Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 2656
Chapter 2656: Chapter 2656: The Shadow
With the sword in Hawthorne’s hand lowered,
Julius Reed’s emerald scepter sword directly slashed through his body.
Bang!
Hawthorne collapsed instantly.
But that sword seemed to be a mechanism.
Activated the last line of defense within the great hall.
If Julius Reed had chosen to strike at Hawthorne from the start, everything would have ended long ago.
Hawthorne would have quickly absorbed those remaining souls, his power suddenly surging.
But now, he found himself alone.
He felt helpless.
The only way to stop Seven Gem Slope was to destroy this place.
It was also the last line of defense for the Hawthorne family.
As the sword blade was thrust into the ground beneath.
The great hall began to tremble.
The walls, without Seven Gem Slope even passing through, suddenly erupted with a tremendous force!
Like a bullet chambered, ready to shoot at any moment!
The remaining power in Hawthorne’s body flowed entirely into the formation, forcibly activating it!
“Quick, go!” Julius Reed grabbed Seven Gem Slope, disregarding the differences between men and women, and swiftly ran outside.
As they passed by the wall, the patterns on it rapidly appeared!
A golden dragon crawled directly out of the wall.
Go!
Julius Reed pushed forward with both hands!
The power within him surged out rapidly!
The heartbeat of the Heart of God nearly reached its limit!
The spiritual power previously absorbed began to flow wildly.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar.
Julius Reed bore the brunt of the golden dragon’s impact.
It was in this brief moment that a powerful force erupted around Julius Reed.
The Shadow of God rose behind him.
Julius Reed and the Shadow of God sandwiched Quella Radcliffe in between.
The Shadow of God and Julius Reed executed the same moves, using the same techniques.
Utilizing spiritual power in the same way.
Seven Gem Slope seized the opportunity and dashed out directly.
But Julius Reed and the Shadow of God were caught between huge opposing forces on both sides, unable to move.
The spiritual power grew increasingly stronger.
Julius Reed was almost getting crushed.
Seven Gem Slope chose to return again.
“Stop!” The True Monarch of Nine Nether reacted swiftly, blocking Quella Radcliffe: “Don’t mess things up!”
“What did you say!” Seven Gem Slope was furious.
She couldn’t accept seeing Julius Reed on the verge of death!
In her heart, she looked down on men.
Letting a man die for her, what kind of sense does that make?
Surviving like that is worse than dying!
“He’s risking his life to save you, no matter his fate, you must live!” The True Monarch of Nine Nether shouted angrily, his eyes red: “You’re such an idiot!”
“You!” Seven Gem Slope had never been scolded like this before, she calmed down and said, “I am Seven Gem Slope.”
Forgotten.
She was now in Quella Radcliffe’s body.
This junior probably didn’t recognize her.
If recognized, he definitely wouldn’t dare talk to her like this.
Even Jessica treated her with great respect.
Would an outsider dare to wish for death?
“You’re Seven Gem Slope?” The True Monarch of Nine Nether was very surprised.
He thought the person in front of him was Quella Radcliffe, or another personality of Quella Radcliffe.
How could Seven Gem Slope now become Quella Radcliffe?
Things were a bit chaotic, but clearly, it wasn’t the time to fuss over these details.
“Even if you are Seven Gem Slope, going now would just add to Julius Reed’s troubles! He saved you, and you want to get him killed?”
The True Monarch of Nine Nether continued angrily: “Since you are Seven Gem Slope, how can you act like a little girl without understanding reason?”
“Are you lecturing me?” Seven Gem Slope gritted her teeth and said.
“No. Ancestor, he… he’s probably just anxious, Julius Reed is his good friend.”
Jessica quickly stepped in to mediate and explained: “Ancestor, please calm down.”
A person’s temperament cannot be faked.
Seven Gem Slope and Quella Radcliffe had completely different temperaments.
So Jessica knew that the person in front of her was indeed her ancestor, Seven Gem Slope.
And not the clueless Quella Radcliffe.
“So, am I supposed to just watch him die?” Seven Gem Slope sighed helplessly: “I can’t bear it.”
“He won’t die.” The True Monarch of Nine Nether reassured her confidently: “Although I haven’t known him for long, I understand him well enough. A person like him won’t easily die.”
Julius Reed was very smart.
And not the type to get impulsive easily.
He must have a reason for his actions.
“Fine, I’ll wait.”
Seven Gem Slope watched Julius Reed in the great hall, her hands clenched into tight fists.
But suddenly, she had an inexplicable thought.
Was this…
The first man willing to die for her?
Indeed, when someone is handsome and exceptionally skilled, they naturally appear appealing to others.
“Damn it, what am I thinking.” Seven Gem Slope shook her head and began to think about how to save Julius Reed.
The two strong forces pressed Julius Reed and the Shadow of God together.
Moreover, the power kept increasing.
Julius Reed was in extreme pain.
If it weren’t for his divine physique and the previous spiritual power boost,
There would have been no way to resist this force.
But now, he could hold on!
The distance between the Shadow of God and Julius Reed began at about half a meter, rapidly compressing!
Getting smaller and smaller!
Until finally, they almost overlapped.
Those outside held their breath in fear.
Worried Julius Reed would get crushed.
This was the critical moment.
“Hawthorne’s spiritual power is limited, as long as he can endure, it will be over.” Seven Gem Slope silently prayed.
Usually, she disdained praying.
But when facing such situations, she realized it was the best option.
Apart from that, she was powerless.
Indeed, Hawthorne’s power gradually dissipated.
The distance finally began to loosen.
“That’s great.” Seven Gem Slope said, feeling slightly excited.
She didn’t want Julius Reed to die.
But at this moment, Julius Reed made a decision no one expected.
He unleashed his own power, channeling it into the formation!
Boom!
The formation surged violently once more!
The massive pressure pressed him and his shadow together!
“Are you crazy!”
Seven Gem Slope exclaimed.
This was suicidal!
If Julius Reed could hang on a bit longer, he might have gotten out.
But now…
What was he doing!
“I get it!” The eyes of the True Monarch of Nine Nether were filled with fervor: “He wants to merge himself with his shadow!”
“What! Madman!” Seven Gem Slope was in disbelief.
But indeed, without this reason, it was impossible to explain what Julius Reed intended to do.
As the power relentlessly pressed down,
The shadow and the man finally fused together.
Julius Reed opened his eyes and pushed forward with both hands!
The wall collapsed with a roar.
In the astonished eyes of the three, Julius Reed exhaustedly emerged.
Previously, the Shadow of God was never really under his control.
Now, leveraging the formation, he reformed the Shadow of God.
Making it his true shadow.
Everything was perfect.
“Lend me some clothes?” Julius Reed extended his hand.
“Okay! Okay!” The True Monarch of Nine Nether took off his clothes and handed them to Julius Reed.
“I’ve sensed a little problem.”
Julius Reed dressed and turned to survey the second building within the mansion.
“Could the library here have some records?”
