The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 2506: Strike While He’s Down, Take His Life!
As Flowing Cloud and the others descended, five violent auras filled the heavens and earth.
Flowing Cloud targeted Perrin Rhodes, while the other four paired off and locked on to their respective opponents.
As for Emerion Yarwood, nobody paid him any attention.
He was Floating Cloud’s opponent.
Emerion Yarwood’s pupils contracted, his face changed drastically.
He never expected that Floating Cloud would be so powerful, yet still so cautious, bringing along as many as five Superior Grade Great Land Primordial Immortals!
Six Superior Grade Great Land Primordial Immortals, this terrifying combat strength was already enough to sweep through most Immortal Domains sects.
Having founded the Black Demon Sect, recruiting and absorbing various members, in the end, counting himself, there were only five Superior Grade Great Land Primordial Immortals, yet now Floating Cloud casually summoned six!
Comparison among people can be deadly!
Emerion Yarwood finally understood why Floating Cloud and the others watched him rescue his son without saying a word.
Their target was him!
His son was merely bait!
As long as he appeared, his son’s little bit of strength mattered not whether he lived or died!
Previously, he only knew Carson Flores had summoned his master, who was formidable, but exactly who he was, Emerion didn’t know, so he rushed to the scene to save his son and prepared to ambush and retaliate against the opponent.
But upon meeting, he realized this man was Floating Cloud of the Dragon Mountain Sect. As he said, the elder Branthor Kirby, along with many disciples, had died, and as Sect Hierarch, he had to give the followers an explanation.
He decided to act according to the original plan; if he couldn’t kill Floating Cloud, he would kill Carson Flores!
As long as he eliminated Carson Flores, he would have provided an explanation for everyone.
He thought he had set a trap, but in the end, he found he was merely a fool delivering himself.
"Run!"
Emerion Yarwood shouted angrily as his body soared, at the same time, he pointed a finger towards Carson Flores from afar.
Floating Cloud flickered in appearance, blocking the finger in front of Carson Flores.
With this moment’s delay, Emerion Yarwood had already shot out swiftly, trying to escape into the distance.
At the same time, Perrin Rhodes and the other three also fled in different directions, with Flowing Cloud and others closely pursuing them.
Floating Cloud chased after Emerion Yarwood, and in the valley, only Carson Flores was left.
Carson Flores leisurely sat back in the chair, gazing at the dark night, quietly waiting.
Fishing had succeeded; now he watched to see if he could hook the big fish.
Carson Flores waited until dawn.
Everyone returned one after another, bearing both good and bad news.
Flowing Cloud had killed Perrin Rhodes, with one Black Demon Sect elder dead and another escaping. The one who fled used a Forbidden Technique, was severely injured, feared needing a hundred years or more to recover.
Everyone waited for a little half-day longer, and Floating Cloud also returned.
"How did it go, Master, did you catch him?"
Floating Cloud looked somewhat fatigued: "I injured him, but he managed to escape, the fellow is indeed very strong."
Carson Flores smiled: "Then should we launch the second phase of the operation?"
Floating Cloud nodded: "While he’s sick, claim his life, let’s go!"
Floating Cloud produced a Talisman, tearing it open, a column of smoke appeared in the air, stretching and bending towards a direction.
"This way, chase!"
Everyone gathered together, pursuing in the direction indicated by the smoke pillar.
...
Over the sea, on a certain desolate island.
Emerion Yarwood, covered in blood, flew from the sea, suddenly diving into the island’s mountains, disappearing in an instant.
This place was known as Black Demon Island, the headquarters of the Black Demon Sect.
Black Demon Island had no ordinary people, just a truly desolate island, not very large in area, unremarkable among the countless islands across the vast ocean, where the Black Demon Sect hid.
Though the Black Demon Sect bore the name of a sect, in truth, it operated as a den of thieves—pillaging, murdering, and plundering.
The sect’s followers weren’t many, but most were quite powerful, considering in such a place, the weak wouldn’t survive.
Emerion Yarwood, with a ghastly pale face, landed before the great hall, staggering upon touching down, spitting out a mouthful of blood, almost collapsing.
Emerion Yarwood wiped away the blood from his mouth, his eyes filled with a barely contained lingering fear.
That fellow was truly formidable, I wasn’t a match for him, but fortunately, I managed to escape!
I wonder if the three elders managed to get away!
Emerion Yarwood returned to his residence, consumed an elixir for healing, and began cultivation practice to tend to his injuries.
Half a day later, Emerion Yarwood received reports from the followers; Arveth Reid had returned, but severely injured!
Emerion Yarwood’s heart sank, hurriedly going to visit. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Emerion Yarwood was gravely hurt, Arveth Reid was hurt even more, even with top-grade elixirs, recovery would likely take over a hundred years.
"Elder Arveth, it’s my oversight in this matter, anyway, you should heal first; we’ll discuss these matters later."
Just as Arveth Reid left, footsteps sounded at the door.
Xyrella Yarwood appeared, his eyes brightened when he saw Emerion Yarwood, hurrying towards Carson Flores: "Dad, you returned home faster than I did, has Floating Cloud died?"
Emerion Yarwood, with a stern face: "Floating Cloud isn’t dead."
Xyrella Yarwood showed a bit of disappointment: "Floating Cloud escaped? Given his strong abilities, it’s tough to capture him. Then what about Carson Flores, his skills are so low, he definitely couldn’t escape, surely he’s dead?"
