Chapter 302 Your Power Is Mine Now
Roman shook his head and sighed softly.
“The legend of Jeff Ashcroft… has come to an end!”
In just over a year, Leander had accomplished countless feats that had shaken the entire martial world to its core.
He defeated two masters in the Pre–Transcendent Realm at Glidewing Mountain, slaughtered the Laughing Monk of West Ridge in the battle against the Silvermoon Sect, and single- handedly annihilated seven Arbitrators in a seven–against–one battle at the Waterfront Plaza in West Listin. He even brought the Umbral Court to their knees in Ravenridge, forcing the Lord of Umbral himself to come forward and apologize in person.
Each of these accomplishments alone was impossible for most people to achieve in their lifetime. But he had effortlessly amassed these heroic feats under his belt, earning him the indisputable title of the Blazing Comet of Astria.
His emergence had reignited the martial world of Astria, which had been stagnant and lifeless for many years. He had catapulted the martial world back into an era of chaos and turbulence. There was no denying that he was a true powerhouse who shaped the very era around him.
Unfortunately, his legend was now coming to an end…
The Crimson Wingstorm had bathed in the blood of countless enemies.
When Douglas first unleashed the technique forty years ago, he had claimed the lives of countless martial artists in Astria. Now that he was wielding the technique as a master in the Transcendent Realm, its destructive power had only grown more terrifying.
Although Leander managed to withstand Tsaric’s sacrificial sword strike at Hawksridge Summit, he was now facing a genuine master in the Transcendent Realm! Who could possibly bear the full force of such a master’s ultimate killing technique directly, with just their body?
At this moment, there were sixteen feathers lodged deeply in his back. They had clearly pierced through his skin, which meant… he had failed to block the attack.
The outcome of the battle was already decided.
The members of the Southern Wyvern Blade wailed in silent anguish, unwilling to accept the death of their leader. They had been training under Leander for the past month. Combined with the Devourer’s Flow, their cultivation had improved rapidly during this period.
In their hearts, he wasn’t just an instructor–he was a true mentor, deeply respected and cherished. Witnessing him fall right before their very eyes… It felt as though their hearts were being carved open by something sharp.
Meanwhile, Leander stood frozen in place above the river. Even after the storm gradually settled down, his gaze stared forward blankly as though he himself couldn’t believe that he had lost.
Drip…
A single drop of blood fell into the river, originating from the wounds on his back.
Douglas silently observed everything, a calm understanding flashing through his eyes.
“You’ve lost, Jeff Ashcroft.”
Standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, he was in no hurry to take Leander’s life.
“To tell you the truth, out of all the opponents I’ve faced in my life, you’re the only one who’s ever forced me to activate the second stage of the Crimson Wingstorm.
“That alone is something you should take pride in…”
He took a step forward and curled his fingers into a claw. His hand shot forward, innate vitality pulsing around the tips of his fingers as he lunged straight for Leander’s throat.
“Dying by my hand… is no dishonor to the Iron Sovereign’s name!”
At this moment, Leander had been struck by the sixteen feathers. Though these feathers had not torn him apart in midair, the deadly poison within them had already seeped deep into his organs.
His overwhelmingly powerful cultivation might prevent the toxins from killing him immediately, but his cultivation would still plummet drastically. Even at the least, he would be severely weakened. He was nothing more than a lamb waiting for slaughter at this moment.
Douglas was prepared to finish Leander in one decisive move,
“It seems that after today, the Tarlyn Guild shall reign over the world!”
Triston’s face brightened with excitement at those words. His heart raced with exhilaration.
Just as Douglas was about to close around Leander’s throat with his hand, a pale and slender hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“Huh?”
He froze in surprise. Though he attempted to break free, the hand around his wrist was as immovable as a mountain. It was completely unshakable. He could not shake off the iron grip, no matter how much innate vitality he circulated through his arm.
Shock filled his expression.
Leander should’ve been poisoned! How can he still possess such terrifying strength?!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He clearly took a direct hit from the second stage of the Crimson Wingstorm. His body should’ve been riddled with deadly poison… so how can he unleash such terrifying power?
And… his strength is even more refined and oppressive than my own innate vitality!
