Chapter 160 - First in the Adamantine Leaderboard (2/2)
Cale pointed his Void Wolf Immortal Sword's tip at Tiger with great ease. It was as if he was wielding a short sword. ”Little Tiger, make your move.” He smiled brightly at Tiger.
Tiger became irritated at Cale's taunting. He gritted his teeth in anger and swung his huge sword towards Cale, but he only used thirty percent of his strength.
Cale calmly lifted his Void Wolf Immortal Sword with one hand to block Tiger's aggressive swing.
”Claang!” A fierce shockwave erupted after their two swords clashed against each other.
Tiger was surprised that Cale was able to block his attack, but he was not discouraged. He jumped in midair and lifted his sword with both hands. He then slashed towards Cale with all his strength.
Cale yawned while lazily lifting his sword once again.
”Claaang!” An even fiercer shockwave erupted following Tiger's attack using his full strength, but Cale remained unmoved. Only the ground beneath him became a wide and deep crater, but Cale remained unharmed.
Tiger's arms turned numb after his attack, but he ignored the feeling and swung his sword one more time while aiming to cleave Cale's body in half. 'This kid is much stronger than I thought. F_u_c_k!'
Tiger's slash looked very fast from the onlooker's point of view, but in Cale's eyes, it was as slow as a snail's pace.
Under everyone's stunned looks, Cale nonchalantly caught Tiger's sword with his free hand.
Tiger pushed his sword, but it would not even budge. It was as if a devil's hand was holding his sword tightly. ”You... What kind of sorcery is this?!” Tiger fearfully glanced at Cale's handsome face. In his eyes, the handsome face warped into that of a demon making him even more fearful.
Cale then swung his Void Wolf Immortal Sword at the Tiger's huge sword. The huge sword was cut cleanly in half as if Cale was slicing a soft persimmon. ”This is your punishment for provoking me earlier.” He then walked slowly towards the trembling Tiger.
”Don't come near me! Don't come near me!” Tiger was so terrified that he almost pissed his pants. He wanted to run, but an invisible pressure was stopping him from moving.
Cale glanced at Tiger's sweating face and patted the latter's shoulder gently. ”And this is for looking at Aurora with your lecherous eyes.”
Cale imbued his Advance Sword Intent in his palm when he patted Tiger's shoulder. He then smiled and put back his sword inside his storage space.
Tiger was still shivering non-stop, but a few seconds later, he spat a mouthful of blood and kneeled on the ground with a contorted expression. ”Aargghh!” He released a muffled groan while gritting his teeth.
A small sigh can then be heard before an old man with a buff physique appeared out of thin air. He then placed a pill in Tiger's hand, but his focus was on the young man with long silver hair. ”Thank you for being lenient, young man. Although Tiger is a lecherous man, he is a loyal mercenary of the guild.” The old man cupped his fists towards Cale.
Cale similarly cupped his fists to show respect to the old man. 'This old man... Hehe! There is actually another peak stage Immortal-Class level expert in the empire. But why isn't he present during the attack more than a week ago?'
”Old sir, can we get our identity tokens now? I'm sorry for my rudeness, but we are in a hurry.” Cale smiled with embarrassment.
”Hoho! No problem! No problem at all! Here are your new identity tokens. This is for the young lady. She will be the new fifth-rank mercenary in the Adamantine leaderboard.” The old man tossed a token towards Aurora. She grabbed the token and kept it to herself.
”And this is for you, young man. With your peak Immortal-Class level strength, you are now the new first-rank mercenary in the Adamantine leaderboard.” The old man tossed another token towards Cale. He thought that Cale was also a peak Immortal-Class level expert after sensing the strength that he released, but he did not know that Cale was only at the mid-stage of the Immortal-Class level.
The old man was the mysterious guild leader of the Mercenary Guild. He was also the second peak stage Immortal-Class level expert of the Celestial Sword Empire.
After hearing the old man's words, the crowd of onlookers was stunned senseless.
”What?! He is actually a peak Immortal-Class level expert!”
”Crazy! This is insane!”
