Now that Marcus is alone, he doesn't stands no chance, right?" Edward asked no one in particular as they watched the face-off between the two men in the distance.They had no idea what they were talking about.General Wade, whose organs had healed a little, managed to rise to a seated position and say, "Shane Chain might be a half step, but we can't be so sure. I can't explain what I felt from Marcus just now.""You don't have to make excuses for your failure, Wade," Vera said, folding her arms. "Shane is a high-level practitioner.""That's right," one of her sisters agreed. "Who knows? Marcus might even be begging for mercy right now."Meanwhile, on the open field, Shane frowned after hearing Marcus speak."Bow? Who do you think you are? Oh—you're that little Marcus running around. I heard you used to run the mafia in this city long ago, but this is a new age," he said, puffing out his chest. "Take a look around: your practitioners are dead and all that's left is you. Why don't you g

Within seconds, the armed ruffians had all been killed by the maids no one knew were armed and capable of handling firearms. What no one knew was that they were undercover agents who had infiltrated the Sinclair mansion under Evelyn’s instruction.The one who had fired first was Tina, the team leader of the undercover group placed in the manor. She had been waiting for the right moment to act and had not expected Amelia to suddenly take poison. It was her job to keep Amelia alive.Before Marcus could raise his fist, Tina fired two shots accurately into his heart region and he staggered back. The other maids didn't wait a second; they stepped forward, emptying the full magazines of their submachine guns into Marcus.His body dropped backward, flat to the ground with a loud thud, and he lay motionless.Tina quickly rushed to Amelia and checked her temperature, only to realize that she was really cold.“Who are you? I’ve never seen you before…” Edward said, realizing that he didn’t r

"Make sure to get everyone to safety, far from here..." William spoke directly to Tina, and she raised her head to him.She hadn't expected him to give her further instructions instead of a punishment.Just then, several choppers began to appear above the forest, rappelling ropes being let down.Soldiers in heavy gear slid down in large numbers.An ambulance blared toward the manor, and following behind was an endless escort of high-grade military vehicles.This was a scene that could only be seen in a movie.Vera rushed to her confused daughter and embraced her tightly. "Oh my God, Amelia… don't do anything stupid again!"She still couldn't believe that Amelia had intentionally chewed on poison.Edward and Ava also drew closer to confirm that she had fully recovered.But through it all, Amelia had her eyes on William’s figure a short distance away.Why did he feel and look so different from the person she used to know?When the ambulance arrived, ten doctors came running out carrying

The Dragon of the East—the lone cultivator who once terrorized the East with unmatched techniques and seared fear into the hearts of those who spoke his name.No sect or order could stop his rampage several years ago as he tore through branches and divisions just to achieve his goal in the country. He had vanished ever since, and all that was left was his name and those who sought vengeance against him.William didn't say a word, but he was surely surprised that Marcus would have recognized him. The name Marcus hadn't rung any bell in the East and had only come to his ears here in the West recently. There was no way this person knew him from home.Marcus looked out over the burnt expanse of grassland and inhaled deeply. He shut his eyes and said, "I recognized you by your technique just now. Only the Dragon of the East could possibly invoke a spirit dragon capable of wiping out a million men in a blink. There were always rumors of your presence in the West, but now I know it.""Yo

William’s golden eyes narrowed at Marcus who had risen in the center of the crater, but the expression on his face remained indifferent.What other confirmation did he need that Marcus was immortal, just like Emperor Zhao in the ancient texts?As long as his soul was bound to the Forbidden Stone, nothing could completely tear him apart.“Then I shall destroy the stone with you.” William’s expression finally turned darker, and he took a step forward.Destroying the Forbidden Stone was as impossible as killing its holder. At least, the ancient texts say so.There was no holding back anymore, and every ounce of spiritual energy within his being would be put to use.He raised his right hand, and the air around him trembled.Golden lightning began to weave between his fingers, crackling violently as the pressure around him grew unbearable.The dragon tattoo on his back pulsed—the dragon coiling to life.“Heavenly Dragon’s Wrath! Break!”A golden dragon of pure energy erupted from behind h
