Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: I Owe You More and More Now

The Emperor Seal was like the hammer of a sky god, repeatedly smashing down upon the huge wheel of blades, sparking flames in every direction, with a sound that shook the wilderness.

Although Vivian Cobb had turned herself into a Great Witch, she had done so hastily and with great difficulty, and the combat power she had as a newly made Great Witch was somewhat lacking.

Vivian had thought that her power would be sufficient—after all, one of them was at the Initial Stage of Great Demon and the other had just reached the Divinity Transformation Realm. But once again, she miscalculated.

Carson Flores actually knew the Berserk Art of the Jackson Family!

Tenfold combat power!

In his berserk state, Carson’s combat power was not the least inferior to her subpar Great Demon might.

With every strike of the Emperor Seal, she felt like a piece of red-hot iron on an anvil being hammered ferociously, sparks flying everywhere.

Her wheel of blades was crafted from superb materials and counted as a top-tier magical treasure, yet it simply couldn’t withstand the relentless pounding from the Emperor Seal, an unparalleled magical treasure.

"Crack!"

A faint sound of fracturing echoed as the first crack appeared on the wheel of blades.

As the Emperor Seal struck again, the crack spread like a spiderweb, rapidly covering the entire weapon.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The Emperor Seal fell once more, shattering the wheel of blades into the sky.

Vivian extended a finger, sending a Flying Dagger shooting towards Carson, piercing through the Xuanwu Barrier and aiming straight for him.

Sword Qi surged, whittling away the force of the Flying Dagger, and just as it was about to stab Carson, he caught it with a backhanded grab, squeezing it firmly in his grasp.

The Flying Dagger struggled violently in Carson’s hand, like a lively fish thrashing about, but his grip was like iron pincers. Although the Dagger sliced open the flesh of his hand, it could not cut through his bones.

Vivian was infuriated. Carson was all steel and iron—an incredibly tough opponent.

That sudden strike earlier—if it weren’t for Carson’s interference, Lilianna Norman would’ve been either dead or severely injured, and Vivian could have taken her out in an instant.

Carson’s triple-layered defense made even the most potent attacks seem somewhat ineffectual.

The Xuanwu Barrier, three-feet Sword Qi, a body of steel and iron...

With the wheel of blades destroyed and the Flying Dagger under control, Vivian struggled to fend off both Carson and the frenzied attacks of the Tide of the Azure Sea, causing her to panic.

The Emperor Seal descended from the sky once again.

"Boom!"

Vivian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the golden light in her eyes dimming instantly, her complexion pale as paper.

Waves swept in like serpents, wrapping around her legs and rising to her waist.

Desperate and with no other choice, Vivian abandoned her body, her Primordial Spirit emerging in a flash of light and fleeing swiftly.

"Clang!"

Carson, prepared for this, immediately set the Emperor Seal into motion. It emitted a resounding noise that pierced the heavens like the ringing of a grand bell, majestic and vast.

"Ah!"

Vivian screamed in agony as her Primordial Spirit shattered bit by bit.

"No!"

In terror, Vivian shouted, "Spare my life, and I will do anything you ask..."

The deep blue waves swept over, pulling Vivian’s near-shattered Primordial Spirit into the depths of the sea, never to be seen again.

Carson let out a sigh of relief, his knees buckling, and he fell towards the ground below.

The unexpected slash earlier had almost claimed his life. Although he had the Life Essence Pearl, his wounds had healed, but he was still significantly weakened. After sustaining the effects of the Berserk Art during the furious battle for so long, he could hardly hold on.

If it weren’t for the dire situation, why would he have fought so recklessly, sustaining severe injuries, just to forcibly seize that powerful Flying Dagger?

He had truly fought with all he had.

Fortunately, since Vivian’s transformation was done in haste, the increase in her power was limited, and in the end, she fell to the might of the Berserk Art.

Lilianna Norman flashed forward, catching Carson from below in a princess hold.

Carson leaned into Lilianna’s embrace as they made contact without any barriers. Even though Carson was extremely weak at the moment, he couldn’t help feeling a bit odd.

"How badly are you injured?"

Carson replied weakly, "The aftereffects of the Berserk Art—I won’t be able to do anything for at least a few days. You’ll have to cover for me during that time..."

Lilianna nodded, "Let’s find a place to hide until the Secret Realm closes."

Lilianna flew with Carson in her arms, only to discover that five enormous Array Flags had encircled and sealed off the entire area.

The Five Elements Universe Flag.

Vivian was dead, and with no master to command them, the power of the Five Elements Universe Flags significantly waned. Lilianna easily broke them and collected the flags.

Lilianna carried Carson like this, flying low in the night sky. After distancing themselves by over a hundred li, they finally hid in a secluded valley.

All the while, Lilianna held Carson, prompting self-deprecating thoughts from him about his own "fragile and helpless" state.

Last time, it was he who had carried Lilianna as they fled for their lives—now the roles were reversed.

In the valley, Lilianna set Carson down and asked with concern, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Carson blinked, "Just put me on a recliner; it’s more comfortable to lie down than to sit."

Lilianna carefully placed Carson on the recliner, her gaze complex, "I owe you more and more. You’ve saved me yet again..."
