Chapter 47: Chapter 47
To think that his name as a Heaven’s Chosen had spread throughout all the ancient clans of the Eastern Continent since childhood.
After reaching adulthood, Lowell had fought his way through the ancient clans, rarely meeting his match.
Among the disciples of the Eastern Continent’s ancient clans, upon hearing his name, how many would not feel fear? How many would not panic? How many would dare make an enemy of him?
Even if the person before him was a hidden peerless Heaven’s Chosen of an ancient clan, it was impossible for him not to have heard the name Lowell Ash.
Yet after declaring his identity, this Heaven’s Chosen showed a face full of disdain. This made him feel an immense humiliation.
Earlier, he simply had not wanted unexpected complications, so he had sought a peaceful resolution.
Now that the person before him was showing hostility, he had no choice but to capture him.
"Impudent! To dare humiliate me so, I will definitely capture and kill you!"
Lowell shouted loudly. No longer concealing his Great Grandmaster Realm aura, it surged majestically from his body, his hands transformed into eagle claws, with a faint ancient golden light continuously flowing within them.
Leaping through the air, with a few bounds he had already arrived above Adam’s head, aiming a claw strike to crush his skull.
Adam’s gaze narrowed slightly, a trace of astonishment appearing on his face.
Just what kind of power were these ancient clans, to be able to nurture such a young Great Grandmaster?
Furthermore, his aura was not the slightest bit weaker than Desolate Sword from the Sword Sect.
One had to remember that Desolate Sword was a peerless Sword Dao talent rarely seen in generations. His aptitude already crowned present-day Silver Willow, and almost no one in the entire nation could rival him.
Yet it had taken Desolate Sword a full century to cultivate to Great Grandmaster Perfection.
Although the person before him had only just stepped into the Great Grandmaster Realm, he was merely around twenty years old.
In terms of aptitude, this person was several points stronger than Desolate Sword.
The eagle claw had already arrived above Adam’s head, less than a few feet away.
The imposing momentum rushed at his face, yet Adam did not panic in the slightest.
An even more terrifying aura erupted from his body. Within a radius of three feet, a gorgeous curtain of light formed around him.
Exactly which ancient clan is hiding such a terrifying Heaven’s Chosen? Seeing Adam exude such a terrifying aura, Lowell’s eyes filled with shock.
However, seeing that Adam was not putting up much resistance, he sneered coldly in his heart.
So conceited! Does he think he can intimidate me with just his aura?
A trace of joy appeared on Lowell’s face. However, the moment he passed through the gorgeous curtain of light, his expression changed drastically.
His body felt as if it were being dragged by an invisible mighty force, and h entire form became somewhat sluggish.
The closer he got, the more severe the sluggishness became.
Dao rhythm continuously flowed in Adam’s eyes, and a practically tangible streak of Innate Sword Qi continuously solidified at his fingertips.
Now that he was a Great Grandmaster and his Time Domain had reached perfection, he could manipulate time within his domain.
Although the extent of his influence was not massive, merely a few seconds of time, in a battle between Great Grandmaster powerhouses, this brief amount was enough to determine victory or defeat.
At this moment, in Adam’s eyes, Lowell’s figure was moving incredibly slowly. Adam easily saw through his weaknesses.
Waving the Innate Sword Qi at his fingertips, he slashed fiercely toward Lowell.
Looking at this Innate Sword Qi containing such immense momentum, Lowell’s eyes were full of gravity, he frantically circulated his techniques to mount a defense.
However, his profound techniques, which normally circulated with extreme fluidity, now felt stagnant and delayed.
By the time the circulation was complete, the streak of Innate Sword Qi had already arrived right in front of him.
Unable to put up his defense in time, Lowell could only use his physical body to endure the Innate Sword Qi head-on.
"Boom!"
An intense shockwave of sword energy scattered in all directions. The surrounding boulders were instantly reduced to fragments.
With a loud crash, a figure was sent flying backward before smashing heavily into the trunk of a giant tree.
Lowell coughed up blood, his internal organs had already been churned to pieces by the intense Innate Sword Qi. He was clearly heavily injured.
However, Lowell did not care about his injuries. He stared fixedly at Adam, who was slowly descending from the high sky, his eyes full of incomprehension.
Even now, he could not understand why his profound techniques, which usually circulated so fluidly, had experienced that momentary stagnation.
Otherwise, with his strength, even if that Innate Sword Qi was incomparably tyrannical, his techniques would have been able to completely block it.
How could he have been forced to helplessly take the hit with his physical body?
Could it be that this Heaven’s Chosen can actually control the circulation of other people’s techniques?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could such bizarre methods exist in this world?
Lowell tossed this absurd thought to the back of his mind, feeling it was simply too ridiculous.
Watching Adam gradually approach, exuding terrifying killing intent from his entire body, Lowell’s eyes completely lost their composure. "You... you want to kill me?"
"We are already in a situation where one must die for the other to rest. Given today’s circumstances, do you think you can escape with your life?"
Adam had not expected this member of the Ancient Clan to be so naive.
After a life-and-death struggle like the one just now, did this ancient clan disciple actually still harbor the illusion that he would be spared out of ancient clan solidarity?
Hearing the naked killing intent in Adam’s words, Lowell completely panicked. "I am the number one Heaven’s Chosen of the Ancient Ash Clan! Although you are a hidden Heaven’s Chosen of an ancient clan, if you kill me, the entire Ancient Ash Clan will absolutely not let you off!"
"A hidden Heaven’s Chosen of an ancient clan? You say I’m a hidden Heaven’s Chosen of an ancient clan!"
