Ch. 1051..1060
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1051
The mohawk guy was dead!
For a moment, the entire place was deadly silent. The members from Missouri’s Divine Constabulary were stunned, speechless.
How could it be possible that this was a civilian elder?
This was clearly an unfathomable martial arts master!
“And you!” Alex said, and the young man who had smashed into Alex with the iron rod looked like a frightened deer when he saw the mohawk guy’s neck being snapped. He had already guessed that he would be Alex’s next target, so as soon as Alex said those words, he retreated abruptly.
However, Alex was faster. In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind the man.
Alex grabbed the man’s neck and dragged him back to where he had been standing moments ago in an instant. “You hit me twice, so you’re also sentenced to death! Do you have any objections?”
The young man trembled all over. The neck that Alex was holding felt like a reaper holding onto his soul. His entire body felt cold, and it felt like death’s door was right in front of him.
He shouted loudly, “Master Jones, save me! Master Jones, save me!”
A gun was pointed at Alex’s heart from behind.
The one holding the gun was a blond haired man with blue eyes, and he had very unique characteristics. He could be said to be handsome and tall and was a standard male protagonist in many female American drama fans’ eyes. If he went for a walk on a university campus during the night, he would surely attract a lot of girls’ attention.
There was a smile upon his face as he pushed the gun upward in his hand and said in lousy English, “Mister, my gun has some objections. What do I do?”
Because Alex had moved too fast in chasing that group of people, Anna and the others only discovered that Alex was threatened by a gun only after the blonde haired man had finished talking.
Looking at the style of the gun, the firepower of the bullet was definitely not the small caliber type. If it was shot through his heart from the back, even a martial arts master wouldn’t be able to withstand it, right?
Anna yelped, her face full of panic.
She wanted to rush up and help, but she was well aware that her strength wasn’t enough to go against the people from Amaryllis Tower. To put it bluntly, she only came to serve as a foil, and she was the one who was the civilian official.
However, when Gideon saw this, he seemed to be stimulated by something and blurted curses, “What the hell are you pretending for? What’s the point in killing some small farts? You can hide your cultivation base, and then you can just take out Joshua directly! There’s still a chance to come back, and it’s now! Just go and pretend to be dead, you pig headed idiot!”
His mood was fluctuating, and it kind of seemed like it was about to explode. That was what had caused the explosive reaction he just had.
Travis glanced at him, looking disappointed.
His will was so weak, if Travis had known from the beginning that Gideon would be so weak willed, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed to let him join Missouri’s Divine Constabulary that he was in charge of. It was an embarrassment to him.
Alex seemed to completely ignore the existence of the handsome blonde man behind him, as well as the gun pointed at his back.
He was still grasping the neck of the man.
“Since there are no objections, then let’s get on with it!”
Alex raised his hand. His palm slammed down upon the guy’s head.
Dead!
Everyone was stunned. Including Anna.
At this time, he still dare to kill someone? Was he really not afraid of death?
The blonde haired man was startled and froze for a moment before flying into a rage, “Fark, you’re really looking to die!”
In the next moment, the blonde man pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang… Bang!
Six consecutive shots.
When Anna heard the shots, her mind went blank.
Was be dead?!
If Alex was dead, his death was not worth it!
Unknowingly, two trails of tears flowed from her eyes.
Cling, clang, cling!
Rattle, rattle…
The sounds of strange objects rolling on the Amaryllis Tower’s floor echoed, cutting through the dead quiet air.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1052
“W-What is it?”
Someone looked down at the expensive tiles and found that it was a golden bullet.
The man was dumbfounded and said, “Why… How is there a bullet here? Shouldn’t it have penetrated his body?”
When he heard these words, the blonde foreigner, who had thought he had won for sure and that he had killed Alex, felt his heart slam heavily in his chest. He realized that something was not right and was about to retreat from where he stood.
However, he found that he couldn’t because Alex had grabbed his wrist without him knowing. The six bullets had failed to penetrate his body.
Everyone present was out of their mind.
Was this person’s body made of steel?
Was he the Terminator?
How could they know about the Mystic Armor, which was practically an invincible technique in the world?
The blonde man had dug his own grave, after all. If he had shot all six bullets the moment he pointed the muzzle against Alex, then no matter how abnormal his defenses were, Alex wouldn’t have been able to do anything against it.
However, he had given Alex too much time.
During this time, he could activate his Mystic armor and build up sufficient defense to cover the back of his heart.
As he was also afraid of death, he had built up at least a hundred layers.
And that was the effect that could be seen right now. Alex exerted just a little pressure, and the blonde man immediately felt like a machine had clamped down his wrist. He howled, “Impossible, this is impossible! Let me go, ah! My hand is going to break…”
Crack!
The handsome man’s wrist was completely broken. Even the flesh on his arm had been twisted open.
With a ‘clang’, the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
“Go to hell!”
Boom!
Alex’s face was hard and cold as he spat out the words before lifting his leg to kick the blonde man into the air.
After a loud ‘boom’ was heard, everyone else saw the man’s body smashing into the wall, killing him instantly. Three people had been killed consecutively.
Even bullets couldn’t kill him. Everyone present was still shocked.
Joshua’s face darkened. “I didn’t expect that the Divine Constabulary would have found a young, interesting talent like you. No wonder you dare to kick the doors of my Amaryllis Tower! But, you’re still too young, and that’s why you’re rash and impulsive. Having just some achievements under your belt, and you’re looking down on…”
“Are you done?”
Alex didn’t want to listen to the nonsense the man was spouting. There was a murderous intent flowing from inside his heart. That was because two employees of his company had been killed.
Most importantly, Nicholas had almost died.
Nicholas was his brother in all but blood. If he really had died, he didn’t know how he would be able to face Chloe or even Nicholas’ parents and siblings. So, this debt, he needed to claim it for Nicholas’ sake.
“Master Jones, right? Let me ask you, where is Stephen Hendrix?”
Joshua, “???”
People from the Divine Constabulary, “???”
Travis and the others were confused; who the heck was Stephen Hendrix? Why would Alex suddenly bring up that name? Didn’t he come to save Stacey?
Alex continued, “Also, who was the one who killed the two employees in Lush Cosmetics? Who was the one who gravely injured my brother? Hand them all over. Otherwise, I’ll bring down Amaryllis Tower today.”
Joshua finally came back to his senses and said, “You… You’re actually here because of Lush Cosmetics? Who the heck are you?”
“I’m someone who you can’t afford to offend.”
“No matter who you are, I, Joshua Jones, will kill you!”
Joshua was finally angry. This guy had actually kicked in the doors of his tower because of a small business like Lush Cosmetics, killed three of his men, and now he wanted to tear down Amaryllis Tower?!
If he didn’t teach him a good lesson, he wouldn’t rest. This was because this was Amaryllis Tower.
“Boy, I’ve tolerated you long enough. You’ve managed to offend even me, now, die!”
All the cultivation and martial arts skills that he had as an Earth rank warrior exploded. His entire inner strength gathered in his fist, and he lashed out with a punch, his energy exploding outward, throwing the several people around him backward. The power he had unleashed was powerful and terrifying.
Someone scrambled, “Master Jones has gotten serious. This is his famous stunt, Fury Dragon Fist! It’s said that it could even blow up a car with one punch!”
As for Alex, he merely raised his hand, receiving the hit lightly.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1053
Slap!
Alex blocked Joshua’s Fury Dragon Fist with just a single hand.
“What?!”
“He managed to block it so easily?”
“What in the world is his strength level? Could he be a Grandmaster?”
The few who stood at the side watched the bizarre scene unfold in front of them and were all dumbfounded. Especially Travis, who had broken three ribs previously from a single kick from Joshua. He had really experienced just how strong Joshua could be as an advanced Earth rank warrior personally, right down to his bones. Right now, Joshua seemed like a weak chicken in front of Alex.
The difference between them was just too huge!
That scumbag Sky, where the hell did he find just a psycho?
Joshua’s eyes widened. It was also bloodshot.
Roar!
“I don’t believe you caught it! Fury Dragon Ascend!”
In the next moment, Joshua’s eyes widened, stunned as he watched what happened in front of him.
Alex returned the blow, launching a punch.
The moves and appearance were the same as Fury Dragon Fist, which he had just displayed.
Fury Dragon Fist against Fury Dragon Ascend!
Someone exclaimed again, “What’s going on? Why is his punch the same as what Master Jones had just used? Is he also using Fury Dragon Fist? Could he and Master Jones be from the same branch?”
Everyone present couldn’t comprehend the situation. Except for Anna, who had been watching silently from the sidelines.
She could fully understand Joshua’s feelings at the moment. Alex had practically stolen their family technique, Dragon-Tusk Punch, and improved it based on the foundations, after all!
When she recalled how Alex had learned Dragon-Tusk Punch sneakily and even defeated her with that pirated technique, that feeling… She was so pissed she almost coughed up blood from all the rage she felt.
She couldn’t sleep for three days after that.
Boom!
The two fists collided.
Everyone around them was pushed backward by several meters once again. There were now two large pits on the expensive wooden floor under their feet, and even the statue underneath the ground was broken.
The surrounding furniture had also suffered serious damage.
Simultaneously, many people from Amaryllis Tower and some members who had come to participate in the underground black-boxing gambling game saw this battle and started to come nearer to watch. Those who were bolder stood with Travis and the others.
Those who were not as courageous, when they saw more people gathering around, they too started to inch closer.
Soon, the place was packed like sardines. Finger pointing and discussions inevitably started, too.
For example, someone had recognized Joshua and exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t that Master Jones? He has made an appearance personally. He’s the more capable person here in Amaryllis Tower… Who is that young man? Some green horned? He dares even to provoke Master Jones?”
“Fool, don’t talk nonsense. It’s obvious to see that Master Jones is the one with the disadvantage.”
“This fight is even more intense and exciting than the underground black-boxing. Come on, I’ll open a betting pool. Those who bet on Master Jones winning, you’ll get five times the amount you bet, and for those who bet on that young man winning, you’ll get one and half times. Any bets?”
There was a cold, hard look on Joshua’s face, and he felt frustrated on the inside.
He had already used Fury Dragon First three times in such a short period. Why was it so fast? Fury Dragon Fist only had three moves, and Alex had stolen them all. When that trash had used the second technique, he had added something else to the mix.
After Alex had learned it, he immediately lost interest. “So, it turns out that there are only three moves in Fury Dragon Fist. I’m bored of it. Let’s end it here!”
“Let me show you my improved Fury Dragon Ascend!”
Alex threw a punch.
His blow was earth-shattering, seemingly able to topple mountains and overturn the seas.
The domineering aura instantly locked onto Joshua, like the waves rushing up toward the skies and the rush of a hurricane. With a roar, Joshua flew away like a cannonball being shot from a cannon. The people who stood behind him, which included at least dozens of spectators, were all affected by this punch.
Someone fell and was bruised all over, even getting a swollen face. Someone else fell and broke their arm.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1054
Someone even instantly fainted.
There was a loud bang, and a hole appeared in one of the walls of Amaryllis Tower.
It stunned several pedestrians outside.
“Bleurgh…” Joshua coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Alex had defeated him with his own technique. He had spat this mouthful of blood because of how depressed he was feeling. Alex had shown him mercy in the end because he wanted to ask Joshua the whereabouts of some people.
“Where is Stephen Hendrix?” Alex gave the fallen Joshua a contemptuous look from where he was standing. “Who was the one who instructed you to kidnap Stephen?”
Among the lively crowd, a fat man was standing in the corner. His face was pale as a paper, and even his legs were trembling. This fat man was the boss of the product, Brilliant Ice Scar Removal Cream, Franky Lee.
Franky had gotten people to investigate Lush Cosmetics before this and found that the legal representative was someone named Maya Howards. She was an unknown young woman, and the employees she had in the factory didn’t seem like a large number.
Compared to their Brilliant Ice, they were practically ants to their elephant.
In other words, they seemed like an easy party to bully. However, they had extremely good prospects. Previously, he had been forced to sign an agreement to sell 90% of the company’s shares to Joshua at the price of one dollar under Joshua’s pressure, and Joshua would give up the rights to make decisions.
This made Franky’s heart bleed.
However, now, he had seen a person storming into Amaryllis Tower directly for Lush Cosmetics’ sake, and not only had he killed three of Joshua’s subordinates, but he had also even made Joshua cough up blood and be unable to stand. He felt like his world was about to crumble.
If he couldn’t even stand up to Joshua, how would he dare to do it to someone who dared to smash into Amaryllis Tower like this?!
This guy was a god of destruction!
“Master Jones, you may not know me very well. I don’t like to repeat the same question twice,” Alex said calmly. He stretched out his hand gently, and the iron Sledgehammer that was five meters away flew to his hands with a ‘woosh’.
Gideon and the others shivered violently from seeing that.
If they hadn’t seen it previously, they had seen it clearly now!
Extending his inner strength outward and transforming Chi into something tangible was the sign of a Grandmaster!
Travis asked Anna with some difficulty, “Anna, who in the world is be? How could Sky get someone like him as a subordinate?”
Anna gave him a proud and coy glance. “Didn’t you guys say you want to meet Master Alex, otherwise, your life will be in vain? Now, you’ve met him!”
“Huh?”
“H-He… He’s the one who killed the Missouri’s Coleman family and the Coleman family’s Grandmaster?!”
Travis, Jamie, and everyone else looked at Gideon after they had recovered from their shock. This guy was feeling regret down to his bones. He had insulted and mocked a Grandmaster!
No one could insult a Grandmaster. That was a deathly offense!
At this moment, Alex had raised the Sledgehammer high in the air.
“I ’m giving you three seconds, if you don’t tell, the hammer will fall, and your brain will be gone.”
Everyone watching shuddered.
If such a big hammer were to hit a person’s head, their head would be gone, much less their brains!
“Three!”
“Him! It’s h-him! ” Joshua didn’t bother letting Alex continue his countdown and shouted as he pointed at Franky, who stood in the corner. “He’s the boss of Brilliant Ice Pharmaceutical and the one who asked me to kidnap Stephen.”
Everyone’s gaze fell upon the fat man instantly after those words rang out.
Whoosh!
Franky peed his pants from fright at that moment. In the open space full of people, the smell of urine diffused through the whole area’s air.
Anna was quick to catch the man.
Alex glanced at Joshua, but he didn’t put down the Sledgehammer and said, “There’s another person, Stacey Cooper. Where is she?”
As soon as he said that, a cold, merciless voice rang out from inside, “I’m here. Who are you?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1055
“I’m here. Who are you?”
The voice was cold, and it sounded mechanical.
Then, a woman in a long black dress walked out of Amaryllis Tower. Her steps were even as she walked with an imposing aura that seemed to leak out of her. Many people didn’t know who she was, having never seen her before.
Alex was, of course, also one of them.
However, when he saw the woman, his eyes flashed, and a playful look appeared upon his face.
“Stacey Cooper?!” Anna called out in surprise.
As the middleman in California Divine Constabulary, she naturally read the files and saw Stacey’s photos.
“She’s Stacey Cooper!” Travis nodded, confirming the information.
“But, she doesn’t seem to be someone who’s trapped here?” Jamie commented. Stacey was also part of the Missouri division, so it was only natural they all got along well and were familiar with each other.
Alex looked at Stacey with a smile, not saying a word. It was Jamie who spoke again, “Stacey, he’s an elder from the California division. His name is Alex, and he came to assist us in rescuing you.”
“Rescue me? Whatever for?” Stacey rolled her eyes coldly. She looked at Jamie with eyes full of contempt and detachment.
This caused Jamie’s heart to clench fiercely. Jamie had liked Stacey for a very long time!
Jamie said anxiously, “What’s the matter with you, Stacey? Has someone threatened you? You don’t have to fear anymore, this is Elder Alex, and he’s a Grandmaster. He can easily save you. Look, Joshua Jones is about to be executed, right? You don’t have to be afraid anymore!”
As he spoke, he stared dead into Stacey’s face.
He hoped that there would be any sort of slight hints on her face that would tell him anything.
However, he was disappointed. There was no change in Stacey’s expression at all.
Not even a blink of an eye.
Stacey coldly said, “The investigation of the Divine Constabulary was wrong. The destruction of the Cullen family has nothing to do with Amaryllis Tower. There is no one threatening me, and no one restricting my freedom either.”
When she said that, all the members from Missouri’s Divine Constabulary looked at her, wide-eyed.
“Stacey, what in the world are you saying?” Jamie stomped his feet in anxiousness. “The evidence we have shows that the destruction of the Cullen family is linked to Amaryllis Tower. Also, the information that you sent to us before this contradicts what you’re saying. Before our communication was interrupted, you even said that something had happened. What had happened?”
Stacey replied in the same cold manner, “Nothing. You’ve all made a mistake.”
Jamie was anxious to the point that he felt his heart was on fire.
The current Stacey felt extremely unfamiliar, as though he didn’t know her anymore. There was not a lick of emotion in her. Before this, although they weren’t girlfriend-boyfriend, their relationship was still very good.
He rushed forward and reached out to pull on her.
No one expected Stacey to suddenly lash out with a heavy kick to Jamie’s stomach with a ‘whoosh’, causing him to fall back on his butt on the floor.
She snorted coldly, “I’m warning you, stay away from me.”
At this point, it seemed like the Divine Constabulary was putting up a clown show in front of the public, and they felt embarrassed on the outside and the inside.
Joshua roared with laughter. “Do you hear that? You’re just a mess in the Divine Constabulary, deliberately misinterpreting everything on your own. Did you think that just because you have the license to kill, you’d be able to victimize and oppress others? There are still upright female members in the Divine Constabulary who are willing to stand up for true justice! Now, all of you people from the Divine Constabulary, get out!”
As soon as he said that, the Sledgehammer in Alex’s hand fell.
Smash!
The iron hammer came down directly upon his head. The so-called hero of the generation, Joshua Jones, died without any time to say his last words.
“You… You killed him?” Stacey was furious. “Didn’t you just hear what I said? I said the Cullen family case has nothing to do with Amaryllis Tower!”
Alex threw the Sledgehammer aside, then clapped his hands and said to Joshua’s corpse, “When you used Fury Dragon Fist, I already knew that you were the one who nearly killed my brother. You were also the one who killed my people, so I’ve taken your life as payback for these debts!”
A sinister look appeared upon Stacey’s face, and her eyes seemed to spit fire as she said, “I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear me?”
Alex glanced at her cahnly. “I won’t talk to a beast. Get the master who‘s behind you out here! Otherwise, I’ll bring down this entire building!”
In the next moment…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1056
He scanned the area coldly and said, “If you don’twant to die, then get lost!”
The power from his glance was extremely threatening. It made the people he looked at feel like a big mountain was crushing down upon them.
Soon, those spectators started to retreat.
Those who were more timid left Amaryllis Tower entirely, but there were still many who stayed behind. Those members who came here loved the bloodied excitement and were also bold. With this kind of peak duel in front of their eyes, one that they wouldn’t even be able to see in the underground ring, how could they miss out on this opportunity?
Alex snorted coldly, then stomped his foot heavily on the ground.
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
With his foot as the center, the ground shook violently, as though a major earthquake had happened. The entire building shook, and the wooden floors below him cracked and shattered. Those who had refused to stay away were startled by the impact, and things were falling left and right. There were even some who were injured by the broken wooden floor.
This was the power of a kick from a Grandmaster.
“Ahhh!”
“Run, hurry and run!”
Finally, someone screamed out.
Then, a group of people ran away from Amaryllis Tower.
Alex looked at Anna. “You go out too!”
Anna shook her head firmly. “No, I want to be here. I’ll watch you on behalf of the Melvis team.”
‘She just wanted to be here to watch, okay?’
“Fine, then stand behind me.”
Anna immediately took a step back and pointed at Stacey as she said, “What the hell is going on with her? I feel like… Something is wrong with her.”
Alex smiled. “Of course, there’s something wrong with her. Do you want to see?”
Anna’s beautiful eyes widened.
Alex reached out and pressed a palm against her back.
A burst of spiritual energy rushed into her body and toward her eyes. In the path of cultivation, there was something called the primordial eye. Once opened, you could see things that the naked eye usually couldn’t. Now that Alex was in the Divine Transcend ence stage, the spiritual power in his body was in harmony with everything around him, and he could help other people open their spiritual eye for a short time… Spiritual eye, primordial eye, they were both the same thing, just different names.
At this moment, when Anna glanced at Stacey again, she saw something different.
There was a black monster on Stacey’s back. It had an unusually fierce appearance, with long, sharp teeth and claws.
She hugged Alex in surprise. “T-That… What’s that?!”
“It’s a wraith puppet! ” Alex replied.
Anna was speechless.
“A wraith puppet has been placed on Stacey, and her mind has also been controlled. That’s why she looked so strange now and is behaving like a completely different person. “When she speaks, it’s the person who’s controlling her doing it through her.”
Jamie was shocked. “Elder Alex, is that true? Do such strange things exist in this world?”
However, when he heard that Stacey’s behavior was not done intentionally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then, what do we do now?” Anna asked.
Alex glanced at Stacey. “Simple. If he doesn’t want to come out, I’ll force him to.”
He then turned to Anna and looked at the red headband on her head. He took it off her head without saying anything, then tied a weird knot with it with a ‘swoosh’ while looking in Stacey’s direction.
The Ultimate Book of Medicine, Red Shackle!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1057
Anna’s ink black hair fell over her shoulders. It wasn’t like her hair was very long, to begin with, and it was only slightly past shoulder length at most, but with her hair down, it added a touch of femininity to her.
“This guy…” Anna ran her fingers through her hair to tidy it up a little, her cheeks flushed.
Alex found that since he had reached the Divine Transcendence level, his mental power had increased greatly, and using the techniques from the Ultimate Book of Medicine came easier than usual. The knots for Red Shackles were done smoothly, and the spiritual lock was aimed at the wraith puppet, so it wouldn’t be able to run away even if it wanted to.
Perhaps the wraith puppet realized the approaching danger, and its already ugly features became even more horrendous.
It opened his mouth wide and hissed sharply.
Stacey, who was under its control, also opened her mouth and made an abnormal sound. “Get lost!”
A burst of black air burst forth from her mouth in that instant.
However, the Red Shackles in Alex’s hands emitted a red glow at the same time, pushing back the black air. The red glow transformed into a big net invisible to ordinary people, instantly binding all the black air, including the wraith puppet on Stacey’s back.
The knot tightened!
The wraith puppet was compressed into a small ball, trapped inside the red net. It looked like a red ball of thread.
“I’ve caught it!”
With Anna having her spiritual eye opened, she personally saw the entire process of how Alex had caught the wraith puppet. It was both a novel and a terrible experience, and she looked at Alex with bright, astonished eyes.
At the same time, in a closed, secret room on the fifth floor below Amaryllis Tower, an old man opened his eyes abruptly. The insides of his eyes were pitch black with no sign of any white.
He opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Even the blood that came from his mouth was black. After a while, the darkness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his eyes returned to that of an ordinary person.
Then, he stood up suddenly and rushed out of the secret room.
Also, at the same time, Stacey looked to be a robot that had lost all power. She stood rooted to the spot, her eyes blank.
“Stacey?!”
“What happened to her?!”
The members from Missouri’s Divine Constabulary all looked at Stacey before turning to look at Alex.
“It’s fine. She had just been controlled by someone wicked. Now that the medium has been eliminated, the driving force behind it is gone, but her mind has not yet recovered,” Alex replied, hanging the red ball of thread on his belt like some trinket.
“Huh? Can she still recover?” Jamie asked, panicked.
“Of course!”
Alex was immediately preparing to use the Seven Needles of Exorcism to restore Stacey’s mind, but he suddenly felt a strong murderous aura in the next moment, rushing up from the ground at a fast speed. In a blink of an eye, it had reached the first floor of Amaryllis Tower.
For a moment, an overwhelming pressure pressed down upon the entire Amaryllis Tower.
There was also a strong scent of blood that was so strong, it made them feel nauseous, and they wanted to throw up.
“The real master is coming. Step back!”
Alex pushed Stacey toward Jamie, then pulled Anna back up all the way to the walls.
Alex didn’t really care much about Stacey.
However, it was a different matter with Anna.
Anna’s heart beat wildly as Alex pulled her by her hand, and she couldn’t help but think, ‘This guy, he disregarded Stacey Cooper, the granddaughter of Missouri’s ninth division commander, and instead was more concerned about my safety. Is he also interested in me? Huh? Why did I use the word ‘also’? It must be because he has too many women!’
Alex would never have imagined that Tigress Anna would be thinking of nonsensical things like this at this moment. What the heck was he doing?
He was surprised at the strong scent of blood that hung in the air.
Just by observing with his Third Eye, he could clearly feel the huge amount of resentment accumulated in the air that reeked of blood.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1058
This guy, how many people in the world had he killed? Even if god didn’t kill this kind of person, he would!
“Boss, what the hell is coming?”
“Why is there such a strong stench of blood in the air? Could it be a demonic cultivator?” One of the members from Missouri’s division asked nervously.
The people in Amaryllis Tower had scattered in fright from the stomp that Alex had made, and not a single person continued to stand in the way of the people from the Divine Constabulary at this moment.
Didn’t they see the great power that a Grandmaster and elder of the Divine Constabulary had shown? Wasn’t it equivalent to digging their own grave if they continued to stay put?
However, there was still one outsider who was present. It was Frankly Lee, the owner of Brilliant Ice Pharmaceutical.
After Anna caught him, Franky had been handcuffed to the railing of the stairs. With what little capabilities he had, how could he possibly escape?
And now, even a Grandmaster like this Alex had retreated to the outer wall as though he was going to face a major enemy while he was still locked in place by the handrail. He was anxious, and cold sweat poured from his forehead non-stop. He begged Anna loudly, “Let me go, please, I beg you! Whatever you want, I’ll promise to do it!”
However, nobody responded to him.
Anna grabbed onto Alex’s hand. Her eyes fixed upon the deep depths of Amaryllis Tower.
Alex said in a low voice, “You better leave. The further you can, the better.”
But, it was too late.
A red shadow rushed forward at lightning speed, whizzing out from the inside through the Amaryllis Tower’s lobby in an instant, and stood in front of everyone.
It had also blocked off the path to the doors.
“Leaving? But, where are you going?” A voice rang out. The red shadow turned out to be the old man who had rushed out from the secret room below the tower.
His eyes swept across the place, finally landing upon Alex. “It’s you, the one who dealt with my ghost doll? Hand it over immediately, and I may still leave behind a dried-up corpse of your body.”
Usually, when other people said this, they would say, ‘leave your corpse intact’.
He was telling him that he would leave a mummified corpse behind directly.
Alex looked at the old man, the murderous intent inside him intensified.
Using his Third Eye, he could tell with a glance that the grievance inside the old man was sky-high. More importantly, where others that had entangled with so many aggrieved souls would usually be dead by this point, not only was this old man still alive, he had even turned them all into his power. This was because the old man had the blood of all the resentful spirits in him.
He had drunk the blood of those people while they had been alive and took away their souls after their death, turning them into wraith puppets to become part of his great powers.
At this moment, he had nearly three thousand wraith puppets by his side!
What kind of idea had this man come up with?
This guy had killed at least three thousand people!
He had devoured them fresh while they were still alive and had let them die in excruciating pain.
It was extremely cruel. A terrible sin. For this kind of man to continue living, it was a stain on all of humankind.
“You deserve to die!” Alex spat out coldly.
The old man snorted coldly. “I don’t want to. You can donate your corpse instead!”
Having said that, he turned into a red shadow with just a single move and reached out his hands to grab at Alex.
“What speed! I couldn’t even see his shadow!” Jamie exclaimed in shock. The old man moved so fast he only left behind a long, red shadow after he moved.
“Hahaha, brat! You have a good body, and you’ll be an obedient slave in the future! Give me some blood!” The old man was still in his shadow form, but he didn’t stop and chose to round Alex at a fast speed… The bloodied aura leaked from his body, the devilish magic surged, looking like a car wheel spinning like crazy.
Slap!
A crisp slap rang out suddenly at this moment, and the members of the Divine Constabulary all heard it clearly. The shadow spinning around Alex stopped abruptly, and the old man’s body fell to the ground like discarded rubbish.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1059
Looking at the old man on the ground looking like a dead beast, Anna and the others were speechless. It had just been spinning around Alex just now, like a flaming wheel. He was just pretending to be funny, right?
He had been prattling on about how great he was, and now he had been brought down with just a single slap?
Gideon laughed loudly and said, “So, the old man was just some useless guy. I thought he really was some old demon cultivator. He frightened me that I almost peed my pants, so he was just playing some magic tricks on us!”
As soon as he said that, the old man on the ground flashed and turned into a bloody shadow suddenly, disappearing from where it had fallen.
“Watch out!” Travis called out. He had a bad feeling about what he had just seen.
However, it was too late.
The red shadow wrapped itself around Gideon, lifting him from the ground in the next second. Gideon screamed in surprise, which stopped abruptly, almost immediately. The few of them only saw the red shadow spinning around at a fast pace in the air once again, and then an object fell to the ground a few moments later.
With one glance, they saw that it was Gideon’s body.
It had become a mummified corpse. All the blood had been sucked dry.
“Ahhhh!” Anna screamed with terror and worry in her eyes. Such a crazy, brutal method of killing someone was unheard of, and more importantly, it was extremely quick.
Franky was right next to the mummified corpse, and he opened his mouth wide, wanting to scream. However, he knew on the inside that he couldn’t. Otherwise, if he attracted the attention of that old devil, he would be done for.
He firmly bit down on his hand to stop himself from screaming in the end.
After the old demon was finished with Gideon, he stood on the ground once more, his body once more whole and the bloody aura around him even stronger than before. The three thousand resentful spirits around him let out a piercing scream.
His eyes turned completely black and looked terrifying and strange.
“Brat, I didn’t expect that you’ve also reached the Divine Transcendence realm. I had underestimated you, but this is so much better. Once I devour your flesh and blood, my Shadow Blood Demon Arts will be able to rise through to another level. Haha, I get more excited the more I think about it!”
Alex snorted coldly, not saying a single word in response.
Travis’s face changed drastically when he heard that. “Shadow Blood Demon Arts?! Are you the remnants of those who worship the Blood Cult?!”
The old demon laughed sinisterly. “So what if I am? Did you think that it is so easy to destroy those who worship the Blood Cult? It won’t be long before the Blood Cult will rise again and take over America. We will have all seventy two families from the six factions in the Golden Era to pay the price with their blood.”
When he said that, Travis’s face looked even more grave than ever.
Then, the old demon pointed at Alex. “Today, you’ll be the offering I give to worship the Blood Cult!”
He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and from his body appeared three phantoms. There were a total of four figures in addition to himself, and all of them launched a fierce assault at Alex.
With such a mysterious technique, everyone from the Divine Constabulary was shocked, and they yelled out in surprise one after another.
How was this still martial arts?! Even if it was a martial arts Grandmaster, it was doubtful that they would have such a mysterious technique like splitting their bodies like this.
What made Travis and the others more bewildered was that all of them looked to have solid bodies, and they couldn’t tell which was fake and real. It really looked like there were four blood demons, as all of them looked the same and real.
There was heavy pressure from all four, and the bloody, demonic energy, as well as the monstrous evil aura, poured out from them.
The four magic shadows moved at an incredibly fast speed. The unique characteristic of the Shadow Blood Demon Arts was that it was fast
So, everyone on the scene couldn’t really see properly what was happening in front of them.
Forget about Travis and the others, even Anna, who was standing behind Alex, didn’t know what was happening. She only felt Alex’s arm wrapped around her waist, giving her the wondrous secure feeling. It felt as though as long as he was around, nothing would happen to her, even if the sky were to fall.
Boom!
A burst of spiritual energy exploded. It was followed by a crisp, clear, ‘slap’!
In the next moment, the four magic shadows had disappeared, leaving only one behind.
The old demon fell heavily to the ground once again, just like before.
He spat out mouthfuls of blood when he opened his month. There were even a few teeth mixed with it.
The old demon got up. His pupils still pitch black, a look of disbelief upon his face. “Impossible. How could you have found my real body?”
The expression upon his face looked as though someone had stepped on his lifelong faith, and his world had completely crumbled. It had obviously been such a powerful Shadow Blood Demon Art. How could it be so useless in front of this person?
Alex stood where he was and said, “I didn’t find your real body.”
“Then, how did you…”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1060
“Because I was faster than you.”
“What?!”
“I beat up all four of your shadows at once. Who cares which one of you was fake or real? What’s the point in knowing that?”
The corner of the old man’s lips twitched, and he felt as though he had just received a thousand critical hits. The blood energy on his body surged up in the next instant, and all three thousand wraith puppets roared one after another, twisting and joining to form a giant wraith puppet at least five meters high.
Moreover, this puppet was different from the previous ones. It was a physical manifestation.
There was no need for the spiritual eye. Even ordinary people could see it with their naked eyes.
Roar!
The gigantic wraith puppet roared. Its mouth opened wide, black air surging forward.
“Ahhhh..!”
“What the hell is that?!”
“It… It..! It looks like a demon, Blood Devourer, from the Blood Cult!”
It was Travis, who was more knowledgeable on this matter, who called out.
Faced with such a supernatural enemy, the people from the Divine Constabulary all trembled. Franky Lee had already peed in his pants, and Anna was gripping Alex’s arms tightly… Alright, fine, Alex himself was also quite surprised. This was the first time he had come face to face with such an existence, with such surging magical energy.
The old demon had regained his confidence once again.
“Brat, you should feel honored to be the first to die at the hands of my Blood Devourer. From now on, you will become part of it and will contribute to the Blood Cult! Kill him!”
The Blood Devourer transformed into a red, blood light beam under his command and shot at Alex and Anna.
Anna’s face was as pale as paper, and she said in a frightened voice, “Alex, what do we do?”
Alex held her with one arm and raised his other hand above his head. He whispered, “I have a sword that can cut through theuniverse!”
He was talking about Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six. The first sword, the Sword of the Universe!
This was also the first sword formation that Alex had managed to crack and its corresponding dragon bone sword.
Once the sword appeared, it was as though the Milky Way appeared and hung above them and that even mountains in the world crumbled at the sight of it.
Swish!
The five-meter high Blood Devourer was split in half. Then, it scattered, turning back into countless wraith puppets, and fled back to the old man’s side.
The old demon was stunned for a while, fury vibrating through his entire being.
Alex’s sword had directly cut through his puppets and cost him half of the amount he had of them!
His heart bled at the thought.
The people from the Divine Constabulary, who saw such a domineering sword, were extremely shocked. They turned to Alex, looking at him like he was the coming of a messiah.
“Ahhh! You bastard, you’ve crossed the line!” The old demon roared hysterically. He needed to work something out. His life depended on it!
However, the first target he focused on was Travis. He needed fresh blood and meat.
Travis was an Earth rank warrior, and his blood energy was extremely strong.
“Retreat!”
Alex kept away the dragon bone sword and warned loudly as he prepared to cast Thunder Palm Mantra. Hundreds of wraith puppets swarmed around him the moment he said that, and to protect Anna, he had no way to extend help.
That small period of delay caused Travis to be caught by the old demon’s Blood Shadow Demon Arts and instantly turned into a mummy. But the old demon was frantic and was not satisfied with just that. Seeing how the rest of the Missouri division’s members gathered together, he rounded them all up.
Crack, splatter!
Apart from Stacey, a dead person walking, every single member from the Missouri division was annihilated.
Simultaneously, the old demon suddenly felt something and turned around abruptly, his angry eyes wide.
He found that Alex had somehow gotten his hands on a Stake of Exorcism, as well as a female ghost general, and was devouring his wraith puppets. They had already swallowed hundreds of them when he saw this.
