Chapter 2777: An Unexpected Tactic

Chapter 2777: Chapter 2777: An Unexpected Tactic

What does losing three Emperor realms mean?

It means the people inside can’t hold on any longer!

Could it be...

That guy is back?

Tom Davenport’s drunkenness vanished, and he immediately sobered up.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to leave as if nothing had happened.

Indeed, some matters, whether are blessings or curses, only heaven knows.

No one can guess but heaven.

He thought he was the last to know, with no chance at all.

But totally unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a chance to live!

Why not leave?

But Tom had barely taken ten steps when suddenly someone appeared in front of him.

"Sir... were you the one to kill three Emperor realm masters?"

His heart tightened, but he still forced himself to stay calm and said, "Truly formidable, achieving so much at a young age. But I wonder, sir, who are you..."

"Are you here to capture women too?" Julius Reed smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Tom laughed dryly and said, "I am an Emperor realm master. Emperor realm requires not only great skill but at least basic moral conduct."

"I hold myself to high standards, and even against female enemies, I cannot bear to strike. Do you think I could capture some women?"

"I cannot!"

Tom said righteously, "Am I that kind of person? Is that something a human would do?"

"So what are you here for?" Julius Reed laughed and curiously assessed the person before him, "Not here to help?"

"A joke, I’ve never been one to associate with such people. Even if they were my brothers, I would sever ties! Moreover, I barely know them!"

"I came here simply to stop them! But indeed, heaven has eyes, letting these three bastards die!"

With relief on his face, Tom said, "Since they’re dead, I am relieved too. Brother, perhaps we’ll meet again."

Saying so, he strode towards the distance.

But Julius Reed blocked his way, "Come and go as you please? Isn’t that a bit dismissive of the people here?"

"Brother’s intention is..." Tom’s face grew serious.

Killing three Emperor realms in a row, it couldn’t be without injury.

Should he fight?

Bet the opponent is injured?

Or yield to survive?

According to normal logic.

Someone who killed three Emperor realm masters in a row wouldn’t be unscathed!

Killing one Emperor realm could lead to injury.

After all, the Emperor realm is the pinnacle of martial artists!

Representing the peak ability of martial arts in this world.

Such people are very rare.

How could they be easily killed?

Moreover, the three of them probably came together.

A joint effort, but still killed, isn’t normal logic.

Thinking this way, it seems possible the young man before him isn’t injured.

Can’t afford to gamble.

Survival without shame.

Emperor realm masters believed they wouldn’t die before.

After all, in every era, only one or two reached Emperor realm.

Very valuable.

Highly prestigious!

But now, how many Emperor realms have died consecutively?

Their inner confidence suddenly crumbled.

Once, they thought even if an Emperor realm fled, no one could catch them.

When North Palace King died, people thought it was because he loved battle and didn’t flee.

But later?

A string of several Emperor realms met tragic ends in this world.

Did none try to flee?

Impossible.

They surely tried.

Could none escape through flight?

The minds of the Emperor realm masters began to change dramatically after Emperor Cloud Harris and two others died.

And this change first appeared with Tom!

He was the one who arrived earliest under Demarco Mount, closest to this battle both in time and place.

Tom was now in a dilemma.

"You have to explain to me clearly, what exactly are you here to do?" Julius Reed took two steps back and said calmly, "Make your move."

"Must it come to this? I don’t like getting involved in such disputes, if possible, we could even drink and have fun, become friends." Tom was still making a last effort.

Now he was utterly cowardly!

Not a single Emperor realm master was as cowardly as him.

But if being cowardly could save his life, it was worth it.

Afraid he admits cowardice yet the other side is relentless.

"Since you want to spar, I’m certainly willing. But let’s agree, just touch and stop." Tom braced himself to make a move.

First, to probe the reality and second, to showcase his own ability.

Having bargaining chips allows negotiation.

Allows preserving life.

More crucially, now Tom was very curious.

How did those three Emperor realms die?

This modern martial artist before him, in such a spiritually desolate era, exactly how powerful could he be!

Until now, not only him.

Even those Emperor realm masters who hadn’t experienced death still couldn’t figure out how the majestic Emperor realms could die at the hands of a modern martial artist!

And several Emperor realms died at the same time.

This kind of person, even ancient martial artists couldn’t find.

Tom’s inner curiosity prompted him to take action.

An Emperor realm’s fury shakes the earth and mountains!

Tom was now at his peak, he took a deep breath, activating the power within him!

"Show me your ability, let me see." Julius Reed’s lips curled up slightly, "Even if we become friends, you must have the capital to befriend me, right?"

He very much needed someone like Tom.

The current Emperor realm masters all came with ambitions of becoming kings!

Great ambition!

Conquering these people wasn’t possible at all.

Rian Harris was an exception.

Just awakened, he faced betrayal by a friend, collapse of his cultivation, and an extremely strong opponent.

Such beginnings, along with the later extraordinary combat prowess displayed by Julius Reed, made Rian Harris willingly serve him.

Such opportunities are hardly ever found.

Now, there’s another opportunity.

That’s the fear-ridden Tom.

Though Rian Harris’s cultivation fell, Julius Reed still needed an ally.

But Tom!

Is perfect to go back and act as an inside agent.

Now is the best time to make Tom submit.

With fear, just showcase overwhelming combat power, add a few tricks, and you can make this Emperor realm master your inside agent.

"Remember, just touch and stop, absolutely no going overboard!" Tom was still uneasy, continuously nagging.

As he finished speaking, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand!

Swish!

Tom vanished from his spot!

Rushing towards Julius Reed at an extremely fast speed!

Boom!

Just as Julius Reed raised his hand, beginning to channel his energy.

A golden mountain materialized in the void!

Clashing with the charging Tom!

Thud!

Tom staggered back several steps, eyes wide, "What’s going on! What’s going on!"

A surge hit his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
