At that moment, Hunter received news of Jace's death."Jace is dead?" Hunter's expression changed drastically when he heard the news, but he became calm very quickly. He wasn't concerned about the death at all. However, with Jace's death, the feud between the Beckards and Sebastian would go beyond the point of no return.Late at night, a strange, extremely thin figure in a burial suit pushed the door open to Hunter's room and entered."Mr. Reynolds, things aren't progressing smoothly at all. All four of the experts sent to protect Jace have fallen, and even Jace himself has died at Sebastian's hand," Hunter said to Elton, looking grim.He didn't feel sad for Jace. It was just that the four martial artists were top experts sent by the Sword Towers to ensure Hunter's safety!They had all just died for nothing at Sebastian's hand. How could Hunter explain this to the Sloanes if he didn't do anything?Elton frowned slightly and said, "Oh? Jace is dead? Mr. Sloane, you aren't going
Hunter explained. "Even if someone like him died a hundred times over, Mr. Beckard Senior still wouldn't get angry. The most he would do is to send someone to teach Sebastian a little lesson for the sake of the Beckards' reputation. "Besides, Jace has been disloyal to the Beckards for a long time, and every single person in his family has been hoping for him to die sooner. Why would they send a large bunch of experts to avenge him?"Elton couldn't help frowning at what Hunter had said. "With our current abilities, we can't do anything about that crazy thug, Sebastian. Mr. Sloane, can you—"Hunter's expression darkened suddenly, and he interrupted him in a cold voice. "Mr. Reynolds, do you think that I'm in any position to ask the Sloanes for help right now? "The four people that Sebastian murdered tonight were experts sent by Sword Towers, but even they have fallen. Do you want me to ask Sword Towers for help personally? Or do you want me and Ethan to divide the Mirror of Rain be
The car stopped about two streets away from the convenience store.Ivan pointed to the convenience store in the distance and said, "The target is inside. Find a place to hide until we shoot the target dead!"Hunter took a sniper up to a nearby building.Sebastian's convenience store was a stand-alone, one-story building. Any other building could become a convenient high point for a sniper to lie in wait from.Hunter followed Ivan up to the roof and took out a pair of infrared binoculars. He looked in the direction of the convenience store. Sebastian was sitting on the couch, meditating. He could see the universe's constellation map, but Hunter couldn't see it at all. All he could see from a distance was that Sebastian was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed."What's he doing, sir?" the sniper beside Ivan asked curiously as he opened his scope."Who cares what he's doing? Shoot him dead on the spot!" Ivan said in a low voice as he adjusted the focus on his binoculars. "S
"Mr. Reynolds! Save me!" Hunter had gone pale with fear. His palms were slippery with sweat as he held onto the gun."It's alright. He's gone." Elton pointed.Hunter realized that the dark shadow was drifting further and further away from him. He had been so nervous that he hadn't noticed at all."What's going on, Mr. Reynolds? My men—" Hunter looked down at the corpses on the ground. The shot had gone right through their foreheads. It was probably the work of a sniper rifle."Your men were killed by their own bullets," Elton said, looking at the corpses. Killed by their own bullets? Could bullets turn back?"What was that dark shadow?" Hunter asked, feeling shaken. "It's a ghost, otherwise known as a spirit from the underworld," Elton answered.That was the spirit that he had once raised.Hunter shook his head violently, and he swung around to stare in the direction of the convenience store. "Damn it! I'll go looking for him right now!"Not only had he lost four snipers in
Although Hunter hadn't succeeded in assassinating Sebastian that day, it had been a warning to him. If it had been Rose or Whitney staying there that night, the consequences would have been dire.However, Sebastian had already broken through to the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique. According to the different realms in the martial arts world, Sebastian was now an expert in the fifth level of the Celestial realm.However, it was impossible for him to take care of everything on his own. Once Sebastian made a mistake, even a slight one, the people around him would end up hurt!After thinking about it, Sebastian finally turned to Belinda. Now, only the Warrior League could spare a hand to protect the people around Sebastian.Sebastian stepped forward, and the land began moving rapidly under his feet!That was the Wind Phantom move that he had just learned from the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.The Wind Phantom move was very useful. In less than half an hour, he had reache
Even if Mike's men hadn't left, they would be no match for Elton at all.Belinda smiled brightly and nodded. Sebastian had saved her daughter's life, and she couldn't refuse such a minor request."Madam Dragon, please allow me to be blunt. There has been no precedent of people from the Warrior League acting as bodyguards for people who have nothing to do with us," one of the elders said as he stood up, looking displeased.His name was Bertie Zoll, and he was one of the seven main elders of the Warrior League. He was at the third level of the Celestial realm and a respected figure in the Warrior League. In fact, even Belinda had to show him respect at certain moments."Mr. Zoll, Mr. Ballard isn't that kind of person. Since he asked to borrow them, he's sure to return them." Belinda looked pointedly at Sebastian, as if she was waiting for him to speak up."Don't worry, Madam Dragon. I'll be sure to return them within ten days," Sebastian said, bowing. Yet another old man laughed c
Blake smiled contemptuously. These old men were much too arrogant."What do you think, Madam Dragon?" Blake ignored Drake and the others and spoke directly to Belinda with his head lowered."The Five Great Mountains requires Mr. Ballard to defeat three of the respected elders of the Warrior League. What do you think, Mr. Ballard?" Belinda was smiling brightly. Blake was so quick-witted. He had silently set up a trap for the elders and pushed them in. In a battle, none of the six Warrior League elders present in the hall would be a match for Sebastian."Let's do it appropriately." Sebastian smiled and nodded.The elders shot Sebastian a sideway glance. They felt that he was being very bold. He was obviously hinting to them to say that he would be merciful. "You are a very bold young man!" The old man sitting right at the end huffed coldly at Sebastian.His name was Terry Henson, and although he was ranked last among the seven elders, he was actually the strongest among them.
"I admit defeat. You are more powerful than you appear." Dylan had turned red. He bowed to Sebastian.He knew that Sebastian had held back on his strength when hitting him. Otherwise, there was no way he would still be standing there unharmed."You're useless! What have I always taught you?" Terry stood up angrily. Since his apprentice had been defeated, he would have to regain their pride himself. Sebastian looked up at the sky, which was slowly turning brighter. He smiled and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to battle me? Why don't you just do it all at once? If we have to do things one at a time, it'll be morning by the time we're done." Elara had been watching from the second floor, and she couldn't help feeling nervous for Sebastian after hearing what he had said. Even Belinda wouldn't dare to be so cocky. Terry and the others were all top experts in the Celestial realm and above. Did Sebastian have a death wish?"Ms. Lucox, don't pinch me." Elara had been pinching h
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
