The opponent was too strong. This time, the attacking enemy had completely calculated the strength of James Carter's side. Even with Evelyn Green joining, the overall situation was far from optimistic.

Weren't the pursuers still quite a distance away?

These people must have been lying in ambush here for a long time.

Seeing the situation on the field clearly, James Carter knew this was very dangerous. The enemy's strength had multiplied, the pursuers behind were just a feint, and this ambush force was the real attacking power.

Scanning this area carefully, James Carter no longer paid attention to the situation on the field.

This was a key node of the spiritual vein!

James Carter discovered that the place he was currently standing was a crucial node of the "trace of yang energy" spiritual vein, where the spiritual energy was extremely strong.

With his spiritual eye, he saw that all the spiritual energy in this area was converging toward this central point, and the abundant energy was hidden beneath the surface.

If he didn't possess the spiritual eye, how could he have so easily discovered this place where spiritual energy gathered!

It seemed he now possessed a heaven-defying ability!

In fact, what James Carter didn't know was that this ability was no longer the inherited spiritual eye technique from his family. After crossing over, his spiritual eye technique was no longer something that could be cultivated by the family method. He only discovered this after several experiments.

Glancing at the ongoing battle, James Carter took out a large saber and, channeling his true energy, began digging downward at the spiritual node.

Stones and dirt flew everywhere.

"Your Highness, you can't hide underground either. We should prepare to break out!" Seeing James Carter's actions, Lucy Clark thought he was digging a tunnel to hide in and hurriedly reminded him.

The protective shield on the cloth was shaking violently from the attacks, and Lucy Clark kept channeling streams of true energy into the shield.

Several enemy experts were fiercely attacking the shield.

Having always regarded His Highness as a coward, Lucy Clark felt deeply saddened to see James Carter doing this in the midst of such a fierce battle.

For these maidservants, the life and death of His Highness was closely tied to their own. If His Highness lived, they could live; if he died, they would die as well.

After all, with cultivation at the second level of Qingyun, James Carter's digging speed was extremely fast, and he quickly reached the center of the spiritual energy.

A surge of spiritual energy rushed toward him, and James Carter felt a sense of exhilaration throughout his body.

Such abundant spiritual energy!

"Quick, escort His Highness out!" Samuel Cooper was already bleeding profusely, and several guards had died. He knew the enemy was far too powerful this time, and their side could not hold them off.

"Haha, keep it up, they're finished!" A masked man laughed as he commanded his men to surround James Carter and the others.

"We can't break out!" William Harper sighed. The enemy had come fully prepared, and the ambush was perfectly executed. Now everyone was surrounded, and he realized that the chances of escape were almost zero.

At this moment, Evelyn Green was also sent flying back by a punch from the opponent.

All kinds of protective shields had been set up, but everyone knew this was only a temporary defense. The leader of the enemy was a top-tier expert; as long as he was present, there was no hope of survival.

This top-tier expert had only made one move—he punched Evelyn Green once, and the force of that punch knocked Evelyn Green down, leaving her motionless for a long time.

This was a deadly trap set long ago. The pursuers behind were not the real threat; the true strength lay in these dozens of people, especially the top-tier expert leading them.

"Swear to protect His Highness to the death!" Thomas Baker shouted, his large saber dancing in a blur of blade light.

"Swear to protect His Highness to the death!" The remaining people all shouted, desperately attacking the enemy.

A powerful momentum was ignited by everyone's shouts.

"I dropped a jade pendant in there. Can you help me get it out?" James Carter suddenly said to Samuel Cooper, who had blood at the corner of his mouth.

Such words were so out of place in this situation.

Stunned, Samuel Cooper saw a hole that James Carter had dug, and sure enough, there was a jade pendant lying on the ground in the middle.

He sighed inwardly. Even at this point, His Highness was still like this. He really didn't know if they could make it out alive this time.

Though he thought this, he coughed, more blood flowing from his mouth, but the loyal Samuel Cooper still entered the hole and reached out to pick up the jade pendant.

It was just an ordinary jade pendant!

Seeing the pendant, Samuel Cooper sighed.

Suddenly, Samuel Cooper's mouth dropped open in shock.

The moment his hand touched the jade pendant, Samuel Cooper felt an extremely dense spiritual energy surge into his body.

At that moment, everyone saw a red light burst from the jade pendant and pour into Samuel Cooper's body.

Naturally, the cultivation technique Samuel Cooper had practiced for years began to operate rapidly on its own. He felt himself enter a mysterious state, his whole body instantly filled with an incredibly powerful force, and the feeling that his body was about to explode became even more intense.

True energy surged, and powerful force radiated in all directions...
