Chapter 1113: Chapter 113: Mysterious Dragon King Ring
"Kill!"
"Kill everyone!"
"Show no mercy! Go and kill those people!"
Voices echoed in Julius Reed’s head.
"Don’t suppress yourself!"
"Only violence can suppress violence—it’s the best way!"
"Power grants a voice!"
The voices kept emerging.
Thump!
At last.
Julius Reed collapsed onto the ground.
His eyes tightly closed.
Beside him, Nelson watched in horror.
Two hands gently touched Julius Reed’s face.
Drip... Drip... Drip...
At that moment, footsteps approached from afar, gradually becoming louder.
"Who’s there!"
Nelson tensely grabbed his longsword, his face pale as he looked toward the woods.
A woman in white slowly walked out.
"He’s fainted."
It was Elwood Thorneycroft!
After Medicine King Valley was destroyed, she had fled immediately.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Julius Reed here.
"Stay back!"
Nelson clutched the longsword, her eyes filled with wariness.
"No need for that."
Elwood Thorneycroft stopped walking, smiling at Nelson, "Perhaps, you need to know something."
She pointed at Julius Reed, "He came to rescue you because he received a message from me."
"Who are you!"
Nelson was not careless.
Even though she had no ability to fight,
she still wanted to protect Julius Reed.
"I’m Elwood Thorneycroft, Julius Reed’s friend. We met back in Gonzalez City." Elwood walked over and gently moved Nelson’s sword aside, "Please trust me, I won’t harm him."
Having said that, Elwood gently checked Julius Reed’s pulse.
Meanwhile, she slowly removed her mask.
The moment the mask came off, both women were stunned!
Julius Reed’s face was as pale as paper!
Two thin black lines deeply marked his skin,
spreading from his cheeks to his temples.
"How could this have happened!"
Nelson cried out.
"Master!"
She crawled over, gently shaking her mentor.
"Hiss..."
Her mentor grimaced, slowly opening her eyes.
"Where is this?"
She looked around, realizing they were in the woods.
It was impossible to discern any direction.
"Julius Reed saved us! But now... now he’s unconscious..."
Nelson cried out, "Master, do you have the ability to save him?"
"Julius Reed? Ten Thousand..."
When she mentioned "Ten Thousand," her mentor watched Elwood warily, sternly asking, "Who are you!"
"My name is Elwood Thorneycroft, a friend of Julius Reed."
Elwood stood up, pulling several items from her embrace and placing them on the ground.
"This includes a satellite phone, some food, and water. I took these when I left Medicine King Valley."
Having finished, she nodded to Nelson, "Since Julius Reed came to rescue you, I can leave with peace of mind. It’s best if you leave within two hours. Otherwise, people from Thunderpeak Hall might come looking for you."
Elwood took one last look at Julius Reed, glanced at the needle marks on her arm, hesitated, then stuffed a letter into Julius Reed’s pocket.
"Let him read that letter when he wakes up!"
Elwood instructed a few more things, then turned and left. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
"Can we trust her?"
Her mentor watched Elwood’s retreating figure, hesitatingly said, "Normally, I would have eliminated her right away! Well, let’s trust her this once!"
Dragging her weary body, her mentor painfully sat up, looking at Julius Reed.
"How could this have happened!"
She touched one hand on the black line and began to constantly move the other along it.
Finally.
Her gaze locked onto the Dragon King Ring.
"Dragon King Ring?"
After seeing the ring, the nun from the Southern Sea fell into deep thought.
"My disciple, do you have a silver needle?"
"Yes!"
Nelson slowly opened his mouth, inside were three silver needles.
Those were concealed weapons, essential for a master.
"Let’s give it a try!"
The nun from the Southern Sea took the silver needles, unable to suppress a cough.
Lazaro Ellsworth’s strike was too fierce, directly causing her serious injury!
After stabilizing her breath, the nun from the Southern Sea held a silver needle in one hand and suddenly flicked the other!
Whoosh!
The silver needle shot out like a bullet, directly slicing through the black line connecting the Dragon King Ring and his arm!
It then fell to the ground.
Hiss...
The silvery needle, upon hitting the ground, was instantly corroded.
In just a few seconds, it vanished completely!
"What’s going on!"
Nelson blinked, asking in disbelief.
In his view, how could Julius Reed’s blood, immune to hundreds of poisons, possibly corrode a silver needle?
"The legend is likely true!"
The nun from the Southern Sea didn’t answer Nelson’s question but instead did the same thing again!
She shot out the second silver needle!
Similarly.
The silver needle broke through the black line, and after falling to the ground, it gradually corroded away.
But the black line was about to break.
"Huff!"
The nun from the Southern Sea took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Break!"
She shouted loudly!
With her right hand, she made a pointing motion in the air!
Puff!
After flicking the silver needle, she couldn’t help but spit out blood.
The silver needle turned into a streak of brilliance, directly striking the black line.
Finally.
The black line spreading from the Dragon King Ring was completely severed!
And the rest of the black lines gradually disappeared at a pace visible to the naked eye.
The first to disappear was the black line on Julius Reed’s face.
Then the arm.
Lastly, only around the ring remained.
"Ah!"
The nun from the Southern Sea wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and sighed, "I heard that after the battle on the snowy mountain, the saint lord survived but his memory was incomplete. His powers also hadn’t fully recovered! And now, to save you, he actually didn’t hesitate to let the Evil Qi enter his body!"
At this point, the nun from the Southern Sea turned her head to look at Nelson, "You ultimately, did not trust the wrong person!"
"Master, Julius isn’t in trouble, right?"
Nelson bit his dry lips, his blood-red eyes almost streaming with tears.
"If I’m not mistaken."
The nun from the Southern Sea squinted her eyes, looking at the Dragon King Ring, "The legend is true!"
"What legend?"
Nelson was anxious.
"It’s rumored that the head of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance possesses countless treasures! But the most famous is none other than the Divine Dragon Tripod!"
The nun from the Southern Sea seemed to be lost in memories.
"And the Divine Dragon Tripod, no one has seen. In fact, if he hadn’t come to Azure Mountain that year and formed a karmic bond with you, I wouldn’t even know about it."
"It’s said that the Divine Dragon Tripod isn’t just one item but many. The Dragon King Ring is very likely a part of the Divine Dragon Tripod! Back then, the saint lord crafted the Dragon King Ring to deter Evil Qi! And the most formidable and suitable place to suppress Evil Qi is within the body of the saint lord himself!"
"I presume, it must’ve been after the Dragon King regained his memory, his strength had not yet recovered. And within the Dragon King Ring, the Evil Qi acted up, trying to control him!"
"Furthermore!"
The nun from the Southern Sea turned around and looked at Nelson, "You two, have you slept together?"
"Uh... Master!"
Nelson blushed, lowering his head, "Why suddenly ask this!"
The serious atmosphere instantly vanished.
"Oh! If people knew that my disciple’s man is the saint lord of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! Who would dare let me win when I go play mahjong at Boulevard Mountain!"
The nun from the Southern Sea picked up the satellite phone and handed it to Nelson, "Call someone, get yourselves picked up. And remember, come back to visit the sect when you can."
With that, she slowly stood up and disappeared into the woods.
