Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2457

Amidst the chatter, Lucio's pale green energy began surging.

"Fade, it seems like you won't understand the power of those on the inner island unless I teach you a lesson today!"

Huff!

After letting out a breath, both of Lucio's hands moved.

Several swirls of light green mist started to condense around him. Finally, they assimilated into a single green cloud, which hung over the heads of the people there menacingly. Poison Cloud Hall, just as its name implied, was renowned fortheir poison abilities.

As a deacon of Poison Cloud Hall, it was a given that Lucio would use poison. That green cloud was his supreme skill, the Poison Cloud Attack.

"Fade, I'll give you one last chance. Stop now and apologize. I'll stop my attack then. Otherwise, you'll regret it," he said coolly.

Silent, Fade responded with an outburst of energy.

"You're looking for death!" Instantly, Lucio flew into a rage. He clapped his hands together, causing the poison cloud to fly out towards Fade.

The energy that Fade released instantly dissolved and dissipated once it collided with the poison cloud.

"Now, you must understand how strong I am!" Lucio smirked and continued attacking.

Fade watched the dissipating energy and nodded slightly. Under his breath, he said, "So that's what it does. If that's the case, let's use wind essence then!"

All along, his first attack was just to test the powers of Lucio's Poison Cloud Attack.

Now that he had figured it out, he came to a swift decision.

After triggering the wind essence of the elixir core, a strong wind whistled out of both of Fade's arms, flying out into the area instantly.

The wind traveled at breakneck speed, eventually morphing into two tornados.

The two tornados turned parallel to each other, like two huge fans.

Before Lucio's Poison Cloud Attack could get to Fade, it was sucked into one of the tornados and immediately vanished.

Lucio had never thought for a moment that his supreme skill would be dismantled by Fade just like that.

Just as he was standing there, confounded, sharp blades appeared in the tornados and headed for Lucio.

He got the shock of his life. He quickly executed a series of somersaults and ended up narrowly escaping the tornados.

However, he had been cut by the wind blades on his side. The blades left a wound that dripped fresh blood onto the ground. "How is Fade so powerful?" Lucio panted heavily, fear creeping into his heart and ensnaring it wholly.

Fade's gaze was stone- cold as he stepped forward. "Didn't I already say that no one can stop me?"

His chilling bloodlust was like the blade of a knife, stabbing right into Jaston and Lucio and leaving them stricken with fear.

"Mr. Lou, save me!" Jaston shouted.

It was then that Lucio began having regrets.

The reason Lucio protected Jaston was because he had been bribed by the Yuwen family to treat Jaston better. Plus, he himself never liked Fade.

Hence, he acted not only to protect his own disciple, but to also put Fade in his place.

However, Fade's power left him stunned. It was beyond his wildest imaginations to think that Fade could even get the upper hand over him.

If it continued that way, it wouldn't be a question of whether Lucio was able to save Jaston. Rather, it would become a question of whether he himself could survive at Fade's hands.

At present, with Lucio unable to protect himself, how could he save Jaston?

Therefore, in the face of Jaston's cry for help, Lucio paid him no mind. Contrarily, he ran in the other direction.

When he saw that, Jaston went dumbstruck. His expression was one of utter despair. "Mr. Lou, no..."

Equipped with a murderous energy, Fade was about to descend.

However, right then, something happened.

Just like the movies, a rumbling clap of thunder resounded in the area. With a flash, the once-clear sky immediately turned gloomy.

The entire sky churned with thunder, chaotic gales and heavy rain, as if the apocalypse itself had arrived.

That sight left the people of the outer island stunned. They turned towards the sky, looking at it with terror written all over their faces.

Even Fade inadvertently stopped in his tracks and peered at the thundering sky.

In the distance, he could vaguely make out a few figures speedily flying over amidst the thunder and flashes of lightning.

"That's..."

Just as the gears of Fade's mind began moving, those figures swiftly arrived in the sky above the Yuwen family's hall. Accompanied by thunder and lightning, they descended. As they appeared, the terrifying sky slowly returned to normal.

The escaping Lucio was taken aback when he saw them. "Main deacons, why are all of you here?"

"Main deacons!"

Those two words caused a stir amongst the audience.

Even a normal deacon from Poison Cloud Hall like Lucio was hard to come by for the families in the outer islands.

However, they were currently

witnessing the arrival of not one, but

over ten main deacons, all a level

above a normal deacon like Lucio. It

was an unprecedented scene for the outer islands. Such a thing had never happened in hundreds of years.

Jaston, who had also been dumbfounded, immediately saw a way out. Evidently rejoicing, he hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Abelard, I'm a disciple of Poison Cloud Hall. That guy over there, Fade Chen, wants to kill me. Please save me!"

After hearing the cry for help, the main deacon named Abelard glanced over and frowned, "What's going on?"

Upon hearing that, Lucio was astonished. "Mr. Abelard, didn't you come here to congratulate Jaston?"

That had been Lucio's sole purpose in going to the Yuwen family residence. Thus, he had assumed that Abelard was there for the same reason.

However, Abelard furrowed his brows and asked emotionlessly, "Who's Jaston?"

"Ah?" Lucio paused. "Mr. Abelard, Jaston Yuwen is the disciple whom Poison Cloud

Hall took in this year."

Abelard glared at him. "Lucio, have you gone mad? Do you think a mere disciple would be worth me and the rest of the main deacons making a move?"

Lucio glanced sideways at the other

main deacons of the Martial Halls,

all of whom did not pale in

comparison to Abelard.

Subconsciously, he gulped down his saliva and carefully inquired, Mr. Abelard, may I ask why you're here?"

"Something strange happened in the heart of the Prohibition Tree. The chiefs suspect that it has something to do with the student who fell inside it. We were told to investigate the situation," Abelard explained. "What! The student who fell into the heart of the tree, Fade, he..." Shocked, Lucio inadvertently looked at him.

At that moment, Fade was looking at the main deacons. He thought rapidly, "It seems like the people of the inner islands have noticed the movement of the heart of the tree. I mistook the reason for Lucio's arrival; I overestimated him. He knew nothing of this situation."

"I guess the main deacons are the ones who came to investigate the situation."

Right then, Abelard and the other main deacons also turned their gazes to Fade. "So you're Fade Chen, the student who fell into the heart of the tree?"

"That's right, I'm Fade!" He nodded.

However, after a pause, he shook his head and said in a low voice, "But I didn't fall. Someone pushed me."
