Chapter 501: Chapter 501 An Ant Before a Marquis
The murderous intent radiating from Atkinson Samson made my face turn ashen!
This was a genuine Martial Marquis! The strongest enemy I’d faced yet!
They say crossing into Martial Marquis territory marks a turning point—once you reach that level, you enter an entirely different realm.
Beating a Martial Marquis while stuck at half-step Martial Marquis? Impossible!
Hell, I hadn’t even reached true half-step Martial Marquis yet!
"I’ll destroy your dantian, then let Mr. Johansson finish you off personally!" Atkinson Samson said with ice in his voice.
My expression grew darker.
Only one thought filled my mind: "Run!"
I activated Shrinking Ground Into An Inch immediately, bolting toward the exit.
But when I reached the window, some invisible force slammed me backward!
"Think you can run?" Atkinson Samson radiated killing intent, his sneer cutting through the air.
"Damn, screwed up!" My face twisted with frustration!
I couldn’t break free from whatever formation Atkinson Samson had set up!
"Shit!" I cursed internally, then grabbed my Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist and hammered it against the barrier.
But this was a Martial Marquis’s handiwork. No matter how hard I hit, the thing wouldn’t budge!
"You’re trapped," Atkinson Samson sneered.
Dread crept up my spine.
I sucked in a breath and glared at him. "Atkinson Samson, if you don’t kill me today, I swear I’ll destroy your Great Saint Sect!"
"Hahahaha!" Atkinson Samson burst out laughing.
"You? Think you’ll even make it out of here alive?" Atkinson Samson said coldly.
As he spoke, Atkinson Samson lifted his hand!
A ghostly palm materialized in the air, swooping down toward me!
I didn’t hesitate—activated my Saintly Body Skill and threw up my guard!
"Boom!"
The Martial Marquis’s power was overwhelming, sending me flying!
The golden light around me shattered, and my body took a brutal hit!
"Serves you right!" Elder Adrianne cackled at the sight.
"You want my life? You’re not good enough!"
I stayed quiet. Struggled to my feet, unease growing in my chest.
Atkinson Samson was stronger than I’d imagined—I was basically helpless against him!
"If I could reach true half-step Martial Marquis, maybe I’d have a shot..." I thought.
I gritted my teeth, golden light exploding from my body as my energy peaked!
The Divine Dragon Power’s glow blazed between my eyebrows too!
Facing Atkinson Samson, I couldn’t hold anything back. Time to play every card I had!
"Still want to fight back?" Atkinson Samson kept sneering.
I shot back coldly, "Cut the crap. They say Martial Marquis is some big milestone—today I want to see exactly how tough you really are."
"Oh really?" Atkinson Samson’s mouth twisted into a cruel smile.
"Fine, I’ll show you!"
Atkinson Samson casually raised his hand and gave it a light push forward!
I couldn’t mess around. Roared with fury, my energy exploding as my Saintly Body Skill jumped straight to the Fifth Layer!
Brilliant golden light flooded the entire room!
"Ahh!!!"
I went all out, charging head-first into Atkinson Samson’s palm strike!
"Boom!"
The collision was massive, terrifying energy rippling outward!
Even Elder Adrianne felt crushing pressure, struggling just to breathe!
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Atkinson Samson’s palm snuffed out all the light around my fist, and I stumbled backward several steps!
"Puff!"
The impact crushed my internal organs.
My throat turned sweet, and I coughed up blood!
"So this is a Martial Marquis..." My face looked like hell.
Atkinson Samson stood there, completely calm.
"Everyone below Martial Marquis is just an ant. You took one of my strikes without dying—that’s actually impressive," Atkinson Samson said flatly.
I had zero interest in his bullshit. My brain was racing, trying to figure out how to escape.
I scanned around, looking for any weak spot.
"Pointless," Atkinson Samson seemed to read my mind.
He put his hands behind his back and said casually, "Want to do this yourself, or should I cripple you personally?"
"Go to hell!"
I cursed and charged forward with my fist ready!
"Death wish," Atkinson Samson spat out those two words coldly, and with one light slap, sent me flying again!
That palm shattered every bone in my body, and I collapsed in agony!
"Sect Master, let me cripple him!" Elder Adrianne jumped at the chance.
Atkinson Samson glanced at him and nodded. "Make it quick."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Elder Adrianne replied eagerly.
He jogged over to where I lay.
"Mason Raymond, you bottom-feeding scum, think you can become something special just by sucking up?" Elder Adrianne sneered.
"I’m going to destroy your dantian right now and kill you, you worthless piece of trash!"
Elder Adrianne curved his palm into claws and lunged viciously toward my dantian!
