Chapter 1117: Hold Hostage!
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
A dazzling blood-red light tore the sky. Watt at Third Sky of Agate Star Area was walloped. He bared his teeth, crouching and convulsing on the ground. He couldn’t support his body to stand up.
Watt could build different and complicated energy barriers. He had a talent for learning and casting complex formations. However, everybody knew that whenever they wanted to build a strong barrier, the warrior had to send his soul into it. The stronger the barrier was, the more soul energy he had to contribute.
Also, there was some kind of barrier that could interlink with the warrior. Once the barrier had any tiny change, the builder would know it instantly.
Watt’s attainment in casting barriers was high. The barriers or restrictions he made could interlink with his soul. When the barrier was torn, his soul also received the pain of having a sharp blade cutting through his soul. He got hurt instantaneously.
When the barriers shattered, Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue were shocked. The warriors of the Ascot family also recognize something wrong.
In just a blink, everybody made their decision. Cecilia, Shang Ying Yue, Jiao Shan, and Jiao Hai tried their best to get rid of this circle while the Ascot family’s warriors wanted to know what happened to their barriers first.
When they saw Watt crouching and convulsing on the ground, they discolored and instinctively looked for Phelps to protect him.
Before they had departed to the ancient continent, Fick, the Chief of the Ascot family, had ordered them to protect Phelps. As Watt couldn’t protect him, they automatically considered protecting him their priority.
Especially as they saw Phelps being strange…
When the barriers were torn apart, Phelps’ Sea of Consciousness had been filled with negative emotions, which had stirred up the weakness in his mind. He was taken aback to the moment he had experienced his Growing Up ceremony. He was restlessly worried, indeed.
Under the given circumstance, Phelps’ consciousness was chaotic. His sensibility was weakened and he couldn’t use all of his powers.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three white Bone Thorns ghostly emerged like lightning from nowhere. They thrust into Phelps’ chest.
“Young Master, watch out!”
Watt balled his body and shouted. He didn’t mind his life and used his chest to shield the attack from the three bone thorns.
At the same time, all the members of Ascot family stormed towards Phelps as if they were all crazy. They wanted to use their bodies to shield all the attacks. Then, they would slowly punish the attacker.
Cecilia, Shang Ying Yue, Jiao Shan, and Jiao Hai felt that their danger was lifted. The barriers were ripped apart and the warriors of the Ascot family didn’t notice them. It was the best chance to run away.
They exchange looks. They could see the hesitation in each other’s eyes. They hesitated as if they wanted to seize the chance and counterattack.
“It’s a rare chance!”
Shang Ying Yue hissed. Lightning beams bombarded from her body. They were like dozens of lightning snakes attacking the Ascot family’s warriors.
Cecilia, Jiao Shan, and Jiao Hai were still hesitant. Seeing Shang Ying Yue taking action, they didn’t hesitate anymore and urged their energy. Their looks were all focused on the warriors of the Ascot family. They wanted to join hands to damage their opponents.
Until this moment, the attacker hadn’t shown up yet. Shang Ying Yue didn’t know who had aimed at the Ascot family.
However, the four of them knew that without that attacker who had discreetly torn the barriers and drawn the attention of the Ascot family’s warrior, they were going to be tortured to death.
The Ascot family was one of the twelve families whose reputation was spread over in the vast universe. They all knew about Phelps’s strange and wicked fetish, which was indeed nauseating to women.
. . . After they knew Phelps’s identity, Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue had made up their mind: they would rather die together than let themselves fall into Phelps’s hand.
They knew the results of the women who had fallen into Phelps’s hands.
Swoosh!
A white Bone Thorn disappeared. The other two Bone Thorns pierced through the gaps between the Ascots as if they had eyes. They made a turn and reappeared behind Phelps.
At the same time, a narrow space slit emerged behind Phelps. A shadow walked out like he had just torn a sheet of fabric. His hands held two white Bone Thorns stabbing into Phelps’s back.
Brilliant rainbow light rippled from Phelps in many layers. They were filled with marvelous thick energy and the powers of the Five Elements.
The two bone thorns stabbed the multi-colored halos as if they were thrusting into a sponge. They felt powerless and couldn’t make sparks of power.
Boom!
An energy barrier that could confine people snatched over Shi Yan. Shi Yan felt as if his entire body was tied down. His actions became stagnant.
“Kid, you court death!”
Watt had a look as he grinned. His hands were making hand seals like a blooming lotus that was aimed at Shi Yan.
A flow of energy that could seal the soul flooded and generated in his soul altar. A strange, massive lotus appeared in Shi Yan’s Sea of Consciousness. That lotus was so big it had occupied all the room in his Sea of Consciousness, which make his Soul Consciousness ineffective.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Burning lightning, sharp icicles, and a sand-yellow punch dashed from three different directions, hitting Shi Yan’s body. Shi Yan was shaken hard. He felt his internal organs get displaced. His blood gushed out instantly.
While his blood was splashing, Shi Yan staggered, his face remaining unchanged except for a gleam of malicious, cunning intent.
Puff!
It was the scream when a blunt weapon stabbed into flesh. In the next moment, Phelps clutched his stomach and screeched crazily.
A white bone thorn, which had disappeared before, stabbed Phelps in his stomach. Half of it was jutting out of his waist. The bone thorn had broken his blood vein. Blood streamed out from his stomach and waist. Phelps held the thorn with both hands, his face twisted in pain as if someone was pricking his flesh one piece after another.
The bone thorn in his stomach was still moving!
“Kill him! Kill him! Quickly! Kill him!” Both Phelps and Watt shouted.
The six warriors of the Ascot family became wild, urging their energy to the acme. They attempted to deliver Shi Yan to Hell in one breath. They wanted to kill him in one second.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
All of a sudden, the water-like earth and heaven energy of the ancient continent overflew like a rising tide, shielding Shi Yan.
While people were screaming in fear, Shi Yan glanced at Phelps and gave a low-pitched shout.
The thick wall created by earth and heaven energy burst like a seething sea, pushing people away like they were struck by a tornado. Each of them was spinning or falling.
Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue had frightened countenances. So did Watt, the Ascot family’s warriors, and even Phelps…
While people were trying hard to steady their bodies, Shi Yan’s body glided in a strange curve. He appeared behind Phelps in a blind spot of people’s vision. A blood light appeared. The brilliant halo like a rainbow protecting Phelps was smashed.
Crack!
Shi Yan clutched Phelps’s neck with one hand. Phelps’s bones cracked. Shi Yan grabbed the bone thorn with another hand and stabbed Phelps’ heart. The sharp tip of the bone thorn had sunk into his flesh. Blood bled immediately.
“Quiet!” Shi Yan said coldly.
The other warriors landed, trying to steady their bodies. Watt and the other warriors of the Ascot family halted, their eyes red. They all gazed at Shi Yan, but none of them dared to act rashly.
Cecilia, Shang Ying Yue, Jiao Hai, and Jiao Shan were filled with surprise and inexplicable doubts. They all furrowed their brows and looked at him with fright.
Phelps, the leader they had to protect, was ambushed and held hostage. Shi Yan’s series of attacks had dizzied them and made them shocked. They had a whole new understanding of him. Even Cecilia, a warrior who had looked down on him a lot, couldn’t deny the fact that his deed was brutal, curt, and sharp to the point. She could never imagine Shi Yan doing this.
“What do you want?”
Surprisingly, Phelps was calmer than anybody else. His two hands were busy covering the wounds in his stomach that were still bleeding. He gritted his teeth and didn’t scream anymore. He just looked darkly ahead of him.
“If you do anything to Young Master Phelps, the Ascot family will not spare your life! No matter where you are, our experts will hunt you down. Whichever star area you stay in, you will die. There is no doubt.”
Watt looked like a hurt wolf. His small eyes were like razors shaving Shi Yan’s body. He talked slowly.
“Well, if I’m not mistaken, Spot was a member of the Ascot family, right? I think you all know that he’s dead now.” Shi Yan grinned, his face ferocious and malignant. “He died in my hands. Before he was killed, he also told me that he was a core member of your Ascot family. He also said that the Ascots would take revenge for him. I finished him anyway.”
Listening to him, Watt, Phelps, and the other warriors of the Ascot family felt like they had just fallen into an ice chamber.
Cecilia, Shang Ying Yue, Jiao Shan, and Jiao Hai were aghast. They looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.
Spot was Sloan’s son and Watt’s cousin. He was also an outstanding warrior of the Ascot and was a prominent member. However, only the key members of the Ascot family knew about his death. The other families of the God Clan didn’t know this information.
When Shi Yan told them this, Watt and Phelps had no doubt. They confirmed that he was the murderer. Because besides the murderer, no outsider could know this case.
Watt, Phelps, and the other warriors of the Ascot family quieted down. They were trying to figure out how to deal with all of these.
