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
“Have you not?” James retorted. “You established many research laboratories for the cultivation of Decimation of Immortality. You injected viruses into a large number of people, transforming them into monstrous creatures that resemble neither ghosts nor humans. Do you not deserve to die?”“Did I?” Callan questioned. “When did I start a research laboratory? And what’s that about a virus? What do they have to do with my Decimation of Immortality cultivation?”“What? At this point, you still want to argue and shift the blame?”Hearing that, Callan stopped talking. He knew it would be pointless to say anything else.“I'll send you on your way.”James drew the Blade of Justice and pointed it across from him.Callan closed his eyes.Just as James was about to strike, he took out a sphere, dripping with blood, from behind him. It was about the size of a fist.He presented it to James and said, “This is the Spirit Turtle’s core. After the Spirit Turtle was killed, its core was smashed
“Why would you believe me?”“The core is a wonderful item. I wanted to kill you, but you gave it to me as you were dying. I can tell by this that you don't have a bad heart.” James trusted his intuition. He believed Callan was not necessarily a bad person. Despite being the Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect, Callan did not do anything harmful to the country during his leadership of the Gu Sect in the last century.Besides, Lucjan wanted to kill Callan because he no longer had the desire to fight for power. He was only concerned with cultivating and meditating in seclusion.Callan leaned against the rock and looked at James with an expression of appreciation.“You’re indeed the Dragon King, the Commander of two armies. Your broad-mindedness is unparalleled. I owe you my life. If you need anything in the future, just say the word and I'll gladly assist.”He rose to his feet while he said that. However, as soon as he stood up, he collapsed to the ground.James said promptly, “It's bes
