After the violent attack, the world was peaceful again.
Marinos and Nevyle were already standing in the air, their gazes were focused on the ground below.
Below them, the ground had collapsed. Smoke and dust rose in the air. They could not clearly see what was going on with Henry.
As a strong gust of wind blew past them, the dense cloud of smoke and dust began to disperse.
Henry, who was in the centre of the collapse, was also gradually revealed in Marinos and Nevyle's sight. As they saw the state Henry was in, the corners of their lips curled into smiles.
Henry had completely lost the ability to fight. His upper body was covered with blood. The violent Qi tore his skin apart, and the white bones of his shoulder blades were visible, which showed how bad the state Henry was in.
However, even so, Nevyle and Marinos did not dare to go down immediately. Nevyle stood in the air and blasted of blood-red rays of light at Henry, launching long-distance attacks at him.
Being in that state at that moment, Henry was unable to resist those attacks effectively. He could only condense an energy shield over his body. However, every time he resisted Nevyle's attack, the shield in front of Henry would weaken.
Nevyle and Marinos were not in a hurry either. They were just hacked slowly at Henry's defences.
Henry lay on the ground covered in blood. He put one hand on his chest and held the broken blade in the other. At that moment, the broken blade was the trump card for Henry to break through the obstruction of Marinos and Nevyle. Henry was sure that he could definitely injure them seriously if he struck at them with an all-out blow, but he would end up much worse than them. What he needed to do was not to injure them heavily, but to escape the Recluse World.
However, how could he escape now? If the two red cardinals wanted to kill him, he would definitely be unable to escape by relying on a normal path. If he were to fight them with all he had, both parties would sustain serious injuries. By then, even a Qi-concentration Realm practitioner or even a Qi-Transformation Realm practitioner would be able to take his life, much less a Divine Realm Realm expert who stood guard.
A sense of desperation rose from the bottom of Henry's heart. Henry knew that this trip to the Recluse World would be a dangerous one, but he was not expecting the Recluse Association to have such a strong intention to kill him. In fact, Henry had already known that the secret of him knowing about the secrets of the City of Hell had completely been exposed, but he was still unsure if this news had been spread by Randell, or if had been leaked from elsewhere.
From the moment the Recluse Association had told Henry that he was to meet with its President, and when the Noble Berserkers had sent a similar invitation letter to Henry on the same day, Henry had already known that these two superpowers were trying to force him to spill the secret.
Currently, Radiant Island was still weak. In the face of the two superpowers, the Recluse Association and the Noble Berserkers, Radiant Island was just like a small raft in the sea. As for the two superpowers, they were like giant cruise ships. Once the sea begins raging, the small raft would have to choose a giant cruise ship to rely on.
Between the Recluse Association and the Noble Berserkers, Henry chose the Recluse Association. Unfortunately for him, it seemed that he had made the wrong choice.
Henry lay weak on the debris-filled ground. The ground beneath him had collapsed, and the sprouting plants beneath the ground were visible.
The energy shield that was formed over Henry began to weaken.
Nevyle's attacks from the air had also become increasingly fierce.
A crescent- shaped ray of red light slashed towards Henry, and the moment it touched the energy shield in front of Henry,
"Crack!"
A soft crack sounded.
