Chapter 1606
Xavion was under house arrest as the information in his hand was closely related to the next generation
of communications technology. Whoever obtained the information would gain an edge over their competitors.
Although he was confined to a restricted space, his safety was guaranteed. Besides, he lived a rather comfortable life inside the
villa.
“This is the place.”
Gloom pointed to the villa before them and said, “Xavion is isolated from the rest of the world here.
Besides, he was sent here secretly by the King and has no interactions whatsoever with the outside world. Even if there’s an
apocalypse outside, there’s no way he’d know.”
“Mhm, I’ll go have a look.”
James nodded and headed in the direction of the villa.
As the villa seemed to be unguarded, he simply pushed the door open and walked right in.
Upon entering the villa, the tip of a sword was immediately pressed against his.
As the sword wielder moved at lightning speed, James did not manage to dodge in time.
“Legend, this is James.”
Gloom hurriedly made his way over to them and said, “The King sent me to take Xavion back.”
James looked at the sword wielder.
It was an elderly man around sixty years of age. He was short-haired, mustached, and had a slightly chubby face.
Wearing a grey suit, his expression was fierce and vicious.
Upon hearing Gloom’s words, he took a step back. However, his gaze remained fixed on James.
Although he was in Mascuoyae, he was well-informed about the news back home. There were simply too many rumors about
James.
As the Leader of the Yada Sect, he was naturally informed of James’ deeds.
Gloom introduced James to him, “James, this is Legend Xerxes, the Leader of the Yada Sect.
He’s one of the King’s most loyal subordinates.
The King was able to secure his position for so long not because of Mr. Gabriel and Lance’s assistance, but rather because of
Legend’s existence.
He’s a powerful martial artist who had crossed into the eighth rank.
However, he had always kept a low profile and seldom interacted with the outside world.”
“Mhm.” James nodded slightly.
Upon seeing Legend’s moves, James instantly knew he was not someone to be trifled with.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he should have been able to dodge with ease even if he was caught unaware.
“James, your reputation precedes you.” Looking at James with fire in his eyes, Legend said, “I wish I could spar with you.”
James smiled and said, “Though you’ve crossed into Celestial Raiser of the eighth rank, you only managed to press the tip of
your sword against my chest because I let my guard down.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t stand a chance against me.”
James was haughty. However, he was indeed powerful. A martial artist who had crossed into Celestial Raiser of the eighth rank
stood no chance against him.
Upon hearing this, Legend was displeased.
He said coldly, “What a bold claim. Since you came under the orders of the King, I have no choice but to step aside.
However, you can only take Xavion back today after you have defeated me!”
He brandished his sword, and invisible Sword Energy reverberated throughout the region.
Boom!
The door behind James immediately shattered into pieces. Meanwhile, the trees outside the building had been uprooted.
Though Legend demonstrated terrifying power even before the battle had begun, James only gave a faint smile. Looking at
Legend, he said smilingly, “Not bad.”
“We’ll fight somewhere else.”
As Legend spoke, he disappeared only to reappear in the air. Then, he swiftly flew toward the mountain. ranges behind the villa.
James followed close behind.
At that moment, in the mountain range..
Legend stood on a tree several meters in height, exuding a great aura that affected his surroundings as fallen leaves swirled
around his body.
James, meanwhile, was standing twenty meters away from him.
Looking at Legend, a grin crept up on his face.
Gloom hurriedly made his way here too.
He was curious to see how powerful James was.
As he was Legend’s disciple, he knew about his strength. Before the Spirit Turtle was slain, only a handful could defeat him.
Even though many powerful martial artists had emerged after the Spirit Turtle was slain, he was still nonetheless one of the most
powerful martial artists there was.
