CHAPTER 498 THE SURRENDER (PART TWO)
"You want to run away with your tail between your legs? I can just stab you to death within seconds!"
mocked the leader of the law enforcers.
Watching the space passage starting to collapse, magnified the purple-armored martial artist's anger.
He was resolved to utilize his most potent skill to take down Eddy.
As he was about to launch his attack, his body seemed to enlarge. Standing in the middle of the
Invincible Warfare Domain, he looked like a Genuine God who was summoning his power for the
assault. The spear in his hand began to shine with a blazing light as it filled full with the force of
belligerence. Then, to everyone's astonishment, the spear pricked nimbly through space and reached
Eddy's throat.
This time, the strike was beyond Eddy's power to resist. As the spear pointed at his throat, he could not
help experiencing a sudden shudder of terror. He quivered as a stream of chilling cold went over him.
"Fuck off!"
Driven by the horror, Eddy fumbled to seal the space passage by expediting his martial formula.
However, it was a tad too late, no matter how hard Eddy tried to speed it up.
In this small period, the purple-armored martial artist's spear had already slashed his throat, and now it
was slithering up towards his head.
The situation was critical and parlous for Eddy, for the resource of all his power: his head was now at a
stick.
"Soul Penetrating Skill!"
At this very moment of life and death, Eddy activated the most powerful soul attack skill he possessed.
He knew that the skill might not enable him to defeat the martial artist in purple armor, but he knew that
at least the skill would buy him some more time.
Consequently, the force of the Soul Penetrating Skill took the martial artist in purple armor less than
three seconds to react and overpower it.
The result of the fight was dramatic enough for both Eddy and the leader of the law enforcers. Just as
the purple-armored martial artist was about to slit through Eddy's head with his spear, the gate to the
space passage was sealed only in time. That being said, Eddy was literally dragged back from the
thresholds of death.
"Eddy, you will die! I swear you won't live to see tomorrow's sun!" the purple-armored martial artist
exclaimed frantically, noting that he had now become totally incapable of harming Eddy any longer. He
had failed in his duty—such a slap in his face.
A burst of power of heaven and earth aroused at the closure of the space passage, and that hauled
those grand warriors, including their leader, the purple-armored man backward. Before long, the six-
star grand warriors all had utterly been retreated and vanished from sight. Only the purple-armored
martial artist, the strongest one in the company, remained a longer time than the others, and then with
a desperate howl, he was sucked back to the Medium Spiritual World by the power.
All this time, Lawrence, Darren, and the other two men had been keeping close attention to the whole
process of the fight.
Among all of the people involved in the fight, the purple-armored martial artist was the one who
impressed Darren the most. The distinguished performance of the martial artist made him feel a great
sense of horror towards him.
He did not expect Eddy, who not only had a powerful soul, but also possessed a holy body, to hold up
against the attack of the martial artist for only a quarter of an hour. It was beyond all doubt that the
purple-armored martial artist would be able to put Eddy to death if he had gotten another several
seconds.
"The power of the seven-star grand warrior is indeed surprising," as the battlefield started to clear off a
little bit, Darren muttered with wonder.
"Fortunately, the law enforcers' leader gave Eddy quite a big strike. Otherwise, we would have been
harmed by that bastard too," grateful at once, Lawrence said with a sigh.
"Sir, why didn't you help the law enforcer? Eddy could have been waylaid if you had given the law
enforcer a hand," asked Horace sulkily, who had been quiet the whole time that the battle commenced.
He had been observing the fight from the beginning and had expected Eddy to be defeated by the
united force.
"It would not have helped if I had participated." Quite embarrassed, Lawrence shook his head in denial
and continued, "You know my strength is in utilizing space turbulent flows. But since the last time the
Bottom Spiritual World has been upgraded, the space in this world is very stable now. Without sufficient
space turbulent flows, my strength could not be as mighty as it was before. You have seen that even
the law enforcer had difficulty in breaking through space, not to mention me. I am at a much lower level
now.
That being said, even if I have used my rule power to interfere with the fight, it would have ended the
same."
"I see! Do you mean that you have lost your most powerful skill, and your level is degraded?" Horace
pursued as curiosity tickled his mind to ask more.
"It is indeed so," with a whispered-like voice, Lawrence replied in dismay.
He had his reasons for rejecting the fight. What could a warrior at a much lower level do to change the
result of the fight between two equally powerful warriors?
"Sir, what are we supposed to do next?" Darren asked Lawrence, staring worriedly at the scarlet body
of Eddy that was drifting in the sky. They could see that the wounds in Eddy's body were stitching
themselves together quickly. With no doubt, Eddy would be fully healed and would become as robust
and powerful as ever. If that were the case, then the path that was laid ahead would be disastrous for
any of the men present.
"Don't panic! Since I have already rescued you once, I won't shrink from the thought of saving you a
second time around. Although I am incapable of killing him now, I could still try some other ways."
Saying that, Lawrence turned to Eddy's figure.
"Eddy, let them go! I will stay here as your hostage!"
Lawrence called out loud to Eddy, his voice echoed through space.
Everyone was taken aback by Lawrence's offer. Everyone that heard such a suicide-intention was pale
in the face. 'Is this his means of rescuing us? By surrendering himself as a hostage?' This belongs to - ©.
"Sir, you cannot do that! Even if you had sacrificed yourself, that perilous bastard would not let us leave
quickly." Stalwart and bold, Darren stepped forward and stopped Lawrence.
