In no time at all, the empire soldiers disguised as merchants were all down, some dead and some barely breathing.

Staggering out a few steps, Sword Dragon tried to stop Bruce, but his current condition was too bad that even walking seemed extremely hard: "Duolin, what are you still dawdling about!"

Duolin closed her beautiful eyes slightly and shook her head: "It's useless, sir, let's leave as soon as possible."

"What are you saying?"

"Our mission has failed, Bruce wouldn't have shown up without being prepared." Duolin was clear that even if they sent a distress signal now, it would be useless. Doing so might not only fail to keep Bruce at bay but might also expose their imperial identities.

Sword Dragon froze in place, this was a shame he could not erase from his life, "Bruce, from now on, it's a death struggle between you and me." Just before the teleportation started, Sword Dragon squeezed out his last words through gritted teeth, and with a flash of light, the two disappeared into thin air.

It took no effort to deal with a bunch of trash. Looking at the direction in which Sword Dragon and Duolin disappeared, Bruce finally stopped. They escaped, huh, no matter, this was expected. The empire wouldn't have sent two beings of this caliber on a mission without thinking of an escape plan.

"Luo'er, let's go." Bruce gave Feng Yi a glance and headed towards the blonde girl...

"Yay, Little BuBu is so cool." Karlo ran out of the bushes.

Wait, who's that? Bruce had only taken a few steps when he abruptly stopped, as he spotted the Blade Warrior.

Feeling his eyes on him, the Blade Warrior dropped his jaw, looked left and right, then pointed at his nose as if silently asking, are you talking to me?

Bruce answered him by action. He moved so fast that the Blade Warrior, Xiu Yi, and Red Ghost barely had time to react. He instantaneously had a lock on the Blade Warrior's throat: "Hand over the light crystal, if you don't want to die."

"Wait, let's talk it out, don't, don't do anything rash, haha, haha, haha, hic... don't be rough with a girl, okay?" The Blade Warrior quickly tried to charm him, but found Bruce's hand tightening around his neck.

Bruce coldly said, "Hand over the crystal, or wait for me to find it on your corpse. I won't repeat this a second time."

Meanwhile, Xiu Yi and Red Ghost had been completely petrified. The terrifying energy that Bruce was exuding was too much. They didn't dare to move, spellbound, as if they were in their worst nightmare. What level of horrific oppression was this?

"I think you should reconsider."

At these words, Bruce turned slightly and was taken aback to see Feng Yi holding his palm up to Karlo's neck, his head buzzed! How could he have done it without making any sound at all? Even he hadn't noticed. Suddenly, a terrifying word popped into his mind, a skill even he couldn't master: Stealth!

"What does big brother want to do? Could it be a declaration of love to Luo'er?"

"You can stay silent." Feng Yi pressed his palm a little harder against Luo'er's fair neck, causing her to wince in pain.

"Don't think Luo'er is easy to bully, I won't be defeated by big brother easily, huh, not going to let go?" Seeing Feng Yi unmoved, she let out a sigh and shook her head. A current surged from her light yellow clothes, sending a horrifying electromagnetic field through everyone nearby.

Szz...szz...szz...

However, not much change could be seen on Feng Yi after a few seconds, "Nice power, but it's a little weak."

He even intentionally twisted his neck, making a cracking sound. Regardless of whether her electromagnetic ability could break through the Storm Stance's vacuum defense, this small electric current couldn't harm him in the Legendary Realm.

Karlo sighed deeply, knowing that Feng Yi, as a Blood Iron Warrior, was not as harmless as he appeared: "Brother Feng is really strong, I surrender."

"Humph, I won't give up the light crystal."

Of course, Bruce would never give up on the light crystal. He came prepared today. Even if he got injured, he could use the teleportation to immediately get away. Both of them let go and moved in their separate directions...As they passed each other, before the spectators had a chance to react, the two were back at it, the air around them trembling. With a muffled bang, Bruce was shocked to find cracks on his arm guard after they clashed fists.

He could not imagine how destructive the black-armored warrior's arm, throbbing with lightning, could be. Just one strike had destroyed his arm guard. This hadn't happened in their last fight, had his opponent not used his full strength then, or was his realm unstable?

Since Feng Yi's destructive power was strong, Bruce decided not to give him the chance to showcase it. He met Feng Yi's approaching punch with an open palm.

Despite this, it was a feint. With the sound of the wind whistling, Feng Yi made a feint, turned, and responded with a sweep.

Smack...Bruce defended by raising his arm while simultaneously delivering a whirlwind uppercut to Feng Yi's face, his moves flowing seamlessly together.

Clang! There was a sharp sound in the air as the military knife blocked his attack. Hum hum hum hum...With a flick of his finger, the military knife danced over their heads as if it were alive and then instantly fell back into his hand. On receiving the military knife, he immediately pressed on with an upward slash.

Sword qi...feeling a sharp presence rushing towards his face, Bruce knew well that even without actual contact with the military knife, he could be injured by the sharp might. He bent backwards at his waist and took a grip on Feng Yi's wrist. Simultaneously, his thunderous punch thundered down.

Crack! Feng Yi pulled his hand back from the close contact, ready to deliver a blow to the face, but instead was sent flying by a more forceful slap from Bruce. The sound of the slapping wind echoed as both of them stopped, hovering in place. The sound of their palms clashing sounded like muffled thunder, rising in frequency and intensity, creating a reverberating tremor.

Crack! The dynamic and silent movements were completed simultaneously, and in an instant, a crisp sound echoed as both of them halted their actions. Their fingers tightly intertwined as their bodies vibrated violently. Red Ghost saw what they were doing and realised that they were competing against each other in the dark.

Boom...As an air wave swept out, mysteriously forming an isolated field around them that no one dared approach. The chilling might raised the sand and stones and shattered the soil around them within a meter radius, while their knees were entirely buried in the ground.

"Ha!" Bruce's face twisted in a grimace, and suddenly, a tangible golden light appeared around him, the strong energy field pushing everyone tens of meters away.

Crack, boom! With a clap of thunder, a dark storm infused with dark energy spread around Feng Yi. Although his strength hadn't fully recovered, it was enough to maintain his battle state.

The Storm Stance was more terrifying, and except for the Blade Warrior, the other three were directly blown away. Whoo...Luckily the Blade Warrior managed to protect Xiu Yi in time, as for Red Ghost, there was no need to worry, her strength was more than enough to resist the aura.
