The Medallion

Chapter 1072 Alston's Plan

"The Dragon Spirit Mark… He's… He's a royal spirit manipulator!" someone shouted immediately.

The moment everyone felt dumbfounded, a dark purple vortex immediately materialized in Rocky's left palm. It hovered in the air before it began to suck everything near it instantly, including the five spiritual martial arts moves that were aimed at Rocky.

The crowd was stunned. They had no clue as to what exact spiritual martial arts conjured the vortex and devoured the other spiritual martial arts summoned by the five masters of the premium grade of the Supernal Stage.

Elder Duke was amazed when he saw that Rocky's ability was similar to that of the mysterious man from the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land. His face turned as pale as a ghost upon his realization. Then he shouted, "Jason, get out of there!"

However, Jason only wanted to take revenge on Rocky. And at the moment, the wind blade was already very close to Rocky, so he had no reason to stop. He waved the wind blade to Rocky without hesitation.

Suddenly, a powerful Evil Flame surged through and consumed Rocky's entire left arm. He grabbed the hand Jason used to swing the wind blade towards him, stopping it as it came within an inch from his neck.

Then, the five spiritual martial arts moves that were absorbed earlier by Rocky's vortex shot out of his flaming arm towards Jason. Everyone was in shock. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Despite being a peerless master of the Divine Stage, Jason's strength was only in the first grade. Therefore, Rocky's oncoming attack from such a short distance would certainly injure him greatly.

A terrified Jason gathered all of his spiritual power to shield himself. However, the five moves Rocky had absorbed earlier now attacked his source of spiritual power, causing it to dissipate instantly. Once Rocky opened his eyes, the Evil Flame on his arm surged anew. Various flame snakes flew off of it which jerked forward to attack Jason.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. A considerable amount of spiritual power was required to attack so violently and instantly. Rocky's spiritual power appeared to be unlimited.

Jason never expected such spiritual power to burst out of Rocky. Any regret he had at that moment was too late.

In the blink of an eye, Jason's entire body was burned by the flame snakes born of the Evil Flame. He let out a ghastly scream as he was burned to ashes that were blown away in the wind.

The crowd was flabbergasted!

Under the watchful eyes of the public, a peerless master of the Divine Stage was killed in an instant by Rocky. Although the aura he gave off was similar to only that of one from the premium grade of the Supernal Stage, it was nevertheless astonishing!

Of course, if Jason hadn't underestimated his enemy, Rocky wouldn't have gotten a good chance at killing him.

Rocky's incredible strength shocked everyone in attendance.

This included the numerous peerless masters of the Divine Stage. Elvis was aware of Rocky's true identity and his hidden strength. However, he never thought he'd get to witness him slaughter a peerless master of the Divine Stage in a single move!

"Shall we continue this fight?" Rocky asked. By then, he had already put away the Evil Flame and returned to his original state. Now he looked like an ordinary person, albeit the arrogant spirit he continued to exude.

The five masters of the premium grade of the Supernal Stage that surrounded Rocky earlier quickly retreated and dared not to get any closer to him.

Elder Duke was still in shock. Although he was still uncertain if Rocky was the mysterious man who snatched the spiritual treasure from them in the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land, he was certain that Rocky would be a challenge to deal with. He managed to kill Jason in one move, so he had no idea what other tricks were up his sleeve.

Elder Duke not only lost a peerless master of the Divine Stage but he and the royal family's representatives he led also lost face.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves as they waited for what the elder would do next as if they were waiting for the next scene in a show to begin.

This irked Elder Duke to the extreme. Although he could fight, he was still slightly terrified of Rocky. Plus, he had already lost the respect of the people. If he chose to fight, it would damage the royal family's reputation even more. So, he and the five masters of the premium grade of the Supernal Stage chose to leave.

Once they left, the crowd burst with cheering as if to vent out all their pent up hatred.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, Rocky disappeared as well along with Ken and Robin. The crowd remained curious as to who he was exactly.

In his hall, Alston was furious upon knowing that Elder Duke and his followers not only lost the competition but lost a peerless master of the Divine Stage as well that the entire hall was a complete mess.

"Find out who killed Jason, now! How dare he kill my people in public. Does he even know who I am?" Alston exclaimed viciously.

"Your Majesty, now is not the right time to be furious. The Ji Clan has proven to be tough, so it's time we use our last resort," Priest Dean applied, cupping his hands.

"And what exactly is our last resort?" Alston asked with a venomous tone as he glared at the priest.

"Doesn't Elvis have a son in the Rime Army?" Priest Dean reminded.

"You mean..." Alston's eyes darkened.

"Even if we can't control the Ji Clan, we can certainly remind them to not mess with us…unless Elvis wants his son dead," the sly priest insinuated.

"Excellent idea. Send someone to work on it. If I do this, I'll certainly fall out of the Ji Clan's good graces. But it won't matter as long as they choose not to team up with Marcia. Once I subdue the Ximen Clan, I'll deal with her," Alston declared coldheartedly.

"The Ximen Clan's centennial ceremony is in ten days. That is when we'll put the plan into action," Priest Dean replied.

"Send the prepared betrothal presents to the Ximen Clan in five days and inform them that I propose to marry Shirley. Also, announce that I'll visit them in person at the centennial ceremony," Alston ordered with his cunning smile.
