Connor’s sudden death attracted the attention of many people around him.
Connor was the son of a gold-tier adventurer. He was killed just like that.
Not far away, the old man and the young man who were talking earlier also looked this way.
“Why did you kill Connor?!” Moss asked with a gloomy face.
Laylen found Moss’s question somewhat ridiculous.
Their men had already joined forces and attacked his father, which made them enemies. What other reason did Laylen need to kill him?
Laylen did not answer Moss’s question. Instead, he grinned and said, “You’re next.”
At Laylen’s words, Moss’ hair instantly stood on end. He had a bad premonition. He did not dare to think too much. He hurriedly mobilized all the magic power in his body and transferred it to his palm. Moss’ palm was instantly surrounded by a grayish-white fog.
Moss had activated his magic. The fog turned into some white bones and grabbed at Laylen’s chest.
Laylen had a confident smile on his face. He did not even dodge. In the entire empire, there was no one of the same tier who could defeat him, let alone someone of tier 1.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Moss’ wrist.
When he reached Moss, Laylen felt a force stirring from Moss, as he wanted to shake his hand away.
Laylen smiled slightly. He withdrew his strength and the sound of bones cracking rang out.
The place where Moss was grabbed by him was immediately shattered into pieces.
Moss’ face immediately contorted under extreme pain. However, the white fog wrapped around his palm surged up crazily and spread to Laylen’s entire arm. The white fog followed the pores on Laylen’s arm and entered his body.
“Hahaha! You’re dead meat!” Moss’ face revealed a sinister smile.
He had been exposed to death-type magic since he was young and had continuously extracted and comprehended the intent of death from dead objects. His death-type magic could even make people of a higher tier than him fall before him. Even a tier 4 expert might die by his hands if caught off guard.
Moreover, Laylen was at most an intermediate tier 3 expert, not even a tier 4 one.
As Moss spoke, Laylen’s arm, which had been touched by the white fog, began to turn black, showing signs of necrosis. Moreover, the necrosis was rapidly taking over Laylen’s entire body.
“That’s all you got? Don’t embarrass yourself,” Laylen sneered. Then, he worked his magic, and the magic power in his body began to move. Like the healing light of the goddess of life, it emitted a gentle light which surged into the arm that had been invaded by the death intent.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle —
Laylen’s arm began to emit burning white smoke. It was the death intent that had been dispelled by the purification. After the white fog passed, when he looked over, Laylen’s arm had completely returned to its normal appearance.
“How is this possible?!”
Seeing that Laylen was unharmed, Moss’ eyes were filled with disbelief.
“Ha… you have no idea what power is!”
Laylen said. At the same time, he reached out his left hand and grabbed Moss’ throat. Flames rose up, and as he crushed Moss’ throat, it was also burnt black.
Then, he released his hand, and Moss’ body collapsed on the ground.
The audience at the side was already in a mess.
The guards around recognized the two dead. One was the son of a gold-tier adventurer, and the other was the son of the Duke family.
These two people had backing from people who were at the peak of power in Vader City.
Who was this young man? He was so arrogant. Was he really not afraid of death?
After killing the two, Laylen was about to turn around and leave, but the voice behind him made him stop.
“Young man, killing people in our arena, are you trying to make us take the blame?”
Laylen turned around and saw that it was the old man and the young man who were talking earlier. The old man stared at him with an invisible pressure. It enveloped the entire audience hall.
“Don’t meddle in other people’s business,” Laylen glanced at the old man and said indifferently.
“Hahaha, how dare you talk to me like that!”
The old man was so angry that he laughed instead. The arena behind him did not include gold-level adventurers and the Duke family. If those two died, so be it. However, what made the old man unhappy was that someone dared to kill his guests in his territory!
The old man’s body turned into a black shadow and appeared in front of Laylen. He reached out a dry hand to grab Laylen’s neck, trying to crush it.
However, Laylen’s speed was not slow either. With a flash of afterimages, he easily evaded the old man’s hand and appeared in a corner.
The old man’s eyes narrowed.
He had never thought that Laylen could be so fast. After all, he was at the initial stage of Tier 4 and was one of the people in charge of this arena.
He was a whole tier higher than the young man in front of him.
Since he could not catch the other party, it meant that the other party must have learned some kind of extremely high-level movement technique.
At the thought of this, the old man stopped where he was and stared at Laylen. An invisible spiritual power was extracted from his mind and instantly invaded Laylen’s consciousness.
When a human reached tier 4, they would be able to condense mental power and use it to attack.
In an instant, Laylen felt as if his brain had been pierced by thousands of needles.
He endured the pain and revealed a sinister smile. “Old man, are you trying to bully the weak?”
Then, he flipped his palm and took out an exquisite pitch-black dagger from his interspatial ring.
Laylen grabbed the dagger and slashed forward. The blade of the dagger flashed with a bright light as if it had cut through some invisible spiritual medium.
“Puff.”
After his spiritual power was cut, the old man suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“This is a lesson. Don’t meddle in other people’s business in the future!” Laylen glared at the old man and turned to leave the arena.
As he walked, his face began to change again.
It turned into a handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
In the arena, the young man next to the old man asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
The young man’s heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
He did not expect that a mere guy at the intermediate stage of tier 3 would have a weapon that could cut off spiritual power.
“I’m fine.” The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and calmed the surging energy in his body. He asked in surprise, “Were those two people calling him Laylen before they died?”
“Yes,” The young man nodded.
“Laylen is the son of the mayor. Six years ago, he mysteriously disappeared because he didn’t have any magical talent. I didn’t expect him to become so powerful after coming back this time. He probably has a weapon that can cut off spiritual power.” The old man was shocked.
“These few years when he disappeared, he must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter.”
“It’s possible.”The old man nodded. “Connor and Paul are both at tier 2, but they have no power whatsoever to go up against him. This shows that Laylen’s true strength is far beyond them. It seems that with Laylen around, it will be difficult for these people to seize the position of mayor.”
After a pause, the old man continued, “Should I go and apologize to him? After all, I had used my spiritual power to attack him just now.”
“There’s no need,” the young man said. “No matter how powerful he is, he’s not worthy of your apology. Attacking others in our territory is equivalent to not giving face to the Gabriel family.”
Hearing this, the old man’s heart relaxed slightly.
Laylen might be someone with considerable influence and power, but the Gabriel family was also not to be trifled with.
