Chapter 942 942 - Golden Boy

Shattered!

His lifesaver, the protection talisman given to him by his sect that could defend against the power of most Martial Masters, was shattered!

Lockster Kang's face was ashen.

Boom!

Yet another punch descended.

Lockster Kang's body split into pieces and he died on the spot!

Taban Feng and the others felt their blood run cold.

It was too ruthless!

The paragon of an ancient aristocratic family was overwhelmed and brutally beaten to death by a flurry of punches!

On the other side.

Noticing that something was amiss with the situation, Norel Anette had already fled far away riding on her Green Bird.

Aiden's gaze shifted. Just as he was about to give chase, he caught sight of someone else.

A handsome man wearing faint-gold robes floated in. His face was clear as jade and sparkled while his gaze was deep, resembling glass.

Five kilometers away from the Great Forbidden Ruins, in the pavilion.

The Quasi-Divine Masters of the Lockster and Norel clans sat inside with relaxed expressions, sipping tea leisurely.

Although the Martial Grandmasters outside the pavilion looked indignant, they did not dare to leave without permission.

In this short period of time, there had already been more than ten Martial Grandmasters who wanted to challenge the Lockster and Norel ancient aristocratic families but were killed helplessly!

The number of shattered Destiny Talismans was still increasing rapidly.

Gradually, fear, doubt, shock, and frustration spread through the crowd.

They were not the only ones; even the Martial Grandmasters of Heaven Motion Sect, Stellar Luna Sect, and Dark Ghost Sect from the Great Upper Sects could only watch helplessly as the Destiny Talismans in their hands shattered.

The three of them looked extremely furious!

Too many paragons had fallen by this point of the Vermilion Fruit fight.

Even among the Great Upper Sects and four gentry clans, there were few paragons remaining.

The remaining few Destiny Talismans were also dark at this moment, proving that even those paragons who managed to survive were not doing well.

Finally, the Quasi-Divine Master of the Cadmus clan could not hold it in any longer and snarled, "Lockster clan has truly produced a wonderful successor!"

"Isn't the successor of the Lockster clan being too ruthless just to fight for a single Vermilion Fruit?!" The expression of Blood Mist Sect's Quasi-Divine Master was terrible.

"Haha."

The Quasi-Divine Master of Lockster clan chuckled and shook his head. "This is a fight between the paragons, to begin with and is extremely fair for everyone. Why are you holding the Lockster clan accountable for the death of your disciples?"

The many Martial Grandmasters were silent.

No matter what, it was indeed a fair fight between the paragons.

If their disciples had the chance to kill Lockster clan's paragon with ease, no mercy would be shown either.

The Quasi-Divine Master of Lockster clan said coldly, "Don't try to fight for the Vermilion Fruit if you don't have the capabilities! If you dare to come for the challenge and die because of it, there's no one else to blame!"

"You… "

Although the words of Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master were nasty, everyone was rendered speechless.

All of a sudden!

Sensing something, Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master frowned and slapped his storage bag, retrieving a Destiny Talisman.

The initial radiance of the Destiny Talisman was rapidly dimming.

"Hmm?"

Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master was stunned!

At the same time, Norel clan's Quasi-Divine Master withdrew a Destiny Talisman as well.

Its radiance was also diminishing rapidly.

Something was wrong with the situation!

The Lockster and Norel ancient aristocratic families had a close relationship.

Although Lockster Kang and Norel Anette could not be considered as childhood sweethearts, they would definitely not fight one another given their relationship.

In other words, a strong foe had managed to threaten the both of them!

Although the Martial Grandmasters outside the pavilion were silent, all of them were gloating in secret.

"They seem to be in trouble," The Quasi-Divine Master of the Norel clan had a grim expression.

Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master frowned deeply.

Naturally, he could sense that there was an issue through the feedback of the Destiny Talisman.

However, what he could not understand was who could threaten Lockster Kang in the Great Forbidden Ruins given the latter's strength!

Furthermore, Lockster Kang was accompanied by Norel Anette and two powerful demon beasts as mounts!

Shing!

Right then, a noise sounded from the Destiny Talisman in the Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master's hands.

Although it was not loud, it felt like thunder booming in his ears!

Instinctively, he looked down.

A series of cracks appeared on the Destiny Talisman that represented Lockster Kang!

This meant that Lockster Kang was already dead!

The Quasi-Divine Master of the Lockster clan froze up.

He did not even realize when the broken Destiny Talisman fell through his fingers.

Although most of the Martial Grandmasters outside the pavilion were gloating at his misfortune, they had conflicted expressions.

They were also curious as to what was happening in the depths of the ruins!

Who was it that had the capabilities and guts to murder the paragon of an ancient aristocratic family?!

After a moment of hesitation, Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master slapped the table and stood up, remarking darkly, "Something strange is happening in the ruins, I must head there and check things out! While there might be paragons in the North Region who can defeat my Kang, I don't believe that any of them can kill him!"

"Hehe!"

A Martial Grandmaster from the crowd could not hold it in and snickered, "Who was the one who said earlier on that no Martial Grandmasters are allowed to interfere and enter the Great Forbidden Ruins to ensure that this was a fair fight?"

"That's right! Reneging on your own words right away? How shameless can you get?"

"You guys have a death wish!"

Triggered, Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master was enraged and his glabella shone, sending forth his spirit consciousness.

Vines started growing endlessly beneath the feet of the two Martial Grandmasters who spoke and wrapped around them!

Almost instantly, the two of them were cut mercilessly by the vines with fresh blood dripping.

"Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!"

Both of them let out miserable wails.

No matter how they struggled, they could not break free from the vines. Instead, the vines wrapped around them even tighter instead.

The vines were already digging into their flesh!

Poof!

Their bodies could not take it and were sliced into meat lumps by the vines, falling onto the ground with a nauseating stench.

"Anyone else disagreeable?"

Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master surveyed his surroundings with a murderous aura and asked frostily.

"Haha… "

Suddenly, a mocking chuckle sounded in the air.

An old man with a sloven face and scrawny body had appeared unknowingly. With an ancient stare that seemed to be able to peer through everything, he remarked nonchalantly, "How imposing."

"You are…"

The Quasi-Divine Master of the Lockster clan froze for a moment.

Immediately after, his stare shifted onto the old man's waist.

When he caught sight of the sect badge, Lockster clan's Quasi-Divine Master shuddered with a look of disbelief in his eyes, exclaiming, "Crystal Palace Sect!"

Those words seemed to be magical.

Instantly, silence ensued outside the pavilion.

Almost all martial artists who could cultivate to become Martial Grandmasters have heard of the nine immortal sects before.

The Martial Grandmasters of the North Region who knew about the nine immortal sects would definitely know about Crystal Palace Sect!

That was a true super sect of the North Region and was a titan!

"Dear Friend, may I ask who you are from Crystal Palace Sect?"

The Quasi-Divine Master of Lockster clan asked with difficulty, vaguely sensing something.

"I don't have a title. I'm merely an old servant of the young master."

The Crystal Palace Sect old man's tone was still calm.

"Y-Young master… has he arrived?"

The Quasi-Divine Master of Lockster clan murmured softly with a bitter tone.

He finally understood how Lockster Kang died.

If that man from Crystal Palace Sect arrived in the Great Forbidden Ruins, even 10 Lockster Kangs won't be a match for him!

That was the number one Quasi-Divine Realm Master of the North Region 30 years ago!

That man could have entered Martial Grandmaster realm 10 years earlier. However, the reason why he did not take the step forward was that he wanted to enter the ancient battlefield 20 years later.

Jorl Wuya of Crystal Palace Sect!

He reigned supreme across the Martial Master realm in the North Region 30 years ago!

When the Quasi-Divine Masters of the Great Upper Sects and four gentry clans heard the name Jorl Wuya, all of them went silent.

The Quasi-Divine Master of Norel clan murmured softly, "If we knew that Jorl Wuya would come, why would we bother sending our disciples to fight for the Vermilion Fruit? That's just seeking trouble for ourselves."

The handsome man in faint gold robes strode over unhurriedly. His eyes resembled stars and he possessed indescribable confidence.

Norel Anette rode on her Green Bird and was speeding with all her might to escape from the Great Forbidden Ruins. When she caught sight of that person, she was stunned for a moment.
