Santiago, quite clearly, harbored a certain bias against women. He showed restraint when dealing with them, but with men, he showed no such mercy.

With a casual exertion, he shattered the wrist of the burly man with a sickening crack.

“Ah-”

The shriek of the giant, his voice twisted in pain, sent a shiver down the spines of the Five Poison Sect’s experts. Yet, to the Wolf Warrior Unit, it served to rally their spirits, filling them with a new sense of hope!

At this moment, they didn’t even need Santiago’s help; they could handle the Five Poison Sect’s experts on their own.

However, none of them were eager to overshadow Santiago’s actions.

“Too noisy!”

Santiago took another step, launching a drunken fist that sent the burly man flying across the room.

The giant crashed into the wall with tremendous force, creating a massive crater in the stone, foam spilling from his mouth as he collapsed, unconscious.

“The fastest and the strongest have already fallen. I heard there’s also someone who can take the hardest hits? Heh, come out and see if you can withstand even two of my strikes.”

Santiago seemed casual, digging in his ear and chuckling.

The one known for enduring bullets–the explosive–haired man–heard this and immediately tensed. He clenched his backside and froze in place, not daring to move. The thought of stepping forward was the last thing on his mind; he would have rather fled to the safety of his home.

Santiago, however, knew that the Wolf Warrior Unit were formidable opponents. With a sudden leap, he appeared directly above the explosive–haired man.

“So… fast!”

www

The explosive–haired man’s face twisted in disbelief as he realized that, despite his own speed, the long- legged woman renowned for her agility was nothing compared to Santiago’s swiftness.

Thud!

Thud!

Santiago landed two swift kicks, sending the explosive–haired man staggering back in a disheveled retreat.

Though he was clearly shaken, the explosive–haired man stood his ground.

“Heh, you can’t hurt me!”

Despite taking the blows, the explosive–haired man smirked, still filled with confidence.

“Not bad!”

Finished

Santiago nodded in approval, but then his tone shifted But compared to the mighty Tiger Martial Saint, your hard–earned strength is nothing.”

With that, Santiago’s two fingers bent with precision, pressing into the man’s most vulnerable spot.

The explosive–haired man, who had been so proud moments ago, now turned pale as a deep crimson flooded his face. His mouth trembled in quiet whispers. “I knew it… I knew… it would come to this–ugh!”

Before he could finish his words, he vomited blood and collapsed, unconscious.

The remaining Five Poison Sect experts, seeing their comrades fall one after another, turned to flee. But Santiago wasn’t done yet. With a swift motion, he kicked up shards of broken stone from the ground, striking down the remaining enemies with brutal accuracy.

“Strong! So strong!”

Ironskull, Ostrich, and the others, all seasoned warriors from Dark Night Islands, could only gape in awe. They had encountered many powerful individuals in their time, but none had reached such a terrifying level of strength. Not even the unrivaled King of the Dark Night, Emmanuel, had been this formidable.

“Old master, who are you?”

Magnus stepped forward, bowing respectfully as he spoke.

“I know him!”

A

****

Before Santiago could respond, Lexi eagerly rushed forward. Her eyes shone with recognition. “You’re Emmanuel’s master! Santiago!”

Santiago smiled and nodded.

The group gasped collectively, finally realizing the truth.

..

This was the master of the King of the Dark Night! No wonder Santiago’s power was so immense–it was otherworldly, far beyond the reach of mere mortals.

“Santiago, please, you have to hurry and save Ms. Quillen! She’s still trapped inside!”

Lexi pleaded anxiously, even going so far as to kneel before the others.

“Alright, you all should go back,” Santiago replied with a smile. “She’s my apprentice’s wife. If she were still alive, I’d definitely save her.”

“No, we’ll go with you and help!” Aurora volunteered eagerly.

But Santiago only chuckled softly and turned away, heading toward the circular hole that had been blasted through by the Storm Dragon Spear. With his back to the group, he said, “The remaining enemies inside are tough, and you won’t be able to help me. Besides, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner. You all should hurry back home and spend it with your families.”

The group exchanged glances, all looking toward Magnus for direction.

Magnus shrugged. Even with his vast experience, he had never encountered such a transcendent master.

Chapter 2184 The Last Stand

Finished

In front of someone of this caliber, it was possible that they would only be a burden, adding to the casualties. Therefore, avoiding further harm and resting seemed the wisest course.

“Happy New Year in advance,” Santiago said, leaving them with a parting word. He suddenly leaped into the hole, grabbed the Storm Dragon Spear, and disappeared from sight.

“Please, bring Ms. Quillen back safe and sound!” Lexi could only stand there, her hands pressed together in

prayer.

At that moment, inside the stone temple, a muffled grunt echoed.

The sound was not loud, but it made Mackenzie’s heart feel as if it were being torn apart.

Anna, in an effort to keep her from wavering, had one of her arms ripped off, yet not a single scream escaped her lips.

“Ms. Quillen, you truly have a heart of stone!” Isabella couldn’t help but shake her head, sighing. “You watch your companions suffer, each one cruelly tortured, blood staining the ground before you, and yet you feel nothing? No pity, no sorrow?”

Mackenzie did not dare blink, fearing that the tears in her eyes might overflow at any moment.

“I’m not without pity. I’m not without sorrow,” she replied softly. “It’s just that… I have faith in my

heart

By the end of her sentence, she replaced her tears with a smile. Looking at her fallen companions, whose hands and feet were either severed or broken, she said, I’m sorry. But your blood will not be in vain. The Wolf Warrior Unit will make sure the Five Poison Sect is wiped out, and we will all walk the path to the afterlife together.”

“Saintess, you’re truly… remarkable!” Anna, lying on the ground and bleeding profusely, gritted her teeth and, with the last of her strength, praised Mackenzie.

Even more pitiful than her was Solana, who lay face down in a pool of blood. Yet, she was still barely alive, lifting one finger to gesture a thumbs–up toward Mackenzie.

“Heh, I’m so happy! I’m really so happy!” Quintus, already lying on the ground, covered in blood, did not show a hint of fear. Instead, he laughed with excitement. “Mackenzie, something that even Emmanuel couldn’t do, I’ve finally done! I’m dying, but I’ll protect you all the way to the underworld!”

Mackenzie forced a bitter smile, and the tears she had been holding back finally fell.

Isabella sighed deeply. If she had a choice, she would have preferred to be friends with people like Mackenzie, not enemies. They were the same kind of people, yet their beliefs were different.

“Dammit, still trying to act cool when death’s right in front of you! Let me kill you!” Aora, having lost all patience, was ready to take Quintus‘ life.

But Isabella no longer had any reason to stop him.

Just then, a voice rang out, “You won’t be able to kill anyone.”

The voice was not loud, but it was as if thunder had struck, sending a shockwave through everyone present.

Aora, as if moved by some invisible force, paused in his tracks.

His cultivation was even higher than the great guardians outside, so he immediately understood what the

voice meant.

Someone had broken through the thick walls of the stone temple!

And none of them had noticed!

If the intruder planned to ambush them, the victims would have no chance of survival.

Following the direction of the voice, they saw a slightly hunched figure entering the room, holding a two- meter–long silver spear.

Despite the oddity of the scene, it felt entirely natural, as if the old man and the spear were one.

“It’s you?” Isabella was momentarily stunned, clearly surprised to see this man here.

“Yes, it’s me. Isabella,” Santiago said with a small smirk, his gaze towards Isabella tinged with a hint of affection, as if he were looking at a younger sister.

“Congratulations,” Isabella said with a smile.

She could already sense that Santiago’s strength had far surpassed what it had been in Eldoria.

She also knew that with him here, things were about to take a dangerous turn.
