Chapter 2711

Reese punched Oleander, sending him flying several meters away as he crashed down from the house into the front yard.

Hearing the commotion, the other martial artists waiting in the courtyard quickly surrounded them.

"Who dares to attack our young sir?"

"Guys, charge!"

A crowd of martial artists rushed in.

Reese took them on one by one, dealing with them swiftly and cleanly. Of course, he did not kill them. After dealing with the martial artists, he slowly approached Oleander.

"Enough with the theatrics. It's time for you to use that thing of yours."

Oleander's mouth twitched before he burst into maniacal laughter. “Haha, bastard, I'll make sure you die miserably today!"

Oleander stretched his hand out and absorbed the true energy of all the martial artists around him.

Reese rushed forward to stop him, realizing that if this continued, Oleander would end up killing everyone—including himself! Oleander, however, had gone completely mad.

The Wakefield family's ability to engage in the trade of true energy was due to their unique constitution which allowed them to absorb and release true energy from their bodies. The energy did not have to be their own; it could belong to others as well.

However, true energy inherently repelled other true energy to some extent. If Oleander were to absorb all the true energy indiscriminately like this...

Oleander covered his face after absorbing all the true energy, declaring, “Let me show you what I got from the Mauris family."

Suddenly, his body began to swell and shrink, as if it were on the verge of exploding. The true energy within him surged outward, enveloping his entire form. In the next instant, a grotesque creature that resembled something inhuman appeared before Reese. The creature was covered in a multitude of fierce eyes and mouths, with Oleander's face manifesting on the chest of this monstrosity.

"See this? This is the true form of an immortal!" Oleander taunted.

Reese recognized the creature. "No way, it's a malignant possession!"

According to the philosophy practiced by Reese's sect, humans possessed three fundamental forms of malevolence-greed, obsession, and wrath. These three were to be avoided by cultivators as being swayed by such emotions could lead to madness and ultimate destruction.

At present, Oleander fully unleashed the three forms of malevolence from himself and the other martial artists. It turned out Oleander had not merely been absorbing true energy. He had also fed off their resentment and malice.

In the end, he transformed into the grotesque entity that Reese was now facing—

a creature that was neither human nor demon.

"Is this for real? This is bad!" Reese belatedly recognized the clothes of the individuals from Capiton.

"They were from Wild Ram Hill! If that's the case, Tybalt is going to have a tough time dealing with them!"

Currently, Reese found himself unable to escape as his physical attacks would be disrupted by the emotional chaos created by Oleander's powers. Oleander's attacks were the same as the Light Reflector Mirror's attacks. Oleander's attacks were particularly effective against pure physical martial arts attacks like Reese's.

At the entrance of the highway leading in and out of Palvere, Tybalt instructed his subordinates to block the road to intercept those from Capiton.

Sure enough, the martial artists from Capiton came to a halt. A Path taker with long white hair emerged from the vehicle, demanding, "My young friend, what's the meaning of this?"

Tybalt responded coldly, "Let that woman inside go right now or I'll wipe you out!" The white-haired Path taker scoffed, "Are you still half-asleep?"

Tybalt did not bother wasting any more words. He shouted to his subordinates behind him, "Guys, arm yourselves! Teach this old fool a lesson!"
