At the thought, Bowen wanted to end his own life, but his arms and feet were bound to the iron pole, and he could not move at all.Was he going to be tortured to death by Tyson like that?All at once, Bowen was nothing but hopeless. Suddenly, the image of Veron came into his mind, and he still smiled.It was terrible that he was in that state, but at least Ninth Lady was fine.What a pity it was that he would never see her again in his life.Creak…Just as Bowen was lost in his own thoughts, a series of light footsteps came from outside. The door of the dungeon cracked open, and a charming figure slipped through it.Bowen lit up upon seeing who it was. He thought that he was hallucinating things.It was Veron.Veron had woken up during the day, and she had spent the day infiltrating the grounds snooping around for news. In the end, she had heard that Bowen had been thrown into the palace dungeon, so she rushed over once night fell.Bowen stopped short, croaking out the words.
Whew!Veron trembled at the words, taking in a deep breath as her expression grew heavy.That was right… It was indeed suspicious that there were only a few people guarding the palace dungeon."Let's not think about that right now."Veron returned to her senses quickly enough. "I'm going to get you out of here, whether or not they've planned an ambush." As the final word rang through the air, Veron tugged at Bowen's hand as she ducked into a smaller path to the side with him.It had to be said that the palace was absolutely gigantic. It was going to be pretty hard getting out of there.Upon running for a few minutes, Veron stopped in her footsteps all of a sudden just as they were about to reach the palace gate facing the west.Veron could clearly sense a strong wave of internal energy wafting through the air. The gate before them was unguarded but radiated an air of animosity.At the same time, Bowen's heart began to race as well.Crap!Upon taking a look at their surroundin
"Ho ho…" Tyson stood looking Veron up and down, calling out to Bowen mockingly. "You've got some luck to have such a pretty woman looking out for you. It's a shame she's going to die soon."As he spoke, Tyson stroked the Sunset Bow before saying, "Tell me how to activate the bow if you don't want your darling girl dying here. This is your last chance."The blow he had cast was not fatal, as he was planning to use Veron to blackmail Bowen.F*ck!Bowen clenched his fists, hardly able to believe his anger. Was Tyson even human, using Ninth Lady to threaten him…Yet amidst his rage, Bowen began to hesitate at the frail look on Veron's face. He might as well tell Tyson, right? Ninth Lady had saved his life twice, and he could not watch her die here…At the thought, Bowen took a deep breath as he looked at Tyson. "Will you keep your promise?""Of course!" Tyson smiled.Whew!Bowen took a deep breath. He was about to speak when Veron cut him off."No, don't."Veron bit her lip
No. Ninth Lady could not just die like this.Bowen exploded with unexplainable energy out of nowhere as he cried out. He charged out of the throng of black armored army riders surrounding him, throwing himself onto Veron.Thump!Tyson's blow landed heavily on Bowen's back. He let out a dull hum, blood spraying from his mouth as he collapsed onto Veron."Big guy!"Veron trembled at the sight, tears pouring from her eyes."You're going to live, Ninth Lady… you have to…" Bowen used the last of his strength to say the words to Veron slowly. "I'm going to lure Tyson to come after me, and you're going to get out of here. Promise me you will."Bowen had thought it through. He was going to pretend to give in and lure Tyson to his side to give Veron a chance to escape."No!"Veron shook her head vehemently, tears pouring from her eyes. "I'm not leaving… There's no point in living if I'm going to spend the rest of my days alone! Why did you take that blow for me? Why…"Veron sobbed as
"Skysword Ultimate!"Veron lifted her arms as the words left her lips, her long sword pointing toward the heavens.In the blink of an eye, the sky grew cloudy as a fierce wind began to rip through the palace.Following that, sword shadows began to appear one by one in the middle of the breeze. These shadows were all formed by the changes in the atmosphere.The shadows continued to multiply, soaring towards Veron to surround her.The Skysword Ultimate was a move that had been in one of the Langes' most prized ancient scrolls. Because it was far too complex and difficult, no one in the Lange family had ever mastered it.Veron, being the playful and bratty kid that she had been, had snuck into the household library on more than one occasion. She had looked through the book holding the Skysword Ultimate countless times until she could recite the Skysword Ultimate chant backward but had never been able to cultivate it successfully.Just now, Veron felt as if she could barely breathe,
Seeing as Tyson and the rest were not paying attention, Veron took the opportunity to pick Bowen up and rush out of the palace gates. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared out of sight.To tell the truth, Veron wanted nothing more than to rush forward and land another fatal blow on Tyson that would kill him for good.Yet the Skysword Ultimate had taken up all her internal energy, and there were so many men by Tyson's side. Rushing up would mean death, for sure.Veron had thought it through. Surviving was the only way she would be able to avenge Bowen and his family.On top of that, Veron did not truly believe that Bowen had just died like that for good. "Where are they?"Tyson eventually recovered from his glee to look over, and his expression shifted at once. F*ck… this girl from the Nine Continents had managed to escape with Bowen's body.Amidst his rage, Tyson roared, "Go after them!""Yes, Head General!"At the order, the black armored army riders called out in re
"Darryl!"Right at this moment, Loona came to her senses. She looked at Darryl with a complicated gaze. "The sound you made just now. Was that animal communication?"While asking that, Loona's exquisite face could not hide her curiosity. "Of course!" Darryl chuckled. He nodded and replied, "Why would I fake it?""Then…" Loona bit her lips gently, looking embarrassed. She said in a low voice, "Then, can you teach me?" Her voice was soft, but her gaze was filled with hope.All this while, Loona had been losing out to Darryl. She loathed him to death inside, but truth be told, animal communication was extremely magical.Although Loona was a lady, she loved adventures. Before being called the Lady General, she had already thought of exploring Wild Deserted Secret Region, but for many reasons, it had been shelved.More importantly, there were many wild beasts and venomous insects in those places, so Loona was a little worried. If she were to learn animal communication, she would not
Haha…Hearing that, Darryl could not help but chuckle.'Loona sure is interesting. She would actually be afraid that I would hide some of the knowledge.'At the thought, Darryl said with a smile, "Don't worry. Since I promised to teach you, I will teach you all."Shuffle, shuffle! While saying that, they heard scurrying footsteps from the path down the hill. Then, a dozen or more huge burly men appear in front of them.The men had long sabers with them, emitting the aura of a cultivator. They looked fierce and were clearly not good people.Something worth paying attention to was that their clothes were embroidered with a skull logo.Was this a bandit of the nearby Wild Deserted Secret Region?Looking at this scene, Natalie's expression instantly sunk.All these years, the precious treasures and enchanted beasts of the Wild Deserted Secret Region have attracted many cultivators to explore. It even drove the creation of special expeditions and mercenary regiments, but it also
