Only two very close explosions were heard, and those two sword edges were unexpectedly smashed into dust by Charlie’s fists!
Mr. Chardon, who only had a pair of red underwear covering his entire body, had just run about ten feet away. Initially, he had been using his sword to frantically escape without looking back in order to save his life.
However, after hearing two explosions, a sudden burst of excitement flashed in his heart!
These two explosions were noticeably different from the earlier ones when the sword edges had collided with the soul-piercing blades. These two explosions sounded more like the result of the sword hitting the target's body!
“Could it be… Could it be that Charlie didn't manage to evade my sneak attack?!” Mr. Chardon suddenly felt overjoyed at this thought.
He instinctively turned around, wanting to see if Charlie had been injured by his two swords. If so, he could capitalize on the advantage and perhaps take Charlie's head! However, at that moment, to his astonishment, he found Charlie’s sharply defined and extremely cold face just less than two steps away from him!
Charlie had actually caught up to him!
At this moment, Mr. Chardon was terrified and scared out of his wits. He turned his head back, intending to exert all his strength to escape, but he heard Charlie shouting again from behind him, “Thunder, come!”
The next second, Mr. Chardon felt another bolt of lightning accurately striking his skull! His legs immediately went weak, and his body lost balance in an instant. After staggering a few steps, his body crashed uncontrollably to the ground.
This bolt of lightning not only turned his red underwear into shreds but also reduced all the hair on his body to ashes, leaving burn marks on his skin!
As Mr. Chardon, who had run ten feet, rolled several times backward, he was now less than ten feet away from Ruby, who was hiding in the dark. When Ruby saw Mr. Chardon in such a pathetic state, she subconsciously closed her eyes and did not dare to continue looking any further.
As Charlie thought of this, he no longer pondered the matter of the divination but walked up to Mr. Chardon, looked down at him, and asked coldly, “Twenty years ago, when you killed my parents, did you ever think that something like today would happen?!”
Mr. Chardon stared blankly at Charlie. When he saw that he remained impassive without showing any change at all, a huge sense of fear and despair suddenly surged in his heart.
For the first time in a hundred years of cultivation, he felt the fear of death.
A deep intuition suddenly surged within him, telling him that his century-old cultivation might come to an end in Charlie’s hands.
Twenty years ago, he had killed Charlie’s father. Could it be that today, twenty years later, he was truly going to die in Charlie’s hands?!
