Chapter 441
"So, young master Lex, what do you think?"
Thordan was grinning as he asked the pondering young man . Honestly, Lex was totally up for it as Angelina and Lucy looked practically the same . A hot and kind of disgusting gaze landed on Lucy, who chose to act normal instead of showing the usual contempt .
"It"s a pleasure to be part of your family, father-in-law . "
Delighted, Thordan burst out in laughter while beckoning for Lex to sit next to him . Now that the two families finally joined, they all need to finalize the marriage and reveal it to the public .
Contrary to the joyful father, Angelina was feeling down, unable to come up with something that"ll stop her father"s schemes . She would glance at Lucy every now and then, however, her sister was acting strangely .
At some point, after talking with Thordan for a while, Lex walked toward the motionless Lucy, ready to get to know her and deepen their new relations.h.i.+p .
As to welcome him, perhaps, Lucy got up and showed a soft and alluring smile which shocked Lex, who thought that she was against the marriage . Now that he knew she approved of him, the young man felt even more confident thus widening his steps as he made his way toward her .
Lex stopped in front of her and cupped his fists while showing his handsome smile .
"Eva, let"s get along well . "
"Yes, let"s . "
The youngster failed to notice the coldness that flashed across her eyes . Unlike her sister, Lucy"s pupils were blood red, just like a vampire, this only added to her beauty as the silver and blood red colors complimented each other .
Not expecting her to be like this due to her behavior from earlier, Lex didn"t know what to say exactly . He stretched his hand, planning to kiss the back of her hand but he caught naught but air .
By the next second, the smiling Lucy was no more, the atmosphere around her drastically changed as if it was a completely another person . Before anyone else could react, a silver revolver appeared in her hand…
"BANG!"
A b.l.o.o.d.y hole appeared on the young man"s forehead . The bullet pa.s.sed from his forehead all the way to the back of his head, creating a "tunnel" . Lex lifelessly fell on the ground only to be caught by the two middle-aged men, who were too late as they only managed to catch him when it was all over .
No one did expect the calm Lucy to suddenly take out a foreign weapon and kill Lex with no hesitation whatsoever . He"s a famous figure even in the Divine Planet and the Five Lakes Sect values him greatly .
Even Angelina wouldn"t dare kill him yet here he is, laying on the ground, deader than dead . Thordan"s face contained disbelief and shock, he only processed what happened when one of the two middle-aged men jumped on Lucy, planning to catch her .
Since she killed Lex, she has to be punished by the sect so it was his duty to at least bring back the criminal alive .
Unfortunately, before he could even reach her, half of his body was frozen by Yin Power, rendering him unable to take another step . The lower part of his body became a block of ice which couldn"t be broken .
Lucy"s eyes, which were smiling a second ago, were emitting a thick killing intent that covered the whole room, making even the two expert guards s.h.i.+ver from fear .
She just killed Lex a moment ago so there"s nothing to stop her from eliminating them too . However, this one was but the beginning of a series of shocking events .
The enraged Thordan appeared in front of Lucy and . .
"SLAP"
She was literally sent flying for a dozen meters before falling on the ground with a red mark on her face . For the first time since they met, Lucy was slapped by another man, and it was none other than her own biological father .
"Don"t move, Arthur!"
Lucy warned Arthur, who was barely contained . If things were to go south right now, it"ll only worsen their situation . Lucy held her reddened cheek and glared at Thordan but didn"t act yet .
However, the father suddenly raised his hand and frowned as he started feeling pain . Upon a closer look, a creepy tattoo appeared on the back of his right hand, indicating that he"s marked by the Dark Blade .
From now onwards, the fate of Thordan has been sealed, he has been condemned by both his daughter and her husband . Even if he seeks atonement and begs for forgiveness, he will still die by Arthur"s blade .
"You promised me, didn"t you?"
Lucy talked to the unusually silent Arthur, who remained dormant inside of her but the vibrating Makaze on her waist clearly showed his emotions . The Dark Blade was releasing an absurd amount of black flames that consumed everything around her .
Thordan wanted to slap her again but stopped mid-way due to the flames that surrounded her, blocking his way and even threatening him .
"You actually dare!"
Although he was wary of the black flames, he just can"t stand there and watch after his "daughter" killed Lex . He was about to grab Makaze and get rid of it only to be stopped by Angelina, who grabbed his hand while saying
"You should stop, father . Any more and it"ll be the end for you . "
Last time he hit her, he almost died by the Matriarch"s hands so if he dares to hit Lucy again, he definitely won"t be spared .
Just when things were about to calm down, a deep and loud growl reverberated across the whole White Specter Clan, alerting everyone, including the waiting Hobson, who frowned and started heading toward the source of the noise .
The growl emanated from none other than the vibrating Dark Blade, which suddenly calmed down only for the whole room to turn into absolute darkness .
Countless specks of lights then started appearing . These specks were actually swords of different shapes and colors, whether it"s short swords, daggers, or even longswords . They floated a few inches in the air before rotating until their sharp tip was pointed at the flabbergasted Thordan .
The OverG.o.d tried to get rid of the encroaching darkness and the countless blades but to no avail, his energy did naught in this dire situation .
"Stop it, Lucy . "
Angelina told her sister to stop but the response she got made her even more worried .
"I"m not the one doing this . If you can, you can try to stop it yourself . "
Lucy glanced at Evil Wind, which was floating vertically in front of her, it also pointed at her father, who was slowly backing away . He only stopped when his back hit the wall, which blocked his way of escape .
Sharp sword essence twirled around the swords, which remained like that for merely three seconds before they all rushed at the target . Unfortunately, the OverG.o.d was unscathed as several silhouettes appeared out of nowhere and joined forces to distinguish the darkness and push away the swords .
Exactly three people appeared, all OverG.o.ds and they all had an illusory whitetail that was enveloped by white flames . Their eyes were sky-blue and their bodies were transparent .
This was the transformation of White Specters which strengthens their senses and increases their power . All the blades vanished but the main one still managed to hit its target, causing a small b.l.o.o.d.y hole to appear on Thordan"s chest . In the end, even Makaze was flung off but it quickly stabilized itself and returned to Lucy"s waist .
A suffocating power wrapped itself around Lucy and bound her, rendering her unable to lift a finger . It was the same restriction Hobson used on her back then .
One elder appeared before the Thordan, supporting him and trying to heal the b.l.o.o.d.y wound . The father"s face was pale as blood leaked out of his lips . He glared at the expressionless Lucy, who was staring at him with a dagger-like stare .
Although she very much wanted to kill Thordan right now, she had to hold herself as it"s still not time yet . Were she to act, it"ll ruin everything and increase the probability of them discovering Arthur .
After all, they are OverG.o.ds so their soul sensitivity is much higher than normal cultivators . One expert in Soul attacks is enough to sense the presence of a second living soul residing inside of her body .
The Dark Blade, Makaze, started experiencing a change as dozens of black talismans started appearing . The talismans wrapped themselves around Evil Wind, forcing it to calm down . Unlike Arthur, Makaze reacts strongly to its owner"s emotions and it cannot simply be stopped using normal means hence he used the Dark Magic talismans to contain the blade, for now .
If not, it"ll continue attacking until Thordan is dead…
"You…*cough* will regret-"
Thordan couldn"t even finish his sentence and fell unconscious . A large amount of Dark Magic invaded his body and started doing its job . Although he"s an OverG.o.d, his foundation is shaky and his Celestial Body is incomplete .
A person like him is an easy target for Dark Magic, which is the boon of weak bodies . Unless Arthur personally extracts it, Thordan will continue to suffer and feel an excruciating agony .
Yes, he will not die and will probably return to his peak state in a few days if he takes high-level recovering pills, however, he"ll still go through unimaginable pain every now and then . Moreover, if the Dark Magic resides in his body for a few more years, it"ll become part of him and at that time, he"ll definitely die .
