Not only that, even if the opponent’s sword had been a bit sharper, or if the blade hadn’t broken, he would still be dead for sure!

He was filled with shock and uncertainty, not knowing how Edward Carter had managed to unleash that sword strike, but his defeat was already an indisputable fact!

But he was not convinced, because in front of Lillian Carter, he couldn’t afford to lose face.

“You ambushed me! Shameless scoundrel, you don’t even understand the rules of swordsmanship. You call that a fair fight? Looks like your parents died too early and didn’t teach you properly!”

As Charles Carter spoke, his expression was vicious.

“Do you want to die?”

Edward Carter didn’t argue, he just asked a strange question. At that moment, Charles Carter suddenly saw the look in Edward Carter’s eyes—eyes as fierce as a wolf’s. If he said one more word, he was certain that even with Lillian Carter present, he would still be dead for sure.

“Heh, Edward Carter, I really underestimated you. You’ve mastered the fourth form of the Bihui Sword Technique? And you can even display a hint of the Wusheng Sword Dao’s essence. I have to admit, if you hadn’t pushed yourself to your limits, you wouldn’t be such a useless good-for-nothing.

But if you think that with just this bit of cultivation, you can act recklessly and strike ruthlessly at your own family, then I can be just as ruthless with you!

Considering your father contributed much to the family, if you kneel and admit your mistake, slap yourself, and abolish your own cultivation, then this matter will be settled!”

Lillian Carter’s voice was arrogant.

“Miss!”

At this moment, Sophie Carter couldn’t help but remind her, a bit unwillingly.

Her brother had suffered such serious injuries—how could that useless Edward Carter get away with it so easily?

“I know what I’m doing, you don’t need to say more.”

Lillian Carter waved her hand, stopping Sophie Carter from speaking, then her tone softened a bit: “Living as an ordinary person, you don’t need any cultivation. It’s actually a good thing for you, so don’t be ungrateful.”

“Hahaha, hahahahaha! Ridiculous!”

Edward Carter burst out laughing, a wild, explosive madness about to erupt!

Such unrestrained laughter brought a strange atmosphere to the deathly silent Canglan City.

“Is there anyone else in the Zhou family who wants to come out? If you have any tricks to deal with me, why send a bunch of useless people to force me? Do you know why my father gave me a statue? Because with it, he could destroy everything in the Zhou family! It’s a secret treasure!

Are you trying to force me into mutual destruction with you?”

Edward Carter roared in fury.

At this moment, he couldn’t possibly destroy everything just out of impulse.

His strength was not enough to fight Lillian Carter. Nor did he want to unleash his potential at this time.

He could already see that these people had gone completely mad! They would stop at nothing to achieve their goals!

Or perhaps, everything was a deliberate illusion created by those above, making it seem like the problem wasn’t with the higher-ups, but with those below, and had nothing to do with those at the top.

They even made it seem as if—they had tried their best to nurture him, but he just failed to live up to expectations, deliberately making him feel guilty.

Otherwise, with his talent, why did it feel like he was shackled? It must be… shackles and suppression, right?

At this moment, with Edward Carter’s state of mind, he finally couldn’t help but ‘explode’.

Shouting madly, he once again instantly struck out with his broken sword, slicing off half of Henry Carter’s face and one ear, causing Henry Carter to scream in agony the next moment.

This scene shocked everyone.

The more unrestrained Edward Carter became, the more apprehensive they felt.

“Ahhh—”

Henry Carter’s heart-wrenching, blood-curdling screams were chilling to the core.

His face was covered in crimson blood, his hands frantically wiping at it, his expression twisted in pain and terror, making everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.

Especially Penny, who felt as if she was seeing her young master for the first time—this was her young master protecting everything for her!

With her lowly status, how could she be worth such protection from her young master? With such a master, she felt that in this life, and the next, and for all eternity, it would be worth it to serve as a slave or servant!

Penny was filled with emotion, and at this moment, she suddenly made the firmest decision of her life—this lifetime, she would serve her young master well, even if it meant being smashed to pieces, even if her soul was scattered, she would not hesitate!

……

“Edward Carter, you are so reckless, so ruthless—you’ve already become an evil sword cultivator, do you know that? You’ve gone to extremes!”

Lillian Carter frowned deeply, a murderous intent already showing on her face.

“You useless trash, how dare you act so wildly in front of the young miss? Who gave you such courage?! You’re simply outrageous—”

Beside Lillian Carter, a woman with a somewhat long face shouted coldly.

She was Lillian Carter’s maid, Little Sue.

And at this moment, Edward Carter was still laughing wildly, but suddenly struck again.

With a hiss of the sword, he flicked his blade, and a streak of black light shot out like a venomous snake, instantly striking Little Sue at the neck.
