The one who appeared was none other than Aditya.
He had appeared so suddenly that neither Athena nor the ten Sixth Order cultivators had been able to sense his arrival. One moment, there had been nothing standing between Athena and the sword. In the next moment, Aditya was already standing there, directly facing the approaching cultivator.
Before the swordsman could understand what had happened, Aditya's right hand shot forward and grabbed his right wrist, the same wrist he was using to hold his sword.
The man's eyes immediately widened in shock. He had been moving at an extremely high speed, yet out of nowhere a strange man appeared and had caught his wrist as easily as someone catching the hand of an ordinary person.
But Aditya did not stop there. Without saying a single word, he tightened his grip around the man's wrist and forcefully twisted it inward.
