"Kid, are you out of your mind? You know better than I what kind of token that is. We have cooperated for so many years and have never made mistakes. Be careful. You are inviting trouble!" the old man cautioned.
"Ha-ha. Don't be silly, you old thing! He's just a piece of garbage at the Domain God Realm. How could he possess a token of a top killer? It's ridiculous. He must have found it by accident."
"Fuck off! Use your head, please. How could a top killer lose his token? It's not that simple!" the old man countered impatiently.
"You are so stupid. Perhaps he stole it. I was polite when I said that he accidentally acquired it. Who knows? Unless the sect leader gets involved, we don't need to worry."
The young killer had made himself clear. He wanted the killing points regardless of how the token was obtained.
"You're too naive. If he has the token, then a top killer must be backing him up. There is no need for us to provoke such a strong master." The old man tried to rationalize with the young man.
By then, Maxwell finally understood everything.
It turned out that the token was not an ordinary one, and only top killers could own it.
As far as he knew, a top killer earned that name after having killed at least three masters at the top-level of the Celestial God Realm.
Maxwell was both shocked and furious. Where did this brat get such a token?
However, he was reluctant to give up so easily. Every time he thought of Murphy and Darren, fury surged within him. They had stolen his treasures and mocked him. How could he not want to rip them to pieces?
"Sir, it is evident that the token was stolen from elsewhere. Here is the deal. You only need to help me break their defense array. I'll take care of the rest. That won't contradict your orders, right? If you agree, not only will you complete your task, but I will also get what I wish. It's a win-win plan!" Maxwell persisted.
"Old thing, what are you waiting for? One billion killing points are enough for us to exchange for the opportunity to be baptized in the spiritual pool. Perhaps we can successfully break through to the Supreme God Realm then. This is a rare opportunity. We can't refuse it," the young man continued to entice the old man with the hopes that he would agree.
The old man remained silent as he weighed his options. Regardless of the challenges and the danger, he coveted the killing points.
"Fine. Let's go all out! Go ahead!"
In the end, the old man couldn't resist the temptation, and he agreed.
On the other side, Darren and Murphy stood emotionlessly. Murphy was the calmest. Now that he had the armor, he had no reason to be afraid of Maxwell.
"That's right. Let's break it!" the young killer shouted.
Without further delay, the two of them bombarded the array.
They were undoubtedly masters at the top-level of the Celestial God Realm. Under their joint efforts, cracks began to appear in the defense array.
"Ha-ha-ha. I told you bastards that I would spare no cost to make you suffer. With the array crumbling, that moment is about to come. I will torment you in such evil ways that you will beg for death,"
Maxwell roared as he imagined Darren and Murphy kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, even worse than dogs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The array was on the verge of collapsing, and the disciples were at a loss for what to do next.
The noise finally reached Finley and Lindsay, who rushed over to investigate.
"Darren, what is happening?" Lindsay asked, perturbed. She felt the powerful attacking force but didn't know what was going on.
"It's okay. Don't worry. Go and find a place to hide. Master Murphy can handle this," Darren replied confidently.
Bang!
Finally, the defense array broke.
Maxwell was the first one to rush in, but he didn't attack.
"All right. I've breached your defenses. Let's see what you can do now. Why don't you find a way to flee? It doesn't matter if you try to run. I won't spare any disciple of your sect. As for your daughter, her suffering will be worse than yours. Only then will you know how cruel I am. Ha-ha!" The malicious smile on Maxwell's face distorted his features and lent him a maniacal appearance.
"Maxwell, relax. What makes you so confident? Just show me what you can do." Murphy's eyes were ice-cold, and his sword intent swirled around him threateningly.
