Ch. 2101..2110
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2101
The Usoro family’s three thousand Shadow Guards and various descendants from the Usuro family branches were lined up neatly at the gate, waiting for Alex. Dozens of young boys and girls welcomed him warmly as they held flowers in their hands.
The grand ostentation and the astonishing scene shocked the entire Starborn City.
At this moment, countless Starborn City citizens were watching from afar, including the members of the Yggdrasill family. For instance, that third young lady, Khloe Yggdrasill, was standing in the crowd with a face veil.
She stared at the scene in disbelief. Countless citizens’ discussions filled her ears.
“The Usoro family has put tip such a great line-up. So who are they going to welcome?”
“Could it be the Plenilune Sect’s sect master?”
“Hehe, Plenilune Sect’s sect master already came here last year, but there wasn’t such a great line-up. It looks like the Usoro family must be sucking up to some big shot this time!”
“Have you guys forgotten? The Venom Widow brought three thousand Shadow Guards to crash the Yggdrasill family’s birthday banquet. I heard she even confiscated half of the Yggdrasill family’s wealth. Could it be related to this matter?”
Khloe frowned. Then, she let out a sneer. ‘Alex Rockefeller?’
‘He’s just trash living off women. How can he be related to such a great line-up ahead?’
‘It must be that cheap b*tch, Frostine Usoro. She must have hooked tip with trash and even annihilated her fiancé’s entire family. This kind of woman should be executed by drowning.’
Khloe’s resentment toward Frostine grew deeper. The reason for this was certainly because Frostine had slapped her yesterday and even said she was uglier than a toad.
Just then, several people arrived at Usoro Manor’s gate. She looked at them intently. ‘D*mn, aren’t they Frostine Usoro, Alex Rockefeller, and his daughter too?’
Meanwhile, she did not see Dory. Perhaps, Dory was not qualified to come to such an occasion.
However, Khloe still had an ominous foreboding. ‘Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. The Usoro family has put up such a great line-up just to welcome this trash. Won’t they become a laughing stock? They’re receiving Frostine Usoro’s paramour!’
‘Is the Usoro family out of their minds?’
‘The one they’re going to welcome couldn’t have been him. They just… Happen to walk in there.’
However, in the very next second, when Alex followed Frostine on the red carpet at Usoro Manor’s gate, fireworks roared, the three thousand Shadow Guards pointed their long spears to the sky as well as the young boys and girls cheered in unison…
“Welcome, Young Master!”
“Welcome, Young Miss!”
Boom!
Khloe’s mind went blank as if it had been bombarded.
‘Young master? That disabled person that trash is the Usoro family’s young master? This… is too shocking.’
At this moment, a deep regret surged in Khloe’s heart. She recalled that she was the one who had taken down that little girl from the tree. Yet, if she had treated him better and the Yggdrasill family had not forced him to surrender his property, it would have been a different situation.
Not only that, many dignitaries and members of great families in Starborn City also came over to Usoro Manor to give their gifts and congratulations. Khloe even saw the gifts that some people were holding looked very familiar.
‘Weren’t those gifts that they had planned to give to her grandmother yesterday?’
After they had taken back the gifts, they were sending them to the Usoro family now.
‘This bunch of b*stards!’
While hugging his daughter, Alex was astonished as he looked at Frostine. “Senior, this… What’s going on? How did I become the young master?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2102
“Hehehe…”
Frostine looked at Alex while feigning a mysterious smile. “Guess!”
Alex rolled his eyes.
How could he have guessed it? He could not even tell who the Usoro family’s patriarch was. Even if he specifically looked for an old man, there were at least dozens of old men in the massive crowd.
However, he soon saw the old man.
A silver-haired old man walked tip to him with a group of people. Then, at a distance of ten meters away, he suddenly fell to his knees and prostrated as he said, “I’m honored to welcome Young Master’s arrival!”
Buzz!
The onlooking citizens from Starborn City felt dumbfounded as they could not comprehend the situation for a moment. Then, everyone looked at Alex in surprise as countless questions popped up in their minds.
“Who the heck is this guy?”
“An existence that even the Usoro family’s patriarch has to kneel before? Could it be that he’s a Saint or Divine Heir sent from some ancient sects?”
“Rumor has it that this man previously appeared in Treasure Trove, and he was even a cripple. Everyone thought that he was a paramour whom the Venom Widow had found out there. From the way it looks now, it’s simply a bullsh*t. His legs are fine, and he’s even the Usoro family’s young master, so how could he be a paramour?”
Everyone had a different expression.
At this moment, Anais Matthew, who was standing along with the members of the Usoro family, had a pallid face. Previously, she had even begged her husband to think of ways to avenge her niece, Lily Octavia!
However, early in the morning today, the patriarch announced that he wanted to welcome the young master at the gate. Before this, she was astonished as she did not know the young master’s identity. Only now did she understand that it turned out to be this man.
Lily had even dared to offend a man that even her father-in-law had to fall to his knees. She must have had a death wish, right?
Anais was terrified, such that she almost fell to her knees.
‘Lily Octavia, you d*mned troll.’
Soon, the Usoro family welcomed Alex in.
The Usoro family forcibly held Alex, who was holding Bubbles, in the highest regard. Everyone in the group of surrounding people under him stared at him, making him embarrassed. But his daughter looked around with her big eyes as if she was trying to understand these people’s origins.
“Cough, cough. Old man, disperse these people!”
Alex waved his hand. Such a little line-up was enough to scare him. He would really feel uncomfortable being surrounded by so many onlookers.
Soon, the Usoro family members retreated one after another, leaving only Frostine and the patriarch, Abtal Usoro.
Then, Alex said, “Senior, can you tell me now what’s with this situation?”
Frostine said with a smile, “In fact, the matter is quite simple. Your father isn’t only my master, but he’s also a great benefactor of our Usoro family. Half a year ago, not long after Master had accepted me as his disciple, our Usoro family suffered a catastrophe. If Master hadn’t stepped in, our Usoro family would’ve been long annihilated.”
Abtal said with a nod, “That’s right, Young Master! Ever since that time, I’ve been treating your father as the savior of our lives. Everything in our Usoro family belongs to Master, including our lives!”
Alex was slightly touched. Never did he expect that the Usoro family’s old man’s determination would be so strong.
“Young Master, you don’t have any news about Master either?” Abtal asked.
“No.” Alex shook his head. “Well, it’s kind of funny. He had put on a great show by making a cunning getaway so that he could deceive me that he’s already dead. I have only managed to find out that he’s still alive with great difficulty. It’s been more than a year since the last time I saw him. I just came here this time by coincidence too.”
Abtal whispered, “I once heard that Master came from Wasteland, then Young Master…”
Alex was slightly surprised. “Do you all even know about this?”
After a pause, he nodded. “That’s right. I come from Wasteland too. But, Wasteland is about to lose its peace soon!”
“Junior, what’s the meaning of this?”
“It’s because of the Wasteland…”
Alex was about to continue his speech when a middle-aged man rushed in from outside the gate and said hurriedly, “Dad, something terrible has happened. The Yggdrasill family has barged in along with the people from the Plenilune Sect.”
The person who was approaching was none other than Abtal’s eldest son, Percival Usoro.
“Why would Plenilune Sect’s people come over?” Abtal was slightly puzzled.
Frostine said, “Dylan Yggdrasill’s daughter, Hermione Yggdrasill, has joined the Plenilune Sect, so she might have called the people over! It’s alright. The people that Hermione Yggdrasill can bring over shouldn’t have powerful abilities.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2103
Percival shook his head. “I’m afraid we’ll be in deep trouble this time.”
As soon as he said that…
Boom!
As a loud bang rang out, a stream of overwhelming, long sword light struck down from the sky above Usoro Manor, striking directly at the main building of Usoro Manor. It broke the fine building into halves.
“Abtal Usoro, you old coward! Get out now!”
“I’ve come to take your life.” An old man’s voice echoed in the sky.
Upon hearing it, Alex could tell that it was the Yggdrasill family’s patriarch, Shawn Yggdrasill.
At this moment, it was even more lively in front of Usoro Manor’s gate.
Previously, the crowd was here to watch the Usoro family welcoming the young master. It had been just a short ten minutes, but now, they were here to watch the Plenilune Sect beat up the Usoro family.
It was a dramatic turn of events, such that people could not comprehend the sudden change.
Moreover, the Plenilune Sect’s member who launched the attack this time was not an ordinary disciple. A golden condor was floating in mid-air above the sky of the gate while spreading its wings over tens of meters. An old man was sitting on it. It was none other than Hermione Yggdrasill’s master, the Plenilune Sect’s skill, passing elder, Ix Quint.
Meanwhile, fifty or so experts from the Plenilune Sect were stepping on the flying swords behind the golden condor. This line-up shocked Starborn City’s citizens.
To their surprise, the Yggdrasill family could gather so many Plenilune Sect experts. It was simply a remarkable ability.
***
“Patriarch! Patriarch, help!
“Save my child!”
A woman of about thirty years old rushed into the house where Alex and the others were. She was wearing a red gown with a flower around her neck while holding a little boy.
Alex remembered him. The little boy was there to welcome him at the gate earlier. He was six or seven years old at most.
But now, he was covered in blood. There was a deep wound with exposed bones from the shoulder to the abdomen. It was clear that the little boy had suffered a severe injury from the strike earlier.
When Frostine rushed over and took a look, her eyes were red-rimmed at once. She shook her head in grief. “Fourth Sister-in-law…”
The woman burst into tears right away.
Abtal was infuriated. “The Yggdrasill family and the Plenilune Sect shall be my sworn enemies.”
Just then, someone stretched his hand out and pressed on the little boy’s forehead, leaving a blood mark on it.
It was Alex. He had sealed the little boy’s soul using the blood-dripping soul sealing technique.
The agitated mother of the little boy pushed Alex away at once. “What are you doing? Don’t touch my child. All of this is because of you. If you hadn’t come to the Yggdrasill family, the Plenilune Sect wouldn’t have barged in here, and my child wouldn’t have died. It’s you. You’re the murderer of my child!”
Smack!
Abtal slapped the woman across the face hard.
He then roared angrily, “Nonsense! How dare you speak to Young Master like that?! You deserve to die for such a grave sin!”
The woman shouted, “You better beat me to death. Anyway, my son is dead, and I don’t want to live anymore. The Plenilune Sect has brought so many people today for revenge. The Usoro family is going to be eradicated today too!”
“You…” Abtal trembled with rage.
Alex said, “Your son is not dead yet. I can save him.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2104
Alex’s words extinguished the woman’s anger at once.
She kneeled before Alex with a thud. “Is it true? I beg you. Save my son right now. As long as my son can come back to life, you can make me do anything.”
“Prepare a single room for me. Then, when I am saving him later, no one can come in and disturb me.”
While talking, Alex looked at Frostine and Abtal. “Senior, old man, the Yggdrasill family has come over with so many experts. Can you guys hold them off?”
Abtal said, “It won’t be a problem for fifteen minutes.”
Alex nodded. “Fine, fifteen minutes is enough. Just stall them as long as you can!”
Alex picked up the little boy without letting go of his daughter Bubbles. He turned around and followed Frostine into a room.
“Junior, is it alright for you to bring along your daughter?” Frostine asked. She wanted to help him hold the child.
Alex shook his head. “I need my daughter’s help to save him, okay?”
Frostine was puzzled.
Alex did not explain much. “Stand guard outside. No one is allowed to come close.”
He banged the door shut.
Frostine could not see the situation inside, and she still had a limited understanding of Alex.
However, Alex had repaired her energy core issue in a short time, so she had an almost blind trust and… Adoration in him!
Therefore, when the Fourth Sister-in-law asked uncertainly, “He… he can save my son?”
Frostine then said with a firm expression, “Don’t worry. He can definitely do it.”
When the Yggdrasill family standing outside the gate did not see Abtal getting out at this moment, they instantly flew into a rage. Shawn shouted at the top of his lungs, “Old coward Usoro, you’re so timid that you don’t even dare to come out, do you? I’ll count to three. If you still don’t get out by then, we’ll barge in. You’ll only have yourself to blame when it ends in a bloodbath later.”
“One!”
“Two…”
As a result, before he counted to three, Elder Quint standing on the golden condor, said impatiently, “Why do we need so much nonsense? Just wipe out the Usoro family right away!”
Upon hearing it, Shawn naturally dared not refute his words at all. So, he hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes. Everything will be done as per your arrangement.”
Elder Quint waved his hand. “Disciples of the Plenilune Sect, heed my order! Blow up this d*mned door first. Then, slaughter the people inside and spare no one!”
“Yes, sir!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the fifty or so Plenilune Sect disciples maneuvered the flying swords and rushed to the ground before standing in a row. The sect mainly emphasized the flying sword, so every disciple was a flying sword cultivator.
At this moment, the fifty or so crisscrossed streams of sword light attacked Usoro Manor’s gate at once. The ferocious, terrifying aura shifted the expressions of onlookers.
The veiled Khloe was standing behind the Plenilune Sect disciples. No one could see the expression on her face, but at this moment, one could tell from the look in her eyes that she had recovered her sense of superiority.
‘Alex Rockefeller? Young master? You didn’t want to be used by the Yggdrasill family, so what’s the result? You’re about to die soon. Are you happy now?’
As for the rest of Starborn City’s onlookers, some were standing far away on the streets, some were standing on the tall buildings, and some with a relatively high cultivation base were floating in mid-air. They all watched from afar, sighing only in their minds…
“He had his glorious moment just now, yet he has had his day in the blink of an eye.”
“What a surprise. No one would have thought that the curtain would fall on the first family of Starborn City in this way.”
“That young master is quite pitiful. He just came here, only to encounter a catastrophe!”
Inside the mansion of Usoro Manor, Frostine frowned hard when she saw the surging sword light over the gate. “Dad, can we hold them off?”
“I’m not afraid of them! ” Abtal looked at her boldly. “Isn‘t it just the Plenilune Sect? Do they want to destroy the Usoro family with these few people? What wishful thinking!”
Immediately afterward, he rushed and roared, “Shadow Guards, the time to play your role has come! Follow me to kill the people out there!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The great battle began.
Elder Quint floated high in the sky and sneered. “What a bunch of useless people who don’t know their limitations!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2105
He took out a gourd and shook it violently. In that instant, hundreds of streams of sword light rushed out of the gourd and attacked the crowd in the blink of an eye.
The Shadow Guards suffered heavy casualties wherever the invincible sword light with imposing murderous aura went.
“For the family!”
“Defend the Usoro family with all your might!”
The Usoro family was stunned upon witnessing such a scene.
“Ahh-!”
“How can this happen? What’s that magical treasure?”
Even Abtal did not expect that the magical gourd of a treasure in the hand of the Plenilune Sect’s Elder Quint would be so powerful. If it were just the fifty or so Plenilune Sect disciples, the three thousand Shadow Guards would not be scared and even have an overwhelming advantage. However, hundreds of streams of sword light rushed out of his gourd at once, and each stream’s power was no weaker than a disciple from the Plenilune Sect. This was too terrifying.
“Dad, this guy’s magical treasure is too strong! We can’t hold it off!” Percival Usoro roared.
“We still have to hold it off even if we can‘t do so. Young Master is still inside the house. We mustn’t let anything happen to Young Master.” Abtal’s eyes widened in anger.
He also had a magical treasure on him, but it was weak compared to Elder Quint’s, and the sword light shattered it right away. He even spat a mouthful of blood. “Frostine, immediately take Young Master and leave through the back door. Don’t delay for a moment.”
Frostine watched her people and subordinates massacred by the Plenilune Sect‘s Elder Quint.
They fell one by one like harvested wheat. She was heartbroken.
However, she knew that she could not step forward to help them kill the enemies. The most important thing now was to get Alex out of this place. She stomped her foot fiercely and rushed into the room at once.
***
Alex, who was curing the little boy in the single room, did not know the situation outside because the life-saving art he cast was a mystic art that could bring the dead back to life.
During this period, he had to borrow the power of divinity from his daughter’s body.
Hence, when he cast the mystic art, he had casually set up a force field to prevent outsiders from barging in. As a result…
Bang!
Frostine could not get into the room, but she retreated a few steps after being shocked by a layer of strange energy.
‘What? There’s a force field?!’
Frostine knew about force fields, but she did not know how to set up one on her own. Hence, she was astonished.
She knew that one’s cultivation base had to reach the Spirit Severing stage to set up a force field. However, she sensed that Alex didn’t seem to possess any cultivation base. Moreover, even if he had any cultivation base, his level definitely would not be high. So then, how did he set up the force field?
“Junior, Junior, it’s an emergency. You don’t have to save the child. Senior will take you and leave right now! Hurry up, or else it’d be too late.”
Unable to get into the room after trying several times, Frostine could only shout outside the door.
Alex felt the collision from the force field after he had just replanted the little boy’s soul. When he heard Frostine’s words afterward, he was astonished…
‘She wants me to give up on saving the child? What’s going on? It’s only been a few minutes. Could it be that the Usoro family can’t hold them off?’
He was slightly puzzled.
It was because he had seen the Shadow Guards’ strength. They were pretty good.
As for the people from the Plenilune Sect, he had sensed it for a while earlier. He felt that their cultivation base was not high, and they were no match for those several Flying Eagles subordinates under Jade Benmore. So it should not be a huge problem if the Usoro family were to confront them.
After removing the force field and walking out to take a look, he was immediately stunned. In the very next second, a surge of endless rage welled up in his chest.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2106
When Frostine saw Alex coming out after opening the door, she immediately pulled his arm. “Junior, come with me quickly! Senior will protect you! Go, go, go!”
“Ah! There’s lil’ Bubbles too!”
She rushed into the room and picked up Bubbles. As for her nephew, she did not go to take a look at him. She did not dare to look at him. She could not bear to look at him as well.
It was because the time was too short, and she was interrupted by herself.
She thought that her little nephew would not be able to survive for sure.
At this moment, she heard Alex’s words. “Take care of my daughter!”
“What?”
“Junior…”
Frostine ran out and took a look To her surprise, she found Alex was rushing toward the place with the densest sword light from the gourd.
‘What is he trying to do by rushing there? Does he have a death wish?’
“Junior, come back! It’s dangerous over there! Don’t go there! Come back! Come back right away!”
Frostine broke out in a cold sweat, and her entire back instantly became wet. She, who was holding Bubbles, was about to chase after him. However, seeing the countless powerful sword lights and the sword lights killing the Usoro family members one by one, Frostine immediately stopped in her tracks again.
She could go there, but her j unior’s daughter wouldn’t survive!
When Abtal, Percival, and the others saw Alex rushing over at a breakneck speed, they were all shocked. Abtal roared, “Young Master, go back! Go back! Go!”
Percival also shouted, “Hurry up and go! Go as far as possible! Don’t let the Usoro family’s sacrifice be in vain!”
Alex understood it. The Usoro family chose to fight to the death for him alone. What great righteousness and deep loyalty!
To Alex’s surprise, after experiencing countless betrayals and backstabbing in America, he felt an incomparably precious loyalty in the Usoro family. But, unfortunately, these people would rather let the Usoro family be annihilated to fight for his survival.
Then, he could not even stand there and watch these people continue dying.
He did not stop. Instead, he ran even faster. Along the way, he saw the collapsed house and the fallen Usoro family members’ corpses.
It had ended in a bloodbath! He regretted it!
If he had rushed out from the beginning, it would not have resulted in such a bloodbath like now.
But, instead, he stared at Elder Quint standing on the golden condor and said in a cold voice filled with murderous intent, “You deserve to die!”
When Shawn saw Alex, he immediately shouted, “Elder Quint, it’s this brat. This brat is the culprit of the entire incident!”
Khloe looked at Alex. She saw the expression on Alex’s face; rage, murderous intent, strong confidence, and determination to kill, but there was no fear.
‘What’s wrong with him?’
‘Has he lost his mind?’
‘How can he still have such a strong confidence when facing the Plenilune Sect’s Elder Quint, who could even wipe out the three thousand Shadow Guards instantly?’
Elder Quint smiled scornfully and patted on the gourd. Then, a stream of bloody sword light soared into the sly and instantly shot at Alex.
It seemed that the sword was coming from the void. It was extremely fast. And even emanated a boundless murderous intent.
“Young Master, be careful!”
“Junior, dodge it quickly!”
Abtal immediately rushed over, trying to save Alex.
However, it was too late.
The stream of bloody sword light that looked like an otherworldly meteor instantly pierced Alex’s glabella.
Boom!
Frostine felt that her mind was about to explode upon witnessing this scene.
Her eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and her expression became ferocious as well. As the Nine Tails bloodline flowed in her body vigorously, the Nine Tails phantoms couldn’t help but appear behind her…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2107
There were phantoms of three tails behind her.
The Nine Tails was an ancient race of mythical creatures. Of course, not every Nine Tails possessed nine tails, but only the Nine Tails with the highest cultivation level would have nine tails. According to the current cultivation level, Frostine’s Nine Tails bloodline was still far from possessing the nine tails, but it was incredible to have the three tails’ phantoms.
Regardless of all costs, she was about to rush over. However, she suddenly froze.
Alex did not collapse because of that, but he continued rushing forward without slowing down at all. It seemed that the sword earlier was utterly ineffective on him.
“This… How is this possible?
“The sword has pierced his mind palace. How can he still be alive? It’s really absurd!”
Shawn, Dylan, and Khloe all seemed to be in disbelief. Even the astonished Elder Quint let out an ‘Eek!’.
How could he not die?
The gourd in his hand was called the Hidden Sword Gourd, where 365 powerful flying swords were hidden inside it. Elder Quint could not maneuver all of them even with his current cultivation base. He could only handle 108 of them at most, but even so, it was already incredibly powerful.
Especially the sword that he had just shot at Alex had a sword name, Witstealer!
It was an existence where its destructive power ranked third among the 108 swords that he could control. Logically, Alex’s soul would have long disappeared by now after the sword had pierced his mind palace.
Yet, he was unexpectedly fine?
‘Humph, if one sword fails, I’ll use two swords then!’ Elder patted on the gourd hard.
At this moment, the gourd spat two streams of light at Alex in unison again. They pierced Alex’s mind palace, just like the previous flying sword.
Whoosh!
The sword light entered the glabella and… Disappeared.
Meanwhile, Alex still did not slow down.
“F*ck, that’s three swords!”
“What’s going on?”
The onlookers floating in the air could not help but shout. It would really drive them crazy if they did not shout after seeing such a bizarre scene.
All the Yggdrasill family members’ eyes widened. It was the same for the Usoro family.
Elder Quint was infuriated.
“Fine!”
“Brat, you’re quite skilled. I’ll shower you with everything then!”
Elder Quint, standing on the golden condor, suddenly turned the gourd’s mouth upside down and roared. The one hundred or so sword light that was still killing enemies out there earlier instantly flew back. But then, they turned into a stream of flitting sword light, and all the 105 streams of sword light launched an attack on Alex.
“Let’s see if you can take all my 105 extreme sword lights!”
“Die!”
However, under the countless people’s dumbfounded gaze, all the one hundred or so sword light crashed into Alex’s body. Then, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they were gone forever.
“Godd*mmit…”
Elder Quint could not help but swear. To his surprise, this brat had absorbed all the 108 streams of sword light. Was he some sword-devouring monster?
Never did he expect that the Chaos Tree in Alex’s mind palace had absorbed all the flying swords in his Hidden Sword Gourd. Instead, all the 108 swords of different styles were hung on the Chaos Tree’s branches, motionless.
Well, the Chaos Tree could already absorb its enemies’ magical treasures before it had grown into the towering tree. That sect elder’s flying sword in front of Nature’s Palace back then was a great magical treasure as well.
Eventually, Alex had taken it away with ease. Now, the Chaos Tree was a hundred times stronger than before, so absorbing the 108 swords was only a walk in the park!
At this moment, Alex rushed to the area below the golden condor.
Looking up, it was the golden condor’s belly.
“I’ve taken so many hits from your swords. It’s rude not to respond in kind. You should try to take a blow from my sword too!”
As Alex spread his arm, the Sword of the Universe appeared in his hand. With the surging Chi in the golden core, he swung the sword hard and made a flying slash in mid-air, hitting right at the golden condor and Elder Quint, who was on it.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2108
Alex’s sword-wielding was not particularly fast.
From top to bottom, many people identified the sword’s trajectory. Some people were greatly disappointed at once.
From the sword-devouring stance earlier, he seemed like an omnipotent master. But now, he simply looked like some weak old man when they saw him unleashing his sword so slowly. Was he looking down upon the opponent?
If the Plenilune Sect’s elder could not even dodge the slash, he should commit suicide by slicing his throat for an apology.
Abtal and his several sons made eye contact. They, too, felt that Alex’s sword-wielding would not be effective.
However, no matter what method Alex used, now that Elder Quint’s magical treasure had temporarily disappeared because of him, this was the crucial moment to make a counterattack.
“Kill!”
“Kill all those disciples from the Plenilune Sect first!” Abtal roared.
The Usoro family had now suffered heavy casualties. They were equivalent to having completely fallen out with the Plenilune Sect. They would fight them to the death seriously without martial ethics.
“Humph!”
At this moment, Elder Quint on the golden condor snorted coldly.
He paid no attention to Alex’s sword slash at all. Then, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly found out that he could not move and had lost control of his limbs completely, as if his entire body and the golden condor under his feet were frozen in mid-air.
It also seemed that surrounding space kept squeezing his body.
‘This is… The spatial force field?’ Elder Quint was terrified. He saw Alex’s sword getting closer.
Since he could only move his mouth, he let out an earth-shattering roar.
Whoosh!
The sword pierced the sky.
Alex’s sword light carried some kind of unstoppable aura and a rush of the mysterious power of the ancient forbidden spell… However, what was truly powerful was the Prison Domain that it inflicted the moment he swung the sword.
It was right. It was a domain. It was not a force field!
Under all the people’s dumbfounded gaze, Elder Quint and the golden condor did not perform any evasion while facing Alex’s sword, as if they were stationary objects suspended in the air. Instead, Elder Quint made a scream at most.
The golden condor died in a sword’s slash.
Elder Quint died as well. Blood spurted all over.
Khloe’ s mouth was agape. Never did she imagine that it would end like this. But, that was the Plenilune Sect’s Elder Quint, her second sister’s master. Alex had killed him with a sword’s slash. Wasn’t he a cripple? Alright, now he had regrown his legs, but where did he acquire the strength to kill Elder Quint?
Impossible! Impossible! This could not have been true!
Khloe refused to believe it and felt extremely upset.
The Usoro family was astonished too but more uplifted. In contrast, the Plenilune Sect’s disciples, fighting against Abtal and the others, shuddered in fear. Now that the strongest Elder Quint had been killed, how could minions like them defeat the enemies?
Soon, someone turned around to run away.
Even now, several flying swords soared to the sky and rushed in the Plenilune Sect’s direction.
“It’s the Plenilune Sect’s distress call using the flying swords!”
Some knowledgeable onlookers shouted.
The flying swords for the distress call flew rapidly. Then, they disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Abtal frowned, and his heart skipped a beat.
Since the Plenilune Sect’s flying swords for the distress call had flown out, then the Plenilune Sect’s experts would probably come over soon, right?
After all, the distance between the Plenilune Sect and Starborn City was not huge.
Soon, after leaving behind the thirty or so corpses, the remaining disciples from the Plenilune Sect rushed out of Starborn City and made a getaway.
Percival and the others even wanted to chase after those people, but Abtal stopped them.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2109
He immediately turned around and charged toward Alex. “Young Master… ”
He found that Alex was closing his eyes as if he was feeling something sentimental.
Alex only opened his eyes after a while. After looking at the sky, a faint feeling surged in his heart…
After half a year’s silence, his cultivation base seemed to be about to have a breakthrough soon. When he thought about it, his eyes brimmed with tears of excitement. Ever since he walked the cultivation path, it had been smooth sailing for him. He had only spent a few short months to achieve the Core Formation stage from the Chi Refinement stage. However, ever since he had acquired the ancient forbidden spell…
‘Z, G, N, Y, E, B, J, I, H, K, D, W!’
Alex felt that the ancient forbidden spell had dragged him down. His cultivation base had been stuck at Peak-Core Formation, yet he could not break through it no matter what. Now, even Phoebe Larsen had a better cultivation base than him!
‘Am I going to have a breakthrough finally? It will probably be within these few days!’
Just as Alex thought about it, Abtal hurriedly said, “Young Master, the Plenilune Sect’s flying swords for distress call have flown back. Their sect’s experts will come soon for sure. We can no longer stay here in Starborn City. We have to leave right now.”
After looking at the ground full of blood and corpses, a sense of deep remorse surged in Alex.
If it weren’t for him, the Yggdrasill family would not have sought the people from the Plenilune Sect to come over for a killing spree.
“It’s okay to leave, but some revenge needs to be exacted!” Alex’s heart welled up with malice.
At first, he was forced to leave his home. He had a narrow escape in the Undying Clan’s territory, and his one month old daughter following him had to suffer. But after coming here, he still had to endure the Yggdrasill family’s persecution.
Did they think he was easy to bully?
Abtal immediately understood Alex’s intention. He had an immense resentment toward the Yggdrasill family as well.
The Usoro family had been developing in Starborn City for many years. However, now that they had offended the Plenilune Sect, they could only abandon their family business and escape.
But how could he let the Yggdrasill family off the hook?
“All the members of the Usoro family, heed my order! Eliminate the Yggdrasill family and avenge our dead people!”
“Kill! ”
As the saying went, “The oppressed will rise to win.”
Many members of the Usoro family had died. Their murderous intent fueled by hatred alone was a level higher than the Yggdrasill family. Moreover, they even had Alex’s help.
He scattered a handful of paper dolls.
“Three Realms Decree, heed my words, heed my words, little demon, bind!”
Although the Paper Doll Curse of Three Realms had poor combat power, it had a decent ability to interfere with the enemies. In addition, the Usoro family’s strength had initially been stronger than the Yggdrasill family.
Under Starborn City citizens’ horrified expressions, the battle ended up in a lopsided massacre.
***
The Yggdrasill family brought destruction upon themselves. After Kavan had brought over Elder Quint and the fifty or so sect experts from the Plenilune Sect, the Yggdrasills felt that the victory was within their grasp, and the Usoro family’s destruction was already cast in stone. So how could the Yggdrasill family not head over to witness the scene?
Only the Yggdrasill family’s presence at the scene could highlight their Yggdrasill family’s background before the Starborn City citizens.
After the destruction of the Usoro family, the Yggdrasill family’s status would naturally rise, and they would become the most prominent family in Starborn City. Wouldn’t they be able to do whatever they want in Starborn City in the future?
However, never did they expect that the people from the Plenilune Sect would die just like that!
Shawn watched as the Yggdrasill family died one by one under the hands of the Usoro family, who had been killing non-stop. He was heartbroken and deeply regretful.
When he saw his eldest son, Dylan, die under the hands of the Usoro family, he trembled violently and spat a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Abtal was about to stab Shawn in the heart with his sword.
“Ah!”
Shawn looked extremely haggard with his messy hair. When he saw Abtal’s incoming sword, it was too late for him to dodge it.
When he saw that he would die under the sword, a feathered arrow broke through the air and came over at this moment, hitting Abtal’s sword with a clang.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2110
The entire arrow was black. There were red feathers on its fletching too.
After colliding with the sword in Abtal’s hand, a burst of extremely powerful Chi exploded, causing Abtal to take five steps back. Only then did he manage to stop in tracks, leaving five deep footprints on the ground.
Every footprint had a depth of several dozen centimeters. The unique masonry next to him shattered as well.
“The Red-feath ered Black Heart Arrow!”
Abtal, who had stabilized himself, looked in astonishment in the direction from where the feathered arrow had flown, deep fear clear in his eyes. “The great Protector of the Governor’s Residence has made his move. Young Master, hurry up and leave!”
Just then, a voice from afar drew closer. “Leave? You people have killed the Plenilune Sect’s Elder Quint and thirty or so disciples in Starborn City, yet you still wish to leave? Do you really think the Governor’s Residence is just for show?”
When the voice first rang out, it was still in the far east of the city.
The person was already in front of him after finishing the sentence.
It was a middle-aged man in a gray robe who looked to be in his early forties.
To Alex’s surprise, he could not see through the man’s cultivation base. ‘It’s neither Spirit Severing nor Tribulation Crossing. Could it be… Immortalization stage or above?’
Looking at the incoming man, Alex was shocked.
When he was in America, his master, Jade, had told him that the rules of heaven and earth on Earth were flawed, so it was impossible to achieve the Immortalization stage unless one could consume the Colossal Cultivation Pill. However, concocting the Colossal Cultivation Pill was not an easy task
The main ingredient, the Wisdom Fruit, alone was something that could only be found serendipitously.
‘Could it be that this person has consumed the Colossal Cultivation Pill and then achieved the Immortalization stage?’
Just as Alex thought about that, Shawn hurriedly got up from the ground and hid behind the middle-aged man. He was overwrought yet grateful as he said, “Mr. East, save me! Save my Yggdrasill family! My granddaughter Hermione Yggdrasill is now the Plenilune Sect’s core disciple and has acquired the Goddess’ Legacy. Even the Plenilune Sect’s sect master wishes to take her as a disciple. She will be the leading figure of the Plenilune Sect in the future. Mr. East, if you help me this time, the Plenilune Sect will definitely thank you with great rewards.”
“The Goddess’ Legacy?” Charioce East froze for a moment, but obviously, there was a fleeting passion in his eyes.
“That’s right. It’s the Goddess’ Legacy, and it’s even from a living goddess.”
“…”
This time, Charioce East was even more surprised. However, he immediately nodded. “Don’t worry. Starborn City is under the Plenilune Sect’s territory. Since the Usoro family has killed the people from the Plenilune Sect, then that’d be a rebellion, treason. Of course, I’ll protect your Yggdrasill family.”
As soon as he said that, Abtal’s expression abruptly changed.
He hurriedly contacted Alex via telepathy. “Young Master, quickly take the young lady and leave Starborn City. The sooner, the better! I’ll hold him off here, so I can buy Young Master a bit more time. Otherwise, all of us will die!”
Alex was slightly anxious as well. This great Protector was unfathomable, and he was a little unconfident too. However, he could not bear to stand there and watch the Usoro family sacrifice their entire family for his sake.
“Old man, this incident started because of me. I’m sorry for dragging the Usoro family into this situation, but I can’t let your Usoro family be annihilated for my sake!”
“Senior, help me take care of Bubbles. You guys leave quickly!” he said the latter sentence to Frostine through telepathy.
Frostine naturally refused to do so.
Alex said, “Don’t worry. of course, I’ll have my chance to escape, but I won’t be able to take care of you all. Hurry up and go! This is an order!”
Abtal was an outstanding individual, so he knew that Alex was right. He immediately obeyed Alex’s arrangement
However, Charioce seemed to have realized the Usoro family’s movement. In a brief moment, he had constructed a force field and said indifferently, “Abtal Usoro, don’t waste your efforts. You people can’t escape. Wait for the Plenilune Sect’s members to deal with you people!”
Once the force field appeared, a layer of gray barrier appeared in the vast expanse of sky above Usoro Manor. Those people from the Usoro family instantly found that they had been trapped inside the force field and could not get out
In an instant, all of those people turned pale. Even Abtal was a bit panicked.
He said to Charioce, “Mr. East, please spare the Usoro family. I’ll give all the Usoro family’s properties to Mr. East. What do you think?”
