CHAPTER 723 PLAY WITH YOU

"Are you really not afraid of death?" asked Rocky. He was disturbed by Woods' action, rather the lack

of it, as he was about to kill him. Woods was strangely composed as though he had accepted his fate.

"The fear of death does not make me immune to it. So why not accept it as a part of life and die

peacefully?" Woods replied with a reassuring smile.

"Well, you at least resent me, curse me, haunt me till the end of my days. If it weren't for me, you

wouldn't be here in the first place," Rocky said, still confounded by Woods' calmness. He knew what

Alston was planning. He was just a bait to lure Woods into the trap. Woods should have known this as

well. He should have hated Rocky for it, but still he didn't.

"Maybe I should hate you. But then again, if I didn't insist on catching you, things might not have ended

like this. But who knows? There is no 'if' in this world. And what has happened is already in the past.

It's impossible to go back in time. Plus, you are doing this to save the person you care for. It's one life

for another," answered Woods in a tranquil tone.

"If I don't die, I owe you my life," said Rocky. He then stretched his hand into his arms as his spiritual

power began to rise. He made his way to Woods.

The faces of Woods' three bodyguards changed when they saw this. They wanted to rush forward in

order to save him, but they were tightly surrounded by their opponents. All they could do was watch

helplessly.

Just as Rocky was in front of Woods, he suddenly shouted and pulled out his hand from his arms.

Strong waves of beast-like energy shrouded Woods, and a bright, dazzling light appeared out of his

chest.

Blood spurted out of Woods' mouth as he howled in pain. He was sent flying backwards by a

mysterious force. He rolled on the ground for a few times due to the force of the impact before stopping

completely. There he lay still on the ground, as if he was dead.

"Your Royal Highness!" Woods' bodyguards were in utter disbelief. They didn't expect Rocky would

actually kill their master. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The black-robed spirit manipulator beside Alston immediately appeared next to Woods to check on his

pulse. He then nodded to Alston, signaling that Woods was indeed dead.

Alston burst into laughter and applauded upon seeing this. "Well done! Well done, Rocky! You surely

have made an invaluable contribution to the Holy Dragon Empire! If our father knew of what you've

done, he will surely be happy. But unfortunately, he doesn't know you are Basil. What a pity, ha-ha!"

After attacking Woods, Rocky immediately turned around and started to rush towards Sue. He knew

that Alston would never let anyone who saw his true colors live. So Sue's life was on the line.

"Mr. Bai..." Sue subconsciously rushed to Rocky as well.

In the blink of an eye, Rocky held Sue in his arms. He gathered his spiritual power to open the Magic

Spiritual Space so that he could leave with Sue with the help of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn's ability to

become invisible.

As this was happening, the air around Alston suddenly turned cold. A curve appeared on the edge of

his lips forming an eerie smile. A black figure teleported behind Rocky, hitting him with a rush of strong

spiritual power.

As Rocky was busy opening the Magic Spiritual Space, he couldn't dodge on time.

"Mr. Bai, watch out!" Sue, who was in Rocky's arms the whole time, saw the black figure approaching

him. She immediately pushed him away and stood in front of the figure.

"Don't! Sue, you must stay safe..." Rocky roared and his voice filled the quiet space of the forest and

reached into the sky.

"Mr. Bai..." Sue dropped into Rocky's arms again and called out his name for the last time. She then

closed her eyes and sank into his arms.

"Sue!" With his eyes bloodshot, Rocky was in an utter loss. He could not believe what had happened.

How could Sue die just like that?

"Oh my! How touching! I'm almost moved to tears. But this is just the beginning. I'll torture you till you

beg me to put an end to your miserable life." Alston laughed out loud as he watched what happened.

He drew every pleasure imaginable from the look on Rocky's face. He was almost euphoric. Alston

couldn't help but wait to turn Rocky's life into a living hell.

Rocky's heart seemed to stop. In fact, everything around him seemed to do so. He felt his body freeze

as the scene of Sue's death kept playing on his mind over and over again as if it were on a loop.

"Alston! I'll make sure to drag you with me to the pits of hell!" Rocky's eyes turned colder than ice as his

will spoke nothing except the death of Alston. Fury and anger burned inside him, giving life to his frozen

body.

"You? Kill me? Ha-ha! You must be joking!" Alston didn't falter at the threat made by Rocky.

"Hey, foodie! You're not my spirit-manipulated beast yet. I don't want you to get caught up in this battle.

If I die, then you'll be set free. You're grown up now, and you can take care of yourself," Rocky said to

the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. After he was done speaking, he forcefully closed the Magic Spiritual

Space. Although he knew its ability would be somewhat of use during a fight, he knew that the battle

did not favor him. The chances of him surviving the battle against a spirit manipulator at the Supernal

Stage and five at the Heavenly Stage were slim to none.

At the same time, Alston's four spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage rushed to Rocky after getting

rid of Woods' three bodyguards.

"You have two spirit-manipulated beasts? It turns out the rumor is true, but so what? I'll let my men play

with you first," Alston sneered. He then turned to the four spirit manipulators and gave them a look with

his eyes. "Just beat him half to death. His life will be left at the hands of Alyssa."
