Philip’s mind went blank at this sight. Was the sandman actually crying? How was this possible? It was something made of sand. How could it have feelings? “This is weird. Why do I have the feeling that I’ve killed the wrong person?” Philip muttered before he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. When Philip was about to ask another question, he suddenly found some changes coming over the sandman. The sand on the sandman’s body started falling off, exposing some clothes, followed by his body. Very soon, the sandman taken down by Philip had turned into a living person. “Run quickly!” The man said to Philip before looking at the ground at his feet. Philip followed the other party's gaze and found that the two sandmen he blasted apart just now had turned into two corpses. They were two females, one older and one younger, seemingly mother and daughter. The girl looked very similar to the man in Philip’s hands, and Philip’s heart jolted. Were they a family of three?
This sword energy separated the two apart. Philip narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the sword energy. Although he could not see what was there, the other party must have regarded him as the enemy. As he pondered, Laurie had made a move. Although her methods were not direct and forthcoming, the power of her movements was not lacking, and she actually blocked the attack of the sword energy. Philip was more curious about Laurie's identity now because not only did she know a little about everything, but she was also very skilled. An idea popped into Philip’s mind. He wanted to see how powerful Laurie actually was. “Let's act separately and see if we can catch this thing.” As soon as he finished speaking, Philip jumped high into the air. He looked like a big eagle with its wings spread wide open, and his purpose was to have an overview of the entire Devil's Courtyard. Although the Devil's Courtyard was surrounded by gloomy vibes, he could vaguely see a tower-l
Seeing him stop, Laurie halted too. She pursed her lips and said, “Of course, I am. Why else would I be here?” Although Laurie’s tone was not very polite, the swordsman did not take it to heart and swung his sword into the sheath. “I can’t be bothered to argue with a young girl like you. Forget it. It’s your luck for us to bump into each other. Hand over your token.” Laurie was startled by the swordsman’s remarks. Laurie asked in puzzlement, “What token? The Heroes Conference hasn’t started yet, has it?” It was the swordsman's turn to be dumbfounded. His mind exploded as his body shook violently. He seemed to have thought of something and asked hoarsely, “Are you saying that the Heroes Conference hasn't started yet? Are you a new batch of participants?” Laurie nodded. Of course, she was in the new batch of participants. “Impossible. This can’t be real. Have I been living in an illusion for so many years?” The swordsman dropped his sword to the ground and put his head
Before the two of them got too far, Philip suddenly heard a man's voice. “Stop!” Philip turned back and found a man standing behind him. The man's face was fleshy and ferocious looking with no trace of friendliness at all. He stared at Philip and said, “Everyone is asking you about the situation in the Devil’s Courtyard, but you’re acting all high and mighty. We’re asking you because we think highly of you. Do you have to be so pretentious?” He was not polite at all, and Philip narrowed his eyes as a chill flashed across his face. The Heroes Conference had not even started yet, and this place was already packed with a mix of people. However, the more this happened, the more confused Philip felt. He wondered why the people who held the Heroes Conference gathered all these people here. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. “Everyone, please calm down and listen to me.” It was an old man with a kind face who looked at everyone with a smile. “I’m the manager of the
Everyone heard his question clearly. The old man waved his hand lightly, and all the kindness on his face was wiped away in an instant. “That's not too difficult to handle.” The old man snapped his fingers. A ray of lightning flashed from the towering building and struck the man with a ferocious face. The man screamed. The electric current stuck to his body and pulled him into the clouds. The old man looked at everyone and said, “If there’s anyone else like him, I don't mind inviting you to be guests in the prison of the Heroes Conference. But don't blame me for not reminding you. If you enter the prison, don’t dream of ever leaving for the rest of your life.” Hearing that, everyone fell silent. With such an iron-handed method, no one dared to pose any objections. Besides, some smart people had discovered many people lying in ambush around. If any uncontrollable factors appeared, they would definitely come out immediately. The old man's eyes fell on Philip again.
Philip finally realized that this place was already full of people, but unlike the wandering warriors outside, the people here were far superior in terms of demeanor, presence, and practice level. Philip frowned as he looked around. There was no sign of Laurie. As he wondered, he heard someone saying, “Everyone present here today is about to enter the Devil's Courtyard. This will be your battle arena.” Philip jolted slightly. He observed the others and found that their practice level was relatively high, and only these people were selected to enter the Devil's Courtyard. Was this done intentionally by the people behind the scenes? After hearing that the Devil's Courtyard was their battle arena, these arrogant people felt smug about it because in their opinion, this was a symbol of status and advanced practice level. However, Philip shook his head. He knew that the Devil's Courtyard was not an easy place to handle. Moreover, they were given special attention, which already i
As soon as the words were spoken, there was the sound of wild animals approaching from a distance. When Philip saw this scene, he knew very well that the purpose was to separate the contestants and prevent them from joining forces. However, these beasts were unable to stop talent practitioners. Sure enough, elemental practitioners immediately confronted the tens of thousands of beasts. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth… All the practitioners with different elemental powers launched their strongest attacks. However, Philip chose to dodge. While these people were attacking, he took this opportunity to run far away. “Some people are scared sh*tless by a few beasts and chose to run away. You guys are a disgrace to practitioners.” At this moment, someone still had the time to mock people like Philip who chose to run. However, he regretted it in the next second because those beasts actually swallowed them without any regard. Of course, they were not swallowed literally bu
Seeing this person’s approach, Philip moved abruptly. Flames raged all over his body, and Caelum Sword appeared in his hand. The flaming Caelum Sword stabbed that man. That person was not to be outdone either. Countless patterns suddenly appeared on his face, and his energy seemed to increase several times. Although his energy surged, his movements attracted countless monsters around him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Philip rushed forward in front of that person. Caelum Sword was stabbed forcefully into the other party’s stomach before Philip disappeared in a flash again. He did not want to be the target of so many monsters. Meanwhile, the surrounding battles were in a tragic state. Many participants of the Heroes Conference fell. As more and more people died, more and more monsters appeared in the Devil's Courtyard. This seemed to be a place where various species gathered in this Starfall Continent. There were lizardmen, giants, and modified cyborgs am
