The battle was in a stalematel

The reverberating clash of metal resonated through the air, creating a symphony of violence and bloodlust. Each

collision of their weapons emitted a powerful and resolute sound as if the very essence of battle had taken on a

melodic form.

After a half–hour of relentless combat, a resounding boom echoed through the air, shrouding the battlefield in an

electrifying silence. The two figures, like shadows cast upon a tempestuous night, abruptly disentangled

themselves, creating a void between them.

Haylan and Bernard stood apart, their eyes meeting with an unwavering intensity. The space between them was

more than 10 yards. Their gazes clashed like honed blades. The air crackled with tense electricity as if anticipating

the imminent eruption of their lethal dance.

Haylan’s clothes hung in tatters, bearing witness to the ferocity of the battle. Speckles of crimson adorned his

weary form, evidence of the wounds he had endured.

His gaze fixated upon Bernard, a concealed astonishment flickering in his eyes.

Having exerted nearly 70% of his strength in the recent bout, he contemplated the sheer power he had unleashed.

Even a god–class expert would be effortlessly subdued by such force.

Nevertheless, in the presence of Bernard, he found himself experiencing an unexpected strain.

Bernard’s garments remained intact, yet his countenance contorted into a repulsive visage.

Haylan was shocked. He was even more shocked.

He concealed his true identity with utmost proficiency. Being an unparalleled expert, there was no one in the

Whileal Kingdom who could engage him in a prolonged battle.

A god–class expert dispatched by the Special Abilities Bureau of the Whileal Kingdom arrived with the intention to

capture him but was swiftly and effortlessly killed by him.

But to his astonishment, Haylan managed to hold his ground and engage him in a fierce battle. There were several

instances where Haylan’s knife–hand strikes sent shivers down his spine.

Bernard glanced down at his clothes and then looked at Haylan. His eyes narrowed with a chilling intensity, his face

contorted with a mix of anger and disdain. Through gritted teeth, he posed the question, “Who the hell are you?”

“I should be the one asking you that, right? Mr. Bernard, who exactly are you?” Haylan asked.

“I’m Bernard, the vice dean of Massach General Hospital, and a direct descendant of one of the top ten aristocratic

families of Whileal Kingdom.”

“Stop! I mean, who is inside this body?”

“What do you mean?” Bernard’s eyes changed.

“We’re all smart people. Don’t pretend.

Haylan ripped apart his tattered shirt, baring his scarred upper body. His muscles, sculpted like an ancient statue,

glistened in the dim light.

This figure made Bernard’s eyes light up.

However, what Haylan said in the next second made his eyes turn colder and colder.

“Based on my findings, Bernard was once known for his kindness. He was an excellent doctor treated people with

genuine. Moreover, he wasn’t particularly powerful, perhaps just a one–star, lord–class individual.

“However, after falling into the bat cave, he seemed to have become a different person. He became especially

cold, cunning, and mercenary

“Most importantly, his strength has become very strong. In five years, he has cultivated from one–star Lord to god–

class. He can even fight me to a draw.”

At this point, Haylan’s eyes became even colder as he stared at Bernard. “So, I’ve concluded one thing. The real

Bernard is no longer there.

“Now, it’s replaced by another personality.

“When individuals find themselves in a state of extreme panic, they can develop a severe emergency response

disorder. This can lead to significant shifts in their personality, sometimes giving rise to a defensive, even

malevolent, side to protect themselves.

“So, you’re either suffering from psychosis or you’ve been possessed by some evil spirit.

“After fighting with you for so long. I’m certain that it’s the latter!

“What’s inside Bernard’s body now isn’t his true soul, but another soul.

Chapter 758

“So, who exactly are you?”

During the day and night that he had been following Bernard, he had also gotten someone to investigate this

person’s background.

After coming out of the Bat Cave, Bernard acted completely differently.

In the battle with Bernard just now, he felt it.

Bernard’s every move was fatal. He extremely cunning and vicious.

If Haylan didn’t pay attention, he might have been killed.

From this, it could be seen that Bernard was definitely not an ordinary person. At the very least, he was no longer

the same person as before.

“I still don’t understand what you’re talking about. Bernard stared at Haylan, his eyes flashing with murderous aura.

As he spoke, he threw the saber.

Boom!

The saber stabbed into a control mechanism, and the door of the underground cave closed with a bang, sealing the

place.

“Haylan, you forced me!” Bernard said coldly.

Since Haylan knew his biggest secret, he definitely could not let Haylan leave.

numerous crimes.

Therefore, he had a strong will to kill Bernard.

“Do you believe you can take my life?” Bernard sneered

“Yes, I can!” Haylan said coldly.

Clank!

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

In the blink of an eye, as if materializing out of thin air, Haylan reappeared before Bernard like a specter. His knife–

hand strike moved with lightning speed, aimed directly at Bernard’s throat.

Anticipating Haylan’s attack, Bernard swiftly reacted, his saber slashing fiercely to counter the incoming strike from

Haylan’s hand knife. The clash between the two weapons resounded with a sharp metallic clang.

Clang!

The forceful collision between the hand knife strike and the saber created a thunderous cacophony of clashing

metal, echoing through the air with a resounding intensity.

From their epicenter, waves of blade beams radiated in all directions, tearing through the surrounding space with

devastating force. The ground beneath them shattered and crumbled, giving way to a deep pit formed by the sheer

power of their clash.

“Hm?”

Witnessing the scene, Bernard’s expression morphed into one of shock and disbelief. His eyes widened with

astonishment. He saw a human effectively withstood the force of his family’s treasured saber. How was it possible

“Huh?” Haylan was also a little shocked.

This saber didn’t break after hitting his knife–hand strike. “Nice quality!” Haylan thought.

With a disdainful sneer, Bernard taunted Haylan, “You may possess some skill, but you are still a hundred years too

early to believe you can kill me.”

Buzz!

As he spoke, an unimaginably formidable surge of energy erupted from Bernard’s body, enveloping the

surroundings in an aura of sheer terror

He stood there, akin to a malevolent demon, his presence exuding an aura of unmatched darkness that seemed to

have emerged from the depths of hell.

A profound sense of dread washed over Haylan, causing his countenance to contort in sheer astonishment. His very

hair stood on end

At this moment, Bernard made his move.

The saber slashed at Haylan at lightning speed!

It was very fast!

This slash was so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye

It left not even a shadow!

The razor–sharp blade beam surged forward, tearing through the air with a thunderous force. Its impact upon the

ground was so immense that the earth quivered and cracked.

Haylan’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately raised his hand to block.

Clang!

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves.

The sound of metal clashing echoed incessantly!

In fact, the two of them even turned into two afterimages because of the fast movement of the combatant and

fought in the entire underground cave.

He could only see light and shadows. He could only hear voices, but he could not see a single person. He could only

see neo balls of light and shadows moving.

Their movements were a blur of speed and agility as they traversed the underground cave. A clash of titans
