Swish! Suddenly, the head of the long metal whip shaped like a scorpion's tail twisted around in midair. The stinger that glowed with a strange black light was held high up and stabbed at Philip’s back! Clatter! The sound of metal chains! Boom! The head of the whip stabbed Philip who still grabbing the whip by the middle! However, only dust and flying gravel came into sight. Philip had left the whip’s attacking range and quickly retreated, standing more than ten meters away. The head of the whip burrowed out of the ground and stood upright like a cobra. The two flickering red eyes were like an infrared detector, locking on Philip’s position and stabbing out again! Rumble! Dust and debris flew again. Philip kept dodging, and at the same time, he threw punches of chimera fists at the metal whip. However, the metal seemed unafraid but rather cheerful as if this scattered energy were its nourishment. Shane stood nearby with evil chills in his eyes as he said, “Young
The punch was too fast, and the energy pressure contained was too strong. Philip had no time to react at all when the punch was already in front of him! In the nick of time, he adjusted his position and threw out a punch too! However, as this was a passive attack, Philip’s punch seemed too hasty and lacked power. Bang! Two fists collided and exploded in a burst of energy pressure! Philip was sent flying out by Shane’s punch again, sliding over the ground several meters away. When he finally steadied himself, he saw Shane’s indifferent face on the opposite side. His eyes flashed with a weird cold light, and the metal whip continuously twisted around his body. “Young Patriarch Clarke, if you don’t give it your all, you’ll really die here today.” Shane said coldly and raised his hand. With a streak of light, the metal whip stabbed at Philip again! Boom! Several large pits were blasted into the ground, sending dust flying. Philip retreated, constantly dodging and ev
Suddenly, he saw the sneer on Shane’s face, and a sense of crisis that welled up from the depths of his soul came from above his head! Philip looked up and saw the same figure right above his head with the dazzling silver longsword stabbing at the top of his head! Philip had no time to think at all. He unleashed all the energy and the power of rules in his body as he raised his hand. He struck out a longsword formed by compressed air, which collided with the silver longsword in Shane’s hand! Clang! A crisp sound resounded through the place! Philip was knocked out by the sword energy of the silver longsword in Shane's hand and fell from the air! The longsword in his hand also disintegrated in a flash! However, he got his life back! Boom! Philip crashed into the ground and blasted a huge pit! When the dust settled, he jumped up from the pit and stared fixedly at Shane, who slowly landed on the opposite side. He was still as calm as ever as if everything was within h
After he said that, Shane’s aura suddenly changed, becoming extremely harsh and cold! It was as if he was merely testing and playing with Philip previously. Philip looked solemn because he clearly felt the energy pressure from Shane! As well as the interference of that rule power that he could not fathom! It was another power that suppressed the rules again! It was no wonder he always felt one realm lower than Shane. It turned out that it was not that Philip was too weak but the rule power of the other party was suppressing his realm! Philip felt a foreboding. If this continued, he would eventually lose! Be it combat experience, his current realm, or Shane’s rule power that Philip could not figure out, all of them made Philip feel the pressure! No wonder Fennel said that Shane was not weaker than him. He was definitely a tough opponent! Boom! Suddenly, Shane launched an attack with the silver longsword, aiming straight for Philip’s heart! At the same time, the
Biff, bang, thud! Every punch landed on the flesh! Clink, clank, clunk! Shane’s every sword struck Philip’s tough metallic armor! However, under Shane’s ferocious attack, Philip could not hold on either! Bam! Another kick! Philip was sent flying by Shane again and fell heavily to the ground. His arms went numb! The other party’s attack was so fierce that he could hardly block it even with his arms covered in metallic armor! Philip coughed violently and bled from his mouth. He stood up from the ground, and the flames in his eyes burned brighter. Shane frowned as he looked at Philip who stood up again. The fighting intent in his eyes turned deadly. He swung the silver longsword in his hand and said coldly, “Why can't you just fall down and obediently wait for me to kill you? Why do you have to stand back up? If this is the case, you’ll suffer.” Philip snorted, his eyes full of fighting spirit as he said, “You’re the one who’ll fall.” Shane shook his head, his
These guards held iron chains made of special material and rushed over from all directions. They threw the chains into the air, which formed a net! “Seize!” Eight people stood in eight directions and bellowed as they pulled on one end of the iron chains. Buzz! Instantly, the net formed by the iron chains dazzled with brilliant red light! In the middle, Shane was entrapped in the iron net and roared angrily, “Kill! Damn them all!” With a roar, he jumped into the sky, grabbed an iron chain, and pulled it violently! The guard lost his balance and flew toward Shane! Puff! Shane raised his hand, and the silver longsword in his hand pierced through the guard in the chest! Boom! After that, he grabbed the neck of the guard who had been pierced through his chest and tossed him out violently. The guard’s body crashed heavily into another guard! In an instant, this suppression formation failed to work! Shane went on a killing spree, and miserable screams resounded in th
Back at Fennel’s private manor, Steven and the rest had been waiting for a while. “Strategist, when will the boss return? Does he need our help? I say we should just rush over!” Hans was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. The Strategist stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were unfathomable. He looked at Georgina who was sitting on the sofa fiddling with the computer and asked, “Have you hacked your way in?” Georgina said solemnly, “It's a little difficult. The core firewall of the Lovelace family is built by three computer experts and isn’t something that can be cracked in a short time. However, I’ve already cracked the firewall of their laboratory. The research materials about Miss Johnston will be sorted out immediately.” After Georgina finished speaking, several guards rushed in from the door and said with a bow, “Strategist, the four bases of the Lovelace family are all empty as if they knew we would go over. Moreover, they were full of mi
The real Lovelace family? Hearing this, Philip’s face darkened. He frowned, looked at Georgina, and asked, “Have you gotten the location?” Georgina nodded and said, “Yes, but their IP locations change every ten minutes, and many of them are fake. I need to process them to confirm the real IP location.” “How long will it take?” Philip asked. Georgina frowned and said, “At least two days if I do it without alerting the other party. They have three computer experts on their side, and the firewall is very strong with many programs running that I’ve never seen before. If the other party finds out, then we’ll lose this opportunity. The other party is likely to delete all information belonging to Miss Johnston.” After hearing Georgina's words, Philip scowled. He glanced at Fennel before saying, “Okay, I trust you.” Georgina nodded and quickly operated the computer. The Strategist stepped forward and said to Fennel, “Boss, the four underground bases of the Lovelace family in Se
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
