Chapter 1101 The New Helper
"I'll apologize later. Right now, I've got something more important to do," Rocky said to Lena as he gestured for her to step aside.
"Although you managed to break into this place, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave alive," Alston sneered.
"Then I'll have to give it a try," Rocky retorted, as his eyes narrowed.
"Good. I don't plan on giving you another chance," Alston replied with a malevolent chuckle.
Right then, a mysterious figure cloaked in a black robe suddenly appeared by his side.
"Kill him!" Alston ordered.
"Don't order me around," the man in the black robe replied arrogantly.
"Don't you want the spiritual treasure?" Alston asked the mysterious man in return, his tone cold as ice.
The man in the black robe hesitated for a moment before directing his gaze towards Rocky. He then stretched his body as he was about to rush towards him and attack. Once Rocky noticed the weird aura emanating from the man in the black robe, he became more vigilant upon sensing that he was from the spiritual race.
The figure in black suddenly stretched out and waved his arm to summon his three-clawed scale palm out of thin air.
Rocky immediately felt the amazing spiritual power rush towards him without a sound. He quickly dodged it. A loud bang could be heard from all around and where he once stood was a hole measuring several meters deep.
"How powerful!" Realizing that his opponent burst out such strong power by merely waving his hand, Rocky guessed that he was an ordinary spiritual being at the advanced level or a much stronger level.
"Basil, be careful! He's a spiritual master," Lena reminded him.
The figure in black approached Rocky once more. This time, it appeared he intended to show no mercy. With another wave of his hand, a red beam of light rushed out of his palm and immediately headed for Rocky.
Rocky's expression changed. The beam of light advanced so quickly that there was no time for him to react. Although he did his best to resist it, he was still hit by it and forced to retreat a few meters, leaving deep scratches on the ground.
Almost immediately, the figure in black appeared in front of Rocky.
"Basil!" Lena swiftly rushed towards him. With a wave of her palm, her spiritual light and aura rose sharply once more. It appeared as though she was going to sacrifice her life to block the opponent's attack on Rocky.
But she was too late. The man in black had raised his hand to hit Rocky.
At that very moment, an intimidating figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the hand of the man in black. As the figure pressed his free hand forward, a surge of intense spiritual power rushed out of it like a stormy wave. It raised the dust several meters off the ground and caused a violent shockwave that was felt by everyone.
Seeing this, the man in black swiftly retreated and ended up landing on the ground a few meters away. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"An Immortal Stage master?" The man in black stared at the newcomer in disbelief.
"Prince Basil, are you alright?" the intimidating figure asked Rocky.
"Chief Bryant, you arrived just in time! But what made you change your mind?" Rocky asked with a sigh of relief.
The new helper turned out to be Bryant, the chief of the Ximen Clan and the most powerful general of the Holy Dragon Empire!
"Even the spiritual master of the Dragon Master Clan is involved in this battle. It appears that things aren't as simple as I thought. I had to do something to prevent the Holy Dragon Empire from getting involved in any further trouble!" Bryant said with a frown. He had been watching the battle in the dark for a long time. If the figure in black didn't show up, he might have never made a move. Seeing the man in black attack, he knew that he had to do something.
Alston's face darkened immediately when he saw Bryant show up at the last minute.
The elites of the royal family were just as surprised. The Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire—Marcia, Lance, and Bryant—had all decided to side with Rocky.
Apparently, the situation was favorable to Rocky now.
"Everyone stop! The man before Alston is none other than Prince Basil. For his own selfish reasons, Alston lied to you all when he announced the prince's death. Do not be deceived by him," Marcia announced in a loud voice once the right time came.
Her voice quickly spread throughout the entire square in front of the Witch Palace. Those who supported Alston, including those elites from the royal family, were baffled.
"Is he… really Prince Basil?" an elder of the royal family among the several peerless masters of the Divine Stage asked in disbelief.
"I, Lance and Bryant, as the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, pledge with our lives that the man before you truly is Prince Basil and that he is not dead. Alston faked his death as part of his plan. He is the chief culprit behind all of this!" Marcia exclaimed, announcing Alston's crime to the public.
Upon hearing this, Alston's people burst into an uproar. Obviously, they were outraged by the truth.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. They intend to rebel and take over the throne!" Alston shouted ferociously.
"Everyone, listen. What happened today was between me and Alston. I don't wish to see any more casualties or get any more people involved. Everyone, please back off!" Rocky announced to the crowd as loudly as he could with sharp eyes.
Soon, the entire crowd became silent. Everyone was now focused on Alston and Rocky.
Perhaps it was because of Marcia's speech that Alston's people dared not to make a single move. With the sudden appearance of the two leaders of the two army groups of the Holy Dragon Empire—Marcia and Lance, and the chief of the Ji Clan—Elvis, and the chief of Ximen Clan, Bryant, and also the sudden involvement of the spiritual race, many were full of doubts about what really happened.
Additionally, Alston appeared to have completely lost his mind. Everyone who sided with him now had to take more careful consideration of the matter.
"Damn it!" Alston cursed lout loud upon seeing his men stop. He glared at Bryant maliciously. If it weren't for Bryant's sudden appearance, Rocky might have died long ago.
"Alston, it's the right time for us to settle our long-term grudge once for all today," Rocky said to his enemy coldly.
"Humph! Killing you is easy for me!" Alston knew Rocky had already reached this limit. He felt sure that getting rid of Rocky once and for all would be a piece of cake.
