There was a hole the size of a bowl on the ghoul overlord’s chest. Its bones and flesh gradually cooled
like red-hot coals.
Another beam of light followed. This time, it took a section of the
ghoul overlord’s head in a mist of blood.
an
Nash lifted both hands and covered his face, cold blood sttering on his arm. Using his Eight
Deste Crumbling Fist, he sent the ghoul overlord on him flying.
Then, something stood up from the ground.
The ghoul overlord that was now missing half of its head rushed toward Nash again. With one side of
its head covered in blood and loose flesh, it was a horrifying sight to behold.
Fortunately, the wound was not healing this time.
Nash shed forward, strong winds billowing from the movement. He struck the ghoul overlord with the
Eight Deste Crumbling Fists. incredible speed at which it was delivered sent the ghoul overlord i a
big tree that was as thick as a bucket with just a single punch.
Jaxon appeared beside him immediately with the Eight-Part Sceptre and stabbed the tip into the
creature’s heart.
Unable to withstand the scepter’s mighty mythic power, cracks spidered throughout the ghoul overlord’s
body in a tight pattern before it exploded.
Jaxon let out a faint exhale as he gripped the scepter and rushed

toward the other two ghoul overlords. Nash and Eric followed him
closely.
Not far away, Boris and Peter were hidden in the dark as they witnessed this scene. Their expressions
turned sour.
Duncan’s face turned pale when he saw with his own two eyes how the expensive bodyguards he had
hired were getting sucked dry by the ghoul overlords.
“Master Peter, let’s go,” Boris said weakly.
Nash cutting down The Swordsman had left an impression on him forever. Seeing him go up against
the ghoul overlord so aggressively now, he lost all confidence.
“They’re already so heavily injured. We might still have a chance of turning the tables if we go over and
help out!” Peter said with
narrowed eyes.
He added, “You’ve seen the horror he’s capable of. Do you think we’ll still have the opportunity to turn
things around once he has recovered
his energy?”
“Duncan, what do you think?” Boris asked, shifting the decision- making to him. He had practically
drained his true energy after
battle with Mark just now.
Peter was only at the Profound Reality Realm. Although he was ade with the Path, Eric and Nash were
both Golden Amulet Masters. Their skills with the Path could only be better than his.
Going up against them now was akin to suicide.
However, Peter’s words were not without reason. Once Nash and the
rest recovered, neither of them would be able to withstand their fire.
“Retreat!” Duncan roared without hesitation.
The end had been decided, and there was no reversing it. Rather than serving their lives on a tter,
they should retain their strength and
look for another opportunity.

Boris looked at Peter again, hoping that he would listen to Duncan’s
words.
Peter’s hands were clenched tightly as he replied unwillingly, “If you
want to leave, leave. I won’t run.”
The ghoul overlord was the masterpiece of his lifetime. If it were to die, he would die with it.
Duncan roared, “Let’s go! We can still live to see this through another
day!”
Peter trembled slightly, and the anger in his eyes mostly dissipated. Taking a deep breath, he turned
around and said bitterly, “Let’s go…”
“Will you not take the ghoul overlord with you?” Boris asked.
The ghoul overlord was their trump card to make aeback. If they gave up on it, it would be
immensely difficult for them to do so in the
future.
Peter shook his head. “Nash and his group know where we’re hiding. We won’t be able to escape if we
bring it with us.”
After that, the two of them led Duncan down the mountain.
Duncan started the engine of a ck Mercedes-Benz and drove away
when an idea urred to him. “Since Nash and the others are now at
Sigur Cliff, isn’t Royal Bay defenseless?”
