Night quickly descended over Dusthaven Village as an increasing number of factions gathered. Among them were reputable sects, dark factions, renowned martial arts grandmasters, and infamous villains.Despite their divergent identities and viewpoints, they all shared a common objective—venture into the oasis in pursuit of treasures.As the village crowded with people, tensions flared and conflicts rose. Members of dark factions engaged in acts of murder and theft, while those from reputable sects exploited the pretext of combating evil to eliminate rival contenders. After nightfall, a gruesome scene unfolded silently within the village. Several people had met their demise even before embarking on their quest for treasures. Meanwhile, inside an inn near the village entrance, Dustin, Grace, Jackson, Aidan, Garrett, and a few others carefully examined the map Ryan had drawn. Given its somewhat sloppy nature, they had to study it closely to understand it. It was also mainly be
"Sir … Sir, I don't know what you're saying. Let go of me. I can't breathe."The middle-aged woman was lifted off the ground, and her face was beet red. She kept struggling to break free, but it was to no avail.She was like a weak chick in Dustin's hands—he could kill her at any second. "Dustin, what are you doing?" Jackson furrowed his brow in confusion. It was not appropriate for a civilized person like Dustin to make a move on innocent civilians."Are you crazy, Dustin? She was kind enough to send us candles. Yet, you're trying to hurt her. How cruel." After seeing that, Garrett scolded Dustin indignantly.On the other hand, Aidan was sipping on wine relaxedly. It was as if he was an outsider in this situation.Grace wore a confused expression. However, she didn't say anything. She knew Dustin had his reasons."This person is suspicious. She wants to harm us!" Dustin glared at the middle-aged woman, not wanting to let go."Sir, I … I didn't do anything. It must be a misu
Five minutes later, Garrett returned to the room pooled with sweat."Ms. Linsor, you were right. Most of our men were poisoned. Thankfully, you gave us a bottle of Curax. Otherwise, we'd be in deep trouble." "Nobody died, right?" Grace asked."There's a few people that were severely injured and couldn't move. However, it's not life-threatening," Garrett answered."That's good." Grace let out a sigh of relief.There was a hint of anger in her eyes.Grace never provoked anyone, but she was not one to let things slide, either.The culprit had used such a sinister way to harm them. There was no way she could let it go."Captain Wilder, pick a few subordinates to investigate who's behind this. Let me know once you find something," Grace ordered."Yes!" Garrett answered before going out the door.His Black Scorpion Squad members were also poisoned, so he was similarly furious. "Ms. Linsor, something bad has happened! The village chief is in danger!" Osley, Grace's private butler
"Oh no! The golden net is about to break!" A shout suddenly sounded.When everyone looked over, Ryan's body seemed to grow bigger in the golden net.He was covered in black lines from head to toe.His teeth and nails had become sharper while his eyes turned from red to black. He was even letting out roars like a beast.Ryan's roar grew louder after each one, and his expression contorted into an ugly snarl.His back slowly arched, causing the golden net's wires to snap one by one.Ryan let out another roar. His sharp nails grabbed the net and ripped it apart.The sturdy golden net was torn into half, revealing a huge gap in it.Due to inertia, the young men holding onto the net crashed to the ground. "Oh no! This crazy man is about to escape!""Quick! Find a way to trap him!"Everyone was startled. They quickly took out ropes, looped them around Ryan, and swung it around swiftly. They planned to tie him up that way.Ryan roared up to the sky, and his robust body shook viole
Sebastian's attack caused Ryan to back away, huffing.Ryan had already gone mad. Instead of using true energy to protect himself, he took on the attacks head-on.Therefore, Ryan was injured all over by Sebastian's ruthless spear aura. The former was bloody and covered in wounds.When everyone thought the heavily-injured Ryan was about to drop to the ground, a shocking thing happened.Having no disregard for his injuries, Ryan rushed toward Sebastian after an angry roar. It was as if Ryan didn't feel any pain.More terrifyingly, Ryan's injuries were recovering quickly.They were all terrified by how quickly his injuries healed."How dare you! Let's see how I'll kill you with this one shot!" Sebastian wasn't deterred when he saw Ryan pouncing toward him. With a swing of his spear, a dazzling silver light burst out and illuminated their surroundings."A Stunning Shot!" Sebastian narrowed his eyes. He swiftly pulled his spear backward before thrusting it forward.There was a res
"What?" When Sebastian turned around, he was met with a gleam of light.It came at an extremely fast speed, bringing along a faint smell of blood.The person who made the move was Ryan!After being pinned to the tree, Ryan failed to break free. In the end, he grabbed the gun barrel with both hands and pulled himself forward by a foot.When he got close to Sebastian, he targeted his neck.His sharp nails were like blades of steel, extremely deadly."How pathetic!" Sebastian sneered when faced with the sudden attack. He punched right at Ryan without paying him any heed.An explosion sounded.Ryan's nails cut through Sebastian's energy armor. This caused Sebastian's entire wrist to be cut off.Blood splattered everywhere at that moment."Ah!" Sebastian was taken aback seeing his hand on the ground. Immediately, he let out a shrill scream.Sebastian never expected Ryan's nails to be that sharp. It could be compared to a divine weapon.Ryan had broken his energy armor easily."
Ryan roared lowly as an unknown black liquid oozed from his mouth. With his ferocious expression and a mouthful of fangs, he looked like a monster.Sebastian shuddered in fear after locking his eyes with Ryan. Instantly, the former's legs went weak."Hey, you! Where are you going? Save me now!" After seeing Dustin leave, Sebastian immediately shouted. Sebastian no longer dared to attack after seeing Ryan in a frenzy just now. Even now, a mere glance from Ryan would send shivers down Sebastian's spine. "Weren't you being so arrogant just now? You even said that I didn't save you on purpose. Thus, this isn't any of my business anymore. Face the consequences of your own actions," Dustin said indifferently.After all, Sebastian had bitten the hand that fed him.Dustin shouldn't have helped such an ungrateful person. It didn't matter to him whether Sebastian died or not, anyway."Stop right there! I'm ordering you to chase that crazy man away!" Sebastian screamed.However, Dustin
“You—" Just as Sebastian was about to give him an earful, a roar suddenly sounded.When he turned around, Ryan had already pounced on him.Ryan was using his hands and legs to run at lightning speed. With every push off the ground, his nails would scrape and leave deep marks on the ground.His nails were as sharp as steel blades."Someone! Save me! Don't let this monster get close to me!" Sebastian's expression turned horrified.As Sebastian was injured too badly, he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only manage to drag his battered body backward."What are you waiting for? Move!" Sebastian turned around and shouted at Dustin.However, Dustin didn't move at all. He only looked at Sebastian silently."Dustin, don't act recklessly. Sebastian can't die here!" Jackson was a bit anxious."It's none of my business." Dustin remained unfazed."Fine. Looks like I need to make a move!" Jackson shook his head helplessly after seeing Dustin being stubborn.Thus, Jackso
