Chapter 1596
Lucjan charged out with the Blade of Justice in hand. However, Thomas, disguised as Ezekiel, and the First Blood
Emperor opted to flee. Seeing that the two were nowhere to be seen, Lucjan too chose to make his escape. After
all, he stood no chance against James alone.
By the exit of the mountain at Divine Sword Villa…
Ezekiel and the First Blood Emperor walked out.
“Are we abandoning Lucjan just like that?” The First Blood Emperor turned and looked at the cavern behind them.
Ezekiel said, “What other choice do we have? I told him that our strengths combined were no match for James’.
Turning back will only get us killed.”
“What about Dragonslayer?”
Ezekiel said, “Have no fear. Dragonslayer will be created soon. We can simply return and snatch it away from Divine
Sword Villa.”

Upon hearing this, the First Blood Emperor was at ease.
Fwoosh!
At that moment, a sound could be heard from behind.
It was Lucjan.
Upon catching up with the both of them, Lucjan chided them, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you flee at such a
critical moment?”
Ezekiel said, “James is too powerful. We don’t stand a chance against him. Fighting against him prematurely will
only get us killed. Well, at least we live to fight another day.”
“Damn it!”
Lucjan cursed.
“I will tear him to pieces! Let’s get going.”
Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand, he turned to leave..
Before they could leave, however, James had caught up. Upon seeing the trio, he yelled, “There’s nowhere for you
to run!”

He catalyzed True Energy and charged toward them, blocking their path.
The three looked at one another.
Swish!
Lucjan brandished his sword, and a powerful aura exuded from his body. Though he had planned to flee, he had no
other choice now that James had caught up to them.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel looked at the First Blood Emperor, and the two nodded. Then, they went their separate ways
and hurriedly made their escape.
“F*ck!”
Lucjan cursed.

He also wanted to flee. However, James’ gaze was fixed on him.
“Do you really think I’d be afraid of you?” Lucjan said coldly.

James glanced at the Blade of Justice before looking at Lucjan and said coldly, “Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.
Come at me.”
“Damn you!”
Lucjan’s face darkened, and he struck. His movement was as quick as lightning.
James dodged his attack with ease and struck him in the back. Lucjan staggered frontward and almost collapsed to
the ground.
James was now at the peak of the Fifth Stair and would soon cross over to the Sixth Stair. As such, his speed was
much greater than Lucjan’s, who was no longer a threat to him.
“That’s all you’ve got?”
James said nonchalantly.
“Darn it!”
After being struck, the Blood Energy inside Lucjan’s body churned.
Then, he turned and slashed with his sword. Immediately, materialized Sword Energy burst forth, which James
dodged with ease. Though Lucjan had used his full strength, he failed to injure James and was instead struck in the
back by him.
Boom!
He came crashing down from the sky and slammed against a tree, which instantly snapped in half.
