Chapter 279: Deadly Trap, No Matter the Cost
How strong was Sean’s perception? Even when being attacked by dozens of people, he noticed Bernardo’s movements and had a vague suspicion of what was happening.
Were they planning to… die together?
Sean had grown up in the Mason family and had lived in the mansion for 21 years. Naturally, he knew there were hidden traps within the mansion.
However, they had never been used before!
So, Sean had only heard of them from his father, Parker Mason, but had never seen them.
“This…” The remaining old man also noticed Bernardo’s movements. When he saw Bernardo running towards the fake mountain, he immediately understood Old Mrs. Mason’s intentions.
In the Mason family, the activation methods for the traps were top-secret, known only to a select few. In addition to the head of the family, only the elders who had reached the Complete Stage of dark energy were aware of them.
The old man was one of them!
In his shock, the old man glanced back at Old Mrs. Mason. As their eyes met in surprise, Old Mrs. Mason nodded imperceptibly, as if to say, “I have no choice!”
“There’s no other way!”
“This is the only option!”
In such a critical moment, whether the old man agreed or not, it didn’t matter anymore. He had no time to stop her. Old Mrs. Mason was determined to act first and report later!
So, without thinking, the old man’s first reaction was to retreat frantically and withdraw from the battle circle. Saving his own life was the priority!
As for the dozens of Mason family members who were still fighting to the death against Sean, it was sad that they were loyal and devoted to the family, willing to risk their lives to protect its interests. But at the crucial moment, they were abandoned without mercy.
They were kept in the dark and completely unaware that, in addition to the great threat from Sean, another “death god” invited by Old Mrs. Mason and Bernardo was approaching them silently.
Boom! Booming sounds came almost at the same moment as the old man withdrew from the battle circle. A series of explosions suddenly emanated from the buildings around the courtyard.
Everyone was startled!
However, before they could figure out what was happening, a sudden change occurred!
Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The sound of tearing through the air came from all directions. Turning their heads, they saw numerous gleaming, razor-sharp spears, like a swarm of bees, shooting out simultaneously from the surrounding buildings.
So many of them!
At least dozens!
From the east, west, south, and north!
With the battle circle at the center, they covered all directions in a 360-degree arc without any blind spots, divided into upper, middle, and lower levels. There was no place to retreat, no place to avoid!
Unless you could fly!
Otherwise!
It was almost a certain death situation!
“What the hell!!!”
“What’s going on???”
“This is…”
In an instant!
Those dozens of Mason family members were all dumbfounded!
Terrified!
They simply couldn’t believe their own eyes!
A chill ran from the soles of their feet to their foreheads, their body hair stood on end, cold sweat broke out on their backs, they swallowed saliva continuously, and their hearts pounded wildly…
In this situation!
Where did they have any extra energy to deal with Sean?
The blood in their bodies turned cold in an instant!
They instinctively raised their weapons to block the attack!
However, the traps and hidden weapons in the Mason family’s villa were originally designed to deal with top dark energy masters, like Sean, who was on the verge of entering the Bright Realm!
How could they withstand the attack?
Old Mrs. Mason didn’t know that Sean had officially entered the Bright Realm!
That’s why she thought she could do it!
With these traps and hidden weapons, she was sure she could kill Sean on the spot!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Dozens of razor-sharp spears tore through the air like arrows, swiftly reaching the crowd with a murderous intent, resulting in a horrifying scene!
Some were shot in the stomach, the spear piercing through!
Some were shot in the thigh, falling among the corpses at their feet!
And others!
Less fortunate, were shot in the head or neck, blood spurting out, and they died instantly!
Screams filled the air!
Wails of agony echoed!
Those who saw it were terrified!
Those who heard it were horrified!
And Sean!
Being surrounded by dozens of Mason family members in the middle, he now had a huge advantage, because those Mason family members acted like walls and barriers, blocking most of the razor-sharp spears for him!
This!
Was this the hidden weapon in the Mason family’s villa?
It was indeed powerful!
It was indeed ruthless!
In fact!
With Sean’s strength, even the old man could have retreated from the battle circle in advance, and if he wanted, he could too!
But he didn’t!
He wanted to see what kind of hidden weapons had been set up in the Mason family’s villa!
Now!
He had seen it!
One round of shooting had killed more than half of the surrounding Mason family members, leaving only a few left, who were lucky enough to survive!
However!
This was just the beginning, not the end!
Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Bernardo apparently knew that the probability of killing Sean with a single round of shooting was small, so he stood beside a rockery, watching the situation here, and immediately pressed the hidden weapon button again, decisively launching the second round of killing!
Suddenly!
Dozens of razor-sharp spears shot out again from the surrounding buildings, rushing towards Sean like a tidal wave!
This time!
There was no human wall to shield Sean!
“Die!”
“Die!”
“Die!”
Having killed so many of the Mason family members with his own hands, Bernardo, the current patriarch of the Mason family, was heartbroken and furious, staring at Sean with murderous eyes, gritting his teeth and cursing, “Bastard!”
“You go to hell!”
“I don’t believe it!”
“That even this can’t kill you!!!”
At this moment!
The commotion here had already alarmed the family members of the Mason family, their wives, children, and parents. They didn’t dare to come closer but saw everything that happened here!
“Husband!!!”
“Son!!!”
“Father!!!”
Heart-wrenching cries came from a distance, as the family members watched their husbands, sons, and fathers fall under the barrage of spears, helpless. Their eyes were filled with shock and anger as they looked at Old Mrs. Mason!
“How could you be so heartless!”
“They are all of your blood, your sons, nephews, and grandsons!!!”
But!
Despite the wailing and howling of the family members, Old Mrs. Mason stood there quietly, turning a blind eye and deaf ear, her cold and ruthless gaze fixed on Sean, who was at the eye of the storm!
In her eyes!
There was only Sean!
In her heart!
There was only one thought!
That was to kill Sean!
Kill!

Kill!
As long as she could kill Sean here, she was willing to pay any price!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
When the second round of razor-sharp spears attacked, the few Mason family members who had survived the first round of shooting by a fluke were not so lucky this time, falling one after another in the blink of an eye!
Boom!
Just as dozens of sharp spears surrounded Sean, only a few meters away from him, when Old Mrs. Mason, Bernardo, and the old man all widened their eyes, held their breath, and waited to see Sean turned into a hedgehog by the random shots, Sean stood alone at the center of the storm, his body shaking violently, the dark energy and bright energy within him combining and emanating from his body!
In an instant!
An unparalleled gale appeared around Sean’s body, like a tornado, forming an invisible gale wall, firmly protecting Sean in the middle!
Dozens of sharp spears shot at the gale wall at the same time!
However!
They could not penetrate!
