Chapter 691 At A Critical Moment (1/2)

Caused by the impact of the assault, Darren felt all his organs were about to blow up after being hit by Dexter's palm. Fortunately, the old man was there; otherwise, Darren would have been dead.

To counter Dexter's attack, Darren and Hobson both turned around and released their auras. The urge to avenge himself overwhelmed Darren that he would rather die than be not involved in the fight.

”If we can deal with him until Finley enters and controls the holy body, we will be saved.” While catching his breath, Darren prayed in his heart that Finley could be integrated with the holy body as soon as possible.

However, as he recalled what Finley had said before, it would take him a long time to merge the holy body. If Dexter attacked with all his strength, Darren and the others would definitely not be able to hold on for that long—they were in grave danger.

”Bloke, why are you so aggressive? What benefit can you get by killing me? You are the new lord now. Can't you behave and contain yourself?” screamed the old man.

On the spur of the moment, the old man, who was the previous lord of the Mythological Palace, took a step forward and stood in front of Darren and Hobson.

”Ha-ha, what explanation is needed for the joy of killing a junior holy warrior? I am the lord now, why should I behave myself? I can do anything I want, and that includes killing all of you,” Dexter said and laughed menacingly while his eyes were burning in a reddish glow.

”Don't blame me for not reminding you that once you kill anyone, you will definitely be suppressed by the rules. You know that, don't you?” the old man asked tentatively. It could be heard on his tone that he was giving Dexter a warning.

After hearing the old man's words, Dexter was stunned for a while. He appeared to be searching for something in his mind. Dexter was a bit bothered for after he took over the lord's position, there were a lot of memories he had digested, and his mind was a bit mixed and messed up at the same time.

Dexter's face slightly changed after he searched for a while. There was a rule that kept on reverberating on mind: If the lord killed a person, he would be severely punished.

However, on second thought, Dexter told himself, ”The short old man also killed the dwarf before. Why is he fine? Why is he not punished?”

He was considering that when he took the thirteen levels of the examination to be hailed as the lord before, many examination rules were of no avail. Thus, he figured out something.

”Now, the rule shadow left by the first lord is fighting outside. He won't have time to punish me even if I kill you. Are you trying to frighten me?” Dexter exclaimed ferociously. The expression on his face signified that he was not moved by the punishment, as indicated in the rule. In other words, he was not afraid to kill.

From the start, Dexter was experienced and cunning, that might be the reason why he found out the truth right away.

Boom!

A thunderous sound was heard from the outside. The fierce battle had not yet ended, and this hall was not as stable as the core stone chamber, resulting in the hall's direct collapse.
