Elvis' face darkened as he clenched his fist tightly. If Jason's people harmed even one strand of hair on
his daughter's head, he would not let him or his subordinates leave the Ji Clan's territory alive.
At that moment, the master at the third grade of the Supernal Stage was only less than half a meter
away from Sabina. He had transformed his hands into talons. Like an eagle ready to pounce upon its
prey, he manifested two ferocious spiritual claws in the air. The attacks were fast and fierce. Moreover,
the spiritual power within each attack was quite overwhelming.
Even though Sabina reacted quickly, she was still a little slower in her defense. She was well-aware
that her opponent's strength was greater than hers. Just as she couldn't dodge the spiritual claws that
came at her, she suddenly felt a strong and sturdy arm wrapped around her waist. The next moment,
she disappeared from where she was previously standing.
Suddenly, the whole area was covered with smoke. Bang! They heard some loud crashing noise from
where Sabina was standing earlier.
The spiritual claws missed their target and directly hit a stone pillar in the hall. The impact produced the
loud crashing sound. The stone debris scattered everywhere and the entire stone pillar was cracked,
as if it would instantly crumble into dust the moment someone touched it.
The people around them held their breaths as the master charged towards Sabina. When they saw that
she hadn't been hit, they collectively let out a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, they all thought that
she wouldn't be able to evade the attack. However, they were shocked when they looked at Sabina
again. The mysterious man in the bamboo hat who followed her inside before just appeared out of
nowhere. Furthermore, she was leaning in this mysterious man's arms without apprehension!
Naturally, a commotion broke through the entire Celestial Hall. All the guests were now wondering what
the relationship between the mysterious man and Sabina was and why they behaved so intimately in
public.
"Wait! Isn't that... Isn't he the guy we saw with her yesterday?" one of the guests murmured to his
companion.
"Yes, Miss Sabina herself admitted that he is her man!" another one whispered.
"That's right! Lots of people even heard her say that," added another guest.
At that point, the crowd began to have a heated discussion about who this man was. Once again,
everyone's attention was focused on the mysterious man. And because Sabina personally admitted
that the mysterious man was her lover, they were naturally curious about who he was!
Rocky looked softly at Sabina in his arms. He seemed really concerned about her. Then, he asked her
affectionately, "Are you all right?"
Sabina hurriedly shook her head. Her usual icy and serious face turned red. It was like watching the ice
melt during the early spring, full of unique charm.
Everyone was even more surprised because they could see that Sabina was acting like a lady who was
so shy in front of her lover. It was really shocking for them to see her blush under her lover's gaze.
They couldn't believe that she, who had always regarded men as nothing, was now attracted to this
mysterious man. It absolutely frustrated them that they didn't know his real identity!
In any case, they also felt that this man was quite peculiar. He didn't look strong, yet he radiated a
certain aura that gave people a sense of tranquility. It was also as if there was no one else the
mysterious man could see except for Sabina.
Aside from Elvis and the elders of the Ji Clan, there were several representatives from other clans who
had extraordinary strength present in this gathering. Moreover, there were also a lot of peerless
masters at the Divine Stage and masters at the Supernal Stage. However, the mysterious man exuded
such an irresistible aura. As if he was standing in the spotlight, he attracted everyone's attention.
On the other hand, Jason didn't express any interest in the mysterious man. Unlike everyone, he didn't
seem amazed by him. He only saw that neither of the two powerful men at the Supernal Stage could do
anything to hurt Sabina. Therefore, he decided to step in. All of a sudden, his figure hovered for a while
and turned into a shadow. In a split second, he was already heading straight for Sabina and the
mysterious man. It seemed apparent that he was going to deal with Elvis' daughter himself.
They heard a voice echoing throughout the hall. "Watch out, Sabina!" Elvis shouted as his face turned
pale. He didn't expect that Jason would have ignored his established social status and the strength of
Ji Clan. It was obvious that Jason wanted to handle Sabina himself. So Elvis immediately stepped
forward and tried to stop him.
However, Jason was just a few meters away from Sabina. Hence, he was out of Elvis' grasp. A strong
spiraling wind force gathered quickly on his palms. It continuously spun around and began to
condense. With a mighty push, he directed the force towards Sabina and the mysterious man without a
second thought.
Meanwhile, the crowd also felt the power of the spiraling wind and felt a strong pressure coming at
them. An attack from a peerless master at the Divine Stage was truly extraordinary!
"Finally, the cornered beast is using its last option out of sheer desperation..." Rocky, who held Sabina
safely in his arms, revealed a twisted smile. He pulled Sabina and placed her behind him. At the same
time, he stepped forward and stared directly at Jason. In an instant, his left palm twitched lightly. Soon
after, he faced Jason's attacks head-on.
Sabina couldn't believe her eyes. She could see clearly that Rocky wanted to forcefully block Jason's
spiritual martial arts skill.
When the guests saw the mysterious man take action, their faces were full of astonishment and
concern. Even though they didn't know who he was, they were worried about him! Judging from the
stranger's aura alone, the people thought that he couldn't be a powerful master. And even though they
commended Sabina for being brave enough to stand up for herself, fighting with Jason head-on was no
different than courting death.
Under the attentive gaze of the crowd, they saw Jason's forceful palm attack collided violently with
Rocky's left palm.
But to everyone's surprise, nothing happened after their collision. Jason's wind power suddenly
disappeared. Meanwhile, Rocky just stood there as if nothing happened. Clearly, his attempt to block
the attack and protect Sabina was a success. A triumphant smile appeared on his face.
Jason immediately took a step back. His facial expression changed drastically from a look of arrogance
to sheer terror. He clutched his chest with his hand and stared at Rocky in disbelief.
Everyone was also stunned as they watched this scene unfold. They couldn't understand why Rocky
was not hurt at all. Instead, the seemingly much stronger Jason even took a step back.
"Jason, thank you for showing mercy!" Rocky said out loud as he cupped his hands on purpose.
Jason looked rather livid. How dare he insult him like this? Who was this man?
"Jason, you must have a more important task to do. Hurry up. If you don't act now, I'm afraid it will be
too late," Rocky continued as if he was implying something. He looked Jason straight in the eyes.
"Well... Consider yourself lucky this time! Everyone, let's go!" Jason looked around the crowd and said
in a shaky voice. After that, he hurried away with his people.
Again, everyone was dumbfounded to see that after Jason and Rocky's first encounter, the former
suddenly left dejectedly. They instantly felt that he seemed to be rather afraid of Rocky. Once more,
they all focused their attention on this duel's winner. They all wondered what kind of God he was. How
could he let someone like Jason, who didn't even respect Elvis, just walk away like that?
Simultaneously, Jason had just taken a few steps out of the Celestial Hall and licked the inside of his
mouth. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. His face turned from blue green to black.
'Who the hell is that guy? He's unbelievably strong! How was he able to break several of my meridians
with just one palm? Even Elvis couldn't do that...' Jason thought to himself. His face showed utter
disbelief and a trace of fear. That was why he left the hall immediately. He felt that this mysterious man
with a bamboo hat was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Besides, he was probably not a
member of the Ji Clan. If Jason chose to fight, he would be the one who would suffer the most. He was
severely disadvantaged against this man.
He had no idea that the reason why Rocky could hurt him so badly was that he completely
underestimated his opponent. Rocky used the devouring power of the Holy Dragon Bead on him.
Therefore, he was seriously injured. It could be seen that Rocky's strength had greatly improved.
