Grand Return System

Chapter 240: A Sword From the Horizon

A Sword From the Horizon

A voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield.

"How shameless!"

The voice thundered across the area, cutting through the heavy silence like a blade splitting still water.

"The junior lost, then the senior came out to support him."

"Is this the bearing of Prison Holy Sect?"

"Can’t they afford to lose...?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Eyes widened one after another as heads turned toward the source of the voice.

Who dared?

Who actually had the courage to speak to a Prison Holy Sect elder in such a manner?

Even Ronan’s cold expression stiffened for a moment.

Slowly, a figure walked out from the crowd.

Harry Taylor.

His black hair swayed slightly under the wind as he stepped forward with raised shoulders and an expression that looked surprisingly confident.

Only...

If someone looked closely, they would notice his legs trembling slightly.

Inside, Harry was practically crying.

Damn it... damn it... why did I walk out?

That’s a Sage Realm expert! One slap from him and I’ll become a certified background character.

But after seeing Selena standing there alone moments ago—

He could not endure it.

This guy did not have the ability to fight, but he was quite good at cursing.

"Hehe, this kid is not bad. We can get along. If there’s anything, he will really help."

Rex Vine crossed his arms while standing not far away, amusement appearing in his eyes.

The corner of his mouth curled upward slightly.

He liked people like this.

Weak?

So what?

At least the kid had guts.

What they didn’t know was that Harry was so afraid that his legs were trembling. Even though he knew that the other party was someone he could not afford to offend, Harry still chose to attack as usual.

He swallowed hard before shouting,

"Senior, as an elder, do you have any shame? He lost in a battle between juniors because his skills were inferior. Who can he blame?"

The surroundings instantly became quiet again.

Many people nearly sucked in cold air.

Madman.

This kid really wants to die.

Ronan’s face darkened instantly.

The last traces of calm vanished from his eyes.

Harry had ripped away his excuse with a few simple words.

Originally, he wanted to stand up for Lavish while preserving some dignity.

But Harry had directly exposed his true intentions before everyone.

The muscles on Ronan’s face twitched slightly.

"Kid..."

His voice turned colder.

"I don’t need you to tell me what to do."

"Do you want to die?"

With a slight raise of his hand—

Boom!

A terrifying pressure descended instantly.

Harry felt as if an invisible mountain had crashed directly into his chest.

"Pfft!"

Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body was violently thrown backward.

Bang!

His body rolled several times across the ground.

"Little Harry!"

"Young Master!"

Rias hurriedly rushed over when she saw Harry injured.

Her red eyes widened with panic.

She quickly supported Harry’s shoulders.

Harry coughed violently.

"Damn... old man... that’s cheating..."

Behind him, everyone from the Taylor family became furious.

Amaya clenched her fists tightly.

"Damn it, this old fellow is too shameless!"

Her teeth nearly cracked from gritting too hard.

Everyone looked furious.

Yet helpless.

Facing a Sage Realm expert, their strength meant nothing.

A bitter feeling spread through everyone’s heart.

If Maya had not entered the Martial Emperor Tomb earlier...

Would they really dare to be this arrogant?

The answer was obvious.

They were bullying Celestis Academy because there were no seniors present.

The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.

Step.

Step.

Step.

Ronan slowly walked toward Selena.

Each footstep felt unusually heavy.

The air itself seemed to become heavier with every movement.

"Little girl..."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Do you know your mistake?"

Selena stood silently in the air.

Her silver-white hair danced in the wind while frost energy continued flowing around her body.

Even facing overwhelming pressure—

Her expression remained calm.

She looked directly into Ronan’s eyes and sneered.

"If you want to fight, then fight."

"The students of my Amethyst Summit Division never know what is wrong."

Her voice was not loud.

Yet everyone heard it clearly.

Ronan’s expression finally became ugly.

"Arrogant!"

Boom!

Terrifying pressure erupted from his body.

"Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your seniors."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ronan was about to attack—

Not far away, Fairy Fiona had been observing everything quietly.

Her brows furrowed tightly.

She had endured long enough.

After all, Leon had once helped her.

They had a relationship.

She could not continue watching.

Just as she was preparing to ask Jadis for help—

Suddenly—

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from the distant horizon.

The sky trembled.

Ronan’s pupils shrank.

Everyone instinctively raised their heads.

Then—

A sword pierced through the sky.

Its speed was unbelievably fast.

Like a shooting star tearing through clouds.

Bang!

The flying sword instantly smashed against Ronan’s palm.

The collision exploded with violent energy waves.

Ronan’s body staggered backward several steps.

"What?!"

His expression changed.

When everyone looked again—

They saw a figure standing calmly upon the flying sword.

Black robes fluttered.

His aura was astonishing.

"Guardian Elder Shera!"

Amaya cried out in excitement.

Joy immediately appeared on everyone’s faces.

Even Selena’s cold expression trembled slightly.

Complicated emotions flashed through her eyes.

She had never expected that at such a critical moment—

The one who saved her...

Would actually be Shera.

The Guardian Elder whom she once regarded as an enemy.

Meanwhile—

Ronan’s face turned ugly.

Regret instantly filled his heart.

How could he not know Shera?

The master of Secret Sword Summit...

The once-famous influential figure of Celestis Academy.
