Billionaire With Husband 478

Chapter 478

The most terrifying aspect was that only a few minutes had passed between the gate's. destruction and their arrival, which spoke volumes about the intruder's incredible power. They wondered what kind of monster could accomplish such devastation in mere minutes. "Felix!" Jaden's shout snapped Cecil back to reality, and he focused on the lone figure standing amidst the bloodbath.

It was indeed Felix, the same man who had been rescued by master healers. Yet,

this

seemed impossible, as Felix had lost all his martial powers-even a Martial King should have been able to defeat him easily.

"So you remember me? Do you stood with his hands behin

all what I said when I left Crimson Sage Sect?" Felix

k, staring at the mastermind of his kidnapping.

He added, "I told you that once I returned, Crimson Sage Sect would cease to exist, and no one can change that inevitable fact."

Since leaving the mountain, Felix had never suffered such humiliation. It was also why this was his first order of business after successfully absorbing the dragon's spine and reaching the Innate Realm. "Felix, don't get ahead of yourself!" Jaden shouted, his body trembling with rage.

He could not comprehend how someone he had dismissed as a nobody just a month ago could walk into Crimson Sage Sect alone and single-handedly assault their sect.

"Run!" Cecil suddenly hurled Jaden backward and turned to face Felix. "The blame lies with the source-Jaden's actions were the result of my mentorship. If you seek revenge, direct it at me."

As a powerful fighter who had weathered countless storms, Cecil knew he was no match for Felix, especially with all their strongest martial artists dead. Thus, his only option was to protect his apprentice.

He could not understand how someone who had lost their powers could reach such terrifying heights in such a short time. While he was puzzled, he knew that was not important now. The reality was that there was no escaping the consequences of the past. "Do you think stalling for time will work against me?" Felix asked coldly.

Cecil gritted his teeth and raised both hands, causing the ground to collapse and violent winds to surge-demonstrating his technique immense power. "Even if I die, you'll at least be severely injured!"

He had activated a forbidden technique that could gravely harm him, something he would only use in life-threatening situations.

Felix smirked and took a step forward. "Severely injured? Cecil, you overestimate yourself. To me now, your fate is determined by my words alone."

With another step, Felix uttered a single word. "Kneel."

Cecil crashed to his knees with such force that the stone slabs beneath him shattered.

Cecil's eyes filled with terror as he realized what he had just experienced. "Impossible! You've reached the Innate Realm!"

There was no mistake-as a Martial Saint himself, he knew only an Innate Realm's pressure could force him to kneel without physical contact. But how could someone as young as Felix achieve this legendary realm? "You'll go first, and I'll send J

join you soon enough. You know I always keep my

word," Felix declared, his eyes showing murderous intent.

Cecil accepted his fate but used his last breath to shout, "Run, Jaden! Kennedy, I leave Jaden to you!"

Felix vanished from his spot, and as Cecil collapsed, Felix's words lingered in the air. "He won't escape." 1
