If Eric Carter knew that Emily Cooper called him a little beggar in her heart, he would definitely cough up blood.

　　“What’s it to you?” Eric Carter rolled his eyes, while his mind started working quickly.

　　If he killed Henry Clark, he could return to the capital openly!

　　His cheap father hated Henry Clark the most. Eric Carter could absolutely use Henry Clark’s head to atone for his crimes and even win the emperor’s favor!

　　“What kind of attitude is that!” Emily Cooper was, after all, the daughter of the Sect Master of Xuanling Sect. When had she ever been treated so rudely?

　　Of course, Henry Clark didn’t count—he wasn’t even human!

　　Seeing his little junior sister being bullied, David Cooper immediately shouted angrily, “Kid, are you looking for death, do you know that?”

　　Even though Eric Carter’s face was dirty, he could still tell that Eric Carter was either younger or at most the same age as him, and Grace Bennett was clearly just a young girl.

　　As a genius of Xuanling Sect, he didn’t believe that Eric Carter and his companion were stronger than him.

　　In his eyes, Eric Carter was just bragging in front of Grace Bennett.

　　A Golden Core expert under twenty? David Cooper had never heard of such a thing. There was no way Eric Carter and his companion could be a match for the veteran Golden Core expert Henry Clark.

　　“Junior sister, let’s go! Don’t follow them to their deaths!” David Cooper hurriedly turned to Emily Cooper.

　　“Go? Do you think you can leave?”

　　At that moment, a domineering shout rang out under the night sky. A burly figure suddenly leapt out from the woods opposite them.

　　Eric Carter turned and looked closely. Now that he had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, his eyesight was far beyond ordinary, and he could see the newcomer’s appearance at a glance.

　　It was a burly man, clad in battered iron armor, both arms raised high holding a long saber. His muscles were as solid as a coiled dragon, visually striking. With a boom, the man landed on the grass across the lake, the ground sinking beneath his feet. His messy black hair whipped in the wind, and his fierce face was marked by a pair of leopard-like eyes, filled with murderous light.

　　A Golden Core expert, the most powerful rogue general of the Qianyue Kingdom—Henry Clark!

　　“We’re doomed…”

　　David Cooper’s legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, completely losing the bearing of a genius disciple.

　　Emily Cooper was also pale with fear, trembling all over, utterly terrified.

　　Eric Carter, on the other hand, curiously sized up Henry Clark. Goodness, he was definitely over two meters tall!

　　Compared to those bodybuilders from Europe and America in his previous life, he was just as impressive, if not more so. That huge saber was over three meters long—if it struck a person, it would surely kill in one blow.

　　“Brute.”

　　Grace Bennett glanced coldly at Henry Clark. Whether in strength or appearance, Henry Clark clearly didn’t meet her standards.

　　At the same time, Henry Clark noticed Grace Bennett. His leopard eyes widened, and he muttered, “What a beautiful woman!”

　　The next second, the surprise in his eyes turned to lust.

　　Such a beauty must be his!

　　“Keep staring, and I’ll gouge out your eyes!”

　　Grace Bennett said coldly, making Eric Carter speechless. As expected of a demoness straight out of Investiture of the Gods—truly ruthless!

　　Henry Clark actually laughed. He strolled toward Eric Carter and his companion, walking across the lake as if on solid ground. As he walked, he teased, “Beauty, come and gouge my eyes out if you dare!”

　　We’re dead!

　　David Cooper couldn’t help but close his eyes. Facing the Golden Core Henry Clark, he knew that even if he tried to run, there was no hope.

　　Emily Cooper instinctively hid behind Eric Carter, clutching his shoulders tightly. She had wanted to grab her senior brother, but unfortunately, he was already cowering on the ground.

　　At this moment, she suddenly heard Eric Carter mutter, “Golden Core… If I kill him, I wonder how much experience I’ll get…”

Chapter 5: Summoning Howling Celestial Dog

　　Experience points?

　　What’s that?

　　The simple-minded Emily Cooper was distracted by Eric Carter’s words, and her fear lessened considerably.

　　The calm aura radiating from Eric Carter and Grace Bennett made her inexplicably feel at ease.

　　“Beauty, tonight I’ll let you taste something wonderful!”

　　As Henry Clark approached Grace Bennett, he said things that made Emily Cooper blush. Eric Carter couldn’t help but roll his eyes—this guy was really asking for it.

　　He looked at Grace Bennett. That stunningly beautiful face was now covered in frost. He quickly said, “Leave him alive—I want to deal with him myself!”

　　“Alright!”

　　As soon as Grace Bennett finished speaking, she moved—her speed as swift as a startled swan. With a single palm strike, neither Eric Carter, Emily Cooper, nor Henry Clark could follow her movements.

　　Bang!

　　Henry Clark was sent flying like a sandbag, soaring dozens of meters away and crashing through several trees. Eric Carter’s mouth twitched, and Emily Cooper gaped in shock.

　　David Cooper was startled by the loud noise and opened his eyes, but he could no longer see Henry Clark.

　　Grace Bennett quickly darted into the woods, and the ground began to shake. Clearly, Grace Bennett and Henry Clark had started a fierce battle.

　　“You wretched woman! I’ll kill you!”

　　Henry Clark’s furious roar echoed through the night like a demon’s howl.

　　A blade of energy shot up from the woods, piercing the night sky. The scene was spectacular, making Eric Carter’s eyes burn with excitement.

　　He wanted to have such power too!

　　Behind him, Emily Cooper was dumbfounded. That stunning woman was actually so strong!

　　David Cooper couldn’t help but slap himself, the pain on his face confirming that he wasn’t dreaming.
