The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 1066

Dean said, "Alright, wait here. Once I kill Felix, we'll head out."

The Maximus family was on the verge of ruling Martial City, and killing Felix was just one step in the process. Now that they knew he was in Corpse Town, there was no way they would let him slip away.

Dean grabbed some blue powder and left the courtyard. While Corpse Town was fairly large, it would not take him long to track someone down at his speed. As soon as he stepped out, though, he spotted Felix casually walking out of an alley.

"Felix!" Dean's eyes gleamed with intensity. He had speculated that Felix might be here, but seeing him in the flesh was an entirely different feeling.

Felix chuckled from across the way. "Heh! I didn't expect the Maximus family to be hiding here. Surviving in Corpse Town, huh? Must be thanks to that fancy blue shield of yours."

Dean was not about to waste any more time with words. Without warning, he lunged forward, launching a powerful attack.

Felix did not back down and retaliated instantly. As they clashed, Felix could sense that he was not far from advancing to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. For now, he decided to play along and test his strength, all while forming a plan in his mind.
