Chapter 254 No Road Ahead, Please Turn Back
“Kill, no mercy for today!”
When the black scaled python carried Fergus Archer out of more than a hundred meters away, Fergus Archer’s voice echoed between heaven and earth, cold and arrogant like a huge bell!
Obviously!
It was said to his three tiger generals!
“Yes sir!”
The three tiger generals responded simultaneously.
In the South Forest area, the barbarian tribe led by Fergus Archer was undoubtedly the king. They killed, plundered and did whatever they wanted. Even now in the capital, they were fearless!
Otherwise!
They would not dare to bring their beast pets to the capital ostentatiously and cause storms all over the city!
Roar!
Behind, the roar of the black swamp rhino was like thunder!
The killing intent was chilling!
Sean led Julia along the street all the way east. Only a few dozen meters away from Fergus Archer behind him, he naturally heard Fergus Archer’s order and felt the killing intent of Fergus Archer and the three tiger generals!
However!
Sean didn’t care!
He had instructed Tim Lewis before to harass as the main tactic. Run away if you can’t beat them. Tim Lewis was an old fox who would never fight desperately. Once overwhelmed, he would probably run faster than a rabbit!
The five elders left by Prince Roscoe were the same!
It was mutual use from the beginning!
Half a minute later, Sean flew out for miles like a flash of lightning, taking Julia with him. He could no longer hear the movement over there at Jade Restaurant. Behind him was only the strange hiss of the black scaled python and the rumble of impact!
Where the black scaled python passed, cars flew and pedestrians screamed!
Gruesome!
Julia had never experienced this feeling of being grabbed and flying like this in her life. It was thrilling and exciting. Her heart was pounding madly, tense to the extreme!
The wind cut her face and her hair flew wildly!
“Mr. Mason…”
Julia grimaced and glanced back at the relentless Fergus Archer and black scaled python. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going?”
“If all else fails, just…”
Hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, “Just put me down!”
“Fergus Archer is after me!”
“It’s because of me that Mr. Mason is implicated. As long as Mr. Mason hands me over to him, you can go on your own… He shouldn’t stop you…”
Like Tim Lewis!
Although Julia knew Sean was very powerful, she did not believe Sean would be Fergus Archer’s opponent!
Now!
Sean kept fleeing with her and avoiding the fight. This was the best proof!
She did not want to see Sean killed because of her!
So!
Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she had to face her destiny. She had been promised by Padishah to Fergus Archer. Fergus Archer was her fiancé!
And!
The grand wedding was imminent!
“Shut up!”
“Hold on tight to me!”
Sean knew Julia’s thoughts. If he left her behind, even if Fergus Archer didn’t kill her, she would probably seek death, wouldn’t she? After all, she had said before that she would rather die than marry Fergus Archer!
Sean certainly would not stand by and watch her go to her death!
So…
Sean not only did not stop, but accelerated. After traveling for about twenty minutes, he finally left the bustling downtown area and came to the eastern suburbs of the capital!
There were few people here!
Going further was the jungle-covered, miles-high Hill Riverside!
That was where the three tiger generals had been lurking before!
“Is this the way out you’ve found for yourself?”
Looking up at the not-so-distant Hill Riverside, an odd color appeared between Fergus Archer’s eyebrows. He sneered coldly, “Foolish!”
“Do you know?”
“The black scaled python under this king’s feet is the king of the jungle!”
“Jungle combat!”
“Perhaps, there is no need for this king to take action personally. You, this dogshit General Wolf of the North, will die in the filthy belly of the black scaled python and become its lunch today!”
The black scaled python came from South Forest!
The mountains and forests were its old nest!
“Is that so?”
Sean replied without looking back, “Then let’s fight in the mountains!”
After finishing speaking!
He took Julia and swooshed into the woods, climbing swiftly up the mountain slope!
Hiss!
The black-scaled python relentlessly chased after them, and in the blink of an eye, the twenty-meter-long giant snake disappeared into the lush jungle of Hill Riverside.
However!
Wherever the black-scaled python passed, trees would occasionally collapse, and rocks would shatter.
At this moment…
To the north and south of where Sean and Fergus Archer had disappeared, there were two groups of about twenty people each tailing them.
The group from the south was led by Prince Gerard!
From the north, it was Prince Carl!
Following both of them were elders with Complete Stage strength!
Without exception!
The two groups were hundreds of meters apart, and they could see each other from a distance, recognizing each other’s identity.
The princes personally led their teams!
Twenty Complete Stage practitioners were dispatched at once!
Even in the capital, where powerful families were veerywhere, apart from the Padishah in the Imperial Palace, only Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe could assemble such a strong lineup!
From this!
One could see how seriously Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe took the battle between Sean and Fergus Archer!
General Wolf of the North faced the South Forest Beast King!
The outcome of this battle not only concerned the life and death of Sean and Fergus Archer but would also directly affect the situation in the struggle for the throne. After all, top-level experts like Sean and Fergus Archer, who had one foot in the Bright Realm, were rare and precious!This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Either!
Both sides had them!
Or!
Neither side had them!
If one of them died and the other lived, the delicate balance would immediately be broken, and the scales of the struggle for the throne would tilt completely to one side.
“Carl, go back,” Gerard suddenly shouted to Carl across the distance. “You have no chance.”
His voice, wrapped in dark energy, easily traveled hundreds of meters and entered Carl’s ears.
To this!
Carl scoffed!
“The battle has not yet begun, and the outcome is not yet determined. It is still unknown who will fall.”
A moment later, Carl’s voice rang out: “Overconfident soldiers are bound to fail!”
“It’s best not to be too confident!”
As for Sean’s true strength, Prince Ashby was not clear. But after the previous battle at the Kats River and Luna Porter’s repeated probing of Sean, Prince Roscoe was now sure that Sean, like Fergus Archer, had touched the threshold of the Bright Realm!
Otherwise!
Prince Roscoe would not have pinned his hopes on Sean!
“Hehe!”
Gerard sneered and shook his head: “In that case, do as you please, Carl.”
“But!”
“Don’t blame me for not warning you. Fergus Archer is reckless, bloodthirsty, and fond of killing. After he kills Sean, he might not let Carl leave unharmed…”
Having said that!
Without waiting for Carl’s response, he led the Complete Stage elders behind him into the jungle of Hill Riverside, following Sean and Fergus Archer!
Waiting for the right opportunity!
If things went as they expected and Fergus Archer killed Sean later, Gerard wouldn’t mind teaming up with Fergus Archer to take the chance to eliminate Carl and his people!
Without Sean and losing the support of these twenty Complete Stage practitioners, Prince Roscoe would be done for!
He would never have a chance to turn things around!
Carl naturally understood Gerard’s intentions!
But!
He didn’t believe it!
He didn’t believe that with Sean’s strength, he would lose so thoroughly that after Fergus Archer won, he would still have the strength to deal with them!
As long as Sean could severely injure Fergus Archer, that would be enough!
“Let’s go!”
Carl waved his hand and led his people into the Hill Riverside jungle, chasing after them…
…
From the foot of the mountain to the peak, even with Sean’s speed, it took nearly half an hour. The height of Hill Riverside could be imagined!
The cliff was towering!
Sean wasn’t running around aimlessly like a headless fly, but rather had a plan and a target as he galloped through the jungle. After reaching the top of Hill Riverside, he went straight to a huge stone tablet!
Then, Sean finally stopped!
He let go of Julia!
Julia’s hair was disheveled by the strong wind, her face pale, and her clothes were torn in several places by tree branches on the mountain. With her disheveled appearance, where was the noble and elegant demeanor of a dignified princess?
She looked like a beggar!
However!
Julia didn’t care about her appearance. After steadying her feet, she instinctively looked up at the giant stone tablet in front of her. In the middle of the tablet, there were three words engraved:
Cliff of Return!
On either side of the three large characters, there were slightly smaller words engraved:
On the left: No way forward!
On the right: Turn back here!
Julia felt a slight stirring in her heart. Her gaze passed over the giant stone tablet, and she glanced behind it. This casual look drained all color from her already pale face in an instant!
Cliff!
Behind the stone tablet was a bottomless, steep cliff!
A sheer precipice!
The mountain wind blew directly into her face, bringing a bone-chilling cold that made Julia shiver involuntarily. She felt dizzy and her legs were weak.
She instinctively took two steps back, turned to look at Sean, and asked, “Mr. Mason, what…?”
“What is the meaning of this?”
However, before Sean could answer and dispel Julia’s doubts, the sound of cracking trees came. The black-scaled python, carrying Fergus Archer, had caught up with them, cornering Sean and Julia on the Cliff of Return!
No way forward?
No way back either!
