Gary only used one second to change his smug expression to a terrified one. However, the 10th-tier ability gave him a powerful enough reflex, so before that as-huge-as-a-claypot fist smashed into his face, he raised his long saber in front of him, and activated all his defense shields at once.

  Three layers of magical screen shattered like bubbles under that fist before it smashed hard into that long saber across his body.

  This long saber that was forged by a famous weaponsmith began to visibly warp under that fist.

  The majestic giant golden lion groaned, and then bent its knees to kneel on the ground straight away, as if it was bowing to Rex.

  “Chief!”


  Darryl and Kurt got a shock at the same time. The former began to chant spells and display his magic in a panic, while the latter quickly dashed toward Rex with his sword, aiming the longsword at his back.

  Rex’s sudden burst had completely exceeded the trio’s expectations, and the terrifying speed and strength that he displayed even caught them off guard.

  Just as that long saber was about to reach its limit and break, the last magic shield finally activated its function, and took the last tinge of power from that terrible fist.

  Darryl had already set up his magic, and three ice walls rose up around Rex simultaneously, and trapped him like a prison. Three thick icicles fell from the sky like heaven’s punishment and crashed toward Rex.

  Kurt’s longsword also began to stab toward Rex in the space that Darryl deliberately left for him. The sword’s body was already engulfed by the crazily spinning sword projection, and the space seemed to almost shatter, and made horrible screeching sounds.

  Gary was pushed a few steps back, and he used his right leg to stabilize himself. His numb and shaky arms raised the long saber above his head, and he leaped up high. He slashed toward Rex behind the ice walls.

  The three 10th-tier powerhouses formed an effective combined attack after a brief moment of chaos.

  There was a gleam in the trio’s eyes. No matter how powerful Rex was, he had no way out facing the combined attack of three opponents of the same level.

  This was their confidence as pinnacle powerhouses. If they hadn’t reached the very best at certain domains, they wouldn’t be able to break through the 10th-tier shackles.

  Trapped on three fronts with no way of escaping, Rex seemed to be plunged into an extremely difficult situation.

  The knights in black armor watched this scene with anticipation and excitement. If the powerhouse of an era, the Hairless Monk, died in the hands of the chief and the two lords, the name of the Falk Tribe would definitely shock and awe people.

  The calmest person on the scene was in fact Rex, who was in dire straits.

  He flicked a glance at the reflective ice wall in front of him. The head of dark black hair made him look much younger, less aggressive, and more mature than in the times when he was bald.

  However, many people seemed to have forgotten that even though his hair had grown out, he was still that Hairless Monk.

  Therefore, he lowered his head and crashed toward the ice wall in front of him.

  Bam!

  The thick ice wall shattered into ice flakes instantaneously as Rex dashed toward Gary again like a human armor-piercing bullet.

  The long saber slashed toward Rex’s head vertically.

  However, Rex didn’t hide or evade. Instead, he dashed toward the sharp blade and terrifying strength.

  “You’re courting death!” A cruel smile appeared on Gary’s face. Since Rex was dashing toward Gary’s blade, then he shouldn’t blame the latter for being ruthless.

  Ding!

  However, the blade seemed to hack on an indestructible rock when it slashed at Rex’s head.

  A few black hairs began to gradually fall to the ground, while tiny cracks began to appear on the blade like on cracked eggshell. They spread rapidly outward before the blade shattered into pieces of metal.

  “This……”


  Gary glared with wide eyes as he stared at the half of the long saber left in his hands in disbelief.

  What happened earlier?!

  This fellow used his head to smash his saber into smithereens!!!

  He suddenly remembered a rumor that he heard when he was young. The most powerful part of the Hairless Monk’s body was his head. He became bald because he wanted to be even more powerful.

  But he didn’t believe that rumor was in actuality real. There really was an indestructible head in this world!

  Rex took one step forward to crash through the ice walls before evading the sword strike from behind and the giant icicles from the sky.

  “My power isn’t dictated by the length of my hair.” Rex brushed off the metal shards that were stuck on his hair lightly as he smirked at Gary, who was glaring at him in a daze. He appeared in front of him in the very next instant. He grasped his neck, and smashed him into the ground.

  Bam!

  With a dull thud, a huge sunken crater appeared in the ground.

  Rex smashed his fist into Gary’s face, and Gary’s head sunk into the ground immediately.

  The fists landed on his face one after another, and Gary sunk deeper and deeper. Only his exposed arms and legs could be seen trembling.

  “R-release the chief!” Kurt shouted in a quivering voice as he watched Gary getting hammered. He was afraid to act in case he hurt the chief by accident.

  Meanwhile, that squad of heavy cavalry were also watching their chief getting pummeled into the ground, but they had no idea how to stop that terrifying man at that moment.

  About three minutes later, Rex got up slowly. He shook his head as he looked at Gary, who was half-buried in the ground. “I don’t want your life. She would have regrets if she cannot kill you with her own hands.”


  He threw a glance at the palace before he turned to calmly address Darryl, Kurt, and those heavy cavalry knights with spears. “Who else?”


  The heavy cavalry actually took a few steps back instinctively.

  Darryl and Kurt also averted their gazes cowardly.

  They might have a chance to keep Rex here forever if they fought to their deaths. However, they would have to pay a huge price—maybe even their lives.

  After the other party indicated he wouldn’t kill Gary, Darryl and Kurt chose to give up on their idea of fighting to their deaths.

  Cowardice was a reluctant choice sometimes.

  Rex turned and slowly went away.

  There was an invincible lonely feeling about his lone back in the street.

  “Chief!” Darryl and Kurt swiftly rushed up and carefully dug Gary, who was beaten till he was unrecognizable, out from the crater.

  The medic quickly came over to treat Gary.

  “L-lock down the news……”


  Gary could only get a few words out before he blacked out completely.

  “Quick! Bring the chief back to the palace!” Darryl swiftly said, and all of them carried Gary to the palace in a hurry.

  ***

  “Attention, all units. The three 10th-tiers are already making their way back to the palace now.” Camilla’s voice appeared next to Mag’s ear again. With a tinge of surprise, she said, “But one of them was seriously injured, and is unconscious.”
