Chapter 213 Crushed with One Blow
Winds roared across the lake, tearing at the surface. Three enormous waterspouts spun from different angles and locked Leander in.
The vortexes twisted tighter and faster, dragging in more water as they grew.
Taylor had built them from storm energy. The winds weren’t just violent–they were precise, sharpened like blades. And with each second, they pulled harder, swirling with crushing force.
If the storm kept building, even a Transcendent Realm expert would be trapped until Taylor’s energy ran dry. Anything caught inside would be torn to shreds.
“Taylor, your Typhoon Formation is crazy powerful,” Evelyn said, eyes gleaming with envy. “You can trap just about anyone. I wish I had that kind of ability p>
She meant it. Her fire was strong, but it came entirely from her own cultivation.
It couldn’t match Taylor’s raw elemental control. Evelyn could burn, but Taylor could dominate
nature.
Taylor said nothing. She simply shook her head. Her powers came with a cost. She had never spoken a word in her life. Her silence was the price of her gift.
“With Jeff sealed inside, he won’t be walking out in one piece,” Wayne said, nodding to the others. “If he survives it, he’ll still be too broken to fight. Once it clears, we take him back to the Office for judgment p>
The others nodded. They remembered what Leander had done to them. None of them wanted to face that again. Not unless he was already half–dead.
Is that really how it ends? Grace thought, her mind spinning.
She had just witnessed what made Jeff number one.
He had overwhelmed them with ease. And now he was gone, swallowed by water and wind. It felt impossible.
Jordan exhaled hard.
The knot in his chest finally loosened. Leander had crushed Henry’s cultivation and shamed the entire Barret family. Jordan had been terrified of what might happen next.
But now? Now he felt safe. Leander wasn’t coming back from this.
“You were strong, Jeff. But you’re not untouchable p>

Chapter 213 Crushed with One Blow
#Finished
His eyes narrowed as he turned to Yvette, Madeline, and Ginny.
They had come with Leander, and now they were alone. That made them fair game.
He stepped toward them, just as a thunderous blast ripped through the lake.
A single column of water shot into the sky, blasting out of the center of the storm.
The sound rocked the air like a cannon shot.
The lake trembled. The plaza shuddered beneath their feet. Water sprayed high enough to block the moonlight. The storm didn’t look so stable anymore.
A fierce red glow shimmered at the heart of the water column. It pulsed like something ancient had just awakened inside. Jordan narrowed his eyes, and all the color drained from his face.
The fire wrapped around the rising water wasn’t normal. It blazed with a divine rage, like it had fallen from the sky to scorch the earth clean.
Then everything exploded.
At thirty feet above the lake, the column split apart. A blast of fire tore free like a wild beast crashing through its cage. Golden flames ripped across the lake, swallowing the three giant water funnels in one furious sweep.
“What the hell was that? ”
The seven Arbitrators stumbled back. Their eyes locked on the fire, and unease spread across their faces. That heat wasn’t just powerful–it was terrifying.
Even Evelyn and Einhart, both masters of flame, felt the change in the air. They knew fire. But this wasn’t theirs. This fire felt ancient and alive.
Its
presence tore through the sky, and their own energy shrank from it like prey sensing a predator.
The heat grew stronger.
Steam roared from the surface of the lake. It shot into the air in towering white clouds. Three mushroom–shaped plumes formed over the water, each one trembling with pressure.
Then, right in the center of it all, Leander rose from the waves.
He stood balanced on the lake, calm and still, with a thread of golden fire swirling above his palm. It twisted upward in silence, burning hot and steady. “A metahuman, huh?” His voice was cold but casual. “Not bad. But you couldn’t hold me p>

He clenched his hand, and the fire vanished. His eyes turned to the seven waiting before him, sharp as a blade.
“He broke free?” Jordan whispered. His voice cracked. “What kind of fire is that p>
His thoughts scrambled. He had planned to strike Yvette and the others the moment Leander fell. But now he couldn’t move. His legs locked in place. Fear rooted him where he stood.
The Arbitrators didn’t speak. Taylor stared at the water, her brow furrowed tight. She knew her power better than anyone. Her Typhoon Formation was the strongest attack she had ever created. On water, she could summon water spouts.
On land, she could whip up tornadoes. In the desert, she could tear sand into storm walls. And today, for the first time, she had unleashed all three funnels at once.
It had drained her nearly to the edge.
And yet, Leander had destroyed everything with one move. It made no sense.
“I heard you burned Grayson’s Infinite Silken Trap with one strike back at Glidewing Mountain,” Wayne said slowly. “That’s the Flamebreaker, isn’t it?” Wayne asked.
Leander turned his head, lips curling into a faint grin.
“That’s right p>
His tone was flat, like he didn’t think much of it. But the look in his eyes carried a different weight. The smirk he wore said more than words.
“You’ve all had your fun,” he said. “Now it’s my turn p>
The lake erupted beneath him. Water shot upward as if a bomb had gone off under his feet. Waves slammed into the nearby boats, flipping several of them into the air.
Fauster stood in front, caught in the blast. Before he could even process what was happening, Leander’s fist came rushing straight at him.
His heart jumped. He brought Bloodmelt up to block, but it was too late.
Leander’s punch slammed into the side of the blade with a sharp metallic crash. His fist, smooth and pale like polished stone, smashed against the sword so hard that it warped the
steel.
Bloodmelt, backed by Fauster’s full inner strength, bent under the pressure like soft iron. Then the blade split with a harsh crack. The sound tore through the air.

Everyone watched in shock.

That blade had been forged from Europa blood diamond and five rare metals. It was known as one of the toughest weapons in the world. Breaking it with a single punch should have been impossible. And yet, it was gone.
Bloodmelt shattered in Leander’s fist, but the force didn’t stop there. Fauster grunted as blood burst from his mouth, and his body flew backward like a rag doll thrown by a hurricane.
But Leander was already on him. Before Fauster could land, Leander reached out and clamped a hand on his shoulder.
“I spared you that night,” Leander said, his voice low and hard. “But this time, you don’t get to walk away p>
Fauster turned his head and met Leander’s eyes. They were cold and steady, like ice that had never melted. His heart lurched, but before he could move, pain ripped through his body.
Leander’s fist, burning with gold flame, slammed into his abdomen. The blow punched straight through, and fire exploded inside him, racing through his organs, his bones, his breath. Everything burned.
The light faded from Fauster’s eyes. The fire surged out from the hole in his gut and crawled over his body until it consumed him entirely. Within seconds, his form collapsed into a stream of black smoke and vanished into the air.
“Fauster p>
All six remaining Arbitrators shouted together. Their voices rang with panic and fury, but beneath it all, there was something worse–raw fear.
Fauster had been one of them. He was strong, proud, and skilled. Yet Leander had killed him in seconds. No buildup. No struggle. Just a single move. That also meant one horrifying fact was real. Leander could take them out in the same fashion.
Leander didn’t move like a man who had just ended a life. He stood tall, calm, and cold, as if nothing had happened.
He looked at the rest of them and said, “He was the first. Now it’s your turn p>
His words hit like thunder. And for the first time, real terror gripped their hearts.
