Philip’s action was not obvious. The green life essence was like little snakes. They suddenly exploded after they swam above the energy mine. When the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court looked back, they merely noticed that something was wrong with this energy mine. Raven naturally saw everything, but he did not say anything because he knew that Philip was doing this to save him. The roars of the beasts got closer and closer, almost arriving. They had been staying next to the underwater energy mine for a long time and had long regarded this place as their territory, so any commotion would definitely arouse their caution. The battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court looked solemn, but that did not mean they were afraid of these beasts. “Let me interrogate this kid first. As for the things that are coming over, I'll leave them to you.” The leading battle god of the ancient Heavenly Court said leisurely. He did not seem to take the guardian beasts of the energy min
The middle-aged man said that because Fenrir was defeated by his men back then. Fenrir's face darkened at the man’s words. After all, no one wanted to reveal their shame in front of everyone. As the saying went, one should not air one’s dirty laundry in public. However, this middle-aged man not only revealed his shortcomings but also his most humiliating moment. “The 28 zodiacs were said to be invincible back then, so I wonder why only the white tiger in the west is left now.” This was obviously Fenrir's retort against the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man did not take his words to heart at all. “I don’t need to tell you why we left, but are you here today just to provoke us?” The middle-aged man suddenly took a step forward and unleashed his aura. A strong gust of wind hit the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court. Although he did not attack directly, it was obvious that the middle-aged man wanted to intimidate Fenrir. Philip moved quietly toward Raven. He
Philip’s movements were very nimble and subtle. Although Philip knew both parties would notice them the moment he rescued Raven, since they were fighting each other, no one could spare the time to deal with him now. That spurred Philip's confidence. After quietly moving to the entrance, Philip reappeared and pulled Raven before speeding up abruptly. As Raven was seriously injured, he could only allow Philip to take him away. However, he still said stubbornly, “Don’t think that I’ll be grateful to you and give up the idea of killing you just because you saved me once.” Philip smiled. He saved Raven simply because Raven did not reveal his whereabouts at the most critical moment. Philip flicked a smear of life essence on Raven. “I don't need you to be grateful to me. When you noticed my location, you didn’t tell the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court. We’re even.” Seeing that he was out of the range of the cave, Philip slowed down and moved underwater with Raven
This was the center of a vortex, and it did not take Philip too much effort to get there. If not for Philip’s high practice level, ordinary people would need a lot of courage to enter this vortex. The water element in this vortex was huge, and one careless move could tear someone into pieces. However, Philip was not afraid. His water element was fully activated to resist the water pressure from the surroundings. Finally, he saw the whole appearance of the underwater energy mine. The energy stones were stacked like mountains here, and water vapor shrouded these energy stones. From time to time, colorful small fish swam back and forth. Corals swayed atop the energy stones, making this place seem like an underwater wonderland. Philip unleashed his rules of insight and found no beasts around, so he knew his guess was correct. Without hesitation, he took off the ring in his hand and pressed it on the energy mine. Buzz! A buzzing sound spread through the underwater world.
The endless flames engulfed those aquatic plants and trees in an instant. The whole energy mine was filled with water vapor. The intense temperature practically boiled the water. The thriving plants and trees withered at this moment. When Philip was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly discovered that the aquatic plants and trees had not stopped growing. On the contrary, the flames he produced seemed to have become their nourishment. At this time, they seemed to be growing on the flames. The aquatic plants and trees wrapped around Philip, rendering him immobile. Philip lamented inwardly. It seemed that the magic circle left by the white tiger zodiac was really not that easy to deal with. The Caelum Sword suddenly appeared in Philip's hand, and the fierce sword energy swept through the entire magic circle. Philip activated the chimera sword formation. He wanted to use his formation to fight against the magic circle. The sharp sword energy continuously cut
“I’m going to rip you apart!” Lupus Wolf said as he rushed at Philip. Philip closed his eyes. He was not giving up but activating his swordsmanship substitute. Like a sharp blade, Lupus Wolf’s tail pierced through the treant’s body with tremendous wood elements. Sharp spikes emerged from the treant’s body and stabbed Philip. At this time, Philip's swordsmanship substitute came into play. He detached from the swordsmanship substitute and dashed outside without stopping. The water element covered Philip’s whole body, and he swam in the water like a fish. Every second counted, so Philip did not want to waste any more time with these zodiacs. Lupus Wolf wanted to give chase but was stopped by the middle-aged man. They had fought the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court, but there was no need to continue now. That was because the energy in the energy mine had been taken away by Philip. “Forget it. Stop giving chase. Since the energy mine is worthless now, let’s
From the system's projection, Philip could see the entire ruined city, including every link and every area's movements and activities. The ruined city was like a huge moving clockwork. The iron pillars that were rooted to the ground had disappeared, and the ruined city could now absorb energy from its surroundings to drive the entire city. In an instant, the city floated to the water's surface. “Radar activated. Unknown creatures are approaching. “Mayor, do you want to activate the invisible mode?” Philip was not in a hurry to activate the invisible mode but clicked on the projection to zoom in. He wanted to see what was approaching. When the image displayed on the projection appeared, Philip narrowed his eyes. Those so-called unknown creatures were the people sent by the ancient Heavenly Court. These people were all wearing protective shields. Philip knew that this big commotion he made would definitely be noticed. However, it was inevitable. “The other party i
“Activate the invisible mode.” The system promptly carried out Philip’s order without hesitation. The defense cannons were put away in an instant, and the city was shrouded in a light barrier. Philip's fingers kept clicking on the operation interface. He could not stay in this underwater world forever. Moreover, now that the ancient Heavenly Court had discovered this place, Philip must find another place to hide. The system gave him several suggestions for reference. Philip noticed Blossoms Valley at a glance. He had been to this place before. Although there was a diabolic power inside, the abundance of energy in that place was hard to come by. Moreover, it was still within the territory of the fire phoenix royal family, so Philip could form a collaboration with Conlay Nox. Philip promptly chose Blossoms Valley. “Mayor, do you want to consume one-third of the energy reserve to teleport?” Teleport? Philip was startled. It was the first time he had heard of it, but
The diners were surprised at this scene. As frequent customers, they had never seen the owner appear in person, let alone greet someone. The owner actually took the initiative to walk out today. “Sir, you don’t have to wait any longer. Please take a seat in the private room reserved for you.” The snake woman smiled brightly, obviously very interested in Philip. All the male diners were jealous and wished they had the same opportunity. However, she was here for Philip and ignored everyone else. She did not even spare anyone a glance as she walked away. Although everyone was jealous, they knew that Philip was a capable person. The woman approached Philip probably because of his extraordinary talent, so there was nothing they could do about their jealousy. They had taken part in the competition as well and knew how strong Philip's people were. Just one kid alone took the Wagner family down.Some people felt indignant and wanted to mess with Philip. At this time, a kid walked
Ronan gave Philip a thumbs-up as everyone returned to their meals. His words really carried some weight to command these people with just a casual remark. Philip was unfazed by the compliment. He was staring at a person. To be precise, he was looking at a curtain where a woman behind the curtain was staring at Philip too. She was the owner of this diner, and she was not a human but of a humanoid race. She had the upper body of a human, which was very beautiful and attractive. Anyone would be attracted by her beauty with just one glance. However, she had the lower body of a snake. The diners would turn their heads from time to time and look at the curtain as if trying to catch a glimpse of that woman. A gust of wind would ruffle the curtain from time to time, allowing everyone to see the woman’s face and marvel at her beauty from the bottom of their hearts. Philip sneered at their reaction. They were really stupid for not realizing that she was half-human with a snake’s tail.
Ferocity flashed in Cameron’s eyes. If Ronan refused, things would be difficult. Cameron would never allow such a strong enemy who had a grudge against the family to stay alive. Anyone who posed a threat to the family would arouse his killing intent. Other family members gathered around and expressed their dissatisfaction with Ronan. “Who does he think he is? Is it beneath him to have lunch with us? He really thinks he's a big shot!” “Does he think we’re unworthy to eat with him? How ridiculous!” Everyone complained and thought Ronan was an arrogant person. Ronan was not bothered about their opinions of him at all. He wished they could treat him as their enemy. “Your performance was quite good. The deep-sea merfolk are probably furious by now,” Philip said with a smile. Ronan's performance was indeed outstanding, and his extraordinary actions humiliated the other party. “They must've decided to mess with you during the finals, but I ruined their plan. I’m sure they’ll
Tangy nodded. He would never show any sign of weakness. Tangy knew that Nolly wanted him to continue the battle against Philip. It was also one of his dreams, so he would never give up so easily. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll never let Philip leave this place alive. Since we can’t defeat him openly, let’s settle it in private. I believe he’ll fall into our hands eventually,” Tangy said viciously. He thought of a plan to deal with Philip. “But you need to take care of the kid under Philip’s command. He’s so strong that I think he has awakened his latent ability. I don’t think I’m a match for him.” After careful observation, Tangy determined that the kid had awakened his latent ability. Nolly nodded in agreement. It would be embarrassing if they failed to seek revenge. More importantly, they made such a big fuss yesterday and even vowed to deal with Philip. This situation was embarrassing enough already. “Let’s do this…” They discussed privately and quickly decided o
“That kid is amazing. He must be the descendant of a powerful being!” “You’re right. There’s no way a normal kid can reach that level. I can’t believe that Philip is capable enough to get someone so powerful to work for him!” The deep-sea merfolk were deep in a discussion. They thought Philip was simply lucky, not powerful. “If it weren't for his good luck, he probably wouldn't even make it through the preliminary round!” Before long, the deep-sea merfolk focused on their own battle because they found Tangy retreating repeatedly. Everyone knew how strong Tangy was. As the strongest fighter among them, he could at least fight Ronan to a draw. He could easily crush the losers from other families in a matter of minutes. Despite that, Tangy was unable to handle Ronan, which was simply unbelievable. “What's going on? Is Tangy going to lose?” Nolly was flustered. If Tangy lost, their plan to deal with Philip would be ruined. They planned to get rid of Philip during the fight.
Members of the Wagner family nodded vigorously, and even those who were not participating in the competition were excited. Everyone knew that they had to win, whether for the family or their personal honor. The young man taking part in the competition laughed smugly. As a grown man, how could he lose to a child? It would be too embarrassing if he lost! Defeat never crossed his mind, so he immediately sprang into action when the alarm rang. He launched a fierce attack without further ado, trying to end the fight quickly and show the child his powerful strength. However, when he charged at his opponent at full speed, the child was gone! The kid was nowhere to be found as if he had vanished into thin air. “You’re too slow.” A delicate voice sounded from behind him, and the child appeared in front of him. The guy was sent flying out of the battlefield with a kick before he realized what was going on. According to the rules, the fight would be over once one party died or was sent
Ronan quickly picked his opponent. He was surprised and wondered if Lady Luck was smiling at him or if the draw was rigged, but he actually picked the deep-sea merfolk right away. Although he wanted to teach them a lesson, he had to carry on with the act too. “Haha, this took no effort at all. Our opponent is Ronan!"Although Ronan is strong, we’re fully prepared this time. No matter how powerful he is, he’ll never escape our clutches!” The deep-sea merfolk sounded very confident, smiling brazenly as if certain of their victory. They had sent their strongest fighter this time. They had planned to reserve this person to deal with Philip, but they faced Ronan instead. Their contestants were not fixed in advance. Under unforeseen circumstances, they could choose a substitute. Therefore, they decided to assign this strongest fighter to face Ronan and Philip. This person’s name was Tangy. Tangy knew that he had to face two opponents, but he was not nervous at all. He hoped that h
“That’s enough. You may leave.” Ronan turned around and returned to Philip's side, unwilling to exchange more fake pleasantries with Cameron any longer. In his opinion, such empty talk was meaningless, and he did not want to say another word to that person. Philip smiled at Ronan’s indifference. “If you want to deal with the deep-sea merfolk, you need to make sure you don’t lose. Acting must be done wholeheartedly. Don’t let anyone realize that you’re acting,” Philip said to Ronan earnestly. Rabbit nodded vigorously. No one was better than him in acting. Ronan suddenly felt a little pressure. “Oh no, the pesky flies are here again.” Ronan frowned unhappily as the patriarchs of the families approached them. “I’m sure they're here for our wine!” Ronan did not want to sell the wine to them. Not to mention how much the wine had improved his strength, Ronan was a drinker himself. He would be left with nothing if they bought all his wine. “Ronan, we’re here again!” “You s
“Ronan, I know you’re unhappy with me, but the family is depending on you!” Cameron had to bite the bullet because he could not think of anyone but Ronan who could win the first prize. “Since I promised you, I’ll take part in the competition,” Ronan said calmly. However, Cameron could not help but feel something strange in his words. Ronan had come up with a plan after a discussion with Philip last night. Ronan was not in favor of helping Cameron because their relationship was so bad that it was not necessary for them to work together anymore. However, Philip had a different opinion. He was certain that the Claude family would put all hopes on Ronan, so he wanted Ronan to set them up. Ronan was not concerned about his reputation because he was not a hypocritical and superficial person. Hence, losing the competition meant nothing to Ronan. In that case, Philip did not want to miss this opportunity. Ronan would take part in the competition as agreed and try his best but witho
