Callan rushed over, got on his knees, and picked up James' hand to check James’ pulse. After a while, his lips curved into a deep frown and he asked, “What happened for him to sustain such terrible injuries? His internal organs have all sustained some form of damage, and his meridians have been shattered. It’s already a miracle that he’s still breathing right now.”Bennett sighed. “This kid is too tender-hearted. After defeating Yaakov, he showed him grace and allowed Yaakov to escape with his life. However, Yaakov put everything he had into an underhanded sneak attack and severely injured him.”Callan stood up, looked at Bennett, and said, “Bennett, I know the Candes have unparalleled medical skills, but there’s nothing you can do to help him in this state… Fortunately, I’ve got a method to save and keep him alive, but…”“But what?”Bennett stared hard at Callan.He began guessing the identity of the person before him. Who exactly was this ambiguous old man?Among the best of th
After weighing the risks, Bennett nodded.He had seen Callan’s previous appearance before. His current appearance must have been due to the fact that his True Energy had dissipated, and he ha not much longer for this world. His life span was simply forcibly extended.The current Callan did not pose any threat to him.After Henry sorted out the logistics, Bennett, Callan, and the unconscious James boarded the helicopter and left for the Capital.As for Henry, he waited patiently in place as he had been ordered to.Jackson eventually returned and saw the military troops stationed around the area. He knew James likely requested the services of these people, so he approached them. However, countless guns were immediately pointed at him the moment he walked closer to the troops. He stated his purpose, “I’m looking for your commander-in-chief.”The soldiers of the Red Flame Army were not going to let their guard down so readily.They kept their guns aimed at Jackson while the messag
Callan had never seen or heard of such miraculous medical skills before.“That’s a given fact.”Bennett replied sarcastically, “If I was in my prime, I could also wake him up easily.”He was also an eighth-ranked grandmaster and could use his True Energy to forcefully prolong James’ life had he not not participated in the previous battles. This was the reason why he was so sure that James would pull through. He knew if James regained consciousness, he would gradually recover back to full health after recuperating for some time.Suddenly, blood gushed from James’ lips again.When he saw this, Bennett’s expression became desperate.He urgently ran toward the medicine cabinet, dug out some small bottles, and poured out countless elixirs. He forcefully stuffed these pills into James’ mouth and mobilized his True Energy in an effort to stabilize the injuries.Ten minutes later…Bennett slumped weakly on the chair and wiped the sweat off his forehead.Callan wore a solemn expression
When the entire incident on Mt. Thunder was happening, Terentville citizens noticed the strange air around their city.Many local freelance journalists reported on the incident, which almost immediately went viral online.Additionally, some blurry footage was posted of combat aircraft bombing a snow-capped mountain range.However, the state explained that it was simply a military exercise and assured citizens they had nothing to worry about.Quincy and the others knew that it was not just a military exercise.They knew that something turbulent must have happened in Terentville.Unfortunately, they were far away in Cansington and were not able to further investigate what exactly went down.The few women gathered together all shared the same concerned look.Cynthia appeared nonchalant on the surface but was an anxious wreck about the situation inside.The night passed by silently.The following day, a large number of troops appeared in Mount Thunder Sect’s territory, which was
The Malevolent Sword buried deep underground in the Snow Cavern shot out like a comet and stopped neatly in Thea’s hand. Thea held onto the sword, leaped into the air, and disappeared in a flash as countless martial artists looked on.Following her departure, the area became calm again.The martial artists that fell to the ground got back to their feet one after another.Henry was also helped back up. However, he sustained severe injuries.The people from Medical Valley quickly provided him with treatment.Meanwhile, the others were dumbfounded and exchanged confused glances with each other.Maxine had a serious expression as she looked in the direction Thea had left. She murmured, “What exactly happened? Why is Thea’s energy so strong?”She looked at Jackson and asked, “Mr. Cabral, what’s going on? What did you tell her?”Jackson was equally puzzled when he replied, “I didn’t say much. She asked me about James’ whereabouts, so I told her that Yaakov had attacked James while
Thomas traveled in the direction pointed out by Maxine. However, after continuing on the path for some time, he realized that he could not feel the aura of the Malevolent Sword.The aura of the Malevolent Sword was unique, and Thomas was very familiar with it as he had held the sword before. Thus, he was also able to sense the sword’s aura even if it was a few kilometers away. Additionally, he was also an eighth-ranked grandmaster and traveled much faster than Thea.Two hours later, Thomas came to a stop.He spat out in irritation. “What’s going on? Why haven’t I sensed the Malevolent Sword’s energy yet?”His forehead was creased in confusion as he murmured, “Could it be that brat, Maxine, lied to me?”He closed his eyes and thought about the situation.Thea must have experienced an Energy Deviation when she heard James had been seriously injured.Jackson said that the person who caused this was Yaakov, from the Johnston family.“Technically, Thea should be fine if she doesn’t
He would have fallen to the floor if not for the seatbelt. His heart was racing and it took him a few seconds to regain his composure. When he looked at her again, all he saw was a beautiful woman looking at him puzzledly.Her eyes were no different from an ordinary person's and in fact, was even more beautiful.Thea looked at Francisco, turned away, and looked out the window without saying a word. The scenery outside the window was a wide blue sky with white clouds drifting serenely through it.“Was I seeing things?” Francisco mumbled to himself in confusion. He eventually concluded that he must have imagined it.After taking a deep breath to ready himself once more, he smiled brightly and said, “Hello, my name is Francisco. I’m from Terentville. I own a barbecue restaurant franchise and I’ve opened more than 30 chain restaurants already. I’m planning to expand my business to the Capital and am heading there to survey the market.” Thea ignored him.Her indifference baffle
The Johnstons’ animosity for James was way past the stage of simple hatred. They absolutely despised his very existence.He abolished their family head’s cultivation base, leaving him on the brink of death and bedridden.It was also he who brought the strongest member of the family low and the reason that they were now without their Grand Patriarch.They all knew that James had been severely injured.Even if he did not die, he would at the very least be crippled for life.Despite his current condition, the Johnstons were not willing to bury the grudge they had against him.The moment they saw Thea, they felt the flames of resentment towards James were rekindled once more.Seven to eight family members drew their swords in a flash and surrounded Thea.“Thea, not even divine intervention can save you from your fate today! Mark my words!” One of the younger Johnstons said with his teeth bared at her.Thea looked at the Johnstons, and the scene of James taking Yaakov’s decisive bl
