Chapter 237 237:What Comes After Death?

A look of relief flashed on the faces of the old men as they saw the battle close to concluding.

But despite their relief, a sense of guilt pricked their consciousness.

Meanwhile, everyone else wore solemn, darkened expressions. Harold, however, caressed his beard with an expression as if he had done something great to be praised.

Tang Hao shook his head, seeing Harold's proud expression.

"Was it really necessary?"

"Hmmm!" Harold just snorted without speaking.

During the final clash, he cut through the void using his spatial ability and sent a full-power attack of sword qi that he had been nurturing for ages. The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbjn((.))com

The destructive strength of the attack was enough to cut through a part of the whole estate, and it was even more amazing that the boy managed to neutralize it.

Years of hard work had gone to waste just to take care of a mere ant. That reason alone was enough to make him want to kill that bastard a hundred times.

Tang Hao felt disgusted with himself for locking the space around the boy. Lowering his strength to deal with a small brat was utterly embarrassing and shameful, leaving a dark stain on his reputation.

Not only he, but no one wanted to do this, however Harold tempted them with benefits.

And it was such a treasure that they couldn't refuse.

Anyone who had lived long enough and fought in a dimensional plane knew that there was nothing greater than interest. If you remained adamant about your beliefs and refused to bend to the flow of time, you would be wiped out.

But amidst the grave silence, Maz screamed out.

"Harold, you said you would just sneak attack, so what was that? Can it even be called a sneak attack? Aren't you ashamed to interfere with the younger one's fight? You just needed to save Seph but you..." Maz didn't utter the last words.

"Stop being a hypocrite," Harold shouted.

"Are you feeling guilty now?" Harold teased with a twisted grin.

"And what do you mean by saving Seph? My grandson would never lose to anybody. He can deal with that imprudent bastard easily."

"Is that why you attacked so fiercely?" Wang Tianmeng asked with a solemn expression.

Previously, Seph was going to marry Ella first, and then her granddaughter. But the situation changed when Seph broke into Martial Emperor and was ordered to leave for the Dimensional zones to begin his duty.

But who knew such a calamity would ram them on the very wedding day?

Then, with a scream, he shot his left hand.

His left hand struck hard onto Leon's chest, and he felt as if he was hitting metal. But now that he had an opportunity, how could he let it go?

Time Freeze works only for 3 seconds, and he had spent a whopping 40,000 system points for three-time uses.

So, no matter what, he couldn't let it go to waste.

Lightning condensed over his palm and coated it as Seph cut through.

Leon's flesh melted and was blasted open by the force. The hard sternum of the rib cage was broken apart.

Making his way, Seph's fingers clasped his tightly, and with force, he pulled it out and burst the heart.

BOOOOM!

A cataclysmic sound erupted as Leon's heart exploded into pieces of flesh.

The heart was the prime center for channeling and storing qi. With Leon's heart being a modified dragon heart, the amount of qi was quite great and exploded with a strong shockwave that sent Seph flying with a bloodied, destroyed left hand.

As soon as the blast dispersed, time for Leon to return to normal, and spurting a fountain of blood from his lips, Leon's knees buckled up, and he fell on the floor.

The weakness followed by dizziness washed over him. Despite that, his body didn't fall flat, rather he collapsed on his knees looking down with a pale expression.

Seph, who crashed onto the ground, stared at his body, palms. The flesh on his fingers had eroded along with nails.

A piece of bone and carcass was reflected in his eyes. A gut-

wrenching pain clouded his mind, but it wasn't comparable to a burning heart and loss.

First, he failed his primary mission, which would put a severe limitation on him. After this fight was over, his stats would be drastically reduced, and a harsh penalty would be placed upon him.

"Except for system points, I won't be getting anything."

"What a fucking loss!" As Seph screamed, a sudden realization dawned on him.

"Wait a minute! I still hadn't heard the notification. Is he still alive?"

Seph's eyes locked on the motionless, pale Leon, and he could feel his life slowly drawing away.

As he got up, wondering if he should still be that guy, two soft screams erupted and drew Seph's attention to his future wives.

Seph turned towards them, and in turn, failed to notice Leon's lips widening apart, forming an eerie smile.
