“Master truly is a ruthless man!”

Gazing at Master Long Eyebrow, who had amputated his own arm to save his life, Julius Reed’s face revealed a faint smile.

Divine Punishment was forged from a meteorite from beyond the heavens, only completed after more than three hundred years!

This dagger was filled with malevolent energy; once it stabbed someone, the skin and blood at the wound would instantly dry up and continue to spread throughout the body.

If Master Long Eyebrow had hesitated for even a moment, he would surely have died a violent death!

The entire Divine Punishment dagger exuded a sinister aura. Should anyone attempt to pull it out, an explosive force would instantly erupt, powerful enough to blast a person to pieces!

Zzzap!

With that sound, Master Long Eyebrow’s severed right arm had already turned into a skeleton, even the color of the bones had blackened.

Only then did the red light on the Divine Punishment start to fade, making it look no different from an ordinary dagger.

“Brother, catch the staff!”

Just at that moment, Master Pendleton came sprinting from the garden, tossing his golden staff straight out!

Master Long Eyebrow squinted his eyes and vigorously pressed on his acupoints to stop the bleeding, then leaped into the air!

Bang!

His left foot fiercely kicked the staff, instantly changing its trajectory, sending it straight towards Julius Reed!

Slash!

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the staff, weighing hundreds of pounds and carrying a destructive force, charged toward Julius Reed!

“Die!”

Master Long Eyebrow leaped up again, fiercely striking the end of the staff with his left hand!

Faced with such a ferocious strike, Julius Reed—uncharacteristically—knitted his brows!

This staff was no ordinary weapon; receiving it head-on would inevitably lead to internal injuries given his current level of cultivation!

Even from several meters away, he could already feel the devastating energy within the staff!

Without any hesitation, Julius Reed took a step back, his body leaning aside at an inconceivable angle!

In an instant, the staff reached the spot where he had just stood, grazing past Julius Reed’s clothes!

Boom!

The staff hit a large tree head-on, pulverizing the tree, one meter thick, right behind Julius Reed!

Seizing the opportunity, Julius Reed smashed down with a palm strike!

“Hum!”

When massive force met the staff, it encountered a fierce recoil!

Julius Reed stepped back and hurled another punch!

Hum!

When the punch hit the end of the staff, the tremendous rebound forced Julius Reed to stumble back several steps, while the staff, as a result, changed its trajectory and sprung back into Master Long Eyebrow’s hands.

“Brother, your right arm…”

Master Pendleton stared intently at Master Long Eyebrow’s amputated arm, filled with astonishment.

“It was accidentally broken during the fight.”

In response to his junior brother’s query, Master Long Eyebrow casually replied, “It’s just an arm. If it can eliminate this demon, what does it matter?”

“What Brother says is very true! However, this opponent seems rather formidable!”

Glancing at the severed arm, Master Pendleton felt a surge of alarm,

He had thought his senior brother capable of easily handling this youngster, yet after just a few simple exchanges, an entire arm had been lost!

In the entire martial world, Master Long Eyebrow was quite renowned. Although he couldn’t claim to be unmatched under the heavens, he was definitely among the top masters.

“Thank goodness for the staff!”

With his hands pressed together, he stood by, silent.

“I never thought this staff, which I presumed would remain dust-covered, would actually be used!”

Looking at the golden staff in his hand, a faint smile appeared on Master Long Eyebrow’s lips.

Ordinary people would likely have fainted from the unbearable pain of losing an arm, but on Master Long Eyebrow’s face, there wasn’t a hint of suffering to be seen.

“To die under this Zen staff is an honor for him.”

Master Pendleton sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recite scriptures without pause.

“Benefactor, this old monk is going to enlighten you now!”

With the staff in one hand, Master Long Eyebrow suddenly burst forth with endless murderous intent!

In just an instant, a fierce wind whipped up inside the villa, sand and dust churning in the air!

“This staff indeed seems quite mystical, not an ordinary weapon.”

As Julius Reed observed the staff in Master Long Eyebrow’s hand, he tried to remember, but he couldn’t recall such a treasure existing in the world.

Even from this distance, he could feel the towering murderous intent within the Zen staff.

“Whoosh!”

Master Long Eyebrow, without saying much, swung the staff down from the air with one hand!

Confronted with such a formidable strike, Julius Reed didn’t back down. Instead, he lifted a fallen tree with both hands and smacked it fiercely toward Master Long Eyebrow!

The thick tree, over a meter in diameter, seemed like a mere stick in his hands, wielded with effortless ease.

Crack!

In an instant, the staff, with the force of cleaving through Uriah Mount, smashed down fiercely!

The originally sturdy trunk was promptly shattered by the staff, splitting in the middle.

Julius Reed retreated a step, his gaze turning grave!

This Zen staff was too bizarre, the aura contained within it extremely terrifying!

And yet, he couldn’t remember such a weapon.

Could it be due to memory loss? But since the awakening of his memories, apart from some vague recollections, Julius Reed hadn’t missed a single Divine Weapon.

Yet no matter what, he couldn’t recall this lethally powerful staff.

Bang!

The staff landed two meters in front of Julius Reed, directly smashing the stone path into a crater over two meters deep.

Seizing the opportunity, Master Long Eyebrow raised his staff and poured the dust over Julius Reed.

But in that instant, instead of retreating, Julius Reed advanced. Stepping on the staff, he used the force to spring forward, positioning himself right in front of “Divine Punishment.”

Facing the staff, he couldn’t barehandedly parry. Instead, he would resolve it using a weapon.

‘Divine Punishment,’ upon contact with Julius Reed, blossomed with a dazzling light once more!

Clang!

Simultaneously, the staff in Master Long Eyebrow’s hand came smashing toward him, striking right against Julius Reed’s dagger!

If an ordinary person were struck by this staff, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant!

But upon hitting the dagger, it unexpectedly rebounded, forcing Master Long Eyebrow to stumble back several steps.

Amidst this brief moment, Julius Reed dashed out, ‘Divine Punishment’ in hand

directly thrust into the staff, then forcefully tore it apart!

Sizzle!

Accompanied by a sound like metal fibers splitting, the golden staff was cleft in two right down the middle!

And within the shell of this staff lay a black iron rod!

“A tricksters’s staff?”

Upon seeing this black iron rod, the puzzle in Julius Reed’s mind instantly unravelled.

So, it wasn’t a Zen staff at all, but rather a trickster’s rod wrapped in a layer of metal, fashioned to merely look like one!

“You actually knew…”

Just as he said this, Master Long Eyebrow once again gathered his startled expression and gripped the trickster’s rod tightly, his gaze sharpening immensely!

“Master, how admirable for one who claims to be from a venerable and righteous sect to carry such a wicked object! If I remember correctly, this trickster’s rod, being excessively evil, was buried deep atop a snowy mountain by True Man of Cavity Eye. Who would have thought that, after more than three hundred years, it would appear in your hands!”

Julius Reed said casually.
