In the blink of an eye, two waves of strong spiritual power flooded the area within a hundred meters
around the fighters, along with the flashing lights that the two forces had created. The strong spiritual
power lashed out at the surroundings and anyone unfortunate enough to be near, forcing everyone to
retreat. Even the enchanted barrier that Sherman had cast began to fluctuate violently.
At the same time, the two forces enveloped in light suddenly intersected with each other, as the two
fighters, Rocky and Alexander, fought with all their might.
After the dazzling light dissipated and the aftermath of the spiritual power gradually subsided, Rocky,
who had exchanged position with Alexander, suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood to the ground.
The blood on his lips and chin made him look quite terrifying.
"Ha-ha!" Geoffrey laughed in delight, thinking that Rocky had finally reached his limit and would die
soon. Yet, he didn't know that he would pay a heavy price for his naivety and arrogance.
Almost at the same time, a light flashed in Rocky's body, and Ken immediately shot out and landed on
the ground. The limit of the Spirit Possession had been reached.
Thus, Rocky immediately took Ken back to his Magic Spiritual Space.
At that very moment, Alexander fell to his knees on the ground, as his body shook violently as if his
internal organs were trying to come out. His face and lips were turning a worrying shade of blue, and
even though he didn't spit out blood, the spiritual power in his body was in a mess. It was going crazy
and attacking his own body.
"Chief Alexander?!" Seeing this, Geoffrey was stunned, because he never thought that Alexander
would have been injured.
"Damn it! What did you do to me?" Alexander snarled at Rocky. It seemed that he didn't realize he was
injured, as he looked as shocked as those around him. In that last strike against each other, he and
Rocky fought with all their strength, and he felt that Rocky could no longer fight against him.
But after the fight, Alexander felt an intense spiritual power rush into his body, which caused severe
damage to his body. It messed up with the spiritual power inside his body. And now, he felt like his body
was about to shatter if he moved even a little.
"I simply did what you had done to me before," said Rocky, smiling evilly. It turned out that the reason
why he vomited blood just now was not that Alexander injured him. It was because he used the
devouring power of the Holy Dragon Bead to devour Alexander's spiritual power forcefully. At the same
time, he gave the devoured spiritual power back to Alexander. It was a very destructive strategy for
Rocky. Although he defeated the enemy, he also suffered a significant loss. But he won in the end
because Alexander couldn't move for the time being.
In other words, he had defeated a master at the Divine Stage.
When he saw that even Alexander was no match for Rocky, Geoffrey went berserk, and his face turned
different shades of red in his anger.
"Why are you three still standing there? Hurry up and get rid of him! He has no power to fight back
now!" Geoffrey glared furiously at the three masters at the Supernal Stage, as they stood in the
sidelines, hesitating.
When the three Supernal Stage masters heard the order and saw that Rocky seemed weak, they were
slightly relieved.
Rocky must have noticed their complacency, as he called out to them, "Are you sure I don't have the
power to fight back?" He burst into laughter. At the same time, he slowly opened his Magic Spiritual
Space again.
"Do you want to..." Geoffrey's face changed dramatically. He almost forgot that Rocky had a powerful
and mysterious spirit-manipulated beast.
"I'm going to die anyway, so why don't we just die together? If you have guts, go ahead and attack! I
will bring all of us down," Rocky said fiercely.
The three Supernal Stage masters stopped in an instant.
"Go and kill him, now!" Geoffrey shouted furiously at the remaining Heavenly Stage masters, who were
also hesitating. He could not ask Sherman to attack Rocky because the enchanted barrier would
disappear without Sherman's support. If that happened, Rocky would undoubtedly use that opportunity
to hide and escape.
But even though all of them knew that Rocky had no power to fight back, no one dared to challenge
him. They were afraid that he wasn't bluffing. He could be telling the truth that he had some secret
weapon that could kill all of them where they stood. After all, a man who had nothing to lose was the
most dangerous.
At that moment, almost everyone was completely shocked and overwhelmed by Rocky's momentum.
He looked like he didn't even have the strength to tie up a kitten, but he had the aura of a wild and
ferocious beast. To them, it felt like a single step in his direction was all it would take for him to bite
them to death.
After all, he was a terrible man!
Geoffrey felt like the stalemate had gone longer than it should. He had no choice but to put everything
in his own hands, so he called out his mysterious Dark Ghost Shadow. Since no one dared to fight
against Rocky, he would finish the fight by himself. He didn't believe that Rocky was willing to go so far
that he would rather perish together with his enemy. He was most probably lying to save his hide.
In the next moment, Geoffrey turned into a light shadow and rushed to Rocky with his Dark Ghost
Shadow, intending to give the weakened enemy a fatal blow.
Rocky's eyes narrowed. It never occurred to him that Geoffrey would come to fight him in person.
Unfortunately for Geoffrey, the result would be the same regardless of his presence, for Rocky had
already thought of a way out of his current situation. He would let the ancient spiritual beast take him
out of the enchanted barrier set up by Sherman. However, the power of the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast
to control the ancient spiritual beast was limited, and that was why he couldn't use the ancient spiritual
beast to escape from the beginning. Instead, he fought a big battle and even hurt himself and
Alexander. It was a part of his plan since he didn't want to be in danger with a peerless master at the
Divine Stage at his tail. Judging from the current situation, the only people who could chase him were
Sherman and the peerless master at the Divine Stage who worked for Algy.
Just as Rocky was about to summon the ancient spiritual beast through the Dragon-shaped Soul
Beast, an intense spiritual light rushed over them and hit the enchanted barrier. It flashed as several
more spiritual lights fell from the sky and exploded in the air.
Sherman, who was controlling the enchanted barrier, knew that it was about to break, so he had to
withdraw the barrier first.
Almost at the same time, an old figure appeared out of thin air and moved to Rocky's side. He asked
worriedly, "Mr. Rookie, are you all right?"
"Master Lucas, why are you here?" Rocky's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Lucas would come to
save him. Common sense dictated that the Cao Clan would stay as far from him as possible. They
should not get involved in the chaos because of his current identity, or they could be branded as
traitors.
"It's not just me," Lucas replied with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed over, led by Lucilla and Queenie, who was
sitting on Robin's shoulder.
"You..." Rocky was stunned. Words seemed to have failed him, as he looked at his friends.
This was the elite power of the Cao Clan.
"Mr. Rookie!" Lucilla cried out, upset when she saw that he was gravely injured.
"Chief Lucilla, do you want to rebel? I can't believe that you want to cover up for the prince of the Holy
Dragon Empire..." Of course, Geoffrey didn't expect that the people of Cao Clan would have the guts to
meddle in his business. Moreover, so many people had come. This made it impossible for him to kill
Rocky today.
"I've heard about Mr. Rookie's identity from Queenie. And even though he is the prince of the Holy
Dragon Empire, it makes no difference to us. It won't affect our attitude to him. Mr. Rookie has helped
our clan a lot. I don't care what kind of prince he is; I only know that we should repay his kindness and
favor!" Lucilla said seriously.
"Humph! Do you want to ruin the Cao Clan's future for a man?" Geoffrey said coldly.
"Your Royal Highness, Mr. Rookie is my dearest friend, whom I respect greatly. Now that he is in
trouble, I will surely help him," Lucas also added. After all, Lucilla was not the only one who wanted to
help Rocky; all of them did.
The other members of the Cao Clan immediately echoed and expressed their support.
Geoffrey was so furious that his body trembled violently. How could this man be so popular and well-
respected? Even the Cao Clan wanted to protect him regardless of any risk that it could do to their
clan!
