Chapter 235: Ambushing a Spiritual King

Chapter 235: Ambushing a Spiritual King

As soon as the barrier collapsed, a sound of breaking glass could be heard in that area, instantly reducing the thin barrier that had remained only seconds ago to dust.

When the defensive array of that base finally stopped working, all those people who were outside that place were already properly prepared to invade that property while they had satisfied expressions.

What had just happened in front of them was something incredible, a chance they did not want to miss!

They could fight for the miraculous item that could cure loss of vitality without having to wait for reinforcements from their families!

This could significantly enhance each one's merit, which would help them to improve their respective positions within the powers they were part of!

And obviously, many of these people were impressed by the prowess demonstrated by Minos in destroying that barrier. They felt he was no weaker than a Spiritual King. Still, even though that was impressive, at present, none of them had much time to continue questioning the young Stuart's origins.

They would undoubtedly try to find that out later, but not right now. At this moment, the focus was on the Spring of Life, the item they wanted so badly.

Then, shortly after the barrier collapsed, the first to move was Kevin's pursuers, among them, of course, Vivian.

Vivian was very impressed with Minos' strength, but not only that, she felt there was something unusual about him, something that reminded her of a conversation she had with her younger brother, Davy...

As she moved to jump over the high walls of that base, Vivian, who had her bodyguard running beside her, said to him doubtfully. "Uncle Samuel, don't you think that skill that guy used was a little similar to what Davy told us? About that guy who participated in the Spiritual Tournament?"

"Ehh? I hadn't thought of it, but it looks like it's really similar... Do you think he's that young man?"

"No, it would be impossible! He could barely fight level 44, Spiritual Generals, a few months ago. Such an improvement would be impracticable!" She said without even considering such a possibility.

Such a thing was genuinely reasonable to think about this. Minos was only a level 39 cultivator at the end of the Spiritual Tournament.

As far as Vivian knew, he had not gone to any sect in the empire.

And, as one might expect, none of those, who were aware that Minos had opted not to go to the empire, assumed that he did so because he believed he would be better off here, in the northern part of the Central Continent.

There was not a single person who considered this possibility.

To them, Minos was probably not someone with great ambitions. Maybe he would be content just to be a leader in this region in the future. And that made sense since he would undoubtedly be incomparable when he reached the 6th stage of cultivation, and he could live quietly around here.

So, like the others who knew Minos had not gone to the Flaming Empire, Vivian would not think this young man would be better off staying here...

With that, for the time that has passed since the Spiritual Tournament, he should be at most at level 41 if he had a Silver-grade cultivation technique!

Consequently, Vivian did not think it would be possible for the young Stuart to cultivate so quickly in the time that had passed. At the same time, his fighting prowess was not that great before, which made things even harder to believe.

She then finished before finally entering that property. "He's probably a member of the same family as that guy... But let's forget about this for now."

Such a thought would not be unusual either. Members of the same family generally shared the same techniques, especially those that were better ranked. There were not many good classification techniques in this region, so there were not many options within the families in this part of the continent either.

Consequently, the best techniques were generally learned by most members of these families!

Finally, the group of pursuers was inside that place, simultaneously, in which the almost 60 traveling companions of Minos climbed those walls.

Minos and the two women of the Miller family were side by side, at this point, when the young Stuart finally warned them of something before the fight started. "You two, if you can, don't let any of the Chambers family escape this place. I don't want to have to start a chase because of a few individuals... Is that okay with you?"

"Hmm, leave it to us. We'll keep an eye out for possible escapes!" Abby commented excitedly, making a gesture with her left fist.

Right then, Eda looked at Minos for a moment and then said. "What do you intend to do?"

"Hehehe, I'm going to ambush a Spiritual King... But I better not go into details. Otherwise, the surprise will be spoiled." He said in a relaxed way as he walked down the wall of that property.

He then moved away from the two, using his movement technique while approaching that Spiritual King, already releasing his technique, Spatial Sword!

Minos wanted that person to know that he was responsible for destroying that defensive barrier so that he would lock him in as a target. That was the young Stuart's objective: to serve as bait for this Spiritual King of the Chambers family and have his adversary suffer the consequences of Emlyn's surprise move!

...

Meanwhile, on the Chambers family guards' side, they were already placed in their assigned positions inside that base as they watched their adversaries approach, jumping over that wall one by one.

The barrier had just been destroyed, and at that moment, the more than 60 guards who were at this base eagerly awaited the coming battle. They felt humiliated at being attacked at their own post, something that had never happened in thousands of years of the existence of the Chambers family!

At the same time, with the various guards in that place holding their weapons tightly, waiting for the fight to start, Jamie was probing the forces of those opponents, searching for the Spiritual King who had destroyed the defensive array.

He could feel that each of those people who entered this place was full of energy, so that could only mean they had not destroyed the barrier together!

That is, there was someone in the enemy group who could destroy something that only someone above level 50 could!

"Where are you?" He wondered as he tried to find the energetic fluctuations that Spiritual Kings released.

...

Meanwhile, Kevin was not far from Jamie, grinding his teeth in anger at these people. He could see the many faces he had encountered during the days of travel between Hadia and here.

Once again, they had 'broken' the good mood of the young man of the Chambers family.

'That bitch is here! This time if I don't destroy her, I won't be able to calm my anger!' He thought about it as he looked in the direction that Vivian had just entered this base.

...

Anyway, after a few more moments, Jamie slowly began to feel a force almost as strong as his, rapidly approaching him!

"I found you!" He muttered, just as he felt the force released by the Spatial Sword, which Minos had purposely activated earlier.

At that point, the two sides were about to face each other when Jamie looked at the individual in the black cloak and mask in disbelief. He felt perplexed right now, not understanding how this person could be the one who had just released such suppressive power!

Minos' technique had not restrained him until he could not move, but Jamie could feel a restriction over his body that tried to keep him from moving. But he could hardly believe such a thing was being generated by someone only at level 42!

"How can this be?" He muttered, looking steadily at Minos.

But instead of starting to battle right away, Jamie suddenly asked. "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

"You do not know? I warned you that I would smash this place if my demands weren't met. I'm just keeping my promise!" Minos said solemnly.

Jamie then glared at the young Stuart as he clenched his fists and started to release his cultivation power. "You smashing us? I don't know how you can be so strong at your level, but you need a lot more strength than that to destroy us!"

At that moment, right after he finished saying that, Jamie jumped towards Minos, as he started to activate his spiritual techniques, ready to have a serious fight with this enemy!
