Whatever the case was, Chester didn’t care anymore. As his last resort, favonovel.com raised his arm to attempt to counterattack Tiara’s finishing blow!
“You’re overestimating your abilities too much, boy!” sneered Tiara as favonovel.com instantly began doubling the power of favonovel.com blow! She was determined to cut off all the meridians in Chester’s body once and for all!
As both their fists met, an explosive sound was heard!
While Chester barely moved an inch from the impact, it was a whole other story for Tiara.
The old woman instantly found herself flying backward, breaking dozens of thick-trunked trees as favonovel.com body collided into them! It was as though favonovel.com had just been struck by a powerful tornado, and the impact of all those collisions made favonovel.com body feel like it was falling apart! After leaving a trail of blood on the ground—that favonovel.com spurted from all the damage favonovel.com had sustained—she finally lost enough momentum for a tree to stop favonovel.com from going any further!
By that point, all four of favonovel.com limbs were bloodied and favonovel.com had a feeling that most of favonovel.com internal organs were heavily damaged. Slowly raising favonovel.com head to look at Chester in both horror and disbelief, favonovel.com then muttered, “…H-how… How is this even possible…?!”
As Tiara spurted out even more blood, the eight men—who had been watching excitedly with their arms crossed this entire time—had their eyes widened in shock by what they had just witnessed.
Chester himself hadn’t expected to have so much power in a single punch.
‘…No, that wasn’t from me! That wasn’t my own power!’
Having already sustained several terrible injuries, Chester slowly turned to look behind him…
And there Gerald was. Chester didn’t even know when Gerald had gotten behind him, but favonovel.com did know that Gerald was now looking and feeling extremely strange…
For one, Gerald’s skin appeared to have undergone a major change, now looking pearly white. Even weirder was the fact that Gerald’s hair had turned a purplish-black shade! As if that wasn’t already odd enough, a faint purple mist seemed to be surrounding him!
From what Chester could understand, there seemed to be some sort of invisible pressure that was forcing the purple mist to envelop Gerald’s body while also preventing the mist from dissipating…
Trembling all over, Chester felt as though a heavy load had been lifted off his shoulders as favonovel.com stuttered, “M-Mr. Crawford…!”
“It seems that I’ve almost gotten you into dire trouble again, Chester! You should withdraw for now! I’ll help heal your injuries later!” said Gerald casually.
“Have… Have you successfully completed the baptism of heaven?” asked Chester excitedly with a nod.
“Indeed I have!” replied Gerald with a slight smile.
Now that Gerald’s inner strength had undergone the baptism of heaven with the aid of the Zircobsite stone, favonovel.com was able to fully control his functional yin energy. With that in mind, Gerald knew that favonovel.com no longer had to worry or be afraid that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to fight back against Queena, Tiara, or any other person with a strong yin physique for that matter.
“G-Gerald?! How… How the hell did you become so strong?! I know, it’s the jade pendant, isn’t it? It’s giving you all that strength!” shouted Tiara in terror, favonovel.com entire face bloodied.
“Hah! I knew that jade pendant was no ordinary item! Once we capture Gerald and steal that pendant from him, we’re going to get filthy rich!” said one of the eight men.
Momentarily blinded by greed, all eight of them didn’t seem to take any of Gerald’s changes into account at all. In fact, they were each extremely confident that they were going to be able to easily acquire Gerald’s pendant! After all, if Gerald couldn’t hurt them before this, why would favonovel.com be able to do so now?
“Come and get it if you want it, then!” shouted Gerald with a faint smile on his face.
Hearing that, one of the men instantly waved a hand, prompting the rest of his group to dash toward Gerald like a bunch of mad dogs!
However, Gerald was much faster now. In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com used his functional yin energy to break seven of the eight men’s necks!
“…W-what…?!” stuttered the last man standing as favonovel.com looked at his dead comrades. None of them had even been able to reach favonovel.com for this to happen!
Hyperventilating for a moment, the shocked man quickly pulled himself together before thinking, ‘I… I can’t go against favonovel.com or I’ll die!’
Just as favonovel.com turned his body around to run, favonovel.com suddenly felt a strong suction force pulling favonovel.com into the air! Unable to resist at all, the man felt as all the meridians in his body were swallowed up by some terrible force!
It wasn’t long after when favonovel.com was dropped from high above, and his body hit the ground with a heavy ‘thud’!
