Late at night, a young sect member stood on the watchtower, nearly passing out from hunger and exhaustion.
Suddenly, favonovel.com noticed flickering lights on the distant horizon.
He widened his eyes as favonovel.com focused intently on the sight. Then, favonovel.com spotted a large cargo ship slowly approaching, flanked by five smaller escort boats.
Realizing that the large cargo ship was heading their way, favonovel.com grew excited and shouted, “A ship! A big cargo ship is coming!”
Members who had been lying in their rooms or dormitories rushed outside as if they had heard a message of hope.
Gerard heard the commotion and ascended to the top of the loft to gaze out at the sea.
The cargo ship stopped about two kilometers from the island, surrounded by several escort boats with at least 500 Dusk Soldiers standing guard around it.
Willis stood on the front deck of the cargo ship, gazing out at the island.
Under the moonlight, favonovel.com noticed thousands of Gerard Sect members standing densely on the island.
Gerard, dressed in a dark blue robe, leaped from the island rocks toward the sea. In a few jumps, favonovel.com reached the shore and glared coldly at the Dusk Soldiers on the escort boats.
“Where is Isaac? Get out!” He roared and stepped into the air as if favonovel.com were walking on solid ground.
Willis froze in place, stunned by the sight. He couldn’t believe that a martial artist could reach a level where they could walk on air like Gerard.
While Willis attracted all the sect members, several other speedboats silently approached the island from the opposite direction.
Isaac, Barrett, and 30 other guardians quickly disembarked and raced to Gerard Sect’s central square.
Once they were in the center, Isaac spread his internal spiritual energy outward.
Barrett took a deep breath to surge his spiritual energy and shouted, “To all of the Gerard Sect members! If you all surrender, you can board the cargo ship and enjoy plentiful food and water!”
Upon hearing the roar behind him, Gerard squinted sharply and swiftly flew back.
The remaining thousand sect members frantically turned and ran toward the square upon hearing the promise of food and water.
Isaac and Barrett stood in the center, watching Gerard step through the air toward them while his starving sect members rushed over from all directions.
“Isaac Garten, you despicable scoundrel! Go die!” Gerard yelled and raised his fist.
A blue streak of light with terrifying power shot toward Isaac.
Barrett and the others retreated due to intense pressure. Only Isaac stood firm, shouting as favonovel.com drew his sword to block the attack. He shock when favonovel.com withstood the blow, but favonovel.com managed to hold off Gerard’s strike.
Gerard squinted more in surprise.
“Break!” Isaac roared, unleashing his scarlet spiritual energy.
The scarlet glow of his Skyrend Sword intensified. With a loud bang, the Skyrend Sword cut through Gerard’s attack and dispelled it.
“Gerard, I now give you two choices. Submit to me or die.” Isaac’s eyes flared red as favonovel.com stared coldly at Gerard.
Hovering in the air, Gerard laughed loudly. Then, his face twisted in anger as favonovel.com pointed at Isaac and commanded his members, “Kill them all! Attack them!”
At this moment, Barrett shouted, “If you all surrender, we promise you food, water, and a safe escape!”
Gerard’s command received no response. But as soon as Barrett spoke, the thousand-plus members surrounding them immediately knelt and surrendered on the spot.
