"Hah! Surrender? I'm afraid you're not nearly capable enough to do that," Circe spat coldly.The head elder's face flashed an ugly shade of red at the words. "Alright. I'll just have to see how powerful you are, then."As the words rang through the air, the head elder turned around. He drew his long sword and charged in Circe's direction.Whew!The blow the head elder cast used ten percent of his skills, tearing through the air and constricting the atmosphere.Circe's expression remained stony at the sight of the head elder. She summoned her internal energy, brandishing her long sword to meet him.Clang clang clang!The air rang with the clashing of weapons. Several rounds later, the head elder felt as if something was off.How had Circe grown so powerful within just a few years?The head elder had dueled against Circe five years ago, and she had barely lasted five rounds before losing.Since five years had passed, the head elder was astonished that he could not hold her down
Seeing as the head elder was getting closer and closer, Circe closed her eyes and gave up on resisting.Suddenly, a cold roar blared through the air. It was followed by a figure soaring through the air from afar."Stop right there!"In the blink of an eye, the figure landed in front of Circe. He had chiseled features, and his gaze flashed coldly as he radiated a strong aura.It was Antigonus.Circe had not told anyone about her plans to break into the Wudang Sect, and Antigonus had only gotten the news half an hour ago. He had not spared a moment of hesitation, heading over immediately to help.Antigonus had secretly been in contact with Prince Auten so as to not appear and help her take down the Wudang Sect. He was just here to take Circe away.After all, Circe had some status in the Lange household. There was some use in keeping her around.Everyone's gaze fell onto Antigonus as he appeared, unable to hide their wariness.The next second, the head elder's expression darkened
Antigonus then took the opportunity to rush toward Circe. He lifted her by the waist and soared off into the distance.None of the Wudang Sect members had reacted in time. Antigonus had disappeared out of sight with Circe by the time the elders had returned to their senses.'Motherf*cker!'All at once, the head elder seethed with rage as his expression darkened, and he cried out loudly, "Listen up, Wudang Sect members! Find them, no matter what it takes."The fight had taken up all day and taken the lives of so many of his men. How could he sit and watch them escape?"Yes, Elder!"At his orders, the Wudang Sect members called out in response. They soared into the distance at top speed, heading in the direction that Antigonus had left.…Just then, in mid-air, some distance away.Circe was unspeakably embarrassed at being held by the waist by Antigonus. She wanted to break free, but her body was too weak, and she would definitely fall if she were to escape from Antigonus' grasp
Circe viewed her purity with a lot of importance, and she truly did not want Antigonus to help her.However, the Heart Devil Flame grew brighter, and she would be dead if it was not gotten rid of in time."Alright!"Antigonus nodded and hurried over, but at the sight of the flames surrounding Circe, he was at a loss. "What should I do, Senior Sister?"He was the Archfiend, and he had never experienced a psychotic break. Thus, he did not know what to do.Circe was about to go crazy at the look of confusion on his face, but she bore through the pain to grit out, "Put… Put your hand on my inner core and channel your internal energy to dispel the chaotic forces in my body. I'll be fine after that."Circe's face was scarlet as she said the final words, and her voice was barely audible. "Got it!"Antigonus did not sense Circe's embarrassment as he nodded before sitting down cross-legged in front of Circe. He put his hands by her inner core, beginning the dispelling…All at once, th
"Yes, Sect Master!"The pupils were no fools as they spread out hurriedly at the order.Tuji descended at the cave entrance quickly before beaming at Circe. "I'm so glad to see you're alright, Circe. Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you'd gone off to the Wudang Sect all on your own?"Circe lowered her head, saying in a small voice, "I… I'm sorry I acted so rashly."Tuji did not reprimand her any further. He looked at the pair and could not help but ask, "What… What's going on here with the two of you?"Just then, Antigonus and Circe exchanged a glance. Antigonus smiled lightly and said, "You tell him, Senior Sister."Circe nodded, letting out a sigh before describing what had happened in full detail.Toward the end, Circe's face was positively beetroot as she continued on in a low voice. "Then, I went into a psychotic break after we entered this cave. My clothes burned off entirely, and it was Beka who saved me…"Circe was filled with embarrassment at the thought
Two days ago, the pair were chased by the black armored army riders, so they had no choice but to flee to the Wild Deserted Secret Region. It was full of venomous insects and wild beasts, some areas even rife with poisonous gas in the air.They had spent the past two days taking down every beast they saw, and they had not been able to eat much. It could be said that they were practically drained.A wave of remorse washed over Bowen as he stared at the dense forest around him. He apologized to Veron."Ninth Lady, I'm so sorry for dragging you into suffering with me."Veron let out a light chuckle and replied, "What are you going on about? We're both alive, aren't we? There's nothing to apologize for."Bowen scratched his head at her response, holding back a laugh. A thought came to him, and he took the Sunset Bow off his back. "How is this bow supposed to be used?"Bowen had tried channeling his internal energy into the Sunset Bow when they had run into wild beasts earlier, but it
Bowen tried to struggle but was held down by the Spirit Addict Leopard and could not move at all."Stupid panther."At the very last moment, Veron bit back on the pain she was feeling to draw her long sword and drive it into the Spirit Addict Leopard's back. The leopard cried out in anguish, letting go of Bowen and turning to face Veron.Crap…Bowen had managed to escape death but did not have a second to celebrate. Instead, panic filled his mind as he shouted to Veron, "Leave while you can. Leave now…"The Spirit Addict Leopard was far too powerful and cruel. It had severely wounded him and Ninth Lady, and neither of them was any match for it.Bowen had thought it through. He was going to catch the Spirit Addict Leopard's attention and give Ninth Lady a chance to escape.Upon making his mind up, Bowen shouted at the Spirit Addict Leopard, "Come on! Didn't you say you wanted to absorb my energy? Come on…""Roar!"Yet the Spirit Addict Leopard paid Bowen no mind at all. Instead
Yet the Spirit Addict Leopard did not pay Bowen any mind, continuing in its attack on Veron.All that could be seen was Veron being forced to retreat further and further back, and it was obvious that she was not going to be able to hold on for much longer.What was she going to do?Bowen was beside himself with nerves at the sight. To think that he, a great Raksasa warrior, would need the protection of his beloved lady. How was he even a man at all?At the thought, Bowen wanted to stand up. Yet he had been injured far too severely and had barely gotten up before he had fallen down again.All at once, Bowen spat a mouthful of blood that landed on the Sunset Bow in a fit of his nerves, dyeing it red.He was useless, wasn't he…Bowen gritted his teeth, cursing to himself over and over again. He could not help the woman of his dreams in the face of danger, and that was more agonizing than a man could take.Yet just then, Bowen could feel a force coming out of the Sunset Bow in his
