'Upper stage Foundation Establishmt Realm?' Sam raised an eyebrow, surprised that Julian's cultivation was higher than his own.
"Laugh all you want, but you're dying today," Julian declared with a sinister grin. He moved with an unnatural speed, clearly beyond that of any human, and launched a powerful punch toward Sam.
Sam ssed the impding danger and instinctively crossed his arms to block the attack. Upon impact, Julian's fist struck Sam's arms, sding him flying through the air until he harshly crashed into a wall, leaving a noticeable crack behind.
Sam gritted his teeth against the pain. "Arg..."
Julian approached Sam confidtly, his malevolt grin widing as he held a sword in his hand. "See this? It's a sword I stole from my father... and I'm going to use it to chop you into a thousand pieces."
Sam regarded Julian and his three underlings with an air of indifferce, unfazed by
their smug expressions as if they had already won the battle.
"Do you really think you can kill me?" Sam questioned, his tone dripping with confidce.
Without warning, Sam's hands transformed into fearsome dragon claws, and he lunged at Julian with a lethal killing intt.
'He's fast,' Julian noted, his eyes narrowing in response. He quickly raised his stol sword, ready to strike down Sam as he closed in.
The clash betwe the two was met with a resounding sound of metal meeting metal.
Julian was tak aback, astonished that Sam had caught his sword with his bare hand.
His gaze darted to Sam's clawed fingers, a mixture of disbelief and fear overtaking his features.
"What the fuck are you?" Julian stammered, desperation creeping into his voice.
He attempted to exert more strgth to free his sword from Sam's grasp, intding to slice off Sam's hand if necessary.
However, no matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't budge the sword from Sam's powerful grip. Frustration gnawed at him as he tried to retreat, only to find that he couldn't pull his sword away.
"You... You bastard, let go!" Julian grunted, veins bulging in his neck as he strained against Sam's unyielding hold.
Sam's lips curled into a predatory grin. "You know, I don't have a sword yet... so I'll take yours." With that, Sam raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to Julian's chest.
Sam's powerful kick st Julian flying across the room, crashing into a wall that cracked and crumbled on impact. Dust and debris filled the air as the whole place shook from the sheer force of the blow.
Julian struggled to catch his breath, trying to regain his composure after that devastating kick. His sword, now in Sam's hands, caught the latter's interest.
Sam examined the bronze-colored sword with a raised eyebrow. "Huh, just an Ordinary-grade sword?... Well, it'll do for now."
Julian panted heavily, still in disbelief that he had be defeated by someone who was two minor realms below him. "Give me my sword back"
Fear crept into Julian's heart, a chilling realization settling in. He had never anticipated that Sam would prove to be so overwhelmingly powerful, far surpassing his own expectations and assumptions.
The reason behind Sam's superior strgth compared to Julian was pretty straightforward. Julian could only harness one type of Qi in his cultivation, whereas Sam had mastered the art of cultivating with t differt types of Qi.
This gave Sam a substantial advantage, making him notably more powerful than anyone else in the same realm as him. Sam could take on opponts in the same major realm, no matter which minor stage they were at within that realm.
Sam chuckled mockingly. "Give it back to you? Why would a dead guy need a sword?"
With lightning speed, Sam closed the gap betwe them and grabbed Julian by the collar, effortlessly lifting him off the g.
He tighted his grip, his voice low and macing "You thought you could take me down with stol weapons?"
Sam's eyes bore into Julian's with a cold as it turned bright red, unforgiving gaze."You underestimate me."
In the midst of the heated confrontation, Sam couldn't contain his rage any longer.
He seized Julian, hurling him to the g with a vgeance, as if discarding the trash into the deepest abyss, and th mercilessly stomped on his leg. Sam's eyes blazed with anger, mirroring the disgust he felt.
"Arg...Stop...Stop it," Julian cried out in agony, clutching desperately at Sam's leg. In his desperation, Julian ev attempted to retaliate, trying to break free from Sam's reltless grip. But Sam remained unmoved, a wicked smile curling on his lips.
"Yeah, yeah, I will stop," Sam taunted, his smile bearing a sinister edge. He raised his leg, the very one that had mercilessly crushed Julian's leg. Just wh Julian thought the tormt might finally d, his eyes wided with terror as he felt a searing pain in his right hand.
"This is the hand that drove the knife through my chest, right?" Sam sneered, his leg descding with brutal force onto Julian's right arm.
STOMP!!
STOMP!!
SMASH!!
Sam continued his assault, reltless and unyielding, disregarding the location of his strikes, and focusing solely on inflicting pain.
"Stop this...."
"This is ough...."
"...We are sorry... You are going too far."
The pleas of Julian's frids fell on deaf ears. Sam was beyond reason; he wanted to exact his revge, to make them suffer as he had.
Without warning, Sam moved swiftly, his new sword flashing through the air as he sliced Julian's head horizontally, severing it from his body.
Julian's frids watched in sheer horror, especially Jack, who had already dured a traumatic counter with Sam.
Before they could utter a single word, Sam advanced upon them, one by one, swiftly decapitating them with a cold and calculated demeanor.
As the headless bodies crumpled to the g, Sam remained unfazed, devoid of remorse or guilt. In his eyes, they had provoked him first, and he was merely returning the favor with a vgeance.
As he gazed at them, a sse of inadequacy washed over him. He took in a deep breath, puffing up his stomach, and th exhaled a scorching stream of flames from his mouth.
Turning his head, he incinerated everything in front of him within the house. He th directed his fiery gaze towards the headless bodies, leaving only Julian's untouched.
As the flames consumed everything, the house burned ev more intsely. With a contemplative look at Julian's headless body, he activated his innate ability, known as "Devour."
Innate abilities were a peculiar gift, unique to each person, with origins still shrouded in mystery. Not everyone could awak tham.
There existed no clear hierarchy or grading system for these innate abilities. Their bestowal was tirely arbitrary, and whether one received a beficial or detrimtal ability was a matter of pure chance.
A crimson vortex of ergy materialized, drawing the headless body into its depths.
This extraordinary ability allowed him to absorb anything – be it living creatures, plants, or animals. Yes, that included humans. And from these absorptions, he gained all their inhert befits.
And by "everything," I mean absolutely everything. For instance, by absorbing Julian, he could take in his cultivation, his bloodline, his spirit vein, and ev his divine power, excluding his innate ability.
However, at this momt, he chose to absorb only Julian's cultivation. With this infusion, Sam's own cultivation surged, propelling him through one minor realm with ease.
