The crowd felt extremely tense.
A split moment later, Shane had already blocked Ashton’s escape.
He let out a brief chuckle. “Will you come quietly to assist with the investigation, or do we have to do this the hard way? Just so you know, if you force my hand, you’re going to end up being humiliated.
“As someone who’s supposed to be the future leader of the Legion, that would be a disaster. So, just stop resisting and come to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion with me.”
He added, “Of course, as a safety measure, I’ll have to seal your bloodline with my energy. You’re perfectly okay with that, right?”
Killing intent radiated from Shane’s body.
Ashton narrowed his eyes. Under the oppressive pressure of Shane’s otherworldly realm powers, his battle instincts and killing intent were both at their peak.
“Isn’t it ridiculous to arrest someone without evidence?” he snapped.
“Sorry,” Lifting his arm, Shane spat coldly. “This is just how the Heavenly Medical Pavilion operates.”
“Ebon Dragon Slash!”
Blood trickled down the corners of Ashton’s eyes. He condensed his energy into a massive black sword and swung it toward Shane.
The terrifying blade cascaded downward with an oppressive force. But to Ashton’s surprise, Shane’s defensive barrier had managed to block his attack entirely.
Streaks of energy dissipated into the air. Shane was unscathed, but a flicker of surprise flashed across
his eyes.
Staring at Ashton, he said regretfully, “You’re truly a prodigy, but you made a stupid mistake by angering the Heavenly Medical Pavilion. Now, come with me and let them decide your fate.”
As his words fell, Shane reached for Ashton’s neck and attempted to fully subdue him.
Dragon–like flames raged within Ashton’s eyes. This was his first time facing off against an otherworldly realm expert. Instead of feeling afraid, he was brimming with excitement.
He clenched his fist, and his veins twisted across his body as he pushed his powers to their absolute limit. While his organs reverberated and his cells ruptured one after another, he unleashed his strongest Sixfold Draconic Fist in sextuple bursts and drove it straight toward Shane.
The two forces collided with a deafening blast. Amid the smoke and energy that was scattered across the sky, Ashton’s body was hurled through the air. Blood sprayed from his wounds as he crashed heavily into the ground below. He was clearly no match for an otherworldly realm expert like Shane.

“Those in the otherworldly realm dictate the rules. This is not something a mere divine realm expert can contest! Your strength and lineage don’t matter, and burning yourself out changes nothing. No matter how hard you try, the outcome will always be the same.”
