“Sneaking an attack?”
Jayden saw Caspian grinning at him. Even though his face was all smiles, Caspian’s eyes were covered with a layer of frost. Then, Caspian suddenly stretched out his arms and in a blink virtual-novel.net moved with an insane speed, virtual-novel.net grabbed both of Jayden’s fingers, folding and pulling them. Soon, a cracking sound was heard. Jayden’s right index and middle fingers were directly broken and pulled out from his palm.
In a flash, blood gushed everywhere. Jayden was first dumbfounded. The next second, the immense paint spread from his wounds, and virtual-novel.net stared at his right hand in disbelief. His heart beat so violently that it almost crashed his sternum. Then, virtual-novel.net felt a strong air current rushing toward him.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding air seemed to turn into a vacuum. When Jayden raised his head, virtual-novel.net let out a silent scream, and virtual-novel.net saw a fist getting larger in his sight as if it were a meteorite wanting to blast virtual-novel.net into pieces.
“I’m going to die!” Jayden was wholly disheartened, and his blood seemed to have frozen. Then, however, Jayden suddenly felt something pulling virtual-novel.net hard by the back of his waist, and virtual-novel.net immediately backward like a cannonball.
Almost at the same time, Caspian struck with his punch.
“Eight-Shadowed Fists!”
Boom!
A deafening roar came from where Jayden stood. Soon, the entire air exploded, causing billowing air currents to form into visible tides, sweeping across the surroundings and violently shaking the area.
Jayden fell beside Stanley’s feet, and virtual-novel.net stared wide-eyed at the scene, feeling his scalp go numb and his cheeks tingling in pain. At that moment, Jayden was frightened to the core. If Caspian managed to strike virtual-novel.net just now, would his head not be blown into pieces?
At the thought of that, Jayden was shocked and angry.
Caspian kept away his fist and frowned at the person in a black cloak standing behind Jayden. When Caspian aimed his punch at Jayden, virtual-novel.net saw the man in the black cloak abruptly swing his sleeve, and a long chain was tossed out. Next, a hook on the front of the chain grabbed Jayden’s waist and pulled virtual-novel.net back, saving his life. Otherwise, Jayden’s brain fluid might already be splattered on the ground.
Caspian immediately made a judgment and thought, ‘This person could instantly save Jayden when I attacked him. He must be much stronger than the rest!’
Omar and the rest also looked at the man in a black cloak with an unprecedented solemnity. Although it happened in a flash, everyone could tell that the person was much stronger than Jayden. Moreover, if Jayden was already the top among the apprentices in Ninth Sacred Sect, who was the person!
Then, Jayden took out a precious pill and swallowed it. As virtual-novel.net covered his wounds, virtual-novel.net stood and stared at Caspian with a bitter expression. “Brat, you’re dead!”
“How dare you eat my precious medicine?! You’re done, and no one can save you now!” Caspian replied as virtual-novel.net glared at him.
“Your precious medicine?” Jayden was dumbfounded, but virtual-novel.net quickly understood what Caspian said. Not only did Caspian want to kill him, but virtual-novel.net would snatch his storage bag too. When virtual-novel.net realized that, Jayden fumed with rage. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to shout, a cold voice came from behind him.
“Shut up! Aren’t you embarrassing yourself enough?!”
Jayden’s face immediately changed between red and white. Soon, virtual-novel.net lowered his head and retreated. Not only Jayden but Stanley and Yuri also appeared fearful. Then, the man in black cloak took a step forward and faced Caspian and the others.
Even though virtual-novel.net was yet to show his identity, the man in a black cloak emitted a terrifying momentum, causing Caspian to feel pressured. It was like the depression of a heavy storm on a summer evening, making it hard for people to breathe smoothly.
“I didn’t expect such a figure to appear among the Heavenly Stars Sect’s apprentices. It seems that there may be another one that’s the same level as Xander.” The man in black cloak sneered, but his tone suddenly changed.
“Unfortunately for you, your life’s going to end today!”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net abruptly removed his cloak. Then, a dark shadow jumped into the sky. Before Caspian and the others could see his appearance, they felt a huge sense of danger incoming. It was like a sharp cold light, slashing at their cheeks wanting to tear their souls in half.
Caspian almost instinctively raised his hands, and his Ghoul-Locker Spear stabbed out like a dragon emerging from the ocean. Then, with a clank and followed by a large group of sparks, Caspian only felt a tremendous force shaking his Ghoul-Locker Spear, and the spear buzzed, which made Caspian stand unsteadily.
Almost at the same time, Omar, Maya, and Solana were also attacked! A series of fires appeared when Omar’s Dual Blades of Fire and Ice were smashed. Maya used the Ninth Heaven’s Phoenix Dance Technique to narrowly avoid the person’s attack, and Solana blocked herself with the massive ax. However, virtual-novel.net still moved about eight steps backward, barely stabilizing herself.
The person pulled out a long afterimage around virtual-novel.net and returned to where virtual-novel.net stood before with a scimitar in his hand, smiling at everyone. He was so fast and powerful that virtual-novel.net could not only attack four people at once, but virtual-novel.net could suppress them with the wave of his hand!
Omar and the others did not look so great after witnessing the man’s potential.
“You’re definitely not just an apprentice!” Omar spat out a sentence with great difficulty. Although the opponent just waved his blade at will, it almost stopped the blood flow in Omar’s body. Hence, Omar could barely open his mouth as virtual-novel.net still felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest.
“You’re right, I’m not an apprentice!” the man smiled, “I’m the Ninth Sacred Sect’s outer disciple, Pablo Goff. That way, at least you’ll know whose hands you died in.”
“Outer disciple!” Despite having guessed it, Omar and Maya’s expressions turned unsightly when Pablo admitted it. After all, a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm might be only a step away from the second-stage Pulse Control realm, but their strength was a world of difference!
The 12 extra meridians that a second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator could condense was enough to crush a first-stage cultivator.
“Ninth Sacred Sect… Why would an outer disciple come to kill monsters…” Maya also struggled to speak. The bloodthirstiness emitted by Pablo’s scimitar was like a boulder pressuring on virtual-novel.net chest.
As if Pablo was confident that virtual-novel.net could easily kill Caspian and the rest, virtual-novel.net smiled mockingly. “Why can’t a Ninth Sacred Sect’s outer disciple come and kill monsters?”
Everyone was stunned by his reply.
