It was clear that Tapio thought highly of himself and his skills.
In response to James’ questions, he demanded that James defeat him in battle first.
“Alright.”
James knew it was useless to try and get anything more out of him at the moment.
He gripped the hilt of his sword even tighter.
The Blade of Justice’s true form had recently been unsealed.
In the past, the Blade of Justice was just a relatively sharp weapon that did not possess any particularly distinguishing qualities.
Now, it was in its true form.
While holding onto the Blade of Justice, James could clearly sense a palpable power coming from it.
The sword’s innate strength would surely increase the power of his Sword Energies.
He held the long sword horizontally, and invisible energy rippled in the air.
“Where’s your weapon?” James asked calmly.
“I don’t need a weapon to defeat you.”
“Haha…” James laughed incredulously.
He killed an eighth-ranked grandmaster while he was still in the seventh rank.
Mr. Yaakov was old and sustained injuries from his previous battles so he technically could not bring his full strength as an eighth-rank grandmaster to bear against James. However, he still proved an extremely challenging opponent.
After he had let out his disdainful chuckle, James immediately lunged forward with his sword.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Tapio.
He thrust the Blade of Justice at Tapio’s vitals.
Tapio stood still in the same spot. Seeing James’ sword plunging toward him, he glided backward like a phantom. At the same time, he thrust his palm at James’ body.
His palm attack was executed effortlessly but in actual fact, it held a terrifying strength.
The powerful attack struck the Blade of Justice.
Tapio countered with great speed. So much so that James did not have time to block it.
Clank!
The Blade of Justice let off a noisy, clang as it bore Tapio’s attack.
A strong opposing force surged into James' body through the Blade of Justice. The Blood Energy in his body began to churn tumultuously.
Warmth surged up his throat, and blood filled his mouth.
James forced himself to swallow the mouthful of blood.
‘What incredible power.’ James gaped at his enemy in horror.
He had fought against other eighth-ranked grandmasters such as Yaakov. However, Yaakov’s strength was far inferior to Tapio's.
The force blasted James away.
