Chapter 638 - Powerful Old Man

Chapter 638 - Powerful Old Man

The Wind Elementalist from the Blue Wind Empire and the Fire Elementalist from the Qilin Empire exchanged glances, and shock was written on their faces. This was a battle they all felt he would've been able to resolve easily, but from how things were turning out, it was already easy to see that Oliver would most likely come out on top, especially now that they've lost two of their partners.

"I don't believe he can defeat us," The Fire Elementalist reinforced his will and charged at Oliver.

Even with how things were, he was still very confident in himself.

The Wind Elementalist looked at him before following suit. He couldn't be the one that would cower in front of Oliver.

The Lightning Elementalist Oliver defeated the first time was a little shaken by what he was witnessing. If he were told to face these four people, he was certain that the most he could do was to defend, and in the end, he would still lose. But Oliver not only defended himself, but he also took out two of the four people in the process.

"I underestimated him," He muttered under his breath.

The old men from the Qilin Empire looked at him when he heard his statement, before turning his gaze back to Oliver, "We all did,"

Swoosh! Boom! Bang!

The battle started once again, and the Fire Elementalist brought out everything he had, attacking with the intent to kill.

The Wind Elementalist decided to act as his support. Rather than attacking Oliver, he would occasionally distract him, giving the Fire Elementalist the chance to deal a fatal blow.

Oliver quickly realized their plans, and immediately changed his attack method. If he were a little careless, then he might lose his life.

Boom!

Oliver's attack and the Fire Elementalist's attack collided, causing a large explosion.

Buzz!

Oliver, who was covered with lightning shot past the explosion, charging at the unsuspecting Fire Elementalist. Just as he was about to get close to his target, a tornado rose from the ground, instantly placing him in the middle.

With the tornado stopping him, the Fire Elementalist threw a large ball of fire into the tornado, turning the tornado into a sea of flames.

Grey and his friends tried to move forward, however, they were unable to take a step forward.

Blake took a step forward, but a strong hand held him, turning around, he saw old man Gerald shaking his head lightly at him. He understood what he meant, but he couldn't just watch.

"Going will only make things difficult for him," Old man Gerald said.

Blake clenched his fists so tight that one would think he wanted to destroy his hands.

Delia looked at the scene with tears welling up in her eyes, she couldn't help but hate her weakness.

Crack! Boom!

A large lightning bolt ran across the sky, before falling down into the tornado that was made of flames.

With the addition of the lightning, the tornado's intensity increased for a few seconds, before it burst apart, and a figure covered in lightning appeared in the view of everyone.

As soon as Oliver came into view, he moved instantly. He was so fast that he unconsciously created an afterimage.

The lightning figure hadn't disappeared, but Oliver was already standing in front of the Wind Elementalist, without giving him any chances to move, he attacked once, ruthlessly.

With the Wind Elementalist out, he chased after the Fire Elementalist.

On seeing how Oliver quickly incapacitated the Wind Elementalist, it finally dawned on everyone here that he could take out all four people who fought against him.

The Fire Elementalist didn't get far before he was stopped by Oliver who attacked without a second thought.

The Fire Elementalist scrambled to block his attacks, but the strength and speed of each lightning bolt were just too strong. In a couple of seconds, the Fire Elementalist fell from the sky, slamming into the ground.

Oliver moved in the direction of the group holding the youngsters captive.

"Let them go," He uttered slowly.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from behind the group from the Azure Empire, and an old man stepped forward.

When the twins from the Qilin Empire saw this old man, fear unknowingly appeared on their faces.

They had heard of this old man when they were still young. It was said that he was one of the main forces of the Azure Empire, he was also the reason the Constantine family was unable to take over the Azure Empire and resorted to breaking out, forming the Qilin Empire.

They would never have thought that such a figure was still alive. Even they themselves were already regarded as old bones, yet this old man was still here. They didn't know what they would regard him as.

"Boy, get down," The old man said gently.

His voice was gentle, but to Oliver, it felt like the world was coming down on him. He couldn't support himself mid-air any longer and fell to the ground.

Everyone turned to look at the old man, all short of words.

All it took was a simple word from the old man, and Oliver who had been defeating people left and right lost his ability to fly.

Grey's pupils contracted when he saw this. The old man used a strange ability when he spoke those words a few seconds ago, although he didn't know what it was, he could feel that it had to do with the earth element.

Oliver on the other hand was having a difficult time keeping himself standing. He could feel a terrifying gravitational force pushing him down, the more he tried to fight against it, the stronger the force.

He looked at the old man who was standing in front of the group from the Azure Empire, and his face distorted.

The old man was in the Fourth stage of the Sage Plane. This was the only person he had seen that had gone above the Early stages of the Sage Plane.

Not just Oliver, but everyone present here that was in the Sage Plane was stunned by the old man's cultivation stage.
