Chapter 279: Chapter 279 - Power Unleashed
Spotting this familiar figure, surprise flickered across my face.
"Roberts Joshua?" I stared blankly at the man before me.
Roberts Joshua glanced at me and said coldly, "Step aside."
But I said with some worry, "These three are all peak Grandmaster realm fighters. I’m afraid you can’t handle them alone."
After saying that, golden light wrapped around my body, and I quickly moved to stand beside Roberts Joshua.
Sensing my presence, Roberts Joshua said mockingly, "You’ve gotten quite a bit stronger."
I gave a bitter smile, "Right now isn’t the time for pointless chatter."
Roberts Joshua leaned back with his hands behind him and said coldly, "You, move back. If something happens to you, Miss Sean won’t let me off the hook."
"As for these three, I don’t even consider them a threat."
As he spoke, Roberts Joshua’s aura suddenly burst forth!
The overwhelming force actually shoved me back several steps!
This made my face change dramatically!
How terrifying was Roberts Joshua’s power?
How much had he been holding back before...?
Not far away, the three men’s faces changed as well.
They stared coldly at Roberts Joshua and said cautiously, "Who are you?"
"You don’t need to know," Roberts Joshua replied coldly.
"Either way, since you’ve invaded Pyro today, you’ll die here." Roberts Joshua stepped forward, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked into a massive crater!
My face went white, and I was even more stunned inside!
Clearly, Roberts Joshua’s strength was way beyond what I had imagined!
The three men’s faces grew even uglier. They hadn’t expected such a powerful person to be at my side.
"We’ve overstepped, and we’ll leave now," the three men actually decided to retreat.
After throwing out those words, they turned to go.
However, Roberts Joshua waved his hand!
A massive tree, thick enough for two people to wrap their arms around, suddenly crashed down with a loud boom, blocking the three men’s path!
"Like I said, since you came here, you can’t leave," Roberts Joshua said coldly.
The three men seemed somewhat pissed. They glared at Roberts Joshua with icy eyes and said, "We’re all at peak Grandmaster realm, and if we really fight, you might not beat us. Why push it this far?"
"Really? Then come and try!" Roberts Joshua stopped talking, stomped his foot, and his body vanished into thin air!
The speed was so insane that I was left speechless!
Roberts Joshua’s afterimage even lingered at the original spot!
"Bang!"
At such blazing speed, the three men couldn’t react in time, and one of them was directly pierced through the chest by Roberts Joshua! Blood poured out like a fountain!
"Don’t think we’re scared of you!" The three men were instantly furious, and their bodies erupted with techniques! The entire villa shook!
Roberts Joshua didn’t say a word. He lightly tapped his foot, and a formation actually appeared in front of him!
Within the formation, Roberts Joshua looked like a god. He stepped back, and waves of energy shot from his palm.
Fighting three enemies, Roberts Joshua didn’t lose ground—he even dominated them!
I stood not far away, getting more and more shocked.
Miss Sean’s personal bodyguard was beyond what I could imagine!
"Boom!"
Right then, Roberts Joshua raised his palm, and Inner Strength gathered in mid-air.
After a moment, it actually formed into a huge mountain!
The mountain slammed down, immediately making the three men cough up blood one after another!
The faces of the three Michelle Sect assassins went pale. They looked at each other and suddenly made hand seals at the same time!
"Ten Thousand Claws!"
As the three roared, a gigantic celestial hand suddenly appeared before them!
The giant hand turned its palm into claws, targeting Roberts Joshua in the air!
"You’re using cheap tricks; they’re worthless," Roberts Joshua said coldly.
Then he reached out with his palm and muttered softly, "Divine Palm!"
Using his palm to catch the claw attack, he didn’t even take the three Michelle Sect members seriously!
"Boom!"
When the two techniques collided, a massive shockwave exploded!
A terrifying aura spread from the center of the two attacks, radiating in all directions!
Under the impact of this collision, even I was thrown back several meters! White marks covered my entire body!
"Pu!"
Those three were no match for Roberts Joshua in the end; their bodies were flung back dozens of steps before they coughed up fresh blood, collapsing on the ground without moving!
Roberts showed no mercy, not even giving them a chance to speak!
He raised one hand, and suddenly, a massive blade appeared above the three!
"Slash!"
With a thundering shout from Roberts, the blade dropped on the three at incredible speed!
"Puchi!"
The three didn’t even get a chance to resist—their bodies were directly sliced in half!
Blood soaked the entire courtyard.
One look gave the feeling of hell on earth.
Roberts lightly shook his foot, and the formation beneath his feet slowly faded away.
Everything returned to calm, except for the addition of three corpses.
I couldn’t help but feel lingering dread, remembering my first meeting with Roberts.
If Roberts had wanted to kill me back then, would I already be dead?
"Are you okay?"
Right then, Roberts turned and glanced at me.
I quickly shook my head and said, "I’m fine, thank you."
I knew that Roberts had always looked down on me, so I didn’t try to get buddy-buddy with him.
"What, I kill three of your enemies for you, shouldn’t you buy me a drink?"
However, Roberts’s words left me stunned.
Was this still the same Roberts who had always despised me?
"Of course, please come inside," I snapped back to reality and said politely.
"Let me deal with these three bodies first." Roberts raised his hand and walked forward, then with one palm, the three corpses disappeared into thin air.
This technique surprised me somewhat.
"How did you do that?" I asked, confused.
Roberts shook his bracelet and said, "Spatial Magic Artifact."
"A Spatial Magic Artifact?" My eyes lit up immediately.
This was an incredibly valuable treasure! In the cultivation world, Spatial Magic Artifacts might not be worth much, but in the mortal realm, they were top-tier treasures!
"Do you like it?" Roberts asked, raising an eyebrow.
I smiled and said, "Who wouldn’t love such a sacred object, I guess?"
Roberts instantly took off the bracelet and tossed it to me.
"If you like it, it’s yours," Roberts said with some indifference.
I hesitated, then quickly returned the bracelet to Roberts, shaking my head repeatedly. "No, it’s too valuable. Plus, you saved my life. I should be thanking you."
"Take it, Miss Sean will cover the cost," Roberts said.
Miss Sean, of course, meant Mabel Sean.
This also helped me better understand the gap between myself and the Sean family.
I couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
The road to cultivation was long and hard. Catching up to the Sean family was no simple task, and being worthy of Mabel was like reaching for the sky.
In the room, I took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass for Roberts, and one for myself.
Roberts took a sip, then looked up at me.
"If you have any questions, ask them now. Today is your only chance," Roberts said indifferently.
I was startled, then quickly asked, "Really?"
I was dying to know everything about the Sean family but had no way to find out.
As Duane Sean’s personal bodyguard, Roberts definitely knew the Sean family inside and out!
