Not just the Drakon, but every general of the seven armies had experienced countless near-death experiences. The Apothecary was the man responsible for bringing them back from the grips of death.His medical prowess was undeniable, yet Beefy Bob called him a moron.On the way to drop off Isaac at his home in Riverview, Old Brooks said in a low voice, “Wilson captured a few of my men and took them to Aurum County earlier.”“What are you trying to say?” Isaac lit a cigarette.Old Brooks sighed. “Right now, the power gap between the Kenne family and me is too wide. It’s only because you’re here that they dare not reach brashly past Cloud City’s borders. I want to… establish a group of assassins.” He turned to glance at Isaac with an impatient gaze.Isaac understood the underlying meaning behind those words and gave a soft laugh. “I’ll find you an appropriate instructor.”Old Brooks stopped the car outside the door of the villa, then he turned around and left. Under the night sky, Is
When Allegra heard what Isaac said, she paused for a moment before rolling her eyes and saying, “Can you not joke around? That was so lame.”With that, she got up and went upstairs. A few moments later, she returned with a backpack and went out.She couldn’t do much about the company right now. All she could do was take it a step at a time.At the Aurum County Hospital, Albert, Jane, and a few other relatives were waiting anxiously outside the operation room. Dr. Foster and another hematologist had been inside for over six hours already.The red light above the door finally turned off. The door opened, and out came Dr. Foster, who looked dead tired.“Dr. Foster, thank you so much. My daughter…”“The patient is already out of the woods. She’ll be fine after a few days of observation,” Benedict said, taking off his mask.Albert was so grateful that he couldn’t stop bowing.From the side, Mr. Dawson and David hurried forward to butter him up. “As expected of Dr. Foster, the highly
“Allen, who is it?” Simon asked, furrowing his brows. He turned his head toward the door to take a look.“Ah!” When he saw who it was, his knees crumpled, and he fell to the floor.Beefy Bob strode to the doorway leisurely. Peering inside, he grinned and nodded. “Well, well, it seems like almost everyone is here at this dinner table.” Then, he turned to glance at the security guard behind him and kicked him into the dining hall. “Oh, you saw me, too.”He darted inside, closed the door with a slam, and the lights went out!Ten minutes later, Beefy Bob exited the villa with a cigarette in his mouth. Behind him, the villa was dark and deadly silent, looking as terrifying as a haunted house.In the living room of the Gould family’s home, Edward and Margaret were currently discussing whether or not to be thick-skinned and go to the Owens family home to offer their condolences.It was because what happened at the Martial Arts Showdown had something to do with Edward. Now that Charles w
The news about the slaying of the entire Merck family rocked Cloud City. After Allegra got home last night, she sat in the living room until late at night, but her uncle never showed up.Although she knew that it was a pipe dream, Isaac was the one who told her to, so she clung to a ray of hope. In the end, even this hope was extinguished.Even Isaac was a little shocked. Did the killing of the Merck family have no effect on Edward?When Allegra went inside and found Isaac smoking on the sofa, she walked over and said coldly, “Didn’t you say my uncle would come looking for me?”Isaac felt embarrassed. He had miscalculated!“Next time, don’t bluff if you can’t actually pull it off. You made me wait a whole night for nothing.” Allegra felt a little bitter.Isaac stood up. Frowning, he said, “Should I go kill Edward?”Allegra gasped, glancing around her. She lowered her voice and whispered urgently, “Are you crazy? Why are you always beating and killing people? It’s illegal, you kn
“After that good-for-nothing suffered such an overwhelming defeat, he even came back to exaggerate how Isaac had already attained the Renascence Phase. What a load of bullcrap!” Fury was written all over Elder Thomas’ face.The old butler was appalled. “Renascence Phase?”“What’s the Renascence Phase? Is it powerful?” Warwick turned to look at the old butler.Elder Thomas’s face twisted with mockery. “Child, there are eight major phases for a martial artist—Rudimentary, Channeling, Burgeoning, Transformation, Amalgamation, Renascence, Divinity, and Celestial. The Burgeoning Phase puts you at a master level. In the whole of Southland, I can count on one hand how many have attained the Amalgamation Phase. If there is someone who has reached the Renascence Phase, then the world is at his feet. Even if all the families and ancient powers in Southland banded together, they still wouldn’t be able to beat a martial artist in the Renascence Phase, much less the Owens family alone. We cannot
“Allegra, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” Margaret immediately stood up, looking nervous.Everyone had a look of shock on their face. They had never expected that the timid Allegra would do something so impulsive.“Allegra, don’t get emotional. Just put the knife down. Don’t scare Grandfather,” Andrew urged.Allegra’s tears streamed uncontrollably, and she sobbed, “I really trusted you, but you all played me the fool. I’ve already forgiven you all many times, so why do you keep on bullying me? Either give me the company or the money. Or else, I’ll die right here.” Her voice grew shriller, and she pressed the knife to her throat.Alec’s eyes filled with anxiety. He turned to look at Edward and said in a low voice, “Look at what you all have done—a whole family fighting to the point of wanting to die. Hurry up and give her an answer.”Edward’s eyebrows furrowed at his father’s urging. However, he quickly broke into a wicked smile. He stood up, pointed at Allegra, and said, “Do i
Isaac accepted Allegra’s suggestion without a fuss and started making himself comfortable.Old Alec was shaking with anger and instructed Edward to drive them off. But Edward was already weak at his knees and could not think of anything else.Edward and Margaret knew Isaac meant it when he threatened to take Edward’s life.Hence, Isaac, Allegra, and Beefy Bob stayed at the Gould family’s house the whole day.Margaret noticed Edward’s head was in a muddle. She gave it some thought and whispered an idea into his ear.When she finished speaking, Edward looked at her and asked, “Are you sure this will work?”Margaret retorted, “Would you rather lose the 60 million dollars instead?”Edward thought about it and said through gritted teeth, “Not on my life.”“See? Let’s stall them while you get Randall’s help to get through to Mr. Kenne. We must take action as soon as possible.” Margaret patted Edward’s shoulder in assurance.A short while later, Margaret appeared at Allegra’s room do
Beefy Bob got out of the car and walked up to the four men. They looked like practitioners of ancient martial arts. Beefy Bob called out, “Hey, why are you standing in the middle of the road? You’re standing in our way!”One of them replied solemnly, “We’re students from the Divine Fists School, here on our teacher’s orders to take down Isaac Garten. Those uninvolved should step aside!”Allegra was fearful. She asked, “They… they’re here for you. What should we do?”“Let’s take a stroll. Don’t concern yourself with these trivial matters.” Isaac chuckled nonchalantly.Allegra still looked worried as Isaac assisted her out of the car and went in the opposite direction.When the four men saw Isaac leaving, one of them called out immediately, “Garten! Get back here and receive your punishment.”In a split second, all four men made their moves. A thick wave of spiritual energy enveloped them as they went after Isaac.“Hah! You’re not going anywhere before defeating me.” Beefy Bob lau
"The extra 10 years of torment is your punishment for deceiving me, I don't like being lied to. Just hang in there for another 10 years." The Darklord clicked his tongue as mocked judgment, then turned to Isaac and delivered his remarks with a mix of reassurance and sarcasm.His words had an intent to "win over" but he kept reassuring about certain matters, obviously not wanting Isaac to develop too much of a rebellious mindset.He knew that what truly mattered to Isaac was Mixandrei, but there was no way for him to do anything to her in a short time.He needed to ensure that Isaac no longer had any reason to refuse to submit.......One year…Two years…Nine years…Ten years…Another decade passed.Including the previous decade, it was two decades.Isaac had stayed in that world for two decades.His physical body was still lying in a coffin yard, while his mind had been in this virtual world for two decades!The Darklord stood up and looked down at Isaac.Isaac was loo
"Great! Excellent!" The Darklord was overjoyed and sprang to his feet.Clearly, he valued Isaac in high regard and believed that he would benefit greatly from having such loyal and reliable help.Moreover, the secrets Isaac held were valuable.With all of that, becoming immortal wasn't difficult. Even after achieving immortality, he could dominate the Immortal Realm!"I will now merge with your spirit and plant my seed within you. Do not resist and accept it."The Darklord was eager to make Isaac completely his servant.Reaching out with a large hand, attempting to touch Isaac."Alright…" Isaac spoke wearily.He looked as if he didn't want to resist at all and just wanted to put an end to the pain as quickly as possible.At that moment, the Darklord hadn't relieved the suffering. The intention was to ensure that Isaac to not change his mind. The relentless and boundless agony served as a constant reminder.......The Darklord had already reached Isaac, and soon, Isaac would
"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
