Chapter 681: Chapter 681 Power Born From Grief
I only felt weakness spreading through my limbs as I collapsed to the ground.
"Mason!" Watson Thompson rushed over frantically when she saw me fall.
My brow creased as I tried to gather the energy inside my body, only to discover all my acupoints had been sealed, leaving me completely paralyzed.
"This is our Ice Palace’s Ice Spirit Needle, which seals a person’s acupoints." The black-robed man spoke with cold indifference.
"Once the Ice Spirit Needle strikes you, your energy will drain away until you die."
I stayed quiet, lying on the ground while my face rapidly flushed red.
But I wasn’t afraid. I frantically pushed my energy, attempting to shatter through the acupoints the Ice Spirit Needle had blocked!
"What do we do with Mason Raymond?" One black-robed figure questioned.
"End him. We can’t let him live," another replied icily.
The three men immediately stepped forward!
They raised a brilliant light, striking down at me with brutal force!
"Boom!"
The floor beneath us crumbled instantly, and Watson Thompson, who stood beside me, got caught in the blast wave, thrown backward!
This was a Marquis-level attack, something no Peak Grandmaster could survive!
Under this strike, Watson’s body tore open, and her energy faded away!
"Watson!" My expression changed dramatically when I saw this!
I clenched my teeth, frantically pushed my energy, and kept hammering at my sealed acupoints!
"He’s still breathing." The three men’s brows tightened slightly seeing that I remained uninjured.
"They say his body is incredibly tough. Killing him won’t be simple."
"Let’s just grab what we came for. We shouldn’t linger here."
With that, a black-robed man moved forward.
He seized Watson’s throat, hoisting her into the air.
"Speak up, where’s the mask?" The black-robed man demanded coldly.
Watson gritted her teeth, forcing out each word, "I... I won’t hand it over!"
"Stubbornness will bring you pain," the black-robed man said coldly.
He gradually tightened his grip, and Watson’s face instantly turned crimson!
She fought desperately, but her power meant nothing against a Marquis!
Right then, Jasper Thompson suddenly snatched a kitchen knife, slashing it down hard on the black-robed man’s skull!
"Bang!" The kitchen knife broke apart on impact!
"You... release my daughter!" Jasper roared furiously!
"Uncle, get out of here!" I shouted when I saw this!
Jasper was just a regular person. There was no chance he could hurt a Marquis!
But one casual hit from a Marquis could easily end Jasper’s life!
The black-robed man slowly pivoted around.
Looking at Jasper with cold eyes, he said, "Foolish idiot!"
Then, the black-robed man lashed out with his hand, hurling Jasper across the room!
Even though it was just a careless swipe, it was enough to shatter Jasper’s bones and drench his body in blood!
Jasper crashed to the floor, blood covering him, his face beyond recognition.
"You... release my daughter..." Jasper managed to whisper these words before losing consciousness.
His life was slipping away fast, and death’s shadow even appeared on his features!
My face went white witnessing this!
"No, I need to move faster, or Uncle will definitely die!" I said frantically!
"Hmph, like an ant trying to topple a giant tree, you really don’t understand your position," the black-robed man stated coldly.
He lifted his hand, and light started gathering in his palm.
This light aimed at Jasper, and terrifying power built up quickly!
"Stop!" I screamed seeing this!
I gritted my teeth and frantically tried to break through my body’s sealed acupoints!
But I was moving too slowly and time was running out!
"Buzz!"
Light burst from the black-robed man’s hand, shooting straight toward Jasper!
"Boom!"
The ground in that spot caved in immediately!
Jasper’s body was almost destroyed!
"Dad!!!"
Seeing this scene, Watson’s eyes went wide!
She stared blankly toward Jasper, tears pouring down her cheeks like heavy drops!
Jasper fought to open his eyes, trying to speak, but his wounds were so bad he couldn’t even find the strength to move his lips.
Jasper lifted his hand, but it slowly dropped, and his life suddenly ended at that moment.
"Dad!!!"
Watson’s agonized cry pierced the quiet night!
Her face slowly contorted with grief!
"I’ll destroy you! I’ll destroy all of you!!!" Watson shrieked, and the entire house started shaking!
"Huh?" The black-robed men lifted their eyebrows.
"Rumble..."
The ground trembled, as if something was ready to explode out!
"Whoosh!"
At that instant, the room suddenly burst with a thunderous sound, then the whole house collapsed!
A dark, shimmering mask shot out from the wreckage!
"The mask! That’s the mask!" The three black-robed men were thrilled to see it.
They tossed Watson aside and immediately rushed toward the mask!
But the mask flew straight to Watson instead, pressing tightly against her face!
"What... what’s happening?" The three black-robed men’s expressions changed instantly!
Watson’s body slowly lifted into the air, surrounded by an incredibly sinister aura that quickly engulfed her!
Her form hovered in midair, every movement carrying bone-chilling killing intent!
Right now, Watson’s face was hidden by the mask, showing only a pair of cold, frozen eyes.
Her eyes held nothing but scorn, looking down on others like they were insects.
The intense murderous aura from her body made everyone shake!
Seeing this, my eyes went wide!
This figure looked just like the masked woman I had encountered in the Immortal Slaying Sect!
"Watson and the masked woman... they really are linked!" I gasped!
Could Watson be the masked woman’s reincarnation? The similarity was incredible!
Watson stared coldly at the three black-robed men, her icy killing intent making everyone nervous.
Those black-robed men looked at Watson before them, their brows furrowed tight.
For some reason, an unexplainable fear grew in their hearts!
Even though no energy radiated from Watson, she still made them feel anxious.
"What’s happening here? How did the mask attach to her face?" One of the black-robed men spoke in a grave voice.
"Stop with the tricks! Whatever the reason, we have to kill them first!" The black-robed men gritted their teeth, then charged toward Watson again!
