Maria and Ivy gave it their all. In the end, after almost thirty exchanges, Marlon still found a chink in their armor and dealt a blow to each of them.
The two women staggered back from the impact, and blood came out of their mouths. Instantly, they couldn’t even muster any internal energy.
“Not bad!” Marlon grinned. He looked like he was still riding the high.
“You’re shameless!” The two humiliated women flew into a rage. They wanted to attack again, but Caelus raised a hand to stop them!
“That’s enough. You two are no match for him. Allow me.”
“Caelus, this asshole is utterly shameless. You need to teach him a lesson!” the two women said indignantly.
“Don’t worry. Leave it to me.” Caelus leveled a cold gaze at Marlon. He slowly unsheathed the sword on his back.
Maria and Ivy bit back their anger and stood off to one side.
“Punk, you want to play the hero and save those damsels in distress? Are you capable of doing that? Don’t regret it when I smash all your teeth in, Marlon sneered.
“I’ll defeat you in less than ten moves,” Caelus said arrogantly.
“Ten moves? Heh, is your head okay? If you were one of the Heavenly Immortals, I might have some reservations. Where did a nameless pipsqueak like you find the courage to say such outrageous things to my face?” Marlon laughed coldly.
“You don’t believe me? Then try me.” Caelus beckoned with his finger.
“Fine! I want to see what you can do!” Marlon was getting a little angry. He brandished his blade and slashed it down on Caelus’ head.
Caelus’ expression remained calm. He raised his sword in response.
In an instant, the room was filled with the glinting of swords. Bursts of energy filled the room.
Everyone else took a step back, putting space between them and the fight. They were afraid that they might get hurt.
“Miss, that bearded guy is really strong. Can your fellow disciple handle it?” Abigail asked out of the blue.
From the earlier battles, one could tell that Marlon hadn’t used his full strength.
“Hmph, Caelus is the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians. He’s extremely talented and strong. It will be a piece of cake for him to take down that scum!” Ivy said with confidence.
“That’s right! Just watch closely. Watch how Caelus scares off the enemy!” Maria said arrogantly.
“I hope so,” Abigail muttered to herself.
While they were talking, the spar had progressed rapidly. After a few blows, Caelus thrust his
sword violently, hitting Marlon’s blade. There was a clang, and the sword broke.
Following the momentum, the sword pierced Marlon’s shoulder. The broken end of the sword fell to the floor.
Marlon’s expression changed. He staggered backward from the impact, wobbling on his feet.
“Marlon!” The lackeys were shell-shocked. They immediately helped Marlon up. They’d never thought that the unbeatable Marlon would actually be defeated today. Even less so at the hand of a young swordsman.
“Who are you? How is your swordsmanship so sharp?!” Marlon said with a dark look.
“I am the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians, Caelus!” Caelus swung his sword, shaking off the blood. He was in his element.
“The Invincible Guardians?” Marlon was shocked.
The Invincible Guardians were a well-known guild in Glenstead. Although they were few in number, they were all elite fighters. Among all the guilds in Glenstead, the Invincible Guardians were in the top ten!
An ordinary martial artist like him couldn’t afford to piss them off.
When he returned to his senses, Marlon lowered his head in apology. “Caelus, I didn’t know who you were. Please forgive me for offending you.”
“Kneel and apologize,” Caelus said with an arrogant expression.
“Huh?” Marlon frowned. He hesitated, but he still fell to his knees with a thud.
He clearly showed what it meant to know when to surrender.
