They’d almost lost all of their powers. Later, painful cries could be heard as each of their lives were extinguished.The formation spun—the four men of Rakshasa Temple experienced the same fate as the disciples of the Returning Sword Sect.Seeing experts of the Rakshasa Temple being exterminated so swiftly, Jade’s expressions turned from shock to fear.She looked towards Alex, realizing that the kid she’d once known had grown into such a powerful existence within two years. She looked up to him now and even felt scared of him.“Are you afraid of me?” Alex could tell what Jade was thinking and smiled. “It wasn’t easy, you know? I worked so hard for this day. Now, you can’t pick on me anymore.”Jade pinched his ears hard. “I’ll always be your master.”Alex cried, “Ouch, don’t be mean! I guess you’ll only be gentle with your man, huh? Go and pinch Xerxes if you have the guts.”Jade glanced at him. “Do you want to be mine?”“Uhm, I…”“Do you want to or not?”“Can I really?” Alex
“The Emperor’s been kidnapped?” Alex was stunned as if his brain wasn’t functioning. “Who kidnapped him? For what reason? Could it be the Republic of Mai?”America and the Republic of Mai had long been enemies. They’d been at war for many years, even sabotaging each other behind the scenes, so Alex guessed it was them.However, Jade shook her head. “It’s not them. It’s Rakshasa Temple. They’ve requested for you to meet them, or they’ll kill the Emperor! Only you can save the Emperor now. Follow me! Quick!”While Alex was still processing all the information, Jade grabbed hold of him and headed towards the door.Alex shouted as he quickly covered his body with his hands.“Hey! Let go! Let go first… D*mn! I don’t even have my clothes on! Can you just go and wait outside…”Jade was anxious. “What are you still waiting for? The clock is ticking! It’s not like I’ve never seen a naked man. Why? Do you have an extra limb or something?”As she spoke, she even slapped Alex’s hand out of
Many people voluntarily headed out to Terra Mountain in the hopes of saving the Emperor.***While Alex and Jade rushed their way to the mountain, Jade explained the situation to him—“Your father-in-law, Gilbert, and Xerxes are both on their way to Terra Mountain too.”“Twenty-four of the best Flying Eagles fighters are on their way too. They’ve all reached Immortalization, so they make quite a formidable force together. They’ll save the Emperor once they have the chance.”“The weapons we’ve brought along this time are all secret weapons of the newest technology. When we’re there, you only have to attract the Rakshasa Temple’s attention and create an opportunity for us. We can save the Emperor within thirty seconds.”“Besides, we have reliable news that the Rakshasa Temple’s target this time is the Martello Celio.”“Did you really take away their Martello Celio that day?”Alex nodded as he listened. “I understand. It shouldn’t be hard to distract them for a minute.” Jade sai
Alex concentrated hard to heal Jade’s foot. He was afraid that once her veins had been harmed by the impact of the Martello Celio, they couldn’t be fully healed. If that were the case, it would significantly affect Jade. Luckily, under the divine power of the Ultimate Book of Medicine and Jade’s own great recovery powers, the severely wounded foot healed quickly, and the damaged veins recovered in a short time.“Jade, are you really human?”Alex squeezed Jade’s fully recovered and, once again, beautiful foot. He activated his primordial eye, checking it thoroughly. He noticed that other than the healing of her wounds, the veins on her foot were slightly different from the average person’s.Moreover, there was a strong flow of weird energy within her flesh and blood.Because of this energy, she was able to heal so quickly. Her healing abilities were as great as Alex’s body, which had True Martial Marrow.Jade glared at him. “What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m not human?”
He’d spent so much effort to get this supreme weapon, yet it ended up being his master’s. Worse, he couldn’t take it back.***Finally, they reached Terra Mountain.Endless majestic mountains filled their sight. There was a golden platform high up among the clouds, which looked holy and magisterial.Alex was shocked. “Is Terra Mountain that huge?”Jade said, “Mount Dragon-Tiger has been expanded greatly. So the dojo of Terra Mountain is considered one of the best in the country. Many royals come here to pray and hold offering rituals to the heavens. It’s been blessed by the royalty and is known as a holy place.”“Is that the ritual platform? Are the Rakshasa Temple and the Emperor there?”“Nope!”Jade glanced at the golden platform. She could only see a part of it, as the top was completely hidden within the thick clouds. “That’s the legendary Fuzen Tower. Rumors are that the Fuzen ceremony was held there many years ago.”“Although Rakshasa Temple has control over Terra Mounta
Xerxes anxiously watched Alex and Jade follow the Rakshasa Temple up the stairs. Despite how worried he was, there was nothing he could do.Jade’s personality was just like that. No one could affect the decisions once she had made up her mind. Even Xerxes, who used to be her husband, couldn't… That was also the biggest problem between them. Jade wasn’t as obedient to him as other women.He wanted to follow them, but he was the instrument in saving the Emperor. The golden bamboo boat was the fastest divine artifact that could save the Emperor in thirty seconds, making it the most important part of this mission.Gilbert patted Xerxes’ shoulder as he noticed how anxious he was. “Don’t worry, bro. Commander Benmore is a powerful woman. She must have her reasons for making such a choice. You should have faith in her.”Xerxes sighed. “I just don't understand her anymore.”Gilbert shook his head. “You’re always sleeping with other women; it’d be a wonder if you understood her.”“Relax
He was looking for the Emperor. Finally, he found the lonely silhouette of the Emperor in a corner… No one was guarding him. Like an unloved child, he was left alone in a corner.‘Then it shouldn’t be difficult rescuing the Emperor?’ Alex blinked as he thought.However, just as he was thinking of how to attract the attention of his enemies, an elder of Rakshasa Temple said, “Alex, you’re finally here. We’ve waited for a long time. Alright then, you may leave now, Emperor of America.”“Huh?” Alex and Jade were both stunned.‘The Emperor was saved… just like that?’‘Wouldn’t that… be too easy?’Alex and Jade didn’t even have to help the Emperor up. With a wave of the hand, the elder sent the Emperor up in the air, then threw him off the platform.“Your majesty!” Jade screamed, immediately rushing forward to catch him.Only then did she notice that the ground beneath her feet had become gooey like mud, trapping her in. She couldn’t even jump up, much less fly away.At such a crit
Jeremy was silent for a few seconds, then started laughing so loudly the skies trembled.The power of the half-stepped fairy realm was revealed in the form of soul pressure. In an instant, everyone around felt extremely uncomfortable, inflicted by painful headaches, as if they were being choked by the throat. Not only were the people within the formation affected, but the Flying Eagles watching from the outside felt unwell too.Fortunately, Jeremy only laughed for a while.“Kid, it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen someone as bold as you. I wonder if you truly have the strength, or are you just plain stupid?”Alex smiled and said, “Your handicapped son knows best if I’m dumb or not! Jeremy, is it? I’ll give you one last chance. Bring everyone from your Returning Sword Sect now to the Thousand Miles Conglomerate and kneel there for seven days and nights.”“Repent for your sins, and you might have a chance to reunite with your son, or else… Hmm, oh? Haha! Jeremy, you’d bet
