The descendants of Blackwood were as if possessed, finally sensing a hint of the divine might of the mysterious Forebearer!
On the other hand, the Rodriguez family was in utter despair. Especially Landon, the head of the Rodriguez family, who watched helplessly as his great-grandfather fell from the sky.
He still remembered the choice given to him by the Blackwood couple, Nathan and his wife, in the hall; he thought Blackwood's trump card was the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion.
He guessed wrong and chose poorly!
As he watched the Forebearer of Blackwood charging towards him, he closed his eyes, expecting death to come at any moment.
But instead, Ethan passed by him. His target was not Landon, a mere Transcendent Seed stage; such men were left to the family's younger generation, and as a family head, this man had other values.
His target was...
"Run!"
"Split up and run, he has top-tier advanced psychic equipment, we're no match for him even if we unite! How could such a miraculous piece of advanced psychic equipment appear in such a humble rural area?!"
"Brother, sister, you go first, I'll hold him off, see you in the next life!"
The human assassin from the trio of heaven, earth, and man was also deeply loyal and righteous. He held a long spear and did not flee with the others. Instead, he faced Ethan directly. The fleeing one was Elder Dylan!
"Damn it!"
Dylan watched as the mysterious man who was getting closer knocked the human assassin's spear flying with one shot and impaled him. He cursed under his breath.
He had helped Marcus, hoping to wait until Marcus became the sect master so he could gain enough resources to break through the peak of Developing Skill.
If managed properly, he could even control the future sect master. But now, he realized he was terribly wrong!
Blackwood was not the mere Emerging Ability family they thought it was!
Look at the people of Blackwood, all cards on the table.
Various AI Bionic Robots, two with the power of early Developing Skill, that mysterious person, and the top-tier advanced psychic equipment...
Such a family, let alone him, this level of strength was enough to catch the eye of the Sky Sect, which only had one junior advanced psychic equipment, a treasure of the sect!
Especially...
"Pfft!"
While fleeing, Elder Dylan spat out a mouthful of blood, "Madmen, a whole family of madmen!" His face pale, he cursed again.
The people of Blackwood had long considered him a target too.
Just now, during his battle with the assassin of the trio of heaven, earth, and man, when the two Developing Skill AI Bionic Robots appeared, he was initially pleased, but he didn't expect that one of the AI Bionic Robots, when it got close to him, took the opportunity to strike him too!
Elder Dylan had strategized all his life, but now, within a single day, he had fallen into two traps.
One was Elder Felix's trap, setting up an ambush to kill him, which was still okay; he was confident he could escape, and after Marcus's death, he could switch allegiance to Elder Felix.
But the second trap...
It was Blackwood's trap, clearly intending to wipe everyone out, including him!
"Escape, this vengeance must be avenged, the sect master and the supreme elder will definitely be interested in the top-tier advanced psychic equipment."
Elder Dylan looked coldly at the mysterious figure behind him and at Marcus, who had already joined Blackwood and was now turning against his own sect brothers. "Indeed, these family scions can never truly be tamed!"
"Though that mysterious person possesses top-tier psychic ability equipment, he can't fully control the power of the Developing Skill. He can't catch up to me; this is a problem of Blackwood's own making."
Dylan had never run so fast, empowered by more than a dozen talismanic scripts entering his body.
But suddenly, his expression changed again.
The mysterious man behind him seemed not to care at all about his escape, remaining calm and indifferent. "Close the gates, release the blood ability fruit trees!"
As he spoke, Elder Dylan looked in horror toward the center of the Rodriguez family residence.
There, Blackwood Lucas, with the power of the Sword Sect, was furiously slaughtering the Rodriguez family members with a hundred flying swords, charging toward the center of their home.
He held a scroll, which he threw into the air.
In an instant, roots burst forth from the scroll, clawing their way out, followed by a massive tree nearly sixty feet tall that appeared before everyone's eyes. This bizarre tree seemed to be dancing, especially its roots, thick trunk, and branches, all densely covered with runes.
As it danced madly in the center of the Rodriguez home, the talismanic symbols on his body burst forth in brilliant light, the roots spreading throughout the entire Rodriguez residence, and a disc above its head gradually enlarging—the Eight Directions Array that Marcus had once sent back to his family!
"Phew,"
Looking at the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree and the appearance of the Eight Directions Array, under their combined effect, an array of formations enveloped the entire Rodriguez residence, allowing Ethan to breathe a sigh of relief.
[You are using 'Forebearer's Raging Fury', consuming 500 Spiritual Tribute points!]
Behind him, the massive Forebearer cards transformed into over a dozen cards, blocking Elder Dylan who was trying to break through the formation's restrictions!
Ethan charged towards Elder Dylan once again.
There was one thing Elder Dylan really guessed right. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Blackwood's visit to the Rodriguez family was a trap within a trap!
Neither Ethan nor anyone in Blackwood ever intended to let go of the Heaven-Earth-Man Assassin or the Sky Sect experts brought by Marcus because...
"The Heavenly Moon Fox on Luna and the Purple Thunder Solar Python want to break through to become Demon Kings, and the quickest way is to obtain the Demon King Blood Pill. A D-level expert's Developing Skill should also suffice as a substitute!"
"After all, the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree became a rank eight by the same means before."
Ethan narrowed his eyes, revealing the true purpose of his risky venture with all of Blackwood.
Otherwise, Ethan wouldn't have come out at all; he could have simply paid a hefty sum for the services of the people from Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion.
In view,
The roots of the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree had already taken hold across the entire Rodriguez family's territory. The ordinary people and Iron Will experts of the Rodriguez family had virtually become supplements for the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree, and even Ethan could feel the tree's joyous thrills!
And Lucas was no slouch either, leaping directly onto the top of the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree, dropping millions of Energy Stones to maintain the tree's psychic abilities and activate the array.
Looking at the various engravings on it and the array plate above it, this was the key to Blackwood trapping everyone present after receiving the intelligence, allowing no one to escape.
Because... this thing almost carried half of Blackwood's foundation!
Just as Ethan had known before, a psychic tree of this sort is a truly unique existence. When the Dragon-Tiger Brothers invaded Blackwood, the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree hadn't even shown its full capabilities!
[Year 43 of Blackwood, the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree absorbs blood daily, its roots spreading to a hundred meters.]
[Year 44, Blackwood begins to engrave arrays on its roots.]
[Year 47, the Psychic Energy Gathering Array is fully engraved.]
[Year 48, its roots spread to a kilometer...]
[Engraving the Evil-Banishing Array... Engraving the Thousand Swords Killing Array... Engraving the Forebearer Psychic Array... Engraving...]
[Year 60, the roots extend ten thousand meters!]
Blackwood rarely saw arrays because the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree itself was the embodiment of Blackwood's arrays, wherever it was located, that was where Blackwood's accumulated arrays were!
Blackwood, with years of development, was not only a family under the protection of the Forebearer cards.
The people of Blackwood were born from the Direct Death Coffin and grew up on the bloody roots of the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree!
