God Of War Dad

Hill of Swords Saint Marie’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, she finally realized Sean’s formidable strength. Sean had attacked bare-handed earlier, choosing not to unleash his Bright Energy. That was clearly deliberate, luring her into a head-on confrontation so he could get close to her!

The instant Saint Marie’s illusory fist was blasted away by Sean’s punch, she knew she had fallen into Sean’s trap. This guy was far stronger than she had imagined. She was no match for him at all!

Too late! Saint Marie realized it too late. Earlier, she did not want to back down or retreat. She also felt there was no need to retreat!

But now! Even if she wanted to withdraw, it was already too late!

Boom!

Sean’s fist, swirling with majestic Bright Energy, smashed into Saint Marie’s pink fist. Amidst her shock, Saint Marie felt her Bright Energy instantly suppressed in an indescribable manner. A surge of agony shot from her fist up her arm, paralyzing her entire body as if she had been electrocuted.

Even her consciousness momentarily numbed!

Three seconds!

In less than three seconds of deadlock, the graceful white figure, revered by the millions at the foot of Hill of Swords, the illustrious Hill of Swords Saint Marie, was sent flying violently. Her internal organs churned wildly, she choked, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out, staining the corner of her white robe!

Thud thud thud thud!

After flying back over ten meters, Hill of Swords Saint Marie retreated five or six steps before barely steadying herself. Her originally fair, beautiful face was now deathly pale without a trace of color. The energy within her body surged wildly like autumn leaves blown by the mountain wind!

Fortunately, she did not immediately collapse. At least she had not lost too ugly a manner!

One punch!

With just one punch, Sean had injured the so-called Hill of Swords Saint Marie before him!

This was the vast difference between someone nearing the Bright Realm and a true Bright Realm expert. Even with Sean’s lingering injuries, even with less than half of his original Bright Energy, he still held absolute advantage over this half-baked Bright Realm cultivator like Saint Marie!

“Earlier you said…”

“You’re a descendant of the gods!”

“Right?”

“You’re Hill of Swords’ guardian!”

“Right?”

“You want to uphold Hill of Swords’ order and punish me on the gods’ behalf!”

“Right?”

Sean stood at Saint Marie’s original spot, his towering figure seemingly immutable as a mountain. His piercing gaze was like two cold, glinting blades staring at Saint Marie. He bellowed angrily:

“Well, here I am, standing right before you!”

“Come on then!”

“Punish me on the gods’ behalf!!!”

His roar was like thunder! Saint Marie stared back at Sean from afar.

At this moment, her entire right arm was numb and sore. She didn’t even bother wiping the crimson blood at the corner of her mouth. Her heart churned like a stormy sea, stirring up enormous waves!

The Bright Realm!

The true, genuine Bright Realm!

From that one clash, she keenly sensed the difference. She was nearing the Bright Realm, while Sean was a bona fide Bright Realm expert!!!

She had overestimated herself and underestimated Sean!

“Just who…”

“Are you really???”

Facing Sean’s taunts, her expression grew increasingly ugly. Still, despite Sean’s threats, she seemed unafraid. Almost reflexively, she shook her head and said:

“From what I know, in the entire Shirine Empire, only His Majesty King Ron has entered the Bright Realm and sits guard in the imperial capital!”

“As for you…”

“How could you possibly…”

Clearly, having stayed in Hill of Swords, she knew little of events in the outside world. Unlike Ernest Mason and others, she had not guessed Sean’s identity from his abilities alone like Howard Taylor, Karen Smith, and the rest.

“Who I am doesn’t matter!”

“What matters is…”

“Hand over my wife, daughter and friends…”

“Otherwise…” Sean said coldly. “I’ll have to kill you!!!”

His implication was clear. Hand them over and I won’t kill you! Dare refuse, and don’t expect to live!

“You want to kill me?”

A faint, tragic smile crossed Saint Marie’s face. But facing Sean’s threat, she seemed unafraid. Barely pausing to think, she shook her head and said:

“Like I said, Hill of Swords does not welcome you!”

“Disturbing Hill of Swords warrants due punishment!”

“You must pay the price!”

“If you think your Bright Realm abilities can kill me, feel free to try!”

Hearing this, Sean’s pupils contracted slightly. Saint Marie’s confidence made him wary.

Could other cultivators be hiding in Hill of Swords?

Sean’s piercing gaze swept the surroundings.

The Hill of Swords summit was desolate without any plants, only odd rocks as far as the eye could see, seemingly chaotic yet meticulously arranged according to some arcane principles.

Moreover, Sean sensed that mysterious, inscrutable attraction he had felt in the deepest cavern earlier, but stronger by multiples!

It seemed… compared to those caves below, the true source of that attraction was at the summit. So strong that any Complete Stage cultivator like Ernest Mason would be unable to withstand it!

Perhaps this explained why the ten noble families had built their tunnels only to the last cavern entrance and not directly to the summit. Not that they didn’t want to, but even if they did, it would be futile. They didn’t dare ascend!

“Don’t dare?”

“Heh heh!”

Saint Marie seemed brimming with confidence. Noticing Sean’s wariness, she wiped the blood from her mouth and taunted like Sean had:

“If you can’t get past me, I’m afraid you’ll never see your family or friends again in this lifetime!”

Provocation!

Threats!

Sean had always been unyielding and daring. Nothing incensed him more than taunts, nothing made him less fearful than threats. Moreover, with Cecilia and the others’ lives at stake, how could he possibly retreat?

“Let’s just try it and see! What do I have to fear?”

“Show me what you’ve got!”

Sean snorted disdainfully. The instant his words fell, he shot forward resolutely despite his caution, once again charging the dozen meters towards Saint Marie…

…

Meanwhile!

At the foot of Hill of Swords!

The gazes of the hundreds of thousands focused on the indistinct figures of General Wolf Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie atop the hill. Naturally, they had witnessed Sean’s punch blasting Saint Marie back.

“F*ck!”

“F*ck!”

“F*ck!!!”

As they saw Saint Marie’s white figure sent flying by Sean’s fist, deafening exclamations erupted like a tsunami!

Everyone’s jaws dropped!

Everyone’s eyes bulged!

Everyone was so shocked they nearly peed their pants!!!

Damn!

Foreheads sweated, faces twitched, hearts pounded, worldviews and beliefs seemed to crumble in an instant with Sean’s punch!

They simply couldn’t believe their eyes!

Saint Marie!

She was Hill of Swords’ Saint Marie! She was the descendant of the gods! She was their guardian deity of Swordland! Just moments ago, Saint Marie had revealed her terrifying might, shaking the entire Hill of Swords!

Yet now… what were they seeing???

Heavens!

One punch!

That bastard Sean actually sent their revered Saint Marie flying with just one punch???

Was this really their Saint Marie?

Damn!

Damn!This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Damn!

Amidst their shock, the people of Swordland and the foreign forces alike cast doubtful, astonished, furious gazes towards Ernest Mason and the others on the gray platform.

After all, it was Ernest Mason and the rest who had loudly proclaimed that white figure to be none other than Saint Marie!

It was Ernest Mason who had forced them to kneel and bow to Saint Marie!

They had kneeled for so long!

Kneeled for what???

Thud!

Thud thud thud…

On the gray platform, including Ernest Mason and Trevor Mason, those old fellows from the ten noble families of Swordland collapsed, their legs giving out as they plopped down on the platform. Ashen-faced, their expressions were utterly despairing!

Among the tens of thousands present, probably no one understood or had more faith in Saint Marie than these old men!

Likewise, no one else could match the visual impact and mental shock they felt upon seeing Sean blast Saint Marie away with one punch!

Even Saint Marie had fallen at General Wolf Sean’s hand! Moreover, a crushing defeat!

What hope did they have left?

Boom!

Just as those foreign forces were shocked speechless, just as the Swordland citizens furiously stood up, ready to confront Ernest Mason and the rest, just as Ernest Mason and company were sinking into despair, another rumbling boom suddenly sounded from the Hill of Swords summit!

Everyone was startled, immediately looking up.

They saw…

Atop the kilometers-high Hill of Swords, the battle between General Wolf Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie had reignited. The two figures darted about swiftly as lightning, occasionally clashing with deafening explosions!

However, before General Wolf Sean, Saint Marie was always at a disadvantage, sent flying with almost every collision. Her once fairy-like grace and poise now appeared in the eyes of the tens of thousands below as a white ball battered back and forth by Sean, punched from east to west, then kicked back from west to east by Sean. As time passed, she was increasingly unable to resist!

The scene… was indescribably miserable! Painful just to watch!

Some Swordland citizens even began sympathizing with her. Regardless of whether she was truly Hill of Swords’ Saint Marie, the descendant of gods, she was still a woman, just a woman. To be tormented to this extent was simply unbearable!

As for that bastard Sean… too ruthless!

Once he acted, he was merciless to the extreme!

Boom!!!

After about half a minute, Saint Marie was blasted back over a dozen times by General Wolf Sean until she finally crashed heavily amidst the jagged boulders on the Hill of Swords summit, disappearing from the vast crowds’ sight due to the hill’s obstruction.

Sean chased aggressively after her…

…

“Now!”

“Still think I can’t kill you?”

Atop a boulder over two meters tall, Saint Marie had just crashed down, still spewing blood from her mouth. Sean immediately swooped down beside her, grabbing her neck and easily lifting her entire body into the air with a slight exertion of strength!

At this moment!

In Sean’s hand, this Hill of Swords Saint Marie, this expert nearing the Bright Realm, had become completely like a lamb to slaughter, meat on Sean’s chopping block! Blood-stained white clothes! On her last legs!

If Sean truly wanted her life, he could take it anytime. The only reason he hadn’t acted swiftly was to interrogate her on Cecilia and Phyllis’ whereabouts. To Sean, her life and death were irrelevant. His wife, daughter and friends were what mattered most!

It had to be admitted, the tremendous attraction at the Hill of Swords summit did affect Sean to a certain degree, limiting his Bright Energy, weakening his abilities. Saint Marie, like a fish in water, instead used that attraction as an aid to perform beyond her norm!

But this still could not compensate for the vast disparity between nearing the Bright Realm and actually being in the Bright Realm, still could not change the battle’s outcome, still insufficient for Saint Marie to reverse defeat!

“Heh!”

Saint Marie’s white robes were forcibly dyed crimson, her exquisite features disfigured by Sean’s blows. Her once beautiful face was now badly swollen and misshapen. Yet despite her wretched state, despite being held by the neck with both feet off the ground, the profound depths of her eyes showed not the slightest fear as she glared at Sean. Blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, she managed an arduous, disdainful sneer.

Then she spoke: “You think… just because you beat me…”

“You’ve won?”

“You can save your wife, daughter and friends?”

“Dream… on!”

“I knew I was no match for you, yet still fought desperately to lure you into the Giant Spirit Formation. Once inside, even a true Bright Realm expert like you will only…”

“Become the Sword of God’s sacrifice!”

“Don’t even dream about leaving here alive!”

Hearing this, Sean’s heart stirred slightly. Giant Spirit Formation? What was that? These jagged boulders that looked chaotic yet meticulously arranged?

Boom! Crack!

Boom! Crack!

Before Sean could react, strange sounds suddenly came. And accompanying these sounds, a shocking scene unfolded before Sean’s eyes!

He saw…

Those massive boulders around him, originally motionless, now inexplicably began rolling around the boulder he and Saint Marie stood upon, as if possessed, moving on their own without anyone touching them!

That scene…

Was somewhat frightening, like seeing ghosts in broad daylight. Even someone of Sean’s caliber couldn’t help but enlarge his pupils as his heart shuddered violently, blurting out “Damn!”
