Chapter 599: Striking from the Shadows

"Joseph?" Seeing Joseph collapsed on the ground, George's expression changed, and he flashed to his side in an instant.

The star storm on the arena slowly dissipated, and Chen Jing stood straight, holding the Wind Holy Sword in her hand. The others present looked at the young girl on the stage, their auras involuntarily dimming. After all, this was a ruthless person who had crushed a Saint Son of the Holy See wielding the Sword of Judgment.

In the distance, Hao Xuan, supported by Ahao, was also looking at the young girl on the arena.

"Only a woman like this is worthy of being the wife of the Third Young Master of my Hao Family." A hint of infatuation flashed in Hao Xuan's eyes.

If his previous thought was just to play around with Chen Jing, now his thought was to make Chen Jing his wife. To be able to cultivate such a young genius, the power behind her must be no less than the Hao Family; if they could form a marriage alliance, it would certainly be a huge boost to the Hao Family's future plans.

"Young Master, this is not an easy thing to do," Ahao said, leaning closer to Hao Xuan.

"Where there is a will, there is a way! Besides, young talents like me are already hard to find." Hao Xuan was full of confidence in himself.

Looking at the blindly confident Hao Xuan, Ahao couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, while simultaneously starting to get a headache over how to clean up the mess when his young master made a fool of himself.

"This, how is this possible?" Looking at the broken Sword of Judgment in Joseph's hand, Joseph's eyes were almost popping out.

As one of the holy relics of the Holy See, the Sword of Judgment possessed immense power. The Dark Council had once sent people to attack the previous owner of the Sword of Judgment, and even deployed two holy relics in an attempt to destroy it. But the final result was that the holder of the Sword of Judgment fought their way out of the encirclement, and one of the Dark Council's two holy relics was severely damaged by the Sword of Judgment and was still recuperating. But now, the Sword of Judgment, which had established such illustrious battle achievements, had actually snapped; this filled him with incomparable horror.

"No, what about the Angel Power inside Joseph?" When he held Joseph's hand to perform a healing spell on him, he discovered an even more serious problem: he was unable to sense the Angel Power inside Joseph at all.

"The Angel Power inside Joseph was left behind by that great one who left the Sword of Judgment; how could it possibly disappear? Could it be a punishment from that great one because the Sword of Judgment broke?" George's mind raced. "No, this cannot be the work of that great one. Even that great one could not silently abolish the seed of Angel Power inside Joseph in full view of everyone. Then, the only possibility..."

Joseph looked toward Chen Jing on the arena, his eyes filled with unspeakable shock and anger.

Chen Jing did not stay on the stage long; crushing Joseph had also consumed her greatly. The dual superposition of the Eternal Mark and the Star Gang Power had brought a heavy burden upon her. If another opponent of Joseph's level came along, she did not think she could continue to fight.

As the Eternal Mark and the Star Gang Power receded one after another, the majestic aura on Chen Jing's body also began to fade slowly. After both powers disappeared, Chen Jing felt a wave of weakness; this was a sign of overexertion.

Seeing Chen Jing walk off the arena, George, carrying the unconscious Joseph, flashed and appeared in front of Chen Jing.

"I say, what are you trying to do?" Lingyun appeared behind him at some unknown moment, pressing down on his shoulder from behind, preventing him from moving any further.

George's heart skipped a beat, and his vigilance toward Lingyun rose to a new level; he had completely failed to notice when Lingyun had arrived behind him.

"This is merely a competition of the Hidden Dragon Assembly; you actually dealt such a vicious blow to Joseph. What is the meaning of this?" Pressed by Lingyun's hand on his shoulder, Joseph was unable to pull any tricks and could only ask fiercely.

"Then I would like to ask, this is merely a competition of the Hidden Dragon Assembly; Joseph actually brought out a holy relic of the Holy See. What is the meaning of this? If I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid the situation would be even more miserable than his right now," Chen Jing said coldly. "You broke the rules of the Hidden Dragon Assembly, and I merely made a corresponding counterattack."

Looking at Chen Jing in front of him, George wished he could snap her neck. In this competition, the Holy See had not only lost a future Angel but also a holy relic. He could already imagine the accountability he would face after returning to the Holy See.

But now he was helpless; Joseph bringing out the Sword of Judgment on the arena was naturally something he had tacitly approved of in secret. But looking at the current situation, it could only be described as losing the wife and the army. If he did anything else out of line, the Holy See would definitely become a thorn in the side of other powers. Rule-breakers were never welcomed by people!

"You all just wait!"

George glared at Lingyun, then hurriedly left the place while holding Joseph. The Star Gang Power inside Joseph was still rampaging; if not treated in time, it was likely to leave behind serious sequelae.

"Lingyun, I succeeded!" Chen Jing said to Lingyun with an excited face.

"I saw it, but you have consumed a lot of energy now; you should go back and rest first," Lingyun said, patting Chen Jing's head.

"Mm." Chen Jing nodded vigorously.

"Ahao, look at that white ghost from just now; what exactly happened to him?" Watching Joseph being carried away by George, Hao Xuan asked Ahao beside him in a low voice.

"This, Young Master, what are you planning to do?" Ahao asked with some trepidation.

"You don't need to know that; just tell me first, what is the situation with that white ghost right now?" Hao Xuan said with an impatient face.

"That person must have been severely wounded by Chen Jing on the arena. This injury must be extremely serious; after all, even the Sword of Judgment in his hand snapped. Chen Jing must have held back against him; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have survived. Now he should be being eroded by Chen Jing's power; if not treated in time, it will definitely lead to big trouble," Ahao, as a Golden Core expert cultivated by the Hao Family, naturally had a very sharp eye.

"If not treated in time, will it lead to big trouble?" Hao Xuan stroked his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

As a young master of the Hao Family, he had never suffered such a big loss. Now, under the gaze of everyone, he had been beaten so miserably by a white-skinned monkey. This matter must have already spread back to the family, which would inevitably lead to a significant drop in his evaluation within the family. As for the consequences of the evaluation dropping to a certain point, he dared not imagine. Even if the evaluation didn't drop to that point, the impact of the evaluation drop on him was immeasurable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit more resentment toward Joseph.

"If I'm not having a good time, don't think you'll have one either!" This was Hao Xuan's only thought at the moment.

"Young Master, the other party has the Holy See behind them. The overall strength of the Holy See is not inferior to our Hao Family at all; you must not act recklessly!" Ahao said with some trepidation.

"With our Hao Family's secret arts, can they be sure it was us who made the move? Even if they knew, could it be that they would dare to run to Huaxia to take action against me?" Hao Xuan waved his hand with disdain. "Besides, we have our ancestor; if they dare to come, it's no different from courting death!"

Watching Hao Xuan turn and leave, Ahao felt that the ominous premonition in his heart was becoming stronger and stronger.
