When he saw Julius Reed make the first move, a smile flickered across Maurice Springs’ lips.

In Willson Pavilion, he was considered a master among masters, and now here was this young man, foolishly taking the initiative to attack?

If he was seeking death, then so be it!

In their previous exchange, Maurice Springs hadn’t used his full strength, holding back a significant portion of his power.

After all, as a renowned master, he didn’t need to exert too much effort against a young man.

“Arrogant youth, you will learn a lesson with your life!” he said with a maniacal laugh, as he suddenly stepped forward!

Whoosh!

Similarly, a punch driven by formidable force tore through the air, colliding with Julius Reed’s fist!

Maurice Springs even envisioned the young man’s bones shattering, kneeling on the ground and dying miserably!

But the very next moment, the smile on his face suddenly froze, then turned to shock!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He staggered back three steps, his right arm completely numbed by the impact!

Meanwhile, the young man stood still, unmoved from his spot.

“Is that so? Well, I’ll pay the tuition, but let’s see if you dare to collect it!” Julius Reed smiled faintly, his body darting out like lightning!

Bang!

Another punch!

Maurice Springs couldn’t even react in his shock, and his distraction caused him to hesitate for a moment with his counterstrike.

It was that moment of hesitation that Julius Reed seized, smashing hard against his shoulder!

Thump!

Maurice Springs stumbled backwvard, flying through the air and crashing to the ground, instantly rolling to absorb the impact.

“You are strong!”

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Maurice Springs showed a grave expression: “But sadly, you’re still a bit weak. Just now was your best chance to defeat me, yet even so, you failed to injure me seriously!”

He licked the blood at his mouth and showed a fierce grin: “Is this all the strength you have? I’m rather disappointed! You’ve missed your best chance. Now, you will bear my wrath!”

Having defeated Miles Cook and Quantez Springs, and intimidated those disciples from taking action, Maurice Springs had already estimated Julius Reed’s strength.

But only during the exchange did he realize that the opponent was really strong, and that he had underestimated him somewhat.

Still, Maurice Springs remained confident.

As the branch leader of the Far East Division, if he didn’t have this much capability, how could he lead his troops?

Moreover, Willson Pavilion’s branch leaders tell into two categories: one was the War God faction like Maurice Springs, responsible for combat and handling disputes.

Whenever there was a mission, these people would charge at the forefront and fight against overwhelming odds!

The other was responsible for managing the gang’s affairs and overseeing the big picture.

That would be what’s referred to as the Think Tank.

Although the strategists were also strong fighters, compared with the War God faction, there was a significant difference.

“Come at me, and hopefully you won’t disappoint me too much!”

Julius Reed wasn’t provoked but instead stood casually with his hands behind his back, looking down from the hill with a superior air.

“Heh, truly a young and rash one. Not bad, with your skill at such a young age, you indeed have the right to be proud. But do you know there’s always someone out there who is better?”

Maurice Springs didn’t rush to make a move.

Indeed, even as adversaries, he had to admit the young man was a prodigy.

With such skill at a mere teen, his potential was unlimited.

Even Maurice Springs, powerful as he was, wasn’t half as good as Julius Reed when he was that age.

But in real combat, no one cares about your age.

The victor is king.

The loser… dead.

“If you hadn’t injured my son Quantez, perhaps I would have considered taking you as a disciple and nurturing your talent thoroughly!” Maurice Springs said with regret as he looked at Julius Reed: “But now, you must be eliminated! Given time, you would certainly become a huge problem! Young man, be more prudent in your next life!”

In another ten years, the young man’s cultivation might even surpass his own, so Maurice Springs would certainly not spare him.

Such a monstrous talent, if not killed, would definitely become a major threat!

“Do you know why I didn’t kill your son?” Julius Reed still remained calm, asking coldly from his vantage point on the hillside.

It was as if facing such a powerful opponent, he was still completely confident.

“Why?”

It was only when Julius Reed asked this that Maurice Springs came to his senses.

Although Quantez Springs hadn’t died, he was extremely close to death. Was this merely a coincidence, or had heaven intervened?

Now, it seemed more like the doing of the young man before him. Being able to control one’s strength so precisely was absolutely no accident!

“Because sometimes, living is more painful than dying.”

Julius Reed said softly.

If Quantez Springs had died in his coma, it would have been too easy on him!

Now, being disabled for life, even unable to walk, was this not the ultimate cruelty towards a young man?

No one knew how painful this really was.

Without having experienced it, one couldn’t understand such difficulties.

“You’re asking for death!”

At this moment, Maurice Springs was thoroughly enraged!

Quantez Springs was his Achilles heel, untouchable by anyone!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Blind with rage, he charged forward, his fists pounding down with force!

By then, Julius Reed had already sensed the overwhelming intent to kill and the extremely strong presence!

Previously, Maurice Springs had clearly held back, but now, he was letting it all out!

Yet, Julius Reed still did not move an inch, as if frozen by fear, standing with his hands clasped behind his back upon the hillside.

Whoosh!

The fist arrived before Julius Reed in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, he thrust out his right hand with lightning speed and fiercely grabbed Maurice Springs’ wrist!

Then!

He twisted it hard!

Crack!

Boom!

After breaking Maurice Springs’ wrist, Julius Reed sidestepped and flew past his body!

The tree behind Julius Reed was instantly broken in two!

One could only imagine how a punch that could break a tree would have crushed a man!

“Ssss!”

The intense pain spread instantly throughout Maurice Springs’ body. Even though he was very strong and his endurance was at its limit, this was a broken bone!

Had it been someone else, they would have passed out long ago.

That Maurice Springs was still standing in front of Julius Reed showed just how strong he really was!

“I underestimated you.”

Maurice Springs looked at his exposed bone and a slight smile spread across his lips. “But, you must die!”

Whoosh!

As he spoke, Maurice Springs bolted out like lightning!

In his hand, a dagger flashed coldly!

Swipe!

Julius Reed dodged to the side and hastily retreated baclwards!

With that deadly strike, Maurice Springs slammed heavily into a tree, cutting a tree trunk half a meter thick clean in half!

“Again!”

He shouted, roaring with fury as he chased after Julius Reed once more! As the head of the Eastern Branch Pavilion, Maurice Springs had been undefeated in battle!

But now, his arm had been broken by a teenager!

If word got out, it would be an enormous disgrace!

Therefore, the other must die!

“If one of us must die, it can only be you!”

Julius Reed narrowed his eyes and charged toward Maurice Springs!

Bang!

He suddenly kicked forward, striking directly at Maurice Springs’ injured arm!
