Chapter 1981

Brayden quickly fled. With one step, he appeared one hundred meters away.

However, James’ speed was not inferior to his.

His physical body was reformed by the Demonic Lotus, which gave him terrifying power.

James exerted his physical strength and quickly chased after Brayden. He caught up with Brayden in

the deep mountain forests and blocked his way.

At that moment, Brayden could not exert any strength from his arm.

His arm continued to bleed.

He looked at James barricading his path and said coldly, “Don’t act arrogant, James. I’m from the

Overworld, and it won’t be long before my world merges with Earth. When that time comes, the

strongest people from our world will come to Earth. You’ll definitely be tortured to death if you kill me

now.”

Brayden knew he was no match for James. Thus, he resorted to threatening and intimidating James.

James was not affected by his words.

Brayden had to die. Otherwise, he would leak his information and attract formidable foes like Xain to

hunt him down. James knew he was not ready yet.

“Your death is inevitable.”

James did not say anything more and drew his sword.

The Primordial Dragon Blade shined with a bright golden light.

“Presumptuous!”

Brayden was furious.

He knew he was inferior to James, but James might fail to kill him if he tried his best to fight back.

Brayden also drew his sword and unleashed all his energy.

The energy caused the ancient trees around them to be uprooted. A few rocks also burst and shattered

into pieces.

“I’ll kill you,” Brayden roared furiously.

Gripping his long sword, he instantly appeared before James and slashed his sword, aiming for his

head. James raised the Primordial Dragon Blade to resist.

Clank!

The two swords collided, and sparks flickered.

The ground under James’ feet cracked open due to the monstrous force.

However, James held up against the force.

He counterattacked and plunged his sword at Brayden’s vital points.

Brayden quickly changed his posture to parry James’ attack.

An intense fight broke out instantly.

James used all his strength with his exquisite swordsmanship, forcing Brayden to retreat constantly. In

just a short moment, Brayden’s thigh was pierced, and a bloody wound formed.

Fighting against James, Brayden became increasingly furious.

He exerted all his strength but was unable to harm James.

However, James’ reaction was quick, and he could swiftly dodge his attacks. After several exchanges

of moves, Brayden was forced to defend passively.

Although he had a relatively high rank, he was passively defending against James. However, James

would not be able to kill him so soon.

Boom!

The two swords collided again.

Brayden was knocked back a hundred meters, and his body slammed into a big tree, knocking it down.

James also felt the aftermath of the collision, and his arm went numb.

“He’s pretty strong.”

James took a deep breath.

A Supernatural who had unlocked the Seventh Inner Gate was powerful. Despite using all his strength,

he would not be able to kill him easily.

James was worried dragging it out longer would give way to unexpected situations. He put away the

Primordial Dragon Balde. Black energy emerged from his body and quickly gathered to form a black

lotus.

A powerful energy erupted from the lotus.

“T-This…”

Brayden’s expression completely changed.

This was the energy that scared him back then.

Now that the black lotus had appeared, his sense of defeat intensified. Under the energy’s

suppression, Brayden’s legs trembled, and he could not help but have the urge to kneel to worship

James.

He forcibly suppressed the feeling, not letting himself kneel.

Eventually, he could not withstand it anymore and fell to his knees.

He mobilized all his True Energy and forcibly resisted the black lotus’ suppression. He struggled to get

up from the ground and stared at James with fear. Through his trembling teeth, he asked, “W-What is

that?”
