Chapter 2817


    However, they were far weaker than the powerful figures who entered the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court.


    After receiving news of James'' appearance, Maveth ordered his subordinates not to act rashly. Rather, they allowed James safe passage. That was because he learned that James annihted Yorich''s knights in a single move. Knowing that his subordinates were no match for James, he did not wish for the elites of his race to be annihted. After all, they possessed enormous potential and were the pirs of the Celestial Ant Race.


    After James and the others arrived, their progress was not impeded.


    The soldiers of the Celestial Ant Race made way for them and allowed James, Brielle, and Qusai safe passage into Mount Penyet. As their passage was not impeded, they soon arrived at the peak.


    Upon their arrival, James saw Maxine, who was tied to a stone pir and covered in blood, and whose life was hanging by a thread. Immediately, he was enraged. His expression darkened, and he clenched his fists, his killing intent visible for all to see.


    Sensing James'' killing intent, Qusai was frightened and hurriedly cautioned, "Don''t act impulsively, James."


    James had once fought for his life for 30 thousand years in the Tribtion World. 30 thousand years of endless ughter had caused his body to umte enormous killing intent. All this while, he had been actively suppressing them. Upon seeing his family being tortured, the concealed killing intent burst forth and threatened to overflow.


    Brielle could feel a chill down her spine. She hurriedly grabbed James'' hand and whispered, "Don''t act impulsively. Remember to go with the flow." James took a deep breath to suppress the fury in his heart.


    The three slowly walked in.


    In the distance, Maveth and Kakush stood up simultaneously and looked at the approaching group.


    "Hahaha!" Mavethughed. "I thought James came alone. I didn''t expect there to be an additional two. Qusai and Brielle each have a War Order in their possession as well. Today, I''ll have three War Orders."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    He patted Kakush''s shoulder and said, "You''re in luck today. You''ll be able to enter the Thirty-three Stages Celestial Pce as well."


    Kakush''s expression was solemn,


    however. Since they managed to


    obtain a War Order, they must


    possense power. Though be a


    both


    and Maveth were powerful, he was not confident they could emerge victorious against a group of three.


    Knowing that Maxine was the key, his body shed, and he appeared beside the pir. Holding a


    razor-sharp de in his hand, heet


    said coldly, "Not one more step James. Hand over the War Order at once. Otherwise, I''ll kill her


    immediately."


    James red at him and uttered word by word, "You touch a single strand of her hair and I''ll tear you to pieces."


    Swish!


    Without any mercy, Kakush raised his sword and shed Maxine''s arm. The razor-sharp de immediately sliced her arm in half. Her arm dropped to the ground, blood gushed out from her wound.


    "Argh!"


    Maxine had lost consciousness. However, the excruciating pain woke her up, and she screamed in agony.


    Then, she saw James from the corner of her eye. Collecting herself, she cried out, "Stay away, James! Leave now!"


    Upon witnessing this scene and hearing her agonizing scream, James clenched his fists and uttered word by word, "Very well, you are dead meat. Say your prayers."


    "Cut the cr*p. Where''s the War Order? Hand it over." Maveth said.


    He was quite satisfied with Kakush''s actions. This guy was rather quick-witted. Based on his original n, he nned to use Maxine as bait to lure James here. Then, he


    would fight against James faí Ce


    and


    square, defeat him, and seize his War Order.


    Using Maxine to ckmail James was not a terrible option too.
