Chapter 838: Chapter 838 Past Events
Before Wyatt Carmichael could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest!
And then...
He was sent flying backward.
Falling to the ground.
Vomiting blood.
"Mad Dragon... you... you’re not injured..."
Wyatt Carmichael’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Julius Reed.
"When did I ever say I was wounded?"
Julius Reed walked towards him step by step with an indifferent expression on his face.
"No... don’t kill me..."
Wyatt Carmichael kicked his legs continuously, trying to escape from there.
But his body was now as if it had fallen apart!
Every struggle to crawl away was an endless torment.
As for those disciples, they turned to run even more quickly.
Who would still care for their master?
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Just then.
Sounds of hidden weapon boxes echoed from the woods.
And those Ceylon Mountain disciples, before they could even run out of the woods.
Collapsed one by one into pools of blood.
"Mad Dragon! How do you do."
After the noises of the hidden weapon boxes, a group of Shadow Warriors dressed in black suits slowly emerged.
They were all clad in black overcoats, black gloves.
In their hands, they held various types of hidden weapon boxes.
Clearly, it was they who had killed those Ceylon Mountain men just moments ago.
"Arden Bread! It’s actually you..."
As soon as he saw the faces of the newcomers, Wyatt Carmichael’s eyes showed disbelief!
The man leading in a black overcoat was none other than the Third Master of Shadow Gate, known as ’Life-Stealing Shadow’, Arden Bread!
And the news of Mad Dragon’s injury was exactly what Arden Bread had sent his men to inform Ceylon Mountain.
"That’s right, surprised?"
Arden Bread, with a cigar in his mouth, strolled leisurely until he was less than five meters away from Julius Reed and Wyatt Carmichael, looking them over carefully.
"Oh, is it really Mad Dragon?"
He said cheerily, "When Rufus Bay sent the photo, I could hardly believe it! Four years, a whole four years!"
Hiss!
After taking a puff of his cigar, Arden Bread gently exhaled the smoke.
"For four years, everyone thought you were dead. But I never believed it; I didn’t believe that you, Mad Dragon, would die!" 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
As he reached the end of his sentence, Arden Bread’s tone became more and more agitated, "How dominant was Seven Clouds Academy back then? They had all the martial world’s lords too afraid to even lift their heads! If you hadn’t disappeared, where would Deep Cold’s opportunities come from?"
At the height of Seven Clouds Academy’s fame, wherever they went, the local lords had to personally come out to welcome them!
Even the Marshal of Deep Cold, back then, had to bow and bend the knee to the Academy.
But very few had actually seen Mad Dragon.
Otherwise, Deep Cold wouldn’t have fought with Julius Reed for half a year, unaware that his opponent was once a martial world overlord—
Mad Dragon!
And among those fortunate enough to have seen Julius Reed’s face all those years ago was Arden Bread.
Over four years, Arden Bread had used the claim of discovering Mad Dragon to incite a fierce civil war in the martial world.
During this, Shadow Gate took advantage to expand and became the strongest force in California.
Ceylon Mountain, located in the northern part of California, was the only organization that could rival Shadow Gate in power.
Now, Arden Bread wanted to kill two birds with one stone!
By using Julius Reed to eliminate Wyatt Carmichael and, when both parties were weakened by the fight, he would reap the benefits as the opportunist.
But what he hadn’t expected was...
Wyatt Carmichael didn’t even have the power to fight and was defeated by Mad Dragon instantly!
"Arden Bread! You schemed against me!"
Wyatt Carmichael lay on the ground, looking at Arden Bread in agony, gritting his teeth, "You killed my Ceylon Mountain people, Ceylon Mountain will never let this go!"
Thinking of being calculated against, he was filled with regret inside.
"You are wrong!"
Arden Bread’s black boots stepped on the fallen leaves in Baron Grey, slowly lifting his hidden weapon box, "The one killing you is not our Shadow Gate. It is, Mad Dragon."
Whiz!
The hidden weapon box sounded.
Blood began to stream from the center of Wyatt Carmichael’s forehead.
And his whole body lay on the ground, eyes wide open.
Motionless.
"Alright!"
After taking down Wyatt Carmichael, Arden Wade shook his body and threw the cigar onto the ground.
He stomped it out with his foot.
"Mad Dragon, I know you’re skilled," he slowly raised the hidden weapon box, aiming it at Julius Reed, "but today, I’ve come prepared."
No sooner had his words fallen than another group of people appeared from the woods.
The hidden weapon box aimed at Julius Reed, leaving no dead angles.
"Hand over the Divine Dragon Tripod."
Arden Wade took a step forward.
The dark mouth of the hidden weapon box aimed at Julius Reed’s head, "I’ll give you half a minute to think. In half a minute, the darts from inside the box will hit your left leg, right leg. Then your left hand, right hand."
For a moment, the sounds of the hidden weapon boxes filled the woods.
It seemed...
Ready at any moment.
"Time starts now." Arden Wade looked down at his watch, "You have twenty-nine seconds."
After speaking, a smirk appeared on his lips, "You’d better be sensible. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make you talk."
Looking around, the woods were filled with Shadow Gate members, all ready to act.
"I need to correct a mistake of yours."
Julius Reed looked at the overly confident Arden Wade before him, "First, the first dart from your hidden weapon box will hit your head. Second, it’s not me who has half a minute to think, but you."
"Mad Dragon! Still with the tough talk!"
Arden Wade twisted his neck and said disdainfully, "Out of respect for your past dominance, I’m giving you this chance! If you don’t appreciate it, don’t blame me for ruining your good name in your later years!"
"Ten seconds, you have ten seconds left," Julius Reed said with a faint smile, "Put down your weapons and kneel. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Arden Wade smirked, "What can you possibly do to me?"
He was very aware of Mad Dragon’s capabilities.
But now, the hidden weapon box was pointed at Mad Dragon!
The hands holding the hidden weapon box were the elite of the Shadow Gate’s elite, fully capable of ending a life with a single shot!
Such a lineup seemed unstoppable by anyone in the world.
"Time’s up."
Julius Reed chuckled lightly and suddenly burst out!
Whoosh!
In the air, only a shadow remained!
"Release the hidden weapons!"
Arden Wade’s heart lurched, and before he could react, the hidden weapon box was snatched from his hands!
The next moment!
The mouth of the hidden weapon box, pointed at his head.
"Are you human or a ghost!"
Arden Wade shouted in horror, "You’re not Mad Dragon!"
After all, he was the third in command of Shadow Gate, but he hadn’t even seen how his adversary moved.
"Whether I’m Mad Dragon is no longer important,"
Julius Reed’s lips curved into a smile, "Thank you, for helping me remember this."
The Divine Dragon Tripod, he seemed to recall...
The reason he didn’t continue to provide Granny Xihua with the medicine was precisely because the Divine Dragon Tripod had been lost.
Without the Divine Dragon Tripod, the life-extending medicine couldn’t be produced.
Ten years ago, he assumed the name Mad Dragon and came to the martial world, founding the Seven Clouds Academy...
Hisss!
Pain!
Headache!
Arden Wade noticed his odd behavior and cold light flashed in his eyes!
Swish!
Before Arden Wade could pull the trigger on the poison egg.
The sound of the hidden weapon box went off again.
Just as Julius Reed had said.
The first dart passed through Arden Wade’s head and lodged into a tree beside him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The woods erupted with the intense sound of hidden weapons being fired.
Julius Reed pushed Arden Wade’s body forward and turned into a shadow, disappearing into the woods.
"Nelson, where are you? I’ve got something to ask you."
After leaving the woods, Julius Reed directly called Nelson.
The Maiden of Azure Mountain from ten years ago must know!
"Initial Heart Hotel, floor thirteen."
Inside a themed room at Initial Heart Hotel,
Nelson, clad in black stockings and holding a wine glass, licked her lips, "If I don’t see you in half an hour, I’ll return to Azure Mountain."
