Chapter 597: The Villain of Murim and the Great Chaos.

Bang!

"How How did this happen!!" the leader of the Righteous Path shouted angrily at Jegal Hwan. "That man you brought assassinated Crown Prince Wol Gye-Woo of Hwan! Here, of all places!!"

Bang!

As the leaders fist shattered the table, Jegal Hwan screamed with a pale face, "That can't be! He had no encounters with the Crown Prince before!"

"That's what you think!"

"He had no reason to kill the Crown Prince" Jegal Hwan started, but then he flinched. He remembered Daveys deeds prior to the assassination.

"Do you see his true character now?"

Suddenly, a messenger interrupted their conversation.

"Sir!! It's terrible news! Princess Jadeflower Princess Jadeflower has been assassinated!!"

"What?!" Shocked, the leader stood up abruptly.

The Crown Prince was dead, and now Princess Jadeflower of Yu was assassinated?! As if the situation had not been grave enough anyway, it had just turned drastically worse.

"Who Who did this?! Who dared to do such a thing!"

"It was." The messenger trailed off, seemingly scared. "...It was a peculiar girl. She had a unique outfit and used some strange metallic tools."

A peculiar girl? Hearing this, the leader's hands trembled.

Jegal Hwan shouted furiously, "Tell us more!"

"Itsit's the girl Davey brought! That descendant of the Westerners! She broke through the defenses of the Black Wind Squadron by herself and assassinated Princess Jadeflower, then disappeared."

Jegal Hwan's face turned pale, and the leader's expression hardened.

"It makes no sense! There's no reason for him to do this!" Jegal Hwan shouted.

"Why the hell not?! He's a descendant of the Heavenly Destroyer!"

"Thats why I said there was no reason! He was trying to change the image of the Heavenly Destroyer and the Heavenly Destroyer Divine Art, not seeking revenge!"

"Is that important?"

In response to the leader's words, Jegal Hwan flinched. "Could it be."

"Yes. That's just an excuse. Because of what he's done, both the Righteous and Evil Path Martial Alliances are in trouble. Itll definitely cause a lot of conflicts!" the leader shouted vehemently, drawing his sword.

"So what we can do is, not miss this chance and make him the villain to be eliminated."

"Do we really have to go that far?!" Jegal Hwan blocked the leaders way, shouting. "Look at the situation! He has revealed more secrets than any other martial artist we've seen."

"But then what would you have us do? Would you turn everything upside down and bring about great chaos?! Even the Evil Path Martial Alliance is thinking the same."

The Righteous and Evil Paths would once more join hands to kill one person. There was no turning back now.

" You might regret this. His martial skills are extraordinary. Moreover, do you remember what I told you?"

"Are you talking about the Heavenly Dragon and the Celestial Maiden?"

"Yes. According to information from the Green Forest bandits, two people who came down from heaven wiped out a fortress all by themselves and took away the successor of the Heavenrend Sect. There's a chance it's not true, but on the off chance that it is true."

"If he really was some kind of celestial being, he would not have portrayed himself as the descendant of the Heavenly Destroyer. And if that turns out to be the truth, I will take responsibility and lay down my life," the leader declared solemnly.

Jegal Hwan wished the leader would show mercybut at the same time, he was worried that Davey might not be such a merciful person either. Thus, Jegal Hwan had to face the situation. Things were bound to change dramatically.

"Are the Black Tortoise Unit and Vermilion Bird Unit here?"

"Yes."

"Order the two units to find him immediately"

"Sir! Theres a serious problem!!!"

"What now?!" Jegal Hwan shouted in annoyance, frowning at the second messenger who had rushed in.

Why is it always trouble? Trouble! Trouble!!! All he hoped for was that someone would smash the door in just to bring them good news.

"Davey and his wife, the Celestial Maiden, are destroying the Assassin Unit!"

The Assassin Unit was no ordinary group! It was home to great masters who were way more powerful than other martial artists of the same level and had vast experience in both individual and group combat. And those great masters were now overwhelmed by just two people?

Jegal Hwan was sweating in fear.

"What about the Embroidered Guard! What are they doing?"

"They have been called from all over to pursue him, but."

"Where did he go?!"

"About that." As he spoke, the messenger hurried to the window and opened it.

All four of them could see it right away. Near the martial contest venue, numerous pavilions were collapsing in a massive cloud of dust.

***

"Davey, this is definitely a trap. Better get out before it's too late."

"Did we underestimate those from the Abyss?"

The enemy's assault from all sides was on an incredible scale.

"Surrender your sword!"

[Confuse]

An overwhelming amount of qi burst out, and the qi of the masters trying to suppress Davey was twisted and repelled in an instant.

"Hmph?!"

"Ugh! What kind of monstrous qi is this?! You, you were really in the Extreme Polarity realm."

"If you saw the duel, you would know. Whether you want to tag-team me or sacrifice yourself hoping to take me downits not going to work." Calmly speaking, Davey pointed his sword to a direction where the martial artists put to sleep would not be affected. "Super Ribbon. We have to suppress them without hurting them as much as possible."

These people were leaders of the Central Martial Alliance. Killing such individuals would turn things precisely in the direction the Abyssal entity intended. Davey could not stand to see that happen.

Shh

Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon merged, draining a massive amount of power from Davey. A mystical longsword brimming with power appeared in Daveys hand.

[Father..]

The Super Ribbon's image appeared before Davey and stroked his cheek.

"Father is a bit troubled. Please take care."

"Yes, Father." As the Super Ribbon smiled, Davey gave a brief smile back.

[Super Ribbon is Father's sword.]

With those words, a vast power poured out from Super Ribbon.

"Gasp! Look at that power! It seems we must stake our lives!"

"To think that hes at such a high level at such a young age I've lived my life in vain..."

The two elders took their stances, ready to spearhead the attack. In the meantime, the other masters also got to work.

"Lets form the Fusion Fortress Array!!"

"Also the Monochromatic Array!"

The masters coordinated to create two sword arrays. It seemed that they acknowledged the significant threat that Davey posed.

The two seemed accustomed to working together. As Davey took a step forward, they shot toward him like a flash of light. Daveys counter to ones attack would be prevented by the others attack.

Following those two masters, the others put together massive sword arrays and unleashed the vast power they had gathered, pouring attack after attack onto Davey.

No matter how good ones evasion skills were, if there was no place to escape, they would get hit. This strategy was indeed impeccable, as most martial arts focused more on evasion than on blocking strikes head-on.

However, Davey was a completely different kind of opponent than what they were used to, and his knowledge was not limited to martial arts. They could only resort to Tiger Qi or some other powerful qi that could resist qi attacks head-on, but he didnt have to do that.

No, Davey had his own way. If he was targeted by a mighty attack and surrounded by an all-encompassing net, then he would tear through the net and destroy the attack with overwhelming force.

Holding the Super Ribbon in a reverse grip, he took a short breath and released the blade energy as if carving the ground.

[Paladia-style Galactic Spear]

[Longsword]

[Combination Skill]

[Shaking the Mantle]

Boom!!!

Compared to the usual Mantle Cut that could chop off the fangs of ferocious beasts, this was on an entirely different scale. It felt like a massive energy hammer smashed the ground, shaking it. The blue-red blade energy completely engulfed the area.

The old masters, who had just poured out every ounce of their power in a flawless attack, were in dismay.

Proving they were not called masters for nothing, they reflexively changed their offensive arrays to defensive ones in the face of Daveys attack. But Daveys sword did not manifest only one skill.

[Mind Sword]

[Sword Rain]

My will is the sword, and my sword shall become the rain pouring down from the sky.

An invisible rain of blades poured down from the sky. Without giving them a chance, an absurd amount of qi was unleashed, and they halted their advances, dropping the swords in their hands. They intuitively felt the colorless, formless, intangible blade energy targeting their bodies.

"The pinnacle of the Mind Sword"

"Marvelous"

"Ah Goodness"

Even in the face of imminent death, that was all they could say.

The rain poured down on these masters, who could be considered the most significant force of the Central Martial Alliance. This was immediately followed by the heavy energy of Super Ribbon.

There was no witness to the aftermath of this battle, which was neither a duel nor a typical life-and-death fight, but everyone knewDavey was in a realm far too absurd for them to handle.

"You've only trained for a hundred years, and yet youve become so arrogant; go train for another couple centuries and then come back to fight me."

You still have a long way to go, old men.

ChubbyCheeks & Tk's Thoughts

retired penguin's thoughts:

Hi everyone! Thank you for supporting Max Level Hero all the way.

Following a number of reviews and comments complaining about the quality of the editing, we have discovered that the editor was indeed using AI rather than checking the chapters herself. As of now, she is no longer working with us.

This was indeed an inexcusable oversight on our part. We pride ourselves in the quality of our exclusively human translations, and we trusted that a veteran editor would do their job well. Starting from CH572 (the beginning of the current arc), all chapters are being re-edited, and we will also be allocating resources to fix chapters starting at 400, although that will take some time.

We deeply apologize and we hope that you will keep enjoying the story!
