Alina was about to turn around and ask Sharky to help out, but she was surprised to find that she couldn’t see him at all. By the ti she turned around again, he was already holding Cassandra in his arms and standing in front of her.
Off to the side, Diana couldn’t help but say sarcastically, "I’ve never seen another hero rush to a beauty’s aid faster than this brat."
Charlotte nodded in deep sympathy. After watching for a while, she frowned and remarked, "Why do I feel as if the way Bluefield Country Lord looks at him is a bit strange?"
Diana rolled her eyes and retorted, "It would be hard for a woman to not feel anything if she were saved from the brink of death by a man. It’s not as if you’ve never experienced such a thing before, and your reaction was even stronger than hers. You still have the nerve to say that?"
Charlotte gritted her teeth and complained, "Witch, are you really going to go against in everything?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue again, Alina pressed her palm against her forehead. What she was more worried about at the mont was Sharky.
As if seeing through her worries, Diana said, "Relax, have so faith in our man."
Alina blushed a bit when she heard the words ’our man’. However, even a grandmaster like Diana was saying that, so she felt a bit more at ease.

anwhile, Lucas continued charging at Cassandra. He hadn’t expected her nine-tailed fox skill to suddenly break down. He wanted to stop himself, but it was already too late. He wasn’t at a sufficient level to stop his montum at this kind of juncture. If he forcefully tried to stop himself, he would instead injure himself seriously.
Even though he was a bit reluctant, compared to his own safety, who cared about a single woman? Since he couldn’t obtain her anyway, he’d personally destroy her. No one could think about obtaining her then. As such, not only did he not hold back, he instead pressed forward with even greater power.
Right at that mont, he saw a man take Cassandra into his embrace. The expression with which Cassandra looked at that man was completely different from the way she looked at him. He erupted with rage. He had already gone through so much, and yet in the end, he had actually ended up giving another person the opportunity to save a damsel in distress?
I’ve never even touched a finger of this Cassandra, and yet another man has actually hugged her?
Imdiately afterward, he saw that the other man was actually facing him with a single hand. He was so enraged that he actually laughed. Did this human lose his mind from trying to impress a woman?
Even if this human used all his strength, he still wouldn’t be able to handle a single blow from Lucas, and yet he dared to defend with just a single hand? Just where do you get your courage from?
He felt as if his pride as a mber of the Lion race had been trampled on. He decided to crush the man’s hand into mist, to make him howl in suffering and beg for forgiveness. Only then would he be able to vent out his anger.
However, what awaited him was a palm, a massive palm to the face.
Smack!
A loud and resounding noise echoed throughout the entire palace.
Lucas’s body was blown backward. He stabilized himself with difficulty, stars swirling in his eyes. What just happened?
Sharky didn’t pay him any attention and instead looked at Cassandra, asking, "Are you hurt?"
"I’m not," Cassandra replied. She turned a bit red when she sensed that familiar yet unfamiliar presence. When she rembered what this man had done to her last night, she couldn’t even bring herself to look at him.
In the distance, Diana said with a sneer, "This guy is back at it again with his skirt-chasing habits."
Charlotte didn’t say anything, but her face was completely emotionless.
Alina also sighed deeply. Sharky had acted like a proper nobleman for an entire day, but now, he had gone right back to his old habits.
A roar shook the heavens. Lucas cried, "You dare hit ?!" He finally snapped out of his daze. He was actually smacked in the face? How humiliating was that?!
He was more curious about sothing else. He was a master rank cultivator, so normally speaking, he should have been able to anticipate the moves of anyone under the master rank. Why had he not sensed anything just now, then?!
Sharky didn’t reply to him and instead waved his hand. Snowflakes swirled around, forming a curtain and covering up the frightened fox won. He said, "Go back and change your clothes for now. I’ll take care of this."
"Thank you, young master!" the fox won exclaid, looking at Sharky with expressions of gratitude. Rumors always said that they were usually the ones who toyed with the hearts of others, but they were still won. Being seen naked really left them rather hard-pressed.
Cassandra couldn’t help but raise her head to give Sharky a look. She was montarily distracted.
Diana nudged Charlotte with her elbow and remarked, "He’s using what you taught him to pick up girls."
Charlotte felt annoyed. She replied, "I wasn’t the one who taught him that; it was Isabelle."

Lucas roared, "This prince is speaking to you! Are you deaf?!"
Only then did Sharky turn back around. He shot back, "Do I have to answer just because you asked sothing? Who do you think you are?"
Lucas nearly choked. He said, "Good, good, good. It’s been a long ti since I’ve t soone this arrogant!"
Sharky retorted with a chuckle, "Wouldn’t you et one just by looking in a mirror?"
Lucas was speechless. The bit of domineering presence he had been piecing together again was almost instantly shattered.
"Very good. Let’s see if your skills are as tough as your mouth," he eventually said with a sneer. He thought that he must have been careless just then, and decided that he wouldn’t give this arrogant human any more chances.
With a twist of his body, many bubbles suddenly appeared above the palace. Then, the water in the lake began to whirl around. It turned into a dozen waterspouts that were several ters high, and surged out from the lake. All of the pavilions, kiosks, and ornantal trees in the vicinity began to break down under the pressure.
"I’ll give you a chance. Kneel and kowtow in front of this prince and admit your wrongs. I can then consider sparing your life," Lucas said. He felt like a god as he floated in the air, as if the lives of the people below could be decided by a single whim of his.
Sharky sighed. He said, "Looks like that strike to your head wasn’t enough to wake you up. Where do you get the confidence to say this kind of thing?"
When he heard Sharky ntion the strike from before, Lucas erupted into fury.
"Then you can go to hell!" he shouted, his face ashen. He swung his tail, and the waterspouts rushed toward Sharky.
Water normally seed weak on its own, but when it spun at such high speeds, it beca strong enough to tear any powerful creature to shreds.
When she saw all of the stone slabs and trees destroyed by the waterspouts, Cassandra’s expression changed. She was about to use her skills to help Sharky, but he gently patted her hand, gesturing for her not to worry. However, the terrifying waterspouts quickly engulfed them.
The Fox race guards cried out in alarm. "Country lord!"
With that, even Lucas was starting to feel a bit vexed. He really had let anger get the best of him just then, forgetting that Cassandra was still there. Letting such an incredible beauty die just like that really was a waste.
Only the three won in the distance remained calm. Forget about the two grandmasters, even Alina knew there was no way Sharky would be injured by this kind of attack.
Just then, Lucas also realized that sothing wasn’t right. The terrifying waterspouts continued to ravage the area, and yet there was no blood to be seen. He looked closely at them and saw that there were two figures visible inside.
"How can this be?!" Lucas exclaid, stupefied. He had noticed that the two weren’t even moving. It was as if the terrifying waterspouts were just giving them a massage.
He had fought against Cassandra before, and he definitely didn’t have that ability. Just what kind of background did this man have, to actually be so mysterious? He could no longer retain his cool when he thought of that. On the contrary, a wave of uncertain fear welled up within him.
Inside the waterspouts, Cassandra stared at the chaos around her in a daze. However, the water only continued to swirl around them; none of it seed to have any intention of approaching them.
When she focused and examined the surroundings closely, she noticed that there seed to be a light blue barrier around them that was blocking all of the waterspouts.
Does he cultivate the water elent?
But he used fire during his battle with the Golden Crow Crown Prince!
She couldn’t help but look at the man at her side. He seed to have even more secrets!
A teasing voice suddenly said next to her ear, "What, you didn’t see enough yet last night?"
Cassandra’s entire body shook when she heard that. Then, she felt a bit weak.
Within the waterspouts, Cassandra’s heart was pounding fiercely. She would never act like this normally, because she was one of the legendary fox-spirits. However, she had been embarrassed too badly the previous night and hadn’t had any ti to pull herself together.
Sharky sensed the waterspouts around him decreasing in power, so he used Ice Phoenix’s ability to return the water back to the small lake.
Lucas’s eyes opened widely when he saw that. He exclaid, "You’re from the ocean race?"
Sharky chuckled and replied, "I am pretty fond of seafood, now that you ntion it."
Lucas’s face darkened. He spat, "You’re courting death!"
As he spoke, the entire palace was enveloped by killing intent. The fox won all turned completely pale as their very souls trembled. Those whose cultivation ranks were relatively low were so frightened they kneeled on the ground.
There had still been a clear sky above them a mont before, and yet now, dark clouds lood overhead, as if a great desolate beast had been summoned into this world. Horrifying killing intent surged and roiled within the clouds.
In the distance, Charlotte was a bit shocked. She remarked, "Wow, it is almost at your domain’s level."
Diana’s expression beca serious. She said, "This killing intent has substance, as if it’s already feasted on the blood of countless creatures. Does this Lucas really have such skill?"
"It’s from his weapon," Alina said. She noticed that a blue-green weapon had suddenly appeared in Lucas’s hand. It flickered with a horrifying frigid glint, with one sharp prong on the end. There were so dark red patterns on the tal as well.
Diana’s eyes narrowed. She said, "Those are traces left by blood. Who knows just how many lives had to be taken to produce such an effect."
"That seems to be the Lion King’s legendary weapon, the Saber!" Alina exclaid. Her expression was also a bit grave.
Cassandra said, "Young master, be careful. Lucas is wielding a weapon used by a certain generation’s Lion King. Back then, the forest was divided and in turmoil. When that Lion King united his races, untold numbers of other race experts died under this saber."
