LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Chapter 255 – I don’t like swords!



Upon hearing these words, Kiki was taken aback and blurted out, “Even you… can’t stop him?”

Reeds Hale shook her head. “You saw it yourself, my strength is not even equal to that woman beside Jun Chester.”

Kiki was extremely shocked. “No, I refuse to believe!”

Reeds Hale looked at Kiki curiously and frowned. “You seem to be afraid of Jun Chester going on a killing spree! This seems to contradict your real objective!”

Kiki paused, giving Reeds Hale a deep look. “You seem to have guessed my objective!”

Reeds Hale sighed. “We’ve been sisters for years. If I don’t understand your thoughts, how can I be your sister?”

Kiki shuddered. “You don’t blame me?”

Reeds Hale shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t blame you, but I feel your years of scheming will ultimately be in vain! You want to sit on the throne of the Dragon Alliance, so do I, but neither of us are qualified!”

A gloom fell over Kiki’s face.

Reeds Hale looked again at the second floor of the tea house and spoke softly, “Go and see for yourself. Hopefully, Jun Chester will retreat unscathed today.”

Kiki frowned. “What do you mean?”

Reeds Hale paused before replying, “The Avatom Sutra is a big book. Understanding it is one thing, but applying it is another! Besides, the Hale Methods, passed down in my Hale family for a thousand years, no one has reached the third level! But from what Jun Chester said, even those who have reached the ninth level of the Hale Methods are not worthy in his eyes? His words seem a bit too confident!”

Upon hearing this, Kiki’s thoughts became active again. Indeed, the Hale Methods! Reaching the second level would let one dominate the world! The ninth level?

In Kiki’s lifetime, she had never seen anyone who had reached the ninth level of the Hale Methods!

She looked at the main door of the tea room leading to the Medical Conference. Jun Chester’s figure was no longer there.

Jun Chester had stepped out and appeared in the main arena of the Medical Conference.

Naturally, Lyvia and Hugh Garner followed closely behind.

At this moment, the vast underground ten-story area was crowded with noble guests.

Compared to the previous scene, the contrast was stark.

Obviously, the passage to this place was not just the one that Jun Chester had just walked through.

In the vast main arena, in addition to the people from the four major clans of the Dragon Alliance, there were also high-level practitioners from forces all over the world.

Mycintia, Barnsley! The Sanchez! The Rose Shed! Even Maple’s Blue Sword, Cyand’s Solomon, Sparrow’s Brahman! Even the Eastern Orthodoxy!

In short, for Jun Chester, 99. 99% of the people here… were strangers!

It could be said that all the world-class high-level practitioners and organizations known to the cultivation world… could be seen here!

It shows how grand the Medical Conference being held today is!

Jun Chester was seeing so many high-level practitioners for the first time! And for Lyvia, it was her first time too!

As the scene of this underground ten-story main arena came into view, Lyvia was amazed!

Even Hugh Garner, who was one hundred and fifty years old, was extremely solemn when he saw the scene before him!

Like Reeds Hale, Hugh Garner was shocked by Jun Chester’s knowledge and learning.

But they remained skeptical about Jun Chester’s true strength!

Because, the cultivation core mentioned by Jun Chester, the Luminescence Core, didn’t have a specific concept for Hugh Garner.

Hugh Garner followed behind Jun Chester, walking towards the high platform at the end while looking around.

Beneath his feet was a red carpet, with soft gold edges along its sides!

Underneath the carpet was a long jade path.

The edge of the jade path was also inlaid with nanite stone lace.

On both sides of this long path, there were two rows of giant cauldrons made entirely of nanite stone!

The high platform at the end. The edge of the platform was also carved from nanite stone.

The iron cage on top was even made from black iron forged in the ice for a thousand years.

Even from such a distance, they could still feel a chill sweeping over them.

Hugh Garner did not know the woman hanging in the iron cage. After a glance at her, he shifted his gaze back to the enormous wall behind the raised platform.

The wall was filled with embossed reliefs, all carved from Nanite Stone. Various ancient mythical beasts seemed to come alive!

But what shocked Hugh Garner the most were the thirteen chairs hanging on that wall, seemingly integrated with the wall itself. How far were they from the ground? Several hundred feet at least?

Apart from the vacant golden crystal chair in the middle, the other twelve chairs were all occupied. Without exception, everyone seated projected a formidable aura, giving people a strong sense of oppression from afar. Each of their faces was obscured by a mask.

Even though they did not reveal their true faces, their elevated position gave the impression of looking down on all living beings, as if the gods had descended to earth.

Upon seeing this scene, Hugh Garner couldn’t help but swallow. It felt as if all twelve people in the chairs were looking in one direction, at the woman in the cage on the high platform.

Who was this woman? Why was she locked in a cage, watched by so many high-level cultivators?

Not only Hugh Garner didn’t recognize Landon Fuller. Even Lyvia, who had met Landon Fuller before, had difficulty recognizing her at first. That’s because when Lyvia had seen Landon Fuller before, Landon Fuller had not shown her true face.

Inside the iron cage, Landon Fuller was bound by several heavy dark iron chains, obscuring her real face. Only through the gaps in her long hair could one glimpse a little of her face. Scars crisscrossed her face like canine teeth, giving off a ghostly impression.

Just then, from both sides of the raised platform, came the crowd’s comments about Landon Fuller.

“She’s so ugly, how does she have the face to live in this world?”

“Her name is Landon Fuller. Although she is ugly, she has made a name for herself in this life, enough to attract our attention. Let’s see how she dies!”

“It’s said that she is Barnsley’s disciple!”

“Barnsley really has no eyes to accept such a disciple. It’s truly embarrassing!”

“Didn’t you notice? Although she’s ugly, she has a good figure. Maybe those old guys in Barnsley have unique tastes!”

The derogatory remarks about Landon Fuller were incessant and all were heard by Jun Chester. Yet, Jun Chester’s steps remained steady and unhurried. Those who knew him understood that the slower he walked, the more ruthless his actions would be when he finally stopped.

Of course, there was another reason. As Jun Chester moved towards the raised platform, he was circulating the energy within his body. The needles sealing his true strength in his meridians were quietly dissolving.

Under such circumstances, with each step Jun Chester took, his steps became lighter, not heavier. Upon closer observation, one would find that Jun Chester’s body gradually became as light as a feather.

Finally, Lyvia, who was walking beside Jun Chester, got a clear look at Landon Fuller’s face. She unconsciously touched Jun Chester’s arm and exclaimed, “What crime has the woman in the cage committed to be treated like this? Isn’t anyone going to do something?”

Only then did Jun Chester reveal the identity of the woman in the cage to Lyvia. “Her name is Landon Fuller, my disciple. She didn’t commit any crime.”

Lyvia’s eyes widened in shock. “What? She’s actually Landon?”

Jun Chester nodded in affirmation. “Yes, Landon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lyvia, who had been standing beside him, vanished from the spot and appeared in front of the iron cage on the raised platform.

It was at this moment that the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone, whether they were on both sides of the raised platform or in the chairs on the wall behind, turned their eyes to Lyvia. Without exception, they were all amazed.

For a moment, there was a flurry of discussion.

“Who is this woman? How can she be so beautiful?”

“She came with Jun Chester, she must be the wife of that lowly Jun Chester!”

“That lowly creature has finally arrived!”

Lyvia ignored the comments and kept her gaze fixed on Landon Fuller in the iron cage.

“Landon?” Lyvia called out to Landon Fuller.

Landon Fuller, who was in the iron cage with his pelvis pierced, trembled slightly. It seemed as if he had used all his strength to look towards Lyvia outside the cage.

“Mrs. Chester…” her words nearly brought tears to Lyvia’s eyes.

Lyvia, in a state of urgency, clutched at the black iron sinews on the cage, intending to yank it apart with brute force. However, as Lyvia exerted her strength, a whimper suddenly came from Landon Fuller inside the cage. Only then did Lyvia realize.

The iron chains inside the cage were part of the cage itself, and each chain was attached to iron cuffs that were filled with tiny iron pins! Without exception, these iron pins had all pierced into Landon Fuller’s flesh and bones! Given such circumstances, whether it was moving the cage or the chains, Landon Fuller would experience pain akin to having his bones scraped.

This was also another reason why Jun Chester had not rushed over immediately. He was pondering how to rescue Landon Fuller most effectively. Just then, Hugh Garner, who was following behind Jun Chester, drew the Devil Slayer from his waist again.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hugh Garner said to Jun Chester, “Here is the sword for you. Kill as many as you wish today!”

Jun Chester, however, did not accept it. Instead, he flicked his wrist and something like a tape measure fell into his palm from his sleeve. This item, entirely silver in color, was several times wider than a tape measure used for clothing. Jun Chester flicked it again, and with a clang, it completely unfolded into an extremely narrow long knife that was over a meter long, but without a sheath for the handle.

Jun Chester wrapped a piece of cloth around the handle, then responded to Hugh Garner, “I forgot to tell you, I actually don’t like swords. I prefer knives. Onward rushing knives!”

As his words fell, Jun Chester suddenly sprang up. Wherever his knife passed, a gust of knife wind swept across, and the top of the iron cage on the stage was suddenly broken!

All the black iron sinews on the entire cage, without exception, had also completely snapped! Yet, the knife wind hadn’t stopped!

Like an invisible blade, it continued towards the back of the cage, striking the grand wall at the back of the stage. With a bang, a long trench appeared on the wall.

The whole area was shaken! Even the people sitting on the twelve seats hung on the wall felt as if they had encountered a major earthquake and quickly left their seats! The next moment, the entire wall, cracked open like a spider web.

Ultimately, the massive wall became rubble and fell to the ground. At this point, Jun Chester had already landed on the stage, but his steps only paused for a moment before his figure continued to flash. He appeared in front of a man with a demonic face.

Without uttering a word, his knife quietly slashed, and a head flew off! This man with the demonic face was the Lord of Cinder Chapel.

Jun Chester had once infiltrated Cinder Chapel and had met him once. As the Lord of the Cinder Chapel’s head flew into the air… silence! A deathly silence!

Nobody had expected that Jun Chester, upon his arrival, would behead someone without a word. Moreover, his slash was terrifying! The Lord of Cinder Chapel’s head had fallen to the ground.

Jun Chester didn’t even glance at the severed head. He coldly scanned the people at the scene then slowly asked, “Whose dog was the Lord of Cinder Chapel?”

Saying this, Jun Chester entered the cage and placed his hand on Landon Fuller’s shoulder. The next moment, the iron pins on Landon Fuller’s limbs were all blown away. Then, a patch of white mist enveloped Landon Fuller’s entire body, and her wrists and ankles, which were originally bound by the iron cuffs, started to heal as if new flesh were growing on white bones.
