Chapter 2544: Dao Showdown

Silvio Reed likes to play the role of justice, letting his subordinates handle the dirty and exhausting work.

He wants his image to be grand and magnificent.

But Julius Reed is different.

Julius Reed never hides his inner thoughts, deciding a person’s life or death based solely on the matter itself.

He doesn’t consider the consequences that may follow.

Only with great power can one disregard such things.

After killing those who spoke, he disappeared.

Chasing Silvio Reed!

Since they’ve met, wouldn’t it be a waste if they don’t clear things up?

One runs, one chases.

Hundreds of kilometers, in pursuit.

The two soon reach the southeastern border.

Silvio Reed stops, turns around with a smile, looking at Julius Reed.

"I remember you not being a reckless person, am I correct?"

He sighs slightly, feeling a bit disappointed, "But today, you are very reckless."

"I don’t like being lectured."

Julius Reed shakes his head, "Especially being lectured by someone as insidious as you."

He has some emotional feelings towards Silvio Reed.

It’s like trusting someone for ages, only to realize they were deceiving him all along.

This hatred, or hostility, is incredibly strong!

"I am ultimately your mentor, most of your skills are taught by me." Silvio Reed raises his hand, and a group of people gradually appears behind him, surrounding Julius Reed.

"You must have guessed I have an ambush, you surely know I would confront you, and earlier was just an act to lure you out. But you are arrogant, you think you can solve everything, right?"

"Your arrogance harmed you. From the start, I’ve noticed your arrogance, including during these five thousand years we’ve spent together, you’ve always been this arrogant. I have a question, why aren’t you afraid of death?"

Silvio Reed asks with a smile.

He believes his abilities are stronger than Julius Reed’s, his methods are more plentiful, and his plots are far superior.

Yet before doing anything, Silvio Reed always thinks about the worst result and the escape plan.

Because of such caution, he has evaded countless disasters over the years.

Including assassinations and organized revenge.

If back in the day he hadn’t faked his death under Dragon Dance’s hand, pretending to be buried in the Nine Provinces Tomb, those families behind the Martial Artists he eliminated might have teamed up to attack Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!

Silvio Reed, at that time, was already a public enemy in the world.

But a fake death, dying under Dragon Dance’s hand, allowed him to avoid this disaster.

In Silvio Reed’s mind, if Julius Reed were to carry out such a thing, he would likely die without a trace.

Julius Reed’s arrogance, in Silvio Reed’s view, is the most fatal flaw.

Simply based on this flaw, his good disciple doesn’t deserve to surpass him.

"So, aren’t you going to give a final explanation?"

Julius Reed wiped his ring.

And lightly breathed on it.

The Dragon King Ring kept flashing, becoming more and more fascinating.

"There’s nothing to say, you want to kill me, but you may not have the ability. I can give you a relatively fair chance."

Silvio Reed stepped forward, standing face-to-face with Julius Reed.

"Do you know why I like you?"

His face always carries a smile.

"Because back when those three thousand disciples were fighting, you eventually grew tired, numb with the killings, you sat on the ground, telling them to resolve it themselves, otherwise if you took action, their fate would be countless times worse! And indeed, dozens of your fellow disciples were scared into suicide."

"Heartless, cold-blooded, simply perfect. Now I give you the second to last chance, if now you serve me, then afterwards, you will be second only to one person, but above thousands."

"But if you let me personally defeat you, then even if you wish to join me, you can only take the place of Trent Marsh once had, unable to enter my absolute core and think tank. You, think it over."

After speaking, he no longer pressed the matter.

Instead, he gave Julius Reed time to consider.

"No need, I’ve always wanted to know what the true Silvio Reed looks like when going all out."

Julius Reed held the sword, staring directly at someone he spent every day with.

"Very well, then I shall wake you up." Silvio Reed drew his sword like lightning, suddenly attacking Julius Reed!

The air held only a fleeting shadow!

When Silvio Reed reappeared, he was already behind Julius Reed.

The sword in his hand, carrying icy Sword Qi, swiftly struck!

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted!

Julius Reed stomped his foot, swung around and unleashed a Nether Fire!

But just as the Nether Fire met the icy chill, it dispersed.

It posed no threat whatsoever!

"Between you and me, perhaps we don’t need to keep fighting like this."

Silvio Reed smiled lightly and said, "Both of us are on the great path, the level of our paths can be understood with a single test."

After speaking, he stabbed his sword into the ground, his clothes without any automatic movement!

An intangible yet truly existent aura suddenly appeared!

Those around immediately knelt on the ground, faces pale!

They were under unprecedented pressure!

As if there was a belief in their hearts, urging them to kneel and submit!

Yet, this force had not yet affected Julius Reed.

"The great path is infinite, without division of levels. But the heart of the path, has strength and weaknesses!"

Silvio Reed’s tone carried an air of royal authority!

"I, Silvio Reed, from the day I was born, was destined to be the existence of a Human King! I respect only the heavens and earth, not ghosts and gods!"

"Even those ancient gods in the foolish mouths of people, I capture what I wish, kill what I wish! In my era, I am the law."

"Julius Reed, look at my kingly way, how strong, how weak is it?"

A light yellow glow surrounded Silvio Reed!

Kingly way!

It seemed as though the entire area was his domain.

And the people within the area, all submitted!

Only submission!

They had no choice!

Golden light slowly spread, surrounding Julius Reed.

"Silvio Reed, in some ways, you indeed are a very excellent person. But your heart is too narrow. You’re selfish, self-serving. You’re lonely, without friends, without people to trust. Is such a life not tiring? Even if you sit at the highest position, what’s the meaning?"

Julius Reed looked at him calmly, without taking any action.

All around him was peaceful, entirely without the intention to exert his great path.

Completely allowed Silvio Reed’s power to enclose him.

"Isn’t life just tiring?"

Silvio Reed said very regretfully, "I really don’t want to kill you. On this path, I’ve killed so many, my hands are blood-soaked. But you, I really like. Good disciple, join me. Why are you always so persistent? Can’t you let go?"

Silvio Reed has never so repeatedly requested something from someone.

Requested something.

Five thousand years of day and night together, could there be no emotions?

Even self-serving people, are still people!

In today’s world, who isn’t self-serving?

Who isn’t selfish?

This is human nature.

"Sorry, I have my own principles." Julius Reed extended his hand, gently slicing through the air.

All surrounding air dissipated.
