Chapter 373: Chapter 373 - Divine Intervention
Jerry Sean’s expression shifted momentarily, though he quickly regained his composure.
Clasping his hands behind him, he looked northward and let out a quiet sigh, "Logan Sean, your cruelty knows no bounds..."
"Got anything else to add?" Mr. Adams remarked offhandedly.
Jerry Sean showed no trace of fear on his face, having barely escaped death before, he maintained his calm demeanor.
"Trade my life for his," Jerry Sean declared, gesturing toward Mason Raymond lying on the ground.
Mr. Adams scoffed, "Are you deaf? Mr. Sean wants both of you dead!"
The instant he finished speaking, Mr. Adams’s hand shot forward, seizing Jerry Sean by the throat!
The crushing grip made breathing nearly impossible for Jerry Sean!
His face flushed crimson, his neck on the verge of snapping!
"Die!" Madness blazed in Mr. Adams’s eyes!
Just then, a blade came slashing down!
The sword’s gleam flashed, severing Mr. Adams’s arm clean off!
"Ahh!!!" Mr. Adams howled in agony!
Turning around, there I stood with a bronze sword in my grip, glaring fiercely at Mr. Adams!
"Jerry Sean..." I struggled to turn toward Nikolai Sean.
Jerry Sean parted his lips, a flicker of thankfulness showing in his gaze.
"While I can still move, I won’t allow you to harm him..." I forced myself upright, fixing my stare on Mr. Adams.
Mr. Adams roared in fury, "You severed my arm! I’ll destroy you, destroy you!"
Mr. Adams lost all control, his fists hammering down on me like a violent storm!
Right now, I’d already lost any power to fight back, my reactions even more sluggish than before.
My body took such a beating it nearly fell apart, leaving me completely covered in blood!
"You two, go finish him off!" Mr. Adams shouted, pointing at Jerry Sean.
The pair looked at each other and immediately advanced toward Jerry Sean.
"Stay back... keep away!"
In that instant, I summoned my remaining strength to position myself in front of Jerry Sean!
"I told you... I won’t let you lay a finger on him!" I said icily.
"Death wish!" Mr. Adams charged forward, delivering a brutal kick to my chest!
My body wavered but I remained standing before Jerry Sean!
Witnessing this, Mr. Adams’s face darkened.
"Let’s see how much more you can take!" Mr. Adams balled his fists, unleashing a savage barrage on my body.
The relentless assault left my body full of wounds!
Countless bones cracked, and blood poured from my mouth like a fountain!
Yet through it all, I stubbornly maintained my position, protecting Jerry Sean like an immovable fortress!
"This can’t be happening!" Mr. Adams felt his sanity slipping!
Even a Peak Grandmaster might not have survived such brutal punishment!
How could he, merely a Grandmaster, endure this much!
"Mason Raymond, you... stop pushing yourself." Jerry Sean whispered shakily.
I opened my mouth to respond, but the moment I tried, blood flooded out.
"What a lunatic!" Mr. Adams said coldly.
He lifted his palm, and a shimmer of light formed in his grasp.
Shortly after, a gleaming blade materialized in his hand.
"Your end!" Mr. Adams bellowed furiously, then drove the sword directly into my heart!
"Puff!"
I coughed up fresh blood, and my sight started growing dim.
"Mr... Mr. Sean..." My hand stretched toward Jerry Sean’s direction, but my body crashed heavily to the ground.
——
"Mason Raymond..." Jerry Sean’s tears streamed down freely.
He’d never imagined that Mason would sacrifice so much to shield him.
Mr. Adams smirked, "To avoid any complications, sever his head and bring it back as proof."
"Understood." The two Grandmasters nodded, immediately raising their blades to strike at Mason’s neck.
"Clang!"
Right as the sword was about to reach Mason’s neck, a flash of light streaked by, destroying the weapon in his grasp!
"What? Who goes there?" All three turned their attention toward the distance.
"Murdering my Divine Alchemist Pavilion elder right at my pavilion’s entrance, seems you don’t respect me at all."
A somewhat sultry voice drifted from nearby.
Looking over, they spotted a woman walking slowly toward them.
Eight attendants flanked her.
Every one of these eight attendants had reached Peak Grandmaster level!
"Who might you be?" Mr. Adams inquired coldly.
"How insolent! She is our Divine Alchemist Pavilion Master!" the Chief Enforcement Elder thundered!
"The Divine Alchemist Pavilion Master?" Mr. Adams’s expression shifted slightly.
He turned toward the Pavilion Master, bowing as he said, "I’ve met the Pavilion Master."
The Pavilion Master spoke coolly, "Whatever disputes exist between you, end this now."
Mr. Adams’s brow creased slightly, and he glared coldly at the Pavilion Master, saying, "They’re the Sean family’s foes. Does the Pavilion Master truly wish to get involved in this affair?"
"Get involved? Are you hard of hearing?" The Pavilion Master frowned.
"Mason Raymond serves as our Divine Alchemist Pavilion elder!" The Chief Enforcement Elder roared with even greater anger.
Mr. Adams’s face grew cold, and he stared icily at the Pavilion Master, saying, "If you step into this matter, you’ll make an enemy of the Sean Family!"
"Slap!"
The moment Mr. Adams finished speaking, a sharp slap struck his face!
The speed was so incredible that even Mr. Adams couldn’t dodge it!
"Are you making threats against me?" The Pavilion Master’s eyes narrowed as she spoke quietly.
At her words, intense killing intent burst from the eight Law Enforcement Elders.
Mr. Adams’s face grew grim!
Particularly after that slap, he, a Peak Grandmaster, hadn’t sensed it coming at all!
"Could she be... a Marquis?" Mr. Adams grew more terrified the more he considered it!
With this thought, Mr. Adams bowed and said, "Pavilion Master, I overstepped. However... Mr. Sean gave us strict orders to eliminate them."
"If we fail to kill them, we shouldn’t return to face him, and we hope the Pavilion Master won’t make this difficult."
"Damn, seems you truly can’t comprehend plain speech!" One of the Law Enforcement Elders couldn’t resist stepping toward Mr. Adams.
Mr. Adams’s body shook, and terror flashed in his eyes!
If violence erupted today, the three of them might not make it out alive!
Luckily, at this crucial moment, the Pavilion Master raised her hand to halt the Law Enforcement Elder.
"Whether you can return or not doesn’t concern me," the Pavilion Master said indifferently.
"If Logan Sean wants vengeance, or demands satisfaction, he can come find me."
After speaking, the Pavilion Master gestured with her chin toward Mason’s location for the Law Enforcement Elder to retrieve him.
The Law Enforcement Elder immediately obeyed, swiftly approaching Mason.
"Pavilion Master, you mustn’t take Mason!" Mr. Adams said desperately.
However, his response came in the form of several punches from the Law Enforcement Elder!
