Chapter 699: Chapter 699 Calling The Mighty Bluff
The crossbow looked absolutely incredible.
The brilliant flash that had just struck Sybil Cooper’s forehead appeared to have originated from this weapon.
"That looks like some kind of magical artifact," I squinted and murmured.
"Whatever it is, with Orr Austen and Desmond Fabiola here, he can’t touch me," I said coldly.
"Things are getting pretty exciting."
Right then, another person entered the scene.
I turned my head and spotted a man dressed in a black mink coat.
The guy was massive, sporting a mustache, and radiated raw power.
"Bryce Johansson? The Johansson family’s heir showed up in person!" someone shouted!
When I heard that name, my brows knitted together.
Bryce Johansson? Klein Johansson’s brother? He’s gotten mixed up in this too?
Two Peak Form Military Marquis fighters - this was pretty much the toughest opposition I’d ever gone up against.
I drew in a long breath.
At this point, it wasn’t just about one person anymore.
Because of my sudden arrival, everyone in the Taoism Theory Library had been dragged into this mess.
Bert Mercer was even planning to murder everyone just to keep this information from getting out!
I looked around and noticed that Bert Mercer had already locked down the area using some secret method.
Some folks at the scene attempted to run but got blocked by an invisible wall.
Bert Mercer smirked, "Save your energy. This area is completely sealed - nobody’s getting out."
"Until I finish killing all of you, even I can’t leave." Bert Mercer casually handled his crossbow and spoke without emotion.
When they heard this, everyone at the scene started freaking out!
They all turned to me for help, and suddenly I became their only hope for survival.
I frowned slightly, then without another word, I immediately made Orr Austen ball up his fist and strike!
The massive fist crashed into the barrier right away!
At that instant, incredible force exploded outward!
With that single punch, the barrier immediately cracked all over and then completely broke apart!
The shattering noise went on and on, and the space barrier vanished in a flash!
"Move it, get out of here!" I looked across the crowd and spoke harshly.
Obviously, these people weren’t going to waste this chance and ran like hell toward the exit.
When Bert Mercer saw this, his eyebrows couldn’t help but scrunch up.
"That’s some serious strength," Bert Mercer’s expression grew more serious.
Then he gripped the crossbow tighter and aimed it at Orr Austen!
Instantly, a beam of light blazed from the crossbow!
This light beam was pure Inner Strength essence, incredibly dangerous, capable of tearing through flesh instantly and even wiping out someone’s consciousness!
Orr Austen stayed cool as a cucumber. He just lifted his hand casually and grabbed the light beam.
Then he squeezed gently and completely crushed the light beam!
"That’s impossible!" Bert Mercer’s expression went white!
Bryce Johansson nearby scoffed, "Looks like your boss didn’t mention that these are two ancient bodies from way back, with incredible power when they died."
Bert Mercer’s brow furrowed as he muttered, "Bodies? Are we talking about Martial Saint corpses?"
Bryce Johansson stretched leisurely and replied, "Pretty much."
After the Military Marquis Realm, the power gap between levels got bigger and bigger and became impossible to overcome!
In all of history, nobody in the Military Marquis Realm had ever beaten a Martial Saint, and no Military Marquis had ever been brave enough to try!
"If these were Martial Saint bodies, that would definitely be a problem." Bert Mercer’s brow wrinkled slightly.
Up ahead, I kept quiet, my eyes narrowing a bit.
I stared at the two guys in front of me, my hands balling into fists without thinking.
"Orr and Desmond are running out of time. I need to take these two out before it’s too late," I stated coldly.
With that thought, I didn’t waste another second.
I used my mental power to make Orr and Desmond move toward Bert Mercer!
But right at that moment, something crazy happened!
I suddenly felt my link with the two bodies getting weaker, like it might break any second!
"Shit!" I swore silently! Time was up!
The connection got even weaker, and I could barely feel it anymore.
I gritted my teeth and used every ounce of strength I had to keep my link with Orr going.
Because of my struggle, Orr and Desmond didn’t drop immediately.
"Phew." I let out a relieved breath.
With Orr and Desmond in their current condition, counting on them for a fight was probably hopeless. I’d have to try something else.
I glanced at Bert Mercer and Bryce Johansson, saying coldly, "You got it right - they are bodies."
"But here’s the difference: they’re not Martial Saints, they’re powerhouses from the Mighty Realm. Some might even be stronger than the Mighty Realm!"
Bert Mercer looked shocked, fear flickering in his eyes.
"Mighty Realm bodies? How’s that possible? The Mighty Realm disappeared ages ago!" Bert shot back coldly.
I sneered, "How clueless! If you don’t buy it, go ahead and attack them!"
Bert Mercer’s brow creased deeply, his expression seeming torn.
Even though Bert didn’t think they were Mighty Realm bodies, he didn’t dare make a move!
If they really were Mighty Realm Bodies, he wouldn’t stand a chance against them!
"I don’t buy it! Even if it were a Mighty Realm Body, the person controlling it is just a Military Marquis!" Bert snarled, raising his crossbow.
Blinding light flared on the crossbow, and scorching heat burst out instantly!
The next moment, light bullets fired at Orr!
Endless light beams shot out like bullets, slicing through the air!
In a split second, cracking sounds filled the air, but Orr didn’t even flinch!
That devastating light, which could destroy a Martial Saint, didn’t leave a single mark on Orr!
Bert Mercer’s face went pale! Without thinking, he stumbled backward two steps, cold sweat pouring down his face!
"Such a resilient body - not even a Martial Saint could scratch it!" Bert cried out in terror.
"These two bodies... they might actually be from the Mighty Realm!"
Bert was losing it, even thinking about running away.
When I saw this, I breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as I could fool this idiot, we could figure out how to get out of here.
"What’s there to worry about, even if it’s a Mighty Realm Body?"
Just then, Bryce Johansson chuckled.
Bert raised his eyebrows and said, "Bryce Johansson, you should understand better than me what a Mighty Realm Body means!"
Bryce snorted, "No wonder businesspeople can’t stand you martial artists - your brains don’t work too well."
"So what if it’s a Mighty Realm Body? Obviously, Mason has lost control of it. Why else would he be standing here chatting with us? It would be way easier to control the body and smack us dead on the spot!"
