Chapter 1449 Golden Opportunity
However, Edgar did not seem to hear his warning. He continued to make his way to the throne. His eyes were filled with excitement as he approached.
Boom! Just as Edgar reached the throne and was about to lay his hand on it, he was driven back by a flash of white light. His entire being fell heavily on the floor. Instantaneously, his face turned pale.
The sudden surge of power appeared to have injured him! “This is a golden opportunity…”
Howard, who had been keeping an eye on Edgar, knew that his chance to strike had come. His eyes shone brightly with eagerness. Howard lifted his palm, and a tremendous aura rushed toward Edgar.
That one move of Howard’s palm embodied all of his martial energy, and it was directed at Edgar’s face. Clearly, it was Howard’s intention to kill with one strike!
Edgar was startled and attempted to get up on his feet to fight back. Unfortunately, the two men were too close in proximity, and Howard was already standing right in front of him before he knew it.
Edgar was about to be hit by Howard’s palm when Salvador leaped into the air and sent his palm in Howard’s direction.
Boom!
The thundering sound reverberated throughout the entire palace.
Howard’s body flung backward, slamming onto the wall in the next second. He started vomiting blood, and his arm was shaking.
At that moment, Edgar stood up and looked furious when he saw that Howard tried to ambush him.
“Edgar, are you trying to get all of us killed? You can’t touch the things here. If you happen to activate any trap, all of us will perish here!” Zion admonished him with annoyance.
Nonetheless, Edgar could not be bothered with Zion. Instead, he stared coldly at Howard.
“Howard, you b*stard! How dare you ambush me! I’m going to kill you today…”
The aura within Edgar became incredibly powerful, and a black glow appeared all over his body. He was fuming with anger!
Howard had known that his first strike at Edgar would also be his last. Now that he had lost the opportunity, he knew he would die for sure.
“Edgar, you are a scumbag in the martial arts world of Jadeborough. To think that the Deragons is a powerful sect. Yet, you have become a Demonic Cultivator. The Warriors Alliance is birds of the same feather. How can the lot of you even call yourselves martial artists!”
Knowing that he was not going to get out of that situation alive, Howard decided to speak his mind and told them off.
“You’re really asking for it…”
Edgar narrowed his eyes, raised his palm, and hurled an immense aura in Howard’s direction.
Before Howard could react, he was sent flying once more.
Judging from the expression on his face, he was in extreme pain. Howard tried to get up on his feet, but he could not.
However, that did not stop him from lashing out at the group.
“Edgar, kill me if you can. Scumbags like all of you will receive your just punishment in a matter of time,” Howard roared at Edgar through gritted teeth.
A smile appeared on Edgar’s face, and he walked slowly toward Howard. “You’re putting on a tough front as usual. I won’t grant you a quick death. I’m going to take my time and torture you until you die…”
Just as he finished speaking, a ball of black mist emerged from Edgar’s palm and went straight into Howard’s body.
In that instant, Howard felt an unbearable itch all over his body. Even his bones itched as if there were thousands of ants crawling in between them!
“Ah!”
Howard started to writhe on the floor in agony.
Edgar, on the other hand, was admiring his handiwork with a sneer. Zion did not even cast a glance at Howard. Whatever happened to Howard had nothing to do with him. All he cared about was the magical items in that palace!
He was particularly interested in the throne. Earlier on, the arcane array activated by that throne had thrown Edgar a distance away. Zion had never experienced such a powerful aura before!
With his eyes set on the throne, Zion scrutinized it carefully and hoped to find a way to neutralize the arcane array. He was also captivated by the mermaid sculpture on the throne. When Zion looked into the eyes of the mermaid, he kept feeling an icy sensation within him.
