Chapter 1223
With Bennett Caden joining the fray, there were now four eighth–rank martial artists fighting against the Spirit Turtle—Thomas Caden, Simon Cabral, Winston Blithe, and Bennett himself. Each of them stood at a corner and performed their own signature martial art skill. Four beams of True Energy struck the Spirit Turtle.
However, the Spirit Turtle’s shell was impenetrable. Even eighth–rank martial artists could not even make a dent.
Rumble!
Powerful waves of True Energy swept the surroundings, and the nearby mountains disintegrated
Below, many lay dead. Some weaker martial artists were already dead, whereas some stronger ones were injured. Essentially, everyone below the third rank was fleeing for their lives.
Watching the fierce battle in the sky, James‘ face darkened.
He had gone to great lengths to exterminate the Gu Sect, but he never thought that his grandfather, Thomas, would be the mastermind behind the scenes. He even gathered all the martial artists here at the Mount Thunder Conference to slay the Spirit Turtle and attain immortality.
For the first time, he was suspicious of his grandfather’s motives. He could no longer comprehend what kind of person his grandfather was.
After Callan was sent flying, he immediately regulated his breath to stabilize his injuries. Seeing that many had joined the fray, Callan wished to be the first to obtain the Spirit Turtle’s blood. He leaped into the air and joined the battle once more. However, this time, he did not use all of his strength. After all, he was severely injured. If he overexerted himself, the consequences would be dire.
Lucjan furrowed his eyebrows as he observed the situation. Seeing that many more had begun joining the fray, he leaped into action too.
Then, many others joined the battle. They were not eighth–rank martial artists, but instead peak seventh–rank.
Powerful True Energy reverberated throughout Mount Thunder Sect. Even James could feel a shiver down his spine.
“Ah…”
As James watched the chaos unfold, he could not help but exclaim.
Then, he spotted Maxine being struck by the waves from afar. She collapsed to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood, which reddened her white clothes. Though she tried to get up, the waves of True Energy were too powerful. The moment she stood up, the earth rumbled, and she staggered and fell once more.
James swiftly ran over to her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the region. After leaving the area, he put her down.
“What the hell? Why didn’t you leave?” he questioned her.
Now, the opportunity to attain immortality lay before them.
“I will help you!” said a voice.
Then, an elderly man appeared. It was Winston Blithe, Grand Patriarch of the Blithes.
Judging by how the battle between Callan, Thomas, Simon, and the Spirit Turtle went, Winston knew that the Spirit Turtle was strong. Immediately, he used the Blithe Fist of Abomination, the signature
martial art skill of the Blithes.
Below, Bennett Caden was observing the battle.
“So this is the secret of the four paintings. To think that Thomas managed to gather them and unravel the secret behind them. Immortality… What an alluring prospect…”
No one was unafraid of death, even Bennett.
Now, the secret to attaining immortality lay before him.
With Winston joining the battle, Bennett leaped into the air and joined the battle too.
At the Johnstons…
Yaakov Johnston was retreating with the disciples of the Johnstons.
After leaving the Mount Thunder Sect, he watched the fierce battle which was happening in the air.
“Immortality…”
His face darkened.
“I have to obtain the Spirit Turtle’s blood. Leave this place at once.”
After giving his instructions, he soared to the sky and made haste toward the battle. He also wanted to slay the Spirit Turtle and be the first to consume its blood.
