Chapter 720: Chapter 720 A Weaponized Weakness
My expression shifted as Ms. Zackary launched her sudden strike, giving me zero time to evade!
With no other option, I quickly triggered the Saintly Body Skill, attempting to endure the blow head-on!
Ms. Zackary’s shriveled palm struck my forehead.
But to my shock, the palm carried barely any strength, almost feeling like nothing at all.
Ms. Zackary pulled back her hand with a taunting grin. "Relax, I won’t kill you just yet."
I pressed my forehead and replied icily, "What did you do to me?"
Ms. Zackary smirked. "Don’t panic, I simply planted a mark in your forehead to stop you from running away...hehe..."
My face darkened slightly.
This old witch had actually marked me?
That meant she could track my location constantly?
"Old witch..." I couldn’t help but ball my hands into fists.
Hearing my insult, Ms. Zackary narrowed her eyes. "I might not be able to end you right now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make you hurt."
As she spoke, the energy around Ms. Zackary grew more intense.
I didn’t hesitate, releasing my own powerful aura, preparing to strike back.
Ms. Zackary’s expression turned icy, her massive energy building for a moment, but finally, it slowly faded away.
She scoffed. "Don’t worry, I’ll give you a few more days to live."
With that, Ms. Zackary spun to walk away.
After roughly two steps, Ms. Zackary suddenly halted.
She turned back with a cunning smile. "I heard everything you’ve been doing was for your girlfriend, Mabel Sean?"
At Mabel’s mention, my body instantly stiffened.
I took a slow breath. "You’d better not say her name..."
Ms. Zackary broke into laughter. "Don’t worry, Mabel Sean won’t die, but she’ll endure endless suffering."
"Old hag, I think you’re asking for death!" I immediately gritted my teeth, and my killing intent exploded.
"Hahaha!" Ms. Zackary laughed loudly once more.
"It appears Mabel Sean is truly your weakness, and I might have discovered a better method to torment you." Ms. Zackary spoke menacingly.
I suddenly sensed something was wrong. I lunged forward and seized Ms. Zackary.
"What are you planning to do?!" I demanded coldly.
Ms. Zackary stayed quiet. She shifted her body, and her terrifying energy pushed me backward!
The Peak Form of Military Marquis Realm’s power was truly overwhelmingly frightening!
"I don’t have to explain my plans to you," Ms. Zackary sneered.
"But I can tell you ahead of time that your girlfriend is in agony right now."
My face looked absolutely hideous, and I was nearly at my breaking point.
Seeing my reaction, Ms. Zackary seemed to relish it.
My expression was ice-cold, and my body shook slightly.
"Heaven Swallowing Python... appears to fear Divine Dragon Power, doesn’t it?" At this moment, I spoke abruptly.
Hearing these words, Ms. Zackary’s face grew cold.
She squinted. "So what?"
I chuckled darkly. "Nothing special, just watch out for that beast you’ve raised. I really admire his thick hide."
"If you used his skin to craft clothing, it would be unbreakable."
Ms. Zackary’s face immediately became extremely ugly!
She said coldly, "Just you? Leticia could destroy you with a simple gesture!"
I grinned. "It looks like you really treasure that beast... Well, you better watch out. If I get the opportunity, I’ll definitely butcher him!"
"You little punk, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?" Ms. Zackary squinted her eyes.
"I have to confess, you’re correct. Leticia is indeed my weakness."
"But sadly, his power is far beyond yours. It’s no overstatement to say that Leticia is currently the most powerful person in Capital City Martial Arts Association! Even I can’t match him!"
"So, your threats can’t wound me." A trace of arrogance crossed Ms. Zackary’s face.
I nodded. "Fine, let’s see what happens."
After saying that, I turned and walked away.
——
Ms. Zackary watched Mason Raymond’s retreating figure, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Mason’s expression also looked terrible.
Ms. Zackary’s words definitely made Mason more worried.
He had to do everything possible to locate the mystic realm where Mabel Sean was trapped as quickly as possible.
However, even Phoebe Billy didn’t know Mabel’s prison location, much less have entry to the mystic realm.
For a while, Mason felt like a lost soul, uncertain about his next move.
——
The following morning.
Ms. Zackary assembled everyone in the courtyard.
She scanned them and spoke casually, "Besides guiding you into the mystic realm, the Martial Arts Academy will also provide certain blood inheritance to exceptional people."
Hearing ’blood inheritance,’ my eyes sharpened, and I immediately focused on Ms. Zackary!
At that instant, Ms. Zackary’s gaze was also fixed on me.
With a vicious smile, she went on, "This bloodline can raise a person’s potential. Once someone gains this bloodline, their power will surge."
Alberto Sean said with a mild smile, "I’ve obtained the blood inheritance, and I’ve mastered 80% of it."
Ms. Zackary nodded approvingly. "Young Master Alberto Sean is truly the best at adapting to the bloodline."
The crowd instantly burst into chatter.
They had all heard stories about this bloodline.
"It’s rumored that the Capital City Martial Arts Association had produced many elite cultivators with this bloodline!"
"Those who get this bloodline will truly see explosive strength increases! They say it can even alter a person’s natural ability!"
"What exactly is this bloodline? They say just a drop of it can transform someone!"
"I recall that the elite cultivators who received this bloodline were...all eliminated by Mason Raymond, right? Young Master Alberto Sean appears to be the sole survivor..."
"Hmm, it seems Mason Raymond is quite the troublemaker."
All attention turned to me.
Right now, my face was dark, and my eyes blazed with fury.
I clenched my fists, holding back the rage inside me.
Then, Ms. Zackary continued with a smile, "The next one to get the blood inheritance will be Leticia. We will take him to the mystic realm for the bloodline ritual."
I quickly lifted my head to stare at Ms. Zackary.
She mentioned taking Leticia to the mystic realm? Did that mean Ms. Zackary knew the location of the mystic realm where Mabel Sean was held and could come and go as she pleased?
At that moment, Ms. Zackary gestured, and a vision appeared before everyone.
This vision seemed created by Inner Strength, like a film projected on a giant screen.
The vision’s content showed blood extraction!
In the scene, though Mabel Sean’s face was hidden, I could identify her instantly!
Her body was shaking slightly, and blood flowed continuously through tubes.
The volume of blood being drawn had multiplied several times compared to before!
