Their expressions changed drastically. But they had already consumed the dark pill before coming here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had promised the Faction Leader, Vince. They couldn’t backtrack now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second middle-aged man stepped forward. He didn’t want Zack Lockwood to gain any more momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought the saber forward. A black-colored liquid covered the blade in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visual caused the warriors to gasp because they had identified the black liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Corrosive water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s another common water variant, but it’s powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors commented from outside. I heard their words as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the middle-aged man came charging towards me. His blade was aimed at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam appeared in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he reached me. He then brought down his saber diagonally. I saw the blade coated with the black corrosive water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the blade were to land on me, it would definitely hurt my skin. I didn’t want to take any chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My senses were heightened. Just before the blade could land on me, my body shifted sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn’t expect Zack Lockwood to dodge the attack at the last second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I covered my palm with dark purple lightning force. It was a small amount. It covered my palm silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blade cut across the empty air, I shifted my body and moved towards him to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man wanted to retreat, but my actions were faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch squarely landed on the chest. The next second, an earth-shattering noise sounded. The senior’s body was blasted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s face was filled with terror. His heart faced death at that moment. His body then crashed into the ground with heavy force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark purple lightning force had torn apart his chest; the residual power was impacting his internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was terrified. He lost consciousness the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the warriors standing outside gulped down their saliva in fear. They saw the second warrior knocked down in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It happened quickly. The faces of the Dark Variant Faction warriors changed drastically. They didn’t expect the second opponent to be defeated this quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders in the sky were embarrassed. They were the Main Elders of the Dark Variant Faction. They saw other Main Elders looking towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderflame Faction Main Elders were looking at them with triumphant smiles. The challenge was already won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood had won against two people. It didn’t matter whether the last man won or lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of warriors from other factions became calm as well. They were used to Zack Lockwood’s abnormal strength by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd, Ronnie Seth was there as well. He saw the dark purple lightning force released by Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was a small amount of force, it knocked down the Silver Mark Warrior. He was completely convinced that the dark purple lightning force used by Zack Lockwood was powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more powerful than his Black Lightning Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the open field, the third senior had lost his courage to fight. Two of his friends were knocked down. Their bodies had injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third middle-aged man didn’t want to fight. His eyes were filled with fear. In the end, he gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"I accept defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud exclamation occurred this time. But no one was surprised or raised complaints. They understood that it was impossible to defeat Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was convinced that Zack Lockwood was the strongest in his rank because Zack Lockwood didn’t use his attack or defense techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply used elemental manipulation to defeat the opponent. Even their elite warriors would face difficulties defeating Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders of the Dark Variant Faction looked towards the third Silver Mark Warrior with anger. They didn’t expect the last warrior to accept defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders gave a snort before leaving the place. One by one, the Main Elders of the Dark Variant Faction left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders of the Bloodline Factions had witnessed the defeat as well. They looked towards Zack Lockwood in a new light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even found out that Zack Lockwood was too strong to defeat. The Silver Mark Warriors from the Bloodline Faction were at the front line as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one strong enough from the Bloodline Faction present here to challenge Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Faction Leaders had ordered them not to challenge Zack Lockwood, so they left the place. In the blink of an eye, all the Main Elders were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors from the Dark Variant Faction took the injured warriors to the clinic. The third senior went with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I found everyone’s intense gaze on me. I knew the Main Elders were looking at me as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze swept across the warriors down below. I didn’t say anything. I turned around and entered the faction territory. Then I made my way towards the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin and the others looked at each other with a smile. Then they left the place as well. The worst thing didn’t happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood defeated them without using elemental techniques. It showed Zack Lockwood was truly strong. Hereafter, no one would use their little schemes against Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Variant Faction\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Vince got the news. He was extremely angry. Not only were the senior Silver Mark Warriors defeated, but they were defeated in a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last one admitted defeat out of fear. Their Dark Variant Faction lost face in front of others. Three of them were already expelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t do anything to him. He thought about the mission recommendations; he was not going to help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was shocked by Zack Lockwood’s strength. He, too, had watched the duel in secret. The strength shown by Zack Lockwood showed that he could fight across ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought the average Gold Mark Warriors were no match for Zack Lockwood. It was the assessment of other Faction Leaders as well. Everyone had watched the duel in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-05T15:57:26.876Z",1,"novelbin.me","ad183d1f49c7347768d67a95055a966184e70be436449dceceb984e541148a0b","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1425","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1466",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
