This newly emerged force caught Arlo's attention. The white tiger royal family territory was quite stable now, and it was not easy for any force to enter this place. Small forces were not that much of a problem, but anything that could be presented to Arlo must not be that simple. After all, Arlo's identity was not just the patriarch of the Hood family! “I think I need to discuss this with the higher authorities,” Arlo muttered under his breath. Meanwhile, two leisurely figures appeared outside the gates of the Hood family's residence. The Hood family's guards immediately stood at attention and asked, “Who’s there?” As soon as they said that, two powerful surges of energy blasted at them. Among the two guards, the stronger one was merely six stars, while Philip and Licht were both nine stars, so they killed the guards easily. “Is it really okay for us to act so arrogantly?” Licht rubbed his nose and glanced at Philip. Philip shrugged and said, “Why not? We’ve done
After seeing the scene, those people realized that someone was messing with the Hood family. They looked at Philip and Licht while smiling in disdain. “Two people at nine stars dare to mess with the Hood family. Do they really think the Hood family is a pushover?” “I think so too. Although the Hood family is declining with only one pseudo holy tier left, he’s not someone even a freak at the peak of nine stars dares to mess with.” “You got that right. The pseudo holy tier is completely different from ordinary nine-star practitioners. One has mastered the path order, while the other the laws. A path order can crush the laws at any time.” “Ignorance is bliss.” Various comments could be heard, but no one was optimistic about Philip and Licht. They were full of mockery instead. Philip shrugged at those comments and turned to Licht. Licht said calmly, “Philip, I can’t handle the pseudo holy tier, so I'll leave him to you. Let me take care of the rest!” With that said, Licht
Arlo fell from the sky and attacked Philip fiercely. A golden light fell like a shooting star with Arlo. The sharp vibe of metal split the sky. Cracks appeared in the surroundings and sent energy surging. Even Licht was affected as he attacked other members of the Hood family. Philip raised his eyebrows at this sight. It was his first time fighting a pseudo holy being. As the onlookers mentioned, the pseudo holy tier was completely different from nine stars. Anyone who comprehended a path order could be called a pseudo holy being. The laws could never be a match against a pseudo holy being. Some wise people among the pseudo holy tier could transform the path order into an energy field, which they would wield absolute control over. Everyone who entered their energy field would be weakened, which was one of the reasons why a nine-star practitioner found it difficult to fight against the pseudo holy tier. Philip closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power of the pat
The smiles on everyone’s faces grew bigger. Even Arlo seemed upset. He probably thought that a loser like Philip was not worthy for him to use a special art. Although it was just a small special art, Arlo still felt indignant about it. Meanwhile, Philip sighed and looked at Arlo. “I already told you that you only have one chance to attack me. Why didn't you cherish it?” Philip's eyes were full of regret. The stronger the special art, the stronger the elements and power contained in it. Although Philip could comprehend something from a small special art, it was not much. However, Philip was a man of his word. Since the other party had made his move, Philip would not give him another chance. The next moment, a purple imprint slowly appeared on Philip's forehead. It was a roaring chimera. After the imprint appeared, the lightning elements in the sky quickly gathered and formed a huge energy field around Philip. Lightning flashed in the energy field, but wisps of mist
The wall formed by Arlo's laws was violently blasted away by Philip, and the power of laws came to a halt. Philip punched Arlo and sent him flying away. He fell to the ground in the distance. He spat another mouthful of blood, and his aura immediately weakened. He felt extremely tired, but he still looked at Philip angrily. Everyone was dumbfounded at the scene and thought it was simply surreal. A young man who they thought would be killed easily destroyed Arlo's defense and even attacked him twice, leaving Arlo powerless to fight back! “A-are my eyes playing tricks on me?” someone gulped and muttered. “Even an average practitioner at level three of the pseudo holy tier can hardly deal with this!” “Is this his trump card?” “I think the Hood family will be wiped out today.” Arlo ignored those comments and stared at Philip in front of him. He coughed and spat another mouthful of blood again. Meanwhile, no one paid attention to Licht’s side, but there was a strong ener
“You don’t need to know how I found out. If you have a trump card, you can use it now. If you don’t, I’ll send you on your way.” Before Arlo could speak, a weather-beaten voice rang out from a distance. It was a voice that told many stories. “Little one, have mercy.” Philip looked in the direction of the voice, his gaze sharp and his brows slightly furrowed. He saw a dark alley. A tapping sound and light footsteps came from that direction. Everyone followed suit and saw an old man with a cane slowly walking out of the alley. The old man had a white beard, white hair, and age spots all over his face. He was very thin, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him away. After the old man walked out of the alley, he looked up at Philip in the sky and smiled kindly. “Little one, I wonder if you can spare Arlo’s life on my account?” Philip smiled and said, “Sir, may I know why you want to speak up for Arlo? Strictly speaking, he’s my enemy. It doesn’t seem right to let the t
This statement was like a bombshell that exploded in everyone’s ears. Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at Philip. Philip wanted Barry and the Hood family to submit to him? Was this a joke? They held Philip’s strength in high regard now, but they felt something must be wrong with Philip’s IQ or he would never say such a thing. After that, everyone looked at Philip expectantly, but Philip was unmoved and looked at Barry quietly. Barry's expression was calm as if he did not hear Philip’s earlier remark. For a moment, the scene fell into pin-drop silence. Barry looked at Philip quietly, a smile still on his face. Philip returned his smile. After a while, Barry broke the silence first. “Young man, are you sure you're not joking?” “No, I want your entire Hood family, including you, to submit to me, and hand over all your resources and assets to me.” Philip was still smiling. “If you can do that, I’ll let Arlo go. If not, we don’t have to discuss it any further.”
Seeing this, Barry sighed and said, “Young people can't be underestimated. If Arlo had half your perseverance and backbone, things wouldn’t have turned out this way now. What a pity.” Philip said, “I just resisted some pressure. If you add another level, maybe I can't handle it anymore. Why don't you give it a try?” Barry smiled peacefully. “I’m tempted to, but I’m sorry to say that I'm not at level eight of the pseudo holy tier as you expected.” With that said, Barry’s energy suddenly exploded, and a more powerful pressure appeared. Philip's legs could not take it anymore, and he bent down. The pressure of a practitioner at level nine of the pseudo holy tier had almost reached the holy tier! The family of a holy being had a solid foundation, after all! Philip's eyes were about to burst, and all his energy surged. He propped his body up forcefully and looked at Barry with a grimace. He said, “This pressure isn’t enough to make me collapse yet.” Everyone’s pupils const
