Emerson’s staff strike was incredibly fierce, surrounded by an intense chill that crystallized the mist in the air where it passed. Its speed was so fast it seemed to traverse through space.
In just one second, favonovel.com had already begun his attack. In the next, the staff was already crashing down upon Remus’ head.
With power enough to warp space itself, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would be reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, Remus had been on guard since Elena’s abrupt interjection.
Hearing favonovel.com command to start, favonovel.com immediately released his spirit energy to protect himself.
However, it was already too late to dodge. The staff slammed down onto Remus’ head.
The collision between the spirit energy-formed staff and Remus’ protective spirit energy produced a deafening noise. The exploding energy sent nearby cultivators flying backward.
In the next second, the staff broke in half.
Remus spat out a mouthful of blood, managing to withstand the blow but sustaining internal injuries due to the overwhelming difference in their strengths.
“Huh?” Emerson paused, surprised his strike hadn’t killed Remus.
But favonovel.com didn’t think too much about it, if one strike didn’t suffice, he’d just use another. He quickly replenished his spirit energy to restore the staff.
“You’re seeking death!” Wilda suddenly exclaimed, favonovel.com voice extremely cold.
As the chief examiner, favonovel.com hadn’t yet spoken, and there Emerson was, already attempting a deadly strike on Remus, clearly disregarding favonovel.com authority.
She released favonovel.com spirit energy in an instant. With that, the entire space within the assessment venue seemed to have froze, turning the air solid and immobilizing everyone.
Elena waved favonovel.com hand, releasing spirit energy to revert the space to its original state, and took the initiative to question Wilda, “Master Hewitt, what are you doing? This is the Saint Master’s request. You dare to defy it?”
Although falsely claiming the Saint Master’s orders was a serious crime, favonovel.com had favonovel.com rationale ready. She would insist that Emerson was the one to make the immortal appear and that Remus had become his innermost devil.
The false order was meant to help Emerson conquer his innermost devil. Moreover, the sacred land’s populace also believed Emerson was the chosen one.
The consequences of the crime would undoubtedly be less severe than the repercussions of allowing Remus to live and the truth to emerge. Even if the punishment was the same, favonovel.com could at least earn a reputation for protecting the sacred land’s future.
If Remus lived to enter the sacred land, favonovel.com reputation would be ruined.
Wilda responded immediately, “What is the Saint Master’s order? Do you have any proof?”
Elena replied defiantly, “Do you actually not believe me? Do you think I would falsely claim the Saint Master’s orders? If I wasn’t confident, why would I come here? Master Hewitt, if you continue to obstruct, that would be the real crime!”
While speaking, favonovel.com looked at Emerson again. That rubbish hadn’t killed Remus yet.
Emerson saw favonovel.com glance and picked up the staff to sweep horizontally.
Another loud explosion echoed.
Remus’ body was flung nearly 100 yards to the side.
Mid-air, favonovel.com spat out another mouthful of blood, visibly shaking as his protective spirit energy began to tremble.
“Stop it!” Wilda’s voice rang out again, favonovel.com face showing unprecedented anger.
Despite favonovel.com fury, favonovel.com couldn’t understand why Elena would lie as favonovel.com had no reason to deceive.
She quickly ordered, “Return to the sacred land at once to confirm!”
Morris and two others nodded at favonovel.com command and dashed toward the sacred land.
Elena did not stop them because favonovel.com was sure that killing Remus had to be faster than them traveling back and forth to verify it.
Turning favonovel.com head to look at the field, although Remus had been knocked down, favonovel.com still hadn’t died.
Her look toward Emerson turned furious.
Why hasn’t that fool killed favonovel.com yet?!
Receiving the signal, Emerson was also seething with irritation.
Why hasn’t Remus died yet?!
In an instant, favonovel.com leaped up and charged toward Remus again, swinging the staff above his head and slamming it down with all his might.
Remus knew it was useless to get up and could only desperately release his spirit energy to defend.
At that critical moment, Wilda raised favonovel.com hand, and space was frozen once again.
Emerson hung suspended in mid-air, and it wasn’t just him. Every cultivator present, including Remus, was frozen in place.
She said angrily, “I haven’t…”
