Chapter 544: An Eye for an Eye, Blood for Blood!
The wind whistled.
The hundred thousand warriors surrounding the prison remained silent.
Leading the group…
were three men on tall, majestic horses!
Like the deceased Harrison, they were all lords of the Island of the Five Emperors.
Their presence was both divine and demonic, and they all focused their gaze on one place.
The gate of the prison!
“To attack or not?”
One of the men on the left suddenly asked the man in the middle.
The man in the middle was named Eden Hines.
His strength…
was no less than Harrison’s!
Eden hesitated for a moment and spoke coldly.
“Since Harrison was easily killed, the person who saved Samantha might very well be someone from that place. We must not act rashly!”
The man on the left furrowed his brow.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“That place? What place is that?”
Eden didn’t answer but turned his head to look outside the army’s formation at the several youths standing on the city wall.
The man on the left followed Eden’s gaze.
And he saw.
Those youths were standing on the city wall, seemingly meditating with closed eyes, showing no special signs.
Yet, these youths were four of the Island of the Five Emperors’ Twelve Heavenly Prodigies.
It was unexpected.
They appeared remarkably young on the surface.
Rumor had it that they were the mentors of the eighteen guards in this prison!
Were they truly as godlike as the rumors said?
Meanwhile…
At the lowest level of the prison, the nineteenth floor.
Jun had already rescued Fabian and the others.
But to his surprise…
They were unharmed, without a single scratch.
Especially Margaret.
Her severed hand had been reattached.
Moreover, she had acquired Samantha’s personally transmitted Pure Yin True Skill.
With over three months of dedicated cultivation, even Jun felt that her strength…
was a hundred times stronger than before!
After inquiring, he learned the reason why Harrison didn’t harm Margaret and the others but kept them here…
It was entirely due to his fear of Andy and the others outside the Island of the Five Emperors!
Harrison was afraid to confront Andy and the island’s warriors head-on, fearing that it would lead to the destruction of the Island of the Five Emperors and its sinking into the sea!
This was undoubtedly the true confrontation between modern weaponry and the martial world’s peak experts!
Having understood the situation, Jun was no longer worried.
Because only Jun knew his ultimate trump card, which wasn’t about surpassing others with his own skills, but…
the million-strong army surrounding the Island of the Five Emperors!
Since the day Jun became the God of the Lordran War Department, he had transformed the Pure Yang True Skill into an ordinary martial art!
Anyone who joined the Lordran War Department could cultivate it!
However…
The power they gained from their diligent cultivation every day was sealed within their own dantian.
In this world, only Jun could awaken their power!
A million soldiers, a million slaughterers!
But Jun wouldn’t use them unless it was absolutely necessary!
Now…
The people of the Island of the Five Emperors were filled with evil.
There were numerous experts among them.
It was time for those youngsters to taste what it felt like to face a true dragon.
And by the way…
Sharpen the blade!
Give all the unjust souls on the Island of the Five Emperors an explanation!
The nineteenth floor of the prison was pitch black.
Despite the torches, the darkness was overwhelming.
If it weren’t for the fact that everyone present was martial arts experts, even meeting face to face would make it difficult to see each other’s faces.
It was at this moment that Fabian couldn’t help but ask Jun.
“Jun, where have you been these past three months?”
In Jun’s mind, Leona’s figure flashed, and he responded with complex emotions.
“In seclusion, practicing cultivation on Dragon Vein Mountain on this island,” Fabian asked anxiously, “Has the poison in your body alleviated, then?”
Just as Jun was about to reply, a woman’s voice came from behind. “Kayla… Kayla?”
The woman was none other than Kayla, Fabian’s wife whom he hadn’t seen in years. Fabian looked at Kayla closely and was struck like lightning.
Behind Kayla stood a young man with white hair, none other than Fabian’s eldest son, Simon! At the moment, Simon held a knife, the Dragon-Slaying Blade that Jun had lent him.
Hastily approaching Fabian, the mother and son were at a loss for words despite having so much to say.
“You… Are you okay?” Fabian grabbed Kayla’s shoulder, his voice trembling.
Kayla choked back tears without saying a word.
Fabian looked at Simon and couldn’t hold back his tears any longer when he saw his son’s full head of white hair.
“Simon, you…” Simon’s voice was choked with tears.
Kayla spoke, “Simon has been trapped in the Tongue-Plucking Purgatory all this time. His tongue has been severed!”
Upon hearing these words, Fabian’s tears poured out like a flood as he embraced Simon in his arms.
“My son! I’ve been useless! I let you suffer!!!”
Simon remained silent, as if summoning great courage, he placed his hand on Fabian’s back.
Kayla couldn’t control herself and burst into tears.
However, it was evident that there was something to be said to Jun. The look in Kayla’s eyes as she gazed at Jun was filled with complexity.
“What’s wrong?” Jun inquired.
Kayla’s face was filled with despair as she replied, “We’ve stayed here for too long. When you came to rescue us, the outside was already surrounded. At least a hundred thousand warriors could be seen at a glance!”
Everyone was shocked and pale, especially Samantha, who hurriedly asked, “Did you happen to notice some young people outside who weren’t wearing battle robes?”
Kayla choked as she answered, “Yes!”
Samantha asked again, “How many?”
Kayla replied, “It seems like four people, all standing on the city walls.”
Only then did Samantha breathe a sigh of relief. “Good, the Twelve Champions of the island haven’t gathered yet. Otherwise…”
At this point, Samantha suddenly realized something and swiftly changed the topic, urgently saying, “No! Something’s wrong! The Twelve Champions never act alone! If only four of them are here, it means the other eight Champions have already gone outside the Island of the Five Emperors!”
Upon hearing this, Jun’s heart trembled, and he immediately inquired, “Are there any other exits in this prison? Lordran’s million-strong army should be outside. If those eight Champions go to battle them, the soldiers of Lordran will suffer heavy casualties!”
Samantha replied, “There are no other exits!”
Jun was instantly caught in a dilemma. On one side were the suffering prisoners in the prison, and on the other side was the million-strong army outside the prison. Outside the prison gates, there were a hundred thousand warriors!
It seemed impossible to divide his attention!
However, it was at this moment that Lillian, dressed in red, walked towards them. And with her appearance, the entire dim environment was suddenly filled with a strong aura of blood.
Jun only needed one glance at Lillian to understand what was happening. She had actually utilized the Blood Demon Scripture…
She had absorbed the cultivation of the eighteen prison guards for her own use!
Jun and Lillian exchanged a single glance, as if their thoughts had connected.
Jun asked just one question, “Are you ready for battle?”
Lillian didn’t say a word but raised her hand and waved it.
Both the Water-Dripping Sword in Samantha’s hand and the Yi Xian Sword in Margaret’s hand fell into Lillian’s grasp.
In an instant, the two swords, originally emitting a white glow, were enveloped in a surge of bloodlust.
As Jun witnessed this scene, he suddenly laughed.
“Go, as the saying goes, ‘An eye for an eye, blood for blood!'”
