Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Master
In the central courtyard.
Atop the platform.
Nelson was bound to the stake, with firewood arranged below.
The firewood was already drenched in gasoline.
The Medicine King held a torch, looked up, and gazed at the stubborn woman on the stake.
He felt unexpectedly elated.
In the dungeon, he had been insulted by Nelson.
He had thought that roasting her over a fierce fire might make her swallow her pride and drink the bowl of water.
But he was disappointed. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
And even furious!
Now, he was about to light the torch.
Imagining Nelson being burned alive in the flames, possibly letting out heart-wrenching screams,
The Medicine King felt an immense sense of satisfaction!
This twisted mentality made him lick his lips and slowly raise the torch.
"Burn her!"
From below, a cry arose from a thousand voices.
Even though she was merely a woman.
Just because she was associated with Mad Dragon, she was hated to the bone by these people!
Everyone wished to eliminate her!
"Do you have any last words?"
The Medicine King took a step forward, sneering coldly, "Or perhaps, do you regret being with Mad Dragon? If you say you hate Mad Dragon, I might consider..."
He paused halfway through his words.
Consider what?
Consider using an even bigger fire!
He wanted to humiliate Nelson!
To humiliate the stubborn woman before him.
As the leader of Medicine King Valley, the Medicine King was highly flattered, and few dared to speak to him like that.
But Nelson did not utter a word.
She simply glared, her eyes fixated on the Medicine King.
That look made the Medicine King feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Mad Dragon is unkind; he slaughtered my tens of thousands of brothers! Today, I shall burn his woman within Medicine King Valley, to carry out justice on behalf of heaven!"
After he finished speaking, amidst the thunderous cries, he slowly pushed the torch forward.
"Medicine King you old thief! Dare to harm a person from Azure Mountain!"
Whoosh!
Just then!
A dazzling sword light erupted, heading straight for the Medicine King!
"Master, be careful!"
The disciple closest to the Medicine King lunged forward!
Puff!
The next moment.
The sword light pierced through the body.
That disciple splattered a mist of blood and fell to the ground.
Dead on the spot!
And the torch in the Medicine King’s hand also fell.
"Who is it!"
He bellowed furiously: "How dare you run wild in Medicine King Valley!"
"It’s the Southern Sea Divine Nun!"
Woosh!
A woman in a green dress landed on the platform.
With a single sword stroke, she cut the ropes.
Nelson, freed from her bindings, fell into the arms of the woman, her eyes shimmering with tears.
"Master..."
She called out weakly.
The drugs, combined with the high temperature, had left Nelson extremely weak.
"Girl, with your master here, no one can touch you!"
The Southern Sea Divine Nun held her sword upside down, her eyes filled with fury!
"Medicine King, you dare to offend Azure Mountain! Do you not fear that in a moment of anger, I might send three thousand disciples to flatten your Medicine King Valley!"
She lifted her sword, pointing it at the Medicine King: "Your life is forfeit!"
Azure Mountain; a faction that even dared to go to war with the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance in the past!
Let alone a mere Medicine King Valley!
As soon as she finished speaking, the Southern Sea Divine Nun launched an attack with her sword!
The Medicine King dodged in panic, but still, he could not escape and had his clothes slashed.
Swoosh!
After that, the Southern Sea Divine Nun kicked out, sending the Medicine King tumbling down from the platform in a sorry state.
This scene left the onlookers agape and at a loss.
Who was this woman?
"How dare you!"
The Medicine King looked at his torn robe, his face ashen with fury: "Today, all the heroes of the world are here, are you intent on making enemies with everyone?"
He was incredibly shocked!
Nelson was from Azure Mountain?
Azur Mountain was warlike and well-known!
But the Medicine King Valley was no pushover either!
Especially not now!
Countless people below were watching!
Moreover, they had Locke Yarrow and Jonty Ridge to preside over the situation!
Though the Azure Mountain Nun was formidable, she couldn’t possibly prevail against two of the top ten Grandmasters in the Heavenly Ranking!
Defeat was certain!
And what of Azure Mountain?
Whoever dared to get involved with Mad Dragon had to die!
The Divine Dragon Tripod, Medicine King Valley must have it!
"The world?"
The Azure Mountain Nun snorted lightly, looking at the nearly thousand people below, disdainfully said, "Just a mob! Back then, the Seven Clouds Academy could trample them underfoot; do you think a few years would allow them to turn the tables?"
"Old woman! That’s a big talk!"
Swish!
Below, someone slammed the table and got up!
"You don’t take us seriously, do you really think Deep Cold is vegetarian?"
Deep Cold’s director swiftly raised the mouth of the hidden weapon box!
Rustle!
Pulled the latch of the hidden weapon box!
Motion suave, the methodology refined!
Swish!
Darts, violently shot out!
Whoosh!
The Azure Mountain Nun put Nelson down on the ground and suddenly sprang forward!
Clang!
Longsword struck down the darts, sparking a flash of light!
"This..."
The director faltered slightly and again pulled the latch of the hidden weapon box!
Within Deep Cold, he was nicknamed ’Thousands of miles penetrate tree’!
His method with the hidden weapon box ranked within the top three of the organization!
Moreover, the hidden weapon box in his hand had been specially modified, its power and precision were astounding!
Swish!
The Azure Mountain Nun struck with another sword!
The darts were again shattered!
Swish!
Clang!
The darts, upon striking the blade, instantly had their trajectory altered.
Rustle!
Cold sweat broke out on the director’s forehead.
He had just pulled the latch, but hadn’t yet triggered the mechanism!
Pu-chi!
The Azure Mountain Nun had already reached him and struck down with her sword!
Blood splattered.
The hidden weapon box clattered to the ground.
In the previously noisy courtyard, there was now dead silence.
drip-drop!
Blood dripped down from the Longsword in the Azure Mountain Nun’s hand.
"Who else!"
She turned, looking at the several thousand people on the scene, "I want to kill the Medicine King; if anyone of you wants to stop me, step forward!"
"Azure Mountain Nun!"
A sonorous voice, like a tolling bell, rang out.
"You dare to be presumptuous in my Medicine King Valley!"
As he spoke, Lazaro Ellsworth and Atticus Ellsworth came soaring through the air!
Below, several thousand people drew their weapons in unison.
In the martial world, they were all renowned powerhouses.
At this moment, they would not tolerate humiliation!
"Then bring it on!"
The Azure Mountain Nun didn’t hesitate for a moment and charged forward with her sword!
"Brother Apprentice, slay that woman!"
Lazaro Ellsworth flung his sleeves, pointing at Nelson, "What about Azure Mountain? Daring to offend Medicine King Valley, doomed without a doubt!"
The old nun was not easy to provoke, so he played a trick.
Quick battle, quick decision!
As he spoke, Atticus Ellsworth leaped forth, arriving directly in front of Nelson.
"Nun, I’ll send your apprentice off first!"
He violently raised his right hand, poised to bring it crashing down!
"Stop!"
The Azure Mountain Nun, who was originally charging at Lazaro Ellsworth, ran like mad towards Atticus Ellsworth!
Seizing this gap, Lazaro Ellsworth took a step forward and struck out with his palm!
The fierce palm wind carried a momentum that could sweep everything away!
The Azure Mountain Nun clenched her teeth and abruptly thrust her Longsword forward!
Swish!
The sword’s edge forced Atticus Ellsworth to step back, but Lazaro Ellsworth’s palm heavily struck the Azure Mountain Nun’s back!
Spurt!
Blood gushed out.
The Azure Mountain Nun knelt on one knee, supporting her body with the Longsword, giving a cold look towards the two Supreme Elders from Medicine King Valley before her.
"Indeed... quite despicable!"
If it had been a head-on fight, the two would not have defeated her so easily.
But with Atticus Ellsworth attacking a nearly breathless Nelson, the Azure Mountain Nun had no other choice!
"This matter was none of Azure Mountain’s business! But, you had to interfere!" Lazaro Ellsworth stood before her, coldly said, "I could spare you, but this woman behind you must stay!"
