Chapter 1477 Ramon&##x27;s Loss

"Captain Xavier, please!" Ramon said nothing more except gesture.

"It appears I have underestimated you, Captain Raman. I knew you could win one or two rounds at
most, but I never expected you to achieve them all in one go. That’s no easy feat!" Xavier admitted
dismally.

"All I did was give it my best during the battles. I thought about nothing else," Ramon replied calmly.

"Good for you. However, that’s where you’ll have to stop. You’ll certainly lose this round. Don’t even
think about securing the spot of Security Hall leader. You’re not qualified for it!" Xavier exclaimed with
disdain.

"Captain Xavier, since we share the same title, wouldn’t that make you just as unqualified?" Ramon
retorted.

"Don’t you dare compare me to you!" Xavier replied arrogantly.

"Cut the crap. Let’s fight!" Ramon exclaimed with a cold scowl.

Xavier’s disrespect was no surprise. He quickly unsheathed the Blood Sword behind him as it morphed
into a red shadow that rushed towards Ramon.

Unlike all their previous confrontations, Ramon wasn’t passive this time with Xavier’s attack. He knew
that the latter’s power wasn’t that of a newcomer’s as their strengths were evenly matched. Since he
was able to break through into his current level in half a month, he knew that Xavier could have also
made great improvement. Moreover, Xavier’s master was one of the elders of the Sword Spirit Sect
whose status was next in line to the sect leader and sword guardians. Ramon knew he needed to go all
out this time or he’d have no chance of defeating his opponent.



Just as Ramon expected, Xavier’s movements became more fluid and flexible. They were nothing like
the furious and impulsive flows from before. His blows also came at tricky angles that were hard to
defend against.

Fortunately, he had received secret training back at the Black-devouring Swamp which allowed him to
easily dodge and avoid multiple attacks from various angles.

In theory, Xavier should’ve had the advantage. However, it was now a well-matched battle. Now the
real fun began with both of them reaching levels of power that surpassed those of the senior warriors at
the King Realm.

An hour had swiftly passed but the two of them remained evenly matched. The rules stated that Xavier
had to defeat Ramon in two hours. Otherwise, Ramon would successfully defend his position as the
current champion.

So when Xavier realized that Ramon was harder to deal with than he initially expected, he decided to
use his trump card—the bloodthirsty body technique. When this body technique was used, his strength
surged swiftly and his sword-wielding skills became quicker than before.

On the other hand, Ramon had expected such a stalemate. Observing Xavier’s power increase tenfold,
he avoided a direct attack and took a roundabout tactic instead. This would allow him to avoid his
opponent’s sword while trying to exhaust his power to a lower level too. Xavier wouldn’t be able to
maintain the body technique once his power became insufficient.

Yet, Xavier knew exactly what Ramon was thinking. So, the former wouldn’t allow the latter another
chance to buy time.

"Seal the sky!" Xavier suddenly ordered. The Blood Sword was shoved less than a meter away from
Ramon into the ground. Out of nowhere, eight streams of sword auras rushed in various directions and
left eight sword marks on the ground.



This was just the beginning. Not long after, the eight more sword marks gushed out of surging sword
auras and intertwined with each other. Together, they formed a dense sword aura that quickly sealed
off everything within a hundred meters.

Even when he realized he was trapped, Ramon didn’t panic. Although he was in the middle of the
violent sword array, he remained calm and focused on defending himself from what would come next.

However, the sword array was created by Joseph—a powerful elder of the Sword Spirit Sect. Also,
even a more powerful spirit warrior was highly unlikely to break the array.

The resulting impact of the sword aura left Ramon covered from head to toe in wounds. However, his
will and determination weren't as damaged. He would not give up.

"It seems Ramon has lost," Tessa commented regretfully.

Rocky nodded in agreement. Ramon had suffered a tremendous loss of strength as he fought Xavier at
full strength. It was also discovered that this was due to Xavier's unique body technique and his sword
array being far stronger than others. Ramon's defeat appeared inevitable at that point.

But then, Rocky noticed something wrong as Xavier had disappeared out of thin air.

"Damn it!" Rocky shouted through narrowed eyes as he too disappeared from where he sat.

Ramon, who was unable to hold on in the sword array, noticed a shadow suddenly pass in front of him.
A blood-red spiritual sword appeared and then hovered just above his throat.

"Xavier, you..." Ramon was stunned. He didn’t expect Xavier’s intention to kill him until now.

"Go to hell!" Xavier was determined to kill his opponent.



Because Ramon had suffered tremendously from the power of the sword array, he wouldn’t be able to
defend himself for a while. He would only be able to use his spiritual sword which was just an ordinary
one compared to Xavier's mighty Blood Sword.

Quickly, Ramon's sword was split into two by the Blood Sword that was now slicing through the air and
towards his throat.

In the nick of time,

when the weapon was less than an inch away from slicing into Ramon's flesh, a hand suddenly
appeared and grabbed its hilt. A powerful force that Xavier could stand up against suddenly rushed in.

Xavier felt a wave of power, which was far powerful than his own, rush through his veins, making him
feel intimidated. His expression changed drastically as he immediately withdrew his sword and flew
back.

Due to the powerful impact, the Blood Sword whirled into an arc before it was embedded into the
ground not far away.

Xavier looked up at the figure that stopped him. Once he was able to see clearly, he was furious upon
realizing it was no one else but Rocky.

All the onlookers thought what happened between Xavier and Raman was reasonable and acceptable.
So, when they witnessed Rocky's sudden intervention, they began to boo as a sign of their
dissatisfaction.

"Basil, what are you doing? Why did you stop the competition abruptly?" Harrison asked him with a
frown. He too felt that his interference in the battle was unnecessary.



"I apologize, sir. Captain Ramon was in danger, so, out of habit, I stopped everything to defend him,"
Rocky replied with clasped hands.

"Really? Well, I think Captain Xavier knows what he’s doing." What Harrison didn't know, however, was
that Xavier was ready to slaughter Ramon.

"It appears I just worried too much. But Captain Ramon has been seriously injured, so I will be
admitting defeat on his behalf. I will battle Captain Xavier instead!" Rocky replied as he gazed back at
Ramon.

The crowd fell silent as his words fell on their ears.

No one had expected Rocky to challenge Xavier so openly after the sudden intervention earlier. He had
undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. With his current strength, he wasn’t exactly in the best state to
challenge Xavier.

"Well, carry on then!" Harrison said nothing more. Once Ramon was attacked by Xavier's sword array,
he undoubtedly lost the battle. So it was reasonable for Rocky to challenge the new champion, Xavier,
in the next round.
