[Danx_72: So the "distortion" around theo when he was thinking is only fan service?]

Theo raised his head, looking at all these people. The hole that the two dragon horses made earlier had been plugged.

So, the first thing he should do was secure an escape route for his daughter and the horses.

Since they were waiting for his answer, he chose to show his answer through his action.

Without hesitation, he waved his sword to the side.

"He is going to fight! Kill him!" Lin Zong shouted, ordering the rest of the people to attack Theo.

Before they could move, Theo’s blade had reached them. Even the horses had seen the illusory light Theo made for them.

As soon as Theo moved, the two horses stomped the ground and started running.

The people from the right surprisingly didn’t move, unlike the others.

"!!!" The people noticed something weird, starting with a head suddenly falling to the ground.

"Eh?!"

"Wha—!"

All of them were dumbstruck, not knowing when Theo killed this person. But even more shocking was when the horses reached their position. The others wanted to attack them, but with a single stomp to the ground, it produced a shock wave that caused the bodies to fall down and the heads to slide off.

Without hesitation, the horses took advantage of this gap to escape the encirclement.

"Hey!"

"When did he kill our people?"

"What exactly happened?"

"I couldn’t even see his strike."

The people were confused and started panicking. What Theo had just done was something they couldn’t even see, so Theo might be stronger than them by a large margin.

Qin Beihe, on the other hand, was completely astounded. She never thought that Theo would fight Lin Zong for someone. And he didn’t even hesitate to kill eight people to show it.

Qin Beihe had two choices. If she stayed here, she might die because his expression clearly told her that he would rampage in here. If she ran away, she might become the witness of this battle, which might cause a problem in one way or another.

Ultimately, living was still better than dying. She hurriedly followed the horses before the gap was closed, leaving Theo alone.who

"Kill him!"

"There are still so many of us."

"Kill!"

Theo waved his sword in the opposite direction. As expected, now that they were more aware, their instinct kicked in when they felt hidden danger coming from Theo’s sword.

They hurriedly ducked down, but there were some people who were too late. Their heads were sent flying.

"!!!" The people who managed to avoid it earlier were scared for their lives. If they reacted just a bit slower, they would be the ones to die.

"That sword is dangerous."

"No. It might be an artifact."

Lin Zong shouted, "Kill him and bring me his sword!"

"Your greed and lust know no bounds." Theo muttered. Eight people closed in and stabbed Theo at the same time.

To their surprise, Theo suddenly disappeared. The one they stabbed earlier was just an afterimage.

"Where is he?" The people looked around and found Theo reaching the helpless people that had avoided his blade earlier. They hadn’t stood up, so they would be a perfect target to kill.

In just a split second, Theo waved his blade, killing all these people.

"Help—" They knew what was about to happen to them because their instinct was sharper, but they couldn’t complete his plea for lives before their heads rolled on the ground.

The people around him immediately turned around. Some of them even punched the air, sending a ranged shock wave.

Theo snapped his fingers, causing their shock wave to shatter like that of glasses.

"What?!"

"Why was my shock wave…"

They couldn’t comprehend what Theo was doing.

Theo didn’t stop there. He once again waved his sword to the people on the right.

Those whose instincts were sharper hurriedly ducked down to avoid the attacks, but to their surprise, the attack landed not on what their instincts told them. Yes, instead of their necks, the strike actually went a bit lower and hit their stomachs. But for those who were trying to avoid it by bending their knees, the sword strike ended up hitting their heads.

The people gasped in disbelief. Their instinct was supposed to tell them the real location, but was it actually a false alarm?

The real answer was that they should trust their instincts. It truly severed their necks.

In fact, some of them managed to see the people who were late to dodge get their heads flying. So, how could there be another slash? It was nothing but an illusion.

Those who didn’t realize it ended up falling to the ground, believing that they were dead. Some who managed to figure out the trick broke the illusion apart. However, Theo applied his power, the same illusion power that he got from the greatest illusionist in the Sword and Magic Realm.

Even when they broke apart the illusion, there was a deep indentation on their severed part. They even felt excruciating pain because their brain had partially registered the damage.

"Aaaahhhh!" Those people wailed while dropping to the ground, clutching their heads. The pain was so unbearable.

The disciples of the Ancient Body Sect began to panic.

Three muscular disciples stepped forward while shouting, "Are you an idiot? We are the proud Ancient Body Sect. Our body is the strongest in the world. His sword should be unable to cut us."

"Oh. It’s the three Xun brothers!" The people cheered.

They all jumped forward, attacking Theo from three different directions.

"Iron Body!" They shouted. Their muscles contracted as a wave of essence covered their bodies, making it as hard as iron.

Theo took a step forward and slashed the one in front of him.

’Idiot. My body is as hard as iron. Even a peak Foundation Establishment Expert won’t be able to penetrate my body with their strongest attack.’

Unfortunately for him, Theo proved him wrong. With a sharp and swift strike, he split his body into two.

’Eh? Why are there two…’ The guy couldn’t comprehend what had just happened, but his vision was already split into two.

Without missing a beat, Theo slashed diagonally to the left. Just like the previous guy, he was also cut into two like tofu.

The other guy didn’t have the time to react to what happened to the other two. There was only one thought in his mind: kill Theo.

Unfortunately for him, that was the best thing he could do, thinking. When he was about to punch Theo, the latter swiftly took a step back while lowering his upper body, causing the punch to miss.

After that, Theo elbowed the guy’s stomach.

"Gah!" He spat a mouthful of blood as though his organs were trembling from the shock. His body was supposed to be as hard as iron, yet Theo actually easily broke his defense as though he were a normal human.

He spat another mouthful of blood when he fell to the ground head-first. Sadly, he immediately died since Theo slashed his head right away.

"What?"

"What’s exactly happening?"

"How are the Xun brothers…"

The rest of the people were panic-stricken. They thought that Theo was just a simple person. Even if he had some power, they could overwhelm him with numbers. After all, the strength of the people entering this place was limited to the Foundation Establishment Stage or below.

So, even if Theo was at the peak of the foundation establishment stage, he would still be unable to win against them.

Yet, what transpired before their eyes was vastly different from the ones in their minds.

Theo was standing in front of them, smeared by the blood of their comrades.

All of a sudden, Theo raised his head, finding a big bell falling on top of him.

*Bam!*

The bell locked him inside. These people recognized the bell as they couldn’t help but laugh.

"That’s the Guardian Bell."

"Young Master Lin Zong has taken action."

"There is no way he can escape from that bell."

"It’s a powerful artifact granted by the sect master."

Their morale was restored after seeing this golden bell. The artifact was also exuding a massive amount of essence that Theo could easily sense.

"Do you think that you’re going to have a peaceful death after killing so many disciples?" Lin Zong gritted his teeth, glaring at the bell.

Lin Zong thought that Theo’s fate was already sealed once he was trapped inside this bell. But he was dead wrong.

In the darkness, Theo had four ways to escape. He tried the first way, which was to overpower the bell with his sword.

Without hesitation, Theo struck the bell as hard as he could, allowing the essence to spiral around.

*Deng!*

The bell vibrated heavily, taking people’s breath away. However, the vibration stopped after a moment, showing that Theo couldn’t break away from this bell.

"…" Theo felt the ringing noise in his ears, but it was still a surprise that the spirit couldn’t overwhelm this artifact. He wondered if this was the result of his lack of energy or mastery over spirit.

Nevertheless, he still had three other ways. He jumped up before kicking the top of the bell to knock it over.

But to his surprise, the bell refused to move as though it had been chained down to the ground.

"…" Theo started to understand what kind of bell this was. He stomped on the ground to see if it was possible to dig the hole and escape from below.

However, the artifact was actually responding to Theo’s attack by exuding an extraordinary amount of energy, protecting the soil underneath it. Even with Theo’s attack, he couldn’t break the ground.

Although he could overwhelm this energy if he wanted, this wasn’t his style. So, he chose the fourth option.

When people thought that they had been contained, they lowered their guards a bit.

"It seems that we’re done."

"Yes. There is no one who can escape from the golden bell."

"Even a Golden Core Stage Expert can’t do anything, let alone a Foundation Establishment Expert."

They chuckled, but amidst their victory, Theo’s figure suddenly appeared outside the bell as if he had just teleported from the inside.

"Huh?!"

"That’s…"

"What?"

"How did he escape from the bell?!" The people panicked as they raised their stances again. Their morale started to crumble. Theo could actually escape from the golden bell, even though it was supposed to contain a Golden Core Expert. Could they even defeat someone like this?

"NO!" Lin Zong roared while waving his hand. He lifted up the golden bell so that he could trap Theo again.

Little did he know, it was just Theo’s illusion. That was right. Theo made them believe that he had come out, causing Lin Zong to use the artifact to suppress him again.

However, the real Theo was actually behind the bell, standing unscathed.

While swinging his sword, Theo couldn’t help but say in a low tone, "What a fool."
