Chapter 531 Kill Me If You Want To
“Who are you?” Shane was baffled.
“Seeing as you’re about to die, I’ll be kind and tell you. I’m the third elder of the Crescent Sect. The recently missing girls were all my doings. What can you do about it?”
The master laughed maniacally.
Shane’s expression darkened at his confession. He never thought the third elder of Crescent Sect would impersonate a diviner in a temple. The sect’s abilities had far surpassed the Department of Justice’s prediction.
The elder’s ability was much stronger than him. Shane couldn’t annihilate the entire Crescent Sect even if he possessed immense talent. There were also the four elders and the head of the sect.
He couldn’t understand why Theodore would send him to annihilate Crescent Sect. With his skills, he couldn’t have completed his mission.
Theodore wasn’t putting his hope on Shane but on Jared for the task. The general was sure Jared could obliterate the organization if he made a move.
Shane had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on. He unleashed his energy to the limit and continued to fight with the third elder.
No matter how hard Shane tried, he lost.
Boom!
The third elder exerted a punch toward Shane’s chest, rendering him backward, crashing into the window. The glass from the window shattered into a million tiny shards.
Blood sputtered from Shane’s mouth. He wanted to get up but couldn’t even after numerous times. His subordinates were all lying on the ground. They were dead or severely injured.
“I quite admire the bravery of the Department of Justice to send a mere Senior Grandmaster to pick a fight against Crescent Sect. Are you underestimating us?”
The third elder reached Shane’s side and stomped on the latter’s chest.
“Stop talking and kill me if you want to.”
Despite his defeat, Shane didn’t display even a bit of fear in his eyes.
“I have heard about the brave men of the Department of Justice. It looks like that rumor is true. However, I’m not going to let you die so easily.”
The third elder sneered and stomped on Shane’s chest again, cracking a few ribs this time.
The excruciating pain had Shane sweating bullets, yet he gritted his teeth and withheld from making any sound.
Megan paled at the sight and turned her head to the side. She didn’t want to watch what would happen next.
Before departing from the hotel, she disliked, even hated Shane, but at that moment, she hoped he would pull through.
Her warning of Shane’s bloody calamity earlier that day wasn’t to rile him up. It came true. Alas, she couldn’t predict her own adversity.
At that time, Jared had walked out of the resort, following a stream into a deeper part of Crescent Sect where there were fewer tourists. In the end, there was no one around but him. The two towering mountains beside him had blocked the sun’s rays, enshrouding the canyon in darkness.
Jared continued to study the terrain around him and searched for any spiritual energy pulses in the surrounding. Most of the members of Crescent Sect were mages. They would have faint spiritual energy pulses within them. Jared would sense it if any of them were in the vicinity.
It would be great if he could find the base, but he knew organizations like Crescent Sect were secretive. They wouldn’t set up their base at a spot that tourists could easily stumble upon.
He continued his trek deeper into the canyon. After a long walk, he sensed a few spiritual energy pulses heading toward him. He set back his lifted foot onto the ground.
Looking around the empty canyon, Jared flicked a ball of spiritual energy from his fingers. It traveled a few inches, then slammed into a barrier of sort and flashed red. The flash of red spread out around the barrier like a spiderweb then was gone the next second.
“They even set up an array here.”
Jared smirked at that knowledge, then spun on his heels and left.
