The guardian's sword

"Haha. A dead man doesn't need to know so much!" One of the men in black sneered. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Their aura showed they were Grandmasters, and a stifling pressure enveloped the entire dead-end alley.

Sean raised his eyebrows and said flatly, "The killing intent you both exude is intense. Though Sky Sect is a martial arts sect, Dragon Kingdom's security has improved over the years. Even martial artists don't usually flaunt such heavy killing intent. In that case, you two seem to be from Darkness. I'm curious whether Blaze sent you here or if you took it upon yourselves to cause trouble for me."

The men in black's expressions changed subtly as a hint of surprise flickered in their eyes. Then, one of them sneered and said, nHaha, so what if you know we're from Darkness? You're going to die here today. Even if you've figured out our identities, no one will avenge you!"

Sean smiled and shook his head before saying flatly, "Let me guess again. Blaze is currently not in Janestown. He may not even be in Dragon Kingdom. Even if he knew how I beat up Max and Sky Sect yesterday, it's unlikely he would have sent you so quickly. It seems more likely that Max sent you. Blaze indulges his incompetent brother. He even handed over part of Darkness's authority to him."

Both men's pupils contracted. Despite never mentioning their identities, Sean had deduced their background and even the person who sent them.

"Judging by your reactions, it seems I guessed right again. Did Max not inform you that Grandmasters are no match for me? Yesterday, I sent Max and two Grandmasters from Sky Sect running in panic. Do you also want to experience the pain of shattered ribs or death?" Sean's tone turned much colder toward the end.

Both men's expressions darkened.

One of them said coldly, "Hmph! Don't compare US to those losers from Sky Sect! As a Grandmaster, I alone can kill three Grandmaster elders of Sky Sect!"

Although Sky Sect was renowned in Janestown and even Dragon Kingdom, it had seldom had the opportunity to do anything in recent years due to Dragon Kingdom's prohibition against martial arts disputes. Overtime, famous martial arts sects like Sky Sect, which should be able to surpass martial artists of the same realm, had increasingly weakened.

It was unknown what Darkness had been secretly up to over the years, but it undoubtedly had had plenty of opportunities to fight.

One had always been resting and pretty much retired, while the other was constantly engaged in combat, often teetering on the edge of death.

The difference in strength was evident. Even martial artists of the same realm from Darkness would find it effortless to eliminate members of Sky Sect.

"Really? It seems you're quite confident in yourself," Sean replied indifferently as he smirked.

Darkness' assassins said nothing and charged straight at Sean. As they approached, each drew a dagger. Though the daggers were only about dozens of centimeters long, the cold gleam on the blades spoke volumes about their sharpness and unusualness.
