Chapter 1474
Instantly, a slim thread of energy shot out from Fade''s fingertips towards the air.
Whenpared to the ominous Dark Cloudhill Strike above him, the thread of energy seemed
especially small and frail, as if it was insignificant. However, when it came into contact with
Raleigh''s Dark Cloudhill Strike, an astonishing thing happened.
The weighty pressure of the vital strike was cut right through by the thin thread of energy. It was torn
to shreds with a band, shattering in the air into vital droplets that rained down on Fade.
"This... How is it possible?"
"What on earth just happened? Why did Raleigh''s attack fail?"
"That Fade, what did he do?!"
Amidst the puzzlement of the crowd, Fade did not slow down. He took a stride forwards and waved
his right hand above his hand, then brought it down with a resounding p.
Right away, a film of menacing energy gathered and formed a huge palm in the air, which hurtled
towards Raleigh.
When he felt the oppressive force of the energy, he was at a loss. Shock infiltrated his gaze. "H-
How is this possible? What did you do?"
In a deep voice, Fade said, "I''ll let you have a taste of the true strength of a Martial Arts Master."
The enormous palm made its way downwards, as if it was a huge mountain cutting through the sky,
about to m down on Raleigh.
He had nowhere to hide or escape to. He quickly channeled energy in his arms and raised them in
an attempt to shield himself against the force.
However, the moment it made contact, Raleigh understood with a terrifying rity just how naive he
was. The ominous force was nowhere near anything he could withstand.
He had only previously seen such power from the old monsters of the top-tier hidden families.
At that moment, seeing Fade, such a young man, with that level of power, left him wide-eyed with
surprise. "Who on earth are you? Where did you get these powers?"
He was full of unanswered questions, and those questions would forever remain unanswered. He
was crushed by the enormous palm into a formless lump of flesh.
Fade had killed a Heaven Level master with just a
single move.
It was beyond everyone''s expectations. They all stared at him with their mouths agape, shocked to
the core and rooted to the spot.
Harold, who had just backed Moore into a corner, turned to look at the situation beside him. The
shock left him shivering. There was nothing but astonishment in his gaze. "How is this possible?
You killed Raleigh. That... That''s impossible-"
"Nothing''s impossible!" Fade echoed stonily, gesturing with a p towards Harold.
A terrible pressure suddenly loomed over him, whose face drained of blood. He turned, about to
flee.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
However, Fade raised his fingers and pointed at him, instantaneously locking him in ce with a
stream of energy. Harold had no choice but to remain there, awaiting death.
As Harold was about to shut his eyes in unadulterated despair, Moore, beside him, shouted, "Wait!
Let him live."
At thest second, Fade stopped in his tracks. He nced at Moore doubtfully.
He exined to Fade, "I have questions to ask him. Very important ones. So, I hope..."
When Fade heard that, he understood Moore''s line of thought right away. He probably wanted to
inquire about his wife and daughter. Thus, Fade waved his right hand and shifted the form of the
energy. The enormous palm in the air became a long and slim rope that bound Harold there.
Fade handed Harold to Moore, then swept a cool nce at Eamon and the rest. He asked icily, "Do
you guys want a taste of my power too?"
The people around them, who were previously on their high horses, were utterly dumbfounded at
that point. At Fade''s piercing gaze, they could not suppress involuntary shivers. They put their
hands up in the air and said, "No, no, we don''t. We''re leaving right now!"
Eamon and the group from the hidden family fled right there and then.
As they were leaving, their hearts were still filled with lingering fear.
"That guy''s powers are too terrifying. He definitely is at the Heaven Level, a Martial Arts Master."
"Not only that, with that strength, he must have reached the middle stages of the Heaven Level. He
might even be at the advanced stage!"
"He''s still in his twenties, yet he has such power! It''s frightening. Thank God we didn''t make any
move against him just now, otherwise, we might have been..."
At that thought, shivers ran down their spines. Eamon, who had been the most arrogant previously,
was the one cowering most in fear now.
Thinking of his argument with Fade earlier, sweat beaded on his forehead. The fear would not leave
him. His hatred for the Chiang family deepened at that moment.
"It''s all because of Harold and Raleigh! They told us they''d split the treasure, but in the end we were
just used as human shields!"
"Right! It''s clear for everyone to see that the Chiang family dragged us into their mess just to plot
against Moore!"
"We didn''t even get anything out of it! Not only that, we were nearly killed!"
"The story doesn''t end there. If the elders find out about this, they will be extremely unhappy."
Up to that thought, the members of the hidden family felt a growing resentment towards the Chiang
family, and they gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Ferguson, who had fled ahead of time, felt the remnants of the oppressive pressure behind him. He
heard the screams, and his heart shriveled with fear. He counted his blessings. Thank God he had
fled first, or else, he would have died there.
He increased his pace and began running with all his might, almost exhausting all of his energy.
At the Dragon Mausoleum, as all the members of the hidden family had retreated, the rest of the
martial artists breathed a sigh of relief.
However, their gazes were locked on Fade. Without his permission, they did not dare leave the
scene.
He gave a sweeping nce at the people around him, and spoke in a low voice, "You all can leave.
However, what happened today is to be kept to yourselves. Do you all get what I''m saying?"
"I understand! I''ll keep my mouth zipped!"
"Rest assured, Mr. Chen. I won''t reveal anything even if I''m on my deathbed!"
"You''re our savior, Mr Chen. We won''t turn against you!"
Hearing their responses, Fade nodded. "Alright, you all can leave."
Immediately, the martial artists left the scene. Even though a number of people had died, almost all
of the survivors had managed to infiltrate the Dragon Mausoleum and obtain its treasures. They
were overjoyed to be able to leave with the treasures in hand.
Taufeeq and ra, who were in the crowd, were dumbfounded. They nced at Fade with mixed
emotions.
They had underestimated Fade''s strength before. However, the power he disyed a few moments
ago was beyond anything they could ever have imagined. It was out of this world, in a realm they
could only look at but never reach.
