void Sect as the culprit as well.
However, people had seen the Empyrean of Astre Lune Sect entering the vicinity of the dragon ley line with her team.
Yet, no one found Cheriette’s body there.
Even if Astre Lune Sect was not the culprit of the incident, they would certainly know something others did not.
“I’m going to interrogate them myself,” Yunus announced in a frigid tone.
After that, he led a team of over twenty people to the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect in a haste.
They wasted no time chit-chatting on their way there. Soon, Yunus arrived, and Quirina was there with some of her people to greet him.
After entering Astre Lune Sect’s main hall, Yunus took the main seat as if he was the master of the place.
“What rubbish is this? You’re a medium-sized sect, but you don’t even have decent tea?”
“What a tiring trip! Come here and massage my shoulders for me.”
“What’s with that look on your face? Are you upset? If you don’t do as I say, I’ll be delighted to get rid of you.”
The fighters of Eclipse Academy were as haughty as Yunus as they began ordering the council members of Astre Lune Sect around.
They had no respect for Astre Lune Sect at all.
Yet, despite their anger, the members of Astre Lune Sect dared not say a word.
After all, Eclipse Academy and Eclipse were mighty. Astre Lune Sect was nothing compared to them.
Yunus did not bother reining his men in despite noticing their conceited demeanors. As a matter of fact, he encouraged them to keep that up.
Yunus’ thoughts were easy to understand. He was trying to assert dominance so that he could easily hold Astre Lune Sect accountable for the dragon ley line incident.
“Quirina Morell, will you confess to your crime?” Yunus questioned icily.
Immediately, cold sweat rolled down Quirina’s spine. Yunus was the vice-chancellor of Eclipse Academy, and he was a man of power.
Moreover, he was one of the top five elders of Eclipse. Essentially, he represented Eclipse.
“Mr. Lohse, could you please enlighten me as to what crime I have committed?”
Quirina could hear her voice quavering. It was her first time being so close to a powerful figure from one of the top sects in Kenfort.
“I see that you’ve chosen to play the fool. A few days ago, your Empyrean, Cheriette Morell, led her team to compete for the dragon ley line. The members of Eclipse Academy were killed, but Cheriette managed to retreat unscathed. Reveal what happened on that day right away. If your answers don’t satisfy me, I don’t see the point of having Astre Lune Sect around anymore,” Yunus said coldly.
Chapter 3828 I Alone Will Be Enough
“Mr. Lohse, I really don’t know what happened,” Quirina said, her face scrunching up. On one side was Levi, and on the other was Eclipse Academy. Quirina did not know how to reply to Yunus.
She could not afford to cross either side. Most importantly, Levi had never told her what to do, so she wouldn’t dare to make any moves without his permission.
Unsurprisingly, Yunus flew into a rage. He threw the teacup onto the ground and uttered, “How dare you lie to me! You must have a death wish!”
From the corner of her eye, Quirina glanced at Levi, hoping that the latter would give her a hint as to what she should do. At that moment, Levi was pacing in the hall, seemingly lost in his thoughts.
When Yunus heard nothing from Quirina, his anger intensified. Right as he was about to continue to pressure her, he noticed Levi walking around as if no one else was in the hall.
“D*mn it!” Yunus slammed his palm onto the table before pointing a finger in Levi’s direction. “Kneel before me and apologize, or you shall die today!”
The other people of Astre Lune Sect were all silent, and some were even sprawled on the ground, but Levi was still pacing around. He was challenging Eclipse Academy, and that made Yunus feel as if his pride had taken a hit.
“Who are you to tell me to kneel before you?” After a pause, Levi continued, “The name’s Levi Garrison, and I’m the one you’re looking for. I was the one who killed the team from Eclipse Academy at the dragon ley line too. Now that you’ve found out the truth, what can you possibly do to me, you old fart?”
Levi’s words came like a bolt from the blue, and the people present gasped audibly.
“Why did Lord Garrison admit to it?”
“Yunus is a mighty man. If he leaves here today, Astre Lune Sect is going to be wiped out by Eclipse!”
“We’re in deep trouble.”
The members of Astre Lune Sect began to panic, for Levi’s confession was akin to a declaration of war against Eclipse Academy.
Most importantly, the man in front of them was Eclipse Academy’s mighty vice-chancellor. Levi was basically knocking on the grim reaper’s door.
There was no need for him to admit to the deeds at all. As long as he denied his involvement at the dragon ley line, Eclipse Academy would not be able to do anything to him.
“He’s the one who did this? How can that be?”
“He’s just an average guy. How can he possibly have killed that team that day?”
“No matter what, we have to kill this b*stard. How dare he challenge Eclipse Academy? This is unforgivable!”
Most members of Eclipse Academy were furious and in disbelief.
They had not paid any attention to Levi. Yunus, too, did not notice anything strange when he investigated the people’s combat prowess.
To Yunus, Levi was but an ordinary nobody.
“Levi Garrison?”
Yunus scoured through his mind for the names of the powerful figures in various sects, but he came up empty for that name.
“Whether you did it or not, you must die today. Kill him!” Yunus growled.
“Understood!”
Numerous members of Eclipse Academy immediately swarmed over and surrounded Levi.
Quirina and the council members of Astre Lune Sect found the hairs on the back of their necks standing up. By then, they could not turn back anymore.
After all, Levi was currently the leader of Astre Lune Sect. It would be inappropriate if they did not help him out.
However, they did not have enough bravery and strength to go up against the elites of Eclipse Academy. Hence, for a moment, they were at a loss.
“If you want the entire sect to be taken out, then go ahead and give him a helping hand.”
Yunus was exceptionally sensitive to the changes in the situation, and he noticed the conflicted thoughts Quirina and the council members had.
Even though Astre Lune Sect was a medium-sized sect, his men would definitely suffer a terrible loss if a fight to the death were to break out.
“There’s no need for you guys to do anything. I alone will be enough,” Levi said with a smile.
Chapter 3829 How Disappointing
The members of Eclipse Academy exploded with anger when they heard Levi’s insult. Even large sects would treat us with respect! This guy is a nobody from a medium-sized sect! How dare he show us such disrespect? We can’t let him get away with this! He must die!
Quirina and the others let out huge sighs in response. They really didn’t want to make an enemy of Eclipse Academy. “All right, enough talk! Just come at me all at once!” Levi said provocatively while making a beckoning gesture with his finger.
“I’ll deem you worthy of fighting me after you survive their attacks!” Yunus replied coldly with a sneer. Levi simply smiled at him without saying another word. He had his reasons for choosing to fight them all by himself.
I could easily crush Astre Lune Sect and become the head that way, but the sect members might not be willing to submit to me. Their resolve will easily be shaken when faced with strong foes like Eclipse Academy. However, if I can easily kill the elite fighters of these super sects, then their doubts and fears will disappear.
One of the members of Eclipse Academy shouted, “Kill him!”
That prompted the sect members to all attack at once. They launched palm strikes, punches, and energy waves at Levi from all directions.
“Take this!”
With an icy-cold look in his eyes, Levi unleashed a powerful wave of energy from his body.
Like a tidal wave, it drowned out all their attacks as it swept across the area.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each and every one of those attackers were sent flying from the impact.
It wasn’t until their bodies hit the ground that the onlookers realized something—their meridians had been severed completely.
Although they were technically still alive, they were no different from a person in a vegetative state.
It was such a shocking sight to behold that everyone in the crowd gasped in response.
The members of Astre Lune Sect were especially taken aback by Levi’s display of power.
What? Levi is that powerful? This is completely different from the time we sparred with him! Has he been holding back this much?
Yunus and the other members of Eclipse Academy were stunned by Levi’s strength.
He can sever their meridians using his spiritual energy alone? This guy is scary! I’m not even sure if I can pull off something like that!
The look in Yunus’ eyes turned gloomy as he ordered, “Stop holding back. Kill him with everything you’ve got!”
Levi simply broke into a wide grin and ran outside.
“Is he trying to escape? Ha! That’s not going to happen! Go after him!” Yunus yelled as he chased after Levi.
He assumed Levi was fleeing because that attack earlier had left him physically drained.
It wasn’t until he got outside that he saw Levi standing there waiting for him and his men.
Infuriated by Levi’s provocations, Yunus yelled at the top of his voice, “Die, you piece of sh*t!”
The other members of Eclipse Academy came rushing out and surrounded Levi.
“We’ll attack together and tear him apart!” Yunus ordered.
Those words had barely left his mouth when Levi suddenly disappeared from sight.
“Watch out! Behind you!” Yunus warned the man standing in front of him, but it was too late.
Levi delivered a palm strike to the back of that man’s head before the latter even realized what was going on. It all happened so quickly that he didn’t even have time to scream before he was killed.
“I’m going to kill every single one of you here today!”
Levi’s voice echoed in their ears, but they weren’t able to see him.
“Argh!”
Anguished screams rang out as Levi dashed past them and killed them all along the way.
In just five minutes, he had annihilated all the members of Eclipse Academy.
“Is this the best Eclipse Academy can do? How disappointing!” Levi commented nonchalantly.
Chapter 3830 We Will Just Kill Them All
The carefree look on Levi’s face made it seem as though killing those fighters was a walk in the park. The others at the scene gasped in shock when they saw what happened.
The Astre Lune Sect members felt somewhat relieved that Levi had gone easy on them. Otherwise, they could’ve all died a long time ago.
They had heard Cheriette’s stories about Levi slaughtering the elites of Eclipse Academy, but witnessing it in person felt completely different.
Although they figured Levi would probably emerge victorious, they didn’t think it would be this easy for him. Levi made it all look easy that they were even starting to look down upon the elite fighters of powerful sects.
Yunus couldn’t believe his eyes. T-These are all elites of Eclipse Academy! How is he able to defeat them all so effortlessly? This guy has got to be an elite fighter from some kind of super sect! There’s no other way to explain his terrifying level of cultivation!
“W-Who the heck are you?” he asked coldly.
“You are not worthy of knowing my identity! Now, enough talk! It’s time for you to meet your maker!” Levi replied with a sneer.
“I’ll kill you for your insolence!”
Although Yunus was intimidated by Levi’s power, he wasn’t about to just give up without a fight.
Of course, he had considered making an escape, but that would only put him at a much greater disadvantage as it could prove to be fatal, especially when he was facing a powerful foe like Levi.
“Die!” Yunus yelled as he whipped out his sword and stabbed at Levi.
Instead of backing off, Levi charged straight at him and threw a punch at the incoming sword.
The moment their attacks collided, Levi could gauge his strength and instantly lost interest in fighting him.
Although Yunus was far more powerful than Quirina, he was nowhere near Levi’s level.
“Your underlings are probably lonely in the underworld. I’ll make this quick so you can go keep them company!” Levi said while throwing a series of punches at Yunus to block off all his escape routes.
Unable to back away in time, Yunus was hit in the chest by two of those punches. The sound of bones breaking and shattering echoed throughout the area as Yunus was sent flying into a concrete wall like a cannonball.
Yet, Levi wasn’t about to stop there. He closed the distance between them in a split second and grabbed Yunus firmly by the throat.
Crack!
With a strong twist of his wrist, Levi broke Yunus’ neck with a loud crack and ended his life on the spot.
Having taken care of all Eclipse Academy fighters, Levi said with a smile, “Get someone to clean up the courtyard. It’s a mess.”
After a moment of deathly silence, everyone in the crowd went crazy.
“He did it! He actually did it!”
“Just how weak is Yunus? He was completely defenseless against Le—Lord Garrison!”
“Yunus isn’t weak, you fool! He could wipe out the entire Astre Lune Sect all by himself! Lord Garrison is just too powerful for him, that’s all.”
It wasn’t long before the courtyard and lobby were all cleaned up. Levi had a carefree look on his face as he casually sipped on some coffee.
The members of Eclipse Sect, on the other hand, all had solemn expressions as they stared at him.
“Lord Garrison, you’ve just declared war against Eclipse and Eclipse Academy! Astre Lune Sect isn’t powerful enough to fight them off. We need to come up with a strategy!” Quirina reminded him worriedly.
Although Levi was insanely powerful, Eclipse was a huge sect with tons of elite fighters and a huge amount of resources at its disposal.
As long as they could keep Levi busy, the members of Astre Lune Sect would definitely be done for.
“That’s fine; we’ll just kill them all if they dare come for us. As long as you guys keep a tight lid on what happened today, no one will know about Yunus and his men dying here. Anyway, I still have some business to attend to. Cheriette, you’re coming with me!”
