The man tumbled through the air for several meters before crashing heavily onto the ground, his face immediately swelling up, his eyes swollen to mere slits, presenting a pitiful sight.
The cold and beautiful woman’s face changed, she flicked her wrist, and a small bronze bell appeared, hovering above her head. A blue aura barrier instantly enveloped her, shining with spirit light, with runes flowing on it.
After preparing her defenses, the woman threw out a square bronze seal.
The bronze seal enlarged in midair and smashed toward Carson Flores with overwhelming momentum.
Carson, without drawing his sword, stretched out his hands to meet the bronze seal. Simultaneously, countless strands of sword qi burst out from every Sword Bone and struck the bronze seal in an instant.
The downward force of the bronze seal was cleanly diminished, and Carson effortlessly held up the bronze seal and charged toward the cold and beautiful woman with it.
The cold and beautiful woman was shocked, unable to believe that her own attack had been caught barehanded by her opponent.
Was this man born with divine strength?
The cold and beautiful woman tried to control the bronze seal to fly again but discovered, to her horror, that it was firmly grasped by the man’s hands and couldn’t take off.
In that moment of hesitation, Carson had already rushed in front of the cold and beautiful woman, lifting the bronze seal and smashing it down with a thunderous sound.
Carson’s arms swung full circle, activating all sixty-four Sword Bones with indomitable force.
The runes flowing on the aura barrier shattered in large numbers, and the spirit light dimmed.
Carson raised the bronze seal again and smashed it down once more.
The runes completely broke apart, the aura barrier shattered in an instant, and the bronze seal heavily smashed onto the cold and beautiful woman.
The woman spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, several bones broken, as she was completely embedded into the ground by Carson’s blow.
Naturally, Carson recognized that this cold and beautiful woman was the leader of the three, the one who was trying to force Lucy Frost to surrender the cave heaven, while the other two were merely her minions.
The woman’s face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror.
She couldn’t understand; Westin Flores’s son was supposed to have stayed in the Mortal Realm, wasn’t he just a normal man?
Considering the age, Carson should be under thirty years old. How could a normal man raised in the Mortal Realm possess such terrifying strength?
She was an Inner Sect Disciple of one of the top ten Cave Heavens of Mount Kahdas, and she was defeated by a man from the Mortal Realm?
How did he cultivate, and what encounters had he had?
Carson snorted coldly, casually smashing the bronze seal into the ground where it buried deep: "With such meager skills, you dare to fight others for a cave dwelling, what a joke."
The cold and beautiful woman gritted her teeth: "If you dare, then don’t run!"
Carson spoke coldly, "I won’t run. You want to find someone, I’ll wait for you."
Carson was truly fearless.
His current identity was that of the Direct Disciple of Nutwood Mountain’s Cave Master, and since he was in the right in this matter, why should he be afraid?
Even if this was Mount Kahdas, even if these people intended to bully him with their might, at worst they would just drive him away. Could they actually kill him?
No fear—bring on the fight!
Carson dared to bet that if he had revealed his identity just now, not one of those three would dare to lay a hand on him!
The man and woman hurried over, pulling the cold and beautiful woman from the pit like pulling up a radish, retrieved the bronze seal, and fled in disarray.
The forest quieted down suddenly.
Carson turned around, gazing at Lucy Frost with red-rimmed eyes, hesitated, then called out: "Mom!"
Lucy’s tears streamed down instantly, as she suddenly covered her face with her hands, crying bitterly.
"I’m sorry! I’m not a qualified mother..."
Carson stepped forward and extended his hand, gently hugging Lucy Frost.
Her selfless act of shielding him had dispelled all his worries and hesitation.
"It’s okay, Master has taken good care of me. I know you were being hunted by Gunner Tate’s men back then and also know that Miss Tang rescued you, bringing both of you severely wounded back to Mount Kahdas. I know you left me with no choice, I’ve never blamed you..."
Lucy suddenly came to her senses, wiped her tears, and said: "How did you get here? The woman you just fought is the niece of the Heaven’s Right Peak Elder Qi Hai; he is someone you can’t afford to provoke. You should leave now before they come after you, quickly get out of Mount Kahdas. As long as you aren’t caught after leaving Mount Kahdas, they can’t do anything to you."
Carson reassured her: "Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare do anything to me. My current identity is the fourth Direct Disciple of Nutwood’s Cave Master Daxton Campbell. I came here on my master’s orders to deliver a message to the Master of the Mount Kahdas Cave."
Lucy’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Carson: "Nutwood Mountain, the Heaven’s Prophecy jade?"
Carson nodded: "Yes, it’s thanks to that piece of Heaven’s Prophecy jade that I was able to enter Nutwood Mountain. I happened to encounter the Master Campbell who took me in as a disciple. Before that, he only had three disciples, and I was the fourth. Although Nutwood Mountain might not compare to Mount Kahdas, in terms of status, let’s not talk about that woman just now. Even if her uncle himself came here, he might not dare to do anything to me..."
