The Ex-Con Who Conquered the World novel Chapter 20

20 /50

"A Sixth-Rank Dark Sect cultivator?" Korbin's gaze darkened, a cold sneer curling his lips. "No wonder you dared to come to my Tiger Head Society. But with just this level of strength, you think you can pressure us? You're severely underestimating the Tiger Head Society!"

Whoosh!

As his words fell, Korbin suddenly leapt up, throwing a punch of his own.

Within his fist momentum was a powerful hidden force that erupted from his knuckles, meeting Janet's punch head-on.

Clearly, Korbin was also a Hidden Force Grandmaster, his rank no lower than Janet's.

Martial artists were divided into the Warrior Realm, the Hidden Sect Realm, and the Transformed Sect Realm.

Each realm had nine ranks.

The Warrior Realm referred to martial artists who could only use overt force. Once they converted overt force into hidden force, they advanced to become Hidden Force Grandmasters.

Above Hidden Force Grandmasters were Perfected Realm Grandmasters.

Perfected Realm Grandmasters were also called Great Grandmasters and held an extremely transcendent status within the Dragon Kingdom.

However, a Perfected Realm Grandmaster was only equivalent to the Meridian Opening realm among martial cultivators.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, Janet and Korbin had already exchanged several fierce blows. Each move was vicious, their hidden forces raging, causing the air to crackle with sonic booms.

Their strengths were close, evenly matched.

But Korbin had numbers on his side. The moment he moved, the black-clad men behind him immediately drew military knives, daggers, iron rods, and other weapons, swarming to surround and attack Janet.

Immediately after—

Clatter-clatter!

From the corridor outside the office came the sound of dense, rapid footsteps. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen black-clad men with fierce auras rushed in.

Judging by the energy they released, these men were clearly all Warrior Realm fighters who had developed overt force. Over a dozen of them united, wielding deadly weapons, made for a formidable fighting force.

As they charged in, some joined the fray while others surrounded the area where Nina and Stefan stood.

Janet, who had initially been able to fight Korbin to a standstill, found herself hard-pressed as more fighters joined the attack. She was forced to retreat step by step.
