Chapter 187: Chapter 187: They're insane, truly insane.
They possessed earth-shattering psychic powers, wielded profound-level martial arts, and utilized psychic devices; even their combat prowess was honed between life and death.
In their presence, hidden masters saw the shadows of those from Blackwood.
"One generation stronger than the next!"
"Your prodigy is about to be killed, hurry and save him."
"Have you lost your mind?"
The hidden masters spoke, many at the False Core stage... yet dared not move.
Finally.
Everyone in the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion's expressions changed as a surge of psychic energy erupted!
In the distant sky, an old woman, her face twisted in madness, stared at a woman caught by Donna, bellowing ferociously, "Do not harm my disciple!"
That was... the early stages of Developing Skill!
Behind her, a celestial pearl dharma body split into nine, spinning in the skies of the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion, scattering the snow and wind, pressing down on the three young Blackwoods.
They suddenly looked up... shocked.
Not by the Developing Skill early stage master.
But because...
"Amitabha, to bully the weak, you truly have no shame."
"Brother, why waste words with her? D-level? I want to see just how different she is from a D-level!"
On the black and gold twin lotus platform, a strange scene unfolded.
Charles, dressed in black and typically demonic, was surprisingly genteel, while the nun, Christopher, was extremely rough.
But as the D-level appeared.
The two, who had not been using their full strength on the battlefield, suddenly unleashed a surge of demonic energy!
The lotus platform beneath them grew even more terrifying.
The petals of the lotus had tentacles writhing out, and as the siblings' eyes gleamed with black light, those tentacles rushed towards the nine blood pearls of the Developing Skill Psychic, scattering like celestial maidens, forming a dark curtain around them!
They... were always the strongest prodigies of Blackwood!
[Your descendant Julian, has forged two lotus platforms from the Buddhist psychic equipment and devices taken from the monks of Temple, slaughtered by Monk Jacob, becoming the primary psychic devices for Charles and Christopher!]
[Your descendants Charles and Christopher, received a gift from their elder— Abbot David's right leg. After years of studying Abbot David's thigh, they tainted it with demonic energy while contemplating the Competent Buddhist teachings left behind, integrating Abbot David's right leg into the lotus platform.]
[The primary psychic device merged with Abbot David's right leg, becoming a mid-grade psychic device—the Flesh and Blood Buddha Lotus!]
[Possessing a trace of Competent energy, using flesh and blood to control the enemy!]
Thus, over the years, they have been cultivating psychic powers in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, using treasures previously obtained from the Buddhist sect.
That day, in front of the Sky Sect, what exploded was indeed Abbot David's right leg, now causing Abbot David to limp, especially since the flesh on his body was infinitely useful!
"Boom!"
In the sky, waves formed by ripples surged, and the two monks' Flesh and Blood Buddha Lotus actually withstood the D-level celestial pearl!
But then...
"Spurt!"
Both Charles and Christopher simultaneously spat out a mouthful of black blood as the Flesh and Blood Buddha Lotus retracted back into the lotus platform.
The Developing Skill early-stage master was momentarily stunned; she hadn't expected that these two young descendants of Blackwood could withstand her deadly strike at seventy percent strength, despite only being at the False Core stage.
With her movement, sounds echoed around.
"Blackwood's brats must not be spared!"
"Young ones, spare my grandson's life, and we shall call it even. I do not wish to be enemies with Blackwood!"
"Please spare my disciple's life, I would be eternally grateful."
One by one, masters emerged from the shadows.
Inside the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion, Edward furrowed his brow again as a shadow emerged beside his throne—it was the servant who had been standing next to Betty earlier, now smiling broadly, "Son-in-law, you've won this grand competition, and now you are the prince consort of our royal house. Come with me to the palace, and you can reunite with the young lady and the young master."
"And my siblings?" he asked, his brow furrowed as he looked at the masters and up at Betty in the sky.
The servant shook his head with a smile, "With their status, they wouldn't dare touch your siblings, and besides, Blackwood has its own strong protectors."
"I..."
Edward wanted to say more, but the servant placed a hand on his shoulder, all his psychic devices were taken away, and he was whisked into the sky on a psychic shuttle, along with Betty, heading towards the royal palace.
It all happened in less than ten seconds!
"Brother!"
By the time Nicholas realized what was happening, his expression changed.
"Amitabha."
Charles and Christopher performed a Buddhist salute.
On the ground, the frenzied Donna had already killed the old woman's daughter...
"You destroy my lineage, I want your life!"
The Developing Skill old woman went mad too, so much had happened in such a short time, even those masters protecting their own descendants hesitated, unsure whether to simply help the Blackwood youngsters to curry favor.
The nine celestial pearls rose again, but this time, Charles and Christopher could no longer summon the Flesh and Blood Buddha Lotus.
For the four Blackwood youngsters, these nine celestial pearls represented an irresistible force!
The pressure was descending.
But they showed no fear.
The frenzied Donna's muscles bulged again as she gathered all her strength and shouted, "Old hag! Are you trying to suppress me with your pressure? Come down here, come down!"
"Developing Skill... what kind of Developing Skill are you among those I've encountered?!!"
Nicholas was no coward, although worried about his brother being taken away, he remained fearless!
He used all his psychic power on the Great River Dragon Map, the long river emerged, countless symbols appeared behind him.
They inherited the madness of the Blackwood people, the fearlessness of the Blackwood people.
Even if...
Facing a Developing Skill with just an Emerging Ability body, under such pressure, they still dared to advance!
"They're insane, truly insane."
The surrounding masters also changed their expressions; they were too late to intervene now.
If they thought the Blackwood youngsters were arrogant before, now they realized their madness was beyond that. How could they know what the Blackwood elders had put them through?
"Amitabha."
Charles and Christopher's demonic Buddhist aura burst forth again, wiping the blood from their lips. Although they didn't know how their siblings could be so bold, whether it was Buddha or demon, both were indifferent to life, including their own.
Having just faced a Developing Skill without fear, what was there to fear now?
The two simply transformed into demonic forms, grabbed the lotus platform, and charged into the sky, standing shoulder to shoulder with their siblings, smashing towards the old woman's celestial pearls!
Just then.
"Chant!"
Sword shadows formed rainbows, coming from far away.
Across the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion, all swords vibrated involuntarily, flying towards the sky.
Following that.
These sword shadows, carrying the sharpness of swords, turned into dragons, almost pausing time and space, and with just one collision, shattered the nine celestial pearls!
Before everyone's astonished eyes, the swords pierced the old woman, turning her into a wasp's nest!
"Did you really think Blackwood had no one left?"
