“What an extraordinary heir the Kanes have! His mastery of martial arts is practically. unparalleled!” Thomas murmured under his breath, his expression grave with astonishment and dread. His thoughts drifted to Logan, Joel, and the rest of the Kanes. What a shame. If only they could hold out until Jeremy showed up, their lives might have been spared. In fact, with Jeremy’s support, the Kanes could have risen to unprecedented heights of power.
“So this is wh
a real martial artist looks like?” Standing in a corner of the hall, Cindy shook her head with a bitter smile, completely stunned and overpowered by Jeremy’s immense strength.
“Logan, you’ve raised an exceptional son. Even though you’re gone, your younger boy is about to avenge you right here and now,” Axel whispered to himself, a hint of satisfaction coloring his
tone.
He eagerly anticipated seeing Ryan’s downfall–a fate so terrible it would leave him in utter despair.
I thought I’d never witness this, yet here it is..
Jeremy is so incredible!
At that very moment, Grace’s retreating steps came to an abrupt halt.
Ryan reached out to steady her.
Her slender body trembled slightly as though she had fallen into a warm and comforting
embrace.
“Ms. Nolan, leave this to me, came Ryan’s calm, resonant voice.
Grace had never been this close to a man before, let alone in such close proximity. Her heart pounded uncontrollably as she quickly pulled herself upright, away from Ryan’s arms. In a panicked voice, she blurted, “Mr. Howell! You have to go now! My guards and I can buy some
timel
“That won’t be necessary, Ryan said with a gentle smile, his heart softening as he felt the sincerity and urgency in Grace’s worry.
“You…” Grace’s voice shook with fury as her body trembled.
Ryan let go of Grace, lifting his gaze to meet Jeremy, who was slowly but steadily closing the distance between them.

In no time, Jeremy was standing face–to–face with Ryan.

Without wasting a moment, he released his full power, his energy surging as he raised his hand, preparing to strike.
“Swoosh!”
The heavy blade glowed ominously, radiating a murderous intent so intense it seemed to burst from within, accompanied by the sharp, metallic scent of blood.
As the blade slashed through the air, the space in front of Ryan rippled and trembled.
This was no simple strike; it felt as if a massive mountain, carrying a lethal force, was bearing down mercilessly.
Incredible!
Too powerful!
Grace, sheltered by Ryan, went deathly pale, her face drained of all color, her once–beautiful eyes filled with terror.
She could almost foresee Ryan’s doom, as Jeremy’s strike wasn’t even directed at her, but the sheer force of the aura was enough to leave her struggling for breath. What about Ryan, who was directly in the path of that heavy blade?
“Dodge!!!” Grace cried out in panic, unable to hold herself back.
But unfortunately, it seemed Ryan didn’t hear her, Instead, the disdainful smile on his lips only
wider.
TEW
In an instant, Ryan shot his hand up!
What on earth?
Grace and the others who witnessed his move were so stunned, they nearly choked on their shock.
Against Jeremy’s fearsome strike with the heavy blade, you … you didn’t even try to avoid it? You chose to meet it head-on?
And the craziest part? You’re using your bare hands to block a sharp, deadly blade without any kind of weapon!
Is there any way to be this reckless?!
Honestly, even Jeremy was taken aback. He never expected Ryan to be so foolish as to seek death
in this manner.

Chapter 26 The Blade is Broken
After a brief moment, everything froze!
+8 Pearls
The heavy blade, brimming with immense power and deadly intent, came to a sudden halt in mid–air, barely a foot from Ryan, suspended without moving.
It was clear that Ryan’s right hand, resembling an eagle’s talon, gripped the heavy blade with unwavering strength.
Grace’s mouth hung open, her body trembling in disbelief. How could this be possible?! How could he do this?!
Even Jeremy was stunned.
His heavy blade strike alone carried over 11 pounds of raw force, not to mention the added inertia and murderous energy.
Even a mid–level grandmaster wouldn’t dare face such an attack directly, let alone try to stop it with their bare hands, correct?
What could possibly be happening here?
Jeremy’s expression shifted for the first time.
Without thinking, he channeled his inner energy, letting it rush wildly through his meridians and acupoints into his arm in an effort to boost his strength.
It was all in vain.
The heavy black blade in Ryan’s hand didn’t budge an inch.
“You’re too weak,” Ryan said, his voice steady yet booming, like thunder echoing in the ears of everyone present.
In that instant, Ryan’s wrist, still gripping the black blade, suddenly tightened.
With a sharp twist, he unleashed his strength.
“Crack!”
It’s broken.
The heavy black blade, forged through endless hammer strikes, shattered outright!
Ryan’s bare hand had effortlessly broken it apart.
