The two gritted their teeth as they attacked, unleashing all they had.

However, soon, they were outdone.

Fade was even more proficient with a long spear than with the sword and saber.

Although the two of them tried their best, in less than five minutes, they were forced back and on the verge of defeat.

"Is he a monster?"

"Why is he so proficient in so many kinds of weapons? How did he do that?"

"Could it be that he really is a Half-Lord Level expert?"

Maurice and Hosea's faces turned red from the exertion, and their hands holding the weapons began to tremble.

Seeing that the two of them were about to lose, at the last moment, Fade threw away the spear and took a few steps back.

"What is he doing?"

"Why did he give up all of a sudden?"

Again, everyone was confused.

Fade clapped his hands with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He whispered to himself, "The martial essence is indeed strong. I didn't expect my skills to have improved so much."

"I've tried the first six kinds of martial essences. Now, there's only thunder essence left."

With a soft noise, he reached out his hands, stirring up the thunder essence in his spiritual consciousness.

In an instant, lightning flashed from the palm of his hand.

Then, with a whoosh, two clouds of lightning roared and flew towards Maurice and Hosea.

They felt a terrible power coming and hurriedly raised a positive energy shield in front of them, trying to block Fade's lightning attack.

The impact was earth-shattering.

Their shields were instantly penetrated, and the dark blue lightning struck the two men with a violent sizzle that made the onlooker's scalps feel numb.

The two men screamed as they were enveloped in lightning, desperate to escape.

Soon, the two of them slumped to the ground.

Seeing this, Fade snorted and withdrew his hands.

In an instant, the thunder and lightning dissipated and the sky cleared; it was as if nothing had happened.

"I've comprehended about 6,000 bolts of thunder essence on the seventh level. This power really is extraordinary, second only to that of the fire essence." Fade was quite satisfied with the power of the attacks. He put his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on Maurice and Hosea.

The two staggered to their feet with the help of their families and friends.

They were in a sorry state.

Their skins were burned black and their clothes were in tatters. Their bodies were covered with wounds in the shape of lightning bolts, oozing blood.

When they met Fade's gaze, the look in their eyes was a hailstorm of emotions.

There was fury and unwillingness, but also helplessness and fear.

Seeing their complicated reactions, Fade snorted coldly, "I told you that I mean no harm. I just want to talk with you."

"However, if you insist on fighting me, then that's the only thing I can do."

"You killed my grandson and hurt so many members of the Guo family, and you still say you come in peace..." Maurice croaked angrily.

Fade snorted coldly. "If I wanted to kill someone, you would be dead by now."

Maurice suddenly froze at his words.

Indeed, with the strength that Fade just showed, he and Hosea should be dead.

But in the end, Fade let them go, which indeed surprised him.

For a moment, Maurice was stunned; he was rooted to the ground and unable to move.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps thundered into the room. A servant ran in in a hurry and said, "Mr. Maurice, Mr. Maurice..."

Zeward glared at him. "What's wrong?"

The servant hurriedly said, "M- Mr. Maurice ordered us to check on Fade, and now, there is news."

"What news?" Zeward asked instinctively.

Immediately, he thought of Fade, who was not far away. His face was stiff and he wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, the servant had already spoken.

"Micovia sent people to investigate the previous battle in Pagodaland. Now, the results are out."

"At that time, it was Fade, the young

Martial Arts Master of our country, who had a big fight in Mancho City of Pagodaland. He went there to save his friends, but he ran afoul of the Witchcraft Clan because his friends were caught by them. Finally, he killed the Witch Lord and Sunny Brothers as well"

Everyone was stupefied by this news.

Maurice and Hosea were even more shocked.

After all, they had discussed this

matter the day before the party. et

that time, they were still lamenting the death of the Witch Lord and Sunny Brothers.

The two of them became more anxious to reach the Half-Lord level.

They didn't expect Fade to have killed the Witch Lord and Sunny Brothers.

Finally, the two of them understood why they were beaten by him.

They weren't even on the same level as him at all.

The silence was deafening. Everyone stared at Fade in shock, unable to say a word.

Fade looked at Maurice with his hands clasped behind his back and said coldly, "Now, are you willing to cooperate with me in my investigation?" Hearing this, Maurice frowned. He hesitated for a moment and then sighed. "The Guo family is willing to cooperate..."

However, just as Maurice was about to agree, a loud shout like rolling thunder came from the depths of Greenfield Mountain, stunning the crowd. "Who is this presumptuous little brat?"

Amidst the rumbling, an old man with a long beard and a long robe flew out from within Greenfield Mountain and landed in the main hall. Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the long-haired elder.

When they recognized him, their expressions changed and jaws dropped in surprise. They looked excited. In an instant, everyone was shouting. "Mr. Kay war, y-you're out of seclusion!"

"It's the patriarch of the Guo family."

"Mr. Kaywar has been in seclusion for more than 20 years and has never come out. I didn't expect him to come out today."

"Dad, y-you..." Maurice, with tears all over his face, looked at the old man in front of him, extremely excited.

The crowd burst into excited murmurs.

"Th-That's the patriarch of the Guo family, the founder of the Guo family, Mr. Kaywar!"

"It's said that he passed away 20 years ago. I didn't think he was still alive."

"More than 20 years ago, Mr. Kaywar was very close to the Half-Lord level. Now that he has secluded himself for such a long time, I wonder what the extent of his strength is.

"I didn't think this would happen. Mr. Kaywar has come out of seclusion. Now, the Guo family can be saved."
