With a loud thump, Michael fell to the ground heavily. Blood oozed out of his nose and mouth in an instant as the color drained from his face."Dad!" Abigail shouted, shocked. She quickly ran to her father."Ronald, are you crazy?" Dustin's gaze was murderous. He always thought that Ronald was an upright person. He held great respect in the martial world. It had never occurred to him that Ronald was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing."Crazy?" Ronald suddenly laughed. "Do you know how much effort I've put in just to get the Celestial Pearl? I first made use of Paul. "I spread the news of his death to lead the disciples of Jade Maiden Sisterhood to Balerno. After that, I let you guys have the Jade Maiden Scripture that had the map.""Everything went according to plan. In short, you're nothing more than my pawns. With you barging into the tomb one after another, Iris' attention could be diverted. And from that diversion, I could seize the chance to get the pearl." "My effort
The martial artists immediately headed over to the source. "It looks like it isn't over yet." After exchanging a glance, Theodore, Graham, and Orson also turned around. They led their respective groups back.They were shocked to see Ronald and Dustin engaging in a fierce fight when they arrived. Their attacks were intense, and neither seemed to be going easy on the other. What was going on?Weren't they on the same side?Why were they in a fight? The crowd was confused. "Help!" Right then, a pleading voice came through from a distance. When they looked over, they saw Abigail crying her eyes out. Laying in her arms was Michael. He was severely injured. Seeing that there was no response from them, Abigail kneeled on the ground. She frantically pleaded, "Please! Help me save my dad, please!" Michael was pale. Blood was still flowing from his abdomen, nose, and mouth. He looked like he was on the verge of death. However, the martial artists remained unfazed. Only
"Don't you dare! Whoever attacks them will die!" Azalea immediately rushed in front of Abigail. With two swords in her hands, she exuded a strong murderous intent. "Ronald is lying to you! My father wasn't led astray! He didn't do anything evil!" Abigail continued to explain upon seeing the martial artists closing in on them. "My dad has risked his life to save you. You wouldn't have survived if he hadn't absorbed all the black fog into his body. "Even if you aren't grateful for that, you shouldn't turn on the person who helped you. Wake up! Ronald is the biggest villain!" she cried, trying hard to prove their innocence. However, whatever she said didn't seem to affect the martial artists in any way."Don't you understand, Abigail? They only care about their own benefit. The truth doesn't matter to them at all! They're just a bunch of hypocrites! Quick, leave with Sir Robinson first! I'll cover for you!" Azalea said, charging forward with her two blades. She was far from bei
"Huh?"Theodore, Graham, and Orson instinctively took several steps back, their expressions changing drastically. At this moment, they could feel the looming presence of death. A shiver ran down their spines, and they broke into a cold sweat.If Michael executed this move of his, even if the three of them survived, they were doomed to be gravely injured. "Sir Robinson, you'd better not do anything reckless. Or, you'll also die!" Theodore warned. "Well, I'm already dying. I think it's a pretty good thing if I can bring the three of you together with me," Michael uttered. Hearing that, they frowned. They wouldn't want to risk their lives. "Sir Robinson, you still have to think about your daughter, right?" Theodore said. "I can let her go, but you must die today." "Yes! Only if you die can your daughter live!" Graham echoed."Can I trust you?" Michael asked. Theodore held his head up high. "No matter what, I'm still a prominent figure in the martial world. I won't go back
"Dad?" Seeing Michael had breathed his last, Abigail was stunned for a moment. She then burst into tears. "Dad, wake up! Dad!" she cried out mournfully. She held her father's lifeless body tightly as sadness washed over her. Two tracks of bloody tears coursed down her face and dripped onto the ground. She couldn't believe that her only family was gone. She was all on her own from now on. At this moment, she seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss. Her entire world had turned colorless. "He has finally died!" Looking at Michael's corpse, Theodore couldn't help but laugh. "This is great! Someone like him should be eliminated!" "So what if he was one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno? Didn't he still end up dead?" Graham sneered. Michael's death was undeniably a weight off his mind. On the other hand, Orson only let out a long sigh. "Now, finish off these two women!" Theodore suddenly pointed at Abigail.Hearing that, everyone was stunned. Didn't Theodor
All the plants and trees within a 20-foot radius were frozen. A phoenix pattern suddenly appeared behind Abigail. It was the seal within her body. Under extreme sadness and hatred, her true ability gradually awakened, breaking the seal. Streaks of golden rays pierced through her body. It transformed into a huge golden phoenix in the air. Radiant with colorful feathers, the phoenix unfurled its wings. Its eyes were filled with disdain.As expected of the king of birds, its power was evidently mighty. "Die! Go and die! I want to kill each and every single one of you!" Abigail roared. Her eyes were red and hostile. At this moment, her hair was starting to turn white. In a flash, she was completely white-haired. Then, a deadly energy surged forth from within her body. Under the influence of the negative energy, the golden phoenix began to transform. It turned into a sinister black phoenix. Its gaze was laced with murderous intent, intense loathing, and overwhelming resentmen
"Die! I want all of you to die!" Abigail screamed in rage and grief, her eyes red. Her white hair danced in the air. She resembled someone who had gone astray. All of a sudden, her body trembled. She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground. Her earlier attack had drained all of her energy. She was now at the mercy of others. Abigail could barely hang on. "Abigail!" Azalea, who was disheveled, immediately got up and ran over to Abigail. After making sure that Abigail was still alive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, she was the daughter of the Grand Sorceress, after all. Now that her seal was broken, her true abilities had been completely awakened. As long as Abigail could pull this through, she would undergo a powerful revival!"That power was way too terrifying!""Demon! She's a demon!" Looking at the wreckage around them, everyone was in shock and fear. They never thought someone as delicate as Abigail could unleash such terrifyin
Theodore glared at him. "We are doing this for the greater good. If you insist on protecting her, you'll end up going against the entire martial world!" "That's right! Hand her over now, or you'll be our enemy!" Graham shouted. "Cease your harmful actions, and you may achieve instant enlightenment," Orson said. He looked compassionate again. "For the greater good? Your enemy?" Dustin snorted. He continued, "If the martial world is full of selfish, immoral people like you, I don't mind being your enemy. Didn't you say that I'm a demon? I'll just be one, then!"Whoever hurts my disciple will die! Go ahead. Try me! Let's see if I can kill you with my evil powers! Bring it on!" Dustin suddenly took a step forward. He gave off a strong wave of lethal hostility. For a moment, even Theodore, Graham, and Orson were stunned. They wondered if Dustin had gone insane. How could he go against the entire martial world? "Don't panic, everyone!" Right then, Ronald stepped forward.He s
