Human desires were infinite, especially the desire to live forever. No one was unafraid of death. The longer one lived, the more afraid of death one would be. If the blood of the Spirit Turtle truly allowed one to attain immortality, there would be a fierce battle amongst the martial artists after they slayed it. Who would be the last one standing? James had no idea. He simply observed the battle from afar. In the sky, the martial artists all performed their own signature martial art skills. Waves after waves of True Energy struck the Spirit Turtle. “Roar!” Enraged, the Spirit Turtle’s tail lashed out. The powerful force sent three martial artists flying. They vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. As he watched the intense battle, James’ heart skipped a beat. The Spirit Turtle seemed invincible. It was unscathed despite being attacked by so many martial artists from all sides. Not only that, the attackers seemed to be getting injured one by one. O
At the moment of contact, Thea cried out in pain. Then, she collapsed on the ground and writhed in agony. More blood came pouring down. In an instant, Thea was covered in a pool of blood. Lying on the ground, she lost consciousness. As the Spirit Turtle fled, the others gave chase. Enraged, the Spirit Turtle gathered strength and turned to face its pursuers once more. The fierce battle raged on for hours. The Spirit Turtle was fatigued, while the martial artists were injured. Seeing that the time had come, Thomas launched his most powerful attack and sliced the Spirit Turtle’s head off. At that moment, a core fell out. The red core that was as big as a basketball glimmered. “A core?” Upon seeing the core, everyone lost their minds. At that moment, they totally forgot about obtaining the turtle’s blood. They knew that a core would greatly boost their strength. Not only that, this was the core of a thousand-year-old Spirit Turtle. It was worth much more than the tu
Thea was completely covered in the Spirit Turtle’s blood. The blood was boiling, and she felt excruciating pain throughout her body. At the same time, the blood corroded her clothes and entered her body through her skin. She felt power surging into her body and gushing forth into her brain. Then, she lost consciousness. After some time, she regained consciousness. “Argh…” The moment she woke up, she had a mind-splitting headache. She could not help but groan in pain. Boom! At that moment, the sound of an explosion rocked the mountains, and the earth rumbled. She immediately stood up in shock. Then, more explosions came. Boom! Boom! Boom! Thea began panicking. Meanwhile, James was with Jackson. The Spirit Turtle had been slain, and its core had fragmented into many tiny pieces. Many powerful martial artists were duking it out for the core. Both of them were planning to head over to the battlefield to observe the situation when the explosion happened. The two al
In an instant, he appeared before Thea. Then, waving his arm, powerful energy gathered in his palm, which pulled Thea over to him. He grabbed Thea and asked, “Why are you still here, Thea? I thought you returned last night.” “Sir Caden…” Upon seeing Thomas, Thea burst into tears. Seeing the blood all over her, Thomas furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Are you injured?” Then, pulling Thea’s arm, he took her pulse. Thomas’ face darkened. “What power…” At that moment, a missile came flying toward them. “Let’s go.” As an eighth-rank martial artist, Thomas could sense danger. Pulling Thea by the arm, they swiftly escaped. Then, missiles rained down on the region they were at just a moment ago. Boom! The entire region was immediately flattened, and debris scattered in the wind. A hundred or so combat aircraft circled the sky and continued bombing the place non-stop. Even though they were eighth-rank martial artists, they could not withstand the relentless bombardment
James and Jackson escaped the Mount Thunder Sect. There was an army stationed in the distance. Tanks, artilleries, and many soldiers armed with heavy weaponry were gathered. Seeing this, James frowned. Meanwhile, the army had recognized James through its drones. Thus, they did not act recklessly but instead awaited orders from their higher-ups. James walked toward the army and stopped approximately a hundred meters away from them. Then, catalyzing True Energy, he roared, “I demand to see your person in charge!” However, no one responded. The combat aircraft were still bombarding the area. The martial artists who were gravely injured could no longer escape. “Damn it!” came a furious roar. Then, a figure soared into the sky. With the Frost Sword in hand, he slashed. Sword Energy struck a combat aircraft, which instantly disintegrated and crashed to the ground. It was Simon Cabral, an eighth-rank martial artist who stood on top of the power pyramid. When an eighth-rank
“What are you doing, James?” Gloom’s face darkened. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free. After all, his acupuncture points were struck. “Retreat,” James ordered. The soldiers looked at one another, seemingly at a loss. They knew that James was the Dragon King and the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army of the Southern Plains and the Red Flame Army of the Capital. “What army group is this?” James asked coldly as he looked at the columns of soldiers in formation. A soldier stepped forward and said cautiously, “S-Sir, we’re part of the special forces which are not affiliated with any army group. We answer directly to the King.” “I’ll say this once more. Retreat now,” James ordered. “We…” “Do you have a death wish? Do you know who you’re fighting against? You’re having a good time bombarding them only because they are injured. Once you back them to a corner, they can shoot down the combat aircraft with ease. Retreat now if you don’t h
James was not being arrogant.He had reached the seventh rank. Not only that, but the martial technique that he was practicing was the Invincible Body Siddhi. With this martial technique, his defense was quite strong. He was confident that he would not lose against the eighth rank.Besides, he had mastered the Thirteen Heavenly Swords, so he had the capabilities.The King was silent. He had been anticipating this day for a very long time.Now, he could finally strike them all at once. He did not want to pass up this opportunity.“James, you’re the Dragon King of the Southern Plains and the general of two armies. Do you realize the extent to which these ancient martial artists meddle in the affairs of the country? They disregard the law. They should perish and cease to exist. This is an opportunity. There won’t be another one if we miss it.”“I’m aware of that, but do you know how many powerhouses are here? Do you actually think they can be killed?”James was at the seventh rank.
“Yes. I’ll arrange for it right away.”As soon as Henry received the order, he went to make the necessary arrangements.He notified the Red Flame Army and the Black Dragon Army. He called the Blithe King as well and informed him to dispatch troops for support.In the three major military regions, helicopters began to take off.Outside the Mount Thunder Sect…“Let's head over and take a look, Mr. Cabrall, to see how many eighth-rank powerhouses have made it through. Others may live, but members of the Gu Sect must die,” said James.James' goal was to eradicate the Gu Sect. This was an excellent opportunity, and he did not want to pass it up.“Alright.” Jackson nodded.Both of them leaped into the air and flew toward the Mount Thunder Sect.Soon, they appeared in the sky above some ruins. They both stood several meters in the air, scanning the ground below.Black smoke was coming from many locations below, giving off the impression of a battle's aftermath.James did not notice
