Chapter 1403

Polaris roared.

He could not accept such a result.

If he had been defeated by Koehler Keyes or even the Vampire clan’s First Blood Emperor, he would

have admitted defeat gracefully.

However, he was defeated by an impudent brat. Polaris felt humiliated.

As he roared, he waved the staff in his hand, which swirled up a powerful force. Then, he struck James’

head with great force.

James’ face darkened, and he hurriedly took a few steps back. In an instant, he was a few meters

away. Lifting the Blade of Justice, he slashed the sword.

The Blade of Justice clashed with the staff.

James was above, while Polaris was holding the staff high up to withstand James’ pressure. As James’

force was great, Polaris was slowly being pushed downward.

Clack!

After descending for a few meters, the staff snapped into two.

Polaris was injured by the terrifying Sword Energy that burst forward. Like a stringless kite, he crashed

into the ground.

Boom!

The earth shook. Half of his body was buried in deep snow as he simply lay on the ground motionless.

The crowd fell silent.

James sheathed the Blade of Justice and descended from the sky, landing steadily on the ground.

Looking at Polaris who vomited a mouthful of blood, he walked over to him and looked down at him

from above, “You are far weaker than I am. You would have been dead if not for me going easy on

you.”

“You… Blergh!”

Enraged, Polaris vomited a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.

James paid no attention to the unconscious Polaris and simply turned to leave. He found a secluded

spot and sat in a lotus position.

A few Polaris Sect martial artists hurriedly dragged Polaris out of the snow and brought him

somewhere else to heal his injuries. Though the battle seemed dull, it was a battle between the most

powerful martial artists in the world.

Holding Excalibur in his hand, Koehler slowly walked to the middle and scanned his surroundings. His

gaze remained fixed on James for a few seconds before he turned to look at the crowd, “As expected

of an ancient martial artist from Sol! What an eye-opening battle that was! James’ battle against

Archbishop Polaris marks the opening of the International Martial Arts Conference. Feel free to

challenge anyone you like.”

Koehler’s voice boomed throughout Mount Olympus.

Immediately, someone stepped forward to challenge the martial artists on the Elysian Ranking.

James did not concern himself with the battles that ensued.

He did not leave but instead waited for Polaris to regain consciousness. He wanted to ask him to

investigate Delilah’s whereabouts. At the same time, he was curious to see what Lucjan was up to. Not

only that, he wanted to see how powerful the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect was and how the sect

managed to sweep through the ancient martial world in just two short months.

Many unknown people challenged the martial artists on the Elysian Ranking.

Some emerged victorious, while some were defeated.

The defeated were removed from the ranking while the victors’ names were listed in their place.

James observed the battlefield intently. Solean martial arts were wildly different from their foreign

counterparts. The latter was strange and unpredictable. Just as he was preoccupied with his thoughts,

al voice came.

“Not bad, kid…”

He turned his head.

A person had appeared on the rock beside him out of nowhere.

The man was wearing a black overcoat and had short hair. A silver mask covered half of his face.

However, James could recognize him from his voice.

“Why are you here? I thought you weren’t coming.”

“I was concerned after hearing that Lucjan is here. That’s why I came.”
