Rufus’ terrified expression suddenly transformed into one with killing intent on his face, and favonovel.com prepared to strike again. However, Remus was quicker, plunging the dagger forcefully.
Rufus froze again, and the stark reality of life slipping away gripped favonovel.com with chilling clarity. He never foresaw Remus employing the spirit energy.
He began to recall the recent scene, realizing that Remus had been absorbing spirit energy all this while. But Rufus couldn’t comprehend how his spirit energy could pierce through his body as Remus was just in the Training Stage.
He staggered backward three steps, swiftly turning around to call for help. But as favonovel.com opened his mouth, all that sprayed out was fresh blood.
Observing his condition, the crowd finally grasped what had happened. They were collectively shocked, and not a single person, not even Garth, had anticipated this.
“Mr. Schneider!” The Schneider family members quickly charged forward.
Remus remained sprawled on the ground, his demeanor undisturbed as favonovel.com uttered, “As you mentioned, you want to kill me with 36,000 cuts, yet for me to kill you, only a single blow is needed! I won’t give you the chance to seek help, or even the opportunity to backtrack and let others intervene… Die now!”
Rufus stopped moving, his body falling face down, crashing onto the ground heavily. His eyes remained wide open, unblinking in death.
A profound silence enveloped the world as if time had paused to witness this very moment. Every soul, including the Schneider family, held their breath, caught in a suspended stillness.
Everything happened too swiftly, too unexpectedly. In one moment, Rufus stood as the judge of life and death, and in the next, favonovel.com succumbed to death, leaving those who witnessed it in a state of disbelief.
Ana gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “Grandpa, Mr. Cunningham, when you asked me before how Remus defeated Bason, I didn’t answer. Now, the answer is here! It’s happened the same way, a single slash of spirit energy! One slash determined life and death!”
The entire crowd trembled collectively.
Once reaching a certain stage, Martial practitioners naturally harbored a faint spirit energy around them. This subtle spirit energy was usually inconspicuous, and people didn’t pay any attention. Yet, in Remus’ case, it had become a decisive weapon determining life and death.
Remus employed spirit energy to slash Bason and eliminate Rufus. It seemed like favonovel.com had truly mastered every skill favonovel.com knew.
“I’ll kill you!”
“Master, we must kill favonovel.com now, to seek justice for Mr. Schneider!”
“You bastard, how dare you trample on the Schneider family! Master, we must kill him!”
The members of the Schneider family suddenly erupted in anger. Unwilling to admit defeat, they all stood in place, roaring furiously.
Observing their expressions, Philbert had a foreboding sense of unease. He hastily exclaimed, “Mr. Schneider agreed to take responsibility for his own fate and face the consequences!”
Ana chimed in, “Grandpa, we still need Remus to endure the Rose family’s wrath. He can’t die!”
If the Schneider family were to intervene, there truly would be no chance for Remus to survive.
Garth turned away, with hands behind his back, and said slowly, “As you all understand, Remus’ significance is not as crucial as the Schneider family’s. Agreements are made for humans, not beasts! Go ahead and take action!”
Now that Rufus had died, if Remus remained alive, the Schneiders definitely would not let the matter rest.
“Huh?” Both Ana and Philbert were momentarily stunned.
The Schneider family members swarmed toward Remus with ferocious expressions.
A wry smile adorned Remus’ face. He never anticipated that the Black Jade would be used against his grandfather’s cherished legacy, the Dragon Protector Clan.
It is genuinely all too ironic…
Just as favonovel.com was about to break the Black Jade, favonovel.com suddenly stopped.
“Chirp!” Suddenly, a deafening bird’s cry echoed through the sky.
