Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: What’s the Use of a Face, Compared to a Powerful Magical Treasure?

Demetrius Hester’s eyes turned red, for he had already cast aside all shame.

What use was face?

Could it compare to such a formidable magical treasure?

Powerful magical treasures were the most tangible assets, much more important than any face — maybe it was an incredible Immortal Artifact.

Noticing that the others from the Sects had fallen silent, Demetrius Hester immediately breathed a sigh of relief and flew in front of Carson Flores, saying coldly, "Hand it over, and I can spare your life; otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Carson Flores chuckled. "The old guy has completely abandoned any pretense of decency, huh? Preparing to rob me outright, are we? What, are you bullying me because you think Nutwood Mountain has no one to stand up for it?"

A cold and murderous look flashed in Demetrius Hester’s eyes.

If I kill you, won’t that mean nobody will know?

Seeing the expression in Demetrius Hester’s eyes, Carson Flores understood his intent and laughed, "What, preparing to kill someone to seal their lips?"

Demetrius Hester was slightly startled, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

This youth had already figured out his intention to kill and silence him, yet he was so calm?

He hadn’t run away or panicked; he even dared to mock him?

Where did his confidence come from?

Where there’s something strange, there must be a demon somewhere!

With discerning eyes, Demetrius Hester scrutinized Carson Flores, his mind racing, not rushing to make a move. He knew that once he struck, the matter would be set in stone.

Either he would kill him today, secretly and without anyone’s knowledge, or the boy would escape, cementing a deadly feud, and then he might face the wrath of Nutwood Mountain.

Carson Flores was not in a hurry either, for he had already advanced to Divinity Transformation, possessing the terrifying Blood Mist, the Ground Shrinking Technique, and the Emperor Seal — he was not afraid.

If he couldn’t beat him, then he would simply run.

With the Emperor Seal in hand, he didn’t believe anyone could enact a Spatial Lockdown that would leave him with no escape. Of course, if he encountered something like Jorge Gross’s World Within the Bowl, it would still be a headache for Carson Flores.

"Then come on, but let me give you fair warning, I won’t be bullied so easily. You may be a Hollow Void Practitioner, but that doesn’t mean you can kill me — you might even get killed by me..."

Demetrius Hester’s brow twitched violently. Kill him?

A Divinity Transformation wanting to kill a Hollow Void Practitioner?

To everyone else, it perhaps sounded like a joke because to them, it was an impossibility.

A Hollow Void killing a Divinity Transformation was just a matter of a punch, maybe even a single fingertip.

How could a Divinity Transformation kill a Hollow Void?

By using their imagination?

Even though you possess the Water-Fire Mirror, which seems to be quite potent, able to break through attacks from those at the same cultivation level as Divinity Transformation, but could that compare with the Hollow Void? Isn’t this just a pipedream in broad daylight?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Demetrius Hester felt something was off, but he ultimately chose to make his move.

As a Hollow Void Practitioner, if he got scared by a Divinity Transformation, how could he face others after this?

Most importantly, if he didn’t make a move, what about the others?

There were other Hollow Void Practitioners here, all eager to strike.

A magical treasure used by an Immortal, with just a fragment causing a marvel such as the Flame Glacier for tens of thousands of years — how formidable might the full magical treasure be?

"You’re not old, but you sure talk big. Fine, let’s see what you’ve got."

Demetrius Hester wasted no more words and directly summoned his Flying Sword, slashing towards Carson Flores.

This strike was grand and mighty, as if it aimed to cleave the heavens and earth.

Carson Flores likewise wanted to test the full power of the repaired Water-Fire Mirror; with a flip to the water realm, endless cold instantly spewed forth.

The blueish cold wrapped around Demetrius Hester’s Flying Sword in an instant.

The sword’s light flickered and soon dimmed, as a thick layer of Profound Ice formed on it, significantly weakening the spiritual connection between Demetrius Hester and his Flying Sword.

It was like remotely controlling a missile, but suddenly, a chilling cold sweeps in, instantly wrapping the missile in a thick layer of ice, hampering the signal transmission and causing difficulty in control.

While the Flying Sword still cleaved towards Carson Flores, its power was greatly diminished.

Carson Flores brandished the Three Provinces Sword, hitting the Flying Sword directly and sending it flying aside.

Carson Flores felt secretly exhilarated inside — the Water-Fire Mirror’s power had actually increased so much it could forcefully freeze a Hollow Void Practitioner’s Flying Sword!

Although it couldn’t completely immobilize it, weakening it enough that he could actually catch it was truly terrifying.

And he was only at the Initial Spirit Transformation Stage!

Demetrius Hester was shocked, but then grew even more excited.

An Immortal Artifact!

Definitely an Immortal Artifact!

A Divinity Transformation was able to fend off his Hollow Void Flying Sword with this — what else could it be if not an Immortal Artifact?

He was determined to obtain this Immortal Artifact today!

With a vicious look in his eyes, Demetrius Hester recalled his Flying Sword, flicked it, and instantly the Profound Ice shattered. He cast down a spell, and the Flying Sword’s light shone brighter than before, its might even more formidable.

However, Carson Flores did not give him another chance to strike. As Demetrius Hester casually recalled his Flying Sword, Carson Flores had already switched to the Fire Mirror. The brightness of flames flickered, and a boundless Fierce Fire instantly spread out, enveloping Demetrius Hester.

Demetrius Hester laughed coldly, "With this, you think to burn me to death? Dream on!"
