On the side, the fat guy finished all the tea without a word. Philip said in exasperation, “You’re too much.” Growl… A loud noise came from Hiram's stomach. He rubbed his stomach and said with an awkward smile, “I'm hungry after drinking so much tea.” “There’s fish in that stream. You can catch some and eat them.” Bamboo Shoot laughed through its tears. The two came to the stream, and Hiram said, “I'll let you taste my special grilled fish later.” After that, he picked up the bamboo spike he had just cut and stabbed at the fish swimming in the water. After a while, smoke rose beside the stone house. Hiram took out some cooking utensils from his space ring and several bottles of secret sauces. Bamboo Shoot picked up a freshly grilled fish and said with a grin, “In the past, I’ve always taken care of myself. I didn’t expect to have someone to share my meals with one day.” Philip took a freshly sauced grilled fish from Hiram. This aroma spread for several miles, and
The two continued to walk into the depths of the passage. “I forgot to ask Bamboo Shoot if it has a map of this place,” Hiram said in annoyance. Philip just thought of it too. If they had a map, it would be much easier to explore. It would be much better than walking around like a headless chicken. “Listen.” After walking for a while, Philip suddenly stopped and said to Hiram. “Listen to what?” Hiram listened for a while before he asked blankly. Philip had forgotten that Hiram was not a wind element practitioner. Philip followed the wind and heard some noisy human voices from one direction. Philip led Hiram to the source of the sound. After passing through several forked intersections, the two finally found the source of the sound. A group of people wearing black hooded trench coats with crescent moon symbols of different colors were standing by a pool and queuing up for something. Philip signaled to Hiram not to alert them and shrouded both of them with his mental
“Let’s line up first.” Philip recalled that these two had not taken their share of the stone fluid yet. Except for the few red crescents talking, the others were quiet. It was finally their turn. Philip wore the blue crescent while Hiram took the white, so Philip took one ladle as he should. Although a naked man was sitting in the middle of the pool, Philip had no complaints about this treasure and drank it in one go. This stone fluid was extremely smooth in the mouth with a sweet fruity taste. However, before the two of them could react, the stone fluid in their stomachs became scorching hot like flames. The skin on Philip's body began to slowly fall off and new skin grew. This process was extremely brutal, and Philip was soon covered in blood. Next to him, Hiram seemed to be in better condition because he only had one small teacup of it. Seeing this, the red crescent man from earlier sneered and said, “You two ignorant fools dare to swallow such a large amount of st
Seeing that the other party's speed could still increase, the two were about to collide again when Philip tossed Hiram from his shoulder. A fight was inevitable. Philip turned around, covered his fists in flames, and punched the man behind him. Philip was blasted backward, while his attack only slowed the other party down a couple of steps. Feeling the pain in his wrist and the numbness in his arm, Philip lamented the guy’s tough hide. He could not conceal his strength any longer. Philip took out the Caelum Sword and the black turtle shell, ready to fight. Seeing the two treasures Philip took out, the other party's eyes lit up. He said, “Those things are not bad. I’ll accept them.” After that, the man raised his hand and rushed toward Philip. Philip raised his shield and withstood the attack from the man, his arm going numb from the impact. After each parrying attack, Philip tried to raise his sword and slash the other party but to no avail because the other party was too
“Greenpeak Sword Formation!” Philip smashed the sword formation down violently and even tossed the Caelum Sword into it. Leroy stood in the middle of the sword formation and resisted the sharp attacks, but these hundred swords left him no room to dodge at all. The green swords formed by the Greenpeak Sword Formation could only cut through his skin while the Caelum Sword concealed within kept attacking Leroy's vital points and weak points, so the Caelum Sword managed to cause some considerable damage. Seeing the increasing wounds on the holy son’s body, the people of the Moon Worship Creed yelled as they rushed toward Philip. “Everyone back down!” With blood trickling from his mouth, Leroy ordered them back, “This fight is between the two of us.” They stopped not far from Philip. Leroy gradually slowed down, and Philip was almost exhausted from supporting the Greenpeak Sword Formation. The strength suppression seal produced by the flying snake suddenly dispersed. Five
The wounds on Philip’s body sizzled with white smoke and disappeared after a while. His sunken chest also puffed up and returned to normal. “What the hell is this?!” Seeing this, Leroy's heart trembled, and he began to panic. He promptly kicked Philip's head, but this time, Philip made a move and raised his hand to grab Leroy's foot. Philip slowly opened his eyes, and his eyeballs turned orange like the sun, scorching people's hearts and souls. “Let go of me!” Leroy’s foot was deformed under Philip’s grab. However, Philip’s change was far from over. His body began to swell and grow bigger, nearly reaching the top of the cave, which was about 40 to 50 meters high. No one had ever seen anything so horrifying, and they fled in all directions. Philip took one step and the earth shook. Almost every one of the Moon Worship Creed died under this attack except for the five red crescents. They still had a little loyalty to the creed and attacked Philip with their individual mo
At this time, Ayana Wisteria slumped to the floor sadly, and people from other groups whispered, “There, that woman is the third princess of the White Marsh royal family. She and the holy son of the Moon Worship Creed are childhood sweethearts. They were engaged to be married!” “Is that so?” “But why did someone say that the Moon Worship Creed is a cult just now? And what has it got to do with the White Marsh royal family?” That person continued, “Every year, the Moon Worship Creed selects newborns from the information database and trains them. At a certain age, those kids will be put together to kill each other, and the last one who survives will have the chance to become the holy son.” “What savages!” “Will their family members agree to such brutality?” The man shook his head and said, “Those who agree will be given compensation. I have a distant relative who disagreed, which ended up in the deaths of the couple while their kid was taken away.” After that, a bout of cur
Philip chuckled and said to the Bamboo Swordsman, “Sure enough, like master, like sword spirit. Bamboo Shoot thinks that he’s not good enough, while you share the same thought. As a sword practitioner, you should have full confidence in yourself. Otherwise, how could you wield a sword?” “Bamboo Shoot thought you left without leaving a remnant of your soul. He was very excited when he heard that we had seen you,” Hiram added. The Bamboo Swordsman patted the shoulders of the two and said with a smile, “I’ve received his heartfelt words. Thanks, both of you.” “After this place closes, I’ll return to that stone house and live there in peace. I haven't had that tea for a long time.” After that, the Bamboo Swordsman looked at ease as if he was already sitting at the table in the stone house, drinking the tea made by Bamboo Shoot. Philip asked, “I wonder how we can get out. These passages are so complicated.” “Don’t worry. This place is only open for five days. When the time is up
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
