The first target Fergus Archer chose was Prince Adam’s confidant, the old man who had spoken up against Fergus Archer earlier. Boom! The bone-crushing hammer, like a grinding wheel, came crashing down on the old man’s head. His face changed drastically, unable to avoid it. In his haste, he could only raise his sword to block.


    However!


    The moment his sword collided with the bone-crushing hammer, the old man’s heart sank, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. A look of horror shed across his face.


    Deep in his heart!


    He was engulfed in despair!


    Too strong!


    It wasn’t until this moment that he truly understood that the gap between the Complete Stage and the entry stage of Bright Realm seemed to be only half a realm apart, but in reality, they were not even in the same league!


    Today!


    He might be in trouble!


    He might fall into the hands of Fergus Archer, the brute!N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Do you feel good now?”


    With Fergus Archer’s roar, the bone-crushing hammer broke through like a bamboo shoot. The old man’s sword couldn’t withstand a single strike, and the hammer pressed down, down, and down again!


    Relentlessly downward!


    The old man’s legs gave way, and he uncontrobly knelt before Fergus Archer. However, the momentum of the bone-crushing hammer didn’t lessen, continuing to press down, down, and down!


    Pressed all the way down!


    Bang!


    The result was tragic. The old man was nailed to the ground by the hammer like a wedge, his skin bursting open in an instant, blood sttering, and his bones breaking with a clear, audible snap.


    His entire body!


    Eventually, he was smashed into a ttened image, stuck to the ground beneath Fergus Archer’s feet!


    Completely crushed!


    This process seemed lengthy, but it only took one swing, one move, one action, and a few short seconds. The blood and shattered bones that sttered onto the nearby Complete Stage old men terrified them, sending them running for their lives.


    Damn!


    Too ruthless!


    Too fierce!


    Fergus Archer’s unparalleledbat and explosive power had entirely reshaped their understanding of cultivation realms. They gulped nervously, their hearts pounding wildly, trembling with fear, scalp tingling, and spine chilling.


    Could the Entry stage of Bright Realm truly be so powerful?


    Then!


    How terrifying would a genuine Bright Realm cultivator be?


    “Amazing!!!” Fergus Archer’s rage and murderous intent had nowhere to vent, and naturally, he wouldn’t waste any words on them. He didn’t give them any time to be shocked or react; instead, he immediately raised his bone-crushing hammer and charged into the crowd once more, shouting, “Next! It’s your turn!!!” One against eighteen! Such a terrifying record, even Sean had never achieved it before. The previous hammer strike had served as a warning, and it had intimidated everyone. Fergus Archer had already gained an absolute advantage psychologically! When he fought again, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable!!!


    “What?! This…” Standing in front of the loft, Prince Adam was also somewhat flustered. He turned his head to look at Prince Roscoe and Prince Lird beside him, his face showing deep concern. He said shakily, “This is not going to work if it goes on like this! Should we…”


    He didn’t finish his sentence! But! Prince Roscoe and Prince Lird understood his meaning. He wanted to activate other mechanisms at all costs to kill Fergus Archer, the monster, here!!! The problem was! Now! Fergus Archer and those Complete Stage old men were fighting together, making it hard to tell them apart. If they activated other hidden weapons hastily, they might not only fail to kill Fergus Archer but also identally kill their own people!


    The recent incident with the Mason family and Old Mrs. Mason’s choice served as a lesson. Most of those old men were the pirs of the capital’s major families, loyal to Prince Roscoe. If Prince Roscoe used any means to achieve his goal, disregarding their lives, he might provoke them and fall into a dangerous situation surrounded by enemies!


    So! “No!” Prince Roscoe shook his head without hesitation and said in a deep voice, “If we do that, even if we kill Fergus Archer, who will stop those bastards outside when they rush in? You? Or me???” Prince Adam was speechless! Yeah! Their enemies today were not just Fergus Archer alone. Prince Ashby, with thirty-two Complete Stage old men watching closely, was the most troublesome issue! Killing Fergus Archer could only solve a temporary problem! However, if they lost the eighteen old men in front of them, they would all bembs to the ughter for Prince Ashby!


    “But…” Seeing the old men in the battle circle falling one after another, some losing their lives under Fergus Archer’s bone-crushing hammer, Prince Lird on the other side was getting impatient. He said with a dark face, “At least try to find a remedy! If this continues! Even if they don’t die under our hidden weapons, they will likely be souls under Fergus Archer’s hammer! By then! We still won’t escape disaster!!!”


    Prince Lird naturally understood Prince Roscoe’s concerns. But the key was, even if the eighteen Complete Stage old men joined forces, they might not be able to withstand Fergus Archer’s violent attacks! Dying together with Fergus Archer would at least make their deaths somewhat worthwhile! Being killed by Fergus Archer… Damn it! That would be a wasted death, and by then, Prince Roscoe and the others would face the dual pressure of Fergus Archer and Prince Ashby, leaving them with no way out!!!


    “Wait!” Prince Roscoe’s face was ashen, his eyes extremely serious, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “Just wait a little longer!” Wait??? Prince Adam and Prince Lird exchanged nces, not understanding what Prince Roscoe was nning in his heart. What exactly was he waiting for?


    In fact! Prince Roscoe was waiting! And he was gambling! He was waiting for Sean, waiting for Sean to appear! He bet! Sean woulde!!! Fergus Archer and Prince Ashby had tried to kidnap Sean’s wife and daughter before, and Sean had retaliated, killing three of Fergus Archer’s top generals. The enmity between the two had reached an irreconcble point! So! From the beginning, Prince Roscoe believed that, based on Sean’s previous style and his vengeful nature, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity to kill Fergus Archer! Moreover! For a monster like Fergus Archer, perhaps only a freak like Sean could deal with him!


    What if!


    What if Sean just would note, and we lost the bet!


    Then…


    Prince Roscoe nced across the way at Prince Ashby and his group, who were standing confidently on the other side. A fierce, determined look shed in his eyes as he thought to himself: “Then let’s activate all the traps and hidden weapons in the mansion and have a mutual destruction!”


    Everyone!


    Let’s all go down together!


    After all!


    If I can’t have it, none of you can!


    Boom!


    Bang, bang, bang!


    In the brief two minutes that Prince Roscoe and his group hesitated, explosions sounded one after another. Apart from the old man who had already been smashed into a pancake by Fergus Archer’s bone-crushing hammer, seven more people had their bones crushed and were turned into mincemeat!


    Their deaths!


    One more tragic than the next!


    The powerful team of eighteen Complete Stage cultivators had nearly half of them die in the blink of an eye, leaving only ten people alive. Among them, four or five were seriously injured, theirbat power in question!


    In contrast!


    Fergus Archer’s robust dark energy seemed inexhaustible. Like a ferocious, irritable beast, he grew stronger with each battle, his murderous aura and intimidating presence showing no signs of weakening!


    Even!


    It was still climbing!


    “Go to hell!” he roared like a tiger’s growl. The bone-crushing hammer tore through the air and struck an old man in the chest, not even giving him a chance to fly backward!


    Bang!!!


    The already heavily injured body burst open on the spot!


    Blood and flesh sttered!


    It was like a red firework scattering in all directions!


    Damn it!


    The remaining nine Complete Stage cultivators were left with ashen faces, their courage and guts to continue fighting gone. The extreme fear of death left their minds nk, causing them to abandon all their concerns and retreat together, leaving what seemed like a meat grinder of a battlefield!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…


    Everyone!


    They all retreated to Prince Roscoe’s side!


    The dozens of dark energy cultivators below the Complete Stage in the back were so scared that some had wet their pants, drenched in cold sweat, their hearts and legs trembling uncontrobly!


    Initially!


    They were just gathered to be cannon fodder!


    But now!


    They suddenly realized that with their strength below the Complete Stage, they didn’t even qualify to be cannon fodder!


    How ironic!


    How absurd!


    “Come on!”


    “Kill me!”


    “My spirits just got up, and you idiots are running away! What a bunch of cowards!”


    “Wimps!”


    Fergus Archer, holding his bone-crushing hammer, was soaked in blood from head to toe. It was as if he had taken a bath in blood, with others’ blood and his own. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth!


    Even!


    He picked up a piece of flesh hanging on his belt and put it straight into his mouth!


    Fergus Archer!


    South Forest Lord Archer!


    Barbarian leader!


    Living next to the South Forest, he spent his days with the poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the forest, drinking their blood and eating their flesh. Once he wentpletely mad, his cruelty was beyond the imagination of ordinary people!


    In his eyes!


    These so-called Complete Stage cultivators were no different from those poisonous insects and fierce beasts!


    All kible!


    All edible!


    The nine old men who retreated to Prince Roscoe’s side had faces full of despair. They said solemnly, “Your Highness, we can’t do this!”


    “We’ll cover you!”


    “Let’s retreat!”


    Things had developed far beyond their expectations and control. Faced with the monster Fergus Archer, they could think of no other solution but to run for their lives!


    At this point!


    Prince Ashby, who had been standing on the other side, finally spoke!


    “Retreat?”


    “Heh, heh!”


    “I’m afraid it’s not that easy!”


    A faint smile hung on Prince Ashby’s face, and his eyebrows were filled with a look of smugness. He pretended to sigh and said, “If it were any other crime, perhaps I could forgive some, considering the deep bond between brothers!”


    “But!”


    “The crime of deceiving the emperor and undermining his authority, as well as the dignity of the royal family, is too grave. Even if I, as your elder brother, want to help, my heart is willing, but my strength is not enough!”


    “So…”


    “My dear brothers!”


    “Everyone outside is on my side; you can’t escape. Listen to my advice: it’s not toote to kneel and surrender now. When our father returns, I’ll put in a good word for you. Perhaps, you’ll be able to die a little more painlessly then…”


    His words sounded righteous, but they were extremely grating to the ears, filled with a thick malice of kicking someone when they’re down!


    Kneel!


    Surrender???


    How could a dignified prince endure such humiliation???


    Seeing Prince Roscoe and others with cold eyes, silent, Prince Ashby shrugged helplessly, “If you’re unwilling to surrender willingly, then…”


    “Hehe!”


    With that!


    He turned to Fergus Archer, signaling, “Then I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble Lord Archer to act against his kin, and personally force your father-inw to confess and submit to thew!”


    As soon as the words fell!


    Fergus Archer took a step forward, carrying a bone-crushing hammer, like the Grim Reaper, heading straight for Prince Adam!


    Prince Adam’s heart shattered!


    And Prince Roscoe!


    He nced around, took a deep breath, and cursed Sean for not showing up yet.


    Wasn’t he going to show up?


    Had they lost this round?


    In Prince Roscoe’s hand was a small device the size of a cigarette pack with a red button on it. It was the master switch for all the hidden weapons in Prince Adam’s mansion!


    Once activated!


    The entire mansion would be destroyed in an instant, and none of these people in the mansion right now would escape!


    Everyone would die!


    Including!


    Himself!!!
