Chapter 398: Old Woman, You’re So Rude!
Who asked this question if not Jun Chester?
However, Jun Chester’s tone carried not only obvious confusion but also some disappointment. It can be said that before coming to Mount Emei, Jun Chester had high expectations for Margaret Lovall. Deep down, he believed that Margaret Lovall, someone so highly regarded by many, would undoubtedly be very impressive!
Even Eric Chester had to be wary of her to some extent, so her strength must be incredibly inspiring! But now it seems… it’s not much more than that!
Although she was able to hold her sword against Byron Ortega’s neck, her speed in attacking, in her own view… was still too slow! Is she truly the fearsome Margaret Lovall? If she really is Margaret Lovall… then… it’s quite disappointing!
However, at this moment, Margaret Lovall, although she heard Jun Chester’s question, was momentarily distracted by it.
However, she didn’t pay it much mind! The sword in her hand only paused slightly before she continued to strike at Byron Ortega’s head.
But it was in this instant that Byron Ortega’s momentum suddenly surged. First, he tilted his head to dodge Margaret Lovall’s sword, and at the same time, his right fist, hidden under his ribs, fiercely struck towards Margaret Lovall!
Boom! This punch was incredibly powerful, and its speed was like lightning! It hit Margaret Lovall three inches below her ribs!
But before Margaret Lovall could be sent flying by this punch, Byron Ortega followed up with three more punches, each faster than the previous one!
And on the fifth punch after the continuous four punches, Margaret Lovall was sent flying hundreds of meters away!
Wherever she passed, every century-old tree that was hit by her exploded without exception! For a while, the entire Hundred Grass Forest was filled with flying leaves and splintered wood!
This shocking scene left everyone present, except Jun Chester, completely dumbfounded! Even Byron Ortega himself hadn’t expected that his current strength would be so terrifying!
This… all originated from Master Chester’s guidance!
Now, look at Margaret Lovall. Boom! Her body had crashed into a huge boulder nearly a kilometer away.
This boulder was about nine meters high and thirty meters wide, and after being struck by Margaret Lovall, it shattered like a spider’s web! Huh!
However, Margaret Lovall only let out a muffled sound, and although blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, she seemed to be unharmed!
In an instant, Margaret Lovall bounced up from the ground. One hand holding the sword! The other hand protecting the three-inch spot below her ribs!
Her long hair was disheveled! The expression on her face was that of facing a formidable enemy! The shock in her heart was indescribable!
She never imagined that even after taking a Vitality-Opening Golden Pill before coming, she was still no match for Byron Ortega, who had consumed the Purple Twin Python!
Meanwhile, Byron Ortega did not continue to attack Margaret Lovall but instead looked at Jun Chester. His eyes were filled with excitement, as if expressing gratitude in this way!
However, Jun Chester didn’t pay much attention to Byron Ortega and with a flick of his foot, he disappeared from his original position!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared not far in front of Margaret Lovall. Naturally, Byron Ortega followed suit.
It was at this moment that Margaret Lovall let out another muffled sound and coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Feeling as if her left rib had been cracked, Margaret Lovall tightened her grip on the long sword, but her strength was not what it used to be.
At this moment, Margaret Lovall dared not make any reckless moves. She first glanced at Byron Ortega and realized he had no intention of continuing the confrontation.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Only then did she turn her gaze to Jun Chester, her eyes filled with resentment, as she questioned, “Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt my thoughts earlier!”
Jun Chester paused for a moment, slightly puzzled, and asked in return, “What, don’t you recognize me?”
Margaret Lovall snorted coldly, refraining from saying more, only considering the possibility that this person might be Byron Ortega’s disciple.
Meanwhile, she thought to herself that she couldn’t afford to focus her attention on this insignificant young man anymore. She had to find a way to hold Byron Ortega back and wait for the rescue of the seven elders from the Pinkriver Temple’s underground palace.
With this in mind, Margaret Lovall looked coldly at Byron Ortega and sorrowfully uttered, “It seems Myrtle truly fell victim to you.”
A strange expression flashed across Byron Ortega’s face, but instead of hurriedly denying it, he counter-questioned, “Junior sister, after all these years, is this the extent of your strength?”
Margaret Lovall angrily retorted, “If it weren’t for you taking Myrtle’s python gall, I would kill you as easily as slaughtering a chicken!”
Byron Ortega chuckled. “If you really had consumed the Purple Twin Python’s gall, under my five punches, you wouldn’t even be able to keep your limbs!”
“However, to be honest, you have indeed surprised me!”
“To actually break through the limits of the Tenth Realm of martial energy and enter the Second Realm of Heavenly Pill!”
“But, unfortunately, even though you’ve entered the Second Realm of Heavenly Pill, I have just stepped into the Third Realm of Heavenly Pill!”
As these words came out, regardless of Margaret Lovall’s emotions, Jun Chester, who was not far away, had a hint of confusion on his face.
“The Second and Third Realms of Heavenly Pill? What does that mean?”
Byron Ortega was stunned for a moment, looking at Jun Chester with surprise, and for a moment, he seemed at a loss for words.
Subconsciously, he thought to himself…
Is Master Chester joking with him?
Could it be that he doesn’t even understand the level classification of the martial path?
In reality, Jun Chester had a very shallow understanding of the level classification of the martial path.
It could be said that he had never really cared about the level classification of the martial path.
Since Jun Chester stepped onto the martial path, his whole focus had been on moving forward!
As for where he had reached and what realm his current strength had reached, it was not important to him!
Jun Chester always believed that in martial arts, it was simple: when it’s time to fight, either stand or lie down. That’s all there is to it!
But in the eyes of other martial artists, the level classification of the martial path was of utmost importance.
On the martial path, one starts with training the energy.
Clear energy, dark energy, transformed energy, pill energy, gang energy, profound energy…
And even divine energy, Tao energy!
As for advancing further…
It was to embrace the pill!
And embracing the pill and tempering the body were divided into four types.
Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
By practicing the martial energy using these four methods of embracing the pill and tempering the body, one could reach the limit of human potential!
For ordinary martial artists, if they could cultivate the martial energy to the Tenth Realm using the four methods of embracing the pill under the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow categories…
Able to overlook the heroes!
But beyond the ten realms of martial strength cultivation is the restraint of the Heavenly Pillar!
Once the Heavenly Pillar is broken, one will enter a watershed-like realm!
It is what Byron Ortega just referred to as the realm of the Heavenly Pillar!
As for the realm of the Heavenly Pillar, in Byron Ortega’s view, it is similar to the ten realms of martial strength, consisting of ten realms as well!
Three embraces of the Heavenly Pillar form one realm!
Currently, Byron Ortega, before receiving guidance from Jun Chester, was at the second realm of the Heavenly Pillar!
But after receiving guidance from Jun Chester, he reached the third realm of the Heavenly Pillar!
In other words, the current Byron Ortega has become a super warrior who has embraced the Heavenly Pillar nine times!
As for Margaret Lovall, she has embraced the Heavenly Pillar six times.
In short, the path of martial arts has been studied by predecessors for thousands of years, and when it comes to the details, it becomes extremely intricate and complex!
However, as Margaret Lovall looked into Byron Ortega’s true realm, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes.
But more than that, there was a strong sense of doubt.
The surprise was that Byron Ortega was only at the third realm of the Heavenly Pillar!
This clearly meant that as long as the Seven Elders of Emei Mountain came to rescue her and joined forces, they could definitely defeat him!
However, the doubt was…
What did Byron Ortega mean by what he just said?
What does it mean that if he truly took the Purple Twin Python’s gallbladder, she would be left limbless under his five punches?
Could it be that…
Byron Ortega hasn’t actually taken the Purple Twin Python’s gallbladder?
While Margaret Lovall was pondering this, Jun Chester finally asked her again.
“Margaret Lovall, do you really not know who I am?”
Margaret Lovall impatiently glanced at Jun Chester, ignoring him completely, and continued to look at Byron Ortega.
She sneered.
“Just at the third realm of the Heavenly Pillar? I thought after you killed Myrtle, your strength had already reached a higher level! Now it seems, it’s nothing special!”
Byron Ortega slightly furrowed his brow, looked at Jun Chester, and reminded Margaret Lovall with a sentence.
“Sister apprentice, pay attention, he’s asking you a question.”
Margaret Lovall took a deep breath, tightly gripped the long sword in her hand with all her strength, and finally looked directly at Jun Chester, coldly asking a question.
“Are you one of the disciples Byron Ortega has been nurturing all these years? You do have some martial aura on you! But unfortunately, your life won’t be long!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Margaret Lovall’s progress was as fast as lightning, and the long sword swiftly moved, instantly arriving in front of Jun Chester.
The sword edge was like a rainbow, aiming for Jun Chester’s head!
However, in that instant, a protective aura surrounded Jun Chester!
His whole person was enveloped in a protective aura composed of countless sword lights, preventing Margaret Lovall and her long sword from getting close!
Swoosh!
Centered on Jun Chester, innumerable sword-like auras scattered in all directions!
Margaret Lovall suddenly felt a chill.
Her purple robe was completely shattered by the countless invisible sword auras emanating from Jun Chester’s body!
In that moment, Margaret Lovall felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
At the same time, Jun Chester furrowed his brow, carefully examining Margaret Lovall, and said a sentence.
“Old woman, you’re very disrespectful!”
