Semua Bab Last Man Standing: Bab 481 - Bab 490

The air erupted with a deafening blast that seemed to split the heavens themselves, sending a shockwave that turned trees to dust and whipped up a storm of sand and debris.With a gasp, an elder was sent flying, blood spurting from his mouth as he tumbled through the air like a kite severed from its string. He crashed to the earth a hundred meters away, leaving a crater where he lay, his bones shattered."Martial... martial emperor..." he gasped, struggling to raise his head, only to fall silent, lifeless."Why... why did you have to kill Master Howard..." Nearby, Macie slumped to the ground, her face a portrait of utter despair.It was not long before Howard reached her side."I'm... I'm so sorry... I had no idea they were after you..." Macie sobbed, bowing deeply before Howard, her tears falling like rain."This has nothing to do with my father. Please, I beg you to spare his life. I'll do anything for you..."Howard gave her a fleeting look, then turned and strode toward the

With a mere snap of his fingers, Howard unleashed a swift breeze that knocked the hairpin from Macie's grasp, sending it clattering to the floor."Master Howard?" Through her tears, Macie looked up at Howard, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and despair.Ashwin hurried over, bowing deeply before Howard, blood trickling from his lips in a dark crimson stream."Master Howard, I'm ashamed that the Sabine family has produced someone like Travis...""My only request is for you to spare Macie and the rest of the Sabine family..."This... This has nothing to do with Macie. She was just another pawn of the sect. Please, Master Howard, spare her life..."Thump! Thump! Thump!Howard's hand flicked out, sending three bursts of force into Ashwin's body, perfectly measured in their intensity.Ugh!Ashwin rolled across the ground and ended up slumped, coughing up a gush of bright blood."No, please..." Macie's voice broke through her sobs. "Dad...""Your father's been poisoned, and it's

Thud! Thud! Thud!Heads flew, and except for the leader of the Fragmented Horizon sect, no one was spared. They all dropped like flies.In a desperate attempt to dodge, the leader's arm was severed, sent spinning into the air as blood gushed forth."Who... who are you? Why are you hell-bent on destroying my Fragmented Horizon sect?" He managed to regain his balance, staring at the man in the green shirt, his face etched with terror.He was a legendary fighter, just a step away from being a martial emperor, yet he could not withstand a single move from this fearsome foe."Ancient warrior sects are forbidden from meddling in the affairs of the common world. Did your Fragmented Horizon sect think it was above the law?" the man in the green said icily."And on top of that, you dared to plot the assassination of our nation's guardian, Master Howard. Tell me, who emboldened your Fragmented Horizon sect to such audacity?""Are you with Master Howard?" The head of the Fragmented Horizon

Meanwhile, Qemal's Forbidden Army was making mincemeat out of their enemies. They had those martial god-level fighters on the ropes, and in under ten minutes, a handful of them were down for the count. Even a newbie martial knight did not stand a chance against Qemal and his deputies. The rest of the Demon Palace crew? They were outclassed by the Blood Shadow Elegant Uniformed Troops. In less than half an hour, two-thirds of their three thousand disciples were wiped out. The survivors lost their nerve and scattered. The Blood Shadow troops did not bother chasing them down, as they just wanted the Demon Palace wiped off the map of the Dark World, not to wipe them out entirely. "Sir, are you good? No serious damage?" Blood Rakshasa hurried over to Sabertooth after the dust settled, eyeing the slashes on him with a worried frown."Sabertooth chuckled. "This scratch? It's nothing. Back when I was fighting alongside the boss, we'd shrug off injuries like this without a second thought."

Howard was not too fond of Yaretzi. She was a bit too smart for her own good.He did not care to entangle himself with such a woman.Still, the Coles were by and large straight shooters, and involving them in the Sabine's business dealings was a chance worth giving."Got it!" Kenny called out."Alright, let's wrap this up!" Howard said, setting down his teacup."Yoel, you're off to your date, Dragon's back to your station, the Judge is digging into the Sabine's people, Mystical Chubby and I are heading to Mendorra!""Oh, and Yoel, pass a message to Yuffie. If she's over that internship, she can jump ship to Oceania Group.""Sure thing," Yoel muttered, his lips twitching.He could not shake the feeling that his boss was playing matchmaker.Truth be told, he thought highly of Yuffie; her looks were top-notch, and her personality was right up his alley.However, romance was the last thing on his mind right then.Plus, he had some personal stuff that made it tough to dive headfi
