"Shameless!" Barrett Walker watched as the sword that had fallen into his hands was snatched away, leaving him feeling very displeased. However, he remained clear-headed, realizing that the individual who dared to interfere on Mount War God in the affairs of the Walker family relied not only on his power but also on his own inherent strength.
"Ha! I will show you the true power of the Tai'a sword, the sword of might and virtue," Gavin Naltree declared, brandishing the sword and feeling disdain for the entire Mount War God. As the Tai'a sword moved, a massive sword aura rose up into the sky, breaking through the clouds and dominating the world. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the sky and earth changed colors, and as the sword was brought down, its power shattered everything in its path.
In an age where science explains everything, the presence of a forbidden area of gods was already bizarre. Yet, the idea of a sword creating such a majestic spectacle had never crossed anyone's mind. Especially when the sword aura pressed forward, the oppression on the soul felt like a mere insect facing a giant tree, or a mere ant facing a hurricane. The entire Mount War God lost a large chunk due to the sword aura, equivalent to a five-story high stone structure, which collapsed with a thunderous sound, leaving the crowd speechless in their astonishment. Could he also be a god? Looking at the strange appearance of the old man, the onlookers wondered if there might be more than just the War God, Mas Walk, among the ranks of the gods.
But the next scene left them even more astounded. Barrett Walker was unharmed, standing motionless at the edge of the missing chunk of land, gazing up at the sky.
"How are you unscathed?" Not just the others, even Gavin Naltree was left dumbfounded, unable to comprehend.
"Ha! Ha! Gavin Naltree, it seems you are not truly a person of virtue and might. You are nothing but a facade," Morton Walk explained, revealing the reason. The Tai'a sword was the sword of might and virtue, unparalleled in power, but it required a person of true virtue and might to wield it. Only the outstanding display of virtue and might could make the Tai'a sword radiate with overwhelming brilliance. He was nothing but a showman.
The Tai'a sword was a sword of the virtue and might of princes, existing in the shadows, but its sword aura had long existed among the heavens and the earth, waiting to be gathered. When the time, place, and people converged, the sword would be born. Only a person truly possessing this virtue and might, when wielding the sword, naturally engraved the words "Tai'a" on the blade in seal script, demonstrating its miraculous nature.
"I knew Big Brother Barrett would be fine. Sister, look, he's really unharmed!" Lucy Phoenix had been watching the sword aura from the Tai'a sword attacking Barrett Walker, filled with worry. Even though she tried hard to remain calm, the power was just too terrifying, and now that she saw Barrett Walker unharmed, she couldn't contain herself, grabbing Nancy Phoenix's hand and shaking it vigorously, leaving everyone looking at her with surprise.
"Stop shaking, I saw it! Geez! Can you please stop shaking? Barrett is looking over here." No matter how much Nancy Phoenix tried to persuade the excited Lucy, she couldn't contain herself, so Nancy resorted to her trump card. Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Lucy immediately transformed into a lady, releasing her almost trembling arm and tidying her disheveled hair, smiling without showing her teeth as she looked back, but she didn't actually see Barrett Walker looking her way.
Taking advantage of Gavin Naltree's stunned state, Barrett Walker suddenly moved, his massive body rushing forward like a falling meteor. Gavin Naltree raised his sword in defense, but the Tai'a sword, as soft as a rope, was deftly avoided by Barrett Walker, and he landed a punch on Gavin Naltree, sending the old man hurtling into the wall like a cannonball.
The sudden turn of events was so fast and unexpected that it left everyone speechless. But as they looked at the Tai'a sword in Barrett Walker's hand, their eyes burned with passion. If the Tai'a sword was this powerful, what about the other swords? They didn't know which general in the Federation had the qualification to possess one of the ten great swords. They looked around, feeling that perhaps they were the most qualified in the Federation, but who exactly was it?
The reputation of the Greene family had been greatly tarnished, as Barrett Walker had disabled the powerful old man with a single punch. It would be difficult for the Greene family to establish themselves in the Federation now. However, the situation with the Walk family was somewhat strange this time. Barrett Walker had not only brought shame to his own family but also, as a member of the Walk family, had given it a significant boost. Looking at Morton Walk's expression, it was clear that this person's reputation would probably never be the same again.
Barrett Walker, with his imposing figure, walked step by step toward Julia Menard. At this moment, he exuded an air of triumph and yet remained incredibly clear-headed, reveling in his victory. As the crowd looked at Barrett Walker, they saw him bend down, his eyes fixed on Julia Menard, and he said, "For you, and for my dignity, I have betrayed the entire family. How else can I prove my feelings for you? Do you really want to marry someone who would use such despicable means against you?"

Morton Walk stood not far away, listening to Barrett Walker's words, his expression unpleasant. However, he had lost the Tai'a sword, and if he continued to make a scene, it would not only ruin his own reputation but also that of the Walk family. Despite wanting to speak out loud, seeing Barrett Walker's resolute expression, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
Mark Smith, pointed at by Barrett Walker, looked at the man towering over him with a sense of fear, swallowing his words, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth. This man was too terrifying, and it was best not to provoke him at the moment.
"She is also a member of my Greene family. Do you think her change was only because of the family?" Matthew Greene looked at the multitude of Greene family members, sighing softly. Why couldn't the Greene family produce such a monster? He glanced helplessly at the family's pride, Maggie Greene, realizing that they still needed the support of this old man.
Barrett Walker turned and looked at Matthew Greene's frail figure, but it felt as if he was facing a ferocious tyrannosaurus. This feeling was strange, as if he had been weighed down by multiple heavy chains, making the air around him heavy and even causing him some difficulty in breathing.
"Grandfather, don't." Seeing Barrett Walker clutching his throat, the painful expression on his face, Julia Menard knew how terrifying Matthew Greene was. The three great Supreme Elders were truly powerful, and her pained expression added a touch of sacred radiance to her beauty, making her appear noble and untouchable. Despite Barrett Walker's current suffering, the men's gazes were still burning as they looked at Julia Menard.
"Tama, step aside! If I spare him today, neither the Greene nor the Walk families will be able to justify themselves to the Federation!" Even though the radiance of the Tai'a sword had overshadowed Barrett Walker's transformation, the truth could not be concealed for long. In the eyes of those who wanted to destroy the Chinese power, once united, they would leave both families defenseless. Therefore, no room could be left for any excuse, especially such a dignified one. Perhaps this was the main reason why he dared to take matters into his own hands on Mount War God to deal with Barrett Walker.
"Smack! I told you to step aside!" Maggie Greene looked at Julia Menard's unparalleled beauty, feeling a surge of jealousy. Since childhood, she had never liked this illegitimate child, and now she dared to go against the tide, even slapping her in the face in front of so many people, her actions were truly shocking.
Barrett Walker watched as Julia Menard was struck, and using the Tai'a sword as support, he stood up, his body straightened with force. The fact that the Tai'a sword didn't harm him showed his immense inner strength and understanding of might.
"Good! No wonder the Tai'a sword couldn't hurt you. Your inner strength is truly immense, embodying the path of might! Just because you can stand tall in the face of my might, I will only disable your abilities and spare your life!" Matthew Greene looked at Barrett Walker with eyes full of admiration. Only a strong heart, daring to abandon life and death to challenge everything, would continue to advance. It was a pity that this person had no blood relationship with him, and it was also a pity for the stubbornness of the old man from the Walk family.
The flat cut of the palm suddenly felt as chilly as the wind on a mountain. Onlookers were startled to see a massive prehistoric tyrannosaurus rex, its bite capable of piercing through gold and stone. Barrett used the Tai'a sword to slash across, unleashing a sky full of sword energy as vast as the endless stars in the sky. However, the tyrannosaurus rex was overbearing, rendering even the most powerful sword energy weak and fragile in the face of its attack. With a loud crack, the Tai'a sword was broken by Matthew Green's palm, which then struck Barrett Walker's chest with a resounding snap, sending him tumbling several yards away.
The crowd was shocked, unaware that the Speaker of the House Greene was so formidable. They looked towards Kenerich Rockefeller and Audrey Rothschild, wondering if they too possessed such power.
"Old man, you've improved again!" Gavin Naltry climbed out of the ruins, his fish tail hairpin long gone, leaving his bald head and a gash dripping with blood. He walked to Barrett Walker's side and kicked him, saying, "Get up! Weren't you just showing off?"
"Stop it!" Lucy Phoenix's face was frosty. Despite knowing the consequences of her actions, she couldn't bear to see Julia Menard, with red marks on her face from Maggie Greene's grip, and Morton Walker's indifferent expression as he turned away. She couldn't restrain herself any longer and threw a stone at Gavin Naltry. Despite the stone flying like a bullet, he effortlessly caught it, turned to Lucy Phoenix, and grinned, "Little girl! Just because you're the granddaughter of Danus Leao, doesn't mean I won't do anything to you!"
"Get lost!" he shouted, suddenly roaring in anger. The explosive sound sent Lucy Phoenix, the general, flying, showing the difference in power.
Just as Lucy Phoenix was about to fall to the ground in disgrace, a strange scene unfolded. A thunderous roar rang out, "You're the one who should get lost!" Gavin Naltry's face was disfigured and sent flying, a fiery red shadow exploding and catching Lucy Phoenix, then kicking down a wall. This dissipated the raging force, and he gently placed Lucy Phoenix on the ground. Barrett Walker's skin was ablaze, with blood vessels bulging and his heart visibly pulsating with immense power.
At this moment, Barrett Walker exuded a powerful aura, looking more like a humanoid mech than a person, devoid of any human features.
"The stronger the battle, the stronger I become, hehe! Looks like today will require some effort." No one knew how powerful the three Speakers of the House were, just as no one knew the unimaginable power of the gods. The person who could make Matthew Green say such things could be counted on one hand in the entire federation.
