Chapter 931
Chapter 931 Taking Duncan Hostage
In an instant, Gideon’s top burst open, revealing a gleaming, black and gold armor underneath–the Shadowguard Armor.
However, within a split second, this seemingly indestructible armor melted away astonishingly.
There was no mistake. It truly did melt away.
No cracks were formed, and no signs of shattering occurred. Instead, the armor all melted. away in an instant, as if its molecular
structure had broken down, vanishing into thin air.
That was merely the power of Emrys‘ fist.
Moreover, after dissolving the Shadowguard Armor, the residual force of the punch unleashed a massive impact on Gideon’s
chest, causing it to cave in before his body crashed. heavily onto the ground.
Bang!
From the spot where Gideon fell, the concrete ground cracked in all directions, resembling at spider web..
Gasp!
Shock spread across Logan and the others, causing their hearts to skip a beat.
Their astonishment was different from that of the ordinary people around them.
To the average person, the battles between cultivators were inherently mind–blowing. As if they were watching a superhero
blockbuster, they were thrilled from beginning to end.
However, some of the details would escape their notice.
Only cultivators like Logan truly understood the terrifying power behind Emrys‘ punch.
The previous confrontation with Gideon was already a devastating spectacle, with buildings collapsing and the ground shattering.
However, it failed to make even the slightest crack in Gideon’s Shadowguard Armor.
While Emrys’s punch might not have been as visually impressive as their previous encounters, it was powerful enough to make
Gideon’s Shadowguard Armor vanish into thin.
This guy’s a freak to be able to annihilate an absolute–phase Golden Elixir Stage cultivator with just a single punch!
I omn and the other quero torlu hamified
At that moment, Emrys‘ anger hadn’t subsided, as he saw Gideon, who had fallen to the ground, still twitching. The latter clung
for lie tenaciously, which also demonstrated the remarkable durability of the Shadowguard Armor.
As it was time to deal the final blow, Emrys descended from the sky, ready to end Gideon’s life and redeem himself for the
innocent lives lost.
However...
“Emrys! How dare you lay a finger on my godfather!”
Suddenly, a delicate shout echoed from afar. Emrys caught sight of the source from the corner of his eye, and his face instantly
darkened. He forcefully halted his descending figure.
Celena emerged, holding Duncan hostage. An ice sword was pressed against Duncan drawing a cut that bled.
When Apricot Hall collapsed previously, it almost claimed Duncan’s life. At the critical moment, it was Celena who pulled him out.
Of course, this wasn’t a sudden act of kindness. from Celena, but rather because she believed that Duncan was still useful.
Just as expected, he had come in handy now.
“Hahaha... My dear goddaughter, you’ve done well...”
While blood trickled from Gideon’s mouth, he couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly. His chest had caved in deeply, yet it didn’t
hinder him from slowly crawling to Celena’s side and struggling to stand upright.
Logan frowned, saying, “Miss, why do this? Gideon has gone mad and is no longer tolerated. in Mount Kushburn. Why insist on
making the same mistake?”
“I’m not making a mistake!”
Celena said vehemently, “If I don’t do this, I will surely be the next one to die! He would never let me off the hook!”
Emrys‘ ruthless nature was something Celena had experienced before. Once he had dealt with Gideon, he would inevitably
question Logan about how they had discovered their location. At that point, how could he possibly let Celena off the hook?
Can I really escape given how terrifyingly powerful Emrys‘ is?
Thus, it would be better for her to save Gideon. At least she would have one more person on her side.
Moreover, Celena had another reason for doing so.
She remained still, her gaze fixed on Emrys, silently hoping that he would respond to her. All. she wanted was for him to offer to
let her go as long as she freed Duncan.
Unfortunately, no reply was forthcoming..
Emrys‘ expression remained as cold and unfeeling as always.
Immediately, Celena’s heart sank.
“Haha, Emrys... No, I should be addressing you as Empyrean Lord now. Empyrean Lord, I’ve heard that you’re benevolent and
kind, someone this insignificant insect worships. So, you must surely care about his life, right?”
