Chapter 706
+25 Bonus
Countless eyes fell on Ashton. The crowd was curious how he would respond to the Sage’s blatant provocation.
Reactions split across the crowd. Some expected a spectacle, while others were filled with worry or anticipation.
Ashton ignored them. Deep in his eyes, twin flames burned, dark and violent, like a black dragon stirring awake. He looked up at Grandcrest Estate’s deadly array and found its core almost instantly. A contemptuous smirk curled on his lips.
Ashton had come to Grandcrest Estate to make his own statement. He intended to make every enemy and traitor feel fear at the deepest level.
He moved on as if the kill grid didn’t exist. With his arms around Hazel and Rhonda, his expression still defiant as he stepped straight into its range. The killing intent surged instantly.
The two women shuddered and pressed closer to him, their faces draining of color. They knew better than anyone how terrifying the estate’s formation was.
Their lives were bound to his now. Otherwise, they would never have followed him this far.
Hazel and Rhonda caught a glimpse of Flint from the corner of their eyes. All they felt in return was only cold indifference and
naked intent to kill.
The reality was clear. If Ashton died tonight at Grandcrest Estate and failed to become the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury, they wouldn’t leave this place alive.
“Ashton really walked in here with the Sage’s daughter and his woman. Does he want to die? This is the Tenfold Deadly Array set up by the Sage himself. It can kill anyone below the divine realm. Ashton is only in the transcendent realm. No matter how strong he is, he is bound to die under such a dense array.”
“He’s just as arrogant as the rumors say. Unfortunately for him, he came to the wrong place. Under the Tenfold Deadly Array, he’ll be ground to dust. He doesn’t even have the right to stand before the Sage, let alone become the new ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury.”
“We’ve already won this bet. Every faction supporting Ashton will be cast into the abyss. From now on, this city will be our territory, and no one will dare to oppose us.”
“Ashton is just a nobody. But I still want to see him die with my own eyes.”
“The Sage’s 80th birthday banquet starts with Ashton dead. Everyone here gets to enjoy it.”
“Ashton’s a joke, He’s not fit to challenge the Sage. Trying to provoke the Sage only hastens his death.”
“He’ll die under the Tenfold Deadly Array.”
Jeers and insults rang out.
The powerful figures from the Sage’s camp sneered, their eyes gleaming with malice. They couldn’t wait to see Ashton die under the lethal beams of the array and collapse into a pool of blood.
As Ashton closed the distance, Flint let out a heavy snort. The killing intent in his eyes exploded. He raised a long arm and gave a cold command.
“Tenfold Deadly Array, activate!”
In an instant, the lethal beams forming in the air unleashed their full killing intent. They glowed with a blinding, ghostly light.
“Kill him!”
Flint dropped his hand.
