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
The woman's voice was filled with emotion that could affect others greatly. It echoed in Sebastian's ear once more.Death is life, and life is death!Sebastian raised the sword he was holding and held it slowly against his own neck."Life and death are interconnected, and both are unclear."Sebastian suddenly felt a deep grief rise in his heart, as if his own life had no meaning. When the sword rested against his neck, he closed his eyes. Tears slid down his cheeks.Just as he was about to cut his own throat, a golden light flashed in his mind, and the scene before him disappeared at once.Sebastian's eyes snapped open and saw that he was still in utter darkness. The entire villa was as silent as death. When he thought about what had just happened, he broke out into a cold sweat. He had almost cut his own throat just now.If it weren't for the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals, which had pulled him back to his senses at the most important moment, he would be dead.Sebastian wiped
As he rushed forward, Sebastian bit his middle finger and let the blood drip onto the sword.He tossed the seven paper charms out simultaneously. They landed in different positions, which looked chaotic, but was actually merged with the spell of the mystic sects. The seven paper charms and the one that Sebastian was holding formed a spell to suppress evil. It was the Gold Spirit-subduing spell!Sebastian was carrying out the spell of the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals according to what he could remember.The woman in white immediately screamed tragically. The illusion disappeared in a flash, and Sebastian found himself back on the second floor of the villa.The dark energy had also disappeared completely, and the woman in white was lying in the Gold Spirit-subduing spell, struggling. "Before long, you'll disappear from this world forever," Sebastian said impassively as he watched her. The woman in white glared viciously at Sebastian, and dark energy rose up around her."Are y
"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
