Gao Ying and Pei You stared at him as well. Even if they were going to die, they wanted to understand why.
That person chuckled and removed his mask. "As expected of the crown princess. You can remain calm even in this kind of situation."
"Shi Tong!" The others already recognized who this person was. This was the one with the highest cultivation among the Shi clan’s younger generation. He had previously assud the post of Fire Cry Officer. However, he had been stripped of his post after the matter of Sharky beating him.
"Why are you here!?" Catherine cried out in alarm. After all, this person should have been in the imperial prison right now!
"It’s all thanks to King George who gave another chance. Otherwise, how would I be able to get revenge for the Shi clan?" Shi Tong’s face warped as he spoke. "You whore, our Shi clan was originally a brilliant and glorious clan, a first-rate clan in the capital. It was all because of you that my sixth brother was mistakenly killed, so we had no choice but to carry this death grudge against the Eastern Palace."
"We suffered failure again and again, and now, even though his majesty hasn’t completely dealt with our Shi clan, that’s only because of our death pardoning token. However, all of us understand that his majesty definitely won’t spare the Shi clan. All of this was because of you!"
"Huh, a little beaten down worm has so much courage. Then how much courage do you need to regain your fear from my brother," Catherine said disdainfully to him, and looked backwards, "Sharky, how much longer are you just going to sit and watch this drama for?!"
The others were shocked when they heard the crown princess’ words. Gao Ying and Pei You’s eyes lit up. If Sharky ca, everyone would have a chance of surviving.
A clear and bright voice rang out. "What can I say? I didn’t expect this drama to be so interesting! Of course I should take the ti to watch it properly."
"Sharky!" Shi Tong turned around with gritted teeth when he heard this voice. Flas were almost erupting from his eyes.
Sharky used this chance to arrive at Catherine’s side and help her up into a seated position. "How are your injuries?"
"It’s not too bad." Catherine felt warm inside.
Gao Ying and Pei You felt resentful. The crown princess’ injuries are obviously the lightest! Can’t you tell that we’re on the verge of dying here?
"And you Shi Tong, it looks like you have forgotten the lesson, which I have teached you. It’s okay, now is the ti to rember it again," Sharky chuckled.
"I will not lose to you again..."
Sharky had already moved halfway through Shi Tong’s sentence, closing the gap almost instantly.
How is he so fast?! Shi Tong felt a chill and quickly thought of raising his hands to stop the other party. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Sharky’s fist had already slamd straight into his face. In that instant, the flesh on his face felt mushy and his entire face warped. As his body flew through the air, he scread miserably. A line of blood decorated the sky, as well as so broken teeth.
Sharky pulled back his fist, wiping away the blood on it disdainfully. "Rember it, you are always an ant."
The Gu clan brothers were so shocked their jaws almost dropped to the floor. They quickly ran out to help Shi Tong, asking, "General Shi, what are you going to do now?"
"Get lost!" Shi Tong flung the two of them away in annoyance. Then, he quickly stood back up and glared at Sharky.
But his nose was now a bit crooked, and his face was covered in blood. Because of the loss of a few teeth, his mouth also looked a bit sunken. His current appearance was as comical as it could get.
While their minds were wandering, Sharky and Shi Tong had already collided once more. It was a simple back and forth with punches and kicks. There were no techniques or tricks involved.
"Is that all?!" Shi Tong suddenly laughed in contempt. He hadn’t dared to act arrogantly at first, but after going at it for a round, he discovered that even though his opponent was strong, it was still within his expectations. Furthermore, it didn’t seem as if his skills were that proficient. "I’m not going to play around with you anymore. Just die!"
Suddenly, a huge noise resounded. A body flew outward and slamd into the ground.
"Sharky..." Catherine was in utter panic. She was about to rush over, but she froze after taking a single step. The one who had crashed into the ground wasn’t Sharky, but rather Shi Tong.
What was going on?
Forget about her, even the Gu clan brothers who had been about to cheer out were stupefied. Even Shi Tong was in disbelief as he exclaid, "How can this be?!"
Sharky slowly walked out from the smoke and dust. "No matter how many tis I tell you, it’s like you don’t understand. You are just an ant, now it is ti for the ga to end."
Shi Tong sneered. Whether or not things will end isn’t for you to decide. Once my tornado forms, not a single blade of grass will remain within a range of a dozen li.
However, his expression suddenly froze, because he discovered that he seed to have lost his connection with the wind elent. Furthermore, he felt extrely cold.
Why are there snowflakes? Shi Tong was stunned when he saw snowflakes fall. Why would it snow in the dungeon during this season? He wants to hide from it.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. The small-scale tornado seed to have been frozen still by the cold. There was a layer of frost that covered his body as well.
Then, a flash of cold light flickered. He heard a crack, as if sothing had shattered. Then, he saw a headless body standing nearby like a sculpture. Huh? Why do those clothes look a bit familiar?
Soon afterward, he realized what had happened. Then, darkness filled his consciousness. The last thought in his mind was, How can his power be so great...?
Catherine saw that Shi Tong’s ultimate skill was completely frozen. Then, a sad and beautiful slash flickered out, and Shi Tong’s head tumbled away.
But the attack didn’t stop here, and with the next mont, Sharky raised his finger. Two blasts of wind fired out.
How could the Gu clan brothers avoid the attacks of soone at the ninth rank? Blood erupted from their chest as they fell to the ground.
Gu Heng felt as if his soul had left his body. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, we brothers know that we’re undoubtedly dead, but you all shouldn’t be happy so early. Do you think you can win? We’re only heading into the afterlife ahead of you all. We’ll et again soon."
The two of them slit their own throats as soon as Gu Heng finished speaking. The reason they were so decisive was because they knew that they would undoubtedly be dead. As such, rather than being tortured and interrogated, they would rather have an easier death.
Catherine was stunned. She hadn’t expected the two of them to be so decisive.
However, Catherine quickly snapped out of her daze and looked at Sharky. "What did they an with their final words?"
Gao Ying said, "It might be just a curse out of resentnt. There were only so many people who ca with us this ti. Shi Tong and the others have already exposed themselves; King George shouldn’t have been able to send in another expert, right? Otherwise, the rest of us might as well just slit our own throats and just end it all."
Catherine nodded. "Indeed. Everyone involved in this trip was selected carefully, and all of them have undergone strict background checks. The fact that Shi Tong was able to get in was already sothing extrely unlikely; it should have been impossible for anyone else to sneak in. After all, sothing that can deceive the cultivation asuring device isn’t that easy to find."
What they said made sense. The emperor and the other experts of the crown prince’s faction weren’t idiots. How could they possibly leave such a huge gap to exploit in their plans?
Gao Ying revealed a rare smile. "Also, even if there’s a problem with Sir Sharky here, it’ll be easily solved."
Even Shi Tong, who was at the peak of the eighth rank, had easily been killed by Sharky. Gao Ying really couldn’t imagine what kind of danger he couldn’t deal with.
Fengi shared similar thoughts. She looked at Sharky and said, "Thank you."
Sharky chuckled, "Don’t worry, I will solve everything here."
The two of them looked at each other just like that. The mood gradually beca a bit strange.
"Ahem..." Gao Ying coughed lightly. "Brother Pei might not be able to hold on much longer."
He actually wanted to say that he himself might not be able to hold on much longer. The two of you are looking at each other so passionately; do we not exist anymore to you two?
Catherine imdiately snapped out of her daze. She rushed over to check on Pei You.
Sharky also followed her. Pei You had suffered Shi Tong’s blow just now, and even his chest had caved in; he had clearly suffered a serious injury. The fact that he could hold on until now was a reflection of his powerful will.
Catherine quickly took out a few pills and fed them to Pei You. His complexion beca a bit better, but his injury still didn’t show any signs of recovering.
"His injuries are too serious; I fear..." Catherine couldn’t help but beco sad.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t reached the seventh rank yet. Otherwise, seventh rank cultivators would at least be able to survive with their regenerative ability.
Sharky nodded. He then took out a pill from his inner pocket and said, "Give this pill a try."
He fed Pei You the pill, and then infused his ki into the other party’s body to help him absorb the dicine’s effects, and also to treat his wounded internal organs, bones, and other parts.
Pei You circulated the remaining ki in his body together with Sharky. A while later, his eyes widened in shock. "I think it’s working. Sir Sharky, isn’t your dicine a bit too incredible?"
Catherine was shocked. She quickly checked Pei You’s pulse and sensed that his injuries had actually stabilized. Furthermore, judging from his recovery speed, as long as this treatnt continued, his life was practically guaranteed.
"It’s good that it worked." Sharky sighed in relief. This was the Soul Return Pill he had gotten from Ji Dengtu back then. It was known to be able to bring even the dead back to life.
Then, he arrived at Gao Xing’s side. Comparatively speaking, his injuries were a bit lighter. As such, Sharky brought out so dicine Qin Youzhao had given him earlier and had Gao Ying take it.
"Thanks." Gao Ying quickly sat down to ditate. His aura gradually stabilized as well.
Catherine arrived in front of Sharky. She gave him a curious look and asked, "Where did you get your dicine from? It seems to be even better than the imperial hospital’s."
"From a middle-aged doctor." Sharky was actually quite shocked as well. He had thought that Ji Dengtu was only a divine physician in Brightmoon City. He hadn’t expected that fellow to be better than even the imperial palace’s doctors.
Catherine rushed over to wake everyone up. These people had been knocked unconscious because of the Gu clan brothers’ drug, so they wouldn’t wake up from a normal call. However, she was quite prepared for this trip and had all sorts of antidotes. She woke up the Eastern Palace’s guards first, and then had them wake up everyone else.
Soon afterward, Zhao Xi, ng Pan, Liu Xian, and the others woke up. They were shocked when they saw the scene there.
Catherine gave them a recount of everything that had happened.
Piao Duandiao carried Shi Tong’s corpse over and asked, "Crown princess, what do we do with Shi Tong’s corpse?"
"Toss it into the wilderness to feed the wild dogs," Catherine said coldly. It was clear that what had happened left her feeling extrely disgusted.
Then, all of the other young masters offered the precious gifts they had on them to Sharky to express their apology.
There was no other choice. When they learned that Sharky had just killed an expert at the peak of the eighth rank, the six ranks of cultivation that they had originally been imnsely proud of seed completely worthless.
