“Zaker!”Moments later, Yusef Mackowski arrived with his men.As soon as he saw his son, who was dying, he was devastated.The Zahn and Mackowski families had ruled the entire Earth Capital for many years.Eventually, the Mackowski had become the dominant family in Earth Capital.Yet, unexpectedly, their only son, Zaker Mackoski, who was regarded by Yusef as the future heir of the Mackowski family, had actually suffered such a serious injury.“Were you the ones who harmed Young Master?!”Yusef was now full of malicious intent. He was glaring at them and releasing a strong aura from his body.The aura was enough to make the Seven Deadly Lords shiver and fall to the ground.A Nine-rank Chakra King was simply too horrifying.How could they withstand his strong aura?“No, Master! Young Master was hurt by the daughter of the Zahn family and a young man she conspired with. Besides, the young man snatched away the map of Underworld Valley. We tried to attack him, but he used Young
Yusef Makowski was the leader of the Mackowski family in Earth Capital. He was also a Nine-rank Chakra King. Hence, he had divine power.“Gerald, what should we do now?! He came too quickly. Moreover, his cultivation level is extremely high!”Nori grabbed Gerald’s arm desperately.Gerald had clearly underestimated the ability of a Nine-rank Chakra King.In truth, his divine eye had already sensed him earlier on. He should have left immediately at that time.He was a Nine-rank Chakra King after all. His speed could not be judged using the standards of any common cultivators. Right now, Gerald was working out the best plan in his heart quickly.After experiencing the first attack, Gerald could distinctly feel the gap between his and Yusef’s strength. If he was to fight with him head-on, he would be as good as dead.His opponent was in the ninth rank, a rank that even he, who owned the Herculean Primordial Spirit, found very hard to achieve.“Hey, kid. You are quite impressive.
By the time Yusef wanted to react to what he had seen, it was already too late.The light was too difficult to block as it had come very suddenly.The light hit his eyes directly, and he stumbled a few steps backward. His head spun crazily, and he fell to the ground.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gerald ran, taking Nori along with him.“B*stard, how dare you play dirty tricks on me! Today, I, Yusef Mackowski, will break you into pieces!”Yusef’s spiritual power was heavily damaged. Now, he was looking at Gerald's back who was running away in the opposite direction unwillingly, but he could only gnash his teeth with hatred.Gerald did not dare to delay any longer.He knew that his power was too weak. Even with the help of his divine eye, he could only hold Yusef off temporarily. Now, hiding was no longer possible.The only thing he could do was to rely on the map and get into Underworld Valley. Using the traps to their advantage, they could somehow block Yusef from getti
A loud bang was heard, and Gerald’s sword hit a big stone behind it, smashing it into ashes.Bang!The next moment, a puff of white smoke came out from the coffin.It was as if the lid of the coffin was transformed into a divine arrow, and it flew toward Gerald.Slap!Gerald blocked it with his palm.Once the battle started, Gerald was appalled.A strong force appeared, and it dragged Gerald a few ten meters backward.“Gerald, are you alright?”Nori asked quickly in concern.Honestly, although Nori was using Gerald as a means to survive, she was sincerely worried about him when she saw him get injured.After all, it was not the first time Gerald had saved her.If it wasn’t for him, she would already be dead.“This thing is so powerful! It’s just another Yusef Mackowski!”Blue veins bulged on Gerald’s arm, and he could feel a tingling sensation in his arm.Meanwhile, white smoke was still coming out from the coffin.Then, they saw a pair of ancient official boots slowly
“Hurry and get on your feet, Gerald!” shouted Nori as she ran over to help pull him up. Seeing that she had grabbed the swaddling clothes—that honestly looked more like a rag by now—Gerald then held it in hand before threatening, “Take one more step forward and I’m destroying this thing! Come on, I dare you!” Upon hearing that, the zombie instantly roared! To both their surprise, however, the zombie actually lifted both its arms before taking quite a few steps back! Clearly an indication that it wasn’t going to make any other rash moves, Nori then sighed in relief before saying, “…I really hadn’t expected this thing to actually retain its humanity!” Just as Gerald was about to breathe his own sigh of relief, a roar of laughter could suddenly be heard booming across the sky… Following that, a blinding flash could be seen… and seconds later, a figure dropped from the sky in a beam of light! Landing right before Gerald, the figure fumbled for a bit, possibly due to the after
Even so, no matter how far Yusef went, Fezrumoz simply continued pursuing him! Seeing that running wasn’t doing him any good, Yusef then shouted, “You b*stard! How dare you! Continue chasing me and I’ll burn those swaddling clothes of yours! Once I do that, your pitiful child won’t even have any bones left behind! You wouldn’t want that, would you?!” According to the rumors that Yusef had heard before, one didn’t need to panic or run whenever they bumped into Fezrumoz. The only thing one needed to do to scare the beast off was declare that they would snatch the zombie’s swaddling clothes if it came any closer. While it should have stopped Fezrumoz from attacking any further, the zombie only began attacking even more viciously after hearing Yusef say that! Yusef’s words seemed to have only infuriated it even more! “What the hell? Why aren’t you stopping?!” grumbled Yusef with a frown. In his state of panic, he turned to look at Gerald and Nori… Only to realize that both of the
Upon hearing that, Nori instantly screamed before running over to hide behind Gerald! Neither of them had earlier noticed the presence of the sword that had probably been hovering above the pool this entire time. The more shocking thing, however, was the fact that a black figure could—in turn—be seen faintly hovering atop the sword! “W-who are you…?” demanded the frightened Nori. “I go by Jade Infused Blade!” replied the figure in a rather faint mechanical tone. “You… How could you be this despicable…? Were you waiting to see my bare body…?” mumbled Nori, too embarrassed to say it out loud. “Before any further misunderstandings take place, I’ll have you know that I’m blind, miss. I only came over since I sensed my master’s aura within the vicinity,” explained Jade Infused Blade as his body slowly solidified… Once he stepped closer, Gerald and Nori saw that Jade Infused Blade was actually a long-haired warrior donning black armor. “Your master…?” asked the surprised Nori.
“Figure something out?” asked Gerald. “Indeed! From what I’ve managed to gather, it appears that you’re the ninth reincarnation of my master! If you don’t mind, could you tell me whether you look identical to my master?” asked Jade Infused Blade rather anxiously. Though Gerald had actively denied that he was Liemis’s reincarnated form this entire time, he felt the need to answer honestly this time. With that, Gerald then nodded, “That’s right! I look exactly like him!” “Then that settles it! You truly are my master’s ninth reincarnation! Still, it really has been too long since I’ve last met him… Thinking back, Jaellatra was in chaos back when I last met master… At the time, the three major Sun Gods of the Sun League had cooperated to deal with master. While the three of them alone weren’t too much of a problem for him, things started turning awry when the Youngvigors stepped in. It was quickly made apparent that the Youngvigors and the Sun Gods had planned on joining forces—lo
