Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2409 The Ghost Soldier Totem

The sword slashed through in the blink of an eye.

Nevertheless, Horatio remained calm and dodged her blows with ease, swaying with the wind like a leaf.

When Matthew, who was in the audience, saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Freya's Arctic Saw alone weighed more than hundred and ten pounds, indicating that she was a martial arts practitioner who focused on strength.

And it was clear from her opponent's agility that he was more of an agile type.

This put Freya at a disadvantage, which was exactly what Matthew was concerned about.

Clearly, this was a deliberate arrangement by the Great Octavian because Horatio had been easily dodging several of Freya's attacks.

When Freya paused her movements, she noticed she was already sweating and realized her stamina was quickly dwindling.

She would lose all of her energy if she couldn't quickly take down her opponent.

She stopped hesitating and clenched her hands while holding the sword in front of her in a horizontal position.

At that moment, Freya felt a tinge of madness rising within her.

Horatio, on the other hand, merely tapped his feet lightly and his entire body shot out like a bullet.

Freya used her most powerful move, The Meteor Technique, as soon as they were in close proximity to one another!

Horatio recognized the power of this move based on the terrifying sword technique.

Without any hesitation, he pushed his agility to the extreme.

Their movements left behind lingering images in the air that merged and evolved.

The Arctic Saw's tip fell to the ground at this precise moment, instantly igniting massive sparks.

Just as Horatio was about to exhale a sigh of relief, his expression changed.

Looking up, a four-foot-long shadow of a massive sword came crashing down with dreadful power.

He crossed his hands to cover the top of his head when he realized he couldn't avoid it.

The shadow then descended, and the immense power instantly launched him into the air.

After rolling around the stage for five or six laps, Horatio eventually found stability.

At this moment, he was both surprised and excited.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. I seem to have underestimated you. However, if this is the extent of your strength, you still have a long way to go," He stated as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The next second, he took off all his clothes.

The bone-deep wounds on his arms were now clearly visible to everyone.

What was shocking, however, was that those horrifying wounds were not covered in blood.

Instead, thick black flames were erupting from them.

And on his chest, a totem of a beast made of black lines seemed to come alive.

The skin in that area began to twist irregularly.

Upon seeing that, Doe exclaimed, "It's the Ghost Soldier Totem! How is this possible? Wasn't this clan completely wiped out three hundred years ago?"

Hildegard Peregrine, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, abruptly opened them before Doe could finish speaking.

She turned to see Freya, her eyes displaying a glimmer of worry.

The Ghost Soldier Totem was the exclusive totem of the Five Ghost Soldiers of the Dark Hills Sect.

Nobody knew who founded the Dark Hills Sect, nor did they know where it came from.

The relevant records could only be found in unofficial historical books, which provided only a brief mention.

In the martial arts community today, the Dao Sect was the most widely known teaching, and there was speculation that the Dark Hills Sect was a subset of the Dao Sect. However, Hildegard intuitively understood that all of this was utter nonsense.

The ancient texts of the Dao Sect made no mention of the Dark Hills Sect.

Even if there were, it would only be a description of the Dark Hills Sect's evil forces being vanquished by the ancestors of the Dao Sect.

And any force associated with the Dark Hills Sect engaged in the darkest practices, killing living things in order to absorb their resentment and thereby increase their own power.

The members of this sect were completely wiped out over 400 years ago because of their unrighteous acts.

Since then, they had disappeared without a trace.
