The Devil's Cage

While Folly was facing the kick shadows that would soon drown him, he threw his sword out without hesitation like a flying knife. A dazzling glare emitted from the blade body as it was thrown out, causing the whole sword to shine brightly with a cold radiance; the sharp edge became even sharper, as if an ancient sword with blemishes had been polished delicately and had regained its shine.

Not only did it pierce Kieranʼs kick shadows, the flying sword was also locked onto Kieran.

The moment Folly threw his sword out, Kieran took a wise move and dodged a step aside after feeling the brightness of the sharp edge, but out of his expectation, the long sword altered its direction and followed Kieran again.

Kieran dodged once more as the flying sword chased him. It was still the same after a couple of dodge.

Folly was giving a continuous cold laugh when he saw Kieran dodging left and right.

”You never knew the true secret technique of the Viper sect…”

Chang!

Before Follyʼs mocking words could be finished, he was interrupted by a sharp sound similar to a longsword unsheathing.

A half-moon qi energy wave was fired out from Kieranʼs right leg, crashing hard onto the longsword that was giving the cold glare.

As the sharp edges collided, the cutting sound dispersed the half-moon qi wave and the longsword also fell to the ground after a shiver.

A clanking noise sounded ceaselessly as the sword fell on the ground and continued shivering.

However, the battle between both of them didnʼt cease following Folly losing his sword.

On the contrary, a sense of danger rose up from Kieranʼs heart; he felt like he had walked into a jungle filled with shrubs covering many hungry beasts behind.

Kieran trusted his battle instinct exceptionally; he gripped [Arrogant Word] and retreated a step back, staring right at Folly.

The military ministerʼs face was red and ferocious. It seemed like he was infuriated when his favorite technique was broken down, but Kieran, who had the upper hand, could smell sulphur around Folly. A faint one, but definitely there.

”What is this…”

Kieran squinted his eyes.

Maybe it was real that Folly tried really hard, but he was definitely not infuriated over the fact, but…

Without a second thought, Kieran swiftly retreated, and when he was less than 10 meters away from Folly.

KABOOOM!

A huge explosion happened.

As the deafening blast assaulted his ears, Kieran instinctively placed [Arrogant Word] before him

Fuuuuu!

3 to 4 meters of blazing waves spread out to all directions with Folly as the center. Kieran was the first one to bear the brunt and was engulfed by the flames.

The fiery flames were scorching hot; even the white marble ground was burnt black by that blast. Even more so at the spot where Folly was standing, the hard ground had even started to melt. Folly, who was in a fancy outfit, had turned into a raggedly-dressed man after the blast, falling to the ground painfully and panting roughly.

The technique that Folly used was not originated from the Viper sect, but it was one of the ultimate skills of the Raven sect. At the same time, it was also his ace card.

Folly believed no one could dodge his fiery blast, and even with corresponding defensive measures, one would be turn to crisp with that blast!

Folly raised his head at the firm dark red two-handed greatsword; he was eager to see the burnt corpse behind the blade. He forcefully dragged his weak body over, staggering as he walked to the blade.

Then…

He was stunned to a stop completely.
