LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The knife was still stuck in Joseph Smith’s shoulder. It was a penetrating wound, and the knife energy had also damaged the meridians around Joseph Smith’s shoulder. This was different from an ordinary knife wound. One could say that with this flying knife alone, Joseph Smith was injured to the point where he had no chance to fight back. The air seemed to stand still. In the huge manor, there was only the sound of the wind blowing and the rain falling. The rain had lightened up a bit. But even so, when the fine rain fell on the knife stuck in Joseph Smith’s shoulder, Joseph Smith still felt… extremely painful!

Joseph Smith did not cry out in pain. However, the look in his eyes toward Jun Chester was full of shock. Joseph Smith did not expect at all that he would be defeated by Jun Chester’s knife like this. One had to know… he had learned under Pinkriver Temple! How could this be? How could Jun Chester be so powerful? Could it be… that all these years, Cecelia Garner had been personally teaching Jun Chester cultivation methods? Otherwise, how could he be so terrifying?

At this time, the sword wound on Marietta Stewart’s neck had coagulated. Although she had narrowly escaped death, she had lost too much blood. Her face was as pale as paper. However, at this moment, Marietta Stewart could no longer feel the intense pain from the wound on her neck. Her eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the scene before her. She was completely unable to believe that with just one strike of his knife, Jun Chester had sent Joseph Smith flying back dozens of meters! Where exactly was Jun Chester just now? What position did he strike from?

Loong Chester and the others were also shocked to the extreme, completely unable to believe that Jun Chester would suddenly appear! Even more unbelievable was that Jun Chester was actually able to force Joseph Smith back with just one strike of his knife! This was Joseph Smith! This was Margaret Lovall’s stepson, Joseph Smith! What kind of terrifying realm had Jun Chester reached? This was simply… invincible in the world!

Yet at this time, although there was still shock in Joseph Smith’s eyes, there was no fear! Naturally, Joseph Smith also did not obey Jun Chester’s order to kneel before him. As Jun Chester slowly walked towards Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith did not retreat. Even when Jun Chester was right in front of him, he did not retreat.

Jun Chester raised his hand and slowly pulled out the knife stuck in Joseph Smith’s shoulder. During the process of pulling out the knife, Joseph Smith’s face was twisted in agony. The knife was back in Jun Chester’s hand. Joseph Smith’s gaze shifted as he looked once more towards the giant tree thousands of meters away, and asked Jun Chester, “Just now, you struck from that tree over there?”

As these words came out, Marietta Stewart and the others also turned and followed Joseph Smith’s gaze. At this moment, on that tree where Jun Chester had just been standing, there was still the figure of the middle-aged monk who was Jun Chester’s uncle. The middle-aged monk stood atop the great tree, his monk robes fluttering in the wind, giving off the air of a profoundly attained monk.

Who was this middle-aged monk? How was he standing there? What was his relationship with Jun Chester? Marietta Stewart and the others all had these doubts. Only Hugh Garner’s expression changed slightly when he saw the middle-aged monk, and he blurted out, “Kevin Smith?!”

Jun Chester looked towards Hugh Garner and asked, “You know him?”

Hugh Garner smiled wryly. “He is the elder brother of your birth mother and adopted mother.”

Jun Chester’s expression darkened. “I originally thought there were no secrets between master and disciple. It seems you have long known about my origins.”

Hugh Garner’s old face flushed red, and it took him a long time to squeeze out, “It was to protect you!”

Jun Chester asked again, “What about now?”

Hugh Garner blinked twice, pointed at Joseph Smith, and shamelessly made a request, “Jun, give me all of his cultivated power!”

Upon hearing this, Jun Chester did not have any particular reaction. Joseph Smith, however, felt as if he had suffered tremendous humiliation. He was about to flare up and kill Hugh Garner. But just as he moved the tips of his feet, Jun Chester’s voice came from behind him, “I didn’t tell you to move.”

Joseph Smith’s expression froze. But he still rushed towards Hugh Garner. “One cannot humiliate a grandmaster!” After speaking, Joseph Smith had already flashed in front of Hugh Garner, about to slash his sword across. But it was at this moment that Jun Chester struck out with his knife again.

The knife passed through and pierced into Joseph Smith’s lower back. More precisely, it was the spot of his coccyx. The tip of the knife pierced through his sacral bone, causing him to collapse directly to the ground. The result was Joseph Smith pinned to the ground by Jun Chester’s knife, his buttocks raised up.

Jun Chester casually glanced at Joseph Smith once. He slowly said, “In front of me, you dare call yourself a grandmaster? Do you have some misunderstanding about what the title of grandmaster means?”

“Furthermore, a loss is a loss. Why make so much fuss about it?”

“As a defeated underling, you still have the audacity to ask where I struck from, how I struck. Isn’t this… overestimating yourself too much?”

These few lines were even more unbearable to Joseph Smith than killing him. It was simply treating him not as a human, but as an animal! They were all top masters of the cultivation path. Was there a need to humiliate someone like this? Was there a need?

Yet at this time, Hugh Garner had become completely dumbfounded. If Jun Chester had not struck out just now, his, Hugh Garner’s, head would definitely have been removed from his body by Joseph Smith’s sword!

Jun Chester came before Joseph Smith again. He calmly said, “I will ask you something, you will answer, otherwise I will let you deeply understand what true humiliation means!”From NôvelDrama.Org.

Joseph Smith turned his head and looked at Jun Chester, his eyes like swords, wishing he could hack Jun Chester into… ten thousand pieces!

Jun Chester ignored his gaze and began the interrogation. “Back then, after the Map Stone fell into Pinkriver Temple’s hands, why was it placed under Pam Chester’s care?”

Joseph Smith did not answer. Jun Chester turned and shouted towards the villa where Riordan Wells lived, “Bruce!”

As soon as these words fell, Bruce Wells charged out from their villa. “Here!” In just a few breaths, Bruce Wells appeared before Jun Chester. The skinny Bruce Wells respectfully saluted Jun Chester. “Master, do you have any instructions?”

Jun Chester asked back, “What were you doing just now?”

Bruce Wells replied, “Supervising Dion doing his homework.”

Jun Chester asked, “Do you know what just happened outside?”

Bruce Wells answered, “I do, I was watching through the window.”

Jun Chester sternly asked, “Then why didn’t you let your mistress come out and settle things?”

Bruce Wells had a regretful look. “Your disciple is too unworthy, afraid of causing more trouble.”

Jun Chester did not reprimand Bruce Wells further, and pointed to the back of Joseph Smith’s head, instructing, “Put your hand on the back of his head.”

Bruce Wells did as told. As Bruce Wells’ large hand settled on the back of Joseph Smith’s head, although Bruce Wells clearly did nothing, Joseph Smith still felt a turbulent flow of energy pouring from Bruce Wells’ palm into the back of his head.

The energy flowed wildly along Joseph Smith’s meridians… like a swarm of locusts passing by, wherever it went, it completely swept away all the energy in Joseph Smith’s body. As the turbulent flow that took away Joseph Smith’s energy grew more and more violent, Joseph Smith finally showed fear on his face.

Obviously, death was not frightening to him. What was frightening was having all his cultivated power swept away! As the turbulent flow within Joseph Smith became more and more violent, entering his dantian, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and roared, “I’ll talk!”

But Jun Chester just smiled. “Too late.”

On this day, Bruce Wells advanced to the fourth stage in one step. Within his body, there were now three Cores – Yellow Core at the lower dantian, Luminescence Core in the middle dantian, and Ground Core in the upper dantian.

As Jun Chester withdrew his hand, Bruce Wells simply stood there, his hair fluttering without wind, golden light emanating from his eyes. This scene made Hugh Garner, Loong Chester and the others so envious they nearly died on the spot!

Jun Chester treated his disciple so well!

When everything calmed down, Jun Chester reached out and pulled the knife from Joseph Smith’s back. At this time, Joseph Smith was like a lifeless corpse. His eyes were blank, completely lacking the arrogance and composure from before. To cultivate your whole life, only to end up making clothes for another in the end! This kind of feeling was worse than death.

But it was at this moment that Jun Chester pointed at Joseph Smith’s forehead. Another turbulent flow of energy poured into his upper dantian, which was the Ground Core. Joseph Smith’s eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Jun Chester, his gaze full of disbelief.

“You… you actually…”

Jun Chester laughed coldly. “I came to your door as a guest and bestowed upon you a great opportunity. With your Ground Core condensed to completion, from now on, you will be my subject!”

Joseph Smith’s eyes were wide open. “Why?”

Jun Chester stood with hands clasped behind his back, and slowly spoke as if his words were law. “In the past, you had slain ten thousand with one sword strike!”

“Those you killed were Maple’s people!”

“Putting aside grievances in the jianghu, for Lordran, you have rendered meritorious service to the army!”

“I, Lord Chester, as the current guardian of Lordran, will naturally reward and punish fairly!”

Joseph Smith had a look of doubt. “For the nation?”

Jun Chester asked back, “What else?”

Joseph Smith opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped. After Jun Chester withdrew his hand, Joseph Smith pondered deeply for a long time before kneeling down in obeisance.

“I have lost.”

Jun Chester looked down from above. “Return to Mycintia and tell Margaret Lovall to wait, tell everyone in Pinkriver Temple to wait!”
