Chapter 869: A Chaos
Senior Sister Nell’s eyes flickered with genuine surprise when she felt the power behind Max’s strike. That sword shadow carried a fully formed level 2 sword concept, something she did not expect from someone who was only at the peak of Master Rank.
Her whip, a legend-rank weapon, flashed into her hand with a sharp crack of energy as she instinctively lashed out to block the descending blade.
Bang!
The collision shook the cave, sparks of sword intent and whip shadows exploding outward like clashing storms. Despite successfully blocking the attack, the sheer force behind Max’s sword strike sent Nell flying backward.
Her slender frame smashed into a rock wall, her feet grinding across the stone before she finally came to a stop. Her beautiful face turned cold and dark, her eyes narrowing with undisguised killing intent.
The black-robed young man, who had been helping restrain the Human-Faced Spider King, was momentarily stunned at what he saw. Then, as if remembering something critical, his expression hardened, and he shouted in a voice filled with excitement and malice: "Senior Sister Nell, that’s him—he’s Max! If we kill him, Arnold promised us an 8th-tier rune as a reward!"
"What?!" Nell’s eyes widened slightly before an eager smile tugged at her red lips. The thin young man at her side also froze, then glanced at Max with pure greed in his gaze.
Until this moment, they couldn’t understand why Arnold, a powerhouse at the 6th level of Legend Rank, had been forced into a desperate battle and severely injured because of this one person. How could someone at peak Master Rank cause such chaos? But now, after witnessing Max’s attack with their own eyes, their doubts evaporated.
This was no ordinary expert—Max was dangerous.
Yet, instead of fear, their hearts brimmed with excitement. A free 8th-tier rune. Even top geniuses of various forces would kill for such a reward.
