“Speak! Why are you silent now? Weren’t you shouting happily just a moment ago?” Stout dodged attacks while shouting loudly.
After a wave of attacks, the elder spat out blood, his aura in disarray. Despite inhaling only two breaths of poison, he was still affected. Clearly, Stout’s Secret Essences creation, the Condensed Fragrance Powder, developed over two months, was extraordinary.
“How does it feel?” Stout smirked.
The elder, with weakened reactions and struggling to breathe, dashed aside, realizing staying put would lead to doom.
“You think you can escape after falling for my Condensed Fragrance Powder?” Stout grinned and unleashed a fierce attack.
Boom!
The powerful force struck the elder, sending him flying, crashing through trees before finally stopping.
Though injured, the elder could breathe. However, before he could rise, Stout caught up.
Without hesitation, Stout struck with a powerful palm. The Elder’s attempt to dodge failed, and he helplessly witnessed the strike hitting his chest. The formidable force shattered bones, blood flowing from his mouth.
“Elder Ayton!” Another Peak War Emperor rushed to save the elder.
“Too late!” Stout sneered, launching another attack, ending the elder’s life.
“No…!” the Elder cried out.
Stout’s palm hit his heart hard, and a cloud of blood mist spurted out. Then the old man paralyzed on the ground and twitched a few times and then completely stopped moving.
“Elder!” The arriving man cried out in grief, glaring at Stout. “I’ll skin you alive!”
Without a word, Stout swiftly launched silver needles.
Surprised, the man tried to evade, but Stout anticipated, sending a gust of wind to knock him away.
Without pause, Stout closed in again.
Simultaneously, Black Tortoise faced two opponents, struggling against their coordinated attacks.
“He’s on his last legs! Finish him!” The elder in the pinnacle realm shouted.
“Kill!” The female warrior responded, her whip lashing with a cold gleam.
“You dream of killing me!” Warrior Tortoise retorted, meeting the whip with a blade.
Boom!
Their clash created shockwaves, and the female warrior slid back, nearly losing her whip. Meanwhile, the elder’s fist hit Warrior Tortoise’s left arm, causing him to cough blood and stumble.
“Submit!” The elder, relentless, prepared for a finishing punch.
“Arrogant!” Black Tortoise spat blood, activating Bloodshadow Blade Technique. However, in his current state, he can only display 70% to 80% of the power of the Bloodshadow Blade Technique at most.
After the two of them fought hard, Black Tortoise took seven or eight steps back again. The cement floor under his feet cracked like a spider web, and blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth. The old man on the other side took several big steps back under the impact of the Bloodshadow Blade Technique, and felt a numb feeling in his arm.
“Go down!” The elder, undeterred, launched a ferocious punch.
“Sorry, but you’re the one who’s going down. See you in the next life!” Black Tortoise grinned, standing firm.
“Huh?” Perceiving Black Tortoise’s calm demeanor, the elder’s eye twitched inexplicably. Turning to look aside, dread filled him, as a thunderous sword strike swiftly ended his life.
“Thanks, Ivy!” Back Tortoise smiled at Ivy Chandler, who had approached.
Clearly, he had noticed her approach, maintaining composure.
“Are you okay?” Ivy Chandler inquired, offering a healing pill.
Her being able to come here meant that the three sub-leaders of Sanctum of Darkness who had just become War God-Emperors had died.
“I’m fine, just minor injuries. It’s normal from past battles with boss.” Black Tortoise grinned.
“Even in this state, you call it minor injuries!” Ivy Chandler retorted.
Handing him a healing pill, she said, “Take this!”
“Thanks, Ivy!” Black Tortoise smiled, taking the pill.
“Rest and recover. I’ll handle the rest,” Ivy Chandler said, turning towards the ongoing battle.
With her joining, the opponents of Azure Fang and Stout had no chance, all falling under her swift sword. Within minutes, including Stout’s foes, all high-ranking forces of Sanctum of Darkness above the War Emperor level lay defeated.
“Azure Fang, let me check your injuries,” Ivy Chandler said, walking towards Azure Fang with a hint of concern on her face.
