When he saw these eight people, Cyril’s heart dropped to rock bottom. He knew that he was doomed today, but he would not give up without a fight! “Are you here to kill me?” Cyril sneered as he asked. Without waiting for an answer, he increased his aura to its peak and said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you. After all, I’m a disciple who just entered the sixth zone!” A thunder-like roar echoed throughout the mountain forest. Birds and beasts scattered! Cyril’s demeanor was no longer like a normal person at this moment and was extremely fierce! The eight people did not waste any words with Cyril at all and just charged at him! They were disciples of the fourth and fifth zones with very strong overall combat effectiveness! Bang, thud! Rumble! Instantly, the place was engulfed by the battle. Cyril wandered among the eight people and fought non-stop. Both parties launched killing moves. Cyril was a disciple of the sixth zone, after all. His comprehension and control o
Cyril roared in pain, “Argh! How dare you?!” However, before Cyril could continue, Philip’s fist slammed into Cyril’s face like a meteor with raging airwaves! Bang! In an instant, Cyril flew out like a ray of light! Boom! He smashed through more than a dozen towering trees and fell to the ground. As he slid across, a deep pit of dozens of meters was razed on the ground. Smoke billowed! When Cyril fell to the ground and was about to get up, Philip was already in front of him. He raised his foot and stomped on Cyril’s chest. Crack! The sound of broken ribs resounded through the forest trail again! Cyril roared in pain and lost all ability and will to resist. “Argh! You’re so cruel! Let go of me. I’m the master of Terrain Villa and the head of the Hopper family in Beechwood City. You…” Cyril roared but his words were distorted by the pain in his leg and chest. “So annoying!” Philip said coldly and raised his hand to form a sword from condensed air. Puff!
Soon, Ernest took a special car to the villa where Stanley lived. This was a property owned by the Berry family in Beechwood City with a moderate size equivalent to a soccer field. The villa looked like a white castle surrounded by trees and flowers. After being verified by the guards at the entrance, Ernest walked into the hall of the villa. At this moment, inside the hall, Stanley stood by the window looking at the scenery in the courtyard. “Young Master Berry, you have to help me!” Ernest entered the door and knelt on the floor. Stanley turned around, looked at the kneeling Ernest, and said mildly, “I already know everything. To be honest, I don't like what you did. We could’ve easily defeated Philip in a fair game, but for your selfish intentions, you sent disciple assassins to kidnap the Warren and Hart families. You can’t keep this matter under wraps. Although you have people in the Supernatural Bureau, they’ll definitely sell you out to protect themselves. What do
After saying that, Ernest silently left the hall. Stanley sat on the sofa in the hall, took a sip of tea, and said, “Help me get in touch with Mr. Fern of the Northern Division in the Supernatural Bureau.” … Back to Philip’s side. After he returned to the hotel, Leon found him and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, Mr. Sacha of the Southern Supernatural Bureau division has been waiting in the side hall.” Philip hummed and headed toward the side hall without delay. When the door opened, he saw a middle-aged man with a potbelly. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and sat on the sofa, where he drank tea and ate snacks comfortably. As Philip walked in, the fat middle-aged man put down the snacks in his hand, got up with a smile, and said with a bow, “Young Patriarch Clarke, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Brad Sacha. You’re indeed a talented and good-looking young man. You’re a good role model for the younger generation. With young talent like Young Patriarch Clarke in the South, it’s
Brad panicked! He looked at the documents in his hands. Every charge and allegation wasenough to send his head rolling! “Slander! This is slander! These are all false accusations. They’re not done by me at all! How could I have done such things?” Brad roared in agitation and said with panic, “Young Patriarch Clarke, how could you joke about this kind of thing? Have I offended you? Are you framing me?” Brad said with certainty that everything was forged by Philip. Philip chuckled and said coldly, “Brad, things have reached this point. How long do you think you can hide? As the leader of the Southern Division in the Supernatural Bureau, you dare to collude with external enemies! You suppressed the incident of the Warren and Hart families because you have unspeakable dealings with Terrain Villa! Do you want evidence? Alright, I'll give it to you! Men, bring Cyril Hopper here!” Brad shuddered at Philip’s order. Cyril Hopper? Did he betray Brad? Then, two heavily armed gua
Philip sneered and said, “Cyril, if you want to survive and save all your family members, tell the truth. Tell me if the Southern Division of the Supernatural Bureau colluded with you in the incident involving the Warren and Hart families.” Cyril’s eyes flickered as he gritted his teeth and glanced at Brad who had an ugly scowl on his face. He dared not say anything because his whole family was under Brad’s supervision. If he said anything, his entire family would die in the next second! Cyril shook his head and said in a low, weak voice, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I don't know what you’re talking about. I don't know Mr. Sacha at all. This is our first meeting.” Hearing Cyril’s sensible remark, Brad said smugly, “Listen, Young Patriarch Clarke. I don’t know Villa Master Hopper at all. So, those false accusations are slander. You’re framing me.” Hearing this, Philip frowned, looked down at Cyril, and said, “Cyril, you don't have many chances. If you don’t tell the truth now, a
He had to point everyone out? Brad panicked. He would offend many people if he did that. Could he still survive then? With that thought, Brad shook his head and said, “I can’t do that, Young Patriarch Clarke. If I point everyone out, I’ll die all the same.” Philip snorted coldly and said, “Do you think you’ll have a chance to survive in front of the director?” Brad trembled at that remark. It was better to offend everyone else than to be punished by the director! Thus, Brad slumped to the floor, his eyes dull. Seeing his state, Philip did not dwell on this topic and said to Leon behind him, “Villa Master Jefferson, please send someone to watch over Mr. Sacha and make sure he's properly fed and served. After the disciple competition two days later, bring him in.” “Yes, Young Patriarch Clarke,” Leon responded. He was very excited because Philip’s means were simply too explosive! He took down Brad Sacha in such a short time. He was the person in charge of the South
The door of the ancient building was closed, and the room was dark and secluded. Only two rows of dim lamps were lit on both sides of the hall, which seemed very quiet. In the main hall, there were two pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes on each side. On both sides of the pillars, there were ponds about half an arm deep with lotus lamps and some small black fish. 13 steps led up to a high platform at the end of the hall. An ancient podium carved with a dragon stood atop the high platform. At this moment, a withered old man with scant gray hair and a hunched back sat cross-legged on the podium. After Ernest entered, he immediately bent down, walked cautiously to the bottom of the steps, and prostrated on the floor. He greeted, “Grandmaster.” The old man on the podium opened his profound eyes, looked at the kneeling Ernest below, and said in a gruff, deep voice, “Get up.” Ernest stood up but was still bent over. The old man on the podium asked, “Is something wro
Although the other races were at odds with Philip, they had a common enemy, so there was no need to trigger a conflict. Although the merfolk were uncertain about Philip’s reaction, they joined the battle too. Although Philip did not indicate that he would help them, Philip was fighting. As long as they won, they would survive. “Keep it up. Don’t let Philip down. Let’s do our best and show Philip what we can do!” the merfolk roared. They knew that it was not easy to show their strength. They had suffered greatly in the previous battle. They were lucky enough to be alive right now. Philip knew that they were injured, but he had no intention of helping them. Although not all the merfolk were bad, their leader was a different story. If that high and mighty chief was willing to approach him and show his servitude, Philip might consider giving him a chance. However, he was still putting on airs, which was simply a joke. As Philip fought, he saw the merfolk fighting too. Although th
The merfolk begging Philip for help did not think Philip had done anything wrong in the previous incident. They knew what happened to their holy maiden was related to Tom. Philip was not at fault at all. Many of them also had some opinions about the merfolk chief, but they had to keep their mouths shut if they wanted to survive.They were really scared this time. The merfolk begged Philip on their knees. Although undignified, it was the only way to survive. Other races stared at the merfolk in surprise, wondering what was going on. Many people knew that the merfolk had suffered a great blow, but they never thought they would become so cowardly. What happened to the merfolk was not a secret. Everyone knew about their holy maiden. However, most of them did not know the details. They thought the merfolk simply encountered some difficulties. Coupled with the appearance of the demons, everyone gradually forgot about it. Seeing the merfolk again, their curiosity was piqued. “W
Aslan and the others scowled at the empty space. There was no exit in this direction. Everyone was worried. There was nowhere to run even if they wanted to. “Philip, we have been surrounded. We can only go through the black energy if we want to leave!” Aslan said anxiously. He did not have to touch it to know how toxic the black energy was. “Don’t touch that thing!” Black Rabbit jumped out in a panic. “I saw some stubborn people going through the black energy and dying of poison!” Philip sighed. They could not afford any more deaths. The statue was clearly triggered by the dead people’s blood. At this rate, they would be in big trouble. Everyone was in the same boat. They could not afford any careless mistakes. “Forget it. We can’t handle them. Do we have any pills that can withstand that black energy or any armor to protect ourselves?” Aslan suggested. Philip waved his hand. “It’s too late.” The black energy was slowly forming a human shape. Everyone followed Phi
Someone was brave enough to touch the black energy. At one touch, he realized the error of his ways because he was devoured by it. He turned into a puff of blood mist with no chance of recovery at all. Some people took out some pills and stuffed them into their mouths, but they lost consciousness before the pills took effect. They turned into puffs of blood mist and vanished into the air, but Philip noticed something. He looked in the direction where the blood mist disappeared. The blood mist was following an invisible route to a black statue. Philip would not have believed that there was a huge and terrifying statue in this place if he had not followed the blood mist. He watched as the wisps of blood merged into the statue, turning it red. The statue looked terrifying. Only the statue’s eyeballs remained black while the rest was an eerie blood red. “We can’t have more people dying.” Philip scowled and told everyone what he had seen. At this rate, he was worried about what
“I know that you’re Philip Clarke. I've heard many things about you. I want to discuss a deal with you.” The young man smiled calmly as if he understood Philip very well. “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wayne White. I think we should be around the same age, so you can call me whatever you want.” Philip nodded at his sincere introduction. He would not refuse a deal. He was a good judge of character. The young man looked pretty friendly, so Philip decided to have a good chat with him. They went to a deserted corner and started chatting. Philip remained excited throughout the whole process. It was surprising to gain so much from the conversation. “I’m aware of the demon invasion and the Spade family, but it’s not easy for someone like you to expose everything.” Philip was surprised that Wayne knew about it. After all, few people knew that Philip was related to the case. Wayne not only guessed his involvement but also approached him, which proved that he was a talent of
“I was teleported to a secret space, and someone who looked exactly like me appeared! No matter what I did, that thing could deal with me. To think that it could copy my abilities was simply over the top!” The major families let their guards down and gathered to discuss it, expressing their fear. Philip stood observing this mysterious place without paying attention to them. “Philip, we’re out. That encounter was so weird. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, that thing would've gotten its way!” Aslan approached Philip nervously, surprised by this development. He was not afraid when he saw a guy who looked exactly like him, but he started panicking when the other party used the same moves as him. “That thing was a force to be reckoned with,” Aslan exclaimed nervously, but no one knew if he was praising himself or the other party. Two hours passed by in a flash. As more and more people appeared, some people were happy while others were sad. Many small families were not confi
No one expected to encounter attacks from their own kind, so they could not tell if it was an illusion or reality. Their counter-attacks seemed powerless against those enemies too. The opponents’ attacks caused huge damage to them so resistance was futile. “Captain, we can’t hold on any longer. What’s going on?” “How can we escape from this damn place? We’ll die if we don’t leave now!” “Think of a way to leave this place at once!” Everyone roared in the face of this difficulty. Compared to humans, however, they were quite lucky. After entering this area, the humans found themselves surrounded by their own projections. Everyone was on guard against this bizarre phenomenon. Before they figured out what happened, their projections attacked them. The opponent's attack was steady, accurate, and ruthless, hitting their vital points. One careless move and one would simply die on the spot. Some people could not react in time and turned into a puff of dust. The quicker ones simp
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly. The cynocephaly saw this scene and came up with an idea to wreak havoc! “Find Philip!” the leader of the cynocephali ordered, and his people quickly sprang into action. The cynocephali were quick on their feet, and combined with their strong sense of smell, it was easy for them to find Philip's trace. Philip and the others did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. They looked around calmly. They knew that an unspeakable conspiracy was waiting for them, so they were just waiting for it. The cynocephaly quickly surrounded Philip and his team, and they spread the news to other races. The other races were very anxious and not in the mood to bother about this, but they kept an eye on the situation for fear that Philip would do something weird. Philip was unfazed. Although they were surrounded, Philip was not nervous at all and even looked forward to it. “Philip, I just confirmed that there’s no sign of the rabbit family’s true god he
The cynocephali laughed and entered the bronze door. They had achieved their goal, so there was no point in staying. It would be better to enter the bronze door and find their true god. The cynocephali never thought that their words could create such a commotion. All the major races and humans were annoyed with Philip now, and they would not allow anyone to affect their interests. Philip had no idea that he had become the target of public outrage. He and his team were still rushing forward. It was foggy along the way, and no one could see what was ahead. Philip frowned as he looked around but saw no traces of the true gods. “This thing about the true gods, is it true? We’ve been here for so long, but there’s nothing!” Aslan expressed his doubt. This place was not as simple as they imagined. Although Philip did not speak, his gaze reflected his thoughts. If they were not powerful practitioners, they would not be able to see anything in this fog. “Maybe only the families
