Chapter 183: Ungrateful Granddaughter
"Brat, you're too arrogant. Do you really think that we won't kill you because you're from China?"
"Even though you have peak Divinity Phase experts to protect you, I will definitely kill you if you keep talking!"
Hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Dark Palace and the right guardian of the Sacred Mountain spoke at almost the same time. They looked at Jacob with bloodlust in their eyes.
"What a joke!" Jacob snorted coldly, "If you leave now, you can survive. If you continue to bother me, I will kill all of you today!"
As soon as Jacob finished, not only members of the Dark Palace and the Sacred Mountain but also Shaan were stunned.
How could Jacob be so arrogant?
His words sent a chill down Shaan's spine.
Elsa had witnessed that Jacob defeated seven Divinity Phase experts in a row, and killed Olaf as well as the other two people. Olaf had reached the late stage of Divinity Phase. Elsa knew very well that even her grandfather was no match for Olaf, but Olaf died at Jacob's hands.
Elsa had absolute confidence in Jacob.
However, a trace of worry flashed through her eyes.
"Brat, you're courting death."
The Third Elder of the Dark Palace was an intermediary Divinity Phase expert. Right now, two guardians of the Sacred Mountain were here. The Grand Elder and the Second Elder had to be on guard against those two guardians. It was of no benefit to them to attack first, or the two guardians would get a clue from them.
The Third Elder didn't have any worries. Therefore, after receiving the signal from the Grand Elder, he didn't hesitate at all but immediately walked out rapidly.
Even though Jacob had just managed to endure a punch from the Grand Elder, the Third Elder had absolute confidence.
After he came out, an iron hammer appeared in his hand. Zhen Qi in his body surged out like a tide.
"Go to hell!"
The Third Elder shouted, and then the hammer in his hand swung towards Jacob.
Instantly, an incomparably ferocious hammer beam smashed towards Jacob.
This hammer could smash an ordinary person into pieces in an instant. Elsa, who was not far away, felt as if she was suppressed by its aura.
However, Jacob put on a cold smile once again. He casually waved his hand, and the pressure on Elsa's body instantly dissipated.
"How dare a mere intermediary Divinity Phase cultivator confront me? You are simply courting death."
Then, Jacob clenched his right hand into a fist and casually waved it at the Third Elder.
A heaven-shaking sound spread throughout the surroundings.
The Third Elder couldn't keep balance until he took five or six steps backwards.
The beam of the hammer that he created was directly smashed into the air by Jacob's punch. The Third Elder turned pale, and a trace of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Dark Palace suddenly narrowed their eyes. The three members from the Sacred Mountain looked serious. However, there was also a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.
They were happy to see experts from the Dark Palace get injured.
"Come back."
Given the situation, the Grand Elder of the Dark Palace immediately judged that the Third Elder was no match for Jacob.
A trace of bitterness flashed through the Third Elder's eyes.
However, in the Dark Palace, there was an incomparably clear hierarchy.
Even though he was an intermediary Divinity Phase cultivator and the Third Elder of the Dark Palace, he didn't dare to go against the Grand Elder in the slightest.
The Third Elder gave Jacob a cold glance and was about to retreat.
When Jacob saw this, he coldly snorted, "You dared to attack me. Then you won't be able to return. You will only die!"
As Jacob finished, several fist imprints instantly appeared in the air, transforming into light that shot straight towards the Third Elder.
The Third Elder, who was about to retreat, was shocked.
Instantly, he sensed a threat of death. The Zhen Qi in his body started to circulate crazily. Then, it erupted, and the hammer in his hand continuously swung out, emitting rays of light. They were attacking fist imprints that Jacob had created.
However, the moment the hammer light came into contact with the fist imprint, the Third Elder's expression instantly changed.
He turned incomparably pale.
He didn't know it before the two objects collided.
Only after they came into contact did the Third Elder was terrified by the power of Jacob's fierce fist imprints.
This kind of power completely crushed the Third Elder.
The sound of the explosion continued to burst out in the sky.
All of his hammer lights exploded.
However, even though Jacob's fist imprint had been weakened, it still carried an incomparably terrifying amount of power as it threw towards the Third Elder.
Third Elder spat out a mouthful of blood and his expression changed drastically. This time, the hammer in his hand was waved with all his might.
However, the Third Elder did not release any more hammer light. Instead, he used the hammer to continuously bombard Jacob's fist imprints with his surging Zhen Qi.
One!
Two!
Three!
In the end, all of Jacob's fist imprints were caught by the hammer in Third Elder's hand.
The Third Elder was breaking through the tenth fist imprint.
A crisp voice sounded in the air.
Everyone saw that countless cracks instantly appeared on the hammer in Third Elder's hand.
Then, it shattered.
It turned into fragments.
"How can it be?"
The Third Elder was once again shocked to the extreme.
This hammer was made from tungsten steel.
It was a real offensive magical artifact.
It was incomparably powerful and hard.
The Third Elder had used it for twenty years, and he had fought countless battles. At most, there were only breaches. Today, it was directly shattered?
"Be careful!"
Just as the Third Elder was in a state of shock, the Grand Elder's voice suddenly rang out.
What?
The Third Elder's hair stood on its end in an instant.
A fatal threat enveloped his entire body. He had a feeling that in the next second, he would die.
The Third Elder had never had such a feeling before.
He wanted to dodge it. However, he didn't have time to take action.
In a flash, another figure appeared.
It was as if that person had suddenly crossed space and appeared in front of the Third Elder in a blink of an eye.
Then, an extremely powerful force struck his chest.
...
A sound of bone cracking sounded.
After that, the Third Elder flew backwards.
A fist-sized bloody hole appeared on his chest.
All the ribs around his chest were shattered into pieces.
In the air, a large amount of blood was sprinkled.
Because of this punch, he directly flew backwards more than twenty meters before landing on the ground.
By the time he landed, the Third Elder had already lost his vitality.
Until he died, he still hadn't fully understood what happened.
His eyes widened in anger.
His eyes were filled with shock, horror, and confusion.
The Third Elder had never thought that he would die just like that!
...
The Third Elder attacking Jacob and then the former flew backwards and died.
In fact, it only took a few seconds.
No one had expected such an outcome.
Shaan stared blankly at Jacob's back in shock.
How strong Jacob was!
He killed an intermediary Divinity Phase expert after launching only one attack.
He almost slew the other party within a second.
It was easy for one who had reached the late stage of Divinity Phase to defeat or kill the intermediary Divinity Phase cultivator. But to make it within a second was not easy.
Jacob did it in front of them.
Things happened so fast that even the Grand Elder of the Dark Palace couldn't reach out to rescue him.
Didn't this mean that Jacob was even stronger than him when he was at his peak?
Shaan felt somewhat afraid and grateful.
Fortunately, he didn't attack Jacob because he wasn't confident that he could instantly kill Jacob.
Otherwise, who would have died back then might not have been certain.
Then it was impossible for Jacob and Elsa to save Shaan today.
Shaan's gaze at Jacob was full of complicated emotions.
However, members of the Sacred Mountain instantly looked at Jacob vigilantly, gloating over the Third Elder's misfortune.
There was even a hint of gratitude.
There were only three members from the Sacred Mountain here. The left and right guardians were at the late stage of Divinity Phase while the other elder was at the preliminary stage.
Four elders from the Dark Palace had come. The Grand Elder and the Second Elder were at the late stage. The Third Elder was at intermediary Divinity Phase, and the Fourth Elder was at the preliminary
stage.
They had one more intermediary Divinity Phase expert than the Sacred Mountain.
Now, two parties were even.
"Jacob, how dare you kill members of the Dark Palace? Regardless of your identity or background, you will die today."
The Grand Elder of the Dark Palace looked at Jacob with bloodlust.
It was unprecedented.
"Let's attack in unison and kill him."
After that, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Dark Palace attacked Jacob almost at the same time.
Both of them were experts who had reached the late stage of Divinity Phase.
They were the elders of the Dark Palace. They were very clear about the strength of the Third Elder, who was an intermediary Divinity Phase expert.
If it were them, they would definitely not be able to instantly kill the Third Elder as easily as Jacob.
They knew that it was uncertain whether each of them alone could win Jacob, not to mention to kill Jacob.
Since that was the case, they could work together so as to behead Jacob.
...
"The two experts of the late stage of Divinity Phase are working together!"
When Shaan saw that the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Dark Palace ranged against Jacob, he narrowed his eyes.
Under the effects of the Small Resurrection Panacea and Jacob's energy, his injuries had almost recovered.
This kind of effect was quite shocking on Earth.
Shaan could no longer care about recovering from his injuries. He protected Elsa behind him and quickly mobilized his Zhen Qi, ready to help Jacob at any time.
Shaan was worried that if he attacked now, perhaps the people from the Sacred Mountain would use this opportunity to control Elsa and threaten them. Otherwise, Shaan wished he could help Jacob now. Jacob came with Elsa and saved him. Now, Shaan subconsciously treated Jacob as his grandson-in-law.
"Elsa, you don't seem... to be worried."
Shaan realized that his granddaughter was not worried when she saw the two late-stage Divinity Phase experts working together to kill Jacob.
"Grandfather, Jacob is very powerful. Before he came here, he had already killed Olaf and the others to avenge you. These two are not his opponents."
Elsa said.
As she spoke, she had a proud expression on her face.
Hearing this, Shaan was slightly surprised.
Olaf was dead?
He was killed by Jacob?
"Really?"
Shaan looked at Elsa in disbelief.
A few years ago, Shaan came to kill Olaf, leaving him with no way to escape. He almost killed Olaf. In the end, Olaf suffered from serious injuries and escaped with luck.
However, after a few years, Olaf reappeared and arrived at the Triangle Region, much stronger than before.
Olaf, who had been beaten by Shaan back then, was now invincible.
Although Shaan suffered from internal injuries for years and didn't dare to attack with all his might, it was enough to prove Olaf's current strength.
Now, he was killed by Jacob.
Moreover, two other Divinity Phase experts were helping Olaf. But all three were slain.
Elsa gave Shaan a playful look. "Grandpa, you may not believe me, but you must trust Jacob. He is really strong."
Shaan was astonished.
Having raised his granddaughter for so many years, he now found his granddaughter ungrateful and felt his efforts had gone to waste.
Since Jacob was able to kill Olaf and the others, even if he was facing two experts at the late stage of Divinity Phase from the Dark Palace, nothing wrong would happen to him. Shaan hurriedly cast his gaze towards the arena again.
