Chapter 297: A Head on the Line, Sean’s Conditions
The whole process!
It lasted for about two minutes!
During these two minutes, everyone stared wide-eyed, holding their breath, and focused intently on Fergus Archer at the center of the blood mist. They watched as Fergus Archer’s limbs and body gradually disappeared, and the exposed bones rapidly increased!
Two minutes later!
Swoosh!
With the final cut, Sean stopped his movements, and his burly figure reappeared in front of Fergus Archer and within everyone’s view. At this point, Fergus Archer had completely turned into a skeleton!
From head to toe, it was all white bones!
He was dead beyond any doubt!
“Bright Realm!”
“It’s always been the goal you’ve pursued!”
“Right?”
Sean looked at the towering skeleton of Fergus Archer in front of him, even with the flesh stripped away, his face expressionless. He said solemnly, “Now, you can die at the hands of a true Bright Realm cultivator like me!”
“Die under my Wolf’s Massacre!”
“It should be your honor!”
“You!”
“You really did die from your own pleasure. You don’t need to thank me in the afterlife!”
Crack!
As if responding to Sean, Fergus Archer’s skeleton collapsed with a crash just as Sean finished speaking. It piled up at Sean’s feet, forming a large heap!
South Forest Lord Archer!
Fergus Archer!
Dead!
He died right there in Prince Adam’s mansion, under the watchful eyes of everyone, in such a tragic and mournful manner!
Truly shattered to pieces!
Dying without a proper burial!
How lamentable!
Afterward!
Sean didn’t look at Fergus Archer’s skeleton again but instead turned to face Prince Roscoe and the others standing in front of the pavilion!
Prince Roscoe’s heart skipped a beat!
His face darkened slightly!
He hurriedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Mason, for your righteous assistance, for stepping forward and eliminating the scourge of Fergus Archer. Not only did you save our lives, but it was also a loyal act of eliminating traitors for the country!”
“Thank you, Mr. Mason!”
“Thank you, Mr. Mason!”
Having witnessed Sean’s terrifying strength, Princes Adam and Lillard also put aside their royal airs and thanked Sean together with Prince Roscoe.
Capital nobles!
Survival of the fittest!
Only absolute strength can win enough respect!
The nine old men of the Complete Stage who survived by luck were even more grateful to Sean. They owed him their lives, and this debt was greater than the sky. They would even be willing to kneel down and kowtow to thank Sean if he asked!
However, Sean’s gaze swept over these people without responding to them. The reason was simple. According to Pierce Porter’s confession in the cave at Hill Riverside, Prince Roscoe was one of the masterminds behind the death of Williams Mason!
Even worse!
He was the main instigator!
Naturally, Sean wouldn’t easily let him off!
But now!
The person Sean needed to deal with first was not Prince Roscoe but Prince Ashby on the other side!
Prince Ashby!
Crown Prince Ashby!
Ever since Sean arrived in the capital and attended Carl’s welcoming banquet, Prince Ashby’s faction had always regarded him as an enemy, trying to kill him time and time again!
That would be fine!
The key point was!
After learning about Sean’s extraordinary background and powerful bloodline, Prince Ashby and Fergus Archer actually targeted Phyllis. They sent Chuck Campbell and others to travel far to Hilshire, tricking Cecelia and Phyllis into coming to the capital, attempting to refine Phyllis’s bloodline!
This was unbearable!
Absolutely intolerable!
“Mr. Mason!”
Confronting Sean’s cold gaze, Prince Ashby’s face turned extremely ugly, but he still managed to squeeze out a forced smile and took the initiative to say, “Mr. Mason, you are a talented and peerless martial artist, truly deserving the title of the renowned General Wolf of the North!”
“At the age of twenty-six, you officially entered the ranks of the Bright Realm!”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Having a young hero like Mr. Mason is truly Kisia’s fortune!”
“Heh heh!”
“I may have had some misunderstandings with Mr. Mason before, and I know that you must be resentful toward me. Here, in front of all my imperial brothers, I, Prince Ashby, apologize to Mr. Mason and hope that you can let bygones be bygones and continue to serve our country by defending our territory!”
“I promise!”
“From now on, I will treat Mr. Mason and your family and friends with respect. Should Mr. Mason have any needs, I will spare no effort to fulfill them as much as possible…”
His words!
Spoken with conviction and forceful eloquence!
First, he shamelessly flattered Sean, then took the initiative to admit his mistake, wanting to turn hostility into friendship with Sean, and even seemed to be trying to win Sean over!
After all!
With Sean’s current strength in the Bright Realm, and his potential to be an emperor, except for Padishah, he has become nearly invincible in the whole country. Even among the previously ranked “Four Great Generals,” the other three have been left behind by him!
He stands out from the crowd!
Fergus Archer’s death!
This is a clear example!
So!
Who Sean supports or opposes in the upcoming battle for succession, and whose side he stands on, his attitude is especially important!
Even!
It can determine the success or failure between Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe!!!
Shameless!
Prince Roscoe and others were disgusted by Prince Ashby’s change of attitude and cursed him secretly, but they dared not speak openly, fearing to provoke Sean, who didn’t have a good impression of them either!
But Sean laughed!
However!
His smile was cold!
“Really?”
Sean didn’t argue with Prince Ashby about past rights and wrongs, and asked directly, “No matter what I ask for, will Your Highness Prince Ashby agree?”
“No matter what I want!”
“Will Your Highness Prince Ashby give it to me?”
Upon hearing this!
Prince Ashby was taken aback, feeling a sense of impending doom, his pupils contracted, and he said solemnly, “Mr. Mason, please speak up!”
“As long as it’s not too excessive, I’ll do my best!”
Sure enough!
Just as Prince Ashby feared, Sean made an extremely outrageous request without hesitation, saying, “If I say I want Your Highness Prince Ashby’s life and head!”
“I wonder!”
“Is Your Highness Prince Ashby willing to give it???”
With those words!
Everyone was stunned!
Even Prince Roscoe and others, who knew Sean wasn’t a pushover and would not let things go easily, never expected Sean to be so audacious!
Face to face!
Asking for Prince Ashby’s head outright!
Such words!
Even Prince Roscoe and others could only say it a few times in their hearts, thinking about it, but who would dare speak it out loud with such brazenness???
But!
Sean dared!!!
“How dare you!!!”
“Insolent!!!”
Prince Ashby’s face instantly turned icy cold, and before he could respond, Prince William and Prince Green at his side couldn’t help but scold Sean loudly!
They didn’t believe!
That Sean would really dare to kill a prince of the current dynasty in broad daylight!
“Heh heh!”
Sean didn’t even bother looking at Prince William and Prince Green, his cold eyes fixed on Prince Ashby, shaking his head and saying, “Without Padishah’s permission, if I take Your Highness Prince Ashby’s head, it would indeed be a bit excessive!”
“But!”
“Your Highness Prince Ashby sent people to capture my wife and children, this grudge cannot go unavenged!”
“So!”
“In my opinion, why not…”
As he spoke!
Sean’s gaze swept over the thirty-two old men in the Complete Stage realm, saying solemnly, “They are loyal to Your Highness Prince Ashby, and I’m sure they would be willing to sacrifice everything for Your Highness!”
“Let’s have half of them die in place of Your Highness Prince Ashby, to atone for his sins!”
“How about that?”
There were a total of thirty-two old men, half of which would be sixteen!
With Prince Ashby’s status, Sean couldn’t just kill him as he pleased, but taking this opportunity to clip Prince Ashby’s wings and weaken his power, that was something he could do!
In an instant!
The faces of the thirty-two old men turned green!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
How did this suddenly fall on our heads when we were just standing by?
We are innocent!
And what nonsense about loyalty and sacrificing everything? It’s just a matter of interests. If necessary, we can betray at any time, okay???
“Sean!” Seeing Sean being aggressive and showing no intention of easing the situation, Prince Ashby clenched his teeth and instantly put away his respectful attitude from before, coldly snorting, “Don’t push your luck!”
“Is this pushing my luck?” Sean shrugged indifferently, “I’m just making a suggestion. If Prince Ashby doesn’t agree, he can refuse!”
“However!” Sean continued, “In that case, if I take matters into my own hands, I’m afraid the death toll won’t be limited to just half!”
The implication was clear! Taking half of your elite forces as a sacrifice for your sins was already a favor, a discount for your sake. If you don’t appreciate the gesture and remain ungrateful, then I’m sorry, I’ll kill even more people!
“You dare!” Prince Ashby’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, icy cold!
But Sean didn’t care about Prince Ashby’s threat, confronting him directly, “Prince Ashby knows me well!”
“Congratulations!” Sean acknowledged, “You’re right, I do dare!”
With a swish, the moment his words landed, Sean didn’t hesitate. He turned into a shadow, picked up the Wolf’s Massacre, and charged towards the thirty-two old men around him!
The blade’s aura broke through the air before Sean even arrived! “Ah!” “Ah!” The blade’s phantom, formed by the mighty bright energy, could kill from a distance. Fergus Archer couldn’t stand against it, let alone these ordinary old men at the Complete Stage. Accompanied by screams, with a swing of the blade, three old men caught off guard were cut through by the phantom, their bodies severed in half at their waists!
The blade’s phantom sliced through them as if they were vegetables! “Damn it!” “Run!” “Run quickly!” When the remaining old men at the Complete Stage finally reacted, three of their companions were already dead on the spot. They had witnessed Fergus Archer’s tragic death and were still terrified, how could they dare to fight Sean?
For everyone, the first thought that came to mind was: Run! Run for their lives! With so many people fleeing in different directions, even if Sean was faster, he couldn’t possibly catch everyone! Escaping one by one, living one by one! As for Prince Ashby… As for their interests… Nonsense! Their lives were barely hanging by a thread, no time for loyalty or interests!
And so, under the astounded gazes of people like Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe, in the next few dozens of seconds, Sean seemed to transform into a butcher who had entered a pigpen or chicken coop. Under the flashes of blade and sword, those old men at the Complete Stage were sent into disarray, running and panicking like panicked animals…
