The Story Never Ends

"A late-stage Golden Core State?" Davion muttered.

"I will definitely get my ass whooped if I meet him right now. So, I should forget about that for now."

Then he looked at Edgar, "It looks like you are quite useless to me."

"You…just agreed on the deal." Edgar felt terrified thinking of the blade on his neck.

"But you couldn\'t answer the last question." Davion immediately tried to cut off his head but it got obstructed by something.

A red film was formed outside the surface of his skin which slowly covered his whole body. Seeing this, Davion infused more spiritual energy into his blade, but it still couldn\'t break it.

"Haha, did you really think you could kill me with this?" Edgar managed to break free and laughed.

"This is a defensive talisman that can even withstand a blow of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. But it can be only used once. I didn\'t want to waste it but I had no choice. You really pushed me too far."

He ripped the cloth around his neck with both his hands, revealing a strange talisman hanging around his neck.

"It was a gift given to me by the Sect Master for breaking into the Golden Core State. It was personally made by the Sect Master of the Northern Alchemist Sect. So, you can forget about breaking it."

He then ran in the direction of the elders while yelling, "ELDERS HEL.."

Before he could finish his words, dark tentacles as thick as a trunk of a tree came from the back of him and tied his whole body up. Even his mouth got covered. So, he couldn\'t finish his words.

"Even though I cannot kill you now, I can still prevent you from leaving," Davion\'s calm voice rang through his ears.

On the other side, the three elders were still battling with the Lion. The battle was getting too dangerous and even a slight mistake could be fatal.

Suddenly they heard someone calling them out from a distance.

"Damn, who is calling us?"

"It sounds like Edgar."

"Did something happen to him?"

"It should not be the case. I don\'t think there is anyone here who can possess a threat to Edgar even if he is injured."

"He also has a talisman to protect his life."

"Yeah, we should just focus here. We have no time to go there and see."

"We just need to hold for a few minutes. Thaddeus should not be able to hold for long."

While they were discussing, three large Corrosive Balls came in their direction. They barely managed to dodge it, but the lion had already closed the distance and came towards one of the elders.

Before the elder could react, a sharp claw had already caught his arm with which he was holding his saber. He wanted to force out the claw, but the Lion managed to rip off his whole arm.

"Ahh…"

Before he could react, another claw had already come for his head. But this time, the other elders came in time and blocked it with their sabers.

"My arm.." He channeled his Qi and forcibly managed to stop the blood flow. He then picked up the saber and again joined the battle even though he was injured. They would never allow the lion to escape with Thaddeus.

After a few minutes, the red film which managed to protect Edgar finally became dim.

Seeing this Davion could finally sigh with relief, "I didn\'t know that these talismans could have been so powerful. It would have been trouble if I let him escape. He nearly managed to call out the elders. But it looks like the elders are still busy with the Sect Master. I should finish this soon and get there."

A few seconds later, the talisman burned and turned into dust and he could finally kill Edgar. So, he didn\'t waste his time and immediately controlled his dark tentacles. The dark tentacles which were wrapping Edgar\'s body finally started squeezing.

Edgar wanted to shout out loud but he couldn\'t even make a sound. Blood started to come out from his eyes, nose, and mouth; as a result, he slowly lost his breath.

In this way, the most famous genius, the elder of the number one sect in the outer region, the Blood Saber Sect, was squeezed to death.

"Eh, but why didn\'t I get any experience points?" Davion pondered.

"I made sure he lost his breath. I even used my Mind-Eye to make sure."

"It looks like I can only know after destroying his body completely."

Dark smoke came out of his body which covered Edgar\'s body completely. His body started decaying slowly.

"It looks like the body of a Golden Core Cultivator is really strong. I destroyed the body of his disciples earlier in a jiffy."

While the body of Edgar was rotting, suddenly something strange happened.
