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
A domineering red shadow fist plunged deep into Cyrus’ body. In the next instant, Isaac decimated Cyrus’ power core with one punch.“Ah…” Cyrus cradled his stomach, letting out a gut-wrenching scream before falling to the floor.Glenn had been fighting with Damien at that moment. When he saw what had happened, he was both surprised and enraged.Even more shockingly, this elegant-looking man had already taken over thirty of his attacks but still hadn’t shown any hint of being unable to keep up.Glenn turned around and took a huge leap, roaring, “Stop right now!” Both parties quickly separated. Neither was injured; both were only breathing slightly heavily, especially Damien. One could see the sweat beaded on his forehead at a closer look.Only he knew how terrifying that First Elder was. He even suspected that Glenn was still hiding some of his abilities.The hundreds of Eastwell soldiers and the men that Glenn had brought were all staring at Cyrus, who was rolling on the floor,
“Isaac, you were too impulsive today. Do you know what kind of consequences your actions will bring?” Evie looked at Isaac with a bitter expression after they returned to the division building.Isaac shrugged and said nonchalantly, “Even if I'd let the Neals go, there would only be more trouble. Now that Xayden’s dead, at least he can’t keep thinking of ways to make you marry him.”Evie was taken aback by his words. Warmth bloomed in her chest. Had he done that so that she could avoid marrying Xayden?“I’ll be away for a while tomorrow. Isaac, you need to take care of yourself.” Evie’s cheeks were a little hot. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and went inside.A beautiful woman strode over. Stopping in front of Isaac, she said, “Mr. Garten, Ms. Lopez has prepared the guest room for you. Please follow me.”“No need. I’ll be going down the mountain tonight.” Isaac waved his hand, declining.Suddenly, he leaned close to the woman and whispered, “If anythin
Wearing a cold expression, Lucas crossed his arms and said, “Last month, enemy troops from the Kingdom of Ursus appeared at the desolate glaciers in the deepest part of Cyberia. There were only a handful of people. We managed to capture a few of them but couldn’t get any information out of them. All of them poisoned themselves.”“The Kingdom of Ursus has been watching the grassland south of the ice fields. Lucas, you cannot let your guard down. As for Heleron, Damien, you can take it easy for now. Just keep monitoring their movements.”Damien and Lucas nodded.“All right, then. A great burden is on your shoulders, so I won’t keep you here for much longer. You can all return to your respective posts tomorrow.” Isaac stood up, smiling at the others.“Drakon, we will be taking our leave now. Will you be alright? The First Elder seemed to be holding back his anger today. Those old bastards from the Astraeus haven’t even left the mountain!” Elliot said, frowning.Isaac waved his hand a
It was the most pain that Alexis had ever experienced in her life. Initially, she felt so hot, as if she was being roasted over a fire pit. Even her skin was prickling with scorching heat.Then, she felt so cold, as though she'd been plunged into an icy cave. She shivered violently from head to toe. Finally, her limbs felt like they were being pricked by thousands of needles. It hurt so badly that she almost passed out a few times.Nonetheless, she didn’t let out a single sound throughout the entire process. She knew that if she could get through it, she'd become much stronger, and one day, she'd finally be able to avenge the hundreds of students of the Holy Division.At that moment, a pair of hands touched her lightly in the middle of her back. She then heard Isaac’s deep voice, “Almost there. It’ll be over soon.”A large burst of spiritual energy suddenly surged through her body, flowing to her limbs and seeping into her blood vessels.She could even feel her blood vessels expan
“Mr. Garten, I’m going back to the mountain. If you need any help, call me anytime. I'm eternally grateful to you. Respectfully, Alexis.”As he looked at the dainty handwriting on the note, Isaac knew that Alexis couldn’t let the Holy Division go. Oh, well. Since she wanted to keep going through that, then let her be!At the same time, a hearse drove into Eastwell before speeding down the highway toward Seascape.Seascape was the economic center of Eastwell and also one of the biggest port cities in the nine states.A luxurious old-fashioned villa to the east of Seascape was already packed with people. Martial artist guards paced back and forth in front of the entrance.The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in deep purple robes. His eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared frenzied.Next to him was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her expression was one of pain.Beside her were two middle-aged men. They wore gloomy expressions, but rage dance
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed. The new township project was already in full swing. Hundreds of heavy machines were already running around the clock.Garth Properties was becoming more and more well-known. In the eyes of the public, Garth Properties’ “close collaboration” with Gould Properties had somehow been twisted into a fairytale. After all, Edward was Allegra’s uncle.Whether it was the Goulds or the Booths, their names had become the talk of the town in Cloud City or even the whole Southland.Hence, Allegra had been exceptionally busy the past few days. As her reputation improved, she started getting invited to various business and government meetings. Sometimes, she didn’t even have the time to go home to eat dinner.Meanwhile, every weekend, Isaac would wait at the school gate to pick Isabella up. Then, the father and daughter would enjoy some quality bonding time.On Monday night, Isaac’s phone suddenly vibrated.When he saw that it was Emily’s number, he pause
