Female Novel
Chapter 1223
With Bennett Caden joining the fray, there were now four eighth-rank martial artists fighting against the
Spirit Turtle─Thomas Caden, Simon Cabral, Winston Blithe, and Bennett himself.
Each of them stood at a corner and performed their own signature martial art skill. Four beams of True
Energy struck the Spirit Turtle.
However, the Spirit Turtle’s shell was impenetrable. Even eighth-rank martial artists could not even
make a dent.
Rumble!
Powerful waves of True Energy swept the surroundings, and the nearby mountains disintegrated.
Below, many lay dead. Some weaker martial artists were already dead, whereas some stronger ones
were injured. Essentially, everyone below the third rank was fleeing for their lives.
Watching the fierce battle in the sky, James’ face darkened.
He had gone to great lengths to exterminate the Gu Sect, but he never thought that his grandfather,
Thomas, would be the mastermind behind the scenes. He even gathered all the martial artists here at
the Mount Thunder Conference to slay the Spirit Turtle and attain immortality.
For the first time, he was suspicious of his grandfather’s motives. He could no longer comprehend what
kind of person his grandfather was.
After Callan was sent flying, he immediately regulated his breath to stabilize his injuries. Seeing thatnovelbin
many had joined the fray, Callan wished to be the first to obtain the Spirit Turtle’s blood. He leaped into
the air and joined the battle once more. However, this time, he did not use all of his strength. After all,
he was severely injured. If he overexerted himself, the consequences would be dire.
Lucjan furrowed his eyebrows as he observed the situation. Seeing that many more had begun joining
the fray, he leaped into action too.
Then, many others joined the battle. They were not eighth-rank martial artists, but instead peak
seventh-rank.
Powerful True Energy reverberated throughout Mount Thunder Sect. Even James could feel a shiver
down his spine.
“Ah…”
As James watched the chaos unfold, he could not help but exclaim.
Then, he spotted Maxine being struck by the waves from afar. She collapsed to the ground and
vomited a mouthful of blood, which reddened her white clothes. Though she tried to get up, the waves
of True Energy were too powerful. The moment she stood up, the earth rumbled, and she staggered
and fell once more.
James swiftly ran over to her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the region. After leaving the area,
he put her down.
“What the hell? Why didn’t you leave?” he questioned her.
“I-I wanted to observe the battle.” Maxine’s face was pale, and there were traces of blood on her lips.
“Only eighth-rank martial artists are involved in the battle. Do you know how powerful they are? Just
their aura alone can kill you multiple times! Leave this place at once and go far away!” James chided
her.
Maxine took her handkerchief out and wiped off the blood on her lips. Then, she turned to look at the
battle in the distance.
A group of people was attacking the Spirit Turtle from all sides. Even at such a distance, she could feel
the terrifying auras.
“I didn’t expect this to be Thomas’ plot. He’s a terrifying man. To think that he went into hiding for
decades just for this.” Maxine took a deep breath. She had tried thinking about Thomas’ objective, but
no matter how hard she tried, she could not relate it to the four paintings.
James said, “We’ll talk about this later. You should leave now.”
However, at that moment, the martial artists who had left returned.
