The law enforcement team all stared at Sebastian in shock. Was he going to kill more than 100 members of the Lynch family on his own?Maclin and Calder didn't doubt it at all. If Branson or Kody were here, the Lynches wouldn't be a match for them even if they all gathered together, but even the two of them working together had almost died by Sebastian's hand.If Sebastian wanted to slaughter the entire Lynch family, it would be a piece of cake. At that thought, Maclin and Calder had no choice but to retreat until they were out of the front yard, looking in from afar. When the law enforcement team saw that the Gladius Sect members had left meekly, they followed suit as well.Candy stared in disbelief at the others' retreating figure, looking dazed. She had thought that she knew Sebastian very well and that she was nothing compared to the entire Lynch family.However, reality had taught her a vivid lesson. She had severely underestimated Sebastian's abilities, as well as his infl
Chandler had echoed the heart of all martial arts practitioners in Dramon for the past 5,000 years. Sebastian nodded and said, "As expected of a member of the Gladius Sect. You have very high morals. What a pity! It's a huge pity!"Chandler could hear Sebastian's determination in his voice. Even if the Lynches decided not to fight that night, Sebastian would still not forgive them."Is there no other way?" Chandler asked, turning to look at Sebastian.Sebastian shook his head slightly and asked Unus, "Aren't you hungry?"Unus' eyes lit up at once. That was the best news he had heard for the past few days!Bartemius looked at Sebastian in confusion. He didn't understand why he kept asking the burly man beside him whether or not he was hungry.Laurie stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian as he yelled, "Ballard, there are over 100 of us. Even if we only punch you one time each, we can turn you into mincemeat!""One punch each? You'd have to be able to throw out that punch firs
Daxton collapsed and lay on the floor, convulsing violently.In the blink of an eye, over half of the Lynches' apprentices had been swallowed up by Unus.Bartemius stared at Unus in shock. He had swallowed over 50 people alive. But why hadn't his stomach expanded at all?Both Calder and Maclin felt their hairs stand on end with fear. Based on his tongue, which stretched out for several feet, they could only surmise that Unus was some kind of snake.However, they had no idea what kind of snake would be so ferocious. The truth was that they were laughably wrong. Unus wasn't a snake at all. He was a Devora!Even if their mentor was there, he wouldn't have recognized something like that. After all, Devoras had only appeared three times in tens of thousands of years of history. The first time they appeared was when the six kingdoms had been united into one by the First Emperor.The second was during the time of the Nomad King, although it had been wrongly named as another kind of
Unus finally stopped fighting with the Lynches and revealed his true form. A humongous snake with black scales and a dragon's head that was close to 300 feet tall reared up into the sky. His bloody maw opened gently, and a strong suction force immediately pulled everyone in the Lynch family."Huh? What's that?" Maclin almost wet his pants in fright. It was a dragon!However, upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right. Dragons had four talons, but Unus' true form did not have any. Its body was smooth and pitch black, but it had the head of a dragon. It looked as if a dragon had been grafted onto a snake, or the other way around.It looked very strange, and there was a cursed energy emanating from it that sent a chill down everyone's spine.Unus' slightly open mouth was like a strong vacuum. The apprentices of the Lynch family were all sucked up into mid-air before falling right into his mouth. In a moment of distraction, Bartemius was also sucked up into the air.
Cohen looked rather troubled as he said, "I'm not sure how to say this, Mr. Ballard. Please come to the Martial Arts Court, and you'll understand!"Sebastian nodded slightly and said to Unus, "Let's go!"As Candy watched Sebastian walk off, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart.Sebastian was so powerful! Why hadn't he said so earlier?Didn't men like showing off their strength and power in front of women? Why had he kept hiding his powers from her?If she had known earlier about how strong Sebastian was, she wouldn't have thought twice about giving herself completely to him."What should we do, Ms. Candy?" one of her bodyguards asked. They could no longer live in that villa when over 100 people had died in the yard. They had to move as soon as possible. Clearly, the villa was now a cursed place.Candy hesitated for a moment before calling one of her best friends. …When Sebastian was invited into the Martial Arts Court, he saw over a dozen corpses at the entrance an
Cohen bowed deeply to Sebastian as he spoke.Sebastian waved a hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, Mr. Gabbard. Mount Quiln is very dangerous, and that expert from a mystic sect has disappeared without a trace. "If you don't want to let more people become desiccated corpses, it'll be better to seal off the entrance to Mount Quiln and prevent anyone from entering!" Joaquin immediately said to Cohen, "Did you hear that? Starting today, Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court must send someone to seal off the entrance. No one is allowed to go in or out!""Yes, sir!" Cohen nodded vigorously.Joaquin was already being very lenient in not pursuing the matter further. The crimes that Cohen had committed were worthy of the death penalty. "Mr. Ballard, I've arranged for a hotel in Acorn City's central area. You should go and have a shower," Joaquin said ingratiatingly. He took Sebastian to the Aequor, a five-star hotel. The moment they entered, the attendants stood in two rows and bowe
Back in Klane City, Javier had already heard one of Joaquin's attendants mention Sebastian, so he knew that Sebastian was someone even Joaquin had to show respect to. That person was now in Acorn City.It wouldn't be very suitable for someone of Javier's age to try and approach Sebastian, and they wouldn't have many common topics either. It was different for Kayden. They were both young men, and Kayden had a wide variety of interests. He knew what young people were interested in, which would make it easier for him to strike up a friendship. If they could get into the good books of someone as influential as Sebastian, they would gain an advantage over Joaquin. In the future, the Berkeleys could even have the ultimate authority in the whole of Boren. "Acorn City is in such a remote area. What kind of important figure would come here?" Kayden asked dismissively. Javier thought for a moment before asking, "Don't you think that someone who can make Joaquin humble himself is an im
Sebastian and Nina arrived at the hotel restaurant for a meal, accompanied by Rocco."Mr. Ballard, please sit here," Rocco said, leading Sebastian to the best seat in the restaurant and shooting the waiter a look.He had instructed the chefs to prepare the food specially for Sebastian before they even arrived. Moments later, a dozen waiters served up beautifully plated dishes of food."Mr. Ballard, this was made specially for you and Ms. Nina by a top chef whom our hotel brought in from Janover. Please enjoy." Sebastian and Nina picked up their cutlery and put some food into their mouths. Nina nodded in satisfaction. "This poached fish is delicious!"Sebastian pointed to a plate of salad opposite him and said, "This salad is also very good!"At that moment, the restaurant doors opened and a large group of people streamed in.Kayden was at the head of the group, with Candy following closely behind him as they entered. The moment Sebastian had returned to Acorn City, someone
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom
Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,
Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p
Kayden watched Sebastian walk off and gritted his teeth. "Sebastian Ballard! If you dare to return to Acorn City, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!""Mr. Berkeley, there's no need to get yourself worked up over someone like that. Violet said that she would help you deal with him, didn't she?" Candy said icily. Kayden huffed angrily and hurried back to the car. Colton and Jayden followed hastily. …After they entered the forest, Scott led Sebastian to a hill. He pointed at the paw prints on the ground and said, "Look, Mr. Ballard!"Sebastian didn't look in the direction that Scott was pointing at. Instead, he focused warily on the sounds around them. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over them, bringing the pungent smell of blood. The leaves in the forest rustled noisily as they were battered by the wind."It's coming!" Sebastian said calmly.Scott jumped in fright and hastily retreated behind Sebastian. Cohen looked warily around them. There was an old saying which sai
Scott seemed used to it and didn't even look up. As he ate, he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, don't be surprised. This is a common occurrence!"Sebastian glanced at him and took another large bite of beef. He smiled and said, "You're alone here. Aren't you afraid?""Afraid? Is there any use in being afraid?" Scott asked. "To be honest, I've been transferred here for almost three months, and no one's come to replace me yet. They told me at the beginning that we'd be changed once a month!"Then, he turned and gave Cohen a meaningful look."Someone will come and replace you next month," Cohen said, although it was obviously an empty promise.At that moment, a black SUV drove into Flemin Village and headed straight toward the villas.At the entrance to the neighborhood where the villas were, a few young men and women got out of the car. One of the young women was supporting a young man, who was limping. They walked toward the villas. Among the young men and women, a few of them w
In the process of the investigation, the police had discovered that some of the houses in the village still had their lights on and that there was still food cooking on the stoves. However, the people in the houses seemed to have all disappeared into thin air.From then on, Flemin Village had become a deserted place that no one dared to live in.As for the villas, no one knew when they had been built, nor did anyone know who the owners of the villas were. However, the sound of ghostly wails and screams could often be heard inside. Even the deacons from the local Martial Arts Court wouldn't go near them if they could help it. It was rumored that all the wronged spirits of the villagers were in those villas. Someone had once looked in the windows of the villas in the middle of the night, and they had been filled with fearful human faces. However, during the day, the villas were unusually quiet. There was no sign of human activity in any of them."Mr. Gabbard, you seem to be ve
