Chapter 298: Never Resigned, the Most Dazzling Guy in the Field
You’ve seen rain fall from the sky, but have you ever seen corpses fall from the sky?
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Those Complete Stage elders scrambled to escape in all directions, leaping up in an attempt to jump over the vermilion walls of the mansion and flee the scene. Unfortunately, Sean was not only faster than them, but the blade light phantom transformed from bright energy was even faster!
Moreover, it could kill from a distance!
So, those poor Complete Stage elders, who were either the ancestors, elders, or heads of their respective families and the pillars of their homes, were nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs under Sean’s butcher’s knife!
They could only be slaughtered at will!
Their bodies had just leaped into mid-air when the terrifying blade light phantom had already attacked them from behind!
An ankle ached!
Then, the foot was gone!
Or a thigh ached!
Then, the leg was gone!
Or the waist ached!
And then, the body was cut in two!
Even the neck ached!
Damn it!
Blood spurted out instantly, the head separated, and the brain fell to the ground like a leather ball, rolling far away!
Hands! Feet! Arms! Thighs! Brains…
All sorts of body parts and organs were falling down, and at a glance, it looked like corpses were falling from the sky, along with severed limbs and arms!
Such a magnificent and colorful scene, even when compared to the scene where Sean had just executed Fergus Archer, was no less shocking, just as domineering and unparalleled!
Just as!
Cruel and crazy!!!
However, what was different was that when they saw the elite practitioners under Prince Ashby’s command being killed one after another, Prince Roscoe and others were not only shocked but also filled with incomparable excitement and enthusiasm!
Originally!
After the battle at Hill Riverside and the previous battle with Fergus Archer, only nine Complete Stage elders remained alive under Prince Roscoe’s command. They were completely passive in the contest for the throne with Prince Ashby, with almost no chance of turning the tables!
But now!
Sean single-handedly changed the situation, killing Fergus Archer in an instant and wiping out so many Complete Stage practitioners under Prince Ashby’s command. He not only saved the lives of Prince Roscoe and others but also invisibly leveled the disadvantages for them!
He turned the tables!
Of course!
Sean’s original intention was not to help Prince Roscoe, but rather, Prince Ashby was their common enemy!
On the contrary!
Prince Ashby and others were almost scared out of their wits and enraged!!!
“This…”
“This, this, this…”
Prince William and Prince Green were so frightened by the scene before them that their legs went weak, sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their hearts pounded wildly, even their tongues trembled!
They couldn’t even speak!
They never thought, not even in their dreams, that Sean would be so bold as to not only execute Fergus Archer but also kill their subordinates in front of them, the princes, without hesitation!
He killed as soon as he spoke!
However, facing a Bright Realm practitioner like Sean, even though they were princes, they were helpless. They could only watch helplessly, even worrying that after killing those Complete Stage elders, Sean might turn on them!
Before, they would never have believed that Sean would dare to confront them publicly, but now, they no longer had that confidence and courage…
…
Boom!
When the last mutilated corpse of a Complete Stage elder fell beneath the vermilion walls, Sean finally put away the Wolf’s Massacre!
A total of thirty-two people!
Twenty-one were killed by Sean in one breath, and eleven successfully escaped the mansion!
Then, Sean slowly turned around and looked at the pale-faced Prince Ashby, asking, “Is Your Highness Prince Ashby satisfied with such a result?”
Initially, Sean had given Prince Ashby a chance to take only half of the people’s lives as the price for redemption!
However, Prince Ashby did not agree!
So, Sean took matters into his own hands, killing five more people on top of the half!
It was a clear slap in Prince Ashby’s face!
“Great! Very good!!!” Prince Ashby glared at Sean, facing him eye to eye, making no effort to hide his raging anger and intense killing intent. Clenching his teeth, he growled, “If you have the guts!”
“Good! Kill me now as well!” he continued. “Otherwise, don’t let me find an opportunity, because when the time comes, I’ll return today’s humiliation tenfold, a hundredfold!”
“I swear by the title of a prince!!!” His voice was resolute and neither humble nor arrogant, as cold and terrifying as if it came from the depths of hell.
“Me too!” “I’m in!!!” Prince William and Prince Green chimed in with forced determination.
However, Sean scoffed at the threats from Prince Ashby and the others, retorting, “Really? Prince Ashby, you and I are truly kindred spirits, with hearts that beat as one! I’m waiting for my chance too! Please, Your Highnesses, wash your necks, and when the time comes, I’ll take your heads myself!”
At this point, the enmity between Sean and Prince Ashby was no longer a simple matter of taking sides. It had become a life-or-death struggle with no room for reconciliation.
The initial plan for today’s battle was for Prince Ashby and Fergus Archer to join forces and launch a surprise attack on Prince Roscoe’s faction. However, no one expected Sean to suddenly appear, wreaking havoc and stealing the show.
In this battle, Prince Roscoe’s faction suffered heavy losses, with only nine out of eighteen Complete Stage elders remaining. Prince Ashby’s side fared even worse, as only eleven out of thirty-two managed to escape with their lives.
Nine people! Eleven people!
The balance of power between Prince Roscoe and Prince Ashby seemed to have returned to a new equilibrium. However, the price paid for this balance was far too great.
Realizing that further violence would be futile, Prince Ashby coldly said, “We’ll see about that!” Then, he turned and left, followed closely by Prince William and Prince Green.
Just as Prince Ashby and his group reached the mansion’s entrance, a sharp sound suddenly filled the air. Prince Ashby’s ears perked up, and he quickly turned around to see a deadly arrow aimed at his head, hurtling towards him at breakneck speed!
Prince Ashby’s pupils contracted sharply, and a look of disdain flashed across his face. Extending his hand, he reached out and caught the arrow mid-flight, just twenty centimeters from his face!
Then, he coldly looked at Prince Roscoe, who was standing in front of the attic. At some point, Prince Roscoe had armed himself with a golden bow and was still in the posture of having fired an arrow.
“Childish!” Prince Ashby glared at Prince Roscoe before flicking the arrow back at him. It embedded itself with a bang in a beam behind Prince Roscoe.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
As a Complete Stage cultivator, Prince Ashby was far more powerful than Prince Roscoe, who was only in the late stage of dark energy. Thus, Prince Roscoe’s arrow posed no threat to him. Yet, Prince Roscoe had still taken the shot!
“Brother!” Prince Roscoe met Prince Ashby’s icy gaze, put away his golden bow, and smiled as he said, “Do you remember the bet we made half a month ago when Mr. Mason first arrived in the capital city?”
“You said that if Mr. Mason didn’t choose you, he would surely die before Julia and Fergus Archer’s wedding in half a month. It seems you’ve lost!”
“In gratitude for your favor and generosity, I shot that first arrow, knowing it was futile and impossible to hit you. Consider it a gift in return. Now, two arrows remain.”
“Be careful in the future. If I accidentally hit you, don’t blame me for not honoring our brotherly bond!”
Though the bet had seemed like a joke at the time, neither Prince Ashby nor Prince Roscoe had ever taken it lightly.
“Don’t worry,” Prince Ashby snorted. “I always keep my word. You want to kill me? Fine. But first, you’ll need the skill to do it!”
With that, Prince Ashby hesitated no longer and strode away with a swish of his sleeve.
In the courtyard, the ground was littered with corpses and severed limbs, and the stench of blood filled the air. After resolving Prince Ashby’s problem, Sean intended to take care of Prince Roscoe’s matter in one fell swoop! Coincidentally, at this moment, Julia, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes and woke up under the emergency treatment of Spirit Wolf.
“Julia? Julia, you’re awake!”
“Thank goodness! Thank heavens, thank you, God!”
“Thank you, young man!”
Tears streamed down Julia’s mother’s face as she sobbed with emotion, grasping Spirit Wolf’s hand in gratitude. Prince Adam hurried over as well.
“Julia! You…”
With a look of guilt on his face, Prince Adam was about to speak when Julia glanced at him with a slightly cold expression, interrupting him, “Father!”
Prince Adam was taken aback. Although Julia had woken up, her body was incredibly weak. She looked at Prince Adam and said softly, “For power and profit, you had me marry Fergus Archer…”
“I don’t blame you! To frame Mr. Mason, you used me… I don’t blame you!”
“From childhood, you have kept me in this large cage, restricting my freedom, controlling my life, treating me as a pawn in your hands, making me do things I don’t like… I don’t blame you either!”
“You! You are my father, who has raised me. I have never defied you to repay your kindness, and I have followed all your arrangements… But! I’m not happy! I’m really not happy!”
Her heartfelt words spoke volumes. As she spoke, tears welled up in Julia’s eyes. She tried hard to control her emotions and hold back her tears. Then, with a slightly choked voice, she continued, “Today, I wanted to die at the hands of Fergus Archer, to exchange my life for yours, as a repayment for your kindness in this life!”
“Unfortunately… I didn’t die. I’m still alive, and Mr. Mason saved me!”
“Living is so tiring… It’s really tiring! I don’t want to live like this anymore, I don’t want to be your daughter anymore, and I don’t want to be locked in this huge cage. I want to live freely like an ordinary woman!”
“So! Please, let me go, let me leave you, let me leave this home, and let me pursue what I want. Can you? Please?”
After she finished speaking, the tears she had been holding back finally broke free, streaming down her pale, haggard, yet beautiful cheeks. Only Julia knew the bitterness in her heart!
Before, Julia had always said that being born into royalty was her fate. Clearly, beneath her delicate appearance, she had an incredibly strong heart. She didn’t want to accept her fate. As she had said before, she would rather die than marry Fergus Archer!
If this is my fate, then I’ll give up my life! This was Julia’s final defiance!
