"I'll apologize later. Right now, I've got something more important to do," Rocky said to Lena as he gestured for her to step aside.
"Although you managed to break into this place, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave alive," Alston sneered.
"Then I'll have to give it a try," Rocky retorted, as his eyes narrowed.
"Good. I don't plan on giving you another chance," Alston replied with a malevolent chuckle.
Right then, a mysterious figure cloaked in a black robe suddenly appeared by his side.
"Kill him!" Alston ordered.
"Don't order me around," the man in the black robe replied arrogantly.
"Don't you want the spiritual treasure?" Alston asked the mysterious man in return, his tone cold as ice.
The man in the black robe hesitated for a moment before directing his gaze towards Rocky. He then stretched his body as he was about to rush towards him and attack. Once Rocky noticed the weird aura emanating from the man in the black robe, he became more vigilant upon sensing that he was from the spiritual race.
The figure in black suddenly stretched out and waved his arm to summon his three-clawed scale palm out of thin air.
Rocky immediately felt the amazing spiritual power rush towards him without a sound. He quickly dodged it. A loud bang could be heard from all around and where he once stood was a hole measuring several meters deep.
"How powerful!" Realizing that his opponent burst out such strong power by merely waving his hand, Rocky guessed that he was an ordinary spiritual being at the advanced level or a much stronger level.
"Basil, be careful! He's a spiritual master," Lena reminded him.
The figure in black approached Rocky once more. This time, it appeared he intended to show no mercy. With another wave of his hand, a red beam of light rushed out of his palm and immediately headed for Rocky.
Rocky's expression changed. The beam of light advanced so quickly that there was no time for him to react. Although he did his best to resist it, he was still hit by it and forced to retreat a few meters, leaving deep scratches on the ground.
Almost immediately, the figure in black appeared in front of Rocky.
"Basil!" Lena swiftly rushed towards him. With a wave of her palm, her spiritual light and aura rose sharply once more. It appeared as though she was going to sacrifice her life to block the opponent's attack on Rocky.
But she was too late. The man in black had raised his hand to hit Rocky.
At that very moment, an intimidating figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the hand of the man in black. As the figure pressed his free hand forward, a surge of intense spiritual power rushed out of it like a stormy wave. It raised the dust several meters off the ground and caused a violent shockwave that was felt by everyone.
Seeing this, the man in black swiftly retreated and ended up landing on the ground a few meters away.
