"I'll apologize later. Right now, I've got something more important to do," Rocky said to Lena as he gestured for her to step aside.
"Although you managed to break into this place, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave alive," Alston sneered.
"Then I'll have to give it a try," Rocky retorted, as his eyes narrowed.
"Good. I don't plan on giving you another chance," Alston replied with a malevolent chuckle.
Right then, a mysterious figure cloaked in a black robe suddenly appeared by his side.
"Kill him!" Alston ordered.
"Don't order me around," the man in the black robe replied arrogantly.
"Don't you want the spiritual treasure?" Alston asked the mysterious man in return, his tone cold as ice.
The man in the black robe hesitated for a moment before directing his gaze towards Rocky. He then stretched his body as he was about to rush towards him and attack. Once Rocky noticed the weird aura emanating from the man in the black robe, he became more vigilant upon sensing that he was from the spiritual race.
The figure in black suddenly stretched out and waved his arm to summon his three-clawed scale palm out of thin air.
Rocky immediately felt the amazing spiritual power rush towards him without a sound. He quickly dodged it. A loud bang could be heard from all around and where he once stood was a hole measuring several meters deep.
"How powerful!" Realizing that his opponent burst out such strong power by merely waving his hand, Rocky guessed that he was an ordinary spiritual being at the advanced level or a much stronger level.
"Basil, be careful! He's a spiritual master," Lena reminded him.
The figure in black approached Rocky once more. This time, it appeared he intended to show no mercy. With another wave of his hand, a red beam of light rushed out of his palm and immediately headed for Rocky.
Rocky's expression changed. The beam of light advanced so quickly that there was no time for hi
d today was between me and Alston. I don't wish to see any more casualties or get any more people involved. Everyone, please back off!" Rocky announced to the crowd as loudly as he could with sharp eyes.
Soon, the entire crowd became silent. Everyone was now focused on Alston and Rocky.
Perhaps it was because of Marcia's speech that Alston's people dared not to make a single move. With the sudden appearance of the two leaders of the two army groups of the Holy Dragon Empire—Marcia and Lance, and the chief of the Ji Clan—Elvis, and the chief of Ximen Clan, Bryant, and also the sudden involvement of the spiritual race, many were full of doubts about what really happened.
Additionally, Alston appeared to have completely lost his mind. Everyone who sided with him now had to take more careful consideration of the matter.
"Damn it!" Alston cursed lout loud upon seeing his men stop. He glared at Bryant maliciously. If it weren't for Bryant's sudden appearance, Rocky might have died long ago.
"Alston, it's the right time for us to settle our long-term grudge once for all today," Rocky said to his enemy coldly.
"Humph! Killing you is easy for me!" Alston knew Rocky had already reached this limit. He felt sure that getting rid of Rocky once and for all would be a piece of cake.
