Chapter 400
The two Elders swung their swords. With a deafening boom, their sword energies shattered instantly as the white sword energy continued its relentless descent.
Panic-stricken, the Elders hastily raised their swords to block the attack.
Another explosion rocked the ground as the overwhelming energy struck them, sending the Elders crashing to the ground.
With a loud bang, it created two massive craters that kicked up clouds of dust.
"Shield Mr. Luke!" The attendants and guards drew weapons and formed a protective circle around Luke.
"Stand in my way, and you'll die!" Sebastian charged at Luke, wielding a short sword he had found in the villa. It wasn't his weapon of choice, but it beat fighting barehanded.
Sebastian sliced several guards in his path into halves with a single swing. Instantly, blood pooled on the ground. Their screams of agony sent chills down everyone's spines.
The onlookers erupted in panic, screaming and fleeing in all directions.
Undeterred, Sebastian pressed forward, killing anyone who dared to impede his advance.
Luke's face was drained of color as he fled under the cover of his guards.
Sebastian leaped into the air like a predatory bird, aiming straight for Luke.
"Grandpa, help me!" Luke cried out in terror as Sebastian closed in. Even the guards were powerless to stop Sebastian.
"Die!" Sebastian shouted, thrusting his sword toward Luke's chest.
Just as the blade was about to pierce Luke, a guard lunged at Sebastian, aiming a palm strike at his stomach.
Sebastian reacted swiftly and countered with a palm strike. The clash of their energies sent a shockwave that knocked everyone nearby off their feet.
Instantly, the guard crashed to the ground, creating a crater on impact and sending dust swirling into the air.
Sebastian was propelled 60 feet into the sky by the force of their collision.
Before he could land, the elderly man who had attacked him leaped up again to deliver a powerful punch aimed straight at Sebastian. The force was overwhelming and capable of destroying anything in its path.
At the same time, a shadowy figure emerged from a distance, swooping in like a predator. He emanated a chilling presence that made the onlookers' blood run cold.
Without hesitation, Sebastian exchanged blows with the Elder beneath him and used the
momentum to retreat. Once on the ground, he turned and fled.
The Elder beneath Sebastian was likely the esteemed Elder of the Lennon family, Dave Lennon, a late-stage divine grandmaster.
While Sebastian could handle one-on-one combat, facing both the esteemed Elder and the fearsome Julian was akin to a death sentence.
"Stop!" Julian and Dave gave chase, but Sebastian was too quick and had escaped.
However, Julian had foreseen this and stationed archers around the area. These archers wielded crossbows designed to kill cultivators and pierce even the toughest defenses.
In the blink of an eye, their arrows rain down on Sebastian like a raging storm.
Sebastian remained composed and summoned his spiritual energy to form a protective barrier around himself. With that, the countless arrows clinked harmlessly against it as if striking steel.
With a wave of his hand, Sebastian unleashed a wave of sword energy and destroyed a swath of archers before making his escape.
