674: Chapter 413: Dare Not Not Take _3 674: Chapter 413: Dare Not Not Take _3 Owen Bertram walked at a leisurely pace through County Town with his hands behind his back, leaving a trail of panic in his wake.
The County Magistrate had organized officials and governnt officials to nervously climb up the city wall and look out, wondering how such a small place could attract so many powerful Fifth Realm fighters.
“Be very careful,” they fretted, “or half of our county town might collapse in an instant…”
Master had already arrived, but Magpie was still fighting the Red Race in the sky.
This slight greatly angered Magpie.
With a harsh shout, her brother quickly slid down her feathers and penetrated the armor of the Red Race mber.
The Red Race mber imdiately froze, locked in a struggle for control of their body with Dave, the Little Ghost.
Seeing her opportunity, Magpie fiercely pecked a hole in the armor and pulled out a beating heart!
Little Ghost Dave also took advantage of the opportunity, quickly suppressing the Red Race mber’s soul and gripping it with one hand.
United as siblings, their combined strength was unmatched.
Magpie shouted triumphantly and dove, dropping the already-dead Red Race mber in front of Master.
The capturing of the Red Race mbers was swift, and in the ti it takes to brew a pot of tea, three Red Race mbers were killed or captured.
Everley and his two brothers watched with pounding hearts, astonished at Owen Bertram’s increasingly terrifying strength.
These three Red Race mbers were considered to be at the Fifth Great Realm level in the Wood Dynasty’s cultivation system!
Divine Heavenly Soldier had already put away his Tier-6 Ancient Sword.
His four chanical spider arms carried the Red Race corpse, half in each arm, and dropped it in front of Owen Bertram.
The corpse was not bloody, as its insides had been dried up by so intense heat.
This was not the result of Divine Heavenly Soldier’s sword, but a consequence of the cultivation thod of the Red Race.
Owen Bertram glanced around and stretched out his left hand, grabbing at the air towards a huge tree in the distance.
The soul of a Red Race mber, screaming in protest, was pulled to him by Owen Bertram’s power.
As the soul left the tree, the wooden heart of the tree spewed forth a surge of black fla that incinerated the whole tree to ashes in the blink of an eye!
Owen Bertram turned to Ice and Snow Divine Sword in dissatisfaction, “What are you keeping him for?”
Ice and Snow Divine Sword scolded himself for not understanding Master better.
Why spare any of them?
Master had his own thods for interrogating souls.
With a swipe of an ice-cold sword aura, he pierced the last Red Race mber through their heart with chilling precision!
Moreover, Ice and Snow Divine Sword’s sycophancy was exceptional.
He froze the Red Race mber’s soul and presented it as a gift to Master.
Owen Bertram prepared to interrogate the soul imdiately, then glanced back at the uneasy County Town and ordered Leroy Baker, “Go with Felix and comfort the County Magistrate and the people of the city.”
“Understood.” Leroy Baker led Felix away by the hook on his nose.
Felix pleaded, “Young Host, I’m willing to submit, atone for my cris and contribute to the cause.
Can you please remove this thing from my nose?
When you lead around like this, I always feel like I’m a cow…”
Leroy Baker sneered dismissively, “The cows my Young Host raises are more valuable than a broke East Prison Town Defense Command Thousand Households like you.
Don’t you have a sense of what money you should earn and what money you shouldn’t take as officials of the Imperial Court?”
Felix forced a bitter smile and replied sincerely, “Young Host, you really don’t understand the situation!
Let ask you, Lin Ronald took the money, Stan Ronald took the money, even the Seventh Prince took the money – how could I dare not take it?”
Leroy Baker was speechless.
Approaching the city gate, he finally waved his hand and removed the fishhook from Felix’s nose.
…
Owen Bertram began to interrogate the souls using The Three-part Spirit Technique.
He focused first on the one he had seized from the tree.
However, when the divine skill was activated, a black fla brand erged from the soul, exuding a powerful and scorching energy like a blazing volcano that threatened to sear Owen Bertram’s soul!
Souls at the Sixth Great Realm were extrely powerful, yet they felt a slight pain under this intense heat.
Owen Bertram did not back down, instead choosing to seize the opportunity to personally experience the power of the Red Race’s cultivation thods.
As the black fla brand encountered no resistance, it beca increasingly aggressive.
Suddenly, it seed as if so rule in the void was disturbed.
An unseen, powerful force seed to draw attention from sowhere in the void, projecting towards them!
This force felt sowhat familiar to Owen Bertram.
It was like the evil energy found in the Magic Wave – not part of the real world, yet not the sa as the evil energy, as if it ca from sowhere else in the void.
For ordinary cultivators, they might instinctively feel reverence for both the evil energy and the power of the black fla brand.
But Owen Bertram was not like that.
He was experienced in fighting against evil energy and had reached the Sixth Great Realm.
He could see through the illusions and hidden nature of many things.
For example, the power of evil energy and the black fla brand were difficult to deal with, leading people to mistakenly believe they were forces from a higher world – how could one not be awestruck?
However, Owen Bertram understood that the difficulty in fighting such power lay in the fact that it did not belong to the real world.
When they invaded the real world, fighting them with the real world’s power would naturally be difficult.
As Owen Bertram had experienced in fighting the Magic Wave in Sharon Mansion, the inhabitants of the evil energy world also found it difficult to deal with once he managed to invade their world through the gap in the real world – it was the sa principle in both cases.
