Chapter 182: Chapter 182 - Chaotic Body
Jack Schultz bitterly smiled and said, "The Schroeder Family’s power in Chuzzle is beyond your imagination."
"Indeed," Blair Blake nodded slightly.
"Tristin Schroeder’s father has been unrivaled in Chuzzle since ten years ago, and they are a large family with a long heritage."
"Three years ago, Tristin’s father retreated to practice in seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster level. Once he comes out, Mason Raymond, you might be in big trouble," Blair Blake added.
"Grandmaster..." I muttered softly.
That’s the same level as Roberts Joshua.
With my current strength, if I encountered Roberts Joshua, I wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Grandmaster is still a bit troublesome," I rubbed my forehead.
But by now, there was no way for me to turn back.
Remembering the text message from Mabel Sean, I felt full of motivation.
Then, I drove to send Jack Schultz and Blair Blake home.
Halfway through the journey, the temperature around us suddenly dropped.
It was early autumn, but it felt like freezing winter.
Jack Schultz couldn’t help but shiver, "It’s so cold."
Even Blair Blake, a martial artist himself, felt chills.
"It’s finally here," I parked the car on the side.
Upon looking closely, I saw Mateo Ward standing in front of us.
He stood with his hands behind his back, eyes slightly closed, looking no different from an ordinary old man.
But the murderous spirit emanating from him was unprecedentedly strong!
"As expected, he’s waiting for me here," my eyes narrowed.
"Master Ward? Why is he here?" Jack’s brows furrowed.
I didn’t respond. Not only did I not hit the brakes, but I also stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards Mateo Ward!
Jack in the car immediately panicked, "Mason, what are you doing?! Stop the car!"
But I paid no heed, as the car sped towards Mateo Ward!
"Mason, have you gone mad?! Mateo is my good friend! Do you want to cause a death over this?!" Jack yelled in panic!
I still ignored him. Finally, the car violently crashed into Mateo Ward!
A loud "clang" sound echoed!
The car halted abruptly!
The impact was so massive that even the car’s airbags exploded!
Looking up, we saw Mateo Ward’s claw-like hands pressing against the car hood!
The car’s hood was crushed, but Mateo Ward was unscathed!
"How... How is this possible?!" Jack couldn’t care less about the pain in his forehead, staring at Mateo Ward in shock outside the car!
I glanced at Jack and said coldly, "I told you, this Mateo Ward is probably not the one you know."
Jack wanted to say something, but I stopped him with a gesture.
"You both stay in the car. No matter what happens, don’t get out," I instructed.
At this point, Blair also realized something was off-kilter.
He hurriedly said, "Mr. Raymond, let me go down with you."
"No need," I waved my hand.
"With your strength, you’ll just hold me back."
Blair Blake was stunned, then forced a bitter smile.
He didn’t know when it started, but he was no longer on the same level as me.
After getting out of the car, I looked at Mateo Ward.
"You must have been waiting for quite some time," I calmly gazed at Mateo Ward.
With his hands still behind his back, Mateo Ward said indifferently, "Hand over the bronze sword and the stone statue, and I will spare your life."
"You think you can avoid death?" I raised an eyebrow, "With that body of yours?"
Mateo Ward’s eyes flashed with surprise, and then he burst into laughter, "I have really underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to be able to see it!"
"Speak, who are you?" I asked coldly.
"And where has the real Mateo Ward gone?"
Mateo Ward squinted, "You’re just a dying man, do I need to tell you?"
"Is that so?" My face grew cold, and a strong aura suddenly burst from my body!
Surrounding sand and stones were instantly swept away, and even the nearby trees shook slightly!
However, this Mateo Ward remained calm and was not affected at all.
"You’re just an Inner Strength Master, and yet you dare to be insolent in front of me," Mateo Ward said coldly.
"When I was roaming the martial world, you probably weren’t even playing in the mud!"
As soon as the words fell, Mateo Ward’s palm reached for me!
Fingers surrounded by black mist turned as tough as daggers in an instant!
"Good, I can use you to test this body." I raised my fist and confronted him head-on!
"You’re courting death!" Mateo Ward’s expression turned cold as he turned his fingers into a palm, seizing my fist!
Next, bursts of black qi erupted from Mateo Ward’s palm, seemingly about to envelop my entire body!
"Hmm?" I suddenly felt an icy chill all over my body! I couldn’t move at all!
Mateo Ward sneered, "You ignorant brat, this is dark energy, it can suppress all Inner Strength! Once encased by the dark energy within my body, your Inner Strength will be crippled! At that time, you’ll probably become a useless person!"
"As I suspected!" My face turned cold.
"You come from a sect in the southwest, don’t you?" I asked coldly.
Mateo Ward laughed loudly, "You do know quite a bit! It’s just a pity that you’re about to die!"
After finishing his words, the dark energy around Mateo Ward grew stronger, almost enveloping my entire body!
"Go to hell!" Mateo Ward’s eyes flashed with madness, his body full of dark energy, seemingly wanting to devour my body!
However, at that moment!
The black qi around my body began to slowly dissipate!
Mateo Ward’s pupils contracted sharply, and he frowned, "What’s going on?"
Not knowing the reason, Mateo Ward released dark energy once again!
But after spreading for a moment, the dark energy began to disappear once again!
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Mateo Ward’s face suddenly changed!
To his amazement, my body was actually actively absorbing the dark energy!
"How is this possible?" Mateo Ward’s face changed drastically, and he quickly let go, retreating backward!
The dark energy around me gradually disappeared, completely absorbed by my body!
"That feels amazing!" I opened my eyes, exhaling in relief!
Then, I looked at Mateo Ward and sneered, "Thank you for your generous gift, as a token of gratitude, I’ll make your death quick."
Mateo Ward’s face turned somewhat ugly, and he stared coldly at me, "You’re actually cultivating with dark energy? Who on earth are you?"
I shook my head and sneered, "Not only can I cultivate with dark energy, but I can also cultivate with qi and Inner Strength. Didn’t expect that, did you?"
Upon hearing these words, Mateo Ward’s face suddenly changed!
"You... you’re a chaotic body?" Mateo Ward screamed in shock!
"Chaotic body?" I raised an eyebrow, and somewhat curiously said, "What is that?"
Mateo Ward ignored me, staring at me with a look of shock on his face!
"Boy, if you can’t be of use to me, I’ll have to kill you, otherwise, no one will be able to stop you in the future!" Mateo Ward’s dark energy surged, murder filling his pupils!
I frowned, "You still haven’t told me what a chaotic body is."
"You will have no chance to know, go to hell and ask Yama!" Mateo Ward roared madly!
