"My lord, shall I go with you? I might be able to help," Lyanna said, smiling as brightly as a flower."Well…" Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly. He intended to prevent her from doing so.However, Rosalie was delighted with Lyanna's courteous behavior, so she interrupted before Sebastian could finish. "Sure! One more person means that we'll have more strength. Let's go, hurry!"Rosalie took Sebastian's arm and walked toward the car.Lyanna's footsteps were very light, and she got into the passenger's seat as quickly as a whirlwind. Rosalie couldn't help turning to look at Sebastian in shock. "She… she's Mike's apprentice and has some basics in martial arts," Sebastian explained casually.Rosalie nodded slightly. After getting into the back seat with Sebastian, she said to the driver, "Hurry, drive."As the car drove into the neighborhood of villas in the western suburbs of Sunway, Lyanna's expression changed slightly. Her brow wrinkled as she said, "There's death energy!"Se
Rosalie led Sebastian and Lyanna to the villa next door.The entire row of villas belonged to Norman, and he had moved next door with his family after Lorcan Croydon suddenly lost his mind.When the doorbell rang, a maid hastily opened the door."Martha, is Mr. Nichols Senior at home?" Rosalie asked politely."Yes, Mr. Nichols Senior is waiting for you. Come with me," Martha Wendley said. She led Rosalie and the others into the study.Norman was pacing back and forth, looking extremely agitated.Technically, he was already retired, and he had passed on all his properties and assets to his descendants. However, he had gotten restless lately and had a discussion with Oliver, after which he decided to accomplish something glorious once more.He had then contacted Lorcan. He was planning to join forces with Croydon Group, which was planning to establish itself in Dramon. They had big plans for Sartvale.Oliver also intended to let Rosalie make a name for herself, which was why he h
Norman was still hiding the news. He couldn't let the world know that something had happened to Lorcan in Sartvale, because the effects of it would be huge. Even the authorities were keeping it under wraps, and they had a strict blockade on all news of the incident."Why is it like that, Sebastian?" Rosalie was trembling with fear.She had only heard that Lorcan had gotten a strange kind of condition which made him bite everyone he saw, and only on the neck.She had never imagined that the people he bit would end up with such ghastly wounds."Don't worry, it'll be fine." Sebastian comforted Rosalie.The truth was that Sebastian was also a little baffled. Norman's wound didn't look as if he had been poisoned, nor was it an ordinary wound. What was that black pus?"Mr. Nichols Senior, shall I ask your sons to come back?" Martha asked tearfully."Shut up! Why would you tell them to come back? Do you want them to see me in this state?" Norman waved a hand impatiently at Martha.M
Rosalie would rather watch Norman die than have anything happen to Sebastian."Don't worry, I don't want to die yet. Come on, let's go and have a look," Sebastian said. He turned and said to Norman, "Mr. Nichols Senior, wait here."Norman looked worried as he watched Sebastian and the others leave."My lord, there must be a spiritual medium in that Croydon's body!" Lyanna warned as they walked outside."Do you mean that we can achieve the desired effect if we cut off the spiritual medium?" Sebastian asked, frowning. Lyanna nodded and said, "Of course. However, cutting off the spiritual medium will have the same effect as subduing it, the way you did to me."That was what Lyanna was most worried about. Back then, she had already lost more than half her ghostly energy. What Sebastian was about to face was completely different from her.It was in a totally different league.Sebastian nodded slightly, showing that he knew what the situation was."Rosalie, you won't be able to tak
"Are you alright, Mr. Zacher?" Alec asked in concern as he hurried up to Cecil.Cecil used a handkerchief to staunch the wound on his head as he said, "It's nothing big.""If you say so," Sebastian said, unable to suppress a smile."Hmph!" Cecil's gaze swept coldly over Sebastian as he said, "I don't have time to bicker with you, young man. Watch me subdue that thing inside, and then I'll come and settle the score with you!"Watching as Cecil was about to squeeze into the crowd while still clutching the wound on his head, Sebastian tried to stop him. "Mister, let me give you some advice. You must not go in. You're injured.""Hmph!" Cecil glanced dismissively at Sebastian and asked, "Are you too scared to even step through the door, young man? That thing is on the second floor!"Cecil swaggered into the villa.As soon as he set foot in the villa, a bone-chilling cold made him pause. He was startled. The cold he felt was different from the cold of the weather. It was a terror that
Cecil wasn't powerful enough to see the intense dark energy. Only people at Sebastian and Bartholomew's level could sense it."Please move aside," Sebastian said, pushing Cecil gently.Cecil turned after hearing Sebastian speak. He scoffed and said, "Would a brat like you dare to step forward? Even I suffered greatly just now!"Cecil felt that Sebastian was just a reckless young man who didn't know his own strength.Bartholomew turned and noticed Sebastian. "Young man, the thing inside is very difficult to handle. Quite a few young people got bitten just now," he said seriously. Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, sir. However, I've always been tough, so I'd like to go up and see."Bartholomew's expression darkened at Sebastian's words, and he said, "Young man, you shouldn't speak so boldly. I'm saying this for your own good.""You are much too reckless and arrogant. Even I wouldn't dare to speak so boldly in front of Mr. Haye!" Cecil huffed coldly.Alec was shiver
As soon as Cecil spoke, even Bartholomew looked contemptuously at him."Go up if you can then!" A middle-aged man pushed Cecil forward.Cecil shuddered and turned to glare viciously at the middle-aged man. He said, "If you push me again, I'll bite you to death!""Damn, I ran into a crazy dog!" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes scornfully at Cecil."Young man, were you using the Dipper Eradicator?" Among all the people present, Bartholomew was the most knowledgeable. He had recognized it at once. Sebastian turned and said to Bartholomew, "You are very knowledgeable, sir."However, before Sebastian could finish, a wild wind suddenly rose out of nowhere. Even the chandelier in the hall, which was very heavy, began swaying. The gold lights on the seven paper charms were extinguished, and the light in the entire villa suddenly became dim. "What's going on?" Bartholomew felt his skin prickle and a chill ran down his spine.There was an enormous blast, and the doors to the villa
Even Bartholomew fell to the floor in fear. He stared vacantly ahead. "This is it. We're doomed this time!"The other geomancers began to murmur in fear."If I manage to get out of here alive, I'm going to switch careers at once!""Damn it! This is my second time doing geomancy for someone!"Sebastian was amused at their comments.Clearly, among the traditional five arts of the Way of Wisdom, traditional medicine wasn't the only one that was on the decline. All of the Five Traditional Arts of Crestborne were no longer being passed on.Sebastian got his sword ready. He clasped his hands behind his back and took five steps forward. Finally, he tossed the last paper charm under his feet.As soon as the paper charm touched the floor, it ignited like a candle flame.Sebastian took three steps to the left and threw another paper charm. He continued to change his position as he threw ten paper charms in total.All the paper charms were burning like candles. Although the light wasn't
It was just the second attack, yet Blake had managed to injure Caleb so severely.Caleb clutched his left rib and bent over. It wasn't an act, because Blake knew how much force he had used in that move. He had broken at least two ribs with that punch.Ordinary people couldn't endure the pain of broken bones, especially if the ribs had been broken with blunt force. It would be extremely painful.Blake smiled slightly and asked, "You think you can injure Mr. Parham and get away with it? Hmph!"With a wide grin, he cracked his knuckles loudly. As Caleb watched Blake slowly walk over to him, he begged for mercy, his face twisted in pain. "Don't kill me! I didn't do it on purpose! Please spare me!"Caleb backed away as he spoke, but Blake was unmoved. His mission was to kill Caleb.As Blake moved closer, Caleb couldn't back away any further. When he was backed into a corner, Caleb's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Blake, walking toward him with deliberate steps.Everyone was
Caleb and Reuben were delighted at what Belinda had said. However, Saul shot them meaningful looks. Did they really think the Warrior League was easy to deal with, even without Sebastian?The Warrior League was filled with experts. If the two of them fought against them rashly, they would be sure to die."Wait!" Saul stepped forward to block Gary and the others."What now?" Belinda asked coldly."There are so many of you. If all of you fight against them while saying that it's a one-on-one battle, no one could withstand that! We need to set a limit, at least," Saul said seriously."We'll only fight three battles," Belinda said calmly.That meant that the Warrior League would only send three people, while Caleb and Reuben couldn't have anyone helping them.In other words, it was three against two. Still, they had to accept those conditions. It was the best they would get.Otherwise, Belinda only had to give the command and it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle, it would be a bloo
"Forget it. Since you didn't die, we won't pursue the matter further with you. We've already enjoyed that young woman anyway, so we won't punish you for your crime," Reuben said, grinning scornfully.They could tell that Belinda and the others had turned up in such a large group to get revenge on them.However, they had special identities. Would Belinda be bold enough to offend two hugely influential forces in Yvanton for the sake of an old man?Was the Warrior League really powerful enough to offend Yvanton? Besides, the Juwanian bishop in Yvanton was also renowned in the martial arts community."If the two of them have done anything disrespectful to the Warrior League, I apologize on their behalf. Yvanton is willing to compensate you for what happened today. You can name your price," Saul said seriously.Even he believed that Belinda and the others wouldn't dare push for revenge now. After all, who would dare to kill Jorvahn's grandson?Belinda scoffed. "So what if he's the Juw
Saul turned as pale as a sheet after hearing what Sebastian had said. He stared blankly at him for a long time before asking Belinda, "Madam Dragon, is this your intention as well?"Belinda nodded calmly and said, "Do you want one to die or everyone to die? You can decide."Saul took several deep breaths, but he didn't dare to answer her. It wouldn't be hard for the Warrior League to wipe all of them out. After all, they were in Dramon, and they were on the Warrior League's territory. Who would dare to oppose them?"Hurry! Tell Abraham and the others to get out here. If they're not here within five minutes, they'll be ordered to kill themselves!" Saul said to one of the Yvantonian men."No," Blake interjected coldly. "You no longer have five minutes. You have two minutes left!" He raised his right arm at the black-clad men around him. There was a clatter as the Warrior League members pulled out their weapons. In the glow of the moonlight, countless gleaming knives and swords sh
According to the Steinberg Martial Arts Court's arrangements, Warriors from various countries had been assigned to different areas. Yvanton had been placed in a villa in the mountains in the western suburbs. There were around 300 guest rooms there. Before the Warriors of Yvanton and the reporters had moved in, it had been emptied completely.The Yvantonian Warriors had lit campfires in the yard and were singing and dancing. Suddenly, a line of SUVs stopped at the entrance, and countless black-clad men surrounded the entire villa at once. Blake walked into the yard, looking murderous. He clasped his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Everyone, gather in the yard within five minutes. Those who are late or absent will be killed!""Killed!" Over 200 of the Warrior League martial arts experts yelled simultaneously. They were all at the third level of the Celestial realm.The Yvantonian Warriors and reporters in the yard all gave Blake looks of surprise."Hey, who are you? Why
Although Belinda had clashed with the Warrior League elders in the past, they had all watched her grow up and supported her in becoming the leader of the Warrior League.Belinda had been filled with grief and fury at the sight of a severely injured Edward, and she had suffered great torment. She felt as if a member of her family had been attacked and injured badly.Now, watching him regain consciousness, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes despite herself."Oh…" Edward murmured weakly before turning to look at Sebastian, who stood beside him. "Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I owe you my life." He coughed a few more times, but there was no longer any blood."You can all help Mr. Parham sit up. He still has some clotted blood in his system. Moving around will help him dislodge the blood, and it'll speed up his recovery," Sebastian said to the crowd. Elara and Blake hastily helped Edward up from the stretcher. The moment his feet touched the floor, he began coug
Sebastian was being so sincere to the members of the Warrior League. Even though their hearts had always been as hard as stone, they couldn't help but feel moved."Gentlemen, we got to know each other because of the conflict between us," Sebastian said with a smile. "I came here in a rush, but I've had some free time recently and I've prepared some energy replenishing pills. Send someone over tomorrow morning to get them from me."The Warrior League elders' eyes welled with gratitude. Anyone would want a friend like Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, if you need anything from us in the future, we will accept it. We'd go through hell and high water without complaint!""Yes, without complaint!" The moment the elders finished speaking, the rest of the Warrior League apprentices echoed their agreement in unison. "Mr. Ballard, you're the first person in a century to win the approval of all the Warrior League members!" Belinda said admiringly.The more she looked at Sebastian, the more she li
"Madam Dragon, don't worry. I'll do my best to save him," Sebastian assured her. He tossed the nine golden needles out casually. They seemed to have a soul of their own as they pricked over a dozen main acupuncture points on Edward's body.Finally, they sank into several main acupuncture points. The ends of the nine golden needles were quivering incessantly, emitting a faint buzzing sound.Maxwell couldn't help but gasp. He blurted, "The Nine Revival Needles!"It was a legendary, almost divine acupuncture technique. It was said that the famous healer Handock had built his reputation using this method.The first person who had used it was the miracle doctor Benzo, who had lived in the early Quorn era. However, the acupuncture technique had become lost after Ambroise. That was why no miracle doctors had emerged in Dramon ever since."Shut up!" Belinda snapped coldly.Maxwell immediately fell silent and stared unblinkingly at the nine golden needles on Edward's body.He was als
"We don't need to disturb them while they're resting. Let's go," Sebastian said, beckoning to Blake and Elara.Soon, they arrived at Ventus Estate. Bertie, Drake, Terry, and Gary were all crowded around a stretcher, wiping away their tears. Lying motionless on it was Edward.They had been friends for years. How could they just watch him die?"Everyone, move aside! Mr. Ballard is here!" Blake announced as he walked inside.The Warrior League members crowded around the door hastily moved aside, clearing a path for Sebastian and the others to walk through.Belinda was sitting in the main seat, looking as white as a sheet. Sebastian could sense her rage."Madam Dragon," he greeted, inclining his head slightly.Belinda turned to look at him and forced a smile. "Mr. Ballard, I'm sorry to trouble you yet again."He smiled slightly and replied, "As you've said, I'm a friend of the Warrior League."He walked over to Edward and bent down to examine him. Edward's eyes were tightly shut
