Leroy hesitated for a second. Then, he suddenly hollered at the guard who was taking Evie over to Heath. "Wait, bring her back! Bring her back!"The guard was confused. He was stunned for a while as he processed Leroy's words.Heath then heard Isaac roaring in his ear, along with the sound of gushing winds. "Quick, grab Evie and head north!"Heath then activated his spiritual energy and dashed toward the guard. The 30-foot distance was nothing for him. The guards suddenly felt a sharp pain in their stomachs and flew backward.Evie felt herself being lifted into the air. She hadn't even caught sight of who it was, but she could feel the waves of strong spiritual energy coming at the two of them from their surroundings.The sky was dark. About a thousand Dusk Soldiers were mid-descent, parachuting to the ground at the highest speed possible. Isaac descended the fastest among them.He had to surround his head with spiritual energy so that he could still somewhat make out what Heat
There were only about 150 feet left before they touched down. Isaac kept his hands on his parachute, swiftly guiding it down. His eyes were blood-red."Land on the rooftops. Jump!" Isaac yelled into his earpiece. He then activated the spiritual energy in his hands and cut off the parachute cord.His body started falling quickly to the ground. He could barely control the direction of his fall. But he still steered toward the rooftop as much as he could.The descending Dusk Soldiers and generals also cut off their parachute cords. One by one, they landed on the rooftop or in surrounding trees.Whoosh!The moment Isaac landed, the parachute above him was immediately blown into pieces by Leroy.There were loud cries of pain in the sky above them. Isaac felt his heart throbbing in pain as he heard the loud cries for help. He knew those were the sounds of his Dusk Soldiers getting hit by Leroy's blast.Even if they survived the blast with just injuries, they would still fall to the gr
The three deadly blades were about to land on Leroy's head. However, he laughed when he saw them. Leroy shot out his right hand and blasted three black spiritual wolves at the blades.At the same time, Isaac let out another roar and used Phantom Steps to dash toward Heath and Evie.By the time Leroy turned around, Isaac had made it at least 60 feet. The other seven generals were also rushing in Isaac's direction.Were they still trying to save Evie?"Kill them both!" Leroy yelled, ordering his men to kill Evie and Heath.Then, the fighters surrounding Evie and Heath activated their spiritual energy at once. Dozens of spiritual energy waves rushed toward Heath and Evie, trapping them completely.Heath was already badly injured. When he saw what the Ashleighs were doing, he felt his heart leap into his throat. They were doomed. He was sure of it."Isaac, knowing you is the greatest honor of my life! I've never regretted it!" Evie cried, hurrying toward Isaac, who was rushing towar
Caesar and the other clan heads were also furious when they saw what was happening.Channing and Caesar never thought Isaac could ambush the Ashleighs. After all, Leroy had set up many traps with so many powerful fighters everywhere. For a moment, they wondered if Evie and the fake Isaac were dead.Leroy suddenly appeared at the door with his clan heads. They fought their way in with renewed strength.The Dusk Soldiers in the back were no match for their power. They started falling down by the dozens. In a split second, at least a hundred Dusk Soldiers and lieutenants had been slaughtered by the Ashleigh clan's heads.Isaac's eyes were red and burning with fury by now. He gasped loudly and raised his right arm. "Attack! Kill them all!""Attack!""Attack!""Drakon Formation! Attack!"Isaac's voice got louder with each yell. His final roar echoed throughout Little Ash. But nobody noticed that Isaac's mouth was basically foaming with blood with his last shout.When they heard the
Channing was sitting next to Caesar. He'd wanted to get up and mock Isaac, perhaps advising him to surrender and call it a night. After all, if the battle continued, more people would get injured unnecessarily. Isaac would still be on the losing end either way.But when the five figures showed up, Channing's lips twitched uneasily. He stood up in shock when he saw the five shadows running toward Isaac under the moonlight.Caesar also raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the two other clans seated toward Isaac's right. Altair and Mizar both looked serious.As clan heads, they were a lot more sensitive to spiritual energies than regular people. They knew the newcomers were Celestial Phase fighters from the explosion alone.A Celestial Phase fighter was considered powerful, even among the True Martial Families and Everest Sect. Hence, the sudden, simultaneous appearance of five Celestial Phase fighters stunned everyone.Leroy and his clan elders stared at the figures in shock. They were
No more words were exchanged after that. Yet, they were fighting in tune with one another without having to say a thing.Dragon One, Dragon Two, and Dragon Three took on a few of the elders. Meanwhile, Elliot and the other generals started fighting the heads and remaining elders.The chaotic battle was at its peak. Even Caesar and the other spectators stood up to watch the action. It had been a long time since they'd seen such an exciting fight.Altair's and Mizar's expressions gradually changed. They exchanged glances as they observed every minute detail of the fight.Leroy had been fighting Todd off for a while. Seeing that Isaac still hadn't attacked him, Leroy cried out, "Tarot Slash!" This was one of his ultimate moves.Within the next second, dozens of dark sword shadows appeared from everywhere. They flew toward Todd.The flying swords let out loud whistling sounds. The overwhelming pressure made Todd's forehead sweat profusely. Todd roared, and a huge gust of spiritual en
Todd's spiritual energy was all focused on Leroy, making the latter unable to move. The red blades were still hitting Leroy. His body hadn't stopped shaking. Todd's spiritual energy had also locked him in place. Leroy couldn't move at all.Smack!Todd landed a big slap on Leroy's cheek. Then, he curled his left hand into a fist and punched him in the jaw.There was a sickening crack. Without the use of any spiritual energy, Todd cracked Leroy's lower jaw in pieces.Leroy let out a loud cry and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he was sent flying to the back once more.Todd didn't even wait for Leroy to land on the ground before chasing after him and punching him in the air. Then, he leaped into the air above Leroy.Leroy's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets when he saw Todd's bulky body above him. Realizing that he could move, he hurriedly gathered all of his spiritual energy to fight back.But he was a split second too late.Todd's hands were clenched into fists. With
Everyone was pumped out when they heard this chant. Leroy Ashleigh was defeated! They were so close to victory!"Kill them all!"Loud war cries from the Temple of Drakon reverberated throughout the night. Everyone got into formation and pounced on the Ashleighs.When the fighters from the Ashleigh clan heard the chants, they started to panic. Also, with Isaac's team gaining more confidence, the Ashleighs were losing their momentum.Isaac saw this and smiled in satisfaction, even if his spiritual energy was almost drained.Meanwhile, Leroy couldn't even get up. Todd had stomped on him, pinning Leroy to the ground with his foot.Isaac's face was as white as a sheet. He panted as he staggered over to Leroy. Then, he raised his right hand, which was holding a dagger."Isaac, you'd better stop right now!" Caesar was the first to notice Isaac approaching Leroy with the dagger in his hand.He then stood up and roared at Isaac until the entire village trembled.Channing's eyes were al
"Ah!" Isaac let out a low, raspy scream.It hurt so much.The suffering of spiritual anguish was just as intense as physical pain, if not more so.In an hour, the Darklord lowered the intensity of the torment to a level where Isaac was in constant pain, but not killing him."You talk too much, woman. When the barrier is lifted, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of being so talkative!" the Darklord looked at Mixandrei and spoke in a sinister tone.Then, he let out a cold laugh."No rush, I've got plenty of time to wait this out with you. It's only been a few months, and I can wait alongside you for decades or even hundreds of years. Take your time and enjoy."……After finishing the statement, he stopped talking again and just sat there, using a few methods to torment.One month…Two months…One year…Two years…......In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.Isaac's spirit was tormented by Darklord for an entire decade.Over the past ten years, Isaac ha
At that moment, his words pierced Isaac's ears like a sharp knife; it was also like a blow to Isaac.It was indeed, a spiritual blow."One day, I will tear you apart and make you regret ever being born." Isaac clenched his teeth, his face flushed, and he issued a threat."Hmm?" The Darklord furrowed his brow, clearly not expecting Isaac to have the audacity to say something like that."You're gutsy, but it's also kind of ridiculous. Do you even realize the situation you're in right now? Do you really think you can pull it off?" the Darklord responded with mocking sarcasm.Over the past two months, Mixandrei stayed within a protective shield, shedding countless tears and yelling until her voice was hoarse, but it was all in vain.She could only watch helplessly as her beloved was continuously tormented, unable to do anything under the barrier.That had just as much of an impact on her."Isaac, I don't understand what you're still holding onto. You're exhausted. Why not let go an
At that moment, he had no idea how naive his words were.The Darklord quickly transported him to a dark space to torment his soul. He was coerced to submit and become a slave, and reveal all his secrets.For the first time in his life, Isaac was experiencing such torment.It was pure torment from the Darklord!It was like being better off dead than alive."Kneel, submit to me, acknowledge me as your master, and become my servant. Otherwise, I'll keep tormenting you like this forever."The Darklord tormented Isaac's spirit while giving him orders.The Darklord appeared quite unhurried.Isaac was even threatened, with the implication that if he didn't agree, there would be some very inappropriate actions taken against Mixandrei right in front of him.Faced with that situation, Isaac couldn't hold back his anger and felt the urge to fight back.But he was too weak.The soul artifact buffed his spirit, but it only allowed him to contend with the Sacrificial Phase in its early st
"Who's there?" Isaac suddenly shouted in alarm.Someone nearby launched a surprise attack.Mixandrei was slightly slow to react but she chose to trust Isaac and prepare for battle together with him.Thud!A sharp flash of a blade cut through the void.They immediately retaliated with all their strength."King of Pyrois?" Isaac squinted, trying to identify.That person was covered head to toe in a black cloth, concealing the true appearance.The battle resumed. Isaac was evenly matched but soon another enemy appeared behind him.It was the King of Pyrois."Haha, Zegna, thanks for inviting me to help out. If I let him get away, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life!" King of Pyrois laughed heartily."Zegna?" Isaac squinted his eyes."Could this man in black really be Zegna?"King of Pyrois and Zegna, one in front and one in back, were positioning themselves to launch an attack on Isaac and Mixandrei.At that point, the power of the soul artifact became evident once
In the recent fight, the King of Pyrois was on the weak side and it left him a bit annoyed.But it was okay.There were plenty of allies nearby."Everyone, attack!" As soon as he gave the order, two hundred guards charged continuously, wave after wave.Although they were mere mortals, the realm's blessing endowed them to pose a threat to Isaac and Mixandrei."Let's go!"Isaac wasn't willing to stay any longer. He grabbed Mixandrei and prepared to leave."You think you can get away? Not a chance!" King of Pyrois flew into the air, attempting to intercept.Isaac attempted to rip through spacetime but was thwarted because they could seal the void.That made his heart skip a beat because it would be difficult for them to leave by using the Principles of the Void."There's a gap, go that way!" Mixandrei launched an attack in another direction to enlarge the gap.Isaac followed right behind.However, the King of Pyrois was close behind, moving faster than the two of them."Get l
Just as Isaac was about to strike, a captain stopped the guard and ordered, "Don't make things difficult for them, let them in!"……"Yes." The guards behaved and followed orders.Then one of the guards whispered a threat to Isaac."Once we're in City 12, don't try any sneaky stealing. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch you!"……Isaac squinted and glanced at him as he remained silent.Isaac and Mixandrei entered the city.The streets and buildings inside the city looked just like those in the real realm.Isaac soon realized that the people living there all had a strong spiritual resilience.No wonder those guards were so arrogant. In the outside realm, anyone who dared to be that arrogant toward a high-level martial artist would be dead."The person who just allowed the two of you to enter the city without any trouble was actually the advisor. He recognized you both. The advisor would like to meet the two of you. Would two of you be willing to oblige?" At that moment, a thin
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
"Just standing here and watching isn't really helpful. Let's go over and talk to them," Isaac proposed.Mixandrei, although a bit concerned, did not refuse.They walked over.Upon seeing Isaac and Mixandrei, the villagers slightly paused and did not appear overly surprised.That left Isaac and Mixandrei surprised.Wouldn't ordinary villagers be wary when they suddenly see two strangers coming to their village?"Hello, everyone," Isaac greeted.Two fishermen continued chatting casually as they worked, laughing as if nothing unusual was happening."It looks like more outsiders from other realms have arrived. Our place has been bustling lately."......Upon hearing those words, Isaac and Mixandrei were both taken aback.There were many people from other realms?What did that mean?"Hello everyone. As you can see, this is our first time in this realm, and we're not very familiar with it. We would like to learn more from you," Isaac began speaking.He maintained a calm and com
Isaac introduced."I've never heard of such a realm before, and I'm eager to go in and see it!" Mixandrei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and exclaimed excitedly.After speaking, she reached out and touched the boundaries of that realm.But, she was pushed back as her spirit was unable to get close."Only a portion of our spirit can enter the soul artifact, and even after being enhanced by it, we're not strong enough to go inside. We might need to put all our spirits into the soul artifact, but if we do that, our bodies in the real realm would be motionless, like corpses." Isaac speculated."So what? We can lie in the sarcophagus, and with the protection of the sarcophagus and the secret chamber, our true form will definitely be safe. Then our spirit enters the artifact," Mixandrei proposed."Great idea, let's do it this way!" Isaac nodded in agreement.At that moment, he felt that the coffin yard was remarkable because its defensive power was off the charts.Dreamlerq's
