Chapter459 The First Person Within a Century
The distance of over a hundred meters rapidly closed in! Eighty meters! Fifty meters! Thirty meters! Lucifer Carter, as well as those dark energy soldiers, all sensed an incredibly intense aura of death. Cold sweat formed on their foreheads, their hearts thumped violently, and in a frenzy, they sprinted for their lives! “Master Guoshi, save me!!” Frantically fleeing, Lucifer Carter shouted towards the two luxury cars on the opposite official road, a mere hundred meters away.
In the next moment, with a booming sound, the roof of the leading luxury car suddenly shattered. A figure, under the high-speed movement of the car, leaped out and appeared in mid-air in the blink of an eye! Then, the figure raised a fist and suddenly, a huge fist shadow materialized, hurtling towards Lucifer Carter and the others! More precisely, it was hurtling towards the enormous blade shadow behind Lucifer Carter and the others!
Obviously, Lord North, seated in the car, witnessed the battle at Hill Riverside and heard Lucifer Carter’s cry for help. Therefore, at this critical moment of life and death for Lucifer Carter and the others, he broke out of the car and resolutely made a move, attempting to intercept Sean’s attacking blade shadow from a distance!
Unfortunately, despite Lord North’s profound background as a longstanding Bright Realm practitioner in the Bright Realm for a decade, the enormous fist shadow he unleashed and Sean’s enormous blade shadow were both substantial, as swift as thunder, and as rapid as lightning. However… it was a pity that he was still a step too late. He was a hundred meters away from Lucifer Carter and the others, while the enormous blade shadow was less than thirty meters away from them!
So, just as hope surged within Lucifer Carter and the others upon seeing Lord North intervening, at the moment when Lord North’s enormous fist shadow was nearly upon them, Sean’s enormous blade shadow reached them ahead of time!
Pfft! Pfft, pfft, pfft!!! The enormous blade shadow, transformed from Bright Energy, was unparalleled in sharpness. It fell upon Lucifer Carter and the others as if slicing through vegetables, encountering no resistance. Accompanied by a series of crisp and piercing noises, Lucifer Carter and the others suddenly felt a sharp pain at their waists. The next moment, their bodies were bisected at the waist, their upper and lower halves splitting apart. Due to the momentum of their rapid sprint, a very bizarre scene occurred: their upper bodies continued to “run” forward, or rather, “fly” forward due to inertia, while their lower bodies stumbled and fell one after another onto the official road!
A single strike! It cleaved them all in two!
And this was not the worst part! The most dreadful part was that after the enormous blade shadow severed their bodies, it continued “flying” forward along with their upper halves, meeting with the enormous fist shadow hurtling towards them from the opposite side, and fiercely collided!
Boom! The clash between Bright Realm practitioners was earth-shattering. The deafening sound of the explosion echoed through the vast night sky, resounding for tens of miles. Even the soldiers fighting desperately at Hill Riverside were alarmed. For a moment, the previously intense battle came to a standstill, and everyone couldn’t help but look towards the source of the sound!
Only the sound of the explosion reverberated through the vast night sky, lingering endlessly! The enormous fist shadow and the enormous blade shadow seemed evenly matched, seemingly indistinguishable. With the echoing explosions, they both dissipated, completely annihilated. As for the upper halves of Lucifer Carter and the others that flew along with the enormous blade shadow, they were instantly blasted into smithereens, leaving no trace of their bodies, only blood and flesh scattered like a fine mist in the air, emitting a pungent smell of blood.
It was too brutal! For the ordinary soldiers of the North Kingdom and the Shirine Empire, who had never even had the chance to see their Emperor, let alone a member of the Hall of Jade, they had never witnessed a true Bright Realm practitioner before this. Now, not only did they witness a genuine Bright Realm practitioner, they saw a clash between two Bright Realm practitioners, a sight that undoubtedly brought them tremendous visual impact and psychological shock!
It was too tragic! Poor Lucifer Carter, the commander of the North Kingdom’s three armies, who had fought on the battlefield for over fifty years, a prominent figure who had approached the level of a Bright Realm practitioner, a seasoned veteran, had met such a tragic end right before their eyes!
His body torn asunder! Reduced to nothing! Just like the dark energy soldiers of the North Kingdom who were slain by Sean earlier, until the moment of his death, Lucifer Carter still did not know that the one who killed him was not Lord Snow, but General Wolf Sean!
“What a formidable foundation of Bright Energy!” Lord North hovered in mid-air, draped in a gray robe. Hiseyes glinted with a deep and chilling light as he surveyed the battleground created by the clash of the enormous fist and blade shadows. Then, his gaze, spanning hundreds of meters, locked directly onto Sean’s position amidst tens of thousands of people. He spoke across the distance, “You are not Lord Snow!”
This single statement stupefied everyone, including Knox, who was standing behind Sean at that moment.
“What in the world?” Knox’s heart skipped a beat, his face darkening. He instinctively looked at Sean’s back, thinking, “I just met Lord Snow a few days ago, and this person in front of me is exactly like Lord Snow!”
“How could it not be?” “Lord North is getting old. Could he be mistaken?”
After undergoing plastic surgery, Sean wore Lord Snow’s clothes and bore a striking resemblance to him, even mimicking his voice flawlessly. Knox had only met Lord Snow once before, and it was in the dark of night, so naturally, he couldn’t discern the truth from the fake.
However, he couldn’t escape Lord North’s discerning eyes.
“Oh?” Sean’s Bright Energy surged, lifting his body from among the thousands, and slowly emerging into mid-air, facing Lord North hundreds of meters away. He asked, “And how would you know?”
“Your aura,” Lord North shook his head. “It’s different from Lord Snow’s! Lord Snow, as a member of the Hall of Jade, infiltrated the North Kingdom and visited the Buddha Academy. I once sparred with him and I remember his aura.”
“Your appearance and voice may be similar, but they are just that, similar. Those who are observant can naturally spot the flaws. Furthermore,” he continued, “even if Lord Snow truly advanced into the Bright Realm, how could a newcomer possess such a formidable Bright Energy aura? How could they unleash such a powerful and domineering strike? How could they have slain General Carter before my very eyes? And how could they have matched my own strike just now?”
Indeed! Only true Bright Realm practitioners knew what level of power a newcomer to the Bright Realm should possess. Sean’s enormous blade shadow, striking down Lucifer Carter and the others from a distance, and contending evenly with Lord North’s enormous fist shadow, clearly demonstrated a level of power beyond what a newcomer to the Bright Realm should have possessed.
“Heh,” Sean chuckled lightly. Unsurprised and admiring of Lord North’s ability to see through his disguise, he praised, “Truly worthy of being Lord North, your reputation precedes you.”
Lord North inquired, “Who are you?”
“Take a guess,” Sean smiled and said, “It’s worth a shot, isn’t it?”
Lord North seemed to have had the answer long before, almost the instant Sean finished speaking, he spoke, “I have long heard that in the Southern borders of the North Kingdom, which is the northern battlefield of your Shirine Empire, a remarkably talented young man emerged in recent years. At the mere age of twenty-six, he stepped into the Complete Stage, a level that many yearn for throughout their lives. Leading a group called the Bloody Wolf, he has caused significant resistance and trouble for the North Kingdom!”
“However!”
“Suddenly retired a year ago!”
“Later!”
“I heard that half a year ago, you officially entered the ranks of Bright Realm, slaying the beast king, Lord Fergus of the South Forest, Prince Ashby, and even implicated in the death of the Emperor, King Ron!”
“General Wolf of the North!”
“Sean!”
“I suppose my guess is correct, isn’t it?”
Sure enough!
Although Lord North had secluded himself in the Buddha Academy, he was well-informed. Solely based on the recent display of his enormous blade, he accurately deduced Sean’s true identity!
General Wolf!
Sean!
As Lord North’s words landed, both the North Kingdom’s army and the Shirine Empire’s army echoed a collective gasp. Clearly, Lord North’s words had startled them, or rather, it was Sean’s true identity that had shaken them!
“General Wolf Sean???”
“Oh my word!”
Equally stunned was Knox. His eyes widened like saucers, almost popping out of their sockets. His face bore an indescribable look of shock as he turned to the old monk and Karen Smith beside him, pointing at Sean suspended in mid-air, his voice trembling as he asked, “Two, is he… is he… is he really… General Wolf?”
The name General Wolf Sean was renowned, not only within the Shirine Empire’s army but also in the North Kingdom’s army, especially among those present tonight who had participated in the northern battles.
As for Knox…
Well, he had always regarded General Wolf Sean as a role model and an idol, essentially being one of Sean’s die-hard fans!
A devoted fan!
So, upon learning that the “Lord Snow” before him was none other than General Wolf Sean, Knox was even more excited and thrilled than the others!!!
“Is there a problem?”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Karen Smith glared at Knox, her expression dripping with disdain, as if to say, “Look at you, so inexperienced…”
Gulp!
Knox swallowed hard, completely disregarding Karen Smith’s disdain. He raised his head, gazing at Sean. His eyes, brimming with tears due to overwhelming excitement, beheld Sean as if he were radiating a dazzling golden light from head to toe!
“Correct!”
Only to hear Sean say, “It’s me!”
The beheading operation had been successfully completed. Lucifer Carter and twenty-one Complete Stage commanders of the North Kingdom had been slain. Sean no longer had any need to conceal his identity!
“Young hero!”
To Sean’s slight surprise, after confirming his true identity, Lord North did not show intense murderous intent. Instead, in a calm tone, he praised, “You are good! Very good! At such a young age, to possess such strength. I am nearing a century in age and have seen countless geniuses, but a talent like yours is one in a million!”
“Within a century, not just in the North Kingdom and the Shirine Empire, but in the entire Middleland, there is only you!”
One in a million!
Within a century, only you!
Lord North’s praise for Sean could be considered incredibly high, as his words elevated Sean to a terrifying height as the “foremost person of the century” with just a single sentence!!!
This statement!
Immediately frightened the soldiers of both the North Kingdom and the Shirine Empire even more than when they learned of Sean’s true identity. They were more frightened, more shaken! They had only known General Wolf Sean to be extremely formidable, but they had never dreamed that he could be this close to being monstrous!!!
Moreover!
Amidst the shock, they had unwavering belief in Lord North’s judgment, because he was Lord North!!!
“So what?”
Sean hadn’t expected that after killing Lucifer Carter and so many North Kingdom commanders and soldiers, Lord North personally arrived, and upon meeting, he began praising him. This made Sean roll his eyes impatiently and ask, “How do you plan to fight tonight?”
That’s right!
Whether I praise you or you praise me, after the mutual flattery, we still have to face reality!
This is war!
And it’s a national war!
Sean and Lord North’s identities and positions had already determined that they were enemies, not friends. It’s a matter of life and death!
