Not only were Xayden and his guardian warriors terrified, but so were the soldiers at the front. Their paces slowed down; some even came to a stop.Isaac was standing on the chair. He was like a god of war to them; the sword he held, surrounded in waves of red spiritual energy, was like the Reaper’s scythe.“Why did y’all stop moving?” With a flick of his wrist, Isaac held the sword before him. He looked mockingly at the soldiers and Xayden.Cedric and Lewis exchanged a glance and immediately requested in an angry tone, “My Lord, please allow us to fight that brat.”At that moment, someone shouted from behind, “Xayden Neal, stop what you’re doing.” Evie, wearing a white dress and a veil on her face, appeared at the entrance. Ten men in cloaks followed her while two women in mini dresses held umbrellas for her.Xayden menacingly smiled when he heard this voice.“Can’t hold it in any longer, can you?” Xayden turned and waved, shouting, “Make way for Ms. Lopez.”The soldiers moved
The rain stopped. A silhouette bolted through the trees. Cedric and Lewis released daunting waves of spiritual energies as they charged toward Isaac.Cyrus landed in the front yard and, without a pause, used the soldiers as leverage to reach Isaac, swinging punches at him.Isaac’s eyes grew redder. Eventually, his eyes were as red as though blood had flowed through them.“No!” Evie sobbed as she screamed at Isaac.She meant for Isaac to keep his identity hidden. There was no knowing what her father would do if he found out the lord of the Temple of Drakon was in Cloud City. She couldn’t even start to imagine.Isaac was enraged. The energy in his power core flowed into every part of his body. But when Evie shouted, he toned down and reabsorbed a quarter of his energy in a split second.“Seven Divine Slashes!” roared the shorter Cedric. Dark blue spiritual energy enveloped the long saber in his hands. Within five yards of Isaac, he slashed seven times continuously.Seven blue shad
“Isaac, don’t be reckless; he’s provoking you. Don’t worry. I’d rather die than allow them to have their way!” Evie glanced at Isaac. Her voice was shaking but determined.Evie wasn't sure if Isaac would be able to withstand Cyrus and the other two warriors' combined attacks, but she was certain that she’d never turn away from Isaac when he was in danger.Alexis’ heart raced, and she felt warmth. She stared blankly at Evie’s silhouette.She never thought Evie would feel this way toward Isaac.At that moment, Isaac touched Evie’s shoulder and leaned closer. His voice was deep as he said, “Silly girl. I’m a man; that won’t be me if I ever need you to protect me. I should be the one protecting you.”Evie was stunned. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her by her waist. He tugged and turned her around to face him.The next moment, Isaac tilted his head and kissed her.Evie’s mind was blank. This lunatic! Wh—what was he doing?Her arms froze in the air as though she had been turned i
The four of them walked up from four directions, each of their bodies exuding a powerful force. Cyrus and his men didn’t even dare let out a breath.It felt like four large mountains had fallen from the sky and onto their heads. Over a thousand of the weaker Eastwell soldiers fell straight to their knees due to the oppressive spiritual energy pressing inward from four directions. Hundreds of them suddenly turned pale and coughed up blood from their internal injuries.On the other hand, Isaac was still kissing Evie, his hand caressing her face. Even though Isaac’s body pressed into her, Evie didn’t feel any of the pressure. Her focus was more on the power and heat of the man in front of her.Her initial shock had disappeared. She was now lost in the moment, unable to get out.With a gasp, Isaac finally let her go. Looking into Evie’s dazed eyes and seeing the blush on her face, he laughed lightly and said, “Eradicate the Eastwell Army. Leave no one alive!”Elliot, who was standing
"Ah!”Lewis wasn’t as fast at the web of spiritual energy swords behind him. His body was rooted to the spot as if a laser web had passed through him.The next second, there were strange swishing noises, and his body fell to the floor in chunks. He'd been sliced up by the web of swords.Cedric screamed in devastation, “Lewis! Damien, you bastard, you’ll get it from me!”Cyrus, who was fighting Elliot, also saw what had happened. He was both shocked and infuriated to see Damien kill Lewis so casually.Just then, a red shadow palm crashed over Cyrus' head with the force of a mountain. Distracted, he dodged it subconsciously, but Elliot suddenly materialized in front of him, wearing a wicked smile.He thrust his palm into Cyrus’ chest.With a loud crack, Cyrus’ ribs broke, and his face twisted with agony. He opened his mouth to spit up blood, his body flying backward.Cedric, who’d begun battling Damien in a rage, accidentally exposed a chink in his armor. Damien took the opportu
Xayden couldn't help but shiver when he saw how Isaac looked at him. His body began to tremble as if he’d been plunged into an icy lake.Isaac's declaration that he would kill Cyrus and Xayden instilled fear in everyone. Not just Evie's subordinates but also Evie and Alexis shuddered involuntarily.“Isaac!” Evie looked at the man beside her, her face flushed. She bit her lip and shook her head.She didn’t want Isaac to do that. If he did, he'd definitely incur the wrath of the entire Neal family.Although Cyrus was one of the members of the Council of Elders, the Neal family had stronger powers than met the eye.“I—Isaac, you're so arrogant. If you kill us tonight, I swear that the Astraeus and the Neal family will not rest until they see to your death!” Cyrus growled, his eyes turning bloodshot.Before Isaac could respond, Evie suddenly tugged on his arm.“Don’t!” She shook her head, looking at him dazedly.Isaac frowned. After giving it some thought, he raised his right hand,
A distance away, Alexis opened her mouth to cough up a mouthful of blood. Agony and shock were written on her face.Isaac raised a hand, and a beam of light shot past, dissipating the invisible but lethal breath of air in front of him.“Cyrus, you are also an elder. This is improper. Get up.” Glenn grabbed Cyrus and hauled him to his feet.“First Elder, please save us. This beast has already killed thousands of my Eastwell soldiers. If you hadn’t made it here in time, my grandson and I may have already… may have already been sent to the netherworlds!” Cyrus groused, gritting his teeth and choking back tears.Glenn looked at Isaac, then at the four generals before shifting his gaze back to Isaac’s face.“Isaac, although the Temple of Drakon is powerful, you are still based overseas. What is your intention behind coming to the nine states and killing ruthlessly? Are you declaring war against the Astraeus?” Glenn’s voice was so thunderous that the others couldn’t help but shiver.Ev
“The audacity!”Seeing Damien spring to action, Glenn’s face darkened. He raised his hand, casting a purple shadow fist that looked almost solid to counter Damien’s shadow fist.Almost simultaneously, Isaac swung the sword in his hand, and a shadow sword flew toward the purple shadow fist.When the other three generals saw Glenn attack, they darted toward Damien to help him.The red shadow sword collided with the purple shadow fist. The two powerful sources of spiritual energy touched, trembled for a couple of seconds, and then exploded before disappearing in the air.Glenn stared at Isaac in shock.He had channeled his shadow fist for quite a while, but Isaac’s shadow sword seemed to have been cast on a whim and had even easily broken his shadow fist.When Xayden saw Damien approaching him, he hid behind his grandfather, terrified.“Everyone, go!” Glenn yelled. The three other men donned dark red robes charged at the three generals behind Damien.Alexis watched the men change
