Having realized this, Emery was quite lighthearted. Whether the plan succeeded or not, he had nothing to fear with Philip around. At this time, Maurice was worried, and his people were panicking. They entered the formation by mistake, and everyone had suffered various wounds. This formation could attack them, resulting in various injuries. Everyone had the idea of retreating. They did not expect that a small formation could be so powerful. Delia was pleasantly surprised at their misery. So what if it was an ordinary formation? They could not escape from it. Everyone was frustrated about the formation around them. Maurice was all the angrier that this protection barrier was so powerful. “Damn it, why didn’t they use such a powerful formation earlier? Maurice said solemnly, trying to think of a way out. Everyone was flustered by his words. They would be dead if Maurice could not find a way out. Skeeter and Martha looked at each other as they stood behind the c
With their energy cores destroyed, there was no way they could continue practicing. Ordinary people could not make pills. Maurice could not bear losing half his members in one go. “Damn it, you went too far!” Maurice could not bear it anymore and started attacking the formation without qualms. He believed that as long as his attacks were stronger than the formation, he could escape. Philip and the others felt that they were very pitiful too. Seeing the heavy casualties, Philip deactivated the formation without hesitation. He did not expect that the formation he found in the book would be so powerful. This result had exceeded his imagination. The remaining opponents could hardly pose a threat to the Smith Guild now. The people trapped in the formation watched helplessly as Maurice attacked the formation frantically. Everyone pinned all their hopes on Maurice. Maurice was badly attacked by the formation and kept throwing up blood. Several of his ribs were broken.
“Philip, you'd better not push it too far.” Maurice gritted his teeth and scowled at the sight of his people behind him. Many of them died tragically. “I have to kill you to seek justice for my people.” Maurice was aware of his responsibilities. He would be doomed if he gave in. If he could not deal with the Smith Guild, he would lose his people’s trust. It would be a great blow to their dignity as a reclusive guild if they could not even handle some riffraff of the secular practice world. “The Pill Guild is a well-known existence in the reclusive practice world. I’ll never allow you to lord over us!” His wounds had stopped bleeding, and his scars looked very dramatic. However, no one from the Smith Guild sympathized with him. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. When the Pill Guild used their strength to overwhelm others, did they consider other people’s feelings? They were simply unwilling to accept the fact that they were the loser instead of the winner.
Emery was watching the excitement, but he was taken aback by Delia’s enamored behavior. As a bystander, he could not bear seeing that. Emery coughed as a reminder to Delia, but she continued staring at Philip in admiration as if she did not hear him at all. In desperation, Emery had no choice but to nudge Delia on her head. “Stop looking at others like that!” Delia smiled in embarrassment at her father’s words. She thought she was stealthy enough, but everything was out in the open. “Oh no, was I that obvious?” Delia did not pay attention to the fight at all, which was out of her hands. She simply had to act pretty and wait for victory. As everyone was waiting for the next step, the members of the Pill Guild escorted two people over. The members of the Pill Guild were already frightened out of their wits by the scene just now, and their legs were trembling. Although they were practitioners, they were the weakest bunch of all. At first, they thought the guild l
Martha shouted frantically, afraid that Philip would give up on her. Skeeter glanced at Martha in displeasure. This woman was really annoying. Maurice condoned Martha’s yelling. The more excited she was, the more anxious Philip would be. “Stop shouting. This is the territory of the Smith Guild. Can’t you see how miserable these people look? They’ll definitely let us go. With my status here, what can they do?” Skeeter said in dissatisfaction, feeling very disdainful of Martha's cowardly behavior. Martha frowned at his sarcasm. “Hehe, when they first captured you, your behavior was worse than mine. Why were you not disgusted when you knelt and begged for mercy?” Martha was an arrogant person by nature. After enduring so much fear, she finally vented. Hearing their argument, Maurice glanced at Philip triumphantly. “Haha, Philip and Emery, as you can see, your people are completely at our mercy. If you want to save them, let’s have a chat. I won’t give in to you this time
Aslan could not stand this annoying woman any longer. He stepped forward and slapped Martha in the face. Martha immediately calmed down, but her battered face became worse. Philip nodded with satisfaction and agreed with Aslan's approach. Although he wanted to do it, he knew he could not. He was happy that someone did it on his behalf. “Am I safe now?” Martha exclaimed, pleasantly surprised that she was back to safety. Skeeter panicked at Martha’s rescue. “What about me? Save me!” Skeeter had no idea what he should do. It did not look like Emery was going to save him. Skeeter tried to speak to Emery, “Guild Leader!” His voice trembled with anxiety, fearing that Emery would ignore him. If Emery wanted to save him, he would have done so already. However, he took no action and even seemed like he was watching the fun. Skeeter was very worried about his attitude. In fact, Maurice was more worried than Skeeter. He did not expect that Philip would choose to
Skeeter was horrified that Emery would give up on him. As the guild’s senior member, he knew exactly how important his position was. The guild leader had never spoken harshly to him no matter what he did. That gave him all the confidence he needed. However, Emery disappointed him today. Emery was about to give up on an elite weaponsmith such as him. “Guild Leader, I recently found a new method of weaponsmithing. I’m sure that it can replace some traditional methods.” Skeeter was very worried to see Emery ignoring him. He started talking nonsense to display his value. Once he caught Emery’s attention, Emery would save him. The most important thing now was to survive. Even if Emery found out that he was lying, nothing would happen. After all, Emery was very lenient on him. “Cut the crap. An annoying person like you deserves this!” Delia said disdainfully. She had always found Skeeter to be a nasty person. Everyone felt very happy about Skeeter’s comeuppance.
Maurice held back on this attack. Anyone could have stopped the wind blade easily, but no one made a move. Maurice was very puzzled by this bizarre outcome. “What’s going on?” The reactions of the people from the Smith Guild were too strange for words. A member of their guild just died, so why were they smiling brightly as if they were about to pop a champagne to celebrate it? Delia jumped at this scene. Although Delia never interfered in the guild’s affairs, she was aware of Skeeter's thoughts about her. Delia had always been obsessed with good looks, so a short and old man like Skeeter did not attract her at all. However, he pursued Delia shamelessly, always hoping that Emery would marry his daughter to him. He even used various means to threaten Emery. After having had enough of Skeeter, Delia was in a very good mood. Other members could not contain their excitement and jumped for joy too. The biggest villain and troublemaker in their guild was dead! This w
