Chapter 1103 The Unexpected Turn Of Events
The crowd froze in disbelief. Alston had no time to react to Rocky's move and received the blow in an instant.
Despite the obvious gap in strength between them, the crowd thought that Alston would at least try to block the attack and minimize the strength of the blow. But Alston couldn't even move from his spot.
"You— What... What did you do?" Alston asked, pointing his finger at Rocky. His voice trembled in complete disbelief. His Thunder Dragon Spear lay on the ground, away from its master.
A sinister smile appeared on Rocky's lips. "Surprised? I devised this strike especially for you. It has never been used before."
The strike was a combination of Robin's speed attack and Ken's invisibility power, thereby making the quick attack invisible. Among the crowd, only the figure in the black robe and Bryant could sense the invisible strike's approach.
However, this strike consumed a large amount of spiritual power, especially when combined with the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. So, it could only be used once. Rocky was saving the attack and hadn't used it against any of the other spirit manipulators ever since his reappearance. He wanted to attack Alston without giving him a chance to counter. He had known all along that it would not be easy to kill Alston, who had the support of the spiritual race, with an ordinary attack. This combination attack was the ace up his sleeve to finish off Alston, once and for all.
Alston would never expect that his arrangements to deal with Rocky were frustrated by him one by one.
Even though he had gathered the most elite power of the royal family, it ended up being meaningless in front of Rocky.
After being hit by Rocky's deadly strike, Alston's body had been greatly damaged, and he could not hold on any longer. His legs gave away and he fell to the floor on his knees in front of Rocky, as if asking for his forgiveness.
Rocky's Frozen Wind Dagger was pointed towards Alston. He looked at the man on the ground coldly and asked, "You never imagined that you would end up like this, did you? This is called karma."
"I... Please... I don't want to die! Spare me!" The arrogant expression on Alston's face had turned into one of complete despair. He continued to spit blood and looked at the figure in the black robe not too far away from where he was. Alston was completely different from the man who was aggressive and fierce not long ago.
But the figure in the black robe remained unmoved.
Then Elder Duke, one of the few peerless masters at the Divine Stage, stood up and shouted while pointing his finger at Rocky, "No matter what kind of feud you had with the emperor, it's all over now. If you kill the emperor, you will be regarded as a traitor, even if you really are Prince Basil!"
Rocky looked at the crowd around him. They were staring at him, probably wondering if he was really about to kill the emperor.
Just at the moment, Bryant appeared beside Rocky in the blink of an eye. He grabbed Rocky's hand which was holding the Frozen Wind Dagger and said in a serious voice, "That's enough. It's meaningless to kill him now. He has already received the punishment he deserved."
Turning to look at Bryant, Rocky finally dissipated all his strength. His body shook lightly. He had obviously reached his limit.
The women led by Marcia appeared beside Rocky and supported him with all their strength. Marcia immediately took out the Dragon Twined Wood to seal the two layers of power released from Rocky's
body.
Bryant turned to look at the pitiful man on the ground. "Alston, when did you become a puppet of the Dragon Master Clan? Does the emperor's disappearance have anything to do with you?" he asked coldly.
Alston looked up at him and scoffed, "Everything— Everything I did... was for the Holy Dragon Empire. Everything! You... It's you...who are trying to... to take it away from me. You want to take away the Holy Dragon Empire from me! The empire is mine! It's mine!" Saying so, he started laughing wildly.
"Did you kill your brother for the Holy Dragon Empire as well?" Bryant asked with disgust.
Alston's laughter faded and he glared at him like a mad man. "He is not...Basil. Basil... He died a long time ago!" Alston would never admit Rocky's identity. He shouted in a mad fury, "You are on his side. You are all on his side! You are a group of traitors!"
Alston had completely lost all sense of sanity at that point.
Right then and there, a surge of strong auras suddenly appeared. The crowd reacted immediately and turned to the direction from where the auras were coming. They saw a few old men with white hair and a full forehead, aged over a hundred years, and they had the aura at the Immortal Stage. There was an eerie silence. Elder Kerr, who had fought with Rocky before and had suddenly disappeared, was also among them.
After receiving Elder Kerr's attack, Rocky had disclosed his identity and told him that he had the jade token. He had asked Elder Kerr to go to the Dragon Valley and wait for the royal family's founding members to tell him about it after they finished their cultivation. Elder Kerr was an elder of the royal family, and he figured this was a matter of great importance. Even Marcia and Lance were involved. So, he had rushed to the Dragon Valley without any hesitation and reported this matter to the founding
members who had just come out of their secluded cultivation. As soon as they heard, the founding members quickly rushed to the Palace City.
"The founding members of the royal family?" The crowd burst into an uproar. They had never expected that the founding members of the Emergency Chamber would come to witness this event unfold.
Alston's eyes went wide in shock as well. When he finally recovered his senses, he shouted, "Ah! Senior elders... you are finally here! The Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire... are rebelling! And destroying the peace of the Holy Dragon Empire!" Alston saw the founding members as his saviors.
After looking at each other, one of the founding members walked over to Bryant and Rocky.
"Are you Prince Basil?" the senior elder asked Rocky.
Rocky nodded curtly.
"Elder Kerr said you have the jade token entrusted to you by the former emperor?" the man continued to ask.
Rocky took out the jade token that his father had given him and showed it to the old man.
The elder soon confirmed the jade token was real and nodded.
"Why is the spiritual master of the Dragon Master Clan here?" Another senior elder looked sternly at the figure in the black robe.
The man in the black robe looked at the old men, then at Bryant and Rocky. In an instant, he appeared beside Alston.
"Take me away from here," Alston, who was badly injured and kneeling in a pool of blood, said to the figure.
However, the figure quickly grabbed Alston's head in his palm. Under the watchful eye of the public, Alston cried out in pain as the color faded from his face and the rest of his body quickly shriveled out. In the end, he turned into a disfigured dry corpse, and his body fell to the ground, smashing into several pieces.
Alston had met his end, and died horribly for his sins.
The next instant, the figure in the black robe, along with three other members of the spiritual race disappeared from the crowd. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard, their mouth agape.
