Chapter 406: Chapter 406

But right at that moment, a radiant light suddenly erupted from within Duane’s body, the Saint pressure Alex had released was instantly wiped clean.

Everyone present was shocked.

That radiant light detached from Duane and soared into the sky, and a flowing water screen poured outward, and from within it, a middle-aged man stepped forth.

He wore a pale blue robe, his face was handsome, sharp as if carved by a blade, and his eyes were cold, utterly devoid of emotion.

When his gaze swept across the entire Hale family, every single person felt a deep terror grip their hearts, as though they had been marked by something catastrophic.

Finally, the middle-aged man’s gaze settled on Alex.

"You are also a Half-Saint, then that matter can be waived." He spoke casually, as if he had just dismissed some monumental event with a single sentence.

Alex looked at the figure, his eyes narrowing slightly. "May I hear what that matter was?"

"You will know," the middle-aged man said indifferently.

"Hale family, you used the pressure of a Half-Saint to bully my disciple. Now, I want to return it to you."

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Since we will not require tributes from your Hale family, you must give an explanation for bullying my disciple."

As his voice fell, the middle-aged man raised his arm.

Before he even exerted force, an extremely terrifying pressure descended upon this patch of heaven and earth.

This was a Half-Saint, even the slightest movement from such an existence would cause the surrounding heaven and earth to tremble.

Alex moved, he merely stood up, and the pressure suppressing the entire Hale family dissolved in an instant.

At the same time, in front of the middle-aged man’s finger, water droplets continuously gathered, every single drop drawn directly from the void itself.

As the droplets multiplied, that terrifying pressure violently contended against Alex’s own.

Alex’s eyes narrowed. Is this considered my first time clashing with a Half-Saint from a hidden faction?

The next instant, Alex erupted with full force, his body-protecting divine dragon surged out, opening its giant maw and lunging straight at the middle-aged man.

"Merely a wicked dragon." The middle-aged man pointed his finger, those seemingly harmless water droplets instantly transformed into a water dragon that shot forward.

Roar! Dragon roars echoed through the heavens, with the emergence of the water dragon, a torrential rainstorm crashed down upon the entire region, curtains of water continuously washing over the Hale family grounds.

The Hale family crowd looked up at the sky, watching those two dragons continuously biting and battling each other, they felt incomparable horror rising in their chests.

Is this the battle of Half-Saints? Just a single strike and anomalies ripple through heaven and earth.

The entire Hale family was subjected to a downpour, yet not a single drop of rain touched Alex, golden light swirled around his body, making him look like an immortal god descending from above, boundlessly domineering.

During the entangling fight of the two dragons, neither man attacked the other directly. It seemed they were using the dragons to determine the victor.

Boom! The next second, the body-protecting divine dragon shattered the water dragon with a single bite.

The water dragon’s massive body exploded in mid-air, transforming into a giant curtain of water that rained down upon the Hale family.

Seeing this, Alex merely waved his hand, dispersing the falling water in an instant.

At the same time, with the water dragon’s demise, this patch of heaven and earth returned to tranquility.

"Master..." On the stage, Duane watched with extreme horror flooding his heart.

This shocked him even more than when Alex had suppressed him earlier.

A Half-Saint from this outer, lower-realm faction had actually defeated his Master, even if this was merely a wisp of his Master’s aura, it was equally terrifying.

"You win." The middle-aged man spoke, his words completely devoid of emotion.

"Hale family Saint Lord, I will remember you."

As his voice fell, his entire being slowly dissipated into the void, beneath Duane’s feet, accumulated water surfaced and swept him away without a trace.

After a brief silence, the Hale family crowd erupted into thunderous cheers.

"The Saint Lord is invincible!"

"The Saint Lord is invincible!"

"The Saint Lord is invincible!"

Alex stood in the void, gazing toward the west at that stretch of heaven and earth where the violent rainstorm still fell, making the scene inside impossible to discern with the naked eye.

After a moment of silence, a trace of disdain surfaced in Alex’s gaze. "Merely so-so."

In this exchange, although the opponent had only been a wisp of aura, Alex had already gauged their true strength, even if the opponent’s main body came in person, they would not be able to defeat him.

After Alex broke through to Half-Saint, all of his techniques had received a tremendous boost. Moreover, he still had 30,000 Providence Points left unused, that alone was enough to handle everything currently before him.

And this time, Alex could be considered to have delivered a warning beating to this so-called Blue Water Sect.

The Hale family was not that easy to bully, with him here, their Blue Water Sect could not stir up any major waves.

Alex slowly descended and returned to the head seat.

"Saint Lord, what did he mean by that sentence just now?" Tobias could not help but ask.

"He probably wanted to collect a protection fee," Alex said.

"A protection fee?" The crowd was taken aback, so that was what it was.

"This Blue Water Sect is quite rampant."

"Thankfully the Saint Lord’s strength is formidable, otherwise we really would have had to hand over our resources to them."

"The Saint Lord is invincible!"

The Hale family crowd all cheered, through just this single battle, they had clearly recognized the Saint Lord’s true strength, too terrifying, if it were not for these hidden factions, the Saint Lord truly would be unmatched in the current era.

"Lord Saint Lord, then what about the Heavenly Flame Dynasty’s side..." Cedric stepped forward and asked carefully.

"No need to manage them." Alex shook his head, he was confident he could defeat one expert from a hidden faction, but he did not have the confidence that he could still win if facing two of them simultaneously.

If these hidden factions truly wanted to make a move, Alex would be powerless to stop it all; he could only look after the Hale family.

After all, the Hale family was his foundation.
