Chapter 111 Desperate Cries
Chapter 111 Desperate Cries
Outside the Witch Palace, Alston let out an evil, loud laugh. He watched his hysterical brother pleading
for a chance to see Lena. Alston then went up to the royal spirit manipulators at the medium level of the
Heavenly Stage who were standing guard outside the Palace. He instructed them sternly, "I need you
to stay out of whatever will happen after this. I will take care of it myself. No matter how things go, don't
try to poke you nose into it. That's a direct order."
"But, Your Royal Highness..." The guards were quite shocked to hear these instructions. Typically, the
Crown Prince shouldn't be bothered this kind of matter. They found it rather strange when they heard
that he wanted to take care of it in person.
"Do you have any problems with my order?" Alston asked, squaring up his shoulders intimidatingly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Even though there were looks of perplexed confusion on their faces, the guards understood that asking
more questions would not do them any good. So they withdrew themselves with their spirit-manipulated
beasts to the front of the Witch Palace.
There was a reason for Alston to order those royal spirit manipulators to stay out of his business. He
knew very well that they would stand in his way if he would do something to Rocky that did not comply
with the law. Alston now looked at Rocky ferociously and said, "You will never see Lena again. No
matter how hard you scream, she will never want to see your face. I will make you suffer more than
what you have done to her. Death will be a mercy for you. Just wait and see. I will make it a living hell
for you."
"It's you! You're the one who set me up. Alston, you dirty dog!" Rocky clenched his fists. His rage was
towering like a flaming fire.
"Hah-hah, do you have any evidence? Currently, all the evidence points to you! Everyone in the empire
will soon be convinced that you are the treacherous bastard who committed unforgivable crimes. Even
His Majesty can't protect you now. You have no choice but to accept your doom!" Alston said
villainously.
Rocky growled as a thunderclap resounded, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he
stood. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Alston. Nebula shaped spiritual powers kept
converging to his clenching right hand in readiness for him to attack Alston. Though he knew that he
would not stand a chance to defeat Alston, he swung his fist without a bit of hesitation.
But at that moment, four people appeared from different directions to protect Alston. They were all
above the medium level of the Heavenly Stage. One of them took Rocky's nebula punch directly by his
own body. Meanwhile, the other covered his fingers by spiritual power. Quickly, his fingers became
hawk talons and grabbed right on Rocky's shoulder. Rocky's clothes was torn into pieces. Bloody tear
marks were visible on Rocky's shoulder. Another kick was directed to Rocky's abdomen that propelled
him far away.
The kick was so powerful that Rocky rolled over the ground which aroused a cloud of dust before he
could stop himself. That was a real hit.
"Do you want to fight me? You aren't good enough yet!" Alston said jeeringly to Rocky, who was face
first on the dirt.
At this moment, Rocky covered the bleeding wound on his shoulder with his hand and glared at Alston
and the four spirit manipulators. Their power was above the fifth or sixth level of the Heavenly Stage.
He knew that he could not defeat even one of them, not to mention all four.
"Aren't you even brave enough to fight with me? You coward!" Rocky spat out the dirt that had lodged
in his mouth, bellowing at Alston.
"You lowly creature! You are not even good enough to be my slave. If you wanted a chance to fight me,
then defeat my four guards before you can touch me. I am sure you will have a good time with them. Of
course, don't expect that they will be lenient with you!" Alston looked coldly at Rocky. He wanted to
doom his annoying brother to death, but knew it should not be too brazenly done. So he arranged
carefully the four of his Heavenly Stage guards to engage with Rocky. By the time they managed to kill
Rocky, he could cover it up as being unintentional.
Rocky clenched his fists and looked around for the situation in front of him. He did not want to waste
his time and energy with these people. He just wanted to see Lena. He needed to explain himself to
her. Even if it was true that Lena did not want to see him, he would want to hear it from her in person. If
Lena herself told him that she did not want to see him again, he would not stay one minute more.
Staring in determination, he once again resorted to his spiritual power at the Earthly Stage, in an
attempt to force another attack.
But Iron, one of Alston's four guards, blocked him after he advanced for only a short distance. Iron
punched by a single fist on the ground, causing a stream of powerful spiritual power to surge up
abruptly from underground, ripping the land into fissures. It soon struck Rocky and blew him far away.
Thumping heavily onto the ground, he groaned in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood. But he chose
to charge forward once again without any hesitation.
This time, it was Hawk, another guard of Alston's. He seemed to have shown up from nowhere.
Immediately, he turned his hands into hawk talons which armed by spiritual power to form a speedy
and powerful attack on Rocky. By this time, Rocky was already heavily hurt. There was not any inch of
intact skin over his body. He half kneeled on the ground to support his body but could not help panting
and sweating all over.
The depth of the wound could not deter Rocky's resolution to advance. His eyes were now bloodshot.
He took out a bottle of magical saliva and drank a few drops of it. His wounds soon recovered, and
then he forced another attempt to break through the line of guards.
He repeatedly charged forward and was thrown back each time. But thanks to the powerful resilient
efficacy of the magical saliva, he was able to recover and repeat the attack after he got hurt by the
guards. And he never gave up hope to break through and get to Lena.
Everyone at the scene was shock by Rocky's momentum. He kept attacking crazily without considering
his own safety. And what impressed them most was the fact that the one at the Earthly Stage did
actually survive the alternate attacks from the four guards at the medium level of the Heavenly Stage.
Alston certainly took notice of Rocky's peculiar habit of drinking the magical saliva. He wondered what
was in that bottle that enabled Rocky to resist the attack until now.
At this moment, Rocky was black and blue all over. His face was paler than a ghost's, having lost a lot
of blood from the multiple injuries that he'd sustained. However remarkable the resilient efficacy the
magical saliva was, it was sufficient to cure the wound but would never suffice to elevate his power to
defeat them. He had drank a total of two whole bottles of the magical saliva by now. His body was
totally maxed out. And there was only one bottle of the magical saliva left. If he could not break through
by the time he consumed this last bottle, he would be done.
"Bastard, are you so eager to die? Then, kill him as his wish," Alston sneered as he delivered his order.
Since Rocky went all out to attack, he would not show any mercy on him.
At that moment, Rocky pulled himself together again, and took out the last bottle of magical saliva. This
time, he drank half the bottle all at once. Then he made a deep breath and roared as he unleashed his
spiritual power. He charged forward one more time as fast as a flash.
On the other side, it was Iron and Hawk who stood out to block Rocky simultaneously. They both
exerting their utmost power in order to kill Rocky at one stroke since they have received Alston's order.
The other two guards stood by his side, refraining from engaging in the fight. Alston thought it would be
more than enough to leave the task to both Iron and Hawk.
In an instant, Rocky countered with the two guards. But suddenly, he felt as though he had been
enveloped by a stream of strong power. As he was in a much lower level of cultivation base, he
became a thorough target of his enemies.
"Earth Dome Punch!"
"Icy Hawk Claw!"
Without any hesitation, the two guards attacked Rocky simultaneously from both sides. There was no
place left for Rocky to retreat at all.
Rocky never thought of running away at all. He smiled evilly in front of the co-attack of the guards. The
Dragon Spirit Mark on his left arm sparkled as stream of dull-color mist diffused in the air around his
arm.
After that, Rocky used his left arm to block the attack from Hawk. The dragon spiritual power managed
to engulf the spiritual power of the hawk claws in an instant. But at the same time, a powerful fist
shinning with flames punched toward his right shoulder!
