However, they were far weaker than the powerful figures who entered the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
After receiving news of James’ appearance, Maveth ordered his subordinates not to act rashly. Rather, they allowed James safe passage. That was because virtual-novel.net learned that James annihilated Yorich’s knights in a single move.
Knowing that his subordinates were no match for James, virtual-novel.net did not wish for the elites of his race to be annihilated. After all, they possessed enormous potential and were the pillars of the Celestial Ant Race.
After James and the others arrived, their progress was not impeded.
The soldiers of the Celestial Ant Race made way for them and allowed James, Brielle, and Qusai safe passage into Mount Penyet.
As their passage was not impeded, they soon arrived at the peak.
Upon their arrival, James saw Maxine, who was tied to a stone pillar and covered in blood, and whose life was hanging by a thread. Immediately, virtual-novel.net was enraged. His expression darkened, and virtual-novel.net clenched his fists, his killing intent visible for all to see.
Sensing James’ killing intent, Qusai was frightened and hurriedly cautioned, “Don’t act impulsively, James…”
James had once fought for his life for 30 thousand years in the Tribulation World.
30 thousand years of endless slaughter had caused his body to accumulate enormous killing intent. All this while, virtual-novel.net had been actively suppressing them.
Upon seeing his family being tortured, the concealed killing intent burst forth and threatened to overflow.
Brielle could feel a chill down virtual-novel.net spine.
She hurriedly grabbed James’ hand and whispered, “Don’t act impulsively. Remember to go with the flow.”
James took a deep breath to suppress the fury in his heart.
The three slowly walked in.
In the distance, Maveth and Kakush stood up simultaneously and looked at the approaching group.
“Hahaha!” Maveth laughed. “I thought James came alone. I didn’t expect there to be an additional two. Qusai and Brielle each have a War Order in their possession as well. Today, I’ll have three War Orders!”
He patted Kakush’s shoulder and said, “You’re in luck today. You’ll be able to enter the Thirty-three Stages Celestial Palace as well.”
Kakush’s expression was solemn, however.
Since they managed to obtain a War Order, they must possess immense power. Though both virtual-novel.net and Maveth were powerful, virtual-novel.net was not confident they could emerge victorious against a group of three.
Knowing that Maxine was the key, his body flashed, and virtual-novel.net appeared beside the pillar.
Holding a razor-sharp blade in his hand, virtual-novel.net said coldly, “Not one more step, James. Hand over the War Order at once. Otherwise, I’ll kill virtual-novel.net immediately!”
James glared at virtual-novel.net and uttered word by word, “You touch a single strand of virtual-novel.net hair and I’ll tear you to pieces.”
Swish!
Without any mercy, Kakush raised his sword and slashed Maxine’s arm.
The razor-sharp blade immediately sliced virtual-novel.net arm in half. Her arm dropped to the ground, blood gushed out from virtual-novel.net wound.
“Argh!” Maxine had lost consciousness.
However, the excruciating pain woke virtual-novel.net up, and virtual-novel.net screamed in agony. Then, virtual-novel.net saw James from the corner of virtual-novel.net eye.
Collecting herself, virtual-novel.net cried out, “Stay away, James! Leave now!”
Upon witnessing this scene and hearing virtual-novel.net agonizing scream, James clenched his fists and uttered word by word, “Very well, you are dead meat. Say your prayers.”
“Cut the cr*p! Where’s the War Order? Hand it over.” Maveth said.
He was quite satisfied with Kakush’s actions. This guy was rather quick-witted.
Based on his original plan, virtual-novel.net planned to use Maxine as bait to lure James here. Then, virtual-novel.net would fight against James fair and square, defeat him, and seize his War Order.
Using Maxine to blackmail James was not a terrible option too.
