Chapter 558: Chapter 558 A Breakthrough At Deaths Door
Sensing the powerful aura radiating from Atkinson Samson, I couldn’t help but frown a little.
"Mr. Raymond, did you... did you make it?" Ximena Santos asked nervously.
I shook my head, feeling somewhat disappointed. "No, I came up just short."
Atkinson Samson squinted his eyes, seeming to guess what happened.
"Looks like you won’t get the chance to reach the Martial Marquis realm," Atkinson Samson smirked.
I stared coldly at Atkinson Samson and said, "Atkinson Samson, the moment I break through to Martial Marquis, I’ll tear down the Great Saint Sect myself."
"Hahaha, too bad you’ll never get that opportunity!" Atkinson Samson exploded with a shout, unleashing a terrifying aura that surged forward.
Streams of energy, sharp as blades, carved white lines across my tough skin.
The next instant, Atkinson Samson turned his palm into a claw, lunging straight for my face.
I didn’t dare hesitate; I unleashed the Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist in response!
Golden light blazed through the air, slamming into Atkinson Samson’s fingers with tremendous force!
"Clang!"
A sharp sound like a bomb going off rang out as the pressure from Atkinson Samson’s realm forced me back several steps.
"Fighting a Martial Marquis really leaves little room for victory," I frowned.
Atkinson Samson said coldly, "You’re just putting up a pointless fight! You escaped before only because the Sean Family wanted to keep your worthless life!"
"Now that your battle with Vance Johansson is over, I have no more restraints."
His killing intent exploded at that moment!
Feeling the murderous aura from Atkinson Samson, my expression changed too!
"Die!" Atkinson Samson roared furiously, his palm crashing toward me with crushing force!
With no more restrictions, every attack from Atkinson Samson was meant to end my life!
He didn’t want to give me any more opportunities, only wanting to kill me as fast as possible to prevent complications.
"Bang!"
This palm strike, formed from pure Inner Strength, reached incredible speed!
I didn’t even have time to react before the blow landed squarely on my chest!
"Whoosh!"
Under this palm strike, my body flew sideways, my chest caving in!
The power of a Martial Marquis’s full-strength attack was beyond imagination, and even my flesh couldn’t handle it!
Blood poured from my mouth, and several ribs snapped in the process.
"Mr. Raymond!" Ximena Santos couldn’t help but cry out.
I wiped the blood from my mouth and slowly got back on my feet.
"Huh? He’s still alive?" This caught Atkinson Samson off guard.
Everyone knew that a Martial Marquis could easily kill a half-step Martial Marquis, especially with a killing move like that!
"Your body is truly more impressive than I expected," Atkinson Samson said, eyes narrowing.
"Mason Raymond, if you’re willing to serve under me, I might spare your life, but I suppose someone like you would never bow to me," Atkinson Samson said coldly.
"So... you’d better die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Atkinson Samson vanished!
Almost instantly, he appeared right in front of me!
My pupils contracted, sensing danger.
I quickly used the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique, but it was too late!
"Die!" Atkinson Samson curved his fingers, viciously clawing toward my heart!
This claw contained all of Atkinson Samson’s Inner Strength, enough to crush a small mountain instantly!
"Clang!"
A sharp sound echoed, and Atkinson Samson suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingers!
Looking down, he saw a miniature mountain glowing and flickering on my chest.
"That was too close..." I quickly backed away, gripping the Venerable Fifth Mountain in my hand, and let out a sigh of relief.
If Atkinson Samson had caught me, my flesh might have been torn right through!
"This Venerable Fifth Mountain really is indestructible..." I thought to myself.
Meanwhile, Atkinson Samson’s fingers shook slightly from the impact, the pain unbearable.
"You little bastard..." Atkinson Samson’s face turned ice-cold.
His cold eyes burned with fury!
"Let me see what other tricks you’ve got!" Atkinson Samson stepped forward, his massive hands carrying rolling inner strength, crushing down with overwhelming force!
I didn’t dare slow down and quickly threw out two rapid punches.
"Boom!"
But the gap between a half-step Martial Marquis and a Martial Marquis was just too vast. Even though I had Divine Dragon Power, under this massive realm difference, I was still slammed to the ground!
A huge palm print was smashed directly into the earth, my body cracking in multiple places, blood streaming out.
"Little bastard, still not dead?" Atkinson Samson’s face grew colder, and he raised one hand slightly. His fingers immediately blazed with light!
A stream of blood-red light gathered on Atkinson Samson’s fingers.
The next second, Atkinson Samson thrust his palm forward, and ten rays of light instantly shot toward me!
My face changed, I gritted my teeth, wanting to dodge, but the light moved too fast, and I couldn’t avoid it!
"Puh, puh, puh!"
These ten blood-red rays of light were like sharp blades, piercing through my various pressure points!
In just a moment, I felt like my spiritual power was locked away, impossible to summon!
"Little bastard, let me see who can save you today." Atkinson Samson looked coldly at me, walking toward me step by step.
I clenched my teeth, desperately trying to mobilize the spiritual energy in my body, attempting to break through these restraints.
Unfortunately, my spiritual power was blocked, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t break free!
Seeing Atkinson Samson getting closer, my expression grew even grimmer.
"It’s useless, I’ve sealed all your spiritual power pressure points. Even with great abilities, you can’t escape!" Atkinson Samson’s cold voice rang out.
Then, Atkinson Samson’s entire body blazed with bright light, his palm gathering wave after wave of terrifying killing intent!
"Little bastard, you killed hundreds from my Great Saint Sect, and because of you, Mr. Sean has grown dissatisfied with me! You’re a damned little bastard!" Atkinson Samson said through gritted teeth.
I looked up at Atkinson Samson with a grin and said, "Old bastard, you brought this on yourself..."
"Looking for death!" Atkinson Samson flew into a rage, his massive palm immediately slamming down on me!
"Urgh!"
With this slap, I felt like my organs were about to be crushed, and blood spurted from my mouth!
"Let me see how long you can keep up this attitude!" Atkinson Samson roared in fury.
His palm carried tremendous crushing force, striking down fiercely on my body!
One hit, two hits, three hits...
Blood marks appeared across my body, and bones broke in several places!
But Atkinson Samson showed no signs of stopping, his palm constantly pounding my body without mercy.
In just moments, my body was nearly shattered.
My consciousness started to blur, and exhaustion washed over me.
"Mr. Raymond..." Ximena Santos couldn’t help but sob seeing this scene.
With my mouth slightly open, everything in my vision began to blur.
"Damn it...the Marquis realm...really can’t be crossed..." I murmured to myself.
"I can’t even use secret techniques...is today really the day I die..."
"Mabel, I...I’ve failed you..."
As Atkinson Samson’s strikes continued, my consciousness grew more and more hazy, and I couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.
Countless scenes flashed through my mind, past memories playing like a movie in my head.
At this moment, I thought of many things, these random thoughts feeling like memories at death’s door.
"Hmm...seems like I’ve remembered something..." At this moment of near-death, a wild idea suddenly burst into my mind!
"I get it, I know how to step into the Martial Marquis realm...!"
My previously dim eyes filled with determination once again!
"I understand now!" I shouted excitedly in my heart!
