Chapter 288 Close Call
Indeed, Gerald was smiling sinisterly.
In fact, he chose not to strike the final blow, because he sensed something different.
He was already very weak till this point. The side effects of Death Storm were quite huge.
At first, Gerald wanted to use the last chance to die together with one of them. It would be best if it was
Jared or Edric.
Cale was Gerald’s third option.
The reason was that Daphne was Cale’s biological daughter
If possible, Gerald wished he could kill every one of the Thornton family
Yet he couldn’t. He only had one shot to kill one of them. Therefore, due to Daphne, Cale became his
last
choice.
Just as Gerald was about to make a move, he felt something surging towards him from beneath the
ruins. It
was the Dragon Bones!
During the previous fight, the Dragon Bones, which had been placed on the table at first, fell to the
ground
after Gordon slapped the table into pieces.
The reason why Gerald could absorb Dragon Bones had something to do with his blood. As he was
thrown into the ruins, his blood sank into the ground and drenched the Dragon Bones. Gerald could
feel that the Dragon Bones were desperately trying to break through the ground and fuse into his body.
He figured that perhaps this was his last chance to turn the tables.
Under such circumstances, he gave up the chance of a final blow and slumped down. Although he was
weak, and his wounds were killing him, he still tried his best to aim his butt at the place where the
Dragon Bones were buried. He hoped to bleed more so that the Dragon Bones could absorb more. In
such a way, they might.
be able to break out of the ground.
Meanwhile, when Dylan and the others saw Gerald sitting on the ground weakly, they let out a slight
sigh of
relief.
Dylan turned around and glanced at Edric fiercely. Then he said calmly, “Jared, after going back,
remove
Edric’s position as the chairman. Cale will be in charge of our family from now on.”
Edric’s expression changed drastically.
Currently, he was in charge of most of the Thornton family’s businesses. Although he and his two
brothers
controlled three parts, he still acted in a certain management role for the other two parts. Yet now,
judging
from Dylan’s words, all his authorities would be deprived.
“Dylan, I had no choice. If I hadn’t pushed Vernon out, both of us would have died!” Edric hurriedly said.
“You could have taken the initiative to go forward and sacrifice yourself to save your brother. He was
your
biological brother after all,” Dylan sighed, shook his head, and looked at Gerald.
“You are better than I thought,” Dylan said lightly “No wonder you dared to come here alone. If Gordon
hadn’t been here today, our family might have been exterminated here.”
Gerald sneered and did not say anything.
“Kneel and apologize. Apologize to Jared. You’ve humiliated our family, and you have to pay the price.
Apologize, and I will grant you a quick death,” Dylan said.
Gerald was speechless for a second. He thought, seriously? At this point, you’re still thinking about
that?
“Come at me with all the tricks you’ve got. Consider I lose if I frown the slightest,” Gerald said
disdainfully
“Dylan,” Gordon said. “Just wrap it up. Things might get tricky once the Watchmen are here.”
Dylan frowned. Then he let out a sigh and said, “Fine.”
After that, he walked towards Gerald step by step.
He pointed the cane in his hand, which was used by him as his sword, at Gerald.
“What a shame,” he sighed.
“Do you
really think you can take me down?” suddenly, Gerald smiled.
“What?” Dylan frowned. “Watchmen won’t have any Vital Energy left in their bodies after using Death
Storm. They can barely live for long. What do you have to turn over?”
“Well, what you say is true for ordinary people.” Gerald grinned. Then he said, “However, I am not an
ordinary
person!
“Bones!” he roared.
“Bang!”
At the same time, an explosive sound suddenly rang out. Three Dragon Bones broke out from the ruins
in the
blink of an eye
“Dylan, kill him! Now!” Gordon’s expression changed violently.
“Dragon Bones!” Dylan felt a chill down his spine.
Right now, Gerald was an equal match for Gordon and he combined. What level would Gerald reach
after he
absorbed three Dragon Bones? They had no idea.
Dylan’s expression changed drastically. He no longer hesitated and stabbed his sword at Gerald.
“Buzz!”
Meanwhile, the three Dragon Bones pierced into Gerald’s body. Gerald let go of his body completely,
allowing
the three Dragon Bones to merge into it.
A buzzing sound rang out. At the same time, a layer of waves rippled out from Gerald’s body. Vigorous
Vital
Energy swept through Gerald’s body in the instant.
“Tinkle!”
Gerald raised his left hand to use Nameless to block Dylan’s fatal strike.
“You’re finished,” Gerald sneered.
Dylan wanted to retreat immediately. He stepped on the ground and quickly went backward, yet Gerald
made
a move.
Gerald’s speed was extremely fast. In almost an instant, he caught up to Dylan.
Dylan raised his cane and slashed at Gerald sideways. Beside him, Gordon was shocked. He
exclaimed, ‘So
powerful!”
Gordon rushed up instantly
“Whoosh!”
Gerald threw his Void-breaking in Gordon’s direction. At the same time, boundless Vital Energy surged
in
Gerald’s right hand, and he aimed Nameless at Dylan.
“Clang!”
Gerald’s Nameless and Dylan’s cane sword collided.
“Crack!”
Dylan’s cane sword snapped.
Nameless did not slow down at all as it headed straight for Dylan’s head.
No one had expected that in Gerald’s desperate situation, he would still be able to counterattack thanks
to the Dragon Bones. Gerald’s attack was practically a sneak attack, and even Dylan was unable to
react in time. Moreover due to the absorption of the three Dragon Bones, Gerald became even more
powerful.
He was so powerful that he broke Dylan’s cane sword with only one strike.
“No!” Dylan cried out in grief. Meanwhile, it was already too late for the others to rescue him. Gerald
was
simply so fast that they were unable to react at all.
By the time they reacted, Dylan had already been beheaded.
“Cross Slash!”
The second Dylan died, Gerald did not speak at all. Then with a low shout, he rushed towards Gordon,
applying Cross Slash.
Gordon turned pale with fright. Vital Energy surged out of his body, and he used the weapon in his
hand to
block Gerald’s attack.
“Clang!”
Another loud sound rang out. Gordon managed to block Gerald’s attack. However, his entire body flew
high into the air and was thrown almost a hundred feet away. Then he fell to the ground and spat out a
mouthful
of blood.
In an instant, Gerald, who was originally cornered, took the upper hand. He counterattacked, killed one
super expert, and injured another!
“Kill him! Kill him now! He’s getting weaker! Round him up and kill him! Gordon fell to the ground. He
ignored his injuries and shouted madly
Gerald frowned.
What Gordon said was the truth.
The impacts brought by Death Storm on his body were too much. The reason why Gerald was able to
attack twice was simply that he had absorbed the Dragon Bones. If he were at his peak, he could have
killed Gordon
by using Cross Slash. However, the last attack he made couldn’t even be compared with the one he
had used
to kill Dylan.
What was more, the Vital Energy flowing in his body after the fusion of Dragon Bones was fading away
continuously
The most important thing was, he was exhausted.
After Gordon’s furious roar, the expressions of the other two dozen people changed. They all looked at
Gerald
at the same time. However… none of them made a move.
No one dared to make a move. Gerald attacked twice, causing the death of one super expert and the
injuries of another The rest of the people present only reached the top level. They didn’t dare to attack
Gerald at all.
What if they were killed by Gerald? No one wanted that.
“Whoever moves will die,” Gerald looked around and sneered.
He looked at Gordon, his eyes flickering. Then he looked at Jared and the others, grinned, and said,
“It’s your turn now. Tell me, how do you want to die?”
Jared had already put the grief of losing his father and son aside. He looked at Gerald with cold sweat
on his forehead.
“A bunch of cowards!” Gerald sneered. Then he rushed in a direction abruptly.
Seeing him rushing over, the people standing there were utterly frightened. They quickly spread out to
both sides, creating a gap, and Gerald ran outside from the gap. He did not even look back.
“He ran away…” All the people present were stunned.
“Go after him! Now! Get him! Kill him!” Gordon shouted. “He’s too weak to fight now. Don’t let him get
away!”
