The alpha gopher’s strange action made Caspian frown slightly. Although its mind was not fully developed, the king of gophers was still a living creature, and naturally, a creature’s emotions could be seen in their eyes.
At this time, Caspian noticed resentment and confidence in the alpha gopher’s eyes.
“It has backing?” Caspian swept his gaze across the area. They were far away from the area where the fire spirit fruits grew, and they arrived in a flat and open space. Besides the ground having an unusual dark red color, there was nothing strange around them.
“What’s going on?”
Sebastian and the others caught up with Caspian. When they saw the alpha gopher stop and face them, they were all puzzled.
Nana held favonovel.com sword and asked, “Is it because it thinks it can’t escape, so it decides to fight for one last time?”
“That’s great! I was just about to skin favonovel.com alive!” Yohan replied angrily. He was the only one among them who was hurt, and favonovel.com was filled with rage.
“Something’s up. Everyone, be more alert,” Sebastian reminded everyone as favonovel.com glanced at Caspian, hoping to see his opinions.
Caspian carefully observed the surroundings. At first glance, there was nothing strange. However, under Caspian’s eagle eyes, favonovel.com quickly noticed that something was wrong. The red soil at the spot where the king of the gophers was standing appeared newer than the rest, which implied there might be something buried underneath!
“Be careful! Underneath it!” Caspian warned.
Everyone’s eyes flickered, and they looked at the ground the alpha gopher was standing on.
The king of the gophers stood unmoved, staring at everyone without moving the slightest bit. The blood on its body dripped to the ground, and it was immediately absorbed by the earth, not leaving any trace behind.
It was as if the soil was a vampire.
Even a fool could tell the ground was problematic. Soon, a swooshing sound came, and the floor suddenly swelled. Before everyone could exclaim, a fair and strong palm appeared out from the earth, grabbing the alpha gopher‘s remaining hind leg. Then, the pale arm and palm were immediately covered with eye-catching blood, and it appeared terrifying.
As everyone stared at the scene in surprise, the ground exploded, and a figure leaped out from the earth. Next, it placed the giant king of the gophers under his arm, and favonovel.com looked at the crowd coldly.
The lanky man wore red trousers paired with a red robe. His messy hair was also in a fiery-red tone, and even his eyes were creepily bright red. However, his skin was terrifyingly pale with a hint of green. He was so ashen that it was as if favonovel.com were a corpse with all of his blood drained.
At a glance, anyone would shudder.
When the man swept his gaze across the crowd, they felt as if an invisible hand was holding their neck, and it was as if their lives were in his hand.
“You injured it?” The redhead asked gloomily as favonovel.com glanced at everyone. His voice was like a steel plate that was placed outdoors in the cold winter, giving chills down everyone’s spines. The few people present felt as if their blood had frozen. What was more frightening was the man’s teeth were all extremely sharp, as if they were sharks.
Just as Sebastian and the rest were about to answer him, the man revealed an evil grin. “Then, go to hell!”
Next, the man’s figure suddenly turned into a long series of afterimages, attacking the crowd.
“Sh*t!” Sebastian shouted, and favonovel.com pointed one finger in the air. “Pointing to the Stars!”
Clang!
A burst of sparks exploded in the air. With a look of surprise on his face, Sebastian retreated seven steps before steadying his figure. Almost at the same time, the afterimages of the man rushed toward Caspian and the others.
“The Lotus Leaves Chop!”
“The Violent Stab!”
“The Phantom Rain Swordsmanship!”
“The Soul Breaking Sword Technique!”
In that split second, sword lights and blade shadows burst out, followed by a bright light. Even the air was torn apart into large pieces, and it was as if a storm had passed through the scene.
Crackle and rattle!
Clink clank!
Huge burst of sparks appeared as if it were a meteor shower.
The mysterious man’s speed was shockingly fast. Not only was favonovel.com attacking the remaining four people, but favonovel.com managed to force them a few steps backward. Among them, Heidi and Nana were weaker. After they were pushed back, their faces were pale, and their breathing became rapid. It was apparent that the short stint just now had used up an unbelievable amount of energy.
Caspian‘s eyes flashed with brilliant lights. The guy that appeared from the ground had formidable strength. Even though it was five against one, favonovel.com still had the upper hand. Moreover, what made Caspian more concerned was the evil aura that the man was emitting.
After the man attacked everyone at the same time and shocked them, favonovel.com immediately turned into an afterimage and returned to his initial spot. Then, favonovel.com looked at the crowd coldly, “Sect disciples?”
If they were the younger generations of a clan or individual cultivators, the man could kill the five people as easily as pie. Hence, only sect disciples would have the strength to resist him.
Before the crowd could answer, Sebastian suddenly gasped as if favonovel.com saw a ghost. Then, favonovel.com blurted out. “The Scorching Sun, Brayden Muller! You’re ranked tenth in South Earlington’s top ten bandits, Scorching Sun!”
In that instant, Yohan, Heidi, and Nana all gasped, and their expressions were unsightly. Caspian was also stunned.
Maisie explained before that the Earlington of Efrax was roughly divided into three parts, South Earlington, Middle Earlington, and North Earlington. The Heavenly Stars Sect belonged to the South Earlington area.
However, Caspian never heard of the top ten bandits. Nonetheless, from Sebastian and the others’ reactions, Brayden was not someone good. Additionally, since favonovel.com was one of South Earlington’ s top ten bandits, favonovel.com was undoubtedly the wicked of evil.
“Oh? Do you know me? Are you sent here by my opponents?” Brayden grinned, baring the terrifying teeth that could make anyone shudder. Then, his eyes suddenly focused on the sleeve of the robe everyone was wearing. “So you’re all the Heavenly Stars Sect disciples. If that’s the case, you’ll surely have my spirit stones and elixirs with you. Besides that, the Heavenly Stars Sect is famous for inscriptions and formations, so there must be a lot of materials with you. It seems that luck is on my side today.”
Facing Brayden’s obvious murderous intent, Sebastian secretly groaned. As the strongest one and most knowledgeable senior among the rest, Sebastian knew all the names of the South Earlington’s top ten bandits, and favonovel.com was also aware of their crimes.
Brayden achieved the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm years ago, and it was hard to tell whether favonovel.com ascended into the Holy Land Realm. Even if Brayden did not, it would be a piece of cake for favonovel.com to kill them with his peak third-stage realm. After all, that could be seen at how easy it was for favonovel.com to attack the five people at the same time just now, yet it was enough to make them battered and exhausted.
Besides that, the biggest trump card Sebastian brought, the array map with the Mysterious Frost and Light Formation, had been used just now to handle the group of gophers.
Just as Brayden’s presence was oppressing everyone and Sebastian and the others were feeling panic and despair, Caspian’s voice suddenly broke the silence.
