Charlie looked at him with a disdainful sneer and remarked, “You are such a flirtatious old man! You’re over a hundred years old, yet you still wear those ridiculous red pants. How shameless!” Even though Willie had just been struck by lightning,


    he steadied himself and shouted furiously, “You…you scoundrel! How…how unfortunate is this year of birth!”


    “Year of birth?” Charlie scoffed. “At your age, do you really still believe in that?”<fn637c> The source of th?s content is f?ndnovel</fn637c>


    Willie, gritting his teeth in frustration, shot back, “Whether I believe it or not is none of your concern!”


    As he spoke, Uncle Willie’s mind was racing.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He hadn’t anticipated that, despite employing his shape-shifting technique, he would still fail to evade Charlie’s lightning strike!


    The pain of being struck was excruciating; while the pain and injury were significant, the real issuey in the electric energy coursing through him, causing his muscles to twitch uncontrobly and leaving him utterly powerless for a brief period.


    In that moment, Willie realized he was no match for Charlie.


    Not tonight, at least!


    He was outssed not only in magical artifacts but also in energy reserves. Just two days prior, he had drained one-third of his aura using lightning strike wood. The techniques he had been using consumed spiritual energy at an rming rate, and after being struck twice, he had no chance of winning!


    With this thought in mind, Willie resolved to escape immediately!


    He believed that Charlie had already revealed his identity, along with his magical weapon and strength. Now, with his own magical weapon at a disadvantage and no hope for a hand-to-hand victory, he decided to report back to his allies and await their arrival to deal with Charlie!


    After a series of violent convulsions, Willie suddenly sprang up, flipping onto his feet. Without hesitation, heunched two sword strikes at Charlie before fleeing!


    His n was to escape while Charlie was momentarily distracted.


    However, what Willie didn’t realize was that, despite not being close, Charlie was closely monitoring his every move. As soon as Willie executed his sword strikes and turned to run, Charlie surged forward without a second thought!


    The sword’s edge was perilously close, but Charlie had no intention of using his soul-piercing de to block it. Instead, he shouted out and channeled spiritual energy throughout his body, creating a whirlwind around him!


    Sand and rocks flew in every direction as branches and leaves swirled about! At the precise moment the two sword edges were about to strike him, Charlie transformed his hands into fists and mmed them toward the empty air on either side!


    With a loud bang, the two sword edges were obliterated by the force of Charlie’s fists!


    Meanwhile, Willie, d only in a pair of red underpants, had sprinted about ten feet away. Initially, he was running for his life without ncing back after unleashing his sword strikes, but upon hearing the explosive sounds, a jolt of excitement surged through him!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
