Even if favonovel.com did hand the things over to James, there was no guarantee that favonovel.com would be spared.
Thomas who was disguised as Ezekiel looked at Lucjan and said, “You don’t have a choice. Haven’t you witnessed James’ strength? Not even Tobias who absorbed the power of so many martial artists stood a chance against him. Do you seriously think the three of us combined can defeat him?”
The First Blood Emperor’s expression turned grim. He knew about James’ strength. He just could not figure out how favonovel.com managed to restore his strength in such a short amount of time.
“How did favonovel.com manage to regain his strength…?”
Rumble!
A fierce battle raged on outside the cavern.
“I’ll fight to the bitter end.” Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand, Lucjan charged out.
Upon seeing this, the First Blood Emperor tried following along.
However, Ezekiel stopped favonovel.com in time and said, “Do you have a death wish?”
“What should we do, then?” The First Blood Emperor asked.
After brief contemplation, Ezekiel said, “Lucjan will never hand over the Primordial Sword and Crucifier. Though favonovel.com believes himself to be invincible, he’s actually weaker than James. Let favonovel.com struggle in vain while we seize the opportunity and flee…”
Huh?
The First Blood Emperor was hesitant.
Then, favonovel.com looked at Ezekiel and said, “Won’t our plans be foiled if favonovel.com dies?”
Ezekiel smiled and said, “Once he’s dead, the Blood Race will dominate the world unopposed. You, on the other hand, will be the most powerful individual in the world…”
The First Blood Emperor looked at Ezekiel with suspicion in his eyes. He could not trust Ezekiel entirely. However, there was no other choice but for favonovel.com to leave. That was because James was so terrifying that his blood would run cold upon seeing him.
“Let’s get moving…” After some contemplation, the First Blood Emperor chose to make his escape.
Meanwhile, Lucjan rushed out with the Blade of Justice in hand. Upon realizing that Ezekiel and the First Blood Emperor were not behind him, favonovel.com froze.
The three of them stood a chance against James if they worked together. Now, alone, favonovel.com believed it was impossible for favonovel.com to defeat James, let alone kill him.
“Damn it!” He cursed.
Then, favonovel.com chased after Ezekiel and the First Blood Emperor and made his escape.
***
Outside…
James was fighting against the disciples of the Gu Sect. Although they were powerful, they did not stand a chance against James. Even without the Blade of Justice, favonovel.com still defeated them with ease.
James pressed forward, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. However, even upon arriving at the mountain, there was still no trace of Lucjan and the others.
He was puzzled.
Swoosh!
Just as favonovel.com was at a loss, Callan appeared.
Immediately, favonovel.com said, “Lucjan didn’t even show himself despite all the commotion. He must have been afraid of you and fled. You should try finding the escape path favonovel.com took. I’ll remain and save the prisoners.”
“Got it!” James nodded and rushed into the cavern.
Upon entering the cavern, many disciples of the Gu Sect brandished their weapons and charged toward him. A terrifying aura erupted from within James’ body and sent them flying. Then, they crashed against the wall and collapsed to the ground.
James randomly grabbed one of the disciples and interrogated favonovel.com coldly, “Where’s Lucjan?”
“I-I don’t know…”
Upon hearing this, James immediately slapped favonovel.com dead.
Then, favonovel.com walked over to another disciple and interrogated coldly, “Where’s Lucjan?”
“I don’t know…”
The Gu Sect was a loyal bunch. Even when faced with death, they did not betray Lucjan.
“I-I know…” At that moment, a voice came from behind.
James turned his head.
A middle-aged man naked from the waist up walked over to favonovel.com and pointed at the depths of the cavern, saying. “There’s another exit in that direction. It leads straight to the back of the mountain.”
Upon hearing this, James immediately gave chase.
