Philip stared wide-eyed as Remus charged toward him. Every hair on his body stood on end, and his body uncontrollably trembled.
He remained perplexed, unable to come to terms with the fact that Remus was merely a Martial Imperial but could still overpower him.
Philip had only unleashed two punches in total, both directed at the sea dragon. It could be stated that Philip could not retaliate in the presence of Remus.
Generally, a Supreme Martial Imperial could take on ten Martial Imperials. Philip, on the other hand, held a ranking of at least 58th among the Ancient Martial Rankings worldwide. He genuinely couldn’t understand why favonovel.com had suffered such a humiliating defeat.
“I surrender!” Philip blurted out and immediately repeated, “I surrender!”
Suddenly, the scene experienced a whirlwind of change.
All the cultivators, led by Husan, had their eyes enlarged with expressions of joy.
All the martial artists, under the leadership of three Supreme Martial Imperials, had eyes enlarged with shock.
It was beyond anyone’s anticipation that a Martial Imperial could compel a Supreme Martial Imperial to surrender.
Remus landed in front of Philip, grabbed his neck, and uttered in a frigid tone, “You’ve made a very wise decision!”
As his words fell, favonovel.com lifted Philip into the air and ascended, facing all the martial artists. His voice was indifferent as favonovel.com said, “Surrender or die!”
Like a dark incantation, his words haunted the minds of all the martial artists, leading the three Supreme Martial Imperials to share a meaningful glance.
“We surrender!” All the martial artists retracted their energies, standing suspended in mid-air.
“How?” Philip’s eyes remained filled with surprise. Despite being held by the neck, favonovel.com pressed, “How are you so formidable? Even the exceptional prodigies from the Dragon Protector Clan and the Rose family couldn’t make me fall with the strength of a Martial Imperial in just a few moves…”
In this world, there were plenty of prodigies, and those daring to undertake challenges beyond their levels were not rare. Glinda was one of them. However, achieving victory in just a few moves during a cross-tier challenge was unprecedented.
It wasn’t just favonovel.com who wanted to know, but everyone was eager to find out. The strength Remus displayed could no longer be described as that of a “prodigy”, it was downright terrifying.
Remus calmly stated, “I live for myself, while you’re a mere worker of the Rose family!”
“That’s not right!” Philip retorted, recognizing that that alone couldn’t make up for the gap.
Remus added, “Every strike I make is a gamble with my life, a risk you wouldn’t take!”
“That’s not entirely accurate!” Philip reiterated, admitting it could fill the gap, but not entirely.
Remus continued, “You’ve got an escape route, but I’m left with none!”
Philip fell into contemplative silence, recognizing that was the pivotal issue. He could have let Remus go, and favonovel.com would have still survived. But if Remus hadn’t fought with all his might, favonovel.com would have died.
Philip fell into a moment of silence before saying, “I won’t apprehend you. Let today’s incidents be cast aside!”
He admitted their defeat. He never expected that the ants from Ironpeak Island would dare stake their lives for Remus. If it weren’t for these cultivators, they could have easily killed Remus with his strength combined with the other four Supreme Martial Imperials.
Remus finally turned to face favonovel.com and asked, “Do you know what is the essence of my practice?”
Philip harbored a foreboding feeling within as favonovel.com asked, “What?”
“Killing intent!” Remus blurted out, and in the same breath, favonovel.com forcefully snapped Philip’s neck.
The sound of the neck-snapping wasn’t loud, yet it echoed vividly in everyone’s ears, akin to the call of death, sending shivers down every spine.
Philip, in particular, had eyes so wide they seemed on the brink of popping out. He couldn’t understand why Remus didn’t speak up earlier.
If Remus meant to kill me, why bring up surrender?
Remus’ actions were escalating to a complete falling-out with the Rose family. He was determined not to relent until death.
Remus swung heavily, sending Philip’s body crashing into the depths of the sea.
He stiffly faced forward and commanded, “Kill them all! Leave no one alive!”
After saying so, favonovel.com took the initiative and charged toward the three Supreme Martial Imperials ahead.
The three Supreme Martial Imperials watched in despair as Philip fell, losing all desire to fight. As Remus had indicated, they were mere employees of the Rose family, with no reason to risk their lives in this conflict.
Moreover, Remus’ intimidating killing intent was too frightening, forcing them to swiftly turn around and flee.
