Marco voiced his concerns, "I've been having a bad feeling lately, and I think it's best for us to check up on them. They should have returned by yesterday or this morning at the very latest. That they have not returned even though it is already one in the afternoon is cause for concern."Roxanne then came in and chimed with a faint smile, "I'll go too! I'm pretty sure nothing would have happened to Ruben, but I agree with you when you say that it's a little odd for them not to have returned yet. I'm curious to see just how beautiful the three women are, and how they were able to captivate our son like that.""In that case, gather up our family's strongest warrior emperors. The Carneys will be unnerved for sure if our strongest men show up there," Marco decided after a moment's thought and nodded.Shortly thereafter, Marco, along with his wife Roxanne and a dozen warrior emperors, set off for Littleton. In less than thirty minutes, Marco and his entourage were flying in the skies ab
Marco's overwhelming intimidation left Deacon seething, but the latter was unable to retort.Roxanne was unable to restrain herself any longer and implored Deacon, "Where is my son? Where are Maximus and the others?"Deacon replied nonchalantly, "I haven't a clue as to where your son is. Why ask me if you can't locate him? I'm not responsible for him." Deacon raised his voice intentionally, drawing the attention of onlookers in Littleton who were keen to witness the unfolding drama.There was frustration etched across Roxanne's face as she gritted her teeth. "Don't play dumb with me. My son... My son..." She felt it challenging to discuss her son's actions, especially in public.Severin had a subtle smile as he came forward and said, "What seems to be the issue with your son, madam? Why do you seek the Carneys when your son is missing? We've never met him before.""Impossible!" Marco clenched his fist and locked eyes with Severin. He shot back angrily, "You killed him, didn't you?
"No need to worry," Severin responded with a chuckle. He faced the incoming attack without a hint of apprehension and simply clenched his fist to unleash a punch. "Stonebreaker Fist!"An enormous fist materialized before him as he called out the technique's name. His attack exuded a terrifying aura and surged directly ahead with a resounding rush of wind."The momentum is formidable! Is that the true Stonebreaker Fist, the most basic soil-grade low-rank combat technique?"Severin's proclamation of his technique left many observers in disbelief. After all, it was widely regarded as the most rudimentary combat technique, one typically practiced at lower attainment levels. Most practitioners generally eschewed such techniques when they reached higher levels.However, Severin's Stonebreaker Fist exhibited overwhelming power and momentum, leading spectators to question if it was indeed the same technique."It is indeed the Stonebreaker Fist, but the fact that he could employ it with su
"Honey!" After realizing that Roxanne was dead, Marco's eyes were filled with a menacing and bloodshot rage. He glanced up and unleashed a guttural scream. In a flash, he ascended into the air and bellowed, "Kill him! Attack him all at once!"One of the elders was a little apprehensive. He questioned Marco, "Sir, his... It won't do us any good to mess with someone of his attainment. He's so strong that even the most basic of techniques are powerful beyond compare. Don't you think his attainment might be stronger than yours?""There's nothing to be afraid of! We won't know until we give it a try! Our strength lies in our numbers!" Marco retorted, already consumed by wrath. He clenched his fists and channeled his spiritual energy into them.Severin sneered when he observed their persistent defiance. Eager to conclude the battle, he unsheathed a sword and infused it with spiritual energy. The sword emitted a piercing cry as it vibrated faintly, sending involuntary shivers down each onl
"I've accumulated a significant number of spiritual herbs in the past month. Once I have some free time, I'll focus on refining more pills to assist our comrades within Dracodeus Temple. It would be good to boost their progress within our limited time frame," Severin contemplated as he used his mental energy to assess the spiritual herbs within the spatial ring.At night, Severin remained industrious and dedicated himself to pill refinement. More specifically, he utilized second-grade high-rank and third-grade low-rank spiritual herbs to create a substantial quantity of pills.The following morning, Sheila, Diane, and the others eagerly sought out Severin."Hehe, can you guess why we're here, honey?" Diane inquired playfully.Severin saw how well-dressed they were and could not help himself from smiling. "Of course. You've all been wanting to explore the nearby islands, right? Let's go, then! I'll do some sightseeing with all of you during the day and spend my nights focusing on al
Many looked on enviously at the colossal flying sword. When they thought of how easily the Gregories' had been killed just a few days ago, their impulses were promptly quelled. While such a treasure was undoubtedly very desirable, anyone who wished to seize it would need to be stronger than its owner."Your flying sword is truly remarkable. It can expand to such a colossal size in addition to maintaining such an impressive speed. I never imagined I'd have the opportunity to ride something like this. It's an anecdote I'll brag about for lifetimes to come," the second elder of Sus Hall remarked while standing on it. Severin smiled wryly and replied, "It can travel at a rather decent speed, but its increased size makes it heavier. This, in turn, required more spiritual energy and mental energy, particularly when there's a sizable number of people riding it.""Won't we need to take plenty of breaks along the way then?" Diane asked concernedly.Severin smiled and assured her, "Not nece
Severin replied somewhat helplessly, saying, "Well, it's not like there's anything else we can do to speed things up. They're actively making inquiries about the two halls. Dracodom might be big, but we only have a few cities left. We probably will receive news soon, if we look at it from that perspective."Sofia grinned slightly and asked, "When do you plan to visit my father at the Stormy Moon Sect? You said you'd come with me, didn't you?""Let's rest for a couple of days first. We just returned, after all. I'll take this opportunity to refine some pills and catch up with the other hall masters. Give me three days before we set off," Severin replied with a smile. "I'll come along!" Sheila promptly declared."Me too! I haven't seen the sect yet, and I'm curious to know what it's like," Diane added enthusiastically."Can I come along?" Elsa appeared out of nowhere with her hands behind her back. She was smiling slyly after overhearing their conversation."You seem to be in a ve
When Sheila heard that, she panicked and hastily said to Elsa, "Don't believe a word he says, Elsa. His barbecued meats are the best. They're better than any dish you find at a five-star restaurant! You'll regret it if you don't get a taste of it."Diane immediately chimed in and said, "Absolutely! He's just saying that to avoid going through all the trouble. His barbecue is the best I've ever had."Sofia then gulped and added, "Stop it, you two. Just thinking about the aroma is enough to trigger my inner carnivore."Elsa had a puzzled expression as she responded, "Aren't you exaggerating? I guess I'll have to give it a try then." She then turned to Severin and said with a smile, "Looks like your three wives love your barbecue very much. Guess we'll have to go with that for today's reward then..."Severin was speechless. He raised his eyebrows playfully as he retorted, "But didn't you just say you don't like greasy food?"Elsa grinned mischievously and said, "That was then and thi
