“How dare you?!” Zephyr roared, and his eyes flashed with anger as virtual-novel.net sent Jessica flying out.
Jessica’s continuous attack was as annoying as a fly. If it were not for Kevin’s constant reminder of Jessica‘s importance before, Zephyr would surely show no mercy and directly smashed Jessica’s head into pieces.
Jessica leaped backward, and virtual-novel.net turned around in mid-air before landing on one knee. The next second, virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net chest and coughed. A trace of blood appeared at the corner of virtual-novel.net mouth, and Jessica could smell and taste the blood. However, virtual-novel.net did not hesitate and directly stood up, looking at Caspian. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net wanted to continue.
“This is so annoying!” Zephyr gritted his teeth.
Usually, Zephyr could kill many such opponents with just a slap, yet virtual-novel.net had to refrain from doing so with Jessica. This made virtual-novel.net fume with rage.
Kevin, who stood far away, was getting impatient at the scene too, so virtual-novel.net said, ”Master Zephyr, go ahead and kill her.”
Zephyr snorted and quickly appeared in front of Jessica. A hurricane swept over, and Jessica became focused as virtual-novel.net swiftly leaped to the other side.
“The Whirlwind Palm!” Zephyr let out a long scream, and even the sleeves of his shirt curled up.
Then, a drastic thing happened. Zephyr shot out a series of palm prints, and like an inescapable net, they fell on Jessica. Jessica let out a soft yelling, and virtual-novel.net body surged with energy. In that instant, virtual-novel.net appeared majestic. The huge storm-like palm that came at Jessica pressed above virtual-novel.net head, unable to move further downward.
She raised virtual-novel.net hands high, and virtual-novel.net body was straightened. She stared at Caspian as virtual-novel.net face became paler, but the look of determination did not decrease.
Jessica yelled in virtual-novel.net heart, “Idiot, I won’t give up!”
“Hmm?” Seeing this scene, Zephyr could not help but frown. After all, virtual-novel.net was a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, but virtual-novel.net could not even defeat an early-stage first-stage cultivator. Hence, Zephyr suddenly felt embarrassed.
The anger that virtual-novel.net suppressed before all exploded, and virtual-novel.net roared, “Get down!” At the same time, his energy seemed to have increased.
Thud!
In the air, there was a sound as if iron plates were being dragged.
Jessica immediately felt as if a boulder was pressing onto her. As the air around virtual-novel.net seemed to be thinning, Jessica thought virtual-novel.net would be crushed to death. Even though virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net best to support herself, Jessica’s knee curled uncontrollably, and even virtual-novel.net arms were not straight. However, virtual-novel.net back was still straight.
Kevin and the others could not help but be surprised at the scene. None of them expected Jessica to be so unbudged for Caspian. She was risking virtual-novel.net life for Caspian.
Nonetheless, Zephyr burst into laughter, and virtual-novel.net once again shot out a few slaps.
Puff!
Jessica’s chest violently rose, and virtual-novel.net instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. Even virtual-novel.net face got paler. However, virtual-novel.net body swayed slightly before virtual-novel.net straightened virtual-novel.net posture.
Even though virtual-novel.net was pressed so hard that virtual-novel.net had to kneel on one knee and could not stretch virtual-novel.net arm straight, causing virtual-novel.net to support it with virtual-novel.net shoulder, Jessica did not give up.
She turned to Caspian, and virtual-novel.net had a feeling that this was perhaps the only time virtual-novel.net could show Caspian virtual-novel.net identity. Caspian would surely understand.
Surely.
“Idiot… You‘re… So smart… You’ll surely figure it out… Right…”
When virtual-novel.net felt the force getting heavier on virtual-novel.net shoulder, just like mountains stacking up, Jessica once again spat out a mouthful of blood. There was a hint of sadness in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Then, virtual-novel.net mumbled so softly that only virtual-novel.net could hear, “I’m sorry for hiding the truth from you for so long… But you probably guessed it earlier… Thank you…”
Jessica tried virtual-novel.net best to say the last two words. At that moment, even if virtual-novel.net used all the strength virtual-novel.net had left, virtual-novel.net voice was stuck in virtual-novel.net throat. She could not say anything.
Indignance and regret filled Jessica’s heart.
Soon, sourness, pain, annoyance, regret all rushed to virtual-novel.net heart, and Jessica’s clear eyes became misty as tears slowly fell from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Seeing Caspian, who was not far away from her, Jessica started crying harder. The blood at the corner of virtual-novel.net mouth flowed like a river. However, virtual-novel.net still tried virtual-novel.net best and gritted virtual-novel.net teeth to support. Soon, virtual-novel.net pearly whites were all stained red.
Everyone watching the scene felt someone was tightening their grip on their heart, and they felt their breathing became slower.
Boom!
The air vibrated. Zephyr indifferently slapped Jessica.
Bang!
Jessica knelt on both knees, and virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net best to straighten virtual-novel.net back but to no avail. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net still forced herself to look at Caspian. Finally, Jessica’s lips moved, and virtual-novel.net used virtual-novel.net remaining energy to express virtual-novel.net gratitude and regret.
The surroundings suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Suddenly, Ashton screamed, “I can’t take this anymore!” Then, virtual-novel.net swiftly drew out his Flame Sword, making his way to Caspian with eyes full of envy and hatred.
“It’s all your fault! Everything is your fault! I’m going to kill you now! You b*stard!” Ashton roared as virtual-novel.net rushed toward Caspian. “Jessica, take a good look! I’m going to make you give up on this swine by killing him!”
Caspian’s crisp voice sounded, “Ashton!”
Even though it was not loud, it was rather terrifying. Everyone present, even Kevin and Zephyr, who had higher realms than Caspian, could not help but frown and look at Caspian.
An uneasy thought surged in everyone’s heart when they heard Caspian calling Ashton.
Jessica’s eyes flashed.
Ashton held onto his Flame Sword, and virtual-novel.net looked at Caspian, who had his head hanging. Suddenly, Ashton felt as if virtual-novel.net was staring into the abyss, and his heart was beating wildly as his limbs turned cold.
After a moment of silence, Caspian’s voice came again.
“Who did you call a swine just now?!”
Ashton could not stand the terrifying oppressive force that Caspian was emitting, and with bloodshot eyes, virtual-novel.net roared, “I’m talking about you! Go to hell!” Then, virtual-novel.net raised his Flame Sword and slashed at Caspian.
Jessica widened virtual-novel.net mouth, but virtual-novel.net could not shout nor cry.
Keith and Kevin’s eyes had a hint of joy.
Suddenly, everyone heard a snapping sound as if something broke. Immediately, Ashton watched in horror as Caspian easily escaped from the rope virtual-novel.net was tied with.
In the next moment, Caspian’s movements were as swift as the wind and fiery as thunder, and virtual-novel.net did not give Ashton any chance to react. In the blink of an eye, Caspian grabbed the Flame Sword’s blade, and his entire strength gathered in his palms and arms.
Crack!
The Flame Sword was broken into two by Caspian!
Kevin was the first to react, and virtual-novel.net shouted, “No…”
However, just as virtual-novel.net managed to yell one word, Caspian was already ahead of him.
Just like an angered beast, Caspian rammed into Ashton’s chest, breaking his arm with his backhand, stealing the sword, and grabbing Ashton by his neck. Then, virtual-novel.net snatched the broken Flame Sword and pointed the blade at Ashton’s throat.
Caspian’s sharp eyes flickered with cold lights. As virtual-novel.net leaned on Ashton’s back, watching the dumbfounded crowd, Caspian showed a mocking smile. “Let go of Jessica!”
