Whitney stared at herself in the mirror in shock. It was only then that she realized that what had happened to Madeline was now happening to her own face.At that moment, the door opened. Sebastian and Blake walked inside one after the other."Mr. Ballard.""Sebastian." Whitney hastily put down the mirror and pulled Sebastian's hand as she hurried over to the bed. She pointed to the thread of blood on Madeline's face. It was still wriggling, and she said, "Ms. Eddings—""What happened to your face?" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian noticed the unusual thing on her face."N-Nothing. I'm fine. You should think of a way to wake Ms. Eddings first." Whitney turned away quickly and covered the scarlet mark on her face with her hand."Move your hand." Sebastian took her hand, looking somber. He moved it slowly away from the crimson mark on her face, and he saw that the red mark had expanded from the size of a seed to the size of a bean.Sebastian drew in a sharp intake of breath.
After about ten minutes, when Sebastian returned to the convenience store once more, he saw that Nina had taken Anthony back to her room.It had only been half an hour, but Anthony felt as if it had been more than ten years.He couldn't understand how Nina's slender hands could move faster than knives. Whenever she slashed at his body casually, a huge wound that was about a foot long would appear.When Nina heard Anthony wailing and screaming tragically, she smiled in satisfaction. "Let's try out how tough your bones are, shall we?" Anthony felt his scalp prickle when he saw Nina crouch, grinning.He had naively thought that he would suffer less torture after Sebastian had handed him over to two pretty women. He had never imagined that as soon as Sebastian left, he would feel as if he had fallen into a demon's den!"Please, ma'am! Just let me go! Stop torturing me!" Anthony was weeping for real this time. Snot and tears streamed down his face as he pleaded in despair, "Do a good
"The red fog in Rubercloud Valley is very poisonous. That is why the mountain was named Mt. Myria. All the criminals of the Pinnacle Sect are locked up there," Anthony said carefully.Rubercloud Valley?Blake couldn't help frowning. "Sebastian, it is a very dangerous place. You must not go there lightly!"Sebastian turned to look at Blake and asked, "Oh? You know about Rubercloud Valley too?"Blake nodded slightly and said, "There are hardly any people among the mystic sects who don't know about it. However, no one knows that Rubercloud Valley is the fourth peak of the Pinnacle Sect.""That's right. Rubercloud Valley is very dangerous. You must be careful, Mr. Ballard," Anthony agreed."You have no right to speak here!" Sebastian glared coldly at him."Sebastian, he's right. Rubercloud Valley has always been very mysterious, and many experts from the mystic sects have lost their lives there. It was already a very mysterious area about 100 years ago. You know about the Yutarian i
Just as Sebastian had expected, the so-called Rubercloud Valley was just a trap that Anthony had set up for him. Sebastian had seen from Blake's expression that Rubercloud Valley really was one of the most dangerous places known to them. "The Pinnacle Sect keeps its prisoners in two locations. One is in the deepest part of the Black Ursa ridge, which is the third peak of the Pinnacle Sect. "There is a cave there, and they usually keep more unimportant prisoners there. However, important people are only imprisoned in Rubercloud Valley," Anthony said mournfully. He hadn't been lying completely to Sebastian. Rubercloud Valley was just more dangerous. If Sebastian died there, Anthony would have had his revenge."The deepest part of the Black Ursa ridge?" Sebastian frowned slightly. Mt. Ursa stretched from east to west for close to 1000 miles. It was one of the most dangerous mountain ranges in the north. It was also the only mountain range near Steinberg."Rubercloud Valley! Th
Terence smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Whitehall, according to what I know about the Warrior League, Madam Dragon will be sure to dispatch many experts to rescue them. At that time, all we have to do is—""Oh? Do you mean to use Whitney as bait and get rid of all the Warrior League high-level executives in one blow, Mr. Manderly?" Ethan asked. He swallowed and looked a little nervous.There were several experts in the Celestial realm and above among the high-level executives of the Warrior League too.It would be risky to try and destroy the Warrior League high executives with just the experts at the third level of the Celestial realm that he and Terence had brought along.Terence saw that Ethan looked afraid, and he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Whitehall. My Soulbell isn't famous for nothing. As long as Madam Dragon and the Warrior League high executives fall for it, they will not be able to escape my grasp."Ethan laughed awkwardly and swallowed. He said, "Uh, Mr. Manderly,
Sebastian knew very well that he would have to know what the red smoke was before he could find a way to neutralize it. He had to know what kind of reaction he would have if he were poisoned.Although Nina and Rose both tried to stop him, Sebastian walked into the red mist alone. The moment he walked into the red fog, Sebastian felt his body begin to itch, and his head began to feel fuzzy. It was clear that the poisonous fog was able to numb a person's nerves.Sebastian immediately used silver needles to control the venom in his body, and he recovered slightly.Nina and Rose were waiting outside the valley. They were beside themselves with worry when they saw that Sebastian had still not come back after an entire day and night.Neither of them knew anything about medicine, so if they barged rashly into the red fog, they would only be rushing toward certain death.Sebastian finally walked out of the red fog after a day. He was holding a few sprigs of medicinal herbs.Even Sebast
There were many more bones like that at the side of the old woman's yard.As the smoke and dust rose up, Sebastian could detect a faint odor of corpses. "Of course it's lonely." The old woman smiled and nodded.She began picking up firewood again, as if nothing had happened. She put it into the stove."There are too many people like you. You shouldn't have come in here," the old woman muttered as she continued to throw in more firewood.The old woman seemed to be hinting at something. The bones she was holding were clearly fresh. "What do you mean by that?" Sebastian smiled sardonically."Live people aren't allowed to enter the valley. Didn't you know that?" The old woman turned her head and looked at Sebastian and the others as if they were dead.Sebastian met her eyes, which were deep and very intense. A chill rose in his heart."What are you cooking in your pot, ma'am?" Rose asked very politely."Rocks," the old woman answered, smiling widely.Cooking rocks?Sebastian
Nina said coldly, "Old woman, I'm not your only opponent." She gave Sebastian a pointed look.She was indicating that they would only be able to deal with the old woman if they joined forces.Sebastian exhaled lightly. His gaze sharpened, and the energy around him changed instantly.When the old woman realized that Sebastian was also a practitioner of the Way of Wisdom, the expression on her wrinkled face changed drastically.At the same time, Lyanna appeared behind Sebastian. She was holding a strange emerald pendant in one hand. Two fish were chasing each other around on it.Although the emerald looked very alive, it was also very transparent. The old woman sensed danger from it."The hillock of leylines, south of the Toar River! You have made this precious land a land of death! You deserve to die!" Lyanna held one hand behind her back as she looked coldly at the old woman."Die? You all are the ones who deserve to die!" the old woman suddenly roared. The dragon-topped walkin
"What did you do to them?" Saul asked fearfully at the sight of Caleb and Reuben's bloodshot eyes. The veins on their heads and necks were bulging. "I've heard that the man with the most willpower in the world can endure this for seven minutes. That's the limit for a human. I wonder whether these Juwanian beasts can break that record," Sebastian answered, clasping his hands behind his back and looked down at Caleb and Reuben.Caleb's body curled into a ball but stretched out all of a sudden as he continued to convulse on the ground.Reuben jolted from time to time, and in less than two minutes, he began bleeding from his ears and nostrils."You're crazy! You've gone mad! Pull out the silver needles on their bodies at once!" Saul was beside himself with anger. He shot forward to pull out the needles for Caleb and Reuben.However, although he moved fast, he was sent off even more quickly. Before he could even touch Caleb, Sebastian sent him flying with a kick.Saul rolled over the
The most extreme pain in the world was the pain of bones breaking. Reuben had been lucky enough to experience that pain more than ten times within a very short period of time.If Sebastian hadn't pierced him with that needle, Reuben would have gone mad with the pain.However, no matter how much he struggled and yelled, Sebastian just acted as if he couldn't hear him. He continued to step all over Reuben's body impassively.Every time his foot landed on a spot, it was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking and shattering.The entire yard was silent except for the howling of the wind and the sound of Reuben's screams, as well as the shattering of his bones.As everyone watched him silently, even the Yvantonian Warriors who had tried to stop Belinda and the others previously couldn't help shuddering. They felt as if they were being tortured the way Reuben was. A female reporter squeezed out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, please! Please have mercy on him. He… H
The hundreds of Yvantonian Warriors standing in the center of the yard couldn't help but gasp. Just how strong did Sebastian have to be to pull off Caleb's arm with his bare hands?Sebastian looked so thin and frail. He didn't look strong at all."You! Stop it right now!" Saul shouted, rushing forward to stop Sebastian.Before he reached Caleb, Sebastian turned sharply. There was a cold, murderous look in his eyes, and it frightened Saul so much that he skidded to a halt."Do you have anything to say?" Sebastian asked frostily. Saul swallowed and mustered up his courage. He yelled angrily, "You can't treat Caleb like that! He's the bishop's—"Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him. There was a loud smack, and Saul was lifted off his feet with the force of it. He spun in the air before falling onto the ground."You're so noisy!" Sebastian dusted off his hands and turned to walk toward Reuben.Reuben had wet his pants in fear when he saw Sebastian pulling off Caleb's arm.
Sebastian didn't even need to use the Indigo Thunder God tactic to deal with Caleb and Reuben. With their powers and level of skill, they were no match for him at all, not even if there had been ten of them.Caleb ran toward him and suddenly picked up speed. The curved sword in his hand gleamed coldly as it aimed for Sebastian's left rib cage. At the same time, Reuben wielded his sword and thrust it at Sebastian's right rib cage. The two of them attacked from both left and right simultaneously, but Sebastian just stepped forward at a measured pace. It looked like a leisurely move, but one step brought him over 20 feet away. Caleb and Reuben's curved swords had been about to slice into Sebastian when he suddenly disappeared from their sight. The two of them stopped quickly.However, they were still a step too late. They had been using so much force that their curved swords clashed against each other, throwing up sparks. It was clear that they had used all their strength to try
Reuben and Caleb burst into gleeful laughter. If not for Belinda's answer, they wouldn't have been so bold. Belinda sneered as she looked at the shameless men. She decided inwardly that they would only live for another three days!However, just as Caleb and Reuben thought they were safe, Sebastian strode forward and said calmly, "You don't have to regret it. I can fight against the two of you on my own. Not only can you wear brass knuckles, but you can even use daggers or swords. I'm alright with anything."The smile on Saul's face froze."Madam, didn't you agree that the martial arts battle has ended for today?" Saul demanded, pointing at Sebastian.Belinda smiled slightly and said, "Like you said, he's not part of the Warrior League. What right do I have to stop him?"Saul was rendered speechless.Sebastian wasn't part of the Warrior League, and he had said so himself. Belinda didn't have any right to stop Sebastian.Caleb clenched his teeth and exchanged looks with Reuben.
Saul grinned triumphantly. He hadn't expected Blake to throw down the dagger at all. He had only stepped forward to stop the battle so that he could stall for time.Blake's wound was bone-deep. Since he had pulled out the dagger, the wound was bleeding continuously. Losing too much blood could be fatal to a Warrior.He was unwittingly helping Caleb gain an advantage."Ha! Die, Dramonian!" Caleb exclaimed. He strode forward and struck a punch. A gleam of silver shot toward Blake's chest.Although Blake didn't know what the shining object was, he could feel a sense of extreme danger. He dodged quickly to avoid Caleb's punch.However, he did not dodge quickly enough, and it grazed his abdomen. He felt a piercing pain at once, and Blake realized that Caleb was wearing brass knuckles.However, the brass knuckles were different from ordinary ones. There was a steel needle that was about an inch long on the middle finger.Blake said angrily, "Caleb, you are shameless! How can you wear
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
