The pink uniformed disciples looked at Michael with some hesitation as Solomon stuttered in fear, "You...you have no...idea what've you done. If you....come-"

His words stopped coming out of his mouth as he saw Michael moving towards him. Overwhelming fear paralyzed the other two disciples behind him and the girl and stood there shivering.

Michael said nothing. He just stopped moving for a second before his body shook slightly before appearing instantly right in front of Solomon.

With the broken arrowhead right between his fingers, he made a fist and

slammed it into the face of Solomon with no fancy movements.

"Ah!" Solomon cried out in agony as he tried to cover his face in instinct.

However, Michael grabbed him by the neck and punched him again and again and again and again.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Zzzzzhhhhhhh!

Zzzzzhhhhhhhh!

Looking at the ravaged face of their friend, Solomon, the disciples screamed out aloud as their scream reverberated the Crystal ocean.

But two bolts of lightning through their heads cut their cries short.

Immediately after ignoring the continued rings inside his head, his body disappeared and reappeared right in front of Maria.

"Kill...her...Ghost" From behind, Michael heard Gaya's weak voice.

Michael still didn't know what happened back there but he had a gut feeling that everything started because of this girl before him.

"Don't....kill..." her words barely escaped her mouth as Michael's hold around her neck tightened. Although he slaughtered the male disciples, when he grabbed the girl and raised his hand, the crowd looked flabbergasted.

"Stay your hand!"

At this critical moment, a loud shout echoed out from the inner area of Phoenix Island. The shout was so loud that it sounded like a thundering roar. It swept across Phoenix Island and stirred the ocean waves. After that, everyone saw a man with a powerful aura and grandeur rushing over with great speed. In just the blink of an eye, he appeared a few meters away from Michael.

This adult man was in his forties. Behind him stood the girl who collected the entry fee before and a group of soldiers in armor. However, his armor was much shinier and mightier than that of those soldiers behind him. The entire armor was covered with countless symbols, giving it a touch of mysteriousness. His angular face carried a domineering expression, causing him to look mighty and vigorous. His aura was actually surpassing Porter and matched the aura of Victor.

"That's Lord Julius! Never thought he would come here."

"Lod Julius?!, what an incredible cultivation power! Core Strengthening stage level 5"

"Since Lord Julius is here, that young girl might be safe now"

"You'll become an enemy of the Phoenix manor!"

Lord Julius coldly harrumphed and became hostile. His words sounded so loud as they almost gave many weak-hearted cultivators a heart attack.

"Gho...st" Gaya tucked his sleeve and tried to let go of Maria. She wanted to kill Maria more than Michael but she knew it's impossible to kill Maria now since Julius has ordered Ghost to let go of her. Besides, she had more pressing concerns than killing Maria.

"If you ask politely, we might consider helping you Ghost" Peyton moved forwards a little and snickered. Michael slowly turned his sharp gaze at Peyton.

"I don't need the Guardians to save me" the crowd was again taken aback by the tone of his voice. He sounded colder and hostile. Before Peyton could say anything he turned to look back at Julius. For a few seconds, one could hear nothing except for the waves as they stared at Michael for his answer.

And then after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth

"And I don't give a fuck about Pheonix manor. She hurt my friend, so she will die"

....

Michael's words brought a storm to the crowds as Julius's face turned dark in anger.

"Oh heavens! This Ghost is really a daring guy!"

"He's dead, he is D-E-A-D!"

"He not only offended a guardian, he even disrespected Lord Julius in front of all these people"

"You little bastard! Do you think you can come to my island and disrespect me and leave this place alive?" Julius's killing intent skyrocketed as many people moved a few meters away from Julius terrified.

"Brat, are you really going to get yourself killed for a mortal girl?" Paul moved forward and asked before Julius could strike him down.

"Old man, she's my friend and that's all it matters to me" Paul helpless shook his head and said, "well, nice seeing yah brat"

Paul moved back to where he was before while Victor glanced at Michael with a small grin on his face.

"Prepare to die!" After these words left Julius's mouth, a gigantic bear claw appeared from Julius's hands and stunned everyone in the scene.

"What if he could leave this Crystal ocean alive Julius? " Just as everyone was staring at the gigantic bear claw made of Arch Energy of a Core Strengthening cultivator, they heard a voice.

Then in a flash, Victor appeared beside Julius, "humph, if he can move? 10 meters away from where he's standing now, I will let him and that girl live"

Michael didn't need any help from Victor however, he knew Victor was trying to make an ally.

"Kid, do you think you can kill that girl and escape a Core Strengthening cultivator's wrath?"

"Watch me"
