Chapter 170 Held Back


    Soon after that, at a run-down cemetery near the vige, Sue was kneeling morosely in front of a


    newly-erected tombstone. She was crying her eyes out as Rocky stood by her side, looking


    discouraged. Had he arrived earlier, he might have been just in time to save Jackson from Matthew and


    his men.


    "Sue, you should leave this ce and start your life elsewhere. The money I left to your grandfather


    "How can I leave this ce? It''s all I''ve ever known! What about you? If I leave, they will definitely


    up and looked at Rocky. She was genuinely worried about him.


    "Don''t worry. I can take care of myself. I will send Uriah and Rubygon to escort you first. I need to go


    back to the military camp to do something first. I''ll catch up with youter." Rocky rubbed her head


    tenderly to console her. He then instructed Uriah and Rubygon to protect her before he took off.


    "Mr. Bai..." Sue stared at Rocky''s departing silhouette, looking deeply concerned. But she soon


    snapped out of her silent reverie, gathering her things and leaving along with Uriah and Rubygon. She


    knew that her being here would seriously impede Rocky''s ns.


    Although Rocky knew that he would get into trouble the second he reached the military camp, he still


    decided to go as he had a score to settle with Matthew. As he walked into the military camp, covered in


    blood, he drew looks from soldiers and spirit maniptors all around.


    "Could someone please have this murderer locked up?" Someone barked the order furiously at this


    moment.


    Rocky turned and saw four spirit maniptors led by Evan along with a group of soldiersing his


    way, surrounding himpletely. There was no way out.


    "I can''t believe that you had the audacity toe back after you killed two spirit maniptors of my


    squad. I hope that your strength is as big as your balls." Evan stared at him darkly. Clearly, he already


    knew that Rocky had killed two of his men and wounded Matthew. Although he had no idea how Rocky


    managed to do that. It had puzzled everyone as to how even Matthew, who was at the sixth grade of


    the Mortal Stage, was rendered infertile by Rocky. Evan was fuming with what Rocky had done to his


    men and was determined to make him pay for what he had done. He had never liked Rocky from the


    beginning and thought that this would truly be the perfect opportunity to destroy him once and for all.


    "Why don''t you call up Matthew and ask what he has done?" Rocky remainedposed and calm.


    "You were caught by Matthew and two other spirit maniptors raping poor women and killing innocent


    vigers. They were just trying to talk you out of hurting innocent people yet youunched sneak


    attacks against them. Matthew has told me everything. Are you still trying to deny it?" Evan shouted


    with fury in his voice.


    It turned out that Matthew put all the me on Rocky as part of his plot to frame him. Of course, it was


    also due to the fact that Evan disliked Rocky all along that he bought Matthew''s story without a doubt


    as he was looking for a chance to get rid of Rocky. This was the reason why he brought this many


    people in hope of disgracing Rocky and having him detained.


    Soldiers and spirit maniptors exchanged a look of shock with each other as they had never thought


    that Rocky would be capable of such horrible things.


    "He is pretty good at making up stories. I''ll give him that." Rocky gave a cold smile. He knew from the


    beginning that Matthew would tell some lies to set him up. But those lies would be put to rest once and


    for all today.


    "You are a military man and yet you just killed your ownrade-in-arm. This is a capital offense and I


    shall have you executed right now." Evan looked at Rocky with malicious intent, spitting words that


    reeked with self-righteousness as if Rocky had actually done something wrong.


    "Rocky, if you admit to your crime here in front of everyone, I may just spare your life." Evan stared at


    Rocky. Of course, he did not mean a single word he said. He would kill Rocky nheless when the


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    timing was appropriate and he knew for sure that there was no way Rocky would admit to being guilty.


    "I will not admit to the crime that I have not done. How about you summon Matthew? I will confront him


    and leave the judgment to themander," Rocky responded coldly, caring not for his threats.


    "Themander and her aids went to inspect thebat readiness of the front line. They will not be


    back until tomorrow. So I am charged with all affairs in the military camp." This was also the reason


    why Evan dared to cause such a disturbance. With the first and the second inmand both gone, he


    was holding the reigns.


    Rocky realized Evan''s intention immediately. He figured out that this conniving man was looking to


    have him executed right now so that there would be no witness to the heinous crime when the


    the situation to his advantage.


    Thor and Joss made it to the scene the second they heard that Rocky had shown up. They felt anxious


    as they saw that Rocky was surrounded but there was not much they could do to help given their status


    and strength.


    More than half of the military camp''s poption of soldiers and spirit maniptors had gathered,


    pointing their fingers and muttering about Rocky. In their eyes, he had just be a shameless and


    despicable murderer.


    "Take him down. If he resists, kill him." Evan gave the order.


    Four spirit maniptors of the first squad immediate stepped up from behind Evan, intending to


    apprehend Rocky. They were seething with anger. Two of their teammates had died at this man''s


    hands. Oh, how very badly they wanted to cut him open to avenge their fallen brothers!


    These four spirit maniptors from the first squad were all above the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage but


    no higher than the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage. To the crowd, Rocky appeared to be at only the


    third grade of the Mortal Stage. In the face of the four spirit maniptors, his power looked pathetic.


    However, Rocky only took a nce at them coldly and said, "Who wants to go first? Or do you want to


    The four spirit maniptors from the first squad looked stunned, just like everyone else around. They


    were all wondering how Rocky dared to stand up to them, especially considering that they were much


    more powerful than he was.


    ''He must be out of his mind!'' everyone thought.


    "For someone as pathetic and weak as you, I alone will be more than enough." A tall spirit maniptor


    with an equine face at the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage strode forward, looking contemptuously at


    Rocky. He concentrated his spiritual power into his fist and then charged towards Rocky.


    Rocky did not even flinch or move a muscle. The spirit maniptor raised his fist, which was shining


    the light of spiritual power, and struck at Rocky with full force.


    Just as everyone thought that Rocky was about to take a bloody beating, he only used his left hand


    and caught the iing fist with a calm, unruffled face.


    Everyone was shocked to the core to see that Rocky had done this with rtive ease, as though he


    had merely caught a ball thrown at him.


    His strike carried the spiritual power of the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage, which normally was way


    beyond what Rocky could take given his weak strength. But how could he have merely stood there and


    caught it without at least flinching!?


    At this moment, everyone gasped as they began to feel the surge of Rocky''s spiritual power. Bit by bit,


    they could sense that it had reached the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage in a sh!
