Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Love Killing Grandmasters the Most
Tonight, no matter what happened, the Leocadia Family members did not find it surprising.
They watched, dumbstruck yet extremely numb.
"If anyone dares breathe a word of this matter, I will take his life!"
Evangeline Leocadia staggered to her feet and with a wave of her hand commanded, "Dismissed!"
The Leocadia family members felt as if a great burden had been lifted.
Some had just stood up when their legs went weak, and they sat back down on their chairs.
Most people’s legs would no longer obey them.
They could only support each other, slowly leaving the banquet hall.
"Mr. Reed, do you require any assistance?"
Evangeline Leocadia asked, her face pale.
Whoosh!
Julius Reed pointed his finger, tapping her shoulder, "You go stop the bleeding first. I’ll take care of Sophia Leocadia’s poison."
Having said that, he waved his hand wearily.
Tired ah!
Physically and mentally exhausted.
Had he not cared for the Leocadia family members’ lives just now, he likely could have captured both individuals.
However, with Sophia Leocadia here, he couldn’t just stand by and watch.
He had to bear the cost of being injured in order to leave Orville Ellsworth behind.
Now...
He had to detoxify Sophia Leocadia.
After everyone had left, Julius Reed walked over to Orville Ellsworth’s body, crouched down, and began to search incessantly.
Five minutes later, he took out a bunch of small medicine bottles, trying each one in turn.
Finally, he kept a small white pill.
When he had wandered through Medicine King Valley in years past, Julius Reed had tasted various poisons there.
He wished to taste, to see what these peerless poisons were truly like.
Therefore, he had some understanding of the poison that afflicted Sophia Leocadia.
Very poisonous, yet not the most toxic.
The white pill in his hand was not the antidote for the poison in Sophia Leocadia’s body.
But who was Orville Ellsworth?
The Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley!
The pinnacle of medical expertise!
This white pill could neutralize most poisons from Medicine King Valley.
Natalia Leocadia wanted Sophia Leocadia to die in agony, thus the poison acted very slowly.
But every minute, every second, was like drilling into the heart with excruciating pain!
"Hoo!"
Julius Reed took a deep breath to steady his internal energy, then stuffed the pill into Sophia Leocadia’s mouth.
Then he picked up a cup of water, slowly pouring it in.
One second, two seconds...
Half a minute later.
Sophia Leocadia’s lips moved slightly, and her complexion began to improve.
It seemed to be effective.
Seeing she was no longer in danger, Julius Reed gently stood up and turned to leave.
But his hand.
Was suddenly grasped.
The smooth and delicate little hand held on tight.
Though it lacked strength, the grip felt as if it could not be shaken off.
"Rest well,"
Julius Reed said lightly, his back to Sophia Leocadia.
Yet there was no response.
That hand held on tighter and tighter.
Fearing that Julius Reed would shake it off at any moment.
"I still have matters to attend to,"
Julius Reed said softly, taking another deep breath.
However.
There was still no response.
Sophia Leocadia, with eyes tightly closed, seemed as if she couldn’t hear.
Holding on tightly.
"Get some rest early, nourish your health, and I can take you to Brighton Lake to enjoy the scenery,"
Julius Reed spoke again.
The decisive battle with the Deputy Chairman of the Martial Association!
It was about to unfold.
The whole world was watching.
Only then did Sophia Leocadia’s hand slowly loosen.
"Once you’re rested, our fight will already be over,"
Julius Reed left quickly.
"Liar..."
On the floor of the Leocadia banquet hall, Sophia Leocadia lay quietly.
She murmured softly, "Big liar..."
Her two little fists clenched tightly.
...
"Eh..."
Outside the Capital. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
In a grove.
Atticus Ellsworth leaned against a tree with both hands, vomiting fresh blood!
His face was deathly pale, and his body wouldn’t stop shaking.
As a Grandmaster, the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley!
For the first time in nearly a hundred years, he’d been so disgracefully beaten!
He fled everywhere like a stray dog.
Inside his body, his qi and blood roiled in agony.
The golden qi rampaged without end, making it nearly impossible for him to maintain his composure.
"Huff!"
After taking a deep breath, Atticus Ellsworth took out his phone and dialed a mysterious number.
"How did it go?"
On the other end of the phone, the sound of wind whooshing could be heard!
It sounded like it was from the edge of a cliff.
"He is very strong! So strong that even the two of us joining forces could not kill him! And..."
Atticus’s tone deepened as he spoke.
In his voice was a thick layer of hatred.
"And what?"
"And, Orville Ellsworth unfortunately fell victim to a deadly attack, murdered by Julius Reed in the Leocadia Family home!"
Atticus said in agony.
"What!"
The voice at the end of the line showed a rare fluctuation.
"The Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley, killed by someone?"
"It is our incompetence..."
Atticus’s grief was boundless, his voice filled with reluctance.
"You... but you are a Grandmaster!"
The disbelief was apparent on the phone.
"He is too... and even stronger than I."
Remembering the golden Sword Qi, Atticus still felt shocked to his core.
It was too formidable!
Even as a Grandmaster, he simply could not match it!
"Impossible!"
The voice over the phone became stern, "I know all the Grandmasters on the Heaven Ranking. Who is this youth that possesses such merit and ability to be elevated to Grandmaster status?"
A Grandmaster, a peerless powerhouse.
Every time a new Grandmaster emerged, the Heaven Ranking would be updated.
And a solemn ceremony would be held!
Then, top martial artists from all over would come to worship and pay respect.
On this continent, it had been several years since the last Grandmaster had appeared.
The last to be listed among the Grandmasters was none other than Atticus Ellsworth!
"But he... can already command qi to form a sword, isn’t that the hallmark of a Grandmaster?"
Atticus said in pain.
Now the qi blade within his chest would not stop surging through him.
Damaging his internal organs!
"Not necessarily! I will contact Thunderpeak Hall, you come back and heal your wounds."
"Good! And the corpse of Orville..."
"I’ll arrange for someone to bring it back. Additionally, Ghost Valley can still be of use. At the very least, we can secure the source of the blood."
"Understood!"
Atticus hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
"Who’s there!"
He spun around suddenly, his gaze filled with caution!
Behind him lay danger.
As a Grandmaster, he could perceive many things ordinary people could not.
"Greetings."
From the woods emerged a man holding a long spear.
The man had a silvery-gray complexion, and on him, a blood-colored armor!
"Who are you!"
Atticus wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, looking coldly at the man before him, "Scram! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!"
He was extremely weak now and wanted to avoid any further trouble.
Moreover, he sensed that the man before him was not weak!
Although Atticus was fully capable of defeating the man with his abilities, he was now gravely injured.
His combat strength had greatly diminished.
"Kill me?"
Hades cracked a smile, revealing a row of white teeth.
"I am a Grandmaster!"
Atticus took a deep breath, saying with utmost calm, "You dare to strike at a Grandmaster?"
"I enjoy killing Grandmasters the most," Hades said in a hoarse voice, yet his smile remained.
He slowly lifted his right hand!
In his hand, the silver spear named ’Thunderstrike’ flashed with a cold glint under the moonlight!
A murderous aura filled the forest.
"You dare!"
Atticus roared in anger.
"I dare."
Hades lifted his spear above his head and thrust it forward fiercely!
PS: Two more Chapters to go, which will be published within an hour and a half, or two hours.
Sorry to keep everyone waiting.
Was dealing with some work matters, which caused a slight delay.
