Chapter 837: Chapter 837: A Palm Breaking the Zen Staff
Mad Dragon!
Such a familiar nickname.
However.
Julius Reed couldn’t remember at all!
"Master, is he really the Mad Dragon?"
A man with patterns painted on his face looked towards the blue-robed elder.
"No mistake! We received information from Shadow Gate, claiming that Mad Dragon has appeared and injured Shadow Gate Disciple Rufus Bay!"
The blue-robed elder narrowed his eyes with a slight frown, "But it seems, Mad Dragon hardly recalls the events of those years."
Mad Dragon!
Once the martial world’s supreme leader, the head of Seven Clouds Academy.
Ten years ago, Seven Clouds Academy emerged with high-profile, defeating various organizations one after another, becoming the martial world’s supreme leader.
It was rumored that Mad Dragon possessed a precious artifact.
The Divine Dragon Tripod!
Whoever obtained the tripod could gain immortality.
Countless powerful warriors joined forces to defeat Seven Clouds Academy and seize the Divine Dragon Tripod.
But in the end, they suffered heavy casualties without even catching a glimpse of what the Divine Dragon Tripod was.
Until four years ago.
Seven Clouds Academy suddenly started acting discreetly, and its disciples returned to the academy.
Almost overnight.
The former supreme leader disappeared without a trace.
And after months of investigation, they discovered a shocking truth!
Mad Dragon was dead.
When the news spread, the entire martial world was nearly driven mad.
They launched a frenzied, vengeful assault on Seven Clouds Academy, fighting their way to the academy’s core.
After the academy’s elites broke out, they went into hiding.
They never appeared again.
And despite searching the academy, they found no trace of the so-called Divine Dragon Tripod.
But they firmly believed that the Divine Dragon Tripod must exist!
After perusing the core secrets of the academy that had not yet been destroyed, the martial world’s powerful warriors discovered an even more surprising truth.
It turned out that ten years ago, Mad Dragon’s initial intent in establishing Seven Clouds Academy was precisely to search for the lost Divine Dragon Tripod.
Three years.
For three years, no one in the martial world ever gave up on searching for the Divine Dragon Tripod.
But, all to no avail.
Until this morning, Shadow Gate obtained intelligence confirming Mad Dragon was still among the living.
The martial world was once again stirred up.
Many believed that three years ago, Mad Dragon must have obtained the Divine Dragon Tripod before disappearing from the martial world.
And an even more explosive piece of news said that Mad Dragon was severely injured!
He was no longer the same as before!
Otherwise, how could he watch Seven Clouds Academy fall with his eyes wide open?
It was this very point that solidified those people’s determination to come in search of the treasure!
Now, aside from Deep Cold, who was held up by Willson Pavilion, other powerhouses were stepping onto the Eastern Continent.
Aiming to seize the advantage!
Ceylon Mountain Elder Wyatt Carmichael was the first to arrive here with his men.
Eager to claim the Divine Dragon Tripod!
"Mad Dragon! Don’t think you can escape disaster by playing crazy and dumb," Carmichael pointed his staff forward, "Where is the Divine Dragon Tripod?"
But Julius Reed did not answer.
His mind was now a mess of disjointed fragments of memory, interwoven together.
Fleeting glimpses of familiarity flashed by, yet he couldn’t grasp any of it!
"Seven Clouds Academy..."
Julius Reed’s face showed extreme agony.
His whole body leaned against the tree trunk, muttering to himself nonstop.
"Master, could it be that Mad Dragon... really has gone mad?"
The man with the ghostly face looked at Wyatt Carmichael, "Now, does he look anything like Mad Dragon?"
In days past in the martial world, Mad Dragon was a legend!
Invincible in battle, every strike would lead to rivers of blood.
But now, the youth before them was just a madman.
"We don’t have much time, if others discover us, the Divine Dragon Tripod may fall into another’s hands," Wyatt Carmichael took a deep breath and said gravely, "Capture Mad Dragon first, search him!"
"Yes!"
The ghostly-faced man drew his Longsword from his waist and quickly thrust it toward Julius Reed!
He wanted to test whether the man before him was truly Mad Dragon!
Hiss!
The sword blade, with the sound of the wind, aimed straight for Julius Reed’s chest!
The ghostly-faced man tensed up, his eyes constantly watching.
The legends of Mad Dragon’s deeds in recent years were too terrifying.
Even their Ceylon Mountain had several elders killed by the hands of Mad Dragon!
Now, truly facing Mad Dragon with a sword in hand, he didn’t have much confidence.
The distance was shrinking.
When the sword’s tip was less than half a meter away from Julius Reed, the man with the ghastly face tensed up!
As if frozen in place!
Clang!
Julius Reed suddenly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot!
Like an infuriated lion!
With his right hand, he viciously reached forward and snapped the blade in half!
Then, he thrust the broken half forward!
Thud!
The ghastly-faced man’s eyebrows knitted together, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes bulged larger and larger!
Subsequently, his pupils began to dilate.
Vitality faded away.
"Bob Jones!"
Wyatt Carmichael shouted, his body trembling somewhat.
"Master, the eldest senior brother couldn’t even withstand a single move! What should we do?"
The others were immediately intimidated.
When they had joined Ceylon Mountain, Mad Dragon had already disappeared.
To the rumors of the past, the younger ones were mostly disdainful.
If he were that strong, why would Seven Clouds Academy have been destroyed?
But now...
"Don’t panic!"
Although Wyatt Carmichael’s heart was somewhat chaotic, he dared not show it.
Once he showed any fear, it would be akin to throwing himself into disarray.
"Mad Dragon may be skilled, but he’s no longer as he once was!"
Taking a deep breath, he gripped his staff with both hands: "Everyone, attack together!"
Whoosh!
Finishing his proclamation, Wyatt Carmichael swung his staff and charged towards Julius Reed! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Behind him, a dozen disciples followed suit, brandishing their longswords and surrounding him!
"Mad Dragon?"
Julius Reed tapped his forehead lightly: "It seems they’re talking about me, aren’t they?"
He had thought his memory was nearly completely restored, with only the battle at the snowy mountain remaining blank.
Yet, after today’s events, he knew there was still much he hadn’t remembered.
But just as he pondered this for a moment, a dozen people had already charged at him.
"Regardless of whether I am Mad Dragon, today you all must die!"
Julius Reed stepped forward, his killing intent chilling: "Even though, you’re hardly a threat to me."
Whisk!
He reached out and seized two longswords thrusting towards him!
With a violent flick forward!
Thud!
The longswords penetrated the bodies of the two leading attackers.
Then, Julius Reed faced the oncoming staff of Wyatt Carmichael!
Woosh!
A kick landed on the staff, forcing Wyatt Carmichael to retreat several steps!
"Old man, you bragged about killing me. But, is that all you’ve got?"
Julius Reed, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke coldly.
"Mad Dragon! You were indeed feigning madness and stupidity!"
A shock ran through Wyatt Carmichael’s heart.
He had received intel from Shadow Gate, stating that Mad Dragon’s strength was compromised!
But that one blow had just sent excruciating pain through his organs!
Mad Dragon didn’t look injured at all, did he?
"I haven’t been feigning madness or stupidity; it’s just that I somewhat can’t remember the past," Julius Reed pointed at Wyatt Carmichael: "If you are willing to help me recall, I am willing to leave you a complete corpse."
"Mad Dragon! You’re as arrogant as ever!"
Wyatt Carmichael roared angrily: "Today, I must obtain the Divine Dragon Tripod!"
Finishing his declaration, he spun his staff and leaped up high!
In that instant!
Wyatt Carmichael descended like a golden Arhat from the heavens!
That staff carried a fierce killing intent!
Leaping up!
Julius Reed soared into the air, transforming his right hand into a palm, and slashed down towards the incoming staff!
Crack!
The staff was cleaved in two.
