Chapter 2301
Looking at the situation, it did not seem like there was a way to stop it anymore. Samson looked at Jackie with a panicked expression, “White, are you crazy? If you fight him on your own, you’ll be killed!”

Jackie shook his head slightly, ignoring everything that was said. Zamian laughed loudly as he pointed at Jackie, “You’re crazy! You really don’t know your place. Rufus, this brat is challenging you, so you’d better not spare him any mercy. You have to show him what it means to challenge you!”

Rufus acted like he was ignoring Zamian’s words, but those words successfully made Rufus’ anger toward Jackie, peaked. To be challenged by an insignificant brat like that, if Rufus did not properly teach Jackie a lesson, it would mean that his skills were not good enough.

With that in mind, he ignored everything else as he launched himself forward, sword in hand. He rushed at Jackie, and Jackie smiled lightly, not even turning around as he said, “The rest of you retreat far away!”

Everyone else reacted immediately when they heard Jackie. Even though everyone was dubious of Jackie, the battle would definitely be intense. It would not do for them to be caught up within it.

So, when Jackie shouted out, they scattered. In a flash, the center was left with only Jackie and Rufus, who was rushing toward him.

The meter-long blade in Rufus’ hand radiated with coldness. Wherever he went turned cold to the limits. Even the blood-red soil on the ground was covered with a layer of white.

Despite the rest of them distancing themselves, they still managed to feel the intense coldness that radiated from Rufus’ body. That chill was even cold enough to stop the flow of true energy.

Jackie raised his eyebrow, not expecting Rufus to have that up his sleeves. Jackie retreated a few steps, maintaining a certain amount of distance from Rufus.

The Corpse Pavilion’s disciples were all shouting Rufus’ name, cheering for him. Naturally, Rufus did not need that at all.

Zamian loudly declared, “Rufus is amazing. He’s already elementary Earth level skills, and is already proficient!

“Even Benjamin from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion can only fight to a draw against Rufus!”

Benjamin was the second place disciple from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion in the Secret Place for Resources, and was one of the five who arrived at the sixth stage!

Of course, Zamian’s actions were all just boasting, but Byron and the others had a sour look on their faces. They did not expect Rufus to have trained in Earth level skills.

The rest of them were not even close to that level. After all, skills of that level needed an extremely high level of comprehension, as well as a certain level of strength.

After all, without being at a certain level, it would be impossible to even comprehend the intricacies of an Earth level martial skill. Only those talented masters who were at the level of defeating practically every other disciple could learn them.

Byron let out a long breath, being forced to admit that his talent was lower than Rufus. He was only at the level of red martial skills, they were far too different!

Furthermore, the fact that Rufus was not only training but was already proficient was what caused Byron and the others to be in disbelief.

This was something regular disciples could never hope to do. Hayden and the others had a bitter smile on their faces as they shook their heads silently, already mourning Jackie in their hearts.

Chapter 2302
Jackie was absolutely no match for Rufus! Earlier, Zamian’s boasts had naturally been heard by Jackie as well. Jackie slightly smiled, Earth level elementary skills?

It might be something unattainable for those present, but it was nothing to Jackie!

Thirty-five Soul Swords gathered inside the black sword. A radiant black glow came from the blade! As Rufus’ sword was swinging down thunderously, Jackie launched his attack too!

Everyone heard an incredibly loud bang, Soul Frost and Destroying the Void clashed together viciously. The dark light suddenly enveloped the cold blue light.

The two of them clashed mid-air, and in just a moment, cracking sounds could be heard.

The cold blue light had been shattered into pieces of snow. They were blown away by the wind as they fell to the ground. Jackie’s Destroying the Void did not lose a beat. After destroying the Soul Frost, it slashed right at Rufus.

From the start, Rufus had never even thought that he would lose to the masked brat in front of him. He had thought that there was no way his Soul Frost could have been blocked.

The brat would have been turned to ice, and Rufus would only have to send out a kick to shatter the brat’s body into pieces.

Yet, what he had expected did not happen. Soul Frost was actually broken by the brat’s technique. Not only that, the technique was still hurling toward him.

At that moment, Rufus was spent and did not have the strength anymore to block Destroying the Void. Nonetheless, he was still a chosen disciple of the Corpse Pavilion, so he had plenty of experience in combat.

Since he knew he could not block that technique, he would do his best to ensure that his injuries were kept to a minimum. He activated his true energy and quickly fled to the side.

However, Destroying the Void had been less than a meter away from Rufus, so there had been no way for Rufus to completely avoid it. With a piercing sound, the technique found its way through Rufus’ left shoulder.

Everyone widened their eyes as they looked over. They did not see a drop of blood, but Rufus’ face looked like he had lost all his blood. It was completely pale as he shouted, “Ah! What the hell is this!”

The pain coming from the soul was not something a regular person could withstand. Rufus felt like tens of thousands of ants were biting at the spot that was pierced, and the pain continued to intensify.

The technique Jackie had used not only pierced his shoulder but was also destroying his soul. Rufus used the true energy of his whole body in an attempt to stop Destroying the Void from rotting his soul.

However, that power was incredibly strange. Even with Rufus trying to suppress it with all his might, it merely slowed it down. He was still in so much pain that his entire body trembled!

With a stumble, he started to fall from the air, landing violently on the ground. Everyone looked at the sight in disbelief.

Rufus’ Soul Frost had looked so incredibly strong. Everyone had felt its power, but White’ technique seemed to have a mysterious power. None of them felt any intense energy fluctuations at all.

However, it actually had such a big impact. It destroyed an elementary Earth level skill, and even injured Rufus!

Rufus had basically lost in just one move.

“How is this possible!” Hayden’s voice was trembling slightly.

He did not dare to believe what he witnessed before him. There was no one there who did not know of Rufus’ skill as a disciple who was second only to Lennon.

Chapter 2303
Someone like that had still proven to be no match for White! Who was White? Why have they never heard of him before?

Samson let out a sigh of relief, “No wonder he was able to save us. I thought it was just a coincidence, but he really is that skilled!”

At that moment, Isaiah slowly reacted. His lips trembled slightly, not knowing what to say. Byron’s eyes were wide, looking at Jackie floating in the air with a look of disbelief.

Zamian looked like he had just stepped on a needle, his mouth was widened, but not a single word came out! All of the disciples from the Corpse Pavilion were gaping similarly, not able to utter a single word!

The shock of what they had witnessed had been far too much for them. They would never in a thousand years have expected Rufus, who had never been defeated, to have lost at the hands of an anonymous brat.

Jackie raised an eyebrow as he set his cold gaze on Zamian. Zamian shuddered at the gaze, and he felt a chill on his back. It was as if he would be killed by Jackie at the next moment.

He could not help but take two steps back, and at that precise moment, Rufus’ trembling voice could be heard, “Why haven’t you helped me up!”

Hearing that, the Corpse Pavilion disciples broke out of their stupor and rushed out, chaotically helping Rufus up.

Rufus’ entire body was trembling from the pain. His left hand clutched where he was pierced. Even his breath was erratic. The whole scene felt strange.
