Chapter 588 - 552: Competing with Yama for People, Mysterious Shadow (2nd Update)

Chapter 588: Chapter 552: Competing with Yama for People, Mysterious Shadow (2nd Update)

A suffocating burst of strength surged forward.

It directly blasted the Stephens Family elder who took action, killing him instantly.

Len Hawthorne charged in with rage.

His movements were swift.

Icy winds swept across his face, feeling the oppressive air pulsing with malevolence, as though many sharp blades pierced his heart.

Len Hawthorne went up to check Steve Hawthorne’s breath.

A hoarse, panicked voice reached Chloe Stephens’ ears, causing her to shiver violently.

"Get up!"

He could only grit his teeth and growl at the person on the ground.

Steve Hawthorne coughed up a mouthful of blood, and as he saw Len Hawthorne’s anxious expression, he grabbed his sleeve and said, "Save her... You must save her."

Len Hawthorne clenched his teeth.

He suppressed the malevolence in his eyes.

"Only you can save her..."

"Save her."

Steve Hawthorne desperately clung to his last breath.

A slender, cold, white hand stopped his stiff movements. The girl spoke in a cold and clear voice, "I can try."

"Chloe..."

Chloe Stephens pushed him away, sealing Steve Hawthorne’s acupoints with silver needles.

She looked towards the Taylor Family’s direction, "Evan Taylor."

Evan Taylor came over immediately, "Are you thinking of using that move? But that will consume your lifespan."

"What I lack the least, is lifespan."

Chloe Stephens didn’t care.

All she knew was that she couldn’t bear to see Len Hawthorne’s panicked look.

"No," he grabbed Chloe Stephens’ hand to stop her movements, and Len Hawthorne looked at her solemnly, "We can’t take risks with your life."

"He’s right, you cannot risk your own life," Evan Taylor also advised worriedly.

In the next second, Chloe Stephens pressed down on the secret imprints, activating the silver needles and strength simultaneously. She looked at Len Hawthorne, "Defend, or I will be destroyed along with my soul."

Len Hawthorne’s handsome face paled, and even greater panic filled his heart, "Chloe, stop."

"It’s too late," Chloe snapped, "Defend!"

Len Hawthorne gritted his teeth and suddenly strode forward, his gaze coldly sweeping over everyone, "Block everyone, no one is allowed to leave."

As soon as Len Hawthorne’s words fell, he suddenly struck the ground with his palm, activating the large-scale array method in the old public faction site, the Binding Array!

Blake Watsons had just taken a few steps forward when he found that he couldn’t leave. Trying to destroy the array, he made another astonishing discovery.

On the periphery, layers of white barriers enveloped them.

His face changed dramatically!

Who set this barrier?!

The final barrier wrapped around the central area. As the central array activated and the barriers were put in place, what was happening in the central field was invisible, despite being right in front of their eyes.

Only those trapped in the central field could see the bizarre situation before them.

Outside, all one could see was a mist floating by, covering all sight.

"What’s going on?!"

Albert Webb asked Emily Lynch.

Emily Lynch looked at Old Lynch, who frowned, "It’s a barrier."

A different barrier.

Several families standing together heard Old Lynch’s words and felt their hearts sink.

Who exactly set up this eerie barrier?

Three layers outside, three layers inside.

They had never seen this kind of overlapping barrier before.

Allen Godfrey raised his hand to touch the barrier, trying to break through the obstruction, but found it impossible to break.

With his cultivation, he should have been able to shake the barrier.

However.

Now he was genuinely trapped here.

"Meow."

The black cat suddenly appeared beside Chloe Stephens and anxiously circled her.

"Meow."

It was genuinely anxious, even touching Chloe with its paw.

Chloe Stephens’ pupils flickered with a glass-like, shallow purple light.

Evan Taylor hurriedly assisted.

"What is this?"

The Slaughter Squad and the Stephens Family members only noticed the intricate patterns underneath Steve Hawthorne, who was lying down. The patterns looked like Sanskrit but were not.

Chloe Stephens tried to compete with the Yama King for a person’s life.

"Meow."

The black cat jumped to Austin Godfrey’s side, meowing anxiously.

Austin Godfrey looked at Chloe Stephens in astonishment and said to Len Hawthorne, "We must stop her. She’s using her own power to exchange for a life."

Steve Hawthorne wasn’t worth it.

Len Hawthorne’s eyes turned crimson and he clenched his fists, speaking in a deep voice, "We can’t interrupt."

There was no way to stop Chloe Stephens once she had taken action.

He couldn’t predict the consequences of interrupting her.

Austin Godfrey frowned, revealing some anger towards Len Hawthorne.

If Len didn’t do it, Austin would.

Austin Godfrey stepped forward and said solemnly, "Chloe Stephens, you must stop or you’ll backlash against yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Austin Godfrey reached out to interrupt Chloe Stephens.

A hand struck his arm, causing numbing pain.

Len Hawthorne stood grimly in front of Chloe Stephens, staring at Austin: "What are you doing?"

"Preventing her from harming herself."

"You’re harming her," Len Hawthorne said coldly.

"You’re the one harming her," Austin Godfrey replied, his tone tinged with anger.

"Meow."

The black cat watched the scene, growing more anxious.

No one could help now.

Helping either one would be wrong.

Len Hawthorne and Austin Godfrey argued and began to clash on the spot.

As Chloe Stephens and Evan Taylor were trying to save someone, they got in the way. If Chloe wasn’t so occupied, she would have given both of them a slap to wake them up.

"Team Hawthorne, something’s wrong outside. It seems like something is breaking the barrier," a team member shouted at Len Hawthorne.

Len Hawthorne and Austin Godfrey stopped fighting and looked at Chloe Stephens for the first time.

Chloe Stephens was urging silver needles, combining array methods to treat the dying Steve Hawthorne, creating a scene that seemed to defy fate.

Seeing Chloe’s face becoming paler and paler, Len Hawthorne realized that Chloe was using not only ancient cultivator power but also witchcraft power!

She was using everything she could.

"Chloe," Len Hawthorne couldn’t help but call out, suppressing his tremulous emotions.

Chloe pursed her lips.

It was still not enough.

She should have taken back the power of the Divinity Temple. As long as she reached that level, she could save people like before.

Now, doing this kind of thing, competing with Yama King for lives, was still quite difficult.

"Watch her."

Len Hawthorne handed Chloe over to Austin Godfrey.

He walked through the barrier and came out.

Len Hawthorne saw that all the people outside the periphery had fallen to the ground. He could feel that the people lying on the ground were still breathing.

The outermost barrier had been torn apart.

An eerie figure appeared silently behind Len Hawthorne.

An icy onslaught swept over and Len couldn’t dodge it.

As his body took the blow, crashing into the barrier, Len looked around with a solemn expression, trying to capture the silent shadow.

The fact that this man could bring down several ancient martial clans was enough to show how high his cultivation was.

Len saw the dark shadow flashing past and rushed inside.

He followed and in a moment, he stood in front of Chloe Stephens again.

Len was hit again, and the blow was about to fall on Chloe Stephens. Austin Godfrey reacted swiftly, reaching out to block the flying Len from hitting Chloe.

But even he was pushed back by the impact.

Chloe’s breath faltered, and she suddenly stopped.

At the same time, the silver needles were pulled out of Steve Hawthorne’s body, Chloe disbanded the witch formation, struck Evan Taylor and rushed to the other side.

Len twisted in midair while launching himself out with a palm on Austin’s shoulder, caught Chloe in a backward roll, then stood up and supported the pale-faced Chloe.

"Chloe."

Len Hawthorne cried anxiously.

Chloe looked at Steve Hawthorne, who was beyond saving: "I’m sorry, I can’t save him."

Nor could she save Kiera Herrington.
