The words suddenly stopped, as Adam Carter abruptly charged forward. His entire figure resembled a saber-toothed tiger in full sprint, crashing ahead. Not only was his movement swift, but his momentum was also overwhelmingly fierce.
In just an instant, he had crossed over thirty feet.
Harold Stone himself remained motionless, but from the rooftop and the doorways and windows behind him, more than twenty crossbows suddenly appeared. Cold light flashed, bowstrings twanged with a ‘buzz’, and iron bolts shot out, whistling sharply through the night air.
Three-armed heavy crossbows!
Adam Carter drew in a sharp breath, but fortunately, he had already anticipated that those lying in ambush in his house could not possibly be just Harold Stone alone, so he had reserved some strength in advance.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, both hands striking forward rapidly as his body twisted suddenly. Using his bracers, he managed to forcibly deflect three of the crossbow bolts. Then, with an incredible contortion, he forced his way through the web of arrows.
His speed increased again, and before the second volley of bolts could be fired, he was already in front of Harold Stone.
Besides himself, he still had more than a dozen brothers who had once lived and died together with him, who needed to keep making a living in this world. Since he was doomed to die, why not do something good for his brothers?
Harold Stone was the pillar of the Green Robe Hall. If this man died, what right would the remaining rats have to dominate a street? Without Harold Stone, the Green Robe Hall wouldn’t even be able to survive half a day in Yue City, let alone take revenge!
In the shadows of Yue City, there were countless vicious dogs, waiting to devour anyone they could. At the slightest sign of weakness, they would swarm like bloodthirsty sharks.
So even though there were four marrow-refining experts here, he didn’t hesitate at all and chose to go after the strongest, Harold Stone!
Subduing Dragon, Taming Tiger—Dragon Shaking Form!
As his fist struck out, explosive bursts of air sounded all around Adam Carter, faintly echoing with the roar of a dragon.
“So you’ve already mastered the Dragon’s Roar. No wonder my brother died at your hands!”
Harold Stone moved as well, neither dodging nor evading, but stepping forward and punching directly. His muscles bulged, his force as fierce as a wild beast!
When their fists collided, the ground beneath them shattered into pieces of mud and stone. Harold Stone’s massive body was actually pushed back half a step. Yet his bowl-sized fist, clashing head-on with the armor-piercing spike on Adam Carter’s hand, was not injured in the slightest.
Adam Carter paused for only half a breath before his left fist flashed out again.
Dragon Thrust!
The punch came from beneath his ribs, both hands as if gripping a giant python. A faint dragon-shaped force seemed to flow around his body.
In an instant, he exploded with power, the momentum even greater than before. The dragon’s roar sounded even more majestic and desolate.
Harold Stone’s expression grew grave, and he no longer spoke. Instead, he steadied himself and struck out with another punch.
The Golden Armor Profound Body was not just a hardening technique, but also increased his strength. He had practiced this art for twenty years, and his full strength could match that of two oxen! Yet just now, using eighty percent of his power, he had almost failed to withstand the force of Adam Carter’s punch!
But when their fists collided again, Harold Stone was startled. The force of the punch seemed to hit nothing, with no resistance at all.
At that moment, Adam Carter’s figure suddenly slid backward, using Harold Stone’s full force to crash into the brick wall behind him.
In a flash, Harold Stone realized Adam Carter’s intention, his eyes showing a mocking look: “Trying to escape?”
The ‘Green Hook’ Edward Lewis, who had been running swiftly across the rooftop, burst out laughing at the sight. With a sudden stomp of his right foot, a large section of the roof collapsed beneath him.
Edward Lewis’s entire body dropped into the house below. If Adam Carter didn’t break through the wall, it would be fine. But if he entered, he’d be walking right into his own death.
“Fool! So much for the so-called Green Hook Edward Lewis—that’s all you’ve got—”
Adam Carter chuckled lightly. In the final instant as he neared the wall, his movement suddenly slowed. His feet tapped the wall, his body contracted and expanded, and like an arrow released from a bow, he left a trail of afterimages in the night sky.
In the distance, ‘Axe Butcher’ Henry Ford and ‘Wind Blade’ Jack Grant, who had been closing in, suddenly froze, hesitation in their eyes.
Without Edward Lewis’s hook and chain, none of the three here—including Harold Stone—were confident they could trap Adam Carter.
They feared that Adam Carter was feinting, trying to lure them away from their positions.
Even Harold Stone’s gaze flickered with surprise.
That tiger-like figure once again dodged the rain of arrows, leaping toward them.
A fierce, indescribable aura rushed at him, shaking his spirit. Those vicious eyes were filled with boundless killing intent!
His instincts screamed that Adam Carter was going all out, risking his life to kill him here, even at the cost of his own.
But he also worried that Adam Carter was just putting on a show, planning to escape after forcing him back.
After a brief thought, Harold Stone still stood his ground, not yielding an inch. So what if it was a desperate fight? His Golden Armor Profound Body was least afraid of direct combat.
As the fist came at him, the force swirling around Adam Carter’s body coiled and twisted like a giant serpent. At the tip of his fist, it was as if the head of a dragon was forming.
Harold Stone’s expression was solemn. Just as the dragon’s roar reached its peak, he swung his massive hand with all his might. His hand was twice the size of a normal person’s, and when his five fingers closed together, it was like a great blade. As he swung, a sharp whistling sound and a powerful force surged forth, even more formidable than a real weapon!
