Just moments ago, they had planned to drive Leander out of Tardide Valley and head straight to Ravenridge to seek help from Jeff. Yet, the Shadow had come far sooner than they’d expected.
“He’s here. The Shadow is here p>
Brittany’s expression turned grim. Even the seven–foot–tall man, Tyler, trembled in fear.
As they witnessed the native villagers fleeing like frantic animals, they felt a chill run up their spines.
In the midst of terror, a plume of black smoke erupted from the crowd. In an instant, the bodies of four or five villagers were reduced to mere bones, their flesh corroded and blood vanishing.
Screams of terror filled the air as people scattered in all directions. Then, emerging from the chaos, a figure cloaked in black slowly stepped forward with an object in his hand.
His face was ghastly pale like a corpse or a skeleton. His hands were hidden within his robe, with only a few withered fingers visible, and his eyes were filled with a gloomy darkness.
As if fleeing a plague, everyone shrank away. Brittany’s mother, who stood protectively over Sierra, backed away in terror until they were both huddled beside Brittany. They barely made a sound,
The black–robed man approached, stopping only a few feet away from them. Then, slowly and deliberately, he tossed the object to the ground.
A jade token. Brittany and Levi immediately recognized it. It belonged to the Grand Elder of The Demise.
The Grand Elder had once said, “As long as this jade remains intact, so do I.” Yet now, this token was in the hands of the black–robed man. A cold dread settled over them.
“You two must be Levi Huxley and Brittany Potter, right? The so–called future of The Demise,” the man sneered as he pulled back his hood to reveal a grotesque, twisted face.
“I expect The Demise to have made some progress after thirty years. But I’m disappointed. The elders are as weak as ever, and the younger generation is no better. It seems I was meant to destroy The Demise and Tardide Valley today p>

Brittany recoiled, her eyes wide with fear. “You… You’re the Shadow p>
She had heard his name whispered in fear for over a decade, but never in her wildest nightmares had she thought she would face this demon in person.
“Hehe!” The Shadow let out a sinister laugh, his body emanating a chilling and malevolent aura.
“Kids, what makes you think you can call me by my name p>
The Shadow clenched his fist, and behind him, countless venomous insects wriggled, radiating a sense of bloody evil.
His gaze swept over the terrified villagers of Tardide Valley, and let out a booming laugh.
“This valley should have belonged to me thirty years ago! Each of you should be my slave! After all these years, your king has returned. Aren’t you happy? Haha p>
His voice rang out, laced with a power that sent waves of terror rippling through the crowd. Many clutched their ears, while the elders valley collapsed in despair when recognized the demon who nearly turned their homes into a living hell.
Just moments ago, the Shadow stormed The Demise and slaughtered all the Five Grand Elders. Even the Grand Elder had fallen to his hand with a single blow. Without a doubt, today was the darkest day in Tardide Valley’s history.
Brittany and Levi, the top disciples of The Demise, stood frozen in disbelief. They had seen the flames rising from The Demise’s sacred ground. And now, with the grand elder’s token in his possession, there could be no doubt that the masters were all dead.
A shiver ran down Brittany’s spine. At that moment, she truly understood why the Shadow had haunted the nightmares of Tardide Valley for thirty long years.
He’s a demon, a monster who feeds on destruction and death.
“Years ago, the Demise wounded me, and you villagers cast me out of Tardide Valley. Did you think I’d be gone forever? By the end of today, not a single soul in Tardide Valley will be spared p>
His words were met with cries of anguish from the villagers. Outside Leander’s courtyard, the villagers‘ faces wore the same expression of hopeless despair.
Sienna huddled closer to her mother, trembling as she recalled the scene of her childhood friend being drained to death by the Shadow’s poisonous worm.
However, Leander remained entirely focused on tending to his Silverleaf. It was as if the horror unfolding outside had nothing to do with him.

All eyes turned to Brittany and Levi, the final hope for the valley. As the top disciples of The Demise, they were the only ones who might have a chance at stopping the Shadow, but the two stood paralyzed in fear, unable to process the carnage before them.
Is this real? Are the Grand Elders dead in the hands of the Shadow?
The Shadow sneered as he looked over the two.
“Judging by your strength, you’re not far from surpassing those useless old fools. The strongest of the younger generation, I assume p>
He licked his lips as his eyes gleamed with malicious hunger.
“Intermediate Grandmaster and Novice Grandmaster. You’re not exactly extraordinary, but your blood will do well. You’ll help me on my journey to become the God of Blood Shadow.
Haha p>
His laughter was deafening, the power within it causing the ground to tremble. Brittany and Levi were the first to feel its effects, their insides churning with rage from his energy.
Though they were the top disciples of The Demise, the Shadow had been invincible for thirty years. Now, with three more decades of cultivation, his power was terrifying beyond belief. He’d even killed the Grand Elder. We don’t stand a chance.
As Levi and Brittany retreated in fear, a long, piercing shout echoed through the air.
“Shadow, don’t be so arrogant p>
Brittany and Levi’s faces lit up with joy as they heard the voice. They turned to see a white- haired elder flying toward them, launching a palm strike at the Shadow.
At the same time, the villagers of Tardide Valley cheered in delight.
“Elder Turia p>
The old man who had appeared was Wyle Turia, one of The Demise’s Five Grand Elders.
“Wyle Turia, I spared your life. How dare you show yourself again? Die p>
The Shadow smirked as he met the elder’s strike with a casual wave of his hand.
Their arms collided, and a formless energy surged outward, sending dust and dirt flying. In the next moment, everyone’s faces froze.
Wyle’s body trembled. His left arm snapped with a sickening crack. The sound of breaking bones echoed through the air.

He let out a pained scream as he was sent flying backward several meters before crashing into a large rock. He was instantly gravely injured.
The villagers of Tardide Valley turned pale with fear. They had hoped that Wyle’s arrival would at least buy them time to escape.
But the Shadow’s strike crushed all their hopes.
Despair swept through the crowd, including Brittany and Levi.
“Wyle, thirty years ago you took part in the siege against me. Today, I’ll send you to death p>
The Shadow stretched out his skeletal hand and walked toward Wyle.
As Brittany saw the pale, withered hand, she gasped in horror. Even Elder Turia couldn’t withstand a single blow. Is there anyone left in Tardide Valley who could defeat him? Is there anyone who can save
us?
Suddenly, a name came to her.
“Shadow, you’d better be careful!” Brittany’s mind raced as she forced herself to stay calm. “Someone who can defeat you is on the way. He’ll be here soon. If you cross paths with him, you’ll surely die p>
The Shadow paused, raising an eyebrow. “Oh? And who might that be p>
He sneered. “I’d like to see who could possibly kill me even after I’ve destroyed The Demise p>
Brittany clenched her fists, her heart pounding as she blurted out the name.
“Jeff Ashcroft p>
As soon as she said that, Levi, Tyler, and even the gravely injured Wyle were stunned.
Shadow’s expression shifted subtly. For the first time, a flicker of fear broke through the impassive mask on his face.
“Are you talking about the young Martial Sovereign of Astria’s martial world, Jeff Ashcroft p>
A trace of apprehension crept into his eyes. Jeff’s name carried too much weight in Mornwick, and his reputation had spread far and wide across the martial world of Astria.
He was no ordinary figure. He was a true Martial Sovereign, a man who had killed the Mason with a single punch. Though Shadow believed in his ability, he was fully aware that he was no match for Jeff.

“The Demise managed to get Jeff involved?” he muttered, and his actions finally paused.

“Of course! A day ago, our men went to Ravenridge to seek help from Jeff!” Brittany, who struggled to maintain her composure, forced herself to sound confident. “He’s on his way. If you dare kill us, he won’t let you escape p>
Witnessing Brittany’s bold bluff, Levi and the others could only hold their breath, not daring to say a word.
At this moment, all they could do was hope that Jeff’s mighty reputation would be enough to scare the Shadow away.
The Shadow stood frozen, his expression shifting slightly. Seeing this, Brittany felt a surge of hope, believing her ruse had worked and that the Shadow would retreat out of fear. Newest update provided by.net
Yet just then, the Shadow’s lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Jeff? So what? Even if I can’t defeat him right now, I could kill all of you and vanish without a trace. He’ll never find me.
“Once I drain your blood and perfect the God of Blood Shadow, I’ll be powerful enough to defeat even Jeff. What’s there to fear p>
His confidence radiated from his face, his ambitions swelling with the power he sought.
Brittany’s face went pale. She had been sure her plan would succeed, but she had never expected the Shadow to be so utterly confident in his strength.
Just as the Shadow prepared to act, a light laugh echoed from the side, laced with disdain and mockery.
The Shadow’s gaze snapped to the source of the sound, where he saw Leander calmly watering the plants in the courtyard. Everyone else turned their eyes to him as well.
Sienna covered her lips with a hand as panic was written all over her face.
Everyone has seen the Shadow’s terrifying power. Yet, Leander dared to laugh?
“Kid, what’s so funny?” The Shadow narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering in them.
“I’m laughing at my own business, while you’re busy killing your people. What’s that got to do
with me p>
Leander replied with a faint smile, showing no trace of fear despite facing the infamous and powerful Shadow. He merely lowered his head and continued watering the plants.
He couldn’t contain his laughter because the Shadow had boasted about becoming powerful

enough to defeat him after completing the God of Blood Shadow. Leander found it amusing, knowing that no matter how strong the Shadow became, he would still be no more than a tiny ant in his eyes.
The Shadow found Leander’s apparent lack of fear interesting. He stepped closer, and his gaze fell on the rows of seedlings in front of Leander. His eyes lit up.
Though he didn’t recognize the plants, his cultivation in the God of Blood Shadow granted him a sensitivity to energies. From these seemingly ordinary seedlings, he could sense a powerful spiritual energy.
“Kid, I should’ve killed you with that attitude of yours. But I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll be merciful and spare you!
“But I’ll take these plants. If you want to live, get out of my sight p>
This guy exhibited no trace of internal energy. He’s nothing. Killing nor sparing him would make no difference.
All he wanted was the Silverleaf. He had no urgency in killing the others. With a simple wave of his hand, he could release thousands of poisonous worms to dissolve them into blood and pus.
“Oh p>
Leander paused at his words. He put down his watering can and looked up at the sky. After a moment, he shook his head.
“In this world, there exist people who think they’re invincible. They’re utterly blind to their weakness p>
He turned and met the Shadow’s gaze. He began walking slowly toward the courtyard’s exit.
“This is supposed to be a conflict between you, The Demise, and Tardide Valley. It had nothing to do with me. You could’ve killed your people and left. But unfortunately, you set your sights on these plants p>
As Leander spoke, he stepped out of the courtyard. He now stood face–to–face with the Shadow. His eyes flashed with killing intent.
“I’ll
