Chapter 665: Chapter 665 Clearing The Way
Spotting this old man, Phoebe Billy felt a sudden surge of hope!
Below on the street.
Of course, Gaile Whitman picked up on the strange vibe too.
He released me and spun around to look back.
An elderly man stood at the street’s far end, just waiting there quietly.
Though he looked fragile, his presence packed serious power!
Rain soaked through his clothes, making him look like any old country farmer.
Gaile Whitman squinted at the old man and said coldly, "Paul Randall?"
The newcomer was Paul Randall! He stared at Gaile Whitman without a word, then started walking forward step by step!
Paul Randall showing up out of nowhere made Gaile Whitman’s expression turn sour.
Before long, Paul Randall stopped right in front of Gaile Whitman.
They locked eyes, and the air turned thick with tension.
Next to Gaile Whitman’s tall frame, Paul Randall looked pretty short.
But the energy rolling off him matched Gaile Whitman’s power completely!
"Paul Randall, what brings you here?" Gaile Whitman asked, eyes still narrowed.
Paul Randall pointed at me lying on the ground and said, "I came for him."
Gaile Whitman let out a harsh laugh, "Paul Randall, didn’t you already step back from all this? What, having second thoughts now?"
Paul Randall waved his hand slowly and said, "That’s none of your business."
Gaile Whitman burst into laughter, "Paul Randall! Way back when, you went up against the Capital City Martial Arts Association, swearing you’d change everything. How’d that work out for you?"
"You know damn well that no single person can shake the Capital City Martial Arts Association. Even now, are you still too stubborn to get it?"
Paul Randall stayed completely cool in the face of Gaile Whitman’s accusations.
He glanced down at me and then smiled, "What I couldn’t pull off back then, he might be able to. I see real hope in him."
"Hope?" Gaile Whitman narrowed his eyes and scoffed, "I knew you hadn’t given up your scheming ways! The Capital City Martial Arts Association should’ve finished you off years ago!"
Paul Randall waved his hand, clearly not wanting to dig up old history.
He just pointed at me on the ground and said, "He can definitely make it happen."
"Make it happen? Ha, so you’re planning to take him with you?" Gaile Whitman asked, eyes still slitted.
Paul Randall shook his head and said, "No, for him to finish what he started, you need to die."
You need to die!
Just three simple words, but they sent chills down everyone’s spine!
Gaile Whitman actually took a step back, saying coldly, "Paul Randall, you know what happens when you attack someone wearing purple robes! You really want to throw away your quiet life?"
Paul Randall couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh, saying, "That failure back then crushed me, and I went into hiding for years. I figured I’d just coast through whatever time I had left... until I saw Mason Raymond."
"Looking at him brought back memories of my younger self. Going into hiding like that made me feel like a coward," Paul Randall said with regret.
"Maybe I can’t take on the Capital City Martial Arts Association anymore, but clearing a path for him? That I can still do."
Gaile Whitman’s face went white! He glared at Paul Randall and said, "Paul Randall, do you have any idea what you’re doing? If you touch me today, you’ll definitely wish you hadn’t!"
Paul Randall looked at Whitman and said slowly, "If I don’t do this now, I’ll regret it way more."
The moment those words left his mouth, Paul Randall’s whole vibe shifted dramatically!
His kind face instantly turned deadly! In the blink of an eye, he seemed like a completely different person!
Even Gaile Whitman felt his heart skip a beat facing such overwhelming presence!
Staring furiously at Paul Randall, Whitman said, "Paul Randall! You think I’m scared? We’ll see who comes out on top!"
As he spoke, Gaile Whitman’s hand started gathering the Annihilation formula again!
Crushing force exploded outward instantly!
Facing Gaile Whitman’s Annihilation formula, Paul Randall slowly raised his hand too.
In his palm, a "Fight" character began taking shape!
Its terrifying power completely outclassed the Annihilation formula!
"Go to hell!" Gaile Whitman yelled and immediately launched the Annihilation formula!
Paul Randall also pushed forward gently with his palm, and the two massive characters crashed together, creating a horrifying shockwave!
The second the Annihilation formula made contact, it started falling apart fast.
In ten seconds flat, the Annihilation formula had completely disappeared.
The Fight character slammed hard into Gaile Whitman, making him stumble backward while coughing up blood!
"Your so-called Annihilation formula is just a cheap knockoff. It’s no match for the Nine Secrets," Paul Randall said casually with his hands behind his back.
Gaile Whitman’s face looked absolutely terrible, because he knew exactly what technique Paul Randall was using!
These were the legendary Nine Secrets of Taoism!
Even though Paul Randall had only shown a tiny bit, the power couldn’t even compare to the Eighteenth Words formula!
"Paul Randall, you can still back down right now!" Gaile Whitman shouted angrily.
Paul Randall shook his head: "Once you make a move, there’s no going back. You should understand that better than anyone."
Gaile Whitman thought to himself, Paul Randall, who everyone called the top expert, was no joke!
"Right now, running away is my only option!" Gaile Whitman screamed inside his head!
With that thought, Gaile Whitman quickly used the Wind word formula, hitting incredible speed in an instant!
He wanted to escape; as long as he could get out of here, he could report back to the Capital City Martial Arts Association!
Watching Whitman try to run, Paul Randall stayed calm, muttering to himself while using the Nine Secrets technique again!
This time, it was the "Move" character from the Nine Secrets!
Its speed blew past the Wind word formula. With just one step, he’d cut off Gaile Whitman’s escape route!
"Like I said, your Eighteenth Words formula is just a fake, not worth talking about," said Paul Randall with his hands behind his back.
Gaile Whitman roared in fury, "Paul Randall! Do you really want to see this through?"
Paul Randall laughed, "What’s the point of saying the same thing over and over?"
As he spoke, Paul Randall’s palm was already charging up energy.
This energy looked weak, but its power was absolutely terrifying!
"Ahhh!!!"
Gaile Whitman suddenly threw his head back and screamed, gathering every bit of his energy in his hands, apparently making a last desperate stand!
But Paul Randall was way too strong, raising his palm and crushing every technique Gaile Whitman had put together!
That kind of strength left Gaile Whitman completely terrified!
"Paul Randall, I can let you take Mason Raymond away, and I can pretend today never happened!" Gaile Whitman’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and panic filled his heart.
Paul Randall shook his head, "Only dead men tell no tales."
As Gaile Whitman tried to say something else, Paul Randall didn’t give him the chance.
His weathered palm reached straight for Gaile Whitman’s head!
Then Paul Randall applied pressure, and Gaile Whitman’s head got crushed to pieces!
