Chapter 2656: The Death of Tony Campbell
Chapter 2656: The Death of Tony Campbell
As a rainbow-colored light streaked across the sky, resembling a rainbow bridging heaven and earth, it entered Bloodshade City. Immediately, the entire city erupted in excitement.
"What is that?!"
"What is that rainbow light?"
"It seems to be heading towards the City Lord’s mansion!"
"Such momentum... Could it be that a powerful figure has arrived in our Bloodshade City? Perhaps a friend of our esteemed City Lord?"
...
Throughout Bloodshade City, anyone who saw the colorful light streaking across the sky fixed their gaze in the direction it pointed.
That was also the direction of the City Lord’s mansion.
Bloodshade City, City Lord’s mansion.
The rainbow light, akin to the descent of a Divine Being, not only startled all of Bloodshade City but also alarmed the City Lord’s mansion. In the eyes of those in the mansion, it had descended upon the mansion itself, landing directly outside the main hall.
"Esteemed visitor, Manuel Willow regrets not welcoming you from afar. May I ask what brings you to our Bloodshade City?"
Almost at the same time the rainbow light descended outside the main hall, a voice filled with anxiety boomed from afar.
Before seeing the person, his voice was heard first.
A moment later, a tall figure flickered from afar like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
But when he saw the two people beside the rainbow light, he couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
"This..."
Following the tall figure, an old and aged figure appeared—it was an elderly man.
And when he also saw the two people beside the rainbow light, like the first, he was dumbfounded and took a long time to regain his composure.
Previously, this rainbow light came from outside Bloodshade City, directly landing within the City Lord’s mansion with such grandeur that it made their hearts race uncontrollably.
In their view, only a powerhouse beyond a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ could arrive with such momentum!
Before they appeared here, because they didn’t know who this powerhouse was or why they came, they were filled with trepidation and uneasiness.
This could be heard from the unease in the voice of the owner of the tall figure before he even showed up.
And now, upon seeing the two men clearly, while they breathed a sigh of relief, they were equally shocked.
Because they recognized the two young men before them.
"Wyatt Barnes, Ares Cooper, you..."
The tall figure, none other than City Lord Willow of Bloodshade City, looked at the two young men smiling at him. Though slightly regaining his composure, the ripples of shock in his heart were still hard to calm.
He couldn’t have imagined in his wildest dreams:
The person arriving at their City Lord’s mansion today with the imposing stance of a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ would be the two young talents who left their Bloodshade City two years ago:
Wyatt Barnes!
Ares Cooper!
"City Lord, I have returned this time to fulfill our ’transaction’."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Manuel Willow as he spoke, raising his hand.
Instantly, the rainbow light beside him and Ares faded slightly.
Not only did it reveal the complete form of the Sword Array, but it also completely exposed the figure imprisoned within it to Manuel Willow and the elderly man beside him.
The elderly man beside Manuel Willow was none other than Elder Hayden, the head of the Golden Serpent Guards!
The strongest under Manuel Willow, recognized as the second strongest in Bloodshade City.
Swish! Swish!
When they saw the old figure imprisoned in the gradually fading rainbow light, their complexions changed simultaneously, their pupils contracting, their gaze revealing deep shock and incredulity.
"This..."
"This..."
Manuel Willow and Elder Hayden’s throats moved, a hoarse sound emerging, unable to accept the reality before them for a long while.
The person imprisoned by the rainbow light before them, although they hadn’t seen him for many years, his appearance and form had not changed in the slightest, allowing them to recognize him almost instantly:
Zhou Tong, the first Sacrificial Officer of Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion!
For Manuel Willow, even if the person before him turned to ash, he would still recognize him.
Because this was the enemy he had been longing to eliminate for years!
"Manuel Willow, you have quite the gall!"
Simultaneously, Zhou Tong, imprisoned within the rainbow Sword Array, glared at Manuel Willow, angrily shouting, "How dare you find someone to deal with me... If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have spared your life back in deference to Lord County Governor!"
In Zhou Tong’s eyes, it was precisely because he spared Manuel Willow’s life that he faced this calamity today.
However, he never imagined:
If not for Wyatt Barnes wanting to leave his life to Manuel Willow to resolve, he would have been killed outside Nine Nether County’s County City long ago.
This time, he provoked Wyatt Barnes of his own accord, and even if Wyatt hadn’t made a deal with Manuel Willow, he would have found it hard to escape disaster!
Zhou Tong’s angry shout rang in Manuel Willow’s ears like thunder, making his eardrums ache painfully.
This also made Manuel Willow, who had wondered if he was dreaming, come to his senses and confirm he wasn’t dreaming, "I’m not dreaming, I’m not dreaming..."
After coming to his senses, Manuel Willow looked at Tony Campbell, who was glaring at him with eyes almost popping out, and suddenly laughed, his smile growing increasingly brilliant.
"Hahahahaha..."
Manuel Willow couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Hu!
As Manuel Willow laughed heartily, Elder Hayden, standing beside him, came to his senses and swiftly left Manuel Willow’s side, preventing those from the City Lord’s Mansion who heard the commotion from approaching.
Today’s events concern the Nine Nether County’s first Sacrificial Officer ’Tony Campbell.’
The fewer people who know, the better.
A mistake might anger their Nine Nether County’s Lord County Governor, potentially bringing disaster upon their Bloodshade City’s City Lord!
"Tony Campbell, today is your day... You never imagined you’d see this day, did you... Hahaha... Hahahahaha..."
Manuel Willow looked at Tony Campbell, speaking and laughing aloud, his tone full of relief and joy.
Wyatt Barnes and Ares Cooper stood quietly on the side, watching.
Wyatt Barnes already knew about the grudge between Manuel Willow and Tony Campbell, so he wasn’t surprised.
Ares Cooper, on his return to Bloodshade City, heard Wyatt Barnes talk about the grudge between Manuel Willow and Tony Campbell, so he wasn’t surprised either.
However, knowing about Manuel Willow and Tony Campbell’s grudge and the ’deal’ between Wyatt Barnes and Manuel Willow, any doubts he had while staying in Bloodshade City were resolved.
He finally understood:
Why Manuel Willow would care for Wyatt Barnes so much, allowing Wyatt Barnes to cultivate in his private meditation chamber.
Even the leaders of the Black Dragon Army and Army of Silver Sea Dragon, Manuel Willow’s right-hand men, never received such treatment!
"Manuel Willow, if you dare harm me... Lord County Governor will surely ensure you die without a burial place!"
Seeing Manuel Willow laughing, with a chilling murderous intent rising in his eyes, Tony Campbell, realizing the danger, changed his expression drastically and uttered threatening cold words, trying to use the Nine Nether County’s County Governor to intimidate Manuel Willow, hoping he’d hesitate!
"If I can kill you... even if Lord County Governor wants to execute me afterward, I will have no regrets."
Hearing Tony Campbell’s words of threat, Manuel Willow instead restrained his laughter, looked calmly at Tony Campbell, and spoke in a serene tone.
This moment gave the impression of Manuel Willow having "transcended life and death."
Swoosh!
Seeing that Manuel Willow wasn’t lying, Tony Campbell’s expression changed drastically again. He pleaded, "Manuel... City Lord Willow, I know what I did back then wronged you and your personal disciple."
"In this way... as long as you are willing to spare my life today and let Wyatt Barnes release me, I am willing to travel and find a superior personal disciple for you, compensating you!"
"Moreover, whatever compensation you want... I can promise you!"
On the brink of life and death, the usually arrogant Tony Campbell thoroughly lowered his lofty head, wagging and pleading in front of Manuel Willow, someone he always looked down upon as a ’bug,’ begging for mercy.
"To find me a superior personal disciple, compensate me?"
Manuel Willow laughed, a brilliant and manic laugh, tears unknowingly streaming down his face, yet his eyes flashed with sharp light, his murderous intent soaring to the extreme.
"Do you think... my personal disciple, whom I personally trained, nurturing from childhood as my own, can be replaced by anyone?"
Manuel Willow looked at Tony Campbell, his smile turning into a cold laugh.
"I..."
Just as Tony Campbell wanted to say something more.
"Wyatt Barnes!"
Manuel Willow suddenly looked at Wyatt Barnes, his murderous intent exploding to the maximum.
Faced with Manuel Willow’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes understood what he was being prompted to do, and his eyes turned cold, his intent moved, causing the radiant Seven-Colored Sword Array imprisoning Tony Campbell to surge.
"No—"
As the Seven-Colored light surged, Tony Campbell seemed to realize something, his expression changed drastically again, letting out a heartrending roar.
Boom!!
In an instant, the Immortal Origin Force on Tony Campbell exploded, making his final desperate struggle.
However, Tony Campbell was heavily injured now; despite his desperate struggle, it was futile in the face of Wyatt Barnes’ Seven-Colored Sword Array.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
The Seven-Colored Sword Array suddenly contracted, thousands of sword rays whistled out, and after crushing the Immortal Origin Force exploding on Tony Campbell, they burrowed into his body one after another, leaving him riddled with fearsome, gruesome bloody holes.
’A hornet’s nest’ reappeared.
Though still not injuring Tony Campbell’s vitals, his repeated injuries left him near death.
"Hmph!"
Accompanied by a cold snort, Manuel Willow struck as Tony Campbell hovered between life and death!
Buzz!
With a swipe of his palm, he ended Tony Campbell’s life.
A Daai Law Golden Immortal fell just like that!
