Maxwell’s aura flared, and he formed an invisible barrier that stopped Lawrence in his tracks. He had known the Jalunese swordsman would arrive. This was the final contingency, painstakingly planned with Flint.

Maxwell would see to it that Ashton died today. There was no way he would be allowed to leave Apex Arena alive.

If the Jalunese swordsman delivered the killing blow, the blame could be shifted without question. After all, this was a personal

vendetta between Ashton and the Jalunese Martial Association. His death would be entirely justified.

All that mattered now was stopping Lawrence, the only one who could get in the Jalunese swordsman, Kayden Griffin’s way. On the other hand, Ashton had nowhere to go.

Kayden’s swing unleashed a surge of raw sword energy, a wave of lethal killing intent that rolled across the arena. The semi- divine realm power behind it crashed down on Ashton from every direction, sealing off every escape.

It happened in a heartbeat, and everyone was caught off guard.

The Legion members, who had been cheering just moments ago, froze. Fury and killing intent radiated from them like fire.

Without hesitation, the Northern Troops drew their blades and charged straight toward Kayden. Anyone who stood in their way was an enemy.

At the same time, Ronan and Felix advanced. Leading a group of vanguards, they intercepted Neil, Kayla, and the others to hinder them from rescuing Ashton.

Ashton’s survival was a threat they could never ignore.

He had shown them what he was capable of in the earlier match, and that potential terrified them. If he continued to grow, he would become a serious threat to the Dominion Vanguard. He might even help the fallen Legion rise again.

“It’s over. There’s no time. Everyone from the Legion is blocked off, especially Mr. Clarkson Senior. He’s facing Maxwell, head of the Dominion Vanguard. Even in his prime, he might not break through that defense, let alone now.”

“Why? This is dishonorable. They’re just trying to kill Ashton here. Why would the Dominion Vanguard do this?”

“Dominion Vanguard and the Jalunese Martial Association have always worked together. They claim it’s for diplomacy, but who knows what deals are happening behind the scenes.”

“Stop talking nonsense! The main reason is that Ashton deserved it. Have you already forgotten he killed Cornelius? That’s a serious crime.

“The Jalunese Martial Association is right to come after him. The Dominion Vanguard is just trying to keep the situation from spiraling out of control. Every move they make is for Casoria.”

“Bullshit! How can you say that? I’ve never seen such shameless people.”

“The only mistake with those Jalunese bastards is not killing enough of them.”

A flash of sword light streaked across the field with the ringing clash of steel.

“World–Sunder Strike!” Kayden roared.

Killing intent flared in Ashton’s eyes. Dark energy swirled around him, coalescing into a black barrier before him. Shadowy,
