“Ah!”
With a roar, Heinrik released an aura of terror that shattered the encasing frost instantly.
“Mr. Delacroix, while we are fighting tooth and nail here, are you just standing by watching us as if it’s some kind of a joke?”
Fuming with anger, Heinrik glared at Lauden, who was not far off, and questioned vehemently.
The Five Great Sects were all engaged in a
fierce battle. Keelan, the sect leader from Celestial Dawn Sect, hadn’t made a move, but Heinrik knew why.
Keelan had been poisoned. He was currently unable to utilize his spiritual energy, for if he did, the poison would rapidly spread, and he would soon meet his death.
In this place, without an alchemist to be found, death was undoubtedly inevitable.
However, Lauden was observing the battle alongside Jared, showing no intention of intervening. Even the holy maiden that Jared brought along was keeping her distance.
It was clear they were being set up. So why wouldn’t Heinrik be anxious?
“Mr. Darkmore, that ice bears are just too formidable. I can’t really step in. Besides, if I did, I was afraid you might stab me in the back,” Lauden said in a nonchalant manner.
Heinrik was taken aback. He understood the meaning behind Lauden’s words!
“Mr. Delacroix, our Five Great Sects are essentially part of the same lineage. Are you really going to just stand by and watch us fight to our death? As one of the leaders of the Five Great Sects, you shouldn’t be so narrow- minded. How could we possibly lay a hand on you? At most, we just have some designs on Jared! After all, this guy is worth a century’s worth of offerings of Demon-Sealing Alliance!”
Surprisingly, Heinrik started playing the emotional card with Master Luo.
He knew that if Lauden weren’t going to step in, they, facing such a multitude of venomous parasites and ice bears, would have inevitably met defeat sooner or later!
These demon beasts were as if they’d been drugged, each one incredibly excited, attacking with all their might.
“Hmph, don’t even think your plan is flawless.” He scoffed. “Mr. Cervantes had already informed me. You all plan to kill me in this polar region. Let me tell you this. I chose to collaborate with Jared precisely to guard against the three of you. We share the same lineage, yet you harbored intentions to kill me. How could I possibly help you!”
Simply put, Lauden decided to lay it all out in the open.
Heinrik and his group were entangled by the ice bears. They couldn’t escape in a short span of time.
Even if they had managed to escape by sheer luck, they would be completely exhausted. They were at a point where they could be effortlessly killed.
Upon hearing this, Heinrik was instantly seething with rage, grinding his teeth in fury. He glared at Keelan with a menacing intensity.
“Keelan, it seems you’ve forgotten the poison you carry within you. How dare you betray us? Don’t blame me for being ruthless, then. Without my antidote, the poison in you will claim your life in three days.”
Even at this point in time, Heinrik had the audacity to glare defiantly, threatening Keelan.
“You don’t need to threaten him. I can cure his poison!”
Jared stepped forward and spoke up.
Upon seeing that, Heinrik became even more infuriated.
However, his current anger was futile. The three of them were at their wit’s end, dealing with several ice bears, not to mention the constant harassment from venomous parasites.
“Brat, don’t get cocky thinking that a few demon beasts can trap us. Once we’ve slain these creatures, you can bet your life is next!” Heinrik roared in anger, venting the fury within his heart.
“Hmph! You won’t have the chance!”
After Jared finished speaking, he moved like a shooting star, instantly heading toward Heinrik.
Jared moved with such speed. It was as if he had vanished in an instant.
Upon witnessing this scene, Heinrik was taken aback.
With his Blazing Stride, Jared launched a punch toward Heinrik.
As he threw a punch, multiple fist shadows cascaded, and a burst of golden light emerged, akin to the blazing sun in the sky.
“How dare you…” Heinrik gritted his teeth in anger.
Boom!
No sooner had his words been spoken than the punch landed right before Heinrik.
He wanted to dodge but found himself wholly enveloped by the terrifying fist shadows of the punch, leaving him with absolutely nowhere to hide.
A sense of danger suddenly arose within him.
“Mr. Wilcox, Mr. Sherman, save me…”
Terror filled Heinrik’s eyes as he cried out for help. However, those two were so entangled by the ice bears that they hardly had any chance to come to his rescue.
