Sebastian carried Rosalie away from the Griffin residence and booked a suite at a five-star hotel. After resting for a while, Rosalie felt much better.Sebastian then asked, "Why are you suddenly marrying Stephen?""It's not me who wants to marry him. My mom is forcing me to!" Rosalie replied angrily.She then explained the situation. Her mother had tricked her into returning to Janover by claiming there was a problem with the Griffin family. Once back, her uncle, Alec had her confined. At first, Rosalie resisted, but then Alec drugged her with Rohypnol.Sebastian's face darkened. "Your mother is ruthless.""I will never speak to her again!" Rosalie declared angrily."So what do you plan to do now?""What else can I do? I'm definitely not marrying Stephen!" Rosalie said firmly. She then looked at Sebastian with a sudden smile. "Maybe I should marry you instead. That way, my mom can't do anything about it."Sebastian frowned. "I think it's better if I just take you back home
"I know him?" Stephen frowned.Madison continued, "Sebastian from Steinberg. He trespassed my house just now and took Rosalie away."Stephen was infuriated at the news. "Fuck! This bastard is now causing trouble in Janover!" Stephen's face twisted with anger.He was taught a lesson by Sebastian in Steinberg because he wasn't familiar with that place. But now, this was Janover, the territory of the Beckard family!Stephen didn't care anymore and said to his subordinate, "Call some men with me. Let's go get Rosalie.""Alright, Mr. Beckard," replied the subordinate."Wait!" Stephen shouted. "Yes?" the subordinate asked.Stephen frowned and spoke in a low tone, "Call more men. Also, call the five elders from our courtyard. Tonight, apart from bringing Rosalie back, I want Sebastian dead!""Got it!" The subordinate then went to arrange it.Alec and Madison gave each other a look and said, "Mr. Beckard, we'll leave you to it and go back first. We look forward to your good news!"
Stephen's hundreds of guards charged at Sebastian with a deafening roar. The hotel lobby was thrown into chaos, filled with shouting and the rush of bodies.Sebastian's eyes narrowed, and his face darkened. Without wasting a breath, he sprang into action.In the blink of an eye, Sebastian moved like lightning, disappearing from view. The next moment, cries of agony erupted.Ten of the guards were sent flying, clutching their chests as they hit the ground, coughing up blood and dying instantly.Before the others could react, a dark blur passed by them. Sebastian moved swiftly, breaking arms with a sickening crack. Then, screams of pain filled the air. It was a complete massacre.The hundreds of Beckard family guards barely caught a glimpse of Sebastian before they saw their comrades falling one after another. His figure flickered like a ghost, appearing and disappearing before their eyes.Within moments, all the guards were down. They were writhing on the ground and groaning
It was bone-chilling cold.Just when Sebastian was lost in thought, Zephyr had already made his move. He raised his hand and planted his feet on the ground before shooting toward Sebastian. He was almost skimming the floor!As he raised his hand, a black ghostly claw gathered in his palm, and he fiercely struck at Sebastian's chest!If this strike landed, it would be fatal.Sebastian could also feel the terrifying evil energy contained in this attack. It was indeed someone from the Evilax Sect.The style of this technique confirmed it beyond doubt."From the Evilax Sect, huh? Who gave you the courage to strike at me?" Sebastian said coldly.Upon hearing this, Zephyr became furious and yelled. "Ignorant brat!"With a roar, the black evil energy in his palm seemed to boil as he struck toward Sebastian.Sebastian snorted coldly, raised his hand, and similarly sent a palm strike through the air."Hmm?"The other four retainers frowned upon seeing this, their eyes filled with ast
After Zephyr finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved. The faint red evil spirit behind him leaped toward Sebastian. Wherever it passed, it was like being struck by a storm. The floor tiles shattered, and the walls, doors, windows, and furnishings all cracked and burst apart. Even the chandeliers above exploded one by one with a popping sound.Upon seeing this scene, the other four retainers also showed disdain toward Sebastian."Mr. Nolan is really angry. No one can survive under this evil spirit.""It's been many years since I've seen Zephyr act like this.""Looking at this momentum, it seems that Zephyr's strength has improved again."Several people nodded in succession as they commented on Zephyr.Stephen, who saw the terrifying blood-red evil spirit, was also scared. He apparently had not seen this situation before.It was so scary.Was this what martial arts sects practiced?No wonder his father often instructed him to respect the worshipers in their house."Se
"This is the Sky Devouring Bottle?" Zephyr was so excited that his face was twisted.He did not expect to see the legendary Sky Devouring Bottle in his lifetime.Then, the greed in Zephyr's heart was aroused! The other four retainers also showed greedy expressions upon hearing the words "Sky Devouring Bottle."In an instant, the four retainers, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped forward. Their eyes were fixed greedily on Sebastian."Hand over the Sky Devouring Bottle! We might spare your life!""This thing is beyond your control. Hand it over!""If you don't want to die, give me the bottle!"The four retainers stared intently at the Sky Devouring Bottle in Sebastian's hand.Sebastian laughed mockingly and said coldly, "What? You want to take the Sky Devouring Bottle from me? I'm afraid you don't have the capability!""How arrogant!""Very reckless!""Everyone, let's attack together and finish him off! As for the Sky Devouring Bottle, we can discuss it after
At Janover's Department of Defense.In a heavily guarded office, a dozen elderly men with gray hair and dressed in military uniforms were seated. Each bore stars on their shoulders. They were an assembly of generals.A stern-faced elder with a square jaw and an air of authority wore a military green uniform adorned with five gold stars. His mere presence commanded respect.He stood in front of a massive screen, with his hands clasped behind his back and expression grave as he watched a constantly flashing red dot on the electronic display."Celestial?" The elder's face darkened as he stared at the flashing dot on the screen. "Send a team to investigate what's happening.""Yes, sir." A soldier promptly left the conference room.Meanwhile, at the Ballard family estate in Janover, the entire manor was perched atop a mountain and exuded magnificence.The manor gave off a majestic and awe-inspiring atmosphere, with the entire mountain belonging to the Ballard family in Janover. A
It was terrifying indeed. Zephyr was a Supreme Grandmaster, yet Sebastian killed one with just a finger."He's crazy!" Stephen screamed in terror.The remaining four Supreme Grandmasters were also horrified, their scalps tingling as they frantically tried to escape in different directions. They needed to survive. All they could think of now was survival. Facing off against a Celestial was a complete dead end.However, before these four Supreme Grandmasters could flee, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared before them!Following that, strands of golden ribbons encircled the entire hotel building."It's the Celestial Light Formation!""Celestial Light Formation!"The four Supreme Grandmasters were filled with horror at the sight of these light ribbons. If one were to look down from high above, one would see the entire hotel building wrapped in a golden light array.Strands of light ribbons, adorned with cryptic runes and patterns, encircled and enveloped the entire struct
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
