“Willow, are you okay?” Caspian held Willow tightly.

Then, he sized her up and down. After confirming she was unharmed, he finally relaxed.
Although they had been apart for more than a few hours, Caspian was extremely worried.
He had never been this worried, even when he faced a million army.
“Hubby, I’m fine. Don’t worry. He didn’t do anything to me.” Willow blinked her watery eyes and nestled tightly against Caspian’s chest.
At that moment, she realized how much she had come to rely on him.
Despite the previous kidnapping and the recent unexpected event, her immediate desire was to see Caspian as soon as possible.
Only by his side did she feel secure.
“I’m relieved that you’re okay.” Caspian caressed Willow’s cheek.
Then, he turned to The Reaper with a stern expression. “I didn’t expect you to keep your word and not harm my wife.”
“I have my principles and boundaries. Besides, my target is you. Your wife is indeed beautiful, but I have no interest in her,” The Reaper replied with an impassive face.
He was solely focused on seeking revenge against Caspian..
Despite kidnapping Willow, he hadn’t harmed her. This made Caspian admire him.
“You’ve achieved your goal. What’s next?” Caspian asked The Reaper coldly.
With a swish, The Reaper drew a sharp longsword from his back. The sword’s glint shimmered under the moonlight.
“Let’s settle things between us today!” His gaze was firm as he gripped the sword.
“This is pointless. You’re not my match. Why would you choose this path to your demise? Is Leonardo truly worth it for you to sacrifice your life?” Caspian questioned calmly.
He couldn’t understand why The Reaper still chose to fight even if he knew he couldn’t win. The Reaper fell silent for a moment before saying, “I know I can’t beat you, and I know this will be my end. I even thought of using cruel methods against you, like harming your wife!
“But I am a martial artist. I have my
boundaries.
“I’d rather fight you than live like a coward, and I certainly won’t use despicable means

His eyes revealed a resolute determination.
Hearing this, Caspian’s heart trembled. His respect for The Reaper deepened.
Although The Reaper’s strength might not be top–tier, his behavior and unmatched by many practitioners nowadays.

However, he was the enemy who abducted Willow. This was something Caspian couldn’t tolerate.
“You can escape, go anywhere you want, and I won’t chase after you. It’s not worth it to die for Leonardo!” Caspian stated.
In truth, he didn’t intend to kill him.
In Caspian’s eyes, The Reaper posed no real threat and wasn’t worth a major confrontation.
The Reaper also understood Caspian’s reasoning. He could certainly choose to flee.
However, Leonardo had been kind to him. Now that Leonardo had been killed by Caspian, he sought revenge for him.
He had joined Mahayan Pavilion to seek vengeance.
On the surface, it seemed like The Reaper had been trying his best all along to avenge Leonardo.
But only he knew why he was doing this.
“You don’t understand! Back then, I was reckless and offended many. I was nearly killed.
“It was Sir Leon who helped me out of trouble and saved my life. Sir Leon was kind to me, so I owe him. I have to repay this debt of vengeance to him!
“Even if I know I can’t achieve it, I’ll try my best! Otherwise, even if I live, I’ll be guilty for life!
Determination was written on The Reaper’s face.
Upon hearing this, Caspian was moved.
The Reaper was a man of honor, driven by chivalry.
For his benefactor, he was willing to face death!
“If you’re seeking death wholeheartedly, then I’ll grant it.” Caspian didn’t waste any more
time.
He understood that The Reaper was determined to die!
“Let’s begin!” Caspian said firmly.
“Caspian! I hope you won’t hold back!”
The Reaper burst out, his aura becoming increasingly powerful.
At this moment, he was like a raging storm, prepared to fight with all his might!
The highest level of the third tier!
During this period, The Reaper hadn’t stopped exploring his strength. He trained tirelessly day and night but was still stuck at the highest level of the third tier.
He was one step away from becoming an eternal grandmaster!
Although it might sound simple, he understood well the vast difference between the highest level of the tier–three expert and an eternal grandmaster.
Many people spent their entire lives trying to become eternal grandmasters but ended up in despair.
Sensing The Reaper’s sudden surge in strength, Caspian shook his head and felt a sense of
regret.
The Reaper was a martial arts prodigy, but his thinking was somewhat rigid. He insisted on ruining himself for the sake of Leonardo.
However, his current strength was nothing against Caspian.
The Reaper bellowed angrily.
He wielded his longsword, and a burst of killing intent permeated the air!
His movements were as fast as lightning.
Even Caspian was shocked to witness this. The Reaper’s strength had undergone an
unprecedented breakthrough as he was much stronger than before.
The violent sword energy spread around, creating ripples in the water.
At this moment, The Reaper held nothing back.
Caspian remained composed when he saw The Reaper charging toward him.
An average person might think The Reaper was immensely powerful, but in Caspian’s eyes, he was as insignificant as an ant!
The Reaper knew he only had one chance to strike against Caspian.
He had to make it a deadly blow.
Caspian furrowed his brows and tightened his fists. He was prepared to take this battle
This was the respect he gave him.
“Let me see how much you’ve improved!” Caspian roared and rushed forward with an explosive punch!
The Reaper’s expression stiffened as he gripped his longsword tightly. He had to make the strike count!
Even Willow could feel the oppressive air emanating from The Reaper.
In contrast, Caspian didn’t seem to pose much threat as he was fighting barehanded.
Willow couldn’t perceive any formidable power from Caspian’s fist.
However, The Reaper didn’t think the same. As Caspian first approached, an immensely powerful wind blew and slammed toward him!
Caspian’s punch seemed unremarkable, yet it was immensely potent!
Though Caspian’s move seemed ordinary, the power it held was not to be underestimated.
The Reaper seemed to sense that Caspian’s strength was far above his.
An eternal grandmaster? An innate grandmaster? Or a supreme grandmaster?
The Reaper dared not imagine as Caspian’s strength was unfathomable!
The oppressive force from Caspian’s fist left him breathless.
In the next moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In that critical moment, The Reaper felt his strength suddenly surge.
His blood seemed to burn like fire.
A breakthrough!
In the direst moment, he had ascended to become an eternal grandmaster!
Under the cover of night, the two engaged in battle.
A thunderous roar reverberated across the surface of the lake.
