Ch. 1961..1970
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1961
The man immediately took the child out of the room.
Cheryl frowned and said, “How could this be?”
The antidote was obtained after using her own body to test the poison and having a narrow escape. If it was not effective, of course she would be extremely disappointed.
Alex took her hand and comforted her. “Cheryl, you already did your best. Don’t think too much about it. Also, we’ve done the experiments that prove the antidote was indeed effective against the toxin. It’s possible that it’s just reacting differently to individuals. Let’s wait a bit more and see.”
The woman coughed up a lot of blood. Later, she even threw up thick clots of blood, as though she was about to die soon.
However, Alex’s Third Eye could see that after coughing up so much blood, the woman’s aura became stronger instead, and the bloodline in her body was completely activated. She immediately gained a physique that surpassed the ordinary people. Even the dense, bloody demonic Chi in her body disappeared without a trace.
“It’s a success!” Chery jumped up happily. Even her eyes were red-rimmed. After so many days of hard work, they had finally found a real antidote.
The woman calmed down and looked at Alex and Cheryl before asking blankly, “Where is this? Why am I here? Where’s… My husband?”
“He’s waiting right outside the door. This is a hospital, don’t be afraid!”
Alex checked her pulse and probed at her body’s condition at the same time. Finally, he confirmed that she was indeed healed. Moreover, her bloodline was very interesting. It was the bloodline of fish. Now that the bloodline had been completely activated, he still didn’t know how that would affect her in the later stages.
‘Would she live inside water now?’
Alex snapped his fingers.
The man and a boy waiting outside the door immediately ran in.
“Wife!”
“Mom!”
The family fell into an embrace.
Alex thought, ‘Even if this woman becomes a mermaid one day, I believe they will still be very much in love.’
Although there was one successful case, it didn’t mean that every case would be successful.
Alex and Cheryl did not immediately give the antidote to others, but continued to administer them one by one. After trying four patients in a row, the two people instantly felt relieved when they found that the situation was similar to the previous one.
Then, they distributed the antidote, letting the others in the hospital to inject it into the patients.
At this moment, Sky Melvis came over. He said to Alex with a solemn expression, “Something has happened to your grandfather.”
“Huh?” Alex was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked, “What happened to him?”
“He’s been taken away by the Flying Eagles!” Sky replied.
“Flying Eagles? Why the heck did the Flying Eagles take my grandfather?”
Alex immediately thought if the Youngs were the culprit because Anna once said that the current person in-charge of the Flying Eagles was the patriarch of the Young family. However, he knew many people from the Flying Eagles and felt that the Flying Eagles wouldn’t go after his grandfather because of his own personal affairs, right?
However, now that his grandfather had been captured, he definitely couldn’t leave it alone.
It was just that he was not familiar with that side of the Flying Eagles. He needed to look for his master, Jade Benmore.
Since he just obtained the antidote, he could head back already.
Alex didn’t feel assured about leaving Cheryl alone in Mercy Hospital. He was worried that the unethical Young family would send someone here to capture her. Hence, he simply took Cheryl out of the hospital and headed towards Rockefeller Manor.
At this moment, another team of Flying Eagles finally set foot on the land of Long Beach, South California after a long journey and were hurrying towards Mercy Hospital.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1962
After ten minutes of work, Alex and Cheryl arrived at Rockefeller Manor in California.
Alex immediately located Jade Benmore, only to find her with another woman. He did not know what they were talking about. Anyway, the atmosphere looked serious.
The woman also looked to be incredibly beautiful and young, not more than twenty-seven or twenty eight years old. However, there was a faint sense of demonic Chi leaking from her body.
A demonic cultivator?
Alex was taken aback for a moment. However, this was not the time to pay attention to this. He walked over immediately and said, “Master, I have something to tell you.”
Before Jade could open her mouth, the woman next to her spoke first. She shot Alex a cold look with a hint of murderous intent and coldly said, “You’re Alex Rockefeller?”
Who was Alex?
It was impossible for him not to feel her killing intent. His eyes narrowed. “Who are you?”
He also reached out to pull Jade behind him.
The current Jade had no power at all. Meanwhile, the woman in front of him was so imposing, and the faint murderous aura leaking from her made others uncomfortable.
The woman snorted coldy. “Who am I? You’re not even qualified to know that. Let me ask you, did you kill Maxwell Lawrence?”
“Maxwell Lawrence?” Alex was stunned for a moment.
“What if I did?”
The woman said, “It’s good that you admit it! Then, you should kill yourself!”
Alex furrowed his brows and glanced at Jade behind him. Then, he said, “So, you’re also a member of the Blood Cult? Do you think you’re great just because you’re standing up for the Lawrence family and become the Shura tribe’s lapdog? Pfft, what the f*ck are you playing at?”
Jade behind him rubbed her snow-white forehead. It seemed that she wanted to laugh, but was holding back desperately.
The woman was furious. “You dare to scold me?!”
Alex said righteously, “So what if I did? You didn’t choose to be a good person, but a traitor to mankind instead? And you even want to seek justice for trash like Maxwell… I’m surprised you put on such airs, but you’ve lost your conscience.”
The woman seethed with rage with a chilling expression on her face. She suddenly turned to Jade and said, “Jade, you better don’t stop me today. If I don’t teach this b*stard a lesson today, then my surname won’t be Flores.”
Alex was startled. “Master, you know her? She’s not here to kill you?”
Jade said with a weird expression, “You… Sigh, forget it. Just let her beat you and vent her anger!”
“Huh? Why should I? She’s doing it for Maxwell Lawrence! Don’t you remember who he was? That’s a lapdog of the Shura tribe!”
However, the woman had started releasing her powers. The surging of the demonic Chi was like a boundless sea. When she flipped her hands, countless demons emerged from thin air.
Alex was instantly stunned.
“Holy sh*t, she’s that great?”
One of these demons was already troublesome enough. Now, there were at least a hundred of them. This woman was absurdly powerful. It was not simply someone Alex could fight against.
“Kill him!” The woman shouted in a tender tone, commanding the demons to launch their attacks on Alex.
Goosebumps appeared all over Alex, and the Chaos Tree in his mind palace screamed. It seemed to have felt the looming threat, so it took the initiative to help Alex overcome this disaster.
Whoosh!
A wave of chaos Chi rushed into the Requiem Clock that was resting quietly in his mind palace. A whim struck Alex. ‘I have to fight! I can’t just let myself be passively beaten all the time, right? Even though this woman seems to have some connections to Jade, she has already unleashed her killing move. I can’t be stupid enough to expect her to be merciful, right?’
Roar!
With a loud roar, he poured the divine power from his golden core into the Requiem Clock continuously.
One hundred thousand points, two hundred thousand points, five hundred thousand points!
The Requiem Clock started to move.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1963
The Requiem Clock was still better than Persephone’s Folly Bridge. At least it didn’t take one million points of divine power with just one usage.
Woo, woo, woo!
The Requiem Clock instantly rushed out of Alex’s mind palace, rising with the wind. The overwhelming, dark golden light burst forth and enveloped the entire Rockefeller Manor. The sky and land drastically changed, and the worldly rules were distorted. The entire space around them seemed to have frozen and unmovable.
The woman was a demonic cultivator. It was natural that she would be restrained by holy energy.
At this moment, as soon as Ksitigarbha’s artifact came out, she was completely stunned. She hurriedly called back the hundred demons to protect her, but…
Dong!
A loud, magnificent clock sound suddenly exploded in mid-air. The woman’s hundred demons screamed and burst into ashes amidst the clock sound.
Meanwhile, the demonic cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only that, the Requiem Clock suddenly fell down and covered the woman in it.
Only then did Alex let out a long sigh of relief… It was still a bit of struggle to operate the Requiem Clock. It was fortunate that his mental strength had soared greatly now, otherwise his head would probably feel like bursting. But, the most unfortunate thing was that he had used up five hundred thousand points worth of divine power, and that really hurt.
On the other hand, Jade beside him was stunned right away.
She pointed at the Requiem Clock with a surprised look on her face. “Alex, you…”
Alex interrupted her directly. “Master, listen to me first. We managed to produce the antidote and lifted the toxin in a large batch of patients in the hospital. I will administer the antidote injection to you now.”
“Really?”
Jade was overjoyed when she heard this. She did not expect to be able to cure the poison in the first place, so it was fine to be an ordinary person like this. Of course, provided that she wouldn’t be a burden on Alex’s life force. Knowing that Alex now had discovered the antidote, she was naturally elated.
Alex took out the long prepared antidote and injected it into Jade’s body while anxiously saying, “Master, there’s one more thing that’s extremely urgent. Just now in Mercy Hospital, I killed the son from the Imperial Capital’s Young family, Lenny Young. In the end, the Young family dispatched the Flying Eagles to capture my grandfather, and also killed a few Divine Constabulary members. I’m going to stage a rescue now, but I don’t know the specific location.”
“What did you say? You killed Lenny Young?” Jade was stunned.
She looked at Alex, feeling slightly regretful that she had taken this man as her disciple.
‘Didn’t he just attract too much trouble?’
The matter with Mount Fuji in Japan had yet to be resolved, and the whole world was calling out for America to surrender Alex. And now he had gone and killed the son of the Flying Eagles’ commander. How great!
She frowned and said, “I’ve dealt with Darnic Young before, and he’s quite a vindictive person. Lenny is the only son of his most favored second wife, so he must be out of his mind with rage right now.”
Alex said, “He’s got a bad attitude. I’m the one who killed his son, why did he go after my grandfather?”
“I’ll help you ask about it immediately,” Jade said.
But soon, the antidote in her body started to work, and she violently coughed up blood.
Alex hurriedly said, “Master, don’t worry. This is the normal process of detoxification, and you will cough up a lot of blood. You have to hold on!”
Just then, a figure rushed over. Alex glanced up, studying the figure intently, it was the devil, Luna Flores.
After coming in and seeing Jade coughing up blood, she was shocked. “Second Aunt, what’s wrong?!”
Alex quickly said, “Luna, don’t touch her now, the toxins in her body are being detoxified.”
“Oh..?”
Luna was relieved when she heard this. Then, she glanced around and said in a low voice, “Where’s my mom? I heard that she came here to settle the score with you. Have you seen her?”
Alex was shocked. “Your mother is here? Who is your mother?”
At this moment, a woman’s voice came from within the Requiem Clock. “You Rockefeller brat, hurry up and let me out. Do you know who I am?”
When Alex glanced at Luna who was pointing at the Requiem Clock, his eyes suddenly widened.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1964
“Ah, Mom!” Luna Flores rushed over and tried to lift the Requiem Clock.
However, how could she lift an artifact like the Requiem Clock just because she wanted to?
The Requiem Clock’s stance seems to say, “If I move even an inch, it’ll be considered my loss!”
Meanwhile, Alex felt his head was about to explode. Never did he expect that the woman he had suppressed would turn out to be Luna’s mother, the Old Moon Devil!
However, she looked so young. Even if she had stated her identity, who would believe her?
More importantly, who could just endure it when the first thing she did was to come up and yell that she was going to kill him?
Luna couldn’t lift the Requiem Clock. Only then did she ask Alex, “Why is my mom trapped in it?”
Alex spread out his arms.
“You did it?”
“She tried to kill me…”
“What?”
Luna blinked and whispered, “T-then, let’s keep her locked up in there.”
Alex shook his head. “We can’t lock her any longer, this is the Requiem Clock. As time goes on, your mother’s soul will disintegrate.”
“What?! T-T-Then, hurry up and take it off! Take it off!”
Alex operated the Requiem Clock with divine power and put it back into his mind palace.
At this time, the Old Moon Devil inside was already infuriated, but she was also battered and exhausted. She didn’t even have the strength to curse him. The Requiem Clock was a Buddhism treasure. It was already considered a powerful feat that she could endure it for so long.
However, she had also suffered heavy losses. She had lost countless demons.
“That… Aunt, I’m very sorry. If you had identified yourself earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this. I have some healing pills, you should take a few first!”
The Old Moon Devil’s name was Metztli Flores. She was the other wife of the Flying Eagles Academy’s principal, Gilbert Henderson.
She slapped away the pills that Alex handed over to her. “No need! Get out of here, I don’t want to see your face!”
Metztli had heard that Alex had killed Maxwell Lawrence, the future son-in-law whom she had been eyeing, and had even slept with her daughter Luna, so she ran over here in a hurry to settle the score with him.
Then, she learned that Alex was Jade Benmore’s disciple. She couldn’t kill him, but she wanted to teach him a proper lesson. Who would have known that she would be the one to be taught a lesson instead?
And, she had been severely reprimanded too. It would be strange if she was happy!
At this time, Jade had stood up and was laughing softly. “Metztli, you can’t beat him, so what’s the use of talking so angrily like that? On the contrary, my disciple has helped you see Maxwell Lawrence’s true nature. You should thank him instead! In fact, I told you before that the Lawrence family was ambitious, and Maxwell Lawrence wasn’t someone good, but you refused to believe it.”
Metztli snorted and ignored Jade’s words.
Jade said, “Metztli, you said before that you would only lash out once. Now you’ve done it once, there will be no second chance! Otherwise, I won’t sit back and watch you bully my disciple… Oh, but it’s not like you can beat him anyway.”
“You… Jade, his cultivation has nothing to do with you.”
“He’s still my disciple, and he calls me ‘Master’.”
“I think you just covet a man that’s so much younger than you.”
“F*ck off!”
“Mom, Second Aunt, please stop arguing,” Luna said.
Metztli shot her a glare. “Isn’t it for your sake? What good does he have? He already has a wife.”
Luna weakly said, “Daddy also has several wives. At least, you can’ t beat him!”
Metztli was about to cough up blood in rage. This was her biological daughter.
“People say that daughters are the apple of their parents’ eyes, loving and filial. I think you’re my poison instead!”
Luna hugged Alex’s arm. “It’s alright, Morn, he can help to detoxify you.”
Metztli said, “Stay away from me. I’m not your mother!”
“Fine, I have a few mothers anyway.”
“…”
Alex looked towards Jade instead and asked, “How are you feeling now, Master?”
Jade stretched her limbs and said, “It feels great now. I seem to be a little stronger than before.”
Alex said with a smile, “That’s great.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1965
“I’ll ask about your grandfather right away,” Jade said.
At the same time, another Flying Eagles team had already arrived at Mercy Hospital.
Boom!
A high-ranked Flying Eagles cultivator abruptly leaped into the air and punched through a certain laboratory building. The next second, an earth-shaking sound rang out, and half of the laboratory building collapsed.
Immediately afterward, a thunderous roar rang out…
“Who’s the dean of the hospital, get out here! I’ll give you one minute, otherwise I’ll tear down this sh*tty hospital!”
The sound was surprisingly loud.
Almost everyone in the hospital heard the voice, and they exchanged glances with each other. After a few seconds, there was surging panic in the crowd… They had just seen someone break half a building with a single punch.
Was he even human?
Could it be that he was Superman?
Anyone who had seen this scene would have the unconscious emergence of the same doubt in their mind.
“Run!”
“Everyone, run quickly!”
Countless hospital patients and medical staff ran out of various buildings. When had these ordinary people ever seen such a terrifying thing before?
The few Divine Constabulary members were still here, Sky Melvis, Anna Coleman, and another three members.
Sky furrowed his brows deeply. He knew that he definitely wasn’t a match for those few people. However, as a Divine Constabulary member, he really couldn’t watch these people willfully destroy a hospital nor slaughter ordinary people. He stood up. “Gentlemen, this is a hospital, a place where ordinary citizens come for treatment. Most of them are just ordinary people. Do you still deserve to carry the Flying Eagles’ name when you act like this?”
The one in the lead was the man who tried desperately to curry favor with Darnic Young earlier. At this moment, he sneered, “Who the hell are you? Do you think you have a place to talk here?”
Sky said, “I am Sky Melvis from Divine Constabulary. Please restrain yourselves and don’t discredit the Flying Eagles.”
“F*ck off, you piece of sh*t. Do you think you have power here?” As he said that, he grabbed the air.
Sky desperately tried to avoid the incoming blow, but he couldn’t do it
The man instantly caught him in the air and crashed him heavily to the ground.
Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!
The man was extremely cruel and he did not treat Sky like a human being at all. He smashed Sky against the ground seven to eight times. The poor Sky was so beaten that he instantly coughed up blood with an unknown amount of broken bones in his body.
Fury roared in Anna’s mind. In her opinion, the Flying Eagles should be the guardians of America, the ones who were most respected and loved by the people. As a result of what she was seeing, they seemed more like devils from hell.
“I’m going to kill you!” Anna rushed forward, outraged. However, the result was extremely sad.
The man flicked his bare hand and viciously sent out a flying sword.
Swoosh!
The sword passed directly through Anna’s middle energy core, nailing her firmly to the ground.
Anna started coughing up large amounts of blood vigorously, and her breath gradually weakened.
The remaining few Divine Constabulary members were stunned, and they were close to going out of their mind. The man still had a fierce expression on his face. “Where is the dean? Why isn’t the dean out here yet?!”
One Divine Constabulary member quickly gave Alex a call.
“Elder Rockefeller, something terrible happened! A team of the Flying Eagles came to Mercy Hospital saying they want to see the dean, otherwise they will tear down the hospital!”
“Anna Coleman… Has been killed! ”
When Alex on the other side of the phone heard it, he was completely bewildered.
The next moment, an overwhelming rage burned through him sweeping across the world.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1966
His beautiful disciple, Anna Coleman… Was dead?!
A violent wave of fury crashed through him, and he felt as though he was about to burst from it.
Boom!
A loud blast sound and the ground was hit, making a deep hole sinking into itself.
“Alex, what’s the matter?”
“What happened?”
When Alex was on the phone, everyone didn’t pay attention to him. However, when Alex’s murderous intent was leaking this much, everyone knew instantly that someone must have happened.
“Flying Eagles has attacked Mercy Hospital, indiscriminately killing innocents, and even killed my disciple from the Divine Constabulary!”
“As a man, I must take this revenge!”
In his heart, in addition to the boundless hatred he felt, there was also guilt. This was because he had killed Lenny Young from the Young family. Anna had also tried to persuade him, but he hadn’t listened, and she had paid the price.
Boom!
Alex stomped his foot on the ground, pushing himself into the sky. The Dragon Bone Sword that materialized below his feet, as though it could feel its master’s endless murderous intent, let out a burst of invisible energy that seemed to devour the skies.
Sword and master shot through the sky headed toward Long Beach.
“This kid had such a strong murderous intent!” Metztli Flores said in surprise. “Is this the understanding of a grim reaper’s artistic conception?!”
“He has a lot of cards up his sleeve,” Jade Benmore said.
“I don’t even know how many he has. I’m afraid that something terrible will happen this time. I have to follow after him!”
As she said that, she leaped up and hurriedly chased after him.
Metztli’s lips curled. “Humph, the power of Flying Eagles has fallen into the speculative hands of Darnic Young. It’s more surprising if nothing happens! Those old farts in the government, what do they know about fighting? If they’re not busy obstructing things, they’re just sitting on their a*s and praying to the gods.”
She stood still without moving, while Luna Flores was the one anxious. “Mom, let’s go and take a look too! If anything happens to Alex, I…”
“What about you?”
“Then, I don’t want to live anymore.”
“You’re a filial daughter, aren’t you? That guy almost killed me just now.”
“Fine, fine! You can sit here. I’ll go myself!”
Luna’s cultivation base was not weak, but Alex already had a head start and was probably more than halfway to Long Beach, leaving her far behind. By the time she was up in the sky, Alex and Jade’s figures couldn’t be seen anymore.
At this moment, Metztli summoned a phantom dragon with a hand wave and turned the illusion to reality before taking it to the sky. She grabbed Luna and angrily said, “Really, the saying that it’s hard to keep a grown woman at home is true. You haven’t even been married off, yet your heart is already so far gone. I’ve raised you in vain.”
“Mom, having Alex as a son-in-law is ten thousand times better than Maxwell Lawrence. You won’t have any losses from it.”
“Humph!”
At the same time, several Flying Eagle members, Butcher, Bunty, and Danseur, were all shocked when they saw Jade soaring through the sky.
“Boss Benmore’s cultivation has been restored?”
“Where the heck are they going?”
“Didn’t you see the murderous look on Alex’s face? I’m sure he’s going to kill someone.”
“Then, what are we waiting for? We’ve been enjoying food and drinks in the Rockefeller residence these two days. It’s time for us to work.”
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The three figures also took to the skies.
***
Alex was too fast.
The Sword of the Universe, which had absorbed the breath of the Ancestor Dragon, combined with the runes that increased its speed, had the ultimate, neck breaking speed that broke the sound barrier, and it was as fast as teleporting.
Three times the speed of sound, five times… Then ten times!
Jade, who was following closely behind, could already feel the strain of doing so. And she was already a cultivator at the peak of the realm of Tribulation Crossing.
The distance between California and Long Beach was not that far. It was about an hour and a half at high speed by car, and with Alex’s speed that was ten times the speed of sound, it was a little more than a minute before he reached the sky above Mercy Hospital.
He saw… The collapsed laboratory building. The crows scattered and were escaping.
Sky Melvis, who was lying on the ground, looking on the verge of death.
And Anna, who had been nailed to the ground with a sword piercing the center of her body.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1967
“Anna!”
Alex’s eyes were blood red, and he carefully pulled Anna into his arms, tears streaming down his eyes. However, Anna was completely motionless. Her body had long since completely lost all its vitality and life force.
Even if Alex had inherited the Ultimate Book of Medicine and was the descendent of the God of Medicine, there was no way to bring a dead person back to life. The life force in her body had dissipated entirely.
“I… I was too late!”
A tear fell quietly. At this moment, he suddenly felt a form of soul power. It… Was extremely weak, a faint hint of soul power, and Alex almost missed it.
“Is this the remnant of Anna’s soul?
“It.. It’s good that there’s a soul left!”
Alex immediately reached out into his mind palace and pulled out the Soul Collection Coffin, loading Anna’s body into it.
At this time, the member from Flying Eagles who had killed Anna had his gaze greedily fixed upon the Soul Collection Coffin. He stepped forward and said, “What is this? Show me!”
Alex’s eyes flashed, bloodshot.
Those who didn’t know would assume that he was a demonic cultivator.
“You’re the one who killed my disciple?”
The man laughed. “So, this small fry is your disciple? Such a useless disciple, her master isn’t much better either. Hurry up and step aside. That coffin of yours has caught my eye.”
Alex waved his hand, recalling the Soul Collection Coffin into his mind palace as he slowly said, “Something of yours has also caught my eye. I want it. Your life!”
Boom!
Alex rushed forward. He used the Dragon-Tusk Punch that he had learned from Anna.
The man from Flying Eagles was quite good, and with that blow from Alex, he was forced three steps back while Alex only took one.
“Die!”
Alex lashed out again. He still used the Dragon-Tusk Punch but had added Chi from his golden core.
Boom, bang!
This time, the man took seven steps back, while Alex took three.
Alex had intended to use Dragon-Tusk Punch to beat the living sh*t out of this man from Flying Eagles, but this person was the same as Darnic Young, a speculative kind of guy. He was also the kind that was afraid of being bullied and hardships. It was easy for him to kill an ordinary martial artist like Anna, but he would suffer losses if he took on Alex, and he didn’t dare to force it. He shouted for his comrades to attack at the same time.
There was a total of ten members from the Flying Eagles team. In addition to the man, who was the leader, there were nine other members.
Just as the nine other members were about to make their move, an extremely chilling voice called out, “I will kill whoever dares to move!”
The voice came from high above them. It was Jade Benmore.
She was furious, and her rage was perhaps even more than Alex’s.
Flying Eagles had been established by her gruesome hard work, where their purpose was to defend their home and country, to fight against foreign enemies. But now, what the hell were they doing? She had only left for a few days, and these people have all changed.
They attacked their people, killed America’s compatriots, and destroyed a hospital. They had neglected and abused the lives of ordinary people.
Were they still the comrades of her Flying Eagles?
These were just a bunch of murderers!
When the voice rang out, those from Flying Eagles looked up and were stunned.
“This person… Why does she look so much like Jade Benmore?”
“Jade Benmore? She’s become a useless person now. Do you still have some psychological trauma that you place the shadow of her figure on that girl?”
“That’s right! Look at her appearance. She’s so much younger. How can she be that battle-crazed woman, Jade? It would be more accurate if you thought that she was the daughter of that lunatic Benmore instead. Oh, why don’t you just grab that little girl and enjoy using her? It’ll be very fulfilling if you pretend that she’s the actual Jade Benmore during that time too.”
The few of them didn’t even consider Jade to be significant in their hearts anymore and kept pushing out insults.
At this time, Butcher, Bunty, and the rest had arrived in a rush. Butcher roared angrily, “You should die for insulting Commander Benmore!”
Having said that, he rushed forward with an ax in hand.
Whoosh!
A head soared upward into the sky!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1968
Jade Benmore’s appearance was that of an eighteen year old because of Alex, so these members from Flying Eagles didn’t immediately recognize her.
However, the battle king, Butcher, was second only to Jade in terms of combat effectiveness in Flying Eagles. He was also Jade’s left and right hand. How could anyone below them not recognize him?
Now, one man’s head had flown through the sky, and the souls of the remaining eight were about to leave their bodies.
“L-Lord Butcher, we… We haven’t offended Commander Benmore!” one of them stuttered.
As soon as he said that, his body was split open by Butcher’s ax.
“Didn’t offend her? Do you think I’m deaf?”
Whoosh!
Another member was cut cleanly across his waist. The entire scene was extremely bloody.
This was Butcher. Wherever he went, it was a field filled with blood.
Bunty came down and gave Butcher a sullen look. “Aren’t you tired of getting so bloodied every time? Blood is spurting everywhere. It’s so disgusting!”
“Just get used to it!” Butcher said.
Three of the members had been killed, and the remaining six felt their legs weakened. They fell on their knees with a ‘thud’ to the ground. Faced with peerless masters like Butcher and Bunty, there was nowhere for them to escape.
As for the team leader, how could he have the courage to continue fighting like this?
He had just wanted to curry favor with Darnic Young, and that was the reason he had taken the initiative to offer himself to lead a team to catch these two ant like beings in Long Beach. He never expected that he would encounter the few strongest people from Flying Eagles, and that was terrible.
Boom!
Alex hit his chest with a punch.
The punch pierced through his chest. It was still the Dragon-Tusk Punch, after all.
The man lowered his head and glanced at the big hole in his chest, his face filled with dissatisfaction. “You… Who the hell are you?!”
“Someone you can’t afford to offend!”
Alex pulled out the Stake of Exorcism and said coldly, “I won’t let you die right away. I will place your soul in this Stake of Exorcism and look for a chance to send you into infernal hell! I’ll let you stay there forever to enjoy the pain and loneliness inside.”
Alex grabbed with his hand, snatching the man’s soul abruptly from his body, tossing it into the Stake of Exorcism.
He also instructed Maiko Chiba not to devour him but to torture him every day instead.
Then, he rushed over to Sky Melvis’ side to save him. Sky’s injuries were also extremely severe, and almost all his bones had been broken. Even his meridians had suffered intensively, and if ordinary medical knowledge and treatment had been used, he would be no better than a vegetable. He would probably die in a few hours.
Alex immediately drew a large Zharvakko Talisman Formation and placed him inside it.
“Anna… How is Anna? Can you save her?”
Sky looked at Alex and asked with much difficulty. He wanted to use his hands to grab Alex, but he couldn’t do it.
Alex said nothing, his mouth firmly shut.
Although he had placed Anna in the Soul Collection Coffin, he wasn’t confident whether or not she would be able to wake up. The only hope there was now was that the Soul Collection Coffin would gather her complete soul and find another physical body for her.
Sky and Anna had a good relationship, and seeing Alex’s expression, Sky could probably already guess the answer.
Although it was normal for them to face death, tears would still fall.
***
“Who was the one who sent you all here?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1969
“Why did you all come here?”
“Tell me everything without leaving anything out!”
Jade Benmore landed on the ground. The aura that surrounded her was like a boundless sea. The fury burning in her eyes looked enough actually to kill someone.
Very soon, a few of them obtained the information. The members from Flying Eagles had come to arrest the dean of Mercy Hospital and her husband on the orders of Darnic Young. They had also received instructions to destroy Mercy Hospital and reduce it to ruins completely.
“Reduce it to ruins?
“Do you know what the dean of Mercy Hospital is doing?!”
“She spent many nights, forgetting to eat or sleep, just to study the poison and produce the antidote to save all the people from their demise. Regardless of the safety of her own life, she had used her body to test the prototypes! In the end, because of Darnic Young’s words, you not only want to arrest her, you also want to obliterate this place?!”
“You guys, why did you join Flying Eagles in the first place?”
“To be loyal to a prosperous figure in the government?!”
One of them knew that none of them would be spared today, so he might as well just say what he wanted to, “You’re Jade Benmore? Well, let me tell you, you’re the commander of Flying Eagles, and you’re always sitting on your high horse, of course, you don’t know what people like us are thinking! What’s in the ancient boundary? Endless amounts of monsters that can’t be killed at all. We’re never going to win a war like that! We don’t all have such a high cultivation base like you, and those of us on the battlefield always barely escape with our lives. It’s better to live a good life instead of dying in vain like that. Who would want to die? All of this is because we were forced by a battle maniac that’s you.”
When Jade heard this, she was stunned.
Bunty smiled and said, “Then, according to you, we don’t have to resist it anymore? We should just wait for the monsters to rush out from there and kill all of humankind. What kind of logic is that?”
The same person said, “No one ever said that humans and monsters aren’t able to coexist peacefully! Jade Benmore only knows how to kill, and her heart is filled with thoughts of only killing. Just because these monsters killed her son, she just wants to kill these monsters to avenge him. She never thought about the consequences of the war! Those of us who came out from the Flying Eagles Academy just die wave after wave. We’re also human. We don’t want to be cannon fodder! Now, Commander Young’s philosophy is different. He won’t force us to fight to the death. He said that we could achieve peaceful coexistence with the two races through proper communication and build a harmonious world together.”
Jade frowned.
Butcher angrily said, “Two races peacefully coexisting? Have you never been to the battlefield? Darnic Young must be out of his mind! Get him to go in there and do his communication then!”
The person said, “We’re just small fries anyway, and we have to do whatever those above us tell us to. Since we’re already in a situation like this today, if you want to kill us, then just do it.”
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?!”
“Wait!”
Jade spoke and stopped Butcher. “Perhaps what he said makes sense.”
“That’s utter bullsh*t!” Bunty said. “Boss Benmore, don’t be deceived by this kind of trash cowards. This sh*tty thing is just being cowardly, and it’s a waste to leave him in the living. Why don’t you just let me kill him now?”
Jade waved her hand. “Let them go!”
“Boss Benmore?!”
Jade shook her head, then turned to Alex and said, “Alex, are you done? If you are, then I’ll take you to the Imperial Capital to rescue your grandfather.”
***
In the Imperial Capital, at the Young family residence. Geronimo Melvis was thrown heavily to the ground.
His leg was broken, and his bone was jutting out from the skin. With him being tossed unceremoniously like that, it hurt as much as being dead.
However, he still didn’t know what had happened.
“Mr. Young, you sent someone to arrest me and bring me here. What is the meaning of this?”
“The meaning?”
Darnic narrowed his eyes at Geronimo. “Your Divine Constabulary is so bold. You dared to kill my grandson, and you even colluded with a traitor to kill my son. Do you still think I shouldn’t have arrested you?”
“What?!”
Geronimo was taken aback. “I’m sorry, Mr. Young. I haven’t heard of this before. Why don’t I make a call to inquire? Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding!”
Darnic shook his head and said, “There isn’t any misunderstanding! The matter is clear, and my son would not have died in vain! All those who were involved will have to die! You’re the president of the Divine Constabulary, and you can’t escape the blame. So, just go to hell!”
He raised his palm, lining it up to deliver it at Geronimo.
“Stop!”
At a critical moment, Alex and Jade had arrived. “I’m the one who killed your son. If you want revenge, then come after me!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1970
Whoosh!
The Sword of the Universe shot fiercely toward Darnic Young, the blade filled with bloodlust.
Darnic felt the extreme pressure coming at him, and for a moment, he was frightened. He didn’t have time to care about Geronimo Melvis, and he hurriedly retreated behind him. At the same time, several masters from Flying Eagles took action to protect Darnic and moved to block the Sword of the Universe.
“Presumptuous!”
“You dare try to kill the commander of the Flying Eagles. You deserve to die!”
One of them rushed into the air intending to kill Alex on the spot.
This person’s cultivation base had reached the realm of Spirit Severing, and once his aura had burst into the atmosphere, the space around them froze, boundless murderous intent sweeping over them.
“Stuart, when did you become a fan of currying favor from the rich and powerful?”
Jade’s figure flashed, and she stood in front of Alex.
Her palm came down and smashed the solidified space as she watched the middle-aged man rush up.
“What?!”
The man named Stuart looked closely at Jade and was taken aback. He stopped quickly, surprise evident in his voice as he said, “You… What is your relationship with Jade Benmore?”
Jade raised an eyebrow. “I am Jade Benmore.”
“What? Are you Commander Benmore? You… How did you become so young?”
While they were talking, Alex had already rushed down toward Geronimo to protect him.
Seeing his injury, Alex was instantly furious.” Grandpa, who’s the one who beat you up like this?”
As president of the Divine Constabulary, Geronimo had dedicated his entire life to the country. Now, he was already older, and Flying Eagles had bullied him. The current Flying Eagles were the scum of society. Geronimo smiled bitterly, “Alex, I’m just not as skilled as others.”
“Humph!”
Alex snorted and beckoned to his sword. He grasped the blade and plunged it into the ground again and looked at the people at the birthday party indifferently. He said, “I initially thought that Flying Eagles was patriotic, passionate, and a team that existed for the sake of the people and country, one that drew blood and sacrificed for their faith. But now I understand that there are also worms in it, and quite a few at that.”
“Flying Eagles can no longer fly! They’re not so far off from being dead!” As soon as Alex finished speaking, countless people had their eyes on him.
Most of the people here that had come to the birthday party at the Young residence were members of Flying Eagles. They had come to curry favor with their new leader. Now that Alex was publicly scolding Flying Eagles, he had basically committed a public outrage. All of them surrounded Alex and Geronimo on the inside tightly, not giving them any space to leave.
“You said you’re the one who killed my son?!”
Darnic leveled Alex with a hard look. “Are you Geronimo’s grandson? You’re the husband of that female dean of Mercy Hospital?”
“That’s right!” Alex said.
“It’s good that you have admitted it. In that case, I will avenge my son. It’s justified to kill both you and your grandfather!” Darnic waved his hand and ordered, “Cut them to pieces, and drag their corpses out and feed it to the dogs!”
Boom!
A figure fell from above. It was Stuart, who had rushed upward just now.
After he fell, the house on the south side of the courtyard collapsed under his weight. Jade also descended from above, hovering over everyone’s head as she calmly said, “I will kill whoever that wants to kill my disciple!”
“What?!”
Everyone looked at Jade, their expressions similar to what Stuart had on his face earlier.
As Jade was several hundred meters above in the sky before, none of them had heard what she had said to Stuart nor had seen her face clearly. However, they could see it at this moment.
“Commander Young, she’s… That’s Jade Benmore!”
