**Boom!** Weapons clashed, bright energy collided! Sean, whose base state was inherently inferior to King Ron, was now fighting like a mad dog, knowing that death was imminent. Even in his weakened state, he still managed to gain the upper hand!
**Thump!** The next moment, Sean spat out a mouthful of blood, pushed back by a blow from King Ron’s sword. His organs rolled incessantly; his body was flung into the air, plummeting from the sky!
**Bang!** While King Ron was focused on Sean, Cecilia, like a ghost, circled to King Ron’s back without hesitation. She struck a powerful punch, wrapped in bright energy, hard on King Ron’s back!
Two against one! As King Ron attacked, he had no time to defend!
Therefore, he pushed Sean back with a swing of his sword, but took a punch from Cecilia. He was trading injury for injury, life for life. The reason he targeted Sean was naturally to drag Sean to death with him!
As long as he could kill Sean before Cecilia killed him, then none of the three of them would survive! For him, if he could take Sean and Cecilia, two Bright Realm practitioners, with him to the grave, trading one life for two, it would be worth it!!!
**Thump!** Without any suspense or surprise, the might of Cecilia’s punch was extraordinary. King Ron was also forced to vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot. With a muffled grunt, he fell from the sky!
However, King Ron had anticipated this outcome. He didn’t choose to turn back and deal with Cecilia, but instead, with the momentum of Cecilia’s punch, he chased after Sean with his sword while falling!
His only target was to kill Sean!
Kill Sean!
Kill Sean!!!
Sean’s bloodline was powerful, his talent astonishing. If he didn’t die today, the entire Shirine Empire might fall into his hands in the future!
Even if Roscoe had betrayed him, at least Roscoe was his son! His own flesh and blood!
Therefore, he would rather let the throne fall into Roscoe’s hands than let the kingdom be threatened by Sean!!!
“Little thief!”
“Die!!!”
Before Sean could fall to the ground, King Ron had already chased after him with a murderous aura. His eyes, filled with boundless killing intent, looked at Sean. He raised the Sword of Emperor and stabbed it mercilessly towards Sean’s heart!
This sword stroke, using all of King Ron’s remaining strength, could be said to be the last one he could ever thrust in his life!
After this sword, death was inevitable!
Therefore, Sean tried hard to stabilize his body. His cold eyes also burst out with a fearless ambition. He gritted his teeth and roared, “King Ron, you old dog, our grievances will end with this blow!!!”
Just as their words fell, under the gaze of Roscoe and thousands of guards, King Ron’s sword aimed at Sean’s heart, and Sean’s blade pointed at King Ron’s core!
Both were filled with robust bright energy, full of rage, full of determination to die, full of conviction to kill. They aimed at each other’s vital points, at each other’s death point, and stabbed hard!
Moreover, Sean didn’t dodge! King Ron didn’t dodge either!
As if they had reached some tacit agreement, or perhaps, neither of them had the strength to thrust a second sword or a second blade!
Therefore, they both gave up on defense!
Attack!
Attack!
Attack!!!
The only thought in their minds was to attack, to make the killing of the opponent the only goal, regardless of their own life and death. They had no time to care about that!
As long as the other party is killed! That’s enough!
**Whoosh!**
**Whoosh!**
**Whoosh!**
Just at this critical moment, three breaking sounds suddenly came from the distance, accompanied by three hysterical shouts: “Mr Mason!”
“Boss!”
“Boss!!!”
It was Tim Lewis, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf, who had returned after sending Julia and Phyllis away!
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf were heavily injured, their speed considerably reduced. Tim Lewis, however, was like a bolt of lightning, pushing his speed to the extreme. His momentum was like a thunderbolt, fast as lightning. Within the blink of an eye, he flew over the heads of thousands of imperial guards, heading straight towards Sean and King Ron!
Upon seeing this, the thousands of imperial guards erupted into chaos!
Nevertheless, Roscoe and Luna Porter exchanged glances but did not order to stop him!
Fast!
Faster!
Even faster!!!
Tim Lewis was practically risking his life. When he was still a hundred meters away from Sean and King Ron, he used his dark energy, clenched his right fist, preparing to strike King Ron!
Alas!
How unfortunate!!!
Tim Lewis, after all, was only a Complete Stage cultivator. He had come from outside the imperial city and was too far away. Even if he was extremely fast, he was still not faster than Bright Realm cultivators like Sean and King Ron!
He was a step behind!
More than just one step behind!!!
Too late!
Way too late!!!
Puff!
Puff!
When Tim Lewis was still about sixty to seventy meters away, King Ron’s Sword of Emperor had already pierced Sean’s chest, targeting Sean’s heart!
And Sean’s Wolf’s Massacre was also thrust into King Ron’s lower abdomen, aimed at King Ron’s core!
Witnessing this scene, Tim Lewis’s face turned green!
If Sean were to die at the hands of King Ron, and with Roscoe leading so many soldiers to surround them, Tim Lewis, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf, even if they returned this time, they would not be able to save Sean. Their lives would likely end within this imperial city!
Whether it was Roscoe!
Or Luna Porter!
Everyone widened their eyes, their hearts pounding like drums, crazily thumping. They stared intently at the battlefield ahead, anticipating the moment when Sean and King Ron would both perish!
They were waiting for this moment!!!
“Die!”
“Die!!!”
King Ron came with the intent to die along with Sean. Despite the blow, he completely ignored Sean’s Wolf’s Massacre and his own core. His whole being descended into a state of extreme madness, his face contorted, beast-like, his right hand gripping the sword hilt tightly, ready to pierce Sean’s heart, sending him to the underworld!
“Die?”
“Well, then you can go die!”
However!
What King Ron didn’t expect, what Sean didn’t expect, what Tim Lewis didn’t expect, what Roscoe, Luna Porter, and everyone didn’t expect was…
Just as the blades entered their bodies, when everyone thought King Ron and Sean were certainly doomed…
A hand!
A hand that was originally as white as jade but now smeared with fresh blood, emerged out of nowhere along with a chilling voice, and grabbed King Ron’s Sword of Emperor! It grabbed the sharp edge of the Sword of Emperor!
Instantly, the blade pierced the skin, the flesh splitting apart!
But that hand held on tight, even tighter, gripping the Sword of Emperor. At the same time, the other hand reached out and pushed Sean away, coldly saying, “You want to die along with Sean?”
“You… are not worthy!!!”
The newcomer was none other than Cecilia!
Or, should we say, Liane Field!!!
Tim Lewis’s level was not high enough, his strength was not enough, his speed was not enough, and he was too far away. So even if he tried his best, he couldn’t make it in time to rescue them, but Cecilia could!
After pushing Sean away, Cecilia replaced Sean, holding the Sword of Emperor in one hand, blocking its sharp edge with her own body. Her other hand grabbed the Wolf’s Massacre, and with a hard push, the Wolf’s Massacre, accurate and precise, went straight into King Ron’s already damaged core, splitting King Ron’s core into two halves, with brute force!!!
The cost, however, was that the Sword of Emperor pierced Cecilia’s left shoulder at the same time, penetrating her body on the spot!!!
“Liane!!!”
Sean was pushed several meters away by Cecilia. When he steadied himself and turned around, he saw Cecilia and King Ron, one sword and one blade, mutually piercing each other’s bodies!
At that moment! Even though Sean was rescued, even though he had narrowly escaped death, even though his heart had not been pierced by King Ron’s sword, he still felt as if his heart was being torn apart. The pain! Pain so unbearable!
The woman who had pushed him away was his wife, his mother! His beloved wife! His biological mother! For a man, is there any woman in this world more important than his wife, than his own mother?
But alas! His wife’s body, his mother’s soul, stood before him, taking the sword strike that was meant for him! That fatal strike! Sean’s roar, like thunder rolling in the sky, instantly echoed throughout the entire imperial city, entering the ears of everyone present!
It struck hearts with awe! It was a cry of mournful despair! At the moment his roar rang out, Sean instinctively pounced towards Cecilia!
However! After King Ron’s core was split in two by Wolf’s Massacre, the remaining bright energy, no longer constrained by the core, burst forth like a wild horse unleashed, rampaging inside his body, breaking out from his body, transforming into fierce winds, emanating from his body in all directions!
At this moment! King Ron’s pain was no less than Sean’s! Only, King Ron’s was physical pain, Sean’s was psychological! The same unbearable pain! The same hysteria!
“Traitors!” “Traitors!” “They’re all traitors!!!” The consequence of a complete core breakdown was only one – death. King Ron had lost control of the bright energy inside his body. His body was like a ticking time bomb. At any moment, it could explode like his core. Struggling, he roared, “I am the king!” “I am the true king!” “I, King Ron, am the king of the Shirine Empire!!!”
“Bad!” Roscoe and the others naturally sensed something was wrong, noticed the danger, and yelled in shock, “Retreat!” “Retreat quickly!” “He’s going to self-destruct!!!”
Almost at the same moment Roscoe shouted, they had not yet had time to retreat! Tim Lewis, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf were halfway there, still not recovered from the sudden drastic change! Sean had made it to Cecilia and had just reached out to grab her arm!
Boom!!!!!! There came a startling explosion! King Ron’s body! It exploded! In an instant! Flesh and blood flew, bright energy crisscrossed, the winds were like blades, leaving no remnants of his body!!!
Before! During the battle at the palace gate, members of the Bloody Wolf Group had self-destructed more than once. They were only at the initial stage of dark energy, and their self-destruction could threaten the lives of people within a radius of tens of meters!
What’s more, King Ron was a genuine practitioner of the Bright Realm! Even! Even though King Ron was at the end of his tether, with only a tenth of his bright energy left! Even though! King Ron did not self-destruct voluntarily, but was forced to!
However! The tremendous power produced by King Ron’s physical self-destruction was still far beyond that of the members of the Bloody Wolf Group!
Thump! Thump! Sean and Cecilia, who were closest to King Ron, bore the brunt of the massive shock wave caused by King Ron’s self-destruction. Their blood boiled, their heads swirled, and they almost passed out on the spot. They spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then were blown away by a fierce wind, crashing hard towards the direction of the Hall of Throne!
Damn it! Tim Lewis had already rushed to a place only twenty or so meters away from King Ron. The moment King Ron self-destructed, he wanted to curse. What was happening?!
Damn! He risked his life, struggled to come to the rescue, but before he even entered the battlefield, he was already under attack!
However! He didn’t even have the chance to curse, being blown away more than twenty meters by the wind!
“How did he rush over! And how did he fly back! While flying, his insides churned like a stormy sea, and he couldn’t help but spit out blood! Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf naturally experienced the same, fortunately, they were sixty or seventy meters away from King Ron. Although they were swept up by the fierce wind, they didn’t throw up blood!
Thump! Thump thump thump…
Including Roscoe and Luna Porter, anyone within a hundred meters of King Ron was not spared. They were all collateral damage. Accompanied by a series of terrified screams, a large group fell in an instant! The scene was too gruesome to bear!
This! This was all happening even though King Ron was completely worn out! If King Ron had chosen to self-destruct when he was unharmed, the power would have been many times greater. I’m afraid that everyone within a hundred meters of him would have died instantly, buried with him!
The extraordinary abilities of Bright Realm practitioners were clear to see! Even in death, they went out with a bang!
He’s dead! King Ron, the big demon who has done all sorts of evil, is finally dead!
A moment later, when Roscoe and others got up from the ground in a sorry state, when they all looked up at the position where King Ron had just been, they saw a sky full of blood spray!
In the air! The smell of blood was thick!
On the ground! There were pieces and drops of flesh scattered, like stuffing from a dumpling!
Between heaven and earth! There was no longer any sign of King Ron!
Silence! An eerie silence!
After the deafening explosion, after the screams of terror, the large imperial city suddenly became incredibly quiet. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Terrifyingly quiet!
Everyone could only hear their own heartbeat!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
With each heartbeat, their bodies would tremble violently. If it wasn’t for the beating of their hearts, they might have thought they were dreaming!
To kill King Ron! Keep in mind! Even half an hour ago, this was something they didn’t dare to dream about!
But! Now! It had really happened, and it happened right before their eyes!
My God! What did they see?
It seemed like they had witnessed the end of an era!
The era of King Ron! It was over!
At the same time! It seemed like they had seen the beginning of a new era!
The era of Roscoe! It was beginning!
Starting from today, starting from this moment, the sky of the Shirine Empire had changed! It had completely changed!
However! Tim Lewis, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf didn’t care about some doggone era, and they didn’t care whether the sky of the Shirine Empire would change or not. What they cared about most right now was the safety of Sean and Cecilia!
So! Staggering to their feet, their first reaction was to rush towards the Hall of Throne, towards Sean and Cecilia!
“Mr. Mason!”
“Boss!”
“Cecilia!”
The figures of the three were like three arrows shot from a bow, charging forward!
Seeing this, Prince Adam, who had regained his senses, asked, “Roscoe, now that my father is dead and the situation is settled, Sean and Cecilia are severely injured and on the verge of death. Shouldn’t we…”
He stopped abruptly!
Prince Adam made a gesture across his own neck, the implication was clear!
Before! They wanted to kill with a borrowed knife, using Sean to eliminate King Ron!
Now! King Ron is dead, and Sean naturally lost his value. If they didn’t kill him now, once Sean regained his strength, they may never be able to kill him again!
Roscoe hesitated!
“Roscoe!” said Prince Lillard, “You’ve seen the strength of Bright Realm practitioners!”
“Too terrifying!”
“After my father’s death, it is only natural for you to inherit the throne, but non-family members have different hearts. The feud between Sean and us is not easy to resolve!”
“If he doesn’t die!”
“There will be endless trouble!”
“How can we feel at ease???”
Clearly! Like Prince Adam, Prince Lillard also wanted to seize this opportunity to eradicate Sean and Cecilia right within the imperial city!
“Luna!”
Roscoe still hadn’t taken a stance but turned to Luna Porter and asked, “What do you think?”
After pondering for a moment, Luna Porter turned to the murderous-looking Prince Adam and Prince Lillard and asked, “Prince Adam, having witnessed the battle just now, you are aware of the terrifying power of Bright Realm practitioners!”
“So! Have you considered!”
“That the final blast of the King was so powerful, and Sean and Cecilia are also Bright Realm practitioners. We do not know whether they are alive or dead. If we attempt to kill them now, and they choose to self-destruct in desperation, who can stop it?”
Upon hearing this! Prince Adam and Prince Lillard looked at each other, their faces dark, and said, “Then…”
“Moreover!”
Before they could argue, Luna Porter continued, “What if! I mean, just what if!”
“Among us, there are only about ten Complete Stage practitioners. If we fail to kill Sean and Cecilia, allowing them to escape from the imperial city, have you considered the consequences?”
Upon hearing this! The faces of Prince Adam and Prince Lillard darkened even more!
However! They were still somewhat unconvinced, arguing, “We can’t just let them go, can we?”
“Let them go!”
“Can you guarantee, once they’ve recovered, they won’t strike back and snatch our kingdom??”
Their concerns were not without reason!
“Enough!”
Roscoe raised his hand, stopping the argument between Luna Porter and Princes Adam and Lillard. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, “You all come with me, let’s first confirm whether Sean and Cecilia are alive or dead!”
“As for!”
“To kill or to let go!”
“We will act according to my signals later!!!”
Having said that! Roscoe took a step forward, heading straight for the Hall of Throne!!!
