Chapter 3786
"So this is Chester’s son, huh?" A faint voice emerged from the distance.
A silhouette of an attractive yet mysterious figure followed not long after. The man had other-worldly beauty written all over his face. Despite being gifted with godly features, he chose to wear a rather cold expression.
It was none other than Skylar Blanc himself.
Kendall and Neil retreated as soon as they read the situation. They rushed out of the battlefield in an instant, managing to land smoothly in spite of the sudden appearance of the man.
"W-Who are you?" Neil stuttered as he called out to the stranger.
As the standstill went on, the weight on Neil’s shoulder grew heavier. Skylar Blanc’s presence alone made the atmosphere itself palpable. He exuded an aura that could neither be matched nor understood.
"My name's Skylar Blanc! Everything that happened tonight was of my doing," Skylar exclaimed nonchalantly.
"So, you're the mastermind!" Neil barked sarcastically in a cocky tone.
He activated his internal energy and charged directly at Skylar with his long sword. He was not wasting another breath on small talk.
Skylar was not a foe like the others; he was a one-man army. Neil knew this but since his girlfriend was kidnapped, his hands were tied. He had no choice but to be reckless and face Skylar head-on. Noticing the threat posed by the incoming sword, Skylar smirked.
"Kid, just because your father is here, don’t expect any special treatment from me. Your lack of awareness of your incompetency is naive. How dare you try to show off in front of me?" Skylar said, his voice filled with contempt and disgust.
As soon as those words left his mouth, an intense aura erupted from his body.
Buzz!
In the next second, Skylar waved his right hand, blasting out a mass of energy enveloped in a shape of a palm — the Shadow Palm. As the palm trailed by, it devoured everything that stood in its way, leaving the path behind completely distorted. It was utter destruction!
In an instant, Neil's face turned grave. The frivolous expression he once carried disappeared. At once, he channeled all his internal energy into the spine of his sword, attempting to overpower the Shadow Palm.
"Neil, be careful!" Lucia shrieked, her voice strained upon seeing what was about to unfold.
Both forces faced head-on what was deemed to be a neck and neck battle. The anticipation was short-lived as Neil's blade shattered from the tip to the base like a shard of glass. The residual energy from the shadow Palm bombarded Neil's soulless body, slamming it back to the ground.
Thud!
Neil’s almost lifeless body could barely be seen lying flat on the ground as the wafting cloud of dust gradually filled the valley of evil.
The battle was already decided the moment he decided to retaliate.
"Neil!" Lucia screeched, her eyes blurry and tear-filled.
The sight of Neil’s incapacitated condition was just too heartbreaking for her.
Kendall, who was standing not far away, and the surrounding disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were quickly astonished. After taking a glimpse at Skylar's floating figure, it was long before he gained their respect and acknowledgment.
The Sect Master was really too powerful for today’s Nine Mainland. Other than Rogart, the envoy of the Nine Heaven Emperor, he was probably second to none.
